DEATH OF EDWARDS.
New Haven Mystery AS Far from
the Light As Ever.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Jan. 9-The
announcement Of the discovery of evil
dence pointing to the belief that Charles
\. Edwards Of New York. the victim
If tie mysterious murder at the Hitler
family homestead. was moi shot in the
bed where he was found dying is the
most interesting development In the
case.
il is now little doubted that the body
was placed in the guest chamber bed
after tie shooting. and the detectives
are working on the theory that the man
was shot while standing or in some
other position where the blood from
the wound in the left side of the head
would fall upon his foot.
Two bullets have been found imbed-
ded in one Of the walls Of the guest
chamber.
1t is said that Judge Charles a. Hi
Ter was chloroformed on the night Of
the murder and for that reason did not
hear the shot that killed Edwards.
Coroner Mix examined Judge Hitler
for several hours concerning his use of
tobacco and his conduct on the night
of the tragedy.
The search for the pistol with which
the crime was committed still goes on.
1t is understood that two headquar-
ters detectives have been assigned to
the Hitler homestead and that until
the inquest is completed Charles a.
Hitler will be under as close a guard
as is his brother MaXcy.
A report is in circulation that the
orone will report that Charles A. Ed
wards was murdered, but that the evi.
dence in hand does not show beyond
doubt who killed him.

Peter Latham of England Beaten Q
Rackets by George Standing.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-George Stan
ing lowered the colors of Peter L
than of England in a championsh
racket match in decisive fashion o
the courts of the Racket and Tenn
club here. The score was 15-5, ID
and 1910. They played for the Anne
lean championship, as Latham was u
willing to battle for his worlds tit
on such short notice.
Although Latham has enjoyed tn
title of champion racket player of til
world for eighteen years. he took h,
defeat philosophically, with a word o.
explanation to the effect that a maj
cannot change from court tennis L
rackets, or vice versa. and do himself
justice. Latham came to this country
a couple of weeks ago. the attraction
being a fiattering offer from the Racke'
and Tennis club for a series of match
es with Standing and others at botl
rackets and court tennis.
The men played for a purse which
exceeded $1,000. and both appeared il
good fettle after their brief sojourn a
Atlantic City. This is Latham's sec
ond visit to the United States, and TIN
reverse marks his first defeat in a sin
gle handed racket match on this sid'

TO STAND FOR
PEACE OR WAR
Moroccan Conference May Bring
Clash of Arms France and
Germany Obstinate.

ION, Jan. San official state
published here says that Ger
not only will demand that all
kwers shall take part III the execu-
( reforms in Morocco, but that
work of watching the frontier Shall
divided among them. This news
Lies the fears expressed by an Off
I of the foreign office that the Ger
IN delegates might insist on regula-
ms clashing with what France con
cred her special privileges-for in
stAnce, the policing of the frontier.
Or Germany persists in this attitude
in The conference it is believed a most
serioAs situation will arise, as France
is cert&n to resist and Great Britain

r~itation which will require all the eff
forts OF the delegates to remove, and
in this task it expects the support of
the United States, Spain and Italy.
The French delegates are preparing
to start for Algeciras, and there is
evidence of the greatest firmness in
their attitude in unfolding the French
position, the essential feature of which
is that France, through her geograph-
ical proximity to Morocco, which Is
analogous to that of the position of
the United States toward Cuba, and
through her vast Algerian borders, is
justly entitled to have a special and
privileged position in Morocco.
Germany, while yielding much, has
never clearly yielded the claim of
France to a special position in Moroc-
20. This is the vital issue, and the
minor questions regarding police, Gus
toms, finance and c~ontraband can be
adjusted once it is definitely settled
whether France has or has not a spe-
cha land privileged position in Morocco.
If the French position is upheld the
conference, it is expected, will charge
France with the police, customs and
other duties. Against this Germany
will seek to secure international con-
troll Of the police, the customs and 9th
er matters, thus giving all nations, in
Guiding Germany, the same status in
Morocco as that of France.
Germany, following the action of the
United States and Great Britain, is
sending a squadron to Algeciras.
France thus far has not ordered Il
squadron to the neighborhood of the
conference. Three British squadrons,
comprising the channel, home and
cruiser squadrons, have their rendez-
vous in Cadiz bay, neal Algecirns
