10000 MEN CALLED OUT
n. v. F|NDLEY
BADLY BURNED
TRIED TO PUT OUT FIRE ON HIS

N. w, Fndley. a prominent Bruins

night about $3.50 o'clock when his au-
tomobile caught afire in front of the
Phoenix grocery store on Norwich

Gasoline was being put into the car
from the tank in front of the store

ing his own life.
When Mr.. Findley was removed
from the swimming pool, almost every
thread on his body was gone, and it
is considered remarkable that he was
not burned to death before reaching
the water.
DR.. G. V. Cate was called from
his drug store nearby and immediate
attention was given Mr.. Findley,
whose hands, back and legs were Sc
verely scorched and it was reported
last night that it is not likely that
any serious results will follow except
probably the loss of a few weeks
time.
The city fire department was called
and Chief Harrison and his men ar
rived on the scene in time to prevent
the fire spreading and the damage to
the automobile was prevented from
amounting to very much.

NO AGREEMENT
BASED ON THE
WITHDRAWAL
SCOTT AND FUNSTON HELD
EXTENDED CONFERENCE
YESTERDAY WHICH MAY
BE LAST OF RELATIONS.

Ell PASO, Texas. May 2.-Major
Generals Scott and Funston held an
extended conference today over
amplifed instructions from Wash.
ington in which the administration
stated that no agreement was to be
reached based on the immediate
withdrawal of troops from Mexico.
Word was then despatched to Gen
eral Obregon and his officers, asking
for second conference
This conference probably will be
held today in El Paso and there were
indications that it would he the last
me Mexican conferees having be-
come acquainted through press dis
patches with the administration
position on withdrawal showed their
disappointment. There were intima-
tions that they might not further
pursue their request for withdrawal
a Mexican conferee said that even
though the request was not met at
TINS conference there was no reason
to fear that serious trouble would
follow.
The whole question of withdraw.

official, will then revert to Wash.

tween the state department and Mr..
Arredondo. the Mexican ambassador,

reasons from military standpoint
why the American soldiers should re-
tire to their own territory and this
information should be valuable in n

sion over the future"
The American generals were ready
today to submit detailed plans for
cooperation between the Carranza
and American forces in the pursuit
of Villa and his bandits, but it is un.
derstood that Gen. Obregon would
suggest that he did not feel disposed
to discuss that proposal because of
certain diplomatic phases, but would
acquaint the first chief with the sit
uation. Should the minister of war
take this position regarding the ques-
ton of cooperation, it was thought
that the conference would then be
ended and both sides would make
their reports to their respective gov
ernments. Gen. Funston believes the
American army is prepared to meet
any eventuality
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston were
busy until late hour last night de-

YESTERDAYS CITY
COURT WAS TAME
LITTLE BENEFIT TO THE ROADS;
MUCH FUN FOR THE AT
TORNEYS.

The second day of the May term of
city court was convened yesterday
morning with Judge D. w. Krauss pre-
siding, and number of interesting ne
gro cases were heard
One of the most interesting cases
was that of Rufus Hammond, colored,
porter at the Oglethorpe hotel. Rufus
is charged with stealing SIS from the
|Greek-American restaurant which has
since gone out Of business, and the ev-
idence of the prosecution indicates
that he was seen in the act while, on
the other hand, the night clerk at the
Oglethorpe alleges that the negro was
actually on duty at the hotel at the
time of the theft is reported to have
taken place. The jury went out on
the case early yesterday afternoon
and at O'Clock last night had not
made up a verdict. Judge Krauss dis
charged them for the night and will
call them together again today today
to make up decision. Rufus went to
sleep on the job last night and seemed
little worried over the case.
The jury was also discharged last
night in the case against Joe Brown.
colored, in which he is charged with
stabbing Ben Benton, also colored,
with a knife. The lawyers finished
arguing the case just at closing time
yesterday and the jury was given the
night to think over their decision.
Will Lawson, Charles Roberts Joe
Brinson, Fred Walston and Andrew
Gray, all colored, were charged with
fraudulently procuring goods on con
tract for services. The cases were all
nolle pressed.
Elias May, colored, was given the al.
tentative of paying $40 and costs or
working on the roads six months on
conviction of enticing away laborers
j. H. Johnson was charged with car.
rying pistol without license, and
the state took nolle pross of the
case.
A. c. Stebbins was found guilty of
assault and battery and extreme mer-
cy was recommended. Judge Krauss
has not yet pronounced the sentence.

Georglas new shrimp and fish laws

1t is generally acknowledged that the

GARMENT MAKERS
ANSWER THE ORDER
FOR GREAT STRIKE
ENCAMPMENT FOR
NATIONAL GUARD
GEN. j. VAN HOLT NASH SAYS
PROVISION WILL BE MADE.
PLACE NOT CHOSEN.

General ]. Van Holt Nash. adjutant
of the national guard of Georgia, has
set at rest all doubts as to .ne en-.
campment being provided all branches
of the national guard.
When questioned yesterday in St
vanunah as to the location of the en-
campment which the First regiment
of infantry would attend, Gen. Nash
stated that it had not yet been select
ed. I'VE have been delayed" he said
''by the army bill now before congress.
Until final action is taken on the
bill there are several things which we
will not be able to decide.
"On account of unsettled conditions
including the trouble with Mexico. it
may be that we will be able to hold
joint encampments as regular troops
may not be available. In this case
held. The field artillery encampment
lat Admission, Ala, which will be at
tended by the Georgia batteries, will
however, be held in conjunction with
a detachment from the regular field
artillery service"
When question as to how soon it
would be before the Georgia batteries
would receive the horses to be pro-
vided by the government. Gen. Nash
expressed the opinion that it would
be within the near future. He said
that he had yesterday inspected the
stabling facilities of the Chathams,
consisting of Batteries A and c of the
First battalion of field artillery, and
found such facilities satisfactory.

THE MILITIA
HAS CONTROL
OF ALL DUBLIN
BELIEVED THAT SlNN FEM
ERS HAVE HIDDEN ARMS
AND JOINED ClTlZENS--MIS-
LED is CLAIM.

DUBLIN, May l, (via London May
2)-Quiet reigns in the streets of
Dublin today. There was little traf-
fic and the thoroughfares were still
strongly held by the military forces
of the government.
only few sniping shots were heard
Sunday night. 1t is assumed that the
Sim Feiners still at liberty have hid
den their arms after using all their
ammunition and rejoined the ranks of
peaceable citizens.
shortage of food has caused much
distress in several districts, but with
the resumption of almost normal con
ditions the committee charged with
looking after the needs of the popu-
lation expects soon to relieve those in
want
1t is still impossible to get from
one part of Dublin to another with
out a military permit No one is al
lowed to pass the bridges, and mer-
chants residing in the suburbs are in
most cases quite ignorant of what
mas hapuened to their shops, facto-
ries and warehouses in the city. Busi-
ness men, who are unable to get
money from their banks in the city.
which are closed, have scraped to-
gether all the funds they can borrow
from suburban banks to pay their
employees.
/ I'VE were not led badly-we were
mlsled, said captured rebel officer
last night. His remark; uttered al
most in tone of remorse at having
participated in the Sim Fein revolt,
was made as he was stepping aboard
la steamer at North Wall quay to be
taken to England He was one of
the party of 489 prisoners captured
Sunday.
The military authorities decided to
send the prisoners to England for
trial in order that they may be away
from the prejudice and anger of per-
sons at places where they revolted
killing civilians and soldiers.
When the correspondent interro-
gated the prisoners. he gathered they
had no idea, when they were ordered
to assemble at various centers on
Easter Monday that the leaders had
ordained that day for the declaration
Iof the Irish republic. They reached
the meeting places with rations for
only eight hours, in the belief that
they were merely to carry out prac-
tlce maneuvers as they had done on
|Other occasions
I'VE found large supplies of am
munition piled at the meeting place"
said one of the prisoners, "and re-
ceived strict orders to defend our DO
sitions. We were told it would be
necessary to hold out only to May
y, when foreign troops would land
and join us in fighting the British"
The prisoners included representa-
tives of all parts of Ireland. For the
most part they were men of good
physique.
