TUESDAY. JUNE 9 ; Mediators Dovetailing Peace Plans of Mexic and the U. S. Delegates (Continued from Page 1.) mediators and the constitutionalists is expected to be brought to an end in another day or two. The mediators are insistent on their original terms — declaration of an armistice and broad ening the discussion from interna tional to internal affairs. The con stitutionalists are walling to meet the mediators on a satisfactory basis as to the latter point, but they are ab eoluely determined against declaring any armistice. It was announced by the mediating plenipotentiaries last night that thes would make public to day their correspondence with the con stitutionalists but word was received today through the American delegates that Gen. Carranza’s answer to their latest note already had been despatch ed to Washington and would be for warded by Rafael Zubaran. It was decided therefore to withhold publi cation for the present. Reply to Note. These final communications from the mediators in reply to the note brougi t here by Juan F. rquidi re ferred to a paragraph saying that the differences between the United States and Mexico "ought not to be resolved without constitutionalists being rep resented." The mediators asked If this meant that Gen. Carranza was willing to en ter the negotiations on the original terms and if so. said that delegates r.ffiTuM he sent here at once. Armistice Proposal. Regarding the armistice proposal the constitute ilia lists i ave argued that to declare a truce without knowing In advance the terms of the peace plan Is like buying an article of apparel without knowing if it will fit. They maintain that their large military or ganization cannot be disrupted for a short period without -considerable danger of military chiefs losing con trol of their restlc-ss troops. Another Factor. Another factor is that all the mili tary chiefs and leaders over a year ago signed a pact, known as the plan of Guadalupe, which provides specifi eally that the constitutionalists shall take possession of Mexico City by force of arms and establish a provis ional presidency. To effect a change another conference might be neces sary and this could not be had, con stitutoinalists say, unless there was framed in advance ajieace plan likely to be satisfactory to all. Compromise in Sight. With this view the American gov ernment is more or less in sympathy and a compromise arrangement is be lieved to be in sight whereby the peace plan will be taken up with the consti tutionalists in channels separate from the mediation. As a result no proto col can he signed in the next fort night, it is believed and probably there will be a lull in the conferences. Everything that has been advanced by the American delegates in theit proposals for peace has been contin gent upon ultimate constitutionalist approval so that there is a confidence in many quarters that agreement with th onstitutionaiists will not be a dif ficult task even if they do not join in the conferences. The constitutionalists, too, undoubt edly will have a voice in the selection of the man to be provisional presi dent and at Igast two of their number would occupy The principal portfolios of the new cabinet. NO DEMAND ASKED OF MEXICO FOR WAR LOSSES (Continued from Page 1.) ence opened. This made it easy for the opposing delegates to meet har moniously. The Constitutionalists. It was responsible largely for-the ease with which a general understand ing was reached between them and it lent consistency to the American ed mand that consideration be given to the constitutionalist cause. The sub mission yesterday of the American plan, accompanied by verbal state ments from the delegates of the Unit ed States removed all doubt that this country was not disposed to make any unnecessary drain upon Mexico’s al ready depleteede feinances. ISSUE NOW IS: WILL THE REBELS GET THE ARMS Continued from page one. where a protocol finally might be drafted within a day or two. Both sides had presented to the mediators a plan for Mexico’s pacification. It was said to be practically the same in principle, contemplating establish ment of a new provisional government which would provide for an eaTly gen eral election for a permanent admin istration. Due Wednesday. While Huierta gunboats that hnd threatened a blockade of Tampico sailed back to Puerto Mexico today, interest continued as to whether the steamer Antitla, which cleared from New York carrying arms for Carranza, would deliver them. An official of the Ward line, which owns the Antilla, was quoUd as saying that the steamer was due to arrive at Tampico Wednesday "unless the United States government sends orders to her captain not to go into that port.’’ Before the Antilla nears Tampico it is believed the administration's at titude will be revealed.

Columbus, Ga. —Frank Allen, an electrician, whp had furnished the po lice with evidence in the murder of Sunday morning, when Roy Palmer was shot and killed, was found dead a stone’s throw from t'he scene of the Sunday murder. Five bullet holes in his head made identification difficult, it being at first thought that the mur dered man was Pasqual Alexander, a Greek suspect arrested, and then re leased after the Palmer murder. The Allen shooting took place at 4:30 o’clock Monday afternoon, many persons hearing the shots. The scene of the crime was near Linwood Cem etery, five blocks from the main busi ness street of Columbus. This makes the third murder in two weeks in this immediate section, which is within the city limits. Sat urday, May 23rd, William P. Hnds tnan was shot in the head and killed, robbery being the motive. At 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Roy Palmer, son of Detective James Palmer, was shot in the face and killed, the robbers secur ing $2.00 Governor Slaton wired an offer of S2OO for the arrest of the Hindsman murderer, and local awards aggre gating SSOO, have ben made for the arrest of the slayers of the last two victims. All three of the victims were killed with 32-caliber bullets. Bloodhounds have been unable to secure a trail so tar. The police are seeking three men, who were arrested Sunday in con nection with the investigation of the Palmer murder, and who later were released. FUNERAL 1.

THOSE AFRICAN WITCH DOCTORS Terrible Stories Are Being Told of Native Supersti tution—Outcome of Case Just Tried. London —Terrible stories are being told here of the native superstition surrounding the African witch doctors, as the outcome of a case which ap peared before a South African magis trate last week. A witch doctor who was greatly feared by the natives in the neighborhood of Pilgfims Rest, Cape Colony, was found guilty of mur der and sentenced to death, while two other natives, convicted of culpable homicide, were each sentenced to sev en years’ hard labor. The victim was a youth of 18 years. This dark affair arose out of a beer drink bout. Mashellwana, the witch doctor, threw bones in accordance wi.th the natives custom and declared that there would be no rain. Sixpence, the murdered boy, who knew something of the art, said the* Mashellwana was wrong, and pointed to a particular I bone which indicated rain. Resented Interference. Mashellwana resented this interfer ence, and later Sixpence was found in | a gorge stripped naked, terribly mu tiliated and in a dying condition. The evidence of various witnesses dis closed ghastly customs. One said that In the olden days a girl had to be paid to the father as compensation for the killing of a male. Others stated that i it was the custom of “doctors” in that part of the country to use portions of the human body as medicine. The rain doctors used portions of the body of a person of the tribe who had died. Even if it was their own child, the doctors cut up the corpse. They would go where children played on the veldt, put out a skin and frighten them. When the children ran away, the doctor would catch one and kill him for the purpose of using portions of his body.
