MIX LEFT A NOTE
ON THE AFTERDECk.
In 1t Announced His Intention of
Jumping Overheard.

Calais, France, Nov 15.-No doubt
is now entertained that Edgar w.
Mix, the American engineer and aer-
oanut, committed suicide by jumping
from a mail boat during the passage
from Dover to Calais Sunday night.
Mr.. Mix's secretary, Pierre Hablizig.
arrived here tonight and had no hes
itation in identifying as Mixs the
handwriting on the letter addressed
to the captain of the steamer.
Ir this letter Mr.. Mix expressed his
intention of jumping overheard. The
two letters mentioned in the note to
the captain were duly mailed as re-
quested, hut The captain has no exact
recollections If the addresses. He be-
EeveS that one of them was addressed
to a firm of lawyers in London, and
the other to some one in New York.
1t was when the steamer was a lit
tie more than half way across the
channel that the boatswain in going
the rounds, observed an oVercoat fy-
ing on the afterdeck close to the
steering gear. 1t was placed in such
a. manner as to attract attention. Co
ing nearer, the boatSwain perceived
visiting card pinned to the garment.
Startled by his discovery, he hurried
with the ccat to the captain, Who
searched the pockets and found, in ad-
dftion to the letters mentioned, sever
al photographs. The sangplank men
closely scrutinized each male passen-
ger as he landed at Calais, but no one
resembling the photographs went
ashore.
The captain then gathered the crew
and one of the sailors said he saw a
passenger corresponding to the por-
trait shown, in the act of changing
nat for cap when the steamer was
about half way over. This is the last
trace of Mr.. Mix, for his hat was found
in the smoking room. 1t is believed
that he must have slipped in and
placed it on a chair, gone thence to
the stern, taken off his cot and cap.
and jumped.

DOUBT HIS SUICIDE.
State That He Had Bitter Enemies
Among Foreign Aeronauts.

Lynn. Mass. Nov. 15.-Not yet con-
vineed that their brother, Edgar w.
Mix, was a suicide. in spite of the let
ter which he is said to have left, Mrs.
Henry r. French and Mrs. Jessie Hol-
der, both of this city, have cabled TO
Paris asking for full investigation of
his disappearance from an English
channel steamer
Mrs. French said:
Il am sure that he never committed
suicide. He was not of a morose dis
position or the type of man who would
end his life. His business and bal
loon career have given him no cause
for worry. 1 can imagine nothing
which would lead him to such act
1 have heard him say frequently. how
ever, that he had some bitter enemies
among foreign aeronauts-"
The sisters said they had been in
constant communication with Mr.. Mix
and that he appeared to be perfectly
