AMERICA MAKES STRONG
PROTEST TO MEXICO
Believes Sentence Imposed on Man
Who Murdered United States
Citizens Is Inadequate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Through
the American ambassador 10 Mexico,
General Powell Clayton, the State De-
partmcnt has addressed a vigorous pro-
test to the Mexican Government against
the sentence imposed by the local court
upon Hermalao Torres, local Judge of
the district of Fuerte, for his connec-
tion with the murder at Aguas Caliente
de Baca on July 19 last Of Clarence Wait
and Edward B. Latimer, two American
citizens. Torres, who, according to re-
ports received at the State Depart
ment. was the chief instigator of the
crime, received a sentence of ten
months Imprisonment and small fine,
which sentence this Government deems
wholly inadequate.
1t is charged by foreign residents of
the Fuerte district that the court
shielded Torres at his trial and that
Torres had threatened other foreigners.
Led by David Gibson, formerly a resi-
dent Of Chicago. the foreigners have
prepared a detailed statement, which

MORE MONEY is NEEDED
FOR MCKINLEY MEMORIAL
Fifty Thousand Additional Required
to Carry Out the Plans
as PreDared.


NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The national
trustees of the Mckinley Memorial AS
sociation, who have in their charge the
erection of the Mckinley monument IN
Canton, Ohio, met here to-day and
viewed the design presented by the Of
ficial architect, H. Van Buren, Nc
Gonigle. At the close of the meeting
ii was stated that the sum needed had
not been raised and that changes which
may be necessary will be made for fin
ancial rather than artistic reasons.
The drawings are said to show a
massive structure unlike either the
Grant monument in New York or the
Garfield monument in Cleveland. The
site for the monument on the top OF a
hill renders a beautiful approach pos
sible and the opportunities offered gave
the architect an idea which it is said
would require more money than the
trustees have in hand They have now
about $3.50, 900 and need about $50, 900
more to carry out the plans as they
wish. The trustees, after a long dis
cussion, during which they endeavored
10 plan changes in the design to enable
their means to cover the expenses and
not result in the added expenditures
that marked the building of the Grant
monument. appointed a committee to
confer with the architect regarding the
changes which they will report to the
trustees. The members of the commit
tee say that they are anxious to be able
to start work on the monument next
spring.

after months of endeavor, had been
unsuccessful in locating j. Morgan
Smith, who. it is claimed. purchased
the revolver with which Young was

would be brought forward by the de-
fense at the proper time. Later in
the day Miss Patterson's counsel,
Levy. said the defense had no lnten-
tiop of producing Smith.
IF the prosecution wants Smith
as a witness they have got to find
him. We are having our own troubles
with the defense and are not going out
OF our way to help the people supply

Levy said that he did not know

would he take any pains to discover
their whereabouts.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Several un-

Supreme Court to-day il the trial OF
Nan" Patterson for the alleged muir
der of Caesar Young. During the day
a skeleton and two pieces of skin from
Young's second finger were produced in
court by the prosecution. The skeleton
was shown in order that the course OF
the bullet that killed Young might be
traced. The State, it is understood ex-
poets to use the pieces of skin in refut-
ing the suicide theory.
The introduction of these exhibits
caused a sensation in the courtroom,
and for a time Miss Patterson seemed
on the verge of collapse. The court
room was crowded when the trial was
resumed and the corridors of the build
ing were thronged.
William Stemm Jr., the young man
who directed Michaels, the cab driver,
to the hospital. was the star witness Oh
the day He was standing on the cor
ner of West Broadway and York street
and heard the revolver shot just atter
the cab had passed him. He was start
led and looked UP the street quickly
trying to locate the spot from when
the shot was fired. There was no one
on the opposite side Of the street, ana
he concluded that the shot must nave
been fired in the cab. which was about
twelve feet away and moving rather
slowly. AS the cab swung around 10
the drug store he followed and saw the
driver talking with the druggist. In
the cab he saw a man and woman
the man lying in the woman's lap
WOMAN WAS FRIGHTENED.
"The driver seemed to be all tangled
up." said Stemm, and l rode on the
step of the cab to the hospital. When
we reached the hospital l helped a po-
liceman carry the man in and then
helped the woman to alight She was
frightened and pale and looked as IL
she wanted to cry but could not.
In reply to questions by Levy the
witness said that about eight or nine
minutes elapsed from the time ne
heard the shot until the cab reached
the drug store. Traffic both ways
prevented the cab getting there
sooner.
Levy had one of the jurors hold a
watch while the witness estimated one
minute of time, marking the begin
ming and ending by clapping his hands.
The Jurors watch showed that only
six seconds elapsed between the two
claps.
Stemm said there were several men
around the cab as it stood near the
drug store, but he could not recall
seeing a red-haired young man re-
ferred to by Levy. He first told OF MS
connection with the tragedy the fol-
lowing Saturday. He had heard that
