AN ARIZONA MINING MAN
Sued by a Boston Actress for Breach
Of Promise.

Boston, Mass. Feb. IA Sherlock
Holmes mystery has developed here in
connection with a $25,OOO breach of
promise suit brought by Veva DeFcrd,
an actress in the Runaway" company.
against L. Gordon Hager, a Boston
club man and mining promoter who
brought cut the Arizona Mining and
Milling company. Hager has disap-
peared, and was last heard from at
Savannah, where he wrote to Miss

engagement. Since then he has not
been heard from by any of his friends
here.
Hager met Miss DeFord, whose real
name is Genevieve Sullivan, when she
was playing with the ''King's Carni-
var company in Boston. She says he
became infatuated with her and asked
her to marry him, telling her he had
a fortune in the Arizona Mining and
Milling company, after following her
from town to town across the cOnti-

The Matter of Compliance With Seore.
tary Hays Note.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 12.-Russia is
evidently net prepared at this time to
give an answer to Secretary Hays note
on the subject of the neutrality of
China, previously stated in these dis
patches. Hostilities having begun the
military authorities must be consulted,
and the cZar will doubtless refer the
matter to Viceroy Alexief, if he has
not already done So Russia, it can be
said. is certainly as anxious as the
United States that the war cause no
risings or disorders in China; indeed,
the attitude of China is already caus-
Ing some misgivings here, as she has
not declared her neutrality.
tt is thought here that the action Of
the japanese i'm flooding Pekin with
posters relating their victories is a part
of well laid campaign projected from
the beginning to down Russia's pres
tige in China for the purpose of ulti-
mately effecting a union of the two
races, which would make the "yellcw

THE NEW BALTIMORE

Right.

Baltimore. Feb. Fit was an
nounced today by the mayor and COM
mittee of public safety that no build
ing permits will be issued until a plan
is adopted for reallgning certain thor
Cughfares whose crookedness and mar
nowness have long constituted blem-
ish as well as an embarrassment to
municipal growth. The mayor and
committee of safety are resolved that
shells of buildings shall not BE- run up
between fireprocf structures as in past
tc serve as a standing invitation to
flames.
The business situation appeared
brighter today than at any time since
the great catastrophe. The regular
transaction of the business of the
chamber of commerce, including dis
plays of southern grain, hay, straw
and mill feed, and the usual calls and
posting of out Of town markets, to-
gether with the receipt OF grain by the
elevators and payment of all checks
by banks, were events that established
confidence throughout the business
community.

A Verdict Of Not Guilty Found by Di-

Washington, Feb. 12-Before the
court adjourned in the postal trial to-
day Mrs. Martha ]. Lorenz was a
free woman. Justice Pritchard decided
that there was not sufficient evidence
to hold her, and he. directed the jury

simply smiled at the announcement,
and was warmly congratulated by her
counsel and friends. Judge Pritchard's s
decision came Immediately after all the
evidence was in.
Several witnesses in re5uttal testi-
fed, one of whom was John r. Tules,
the stenographer, who took down the
questions and replies at the time
Machen was under investigation in

England. France and Russia
Withhold Acceptance
A BRITISH INQUIRY
Which Is Regarded as AbSurd-RusSia
Would be Glad to Keep the War Out
of China, but Is Not Certain Of Being
Able to Do So.

Washington, Feb. 12-"To Russia
and Japan the Washington govern
ment suggests the propriety of limit
ing the hosuities within as small an
area as possible and of respecting the
neutrality and administrative entity
of China, that China may be free from
disturbances and the foreign interests
there from menace"
This the Associated Press is enabled
to give as the substance of the note
addressed by Secretary Hay on Feb
ruary 10 to the st. Petersburg and To-
kio governments. on February ), IN
a note to Germany, Great Britain and
France, Mr.. Hay invited those powers
concurrently to address Russia and ia
pan with the same suggestion, and on
February II this invitation was extend
ed to Italy, Austria Hungary, the
Belgium
Germany was the first to respond
with Il prompt acceptance of the IN
vitation and promise that she imme-
diately would address the two combat
ants. Great Britain was heard from
next, expressing adherence to the prin-
ciple laid dCwn in the note, but with
holding formal acceptance pending an
answer to an inquiry as to whether the
administrative entity of China in
volved Manchuria. Japan was heard
from quickly with an answer that she
would act readily on the suggestion of
the United States if a similar promise
could be obtained from Russia
Italy, Austria-Hungary and the
Netherlands expressed sympathy with
the idea, and promised TO answer after
consultation with the other powers.
There is. reason to believe that Spain
and Belgium viii also accept the invi-
tation. Russia thus far has been 81
lent, and the attitude of France is one
cf hesitation.
This is the situation tonight. Mean
timefit is learned that Germany is ad-
dressing the Combatants with a note
in substance the same as that OF Sec
retary Hay. Regarding the attitude o1
Great Britain il has been a matter OF
some regret to officials here that as
the principle is one for which the Brit
ish government has stcCd in the past
so stalwartly it holds up its acceptance
of the invitation until it has learned
further details.
ON the highest authority il can be
stated that there are 10 details TO tho
secretary's note such as would leave II
unreasonable 20 hope fer concurrent
action by so many powers upon any
but the most general lines. That the
officials of the Washington government
could have had in mind the neutrality
Of Manchuria is declared on the face
of it to be absurd. Manchuria is rec
ognized by this government, with Ko-
rea, TO be the natural theatre of war
and for this reason TO suggestion was
made that hostilities be restricted as
to it.

The result of the attack is not yet

They stopped fighting about 1 O'Clock

Osler the Baltimore physician in at

patients pulse was much stronger and
had fallen nearly twenty points.
Miss Mary Phelps, the senator's

Then you have hope, doctor?"
Hope" the doctor replied, "of
course there is hope: when man rail-
lies from a sinking spell such as the
senator had this afternoon and shows
such strength afterward there is The
best ground for hope"
The first information from the sick
room in the Arlington hotel today
showed the fever to have attained the
highest point yet reached, and the doc
tors looked for the senator's tempera-

lowing forty-eisht hours but it un-
