TRIES TO KILL CELL MATE
Confessed Murderer Angry Because the
Story of Crime Is Doubted

Portsmouth, n. H., March ll.-John
Babbitt, who is alleged to have con-
fessed that he murdered Miss Emma
Brooks in Ulster county, n. Y, four
years ago, last night attempted to mur
der Leo Savageau of Manchester, his
cell mate at the Portsmouth Jail, and
then tried to commit suicide, accord
ing to the Jail officials. Savageau, it
is feared, was fatally injured. while
Babbitt was not 80 seriously hurt.
Deputy Sheriff w. b. Shaw declared
that Babbitt slashed Savageau's throat
with razor and cut his own throat
after Sayageau had said that he doubted
the truth of Babbitt's confession. Both
men were removed to the Portsmouth
hospital.
Babbitt is alleged to have confessed
Sunday that he killed Miss Brooks four
years ago According to Deputy Shaw,
he said that he was hard up at the time
and seeing that Miss Brooks was alone
in her farm house he robbed and muir
dered her. Last night the New York
state officers wired for a detailed state
ment and said that they suspected from
the story told them by Sheriff Shaw
that Babbitt was the man wanted in
connection with the crime.
Savageau was serving sentence for
larceny and Babbitt was charged with
stealing clothing.

Died of Foul Play.

The mother OF C. Edward Hurley, the

afternoon, resides in Montpelier, as well
as his sister. The former is Mrs. Kate
Moriarty and the sister is Miss Helen
Hurley, an employe of the Capital City
Press office. Other relatives are mem
bers of the family Of Thomas Moriarty.
Among the Montpelier relatives there
seems to be an impression that Mr.. Hur.
ley met with foul play, although the
dispatches state tnat there were no
marks on the body.
Mr. Hurley left Evarts on Feb Is,
ostensibly to go to Springfield, Mass.
on business. Since that time he had
not been heard from. The body was
found on the bank of the Connecticut
river in decomposed condition.
The deceased was born in st. Adams
81 years ago and had resided in the
town of HartIand for 2s years. Re
Gently he had been Central Vermont sta

ALLIES DELAY MATTERS.
Speedy Fall of Both Adrianople and Scu-
tari Is Expected.

London, March ll.-Diplomacy with
reference to the Balkan situation is
again at standstiil, and there is an
almost complete absence of military
news.
According to Sofia dispatch, Bull
garia is waiting for Servia's reply, and
the allies reply to the powers respect
ing mediation will not be delivered until
Wednesday.
The belief is current in European cap
itals that the allies are purposely delay
ing matters in expectation of the
speedy fall of Adiranople and Scutari,
which would place them in a more fa.
vorable position for the proposed nego-
tiations.
A strong military censorship has
again been placed on the Constantinople
newspapers, which are forbidden to pub
lsh changes in the army or any ru.
mors concerning the position of the min
istry.
An Athens dispatch to the Daily Tel
egraph expresses the belief that the
fall of Scutari is imminent, and that
the allies will avoid peace negotiations
until that time.
A peace dispatch from Cettinje re-
ports another unsuccessful sortie by the
Turks in an attempt to raise the siege
,f Scutari.

after which the arsenic was found on the
woman. Since that time Mr.. Wells has
been arrested on the charge of murder

Mr.. Wells has retained w. r. Austin

WILSON MEETS DIPLOMATS
Formal Feature of White House Life
Carried Out in Splendor

Washington, d. c., March ll.--While
President Wilson already has dispensed
with some of the formalities which hith-
erto have been observed by occupants
of the White House, he demonstrated
yesterday that he would observe to the
letter the international amenities of his
office.
Probably the most formal ceremony in
which Mr.. Wilson has ever participated
was his presentation to the diplomatic
corps accredited to Washington by the
civilized nations of the globe. In a
semi-circle of brilliant color, their uni
forms glded profusely with the insig-
MIA of their rank, l46 foreign repre-
sentatives stood in impressive silence
while the president and the secretary
of state, William Jennings Bryan, en-
tered through the big doors of the east
room.
The president and Secretary Bryan
wore the conventional frock suits of
formal occasions in America The presi-
dent was accompanied by his chief aide.
Col. Spencer Crosby, and his personal
aide, Major Thomas l.. Rhoads, both of
them in the full dress uniform of the
American army. On each side of the en-
trance six White House aides, three from
the army and three from the navy, stood
at attention.
In the groups of six and eight the dip
lomats and their staffs were arranged
Chandler Hale, third assistant secretary
of state, presented the president first to
Ambassador Jusserand of France. dean
of the diplomatic corps. Secretary Bryan
was presented with similar ceremony.
TO each diplomat, the president spoke
word of greeting, but the ceremony
throughout was quietly formal.
After the president had met individ-
ually the circle of diplomats he ad
dressed them briefly, expressing the hope
for the continuance of amicable rela-
tions between this nation and their re-
spective countries and indulging the wish
that their service in Washington might
be personally enjoyable.
On Wednesday afternoon the diplo- |
matte corps will be entertained at tea |
at the White House with the members of |
their families, when Mrs. Wilson and
the three Wilson daughters will be pre-
sented.
