HORACE MARVIN DEAD
Body Found In Marsh Less Than
a Mile From Home.

Suicide Of Ernest w. Huffcut - Irish

nounced-Otto Kelsey Reconfirmed,
New Santo Domingo Treaty.
The body of Horace Marvin, Jr.,
which was found on Saturday lying in
a pool of water on the marshes less
than half a mile from where he was
last seen playing on March 4, was bur-
led Sunday in BAY Meadow Lawn on
the Marvin farm.
All the child's playmates and fully
a thousand neighbors attended the
funeral services.
Prior to the funeral "A men, compos-
ing Coroner Calloway's jury, officially
identified the body and authorized an
autopsy. The jury was then dis
charged to reconvene at the call of the
coroner.
There is much to make it appear
that the boy wandered away and fell
exhausted into the pool where his body
was found.
Drs. James Wilson, Wilbur Il. Bur-
ton, William f. Hoey and Alfred Rob
yon. the latter a bacteriologist, are
trying to determine the cause of death
for the coroner, and have decided that
the boy did not drown.
The stomach, which was removed
by DR.. Robyon, was empty and the
child may either have been frozen or
starved to death.
Many of the jurymen and detectives
are of the opinion that he wandered
around his fathers farm and in his ef-
forts to get back home over the frozen
marshes became exhausted, fell into
the pool and died of exhaustion and
privation. A few still believe that the
! little fellow was murdered.
The detectives are perplexed at the
discovery of the body so near to the
Marvin home and at spot which they
had walkel over again and again. To
have reached the place where the body
was found the boy must have walked
across frozen and snow covered fields
in the face OF a driving wind and then
climbed two high embankments be
sides crawling through a barbed wire
fence.

Holds UP Train to XIII Man.

Savannah, May Henry Manigault
held up a passenger train soon after
it left the station here to kill James
Lewis, who, Manigault says. robbed
him of $50 in card game. He had ac-
cused Lewis of cheating and the lat
ter fed, Manigault learned Lewis had
boarded the train, and as it was going
slowly through the yards sent bul-
let from his rifle through the cab Of
the locomotive, compelling the engi'
neer to stop. Lewis leaped to the
ground and attempted to run, but was
shot down. Manigault rushed to the

RELATIONS SEVERED.
Mexico and Guatemala Are on
the Verge of War.
American Charge In Guatemalan Cap.
ital Has Been Instructed to Look
After Mexican lnterests-F Formality
of Issuing Passports For Withdrawal
of Ministers Will Require Time.

Washington, May Although tele-
graphic advices have not reached
Washington that diplomatic relations
between Guatemala and Mexico have
been severed, officials here do not
doubt that Mexico has taken action
which will result in giving the Guate-
malan minister in Mexico passports
for his withdrawal.
The Mexican minister in Guatemala
is now preparing to return home and
the American charge, Philip Brown,
secretary to the legation, has been in
structed to look after Mexican inter-
ests in the Guatemalan capital upon
the departure of the Mexican minis
ter.
Ambassador Creel of Mexico has
been in hourly anticipation Of mes
sage from his government that the
break had occurred lie was advised
that Guatemala denied the request for
the surrender of General Jose Lima,
who is suspected of being implicated
in the murder in Mexico of eX-Presi-
dent Barillas of Guatemala, and that
there was no alternative but for Mex
leo to consider the refusal an insult
necessitating discontinuance of rela-
tions between the two countries.
The state department had numerous
messages from Minister Lee, who is
about to leave Guatemala for the
United States on account of illness,
and from Secretary Brown. These
dispatches confirmed the advices re-
celved from diplomatic representatives
of the two countries in Washington,
that there was no possibility of Guate-
mala and Mexico settling the contro-
versy over the demand for the eXtradi-
tion of General Lima.
The formality of issuing passports
for the withdrawal of each minister
will probably require a day or two 1t
is not known here what dlplomatist
will attend to the interests Of Guate-
mala in Mexico, but it is not impossi'
BILE that the United States will per.
form this service.
The severance of diplomatic rela-
tions does not mean war, but the fact
that the countries adjoin causes great
anxiety There might be at any time
invasions from one or the other of the
countries into territory Of the enemy
by irresponsible bands and such
trouble might easily end in declara

Secretary Bacon about the situation.
He said he hoped there would be a set

Guatemala neither country had the

treaty is intended to cover the sur

expected only as an act of courtesy.
DR.. Herrarte received a cable mes

Municipal Ownership Barred.

Five justices of the state supreme
court at Lansing, Michigan, consti-
tutipg a majority, decided that the
city of Detroit cannot build street rail
way tracks to be leased to an operat-
ing corporation. The council of that
city in 1905 ordered the department
of public works to lay tracks on sew
eral streets and appropriated $4,000
to begin work A question as to the
legality of this action was raised and
an Injunction was sought to restrain
the city. The Wayne circuit court
granted the writ sustaining the asser-
ton that the city had not the right to
do the work and the case was carried
to the supreme court.

Capitol, where the dean," as he was
affectionately called, was widely
known and beloved; but the indica-
tions are that it will not interfere ma
terially with the legislative program
as was feared Saturday.
Dean Huffcut was more minutely
familiar than any other person with
the details of the public utilities bill
and it was at first thought that it
might be some days before the mat
ter could be fully adjusted again. But
Governor Hughes himself and Senator
Page and Assemblyman Merritt have
studied the bill so closely that the
loss of Dean Huffcut at this time is not
a fatal matter so far as this single
item is concerned. The amended bill
is expected to be reported in the as
sembly early this week.
