Of local Interest.

The many friends of Captain L. w Mix in Arizona and Sonora will read with interest the follow ing two items culled from the Mex ican Herald dated July 16th.
 The largest single block of rein forced concrete ever installed in the republic of Mexico was placed yesterday by Captain L. W. Mix in the wall at the south side of the penitentiary. This block con tained ninety-six cubic meters.

 About 4:S0 o'clock last Thursday morning. while Barosse wns mapping, and the sailor on watch had temporarily gone below, Francis Bailey seized the dory lying alongside the stern of the vessel and made good his escape to the woods, where it is said there Is little chance of his capture.
 If Beery had taken the advice ot American Consul Albert W. Brickwood, Jr, to whose energetic work the extra dition is largely due, such an unfortun- ate occurrence would never have taken place, and the leader would have been forced to stand trial like the others. But Beery apparently ignored the urgent requests of the Consul to put on special guards to safely keep such valuable prisoners As a result Bailey availed himself of the first opportunity and got away easily.
 Consul Brickwood has almost made himself penniless by using the large amount of money he has out of his own pocket for cablegrams and other ex- penses, and to his credit it is that the first alleged criminals have been brought back from what was regarded as safe harbor for thieves. Under such circum- stances MT. Brickwood must feel no little outdone, after he had safely roped in the game" to see the principal get away.

CASE OF BANKERS
IS GIVEN TO JURY
Fate of Charles w. Morse and
Alfred H. Curtis in Hands
OF TaIesmen

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The cases of
Charles W. Morse and Alfred H Curtis,
jointly indicted and on trial in the
United States court here for violation
OF the banking laws in connection
with the suspension of the National
Bank Of North America, were given
10 the jury today and tonight the fate
Of the two defendants was still un-
decided.
At $50 o'clock the jury in, whose
n|nos the case had been placed FIVE
and half hours earlier retired for
the night, going TO their hotel and
sUspending their deliberations
Before leaving the case to the jury
Judge Hough outlined the evidence
and gave the IL men his final instrue-
tions. The vital question for the jury
TO decide. he said, was who owned the
stock used as collateral on the Whitney
loan. If the stock was the property
Of the bank it should have been in
cluded in the reports to the comptroller.
II, on the other hand, Morse owned
the stock, then the charge of misap-
preparation of the banks money must
be dismissed, as must also that of
conspiracy.
Judge Hough prefaced his charge
with criticism of the practices of
certain journals Of printing articles
commenting upon certain phases Of
public trials outside of the evidence
submitted II was TO protect the jury
against the influence such publications
might have on them that the jury was
kept in confinement. 1t Is the duty of
the court, Judge Hough declared, TO
point out that one of the plainest duties
of owners Of public journals is to alb
stain, pending any trial, from state

STAYS RICH MOTHER

New York Brokers' Secret Mar

Caused Quarrel

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-The revelation
by a son to his mother of secret mar
riage and parental refusal TO be recon-
ciled TO 1t is believed to have been the
impsl cause of a double tragedy in
a large uptown apartment house here

son, j. Nelson Veit, Wall street broker.
the circumstances of the affair indicat-
ing that the mother was shot by the
son and that the latter then took his
own life by inhaling Illuminating gas.
The bodies Were discovered today.
Mrs. Veit lay dead on her bed from bull
let wounds in her head and body, and
her son was found on the floor of the
bathroom in his mothers apartment
lifeless from asphyxiation. An aunt of
the suicide Miss Anna Veit discovered
the bodies when she sought to awaken
Mrs. Veit, in whose apartment she had
spent the night.
]. Nelson yeit, who was 27 years old,
went TO his mothers apartments last
night and dined with her and Miss
Anna yeit. Miss Veit said today that
Veit used the telephone to talk to some
one in the city during the evening. and
finally left to watch the election re-
turns. The two women talked together
for some time afterward and then re-
tired for the night to separate rooms.
Veit evidently returned to the apart
ment some time during the night, but
no one has been found who saw him
enter. Miss Veit slept undisturbed, and
the fact of the murder and suicide was
not learned until several hours after
the double tragedy had occurred
The police made the discovery today
that Veit. who was supposed to be sin
gle, was married secretly in October of
last year. His mother. who spent sew
eral months OF each year in Europe. had
recently returned from France, and the
coroner's theory is that her discovery
of her sons marriage precipitated a
quarrel between them. eliminating in
the tragedy.
Late today the police found Mrs. J..
Nelson Veit, widow of the dead man, in
another uptown apartment house, where
she had been living with Veit for a
month past. Mrs. Veit said that she
had not met her husbands mother and
did not know whether or not the moth
er was ever told of the marriage. Her
husband, she said, left early last night
and lelephoned TO her about 1890
o'clock that he would be home in half
an hour. She did not hear from him
again, she said.
The dead woman was the widow of
the late Felix yeit. wealthy broker
and senior member of the firm of yeit.

ago IN Wall street. After the fathers

management of the firm, but later went
into the brokerage business on his own
account.
