WEDNESDAY, MAY 6,
AT B P. M. MUST
RAISE m,m
Ultimatum is Given to Hayti
by Britain. Warship to
Back it up.
Port Au Prince, Hayti— The British
diplomatic representative at Port Au
Prince today delivered an ultimatum
to the Haytien government demand
ing the immediate payment of an in
demnity of $62,000 to a British sub
ject in compensation for the destruc
tion by fire of his saw mill during
the Leconte revolution. ,
The ultimatum expires at 6 o’clock
this evening.
The British demand is supported by
the presence here of the British
cruiser Suffolk. The payment of this
sum of money to the British subject
in question, a man named Peters had
perilously been ordered into a court
of arbitration. The chamber of depu
ties and the senate considered the
British demand in a joint session
marked by grea. excitement. There
are no funds in hand with which to
make the payment.
ME. G. P. TALBOTF IN
REAL ESTATE FIELD
Former Advertising Manager
for The Herald Has Offices
in Leonard Building Now.
Announcement is made today else
where in Tjje Herald that Mr. G. P.
Talbott, former advertising manager
for The Herald and more recently of
The Chronicle, is entering the real
estate business. He has an office in
the Leonard Buildidg, the fifth floor,
and his telephone number is 3067. He
is in the business to do business and
it is predicted by his friends, and they
are not a lew, that the will ‘make
good.”
Mr. Talbott has been living in this
state for the past ten years and is
pretty well known. His splendid bus
iness ability places him among the
foremost in his line of newspaper
work. There will probably not be
anyone among the real estate men of
Augusta who will be better known or
more highly thought cf than Mr. Tal
bott, for he has had pleasant business
relations with most everyore ir the
city.
Before coming to The Herald about
five years ago Mr. Talbott was ad
vertising manager on The Savannah
Press. Real estate, however, is oy no
means anything new to Mr. Talbott,
for in Danville, Va.. he was in the
real estate field and dcing well.
“I have fceen induced to enter the
real estate business,” says Mr. Tal
botu “because 1 think there is a
bright future for Augusta realty. I
have been watching it for several
rears and 1 am convinced of the fact
that there has been more activity in
Augusta rea. estate in the past six
mon.lis than previously in two years.
It is going to continue to be active,
Tor Augusta's brighter prospects are
just anead of us.”
MR. R. E. CARROLL MAKES
STATEMENT FOR COOROS
Says Was at His Suggestion
Wounded Greek Made State
ment Concerning Gavalos’
Wife.
The following statement in justice
to Nick Cooros is made voluntarily
by Mr. R. E. Carroll, who says that it
was at the suggestion of himself and
others that Cooros at the hospital
made a statement in which he referred
to his having had no personal relations
with the wife of his would-be slayer:
"In the Herald of Sunday, May 3rd,
I noticed in an article regarding tha
condition of Nick Cooros, the Greek
who was shot several days prior to
the above date by another Greek,
George Gavalas, the following:
“ ‘ln a statement made by Cooros
at the city hospital he denied that he
had had any relations whatsoever
with Gavalas’ wife. The apparently
voluntary statement of Cooros, made
when he was uncertain whether he
would recover or not, to the effect that
he had nothing to do with Gavalas*
wife, has been a matter of consider
able comment since, up to this time,
there has been nothing publicly stated
giving any reason for the shooting
except that Cavalas did not like him,
net the otner Augusta Greeks and
that he became 'deranged and shot
Nick Cooros without any reason.’
“In justice to Nick Cooros I wish
to state to the public that shortly af
ter the shooting occurred I went
around to the police station and while
there heard some one state that they
had heard George Gavalas state after
he had shot Nick Cooros that he
(Nick) had ruined his (George Gaval
as’s) home. I Immediately went to the
city hospital to inquire as to the con
dition of Nick Cooros, as X had known
him very pleasantly in the past. After
talking to the physician and finding
out that Nick was about to be taken
to the operating room for a very del
icate operation and that his chances
were very slim for recovery, I sent for
his partner, Peter George, and Dr.
Wilson (an intern at the hospital) and
stated to them the conversation I had
heard at the police station. Peter
George, Dr. Wilson and myself all
thought It best to have Nick make a
statement before he went on the oper
ating table. This Is reason Nick
Cooros made this stat; rnent at our
suggestion. Of course I did not think
this statement would be made public
unless the operation had been a fail
ure."
