slider Shooting an "Unfrienoly
and Hostile Act"

Washington. May 1.-THE United
States yesterday demanded Of the
Huerta government news OF the
fate OF Private Parks. the American
infantryman who strayed into Mexi.
can lines nea- Vera Cruz. declaring
that unless information about him
was given Immediately tho American
government would consider that ian
unfriendly and hostile act had been
committed in violation Of the under
standing for a cessation OF hos,ilities
pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan. Il was learned last night,
drafted a strong communication. az
te- receiving word from the Brazilian
minis er in Mexico City that Parks
had been executed" No mention
was made IN the ministers repor; OF
whether he was shot as a Spy after a
court-martial or whether his body
was burned. as has persistently been
reported 20 Gen Funston. The Amer
lean government cabled the Brizilian
minister TO norm the Huerta govern

United States IN the matter. direct
ing him to make vigorous representa-
tons concerning the incident. The
note asked the ministe. to protes. to

whereabouts was in Itself an un.
friendly attitude. and that II the sold
Ter has been executed. as has been re-
ported. such execution OF a man who
came into the Mexican lines In full
uniform was contrary TO military pro-
cedure of civilized nations and an act
OF hostility
The three South American media
tors had received no communication
from tho United States abou, the
Parks incident, and persons in the
confidence OF the president said the
affair probably would not interfere
with the beginning Of the mediation
proceedings. thought II was recalled
in many quarters that the United
States accepted the tender of good of
fees with the reservation that no
hostile acts toward Americans
should occur while the negotiations
were in progress.
The receipt OF word by the British
embassy from Sir Lionel Garden,
British minister of Mexico City. that

consul, was on his way by rail from
Saltillo to Mexico City, brought the
fist news about Silliman IN several
days, considerably relieved tho anx-
iety that had been felt by officials
The British vice-consul at Saltillo
telegraphed the information to Sir
Lionel Garden.

HUSBAND OF CHILD
WIFE DEAD BY
HIS OWN HAND
Separation Caused Leroy Hayes
10 Commit Suicide
LIVED IN sHtLBuRSE FALLS
Young Brides Parents Interferred
and Youth Sent Charge Of Shot
Through His Breast

Leroy Hayes OF Shelburne Falls, 20
years old. died yesterday morning at
the North Adams hospital as a re-
suit of shooting himself Thursday az
ternoon with a shotgun because rela-
tives OF his l3-year-old bride. TO
whom he had been married only a
week. had separated them. The
shooting occurred in front OF the
home OF the parents OF his wife in
Rowe. following the refusal of the
father to allow him TO see his young
bride.
Hayes was employed in cutlery
works at Shelburne Falls and for
some time had been keeping com.
pany with Jessie Carroll. 1S-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles p.
Carroll Of Rowe. A week ago the
couple went to Vernon, VT. near Brat
tleboro. and we're married. They re-
turned home, the parents of both APP
parently being satisfied with the
marriage. Wednesday. an older sist-
er Of the girl came from Amherst,
however, and her husband. it is UNI
de-stood, had Hayes arrested on
charge of abduction, based on the
fact that the girl was below the age
OF consent. In the Greenfield district
court, Hayes case was continued I'M
I'll Monday under $500 bail which
was furnished by bis parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Patrick Hayes.
Following a sleepless night, about
3 o'clock Thursday morning the b..
disappeared and one of his b-others
went in search of him. Hayes caught
a freight train for Rowe and at about
2.30 o'clock went TO he home of his
brides parents. where she had been
taken following his arrest. He de-
manded to see his wife, but permits
sion was denied him. He then bor-
rowed a gun and. standing directly
in font of the Carroll home. placed
the muzzle o his right shoulder and
pulled the trigger before his father
in-law or childwife, who were looking
on, could stop him. The bullet tore
through the lung tissues and embedd-
ed itself in his back. His wife went
out and threw herself on his neck.
but he was unconscious. She be-
came hysterical and required the at
tention OF physician.
The young man. in dying con-
dition, was taken on the first train to
North Adams, his mother and broth
err accompanying him. The bullet
was removed by three surgeons, but
he died thirteen hours after the shoot
ing occurred.
