extent of Sill, ,865.S1. This is the an

GREATEST OF CRIMINALS
Hans Schmidt Denied DR.. Muret's Con
nectIon With Recent Murder.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Questionet
again today by Police Inspector
Faurot, Hans Schmidt, who recently
killed and dismembered the body o.
Anna Aummuller and cast the pieces
in the Hudson river, denied that that
DR.. Muret, in whose house the police
found a counterfeiting plant suppos-
ed to belong partly to Schmidt, knew
anything of the Aumuller murder.
DR.. Muret vehementIy denounced
Schmidt today, declaring that he was
not only innocent of any connertion
with the murder but was ignorant of
the counterfeiting as we'll.
Had Schmidt remained Free" said
Inspector Faurot, "it is believed that
Schmidt would have become one of the
worlds master criminals and abnormal
crook. From the beginning he had a
criminal degenerate mind and it's only
in keeping with his past actions for
him to pretend insanity now"

of such stamps will be negligible"

compared with the great saving in ex-
pense and the increase in efficiAnrg
to be effected by their use.

the peaceful solution of the Mexican

Provisional President Huertas mes
sage and the absence of an anti-for-

ance that "it will constitute the great
est possible triumph and that during
the interim the government will sur
render the office to a successor if the
latter, as is to be expected, enters up
