Comes Up On Interpolation.

Berlin.-The matter of other powers
being indirectly requested to keep out
of Mexico came up in the Reichstag
on an Interpolation by two Of the Ma
tional Liberal leaders as to whether
Provisional President Huerta had
made representations to Germany in
regard to the raising of the embargo
on arms by the United States"
The Interpolation vas replied to by
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, Under Secre.
tary Of State for Foreign Affairs, who
said the United States Government,
when it informed Germany of the rails
ing of the embargo, had expressed the
conviction that nobody outside of Mex
leo could effect a settlement OF that
country's difficulties.
The restoration Of peace in MEXICO,
DR.. Zimmerman said, could be hoped
for only if the Mexican parties were
allowed to fight out their quarrels
without interference, and the raising
of the embargo merely gave American
citizens the same right of selling arms
as was enjoyed by other nations.
The Under Secretary informed the
House that measures had been taken
to protect Germans in Mexico and de,
clared that Mexico would be held fully
responsible for all their property
losses.

GROUND BROKEN
ON LINCOLN DAY
So, 000,0 900 Memorial TO the
Emancipation is Begun.
STARTED BY A S0UTHERNER.
Prominent Men From North and
South Join In Exercise-Hon-
ored In Senate and
House.

Notwithstanding freezing winds
swept across the Potomac from the
sloping Virginia hills where stands the
Lee Mansion at Arlington, a barehead-
ed Southern officer of the Civil War
opened the simple exercises that mark
ed the breaking of the ground for the
construction of the great white mar
BILE memorial the nation is about to
erect to Abraham Lincoln. This day,
the one hundred and fifth anniversary
OF Lincoln's birth, was chosen for the
breaking of the ground for the $4,000
900 structure, which will rise as rapid
ly as the contractors can push the
work.
Only a small group gathered to wit
ness the significant event, Joseph c. S.
Blackburn, former senator from Ken
lucky, was the first to sink a spade
into the ground and then with I'M
covered head he spoke in high praise
of the memory of the President against
whom he fought half a century ago.
"This memorial will show that Lin
coin is now regarded Is the greatest
of all Americans" said Senator Black
burn, land that he is so held by the
South, as well as the North. Today
we let the country know that this great
work has been begun and will be car
ried on steadily until its completion"
NJ. f. Conner, of Toledo, o.; Colonel
w. w. Harris, Lieutenant ]. a. O'Con-
nor, U. s. A.; II. A. Vale. John F. Be-
thune and Henry Bacon sought turns
with the spade for the honor of aiding
in starting the building of the me-
mortal.
In the Senate II vas a Southerner
who made the motion to ADJOURN out Of
respect to the memory Of Lincoln. The
motion was made without pr%e-arrange-
ment by Senator Overman, of North
Carolina, following the reading of the
former Presidents Gettysburg address
by Senator Bradley, of Kentucky. 1t
was Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, who had
suggested that the Senate might well
pause. a moment to observe the birth
day anniversary. The House, too,
paused in its deliberations to pay its
respect to the memory of the great
emancipation.

HANS SCHMIDT TO
DIE NEXT MONTH
Will Be EIeCtrocgted During the
Week of March e.
"LAST WORDS" A VERSE.
Takes Sentence Without Sign OF
Emotion-Holds Out Hands For
Steel Cuffs-Wore Fur
OVercoat.

New York.-Hans Schmidt, con-
victed of numbering Anna Aumueller,
a domestic at st. B~oniface's parson-
age, was sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing some time dur
ing the week beginning March 20.
Justice Vernon NJ. Davis, in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court,
pronounced sentence after Schmidt,
through his counsel, T. j. McManus,
announced he had nothing to say.
Just before Schmidt was called into
court the newspapermen sent him a
message asking him If he wished to
make a statement. lie sent back a
carefully penned note, as follows:
Beyond this vale Of tears there is a
life above,
Unmeasured by the flight Of years,
And all that life is love.
No Sign or Emotion.
Schmidt took his sentence with ao-
solutely no show of emotion. He stood
erect before Justice Davis and looked
straight at him, taking no notice what
ever of anyone else around him. When
Justice Davis put the question: Have
you anything to say before sentence is
passed upon your" he merely leaned
slightly forward. There was a pause
and Attorney McManus moved for a
new trial and a stay of sentence. Both
motions we're denied.
Immediately after sentence was pro
nounced Deputy Sheriff Bowers STEP
ped to the mans side with a pair of
handouts. Schmidt turned to Bowers
and coolly held out his hands.
The prisoner wore a fur overcoat,
with a clean white muller about his
neck. His beard, grown since he was
arrested, was tucked into the collar of
the o%vercoat. His whole appearance
was vastly improved since he was last
in court.
Schmidt was taken to Sing Sing i'm
mediately.

Yearlinn Trout Put Out.

More than 100000 trout will be
placed within the streams of the State
within the next six weeks by wardens
Of the State Department of Fisheries
and people connected with fishing clubs
and associations who have agreed with
the State authorities to look after
the distribution Of the young fish.
The distribution is being carried on
independently of what is being done
by the National Government agents,
and will cover the whole State. Some
fish have been placed in eastern
streams. Commissioner Of Fisheries
N. r. Butler says that only yearling
trout have been placed, as they can
take care of themselves, and the per
centage surviving is far greater than
when much younger fish or fish fry are
turned loose. The fish are raised at
State hatcheries and sent out under
agreements to properly distribute
them and TO make reports on results
Of the planting"

WORLD TOLD
TO KEEP OUT
Mexico Must Settle Her Own
Difficulties, Says Bryan.
REICHSTAG is INFORMED.
State Department For the Present
Declines To Enter Into Cues
tion OF Liability. For
Losses.

Washington. While admitting its
accuracy Secretary Bryan declined to
discuss further the statement by the
German Under Secretary of State to
the Imperial Parliament that Germany
had been notified by the United States
that nobody outside Of Mexico could
enforce a settlement of that country's
present difficulties.
The view that the Mexican factions
should be allowed to adjust their diff
ferences free from outside interfer-
ence was expressed when the Ameri-
can Government gave notice to the
world powers that its embargo against
the expectation of arms to Mexico had
been raised.
Officials pointed out that similar ex-
pressions had been communicated re-
peatedly to other powers when their
diplomatic representatives asked what
the United States intended to do in
regard to Mexico.
The question OF Mexican RESPONSE
bility for losses sustained by foreign
ers resident in Mexico as a result of
the revolutionary disturbances is one
which at present the State Depart
ment declines to enter upon. 1t was
suggested that the German Under Sec
rotary expressed only the German view
when he said assurances had been
given that all losses would be in
demnifed. The history of past revo-
lutionary movement in the Western
Hemisphere presents some contradic-
tions of doctrine in this regard and the
disposition of the officials is to leave
such matters to be adjusted after the
present revolution is ended.

Charities Half.Rate Quiz.

The question of whether the Public
Service Company law of 1913 will pre-
rent a railroad from giving half rates
10 a charitable enterprise has been
nlaced before the Public Service Com
mission by Charles C. Cooper, direc'
for of the Kingsley Association, which
conducts a settlement house in Pitts
burgh and a fresh-air farm at Nalen'
ella. He asks whether railroads may
continue to give half rates on freight
for carload lots OF freight for the
establishments. The association is
supported by contributions, and the
rate concession has been very helpful
to It. .
Another interesting case Is that
brought by Elmer c. Jones, Of Norris
town, who contends that the car steps
on the Philadelphia G Western Rail-
road are too high. Anna NJ. Eakins,
Of philadelphia, who brought to the
attention Of the Commission the
charge that the Harrisburg G South
Mountain Railroad failed to operate
trains. was informed in a ruling by
the Commission that the matter Is
one for the Courts, as there is a ques-
ton of contract.
