USES RAZOR TO
SLASH SON TO DEATH
Insane M;thar Horribly Gut Lad
After lieIng Hands and Feet.

Only recently returned to Potts
vile, Pa, from a private hospital a.
Lebanon, Mrs. Benjamin j Granger
aged thirty years, close reader OF
the Albany child murder case, went
suddenly insane ard killed her only
son, John Edward Granger, aged seven
years.
The woman was discharged from
the hospital apparently cured of her
mental trouble, but her sister has kept
close watch upon her The mother
took advantage of the temporary alb
sence of her sister to carry out the
crime.
The unfortunate boy, bright lad
had been at school. After the midday
meal the mother took her boy out tC
an isolated section known as THE
Pines" There she tied his hands and
feet and stuffed a handkerchief down
his throat to stop his cries.
Using a razor, while he lay help
less, she cut his throat from ear tC
ear. The sharp blade was then used
to slice the child from the neck dowr
his chest to his abdomen.
The boy made vain fight for his
life. In his struggles he wrenched one
hand loose from the ropes, with which
it was pinioned.
Just as the police and hospital au.
thoritieS arrived the mother was ap.
pretended in the vicinity of a public
school house. Her face and clothing
were covered with blood. The woman
shrieked and screamed. She proved a
terrifying spectacle to several hundred
children as she ran up and down the
street.

Booker T. Washington, the noted
cOlored eEucator, did not take the
stand in IT, ; trial of Albert Ulrich,
white man, accused OF attacking him
in the hallway of an apartment house
in West SiXty-third street. New York
Sunday night.
Instead, Ulrich waived examination,
on advice of counsel, and was held for
trial in the court of special sessions
at date not made, The charge OF fe
lonious assault was abated to one OF
simple assault, and bail reduced from
$500 to $500
AS Ulrich walked out OF the court
after furnishing the $500 bail, he said:
Il guess nothing will ever come OF
this"
DR.. Washington rode away from the
court in a city automobile with the
borough president, McAneny, and Will
liam j. Flynn, deputy commissioner of
police.
AS for the circumstances leading UP
to his West SiXty-third street expert
ence and the charges that have been
made against him, Dr. Washington
said solemnly:
LAS ! am a man of honor, spoke

think, to do him justice, that the man
who struck me perhaps thought | was
a burglar. But certainly will prose

In speaking of the assault Ulrich
says:
About nine O'Clock Sunday night
my wife took one of our dogs into the
street We live on the ground floor of
the house, liz West Sixty-third
street When she returned she said
that she had seen a colored man in
the hall and that he spoke to her
Mr. and Mrs. Ravette and Mrs
Knowles, friends of ours, were in the
house at the time | went out and
saw a man in the hall The man went
out of the vestibule door ahead of
me when | came out"
Ulrich said he saw the man re.
enter the hallway and later saw him
bending down at my door peering
through the keyhole." Ulrich said
that the colored man swung a blow at
his jaw when he asked him what he
was doing and that then he went after
the man, who fell twice in his efforts
to escape.
DR.. Washington said he has received
hundreds of letters and kilograms from
prominent persons from all parts of
the country expressing sympathy. The
communications, he said, were from
financiers, politicians, philanthropi5ts
and others.
Among those who called in person
were Jacob II. Schiff, w. j. Schieffe
lin, Borough President McAneny, Rev
Leighton Parks, Bishop Derrick (col-
ored), Alfred T. White, the Brooklyn
philanthropist, and Isaac Selgman
Andrew Carnegie called up on the
phone later and called and spent half
an hour in conversation.

Mobilization in Texas Q Pre-.
CdutIonary Movement.
READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY
viii Be There In April, and If Inva
sion of Mexico Takes Place 1t Must
Be at Viii! of Congress.

There is no intention on the part ol
the administration to order the troops
now in Texas to cross the Rio Giande
river. President Taft has never
thought of issuing such an order
Under the constitution he is com
mander-in-chief of the army and navy
but under the constitution also it is
the right of congress to declare war
He never suspected, one of his close
friends said, that anybody in the
country would think that he could con
template such step without the au
thority of congress.
The paramount reason for sending
the troops to Texas was to be ready
for any emergency which might arise
The entire movement has been pre-
cautionary. The president acted solely
with view to protecting the lives OF
Americans in Mexico and of keeping
intact the hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth OF property there owned by
United States citizens.
The troops will be in Texas when
congress meets in April. If the revolu
ton in Mexico grows and American
interests are threatened congress will
have an army of 10000 men within
easy moving distance of the trouble
The president believes that he has
done his part. He has gone as far as
he could go and hopes that it will not
be necessary to go any further, II
later congress feels that the lives and
property of Americans in Mexico are
in danger and interference is neCes
sary, the president will follow its will.
Until congress gives the word, though
there will be no movement of troops
at the presidents direction except on
the American side of the Rio Grande
The president has paid not the
slightest attention TO reports that In
surgents in congress, and notably in
the senate, intend to make political
capital out of this movement of troops
He told friends that he cared abso-
lutely nothing for any adverse effect
politically which his action might
have. He thought that American lives
and property might be in danger, and
he acted. II some insurgents in con.
gress wish to kick up row the presi
dent will not seek to call them off. He
told callers that he merely did what
he regarded as his duty under his oath
of office. He has not thought of the
political effect his order might have.
The reports that the troops are to
be withdrawn from Texas and the Dor.
der at the request of Ambassador de
la Barra was denied by the president
in conversation with friends. Senior de
la Barra, it is said, never requested
that this government withdraw the
troops. In the eyes of government Off
cials he could net have made such a
request property. The troops are in
the United States and for the present
it is intended tnat they shall be used
in maintaining neutrality.
The statement which has appea ed
from time to time that Wall street
figured in the sudden dispatch of the
troops to Texas also was discredited
by men close to the president.

REVOLT MAY END SOON
Limantour Will Sug. est Compromise
to Disy.

to Diaz.
With certain powerful influences
now at work it is believed the civil
war in Mexico will end this week.
Jose Yves Limantour, minister of
finance, arrived in Mexico City and
will begin with President Diaz a SER
les of conferences, which it is expect
ed will result in the announcement
within three or four days of reor-
ganiZed cabinet.
Minister Limantour will present an
explanation of the demands of the
revolutionists and the changes in the
official family of President Diaz, as
we'll as the institution of ce. tain re-
forms are confidently expected to ap-
pease the insurgents.
In the meantime President Taft will
confer with Ambassador de la Barra.
and there is good ground for the as
sumption that the troops now concen-
trated in Texas Immediately will be-
gin series of maneuvers and e,urn
soon to their posts. In addition to this,
when conditions are normal in Mexico
a complete statement of things which
actuated the mobilization of the
troops will be issued by the White
House
The hope of peace in Mexico also is
strengthened by the manner in which
the revolutionists have commented on
the magazine article of Ambassador
de la Barra and the significant spirit
of expectancy with which the results
of Senior Limantours conferences in
Mexico City this week are awaited by
organs of insurgent sentiment.

Million Natives win Die Unless
Help Comes at Cnce.
ARE PRAYING Fer FOOD
Missionary Says Crops In Famine Dis
trict Will Not Be Ready For Har
vest Until June.

Pathetic details of the sufferings
from famine in Anwhei and other
provinces of China reach the mission
boards in New York in every mail.
A letter came to the board Of for.
eign missions of the Presbytelia
church from Rev. Thomas Carter, a
missionary stationed at Hwai Yuen, In
Anwhei province.
II never really knew what the
Lords Prayer meant until today. he
writes We came to village where
some Christians gathered for worship.
To hear that company of men say
Give us this day our daily bread had
a strange sound when we knew that
not one of them had so much as seen
bread for many day, unless you call
pressed sweet potato vines bread.
Somehow that prayer must be an.
swered. We cannot let these people
starve."
A million persons in the region Just
north of his station, Mr.. Carter says,
are to die of starvation before sum-
mer unless help comes from outside.
He writes of the scene, as it i'm
pressed him, in the following terms:
1T would be hard to draw picture
of the famine district that would not
be altogether misleading. The coun.
try looks much the same as any
stretch of country looks anywhere in
China. Long stretches of good ricn
fields are just beginning to be green
with winter wheat.
"It is only as we look closely and
ask questions that we find out the
real state of affairs. We look at the
fields that looked so prosperous with
the winter wheat, and we realize that
those fields were all under water last
summer, the fields of over 100000 Of
people, and that the wheat that we
see will not be ready until June, and
before that time, unless help comes,
the larger part of the people that
planted the wheat will be beyond us
ing it.
And now we look again at the peo.
pie who have come down to meet us
with their rice bowls; in the bowls
there is no rice. The bowls contain
chiefly hot water and some weeds
gathered from the fields, mixed with
few grains of precious wheat bought
with the relief money just given by
the government, relief that amounts to
about three cents gold given only to
the very poorest, that is to about half
of the population.
This is something of what famine
means now. What it is going to mean
soon we scarcely dare to think, for it
is still five months before wheat har-
vest. Already in many places the bark
is taken from the trees and eaten.
"The country is perfectly peaceful,
more so than usual it seems to the
stranger, for there are no dogs to bark
at the passers-by. They aer all starved
or eaten, or both. The same is true of
all the animals"

BABY SICK SHE SHOUTS FIRE
Woman Sends In Alarm to Get Aid
For Choking Infant.

When baby becomes suddenly i'll
send in a fire alarm.
This was effectively tried in Chi
cago by Mrs. Mary Rothschild when
her baby had a severe coughing spell.
She rushed into the street shouting
"Fire!" and the neighbors sent in fire
alarms.
Two companies responded. When a
battalion chief asked where the blaze
was, the reply of the bother was:
Never mind the fire. Baby's chok-
ing! Don't stand there doing moth
ing: help me-"
The fireman called a doctor and
baby was soon himself again
