Counterfd.ang is Laid at Door of
Hans Schmidt in Connection
With Dentist Muret.
APPARATUS FOR MAKING
MONEY IS DISCOVERED
Police Say Feigning Insanity That
OF Master Criminal Mind
Forged His Papers.

New York, Sept 16.-The discoy-
cry of counterfeiters den which
Hans Schmidt, priest and confessed
slayer OF Anna Aumueler today ad.
mitted was fitted up by him, led the
detectives and other visitors to the
cell in the Tombs to express opinion
that Schmidt is sane and further in
vestigation will develop that dyna-
mite was only one of his 'side
lines. They declare il. is their be
lief that his feigning insanity is the
careful though out plans of master
crin,inal mind.
To the Rev. n7ers. chaplain of
the Tombs prison and other callers.
Schmidt admitted his connection
with the Cat in West 134th street
where detectives found bundles Of
imitation ten dollar gold certil-
Gates.
Doctor Ernest Mu~et, the dentist
arrested last night after the raid OF
\ c0unterfeiters den today was held
in bail on $1,000 for hearing on the
charge of having in his possession
a revolver in violation of the state
laws.
Through his knowledge OF the
law, Muret forestalled plans OF
the federal police agents seeking to
arrest him on a charge of counter
feiting, BY waving the prelimi-
nary examination, Muret for the
time being at least escaped the more
serious charge.
Bertha zeehs, a servant girl en-
ployed by the dentist and taken to
police headquarters with him last
night was released for lack of evil
dence
William Flynn, chief of the secret
service today annopnced he had
taken temporary charge of the gov
ernmont's end and would work with
the New York police in tracing the
operations of Schmidt as a counter
feiter and also the connection Muret
might have had with the state
money plant.
A. r. Keelbe. Schmidts attorney,
visited the priest today and after a
conference declared he was more
than ever convinced of the insanity
of his client.
II shall move to have Schmidt's
case brought to trial at the earliest
moment possible" said M. Koelbie
IF | then think that he is insane,
| shall ask for a commission to de-
termine his mental status If /
think he is sane | will tell him to
pay the penalty.
Forged His Papers.
1t was learned that he had forged
the papers which he presented to
the church authorities on his arrival
here four years ago from Germany,
where he was under a cloud, having
been denounced and suspended by
his bishop Vicar-General Mooney
If the archdiocese of New York
sent a message to the bishop of
Nainz, Germany, yesterday after
noon. asking for a report OF
Schmidts record in that diocese.
Today the following reply was re-
ceived from the bishops secretary:
u. Schmidt, born Aschoffensburg.
Priest of dioces of Mainz. Ordain-
ed 1904. Ran away from Munich
because OF attempted fraud and ar
rested by police. Declared insane
by courts and discharged. Suspend
ed by bishop for acts and for pre-
senting falsifed documents regard
ing studies he pretended TO have
made. He then left dioces.

Huerta in Message Says Diplomatic
Course of America Has Re-

AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT IN
ACCORD WITH GOVERNMENT
Independence Day in Capital One of
Military Demonstration and
Display Of Gayety.

Mexico CITY, Sept. lG.--In spite
OF the rumor which dealt impair
TALLY with attacks upon America
and an army uprising, and the as
sassination OF the president, indie
pendence Day came and went with
nothing 10 mar the holiday spirit.
Politically the great event was the
reopening of Congress and the read
ing of President Huerta's message,
but without a doubt Huerta was
moved less by that than by the spec
tacle OF thousands of students, citi-
zens and soldiers doing him honor as
he stood on the balcony of the ma
tional palace reviewing the great
parade. the feature in which public
interest centered.
More than 1000 volunteers and
students ranging In age from Il
years upwards had their first taste
OF military discomfort standing 20"
hours in drizzing rain and plod
ding through muddy streets. They
bore the hardships manfully, how
ever, marching proudly between
dense lines of onlokers past the
palace.
Estimated at close to 10000
marchers passed in review. Presi-
dent Huerta and his aides riding
through the strets at the conclusion
OF the early ceremony were greeted
with wild applause. The presidents
greatest triumph appeared to be at
his reception at the joint session of
the deputies and senators when he
entered to read his message. He
was greeted with "Vivas" both by
the crowd surrounding the chamber
and that which filled the hall.
City in Gayety.
Tonight the city is ablaze with
strings of incandescent lights and
all public buildings are profusely
decorated. Until midnight the thor
oughfares presented the appear
ance of a New Years eve in the big
cities of the United States.
In his message President Huerta
promised to spare no effort to bring
about the unrestricted election OF
president and vice president of the
Mexican republic, next month, de-
claring that it would constitute the
greatest triumph of his career to
turn over the office to his successor
with a country at peace, as he hoped
to do.
He said the strained diplomatic
relations between Mexico and the
United States had caused the Mex
can nation to suffer unmerited af-
Fiction and had retarded pacification
of the country.
The provisional president threw a
distinction between the attitude Of
the government of the United States
and thet of the people of the nation
saying "the tenSeness OF our diplo-
matte relations with the govern
ment of America although luckily
not with that people" had put Mex
ico in state of apprehension.
