BISHOP OF ATLANTA TO
Be ELECTED BY COUNCIL
Diocese of Atlanta, Episcopal,
to Begin Extra Session
Here Tuesday

The council of the diocese of Allan
ia. of the Episcopal church, will begin
its extra session in Atlanta Tuesday.
when it will assemble at st. Philips
cathedral
This meeting was made necessary by
Rev. R. S. COPELAND, of New Orleans,
who declined to accept the position Of
fered him as successor to the bishop
of Atlanta, the hate Bishop c. X. Mel
son. The council assembled in Macon
in the spring. when Dr. Coupland was
elected. 1t meets here to elect another
as a successor to the late Bishop Nell
son.
Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, of Tenes-
see. will preach Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock TO the council in St. Phil
lips cathedral
There are about 100 delegates TO the
diocesan council, which must elect the
successor 10 the late Bishop Nelson.
Every parish has three lay delegates to
the council. and every organized mis-
sion has one. Each lay delegate has
the power of casting one-third of a
vote. Every minister in recognized
standing in the diocese has a vote. The
council is thus divided into two bodies
when voting, one of laymen and one Of
ministers
1t is not known just when the coun-
ell will act on the matter of electing
the new bishop. since a day or two
may be taken up with discussion.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
THIS DOUBLE SUICIDE
Man Believed to Be Naval
officer and Woman Dead
in Hotel

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Two
problems confront the police today in
the deaths of "Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Alexander" in a room of the Bellevue
Stratford hotel yesterday. The man is
supposed to be naval officer. The girl
is supposed to be Louise Jones, Of New
York.
The coroner's jury is completing an
autopsy to determine whether the man
really died of natural causes or died
of poison They know that the woman
died of a bullet wound through the
head, but there is still shred Of doubt
as to whether she killed herself.
The mystery is still further compli-
Gated by the note found beside the
woman's body This read, Notify Lieu
tenant R. B.~Colton, United States cable
ship Joseph Henry, Norfolk, Va"
Until word is received from the Nor
folk police it will not be known what
bearing this note has on the tragedy.
All that is really known definitely is
that the couple went to the hotel Sat-
urday afternoon. They registered and
went to their suite. Yesterday after
noon the woman asked maid for a bath
robe. The maid raped at the door on
four separate occasions. but received no
answer. Then the door was forced
Alexander was found face down on
the bed. His face was contorted and
his hands clutched the sheets. Wet
handkerchiefs by his head led to the
belief that the woman had tried to re-
vive him.
1t is supposed that the woman then
became desperate. She took the mans
revolver from his grip, lay down on
a couch and when found was dead with
bullet through her head.
Besides the note there was but. one
other clue. That was an envelope adj
dressed to Alexander Scholz, 104 West
One Hundred and Twenty-third street.
New York. Scholz says he believed the
woman is Louise Jones. 1t was also
learned that Alexander and Miss Jones
we're planning to be marrisd in this city.
Search of the marriage records failed
to reveal that a license had been issued
to them.

MARKED ACTIVITY IS
NOTICED ON BRITISH
AND FRENCH FRONTS
London Reports Many Raids
by British in Nearly Every
Important Sector From Bel
GUM to St. Quentin

NEW YORK, June 25.-(By Foreign
Cables from European Capitals. 1.-The
British front in northern France Is
again developing signs of marked ac-
tivity Today's official statement from
London details an unusual number of
raids carried out by the British in vir-.
tually every important sector from
Belgium to st. Quentin.
Operations by raiding forces on this
scale are usually the prelude to often
sive movements of moment. General
Haig has not struck a hard blow on
any extended front since the week Of
the Messines fighting when the famous
ridge on the Belgian front was cap
Their smashing operations in this sec
tor.
Incident to last nights raids were
local operations that gained ground for
the British. Thus some progress by
them below Lens and northwest OF
warneton in the Messines area Is re-
ported
There is a momentary lull in the In
fantry in re-establishing in its entirety
their line in the Vauxaillon area, don't
ed by the crown princes forces IN a
sudden drive on narrow front last
week. Further fighting is in prospect
to the east of this sector in the Skin
mishing for position on the part OF the
two armies, each anxious to gain domi-
mating points for either offensive or
defensive purposes. In this connection
the artillery activity reported today
along various portions of the Chemin-
des-Dames plateau is significant
