Roosevelts in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, May 2.-There was a
liberal display of the American col
ors to welcome the arrival of former
President Roosevelt and his family
in the Danish capital today. Much
regret is expressed on all sides that
the visit of the distinguished Ameri-
can cannot be prolonged several days.
This afternoon Colonel Roosevelt re-
ceived the American colony members
and other invited guests at the home
of Minister Egan. A luncheon with
the royal family at Christian VII.
Palace and a municipal banquet at
the city hall tonight are the chief
events of the entertainment program.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for the banquet, which will be
attended by several hundred of the
most prominent personages in Copen-
hagen.

USES ICE TO SAVE
HIS APPLES
FARMER IN MINNESOTA RE-
TARDS DEVELOPMENT OF HIS
GONE BY UNIQUE METHOD.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 2.-Lee
Brings, farmer who lives about a
mile north of Little Canada, near the
shores of Gervais lake, not only
saved his large crop of crabapples
from destruction following the late
freezing weather, but has probably
established a precedent by actually
pre- venting his trees from poisoning
until the winter weather is safely
past.
Brings, who has lived in Mime
sofa all his life and knows it's un-
certain proclivities, as spring ap-
preached, determined not to allow
lis apple trees to blossom until the
season was well advanced. There
fore, early in March he began haul
ing ice from Lake Gervais, which he
piled around the base of the trees,
of which he has Is.
The work was laborious, but he
stuck to his task until every tree
was surrounded by a layer of ice a
foot deep. Other farmers stopped
and gazed at what they thought was
very foolish trick, but Brings had
spent many winters and summers in
Minnesota, not to mention early
springs and he warned his neigh
bors that he would have chance to
laugh later.
Follows aNture's Plan.
The action of the ice on the roots
of the trees resulted in stopping the
progress of budding and, while all
the other apple and fruit trees on
neighboring farms were poisoning
joyfully a week or two ago, Brings
had not even budded. The frost of
week ago damaged all of the trees
in the state, but could not damage

WITHDRAW WARSHIPS
Sea Patrol Abolished at Mexico's De.
ctra

sire.
Within twenty-four hours all the
American naval vessels in Mexican
waters will be withdrawn.
This action was taken in accord
ance with orders sent out by Beck
man Winthrop, acting secretary of the
navy, following a formal protest to
the state department made by Senior
Francisco Leon de la Barra, the Mexi.
can ambassador in Washington.
The activity of the American naval
vessels was obnoxious to the Diaz gov
ernment, and Ambassador de la Barra
was instructed to ask that they be
withdrawn.
The dispatching of the naval vessels
to Mexican waters was for the two
fold purpose of having them available
in case it became necessary to pro ,ect
American and foreign property and
also to gather accu. ate information of
the real conditions in Mexico.
1t was never intended, it was ex-
planned, to establish a permanent pa
troll of the Pacific and Gulf coasts of
Mexico.
The navy department took these
steps to obtain information not only
of conditions in Mexico, but also of
attempted filibustering expeditions. In
view Of the complaint of the Mexican
government, however, these investiga-
tions will be abandoned and the ves-
sells withdrawn.

DIAz ASKED TO
FREE AMERICANS
State Department Tries to Save
PIatt and Converse.
MAY INVOLVE BOUNDARY
Washington Holds That Mexicans Cap
tured Men on American Soil-Deatf
to U. S. Citizens Caught as Rebels.

tured Men on American Soil-Deatf
to U. S. Citizens Caught as Rebels.
Two developments in the Mexican
crisis, if their coming together is moi
a mere coincidence, may be fraughf
with serious meaning.
Almost Immediately following an an
nouncement by Jose Limantour, MeXl
can minister of finance, in which ne
virtually declares that Americans ad
judged rebels will be summarily shot
without formality, the state depart
ment asked the Mexican government
to release Blatt and Converse, Amerl
cans, who are held prisoners at Juarez
Mexico.
The reason for this request is sig
nificant. The Mexican government
has been informed that the young mer
were arrested on American SOIL
whereas the Diaz officials at the from
tier have maintained that the men
were arrested at Tia Juana, town on
the northern frontier of the Mexican
state of Lower California, and on the
Mexican side of the line. Only an
imaginary line defines the southern
boundary of California, and this has
never been thoroughly surveyed.
Whether the state departments 1e
quest is made in the belief that the
point near Tia Juana at which Blatt
and Converse were arrested, accused
of being spies, is really American soil.
or whether it is contended that the
arrests took place farther north, In
territory admittedly this country's, de
spite the Mexican authorities state
ments, is not made certain.
If the government ct Mexico City
releases the prisoners this will con
stitute a rebulle for the Mexican of
ficer in command, for he has insisted
that the men were caught on Mexican
soil
The fact that the United States con-
sui at Ell Paso at the time declared
that he could offer no argument why
Blatt and Converse should be released
points to the possibility that bound
airy dispute may result.
Edwin M. Blatt, of Pittsburg, and
Lawrence Converse, son of a Glen
dora, Cal, lawyer, were arrested on
Feb. %. Accused of carrying arms
against Mexico and of acting as spies
for the rebels, they were seized and
for a time it was feared had been shot
They protested their innocence, but
have remained in prison two weeks.

Within the past day or two Chair.
man Underwood has caused it to be

Whether the committee has chang.

be better politics to ratify the agree

is that the agreement is to be passed
by the house as it was outlined in the

MAY HAVE BEEN SHOT
Fifteen Americans With Mexican
Rebels Captured In Battle.

That the fifteen Americans taken
prisoners by the Mexican federal
troops at the battle of Casas Grandes
have been shot is the belief expressed
in FL Paso, Tex.
All the efforts made to reach the
military authorities at Casas Grandes
have failed.
Madero, under whom the men
fought, is still within few miles OF
the place, but according to his conf
dental messages sent by cour!ers
here, he has been unable to learn the
fate of his men.
Madero has been asked to send in a
roster of the mems names, but the
courier who took this message has not
yet returned.
Casas Grandes is $50 miles from El
Paso, and the messenger is travelling
on foot.

Explosion Felt a Hundred Miles.

Expulsion CIT r1unOTeO Miles,
Hardly a house in the thickly pop
ulated farming country within ra-
dius of five miles from Pleasant prai-
rie, Wis, is in a habitable condition as
a result of the explosion of five maya
zines filled with dynamite and black
gunpowder in the plant of the Du-
Pont de Nemours Company.
One man, E. S. Thompson, was
killed; one was seriously injured, sew
eral hundred were painfully hurt, and
the greater number of residents of
Pleasant Prairie, Bristol, and the sur
rounding farming country have pack
ed their remaining household goods
and moved away until their home are
rebuilt.
The explosion was felt more than a
100 miles away, in Illinois, Indiana
and Michigan.
In Chicago, sixty odd miles from
the scene of the explosion, the larg-
est granite buildings were rocked as
if by an earthquake. The tremor
caused a panic in some of the hotels
and theatres. Many persons rushed
to the streets. AT Elgin, ILL.,, woman
dropped dead from fright.
The five magazines which exploded
contained $50 tons finished dynamite,
100 tons unfinished dynamite, $4,000
kegs finished giant powder, $4,000
kegs unfinished giant powder.
Mr.. Bumstead, superintendent of the
powder plant, said the exact cause of
the explosion could not be learned,
but that it might have resulted from a
a hammer blow or from a broken
piece of machinery flying against the
wall or floor of the glazing or finish
ing room.

.rlrantour,s Defiant Statement.

What may be considered in effect
the official Mexican reply to recent
representations said to have been
made by the United States, asking as
liberal treatment as possible for the
Americans caught bearing arms on
Mexican territory, is contained in
statement made by Jose Yves Liman
tour, Mexican minister of finance, in
New York. In substance, it is indicated
that captured American allies of the
revolutionists will have to take their
chances with their Mexican rebel com
panions. This is considered to mean
that under martial law Americans may
be summarily tried and executed

QUITS BANK HE
BORROWED FROM
Cashier Of Mt, Holly National
Resigns.
Bank Examiner Objected to Lees
Leans and He Gave His Home and
Other Real Estate to Secure Debt.

Frederick H. Lee, cashier of the
Mount Holly, N. j., National bank, re-
signed his position because objection
had been made to the fact that he Dor.
rowed money from the bank.
Mr. Lee had many friends on the
board who wanted him to remain as
cashier, but there were others who
thought it would be better If he re-
signed and to avoid controversy he
did so.
The following statement was given
out by Pearson Taylor and George NJ.
Hillman, members of the directorate,
at the close of the meeting:
"Mr. Lee has insisted upon resign,
ing as cashier. His resignation was
accepted by a full board meeting. Al
bert B. Walters, former assis ant
cashier, was selected to take Mr.. Lees
place.
'"The total Indebtedness of Mr. Lee
is less than $4,000 and it is amply
secured"
1t is said that Mr.. Lee borrowed
from the bank with the knowledge
and consent of several of the direc-
tors and there was nothing criminal
in the transactions. A bank examiner,
however, recently objected to them,
and the cashier gave his home, one of
the finest properties in Mount Holly,
and other real estate to secure the
debt
Il have not made up my mind just
what | shall do" said Mr.. Lee after
the board meeting. Il have good
prospects, but no definite plans for the
future l am going to stay in Mount
Holly a while, but have severed all
connection with the bank"
The bank, it was said, will hold
Lees property for him until he is in
a position to redeem it. He was also
bonded for $4,000, and at no time
was the institution in danger of losing
money through his borrowing. Fur
thermore, the bank has surplus oi
$4,000 and other securities and is In
excellent condition.
Lees salary was $500 year, but
he is said to have lived in the style
of a man with much greater income
He and his wife entertained fre
quently at their home here, which was
one of the centers of social activity il
the town, and both have many friend:
in Philadelphia.
1t is estimated that Lee had Dor
rowed as much as 100000 from tbs
bank, but the amount had been re
duced until it is within the limit o
the banking laws and is now so pro
| tected that the institution will not lose
anything.
Lee has been cashier of the Noun
| Holly National bank for ten years
| filing a position his father once held
| The demand made upon him to trans
fer his real estate as security is sal
to have been due principally to thu
banks unfortunate experience in th
past with trusted employees.
Thirty year ago a cashier namet
Kelly embezzled $4,000 and was sen
fenced to states prison for eigh
years. The second defalcation occurred

ant cashier, disappeared with $3.50
