Bishop Weed Appointed Press Report
er by Jacksonville Relief Committee

Jacksonville, Fla, May 16.-At the
morning meeting Of the relief associa-
ton it was deemed necessary, owing to
the conflicting reports sent through
the country by individuals, which tend
to confuse the public mind, to create
an authoritative channel through which
must be sent all information relative to
our suffering people and a press report
er was appointed in the person of Ed
win G.. Weed. bishop of the diocese of
Florida. and the Associated Press as
the. channel of transmission of the ap-
peals and statements of the needs of
the people. So the public is informed
that all statements as to our needs, all
requests and all proclamations, until
signed by Bishop Weed, or sent by his
direct authority, are MOI to be given
credence by the people and in no way
voice the organization that is charged
with the relief work of Jacksonville.

Still Shrouded In Mvstery-A Woman
Seen Coming from the Room

Washington, May. 16.-The mystery
surrounding the murder of James s.
Ayers. the young census office clerk
who was found dead in his room at the
Kenmore in this city with a bullet in
his body. claims the attention of al
most the entire local detective corps.
One of the detectives asserted today
that it would be cleared up In a day
or two.
The principal clew is found in the
statement of Thomas M. Baker, who
saw a woman descend the fire escape Of
the hotel after three shots were fired.
A second witness to the descent of a
woman on the fire escape was found to-
day in Willie Wolfe, a ~14-year-old boy
who lives opposite the hotel. He says
he heard three pistol shots and imme-
diately went to the window whence he
saw a woman clad in a dark skirt enter
the escape from the window of young
Ayers room and after descending to
the second story disappeared through
the parlor window. The story cOrrobo-
rates that of Mr.. Baker.
The woman who is described as of
small statue and with dark hair de-
scende slowly and evidently was
afraid of falling. By passing through
the parlor she might easily have gained
access to the hall and thence passed
unnoticed to any part of the building.
The appearance of the body suggest
I'd the possibility of a desperate Strug-
gle and also that another man may
haven taken a part in it. The coroner
is fully satisfied that the wounds were
not self inflicted.
