DETECTIVES PROBE SLAYING MYSTERY
Man Found Dead in Park With
Bullet in Head Thought To
Be From South Georgia.
Detectives visited Piedmont Park
Wednesday, prior to the inquest on
the death of the man whose body was
discovered the previous evening. a
bullet hole in the head, in a wooded
ravine at the north end of the lake.
Coroner Donehoow as inclined to
the theorv of murder, and the detec
tives' search was largely devoted to
an effort to find the ‘revolver with
which the man's death had been ac
complished. The bullet, found in the
brain of the dead man, was .38 cali
ber. Two cartridges of that size were
found in his coat pocket.
Perhaps the strongest rveason for
doubting the suicide theory was found
in the fact that there arpeared to he
no powder burns about -the wound,
although it was of so great a size
that it suggested the o\'pfnsi\'n effects
of a revolver at very close range
Came From South Georgia.
The wound was just back of his
left ear, the bullet going nearly
through the head.
No letters or other means of tden
tification were found in the pockets
The name *‘Paul’” was stamped on the
inside of the man’'s collar, and the
initials “P. G.”. were written on it
with pen and ink.
The coat was tailor made, and bore
the mark “T. M, C. Coy’ of ("hicago
A gray hat was marked “B. H. lLevy.
Brother & Co., Savannah and Bruns
wick,” and was newer than the rest
of the clothing, which the police take
to indicate that the man came here
from South Georgia.
Marks on the dead man's face and
Fead aprarently: indicated a struggle
before death. The left eve was black
and swollen and back of the right ear
was a large lump
Change Found in Pocket,
Both of these marks, however,
might have resulted from the explo
sive force of the revalver shot, the
lump back of the ear being caused by
the action of the bullet. ;
The hody, which is at the under
t-king rooms of A. O. and Roy Done
heo. is that of a man about 30 years
old: five feet six inches in height;
and weighing about 150 pounds. His
feet were amall for his size, his
shoes heing No. 3 He had graz

BELFAST, April 29.—The cordon of
warships thrown around Ireland by the
English Government to check the op
erations of ‘‘gun runners’” smuggling
arms and munitions of war to the Ulster
volunteers was strengthened to-day
when eleven vessels of the British navy
arrived in Bangor Bay and dropped an
chor.
The squadron included fleet cruisers
that can run down the fastest smuggling
ship afloat and gunboats that can op
erate inshore and capture contrabrand
suppliies,
Wild excitement was caused here by
the news of the arrival of the warships.
Reports were circulated that the vessels
had brought troops who would be land
ed in case the soldiers of Ireland re
fused to take any action against the
people of Ulster. Great crowds bhas
tened to Bangor, which is twelve miles
from this city, and stood for hours
watching the vessels. Bangor (astle
was besieged by a mob that struggled
to reach the castle towers in order to
get a better view of the riot.

News has gone out that the heauti

her fresh, vouthful charmg beneath
the rags and gray smudge and white

Tuesday's performance of ‘Il Trova

star ‘iz fixed in Atlanta’'s musical
firmament.
Fifteen times the atternoon crowd
in the sultry Auditoriam recalled her
and Riecardo Martin bhefore the big
red curtain to accept flattering hom
age. She howed and smiled and
kissed her hand and otherwise acted
like the verv girli she i{s; and then
came Lack at the insistent call. Her

Gadski Also Given Ovation.
But, as occurred on another mem
orable occasion, there was honor
enough for all. Johanna Gadski, well
known and well beloved in Atlanta,
shared, as a brilliant lL.eonora, her
laurels, and it seemed as if the crowd
would never have done with calling
Martin, the Manrico, and Amato, the

thunder of hand-elapping did not
ceem to suffice for their judgment of
Amato; the enthusiastic among the
cognoscenti who rhron}od the big

vells when he came out alone to bow

way of his.
It is alwaye thusg when “111 Travo

WASHINGTON, April 29.—General Venustiano Carranza,
firs, chief of the Constitutionalists, appeared to-day to be the rock
upon which peace negotiations between the United States and Mex
ico were doomed to split.
Carrying out his announced determination, Carranza has re
plied to the “*A B €'’ mediation commission, declaring his refusal
to countenance any overtures to which Dictator Huerta is recog
nized as a party. Nor will Carranza join in any diplomatic deal
ings designed to curtail the freedom of the northern rebels in mak
ing war on the Huerta regime.
It was admitted here to-day that Pancho Villa, military leader
of the rebels, is more emphatically than ever the man of the hour
in Northern Mexico. i
The Administration has hopes of persuading General Villa to
abandon his chief. In other words, it wants the revolutionists to
divide into factions, with their fighting man siding with the United
States. Constitutionalists here predict that if a note should be
addressed to Villa he would not answer it.
Without a cessation of hLostil
ities on the part of all the parties
to the confliet, mediation will
fail. This is recognized mn Ad
ministration and diplomatie eir.
cles here,
The proposals of Huerta and the
United States were expected to be
laid hefore Ambassador De Gama, of
Rrazil; Minister Naon, of Argentina,
and Minister Suarez, of Chlle, the
peace mediators, at their meeting to
aay.
Their first step toward settlement
of the gituation, It was understood,
was to be an attempted arrangemant
of an armed truce, with striet main
tenance of the status quo.
Demand Huerta Retire.
This proposal was favorahly re
garded by President Wilson and
would form a basis for further nego
tiations.
The proposals of the United States,
as outlined here, In)hxde the surren
der of the Government by Huerta,
with no withadrawal of the mimar,vi‘
forces of the United States from
Mexico until after an election. It
was expected that Huerta would meet |
the demand that he abhdicate by sug
gesting the delegation of his power f-‘.‘
a man of his own choosing.
