ULT|MATUM FROM. !,
PRESIDENT HUERTA
Sets Time Limitfor Recognition
of His Administration.
LIND's MISSION A FAILURE.
All Proffers Of Mediation Or Any
Similar Suggestion From For
eian Government Refused BY
The Mexican Government.

Mexico City.-General Huerta has
to the propositions of President Will
son was made known to John Lind,
the Presidents personal representa-
tive Monday.
1t refuses all proffers of mediation
or any similar suggestion from a
foreign government"
Mr.. Lind has forwarded Huerta's
reply to Washington and will take no
further action until he gets instruc-
tlons from the American State Depart
ment.
The United States government has
been given until midnight Tuesday by
President Huerta to recognize his ad-
ministration, 1t is officially stated.
The government is not specific in
the public announcement as to what
course then will be pursued. but it is
understood that it means the sever
ing of all relations between the two
countries.
President Huerta, in his reply, told
the United States that he would toler-
ate no interference, even though that
interference might be characterized as
friendly mediation. The character of
the reply of Washington to President
Huerta's note will determine the next
action of the international drama.
President Huerta's failure to live
up to what was regarded as the spirit
aof his recent note, in which he said
Mr. Lind would be regarded as persona
non grata II he did not bring to Mex
illeq propsr esedeni lals toeether With
I reeoguitipn 10 tlle repunic by lie
United States, had caused the public
to believe there was a. possibility that
he intended to receive with favor, in
part at least, the suggestions of the
Washington administration.
1t appears, however. that the Mexi.
can governments unofficial reception
Of Mr.. Lind by Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs Gamboa, and the acceptance By
the foreign secretary of Mr.. Lind's
| preliminary note, was merely an ex-
ample of International courtesy, due,
perhaps, to a desire of President
Huerta to make clear his record in
developing events. Those most init.
mate with Huerta expressed no sur,
| prise in declaring that in their opin-
ion Huerta had voiced his sentiments
fully and unalterably when he stated
| publicly more than week ago that he
would book no interference in the
work of pacifying Mexico.
II is believed here that Presiien.

THAWPS DASH
FROM ASYLUM
Speeding Auto Carries Him Be-

FIVE AID IN HIS FLIGHT.
Fugitive Believed To Have Boarded
Yacht For Europe-Police
Guard Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw.

New York -IIArrN X. Thaw, slayer
Of Stanford White, escaped from the
State Hospital Tor the Criminal Ipsane
a MasieaTs sc agss
The Vigilance of thoasands ul po'
.iceman and detectives Ia New York
and neighboring States have failed to
furnish clue to his whereabouts.
Darting past an attendant who had
just opened the gate to the asylum
grounds for the milkman to enter,
Thaw leaped into six-cylinder auto
mobile, which stood throbbing opposite
the entrance, and disappeared in a
whirl Of wind and dust in the direc-
tion of the Connecticut State line. A
second automobile followed him.
In his powerful car Thaw swept
through the hamlet of Stormville, 10
miles away, at 60 miles an hour, head
ing for Connecticut.
DR.. R. F. G.. Kieb, the hospital head,
believes Thaw fed to some spot on
the shore of Long Island Sound and
boarded yacht for Europe.
A reward of $500 has been offered
by Dr. Kieb for Thaw's apprehension.
Thaw's former counsel and officials
of the State Hospital Commission ex-
pressed the opinion that Thaw would
be free man, once outside the States
boundaries. They thought he could
not be brought back to New York by
eXtradition unless he were legally ad-
judged insane in the State to which he
fed.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the fugi,
tive's aged mother manifested delight
at his success.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, playing
at New York theatre. professed to
be terrorized and said she feared he
would attempt to execute his threat to
kill her.
Howard H. Barnum, the asylum at
tendant who witnessed Thaw's sue
cessful break for liberty, was locked
up in the county jail on charge of
aiding Thaw in his escape.
The miX-up in Albany over the Gov
ernorship is regarded as favorable to
Thaw's prospects of remaining long
out of the State, even if he should be
apprehended and extradition papers
issued for his return.

THAW TO FIGHT
RETURN TO U. S.
Fugitive From Matteawan, Cap
tured in Canada.
THEY PLAN TO DEPORT HIM.
Prisoner, In Defense, Claims That He
Was Merely Passing Through
Canada On Way To
Detroit.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, = Harry X
Thaw was cut short in his flight from
the State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Matteawan, N. Y, by arrest
at the village of st. Hermenegilde de
Garford, just over the international
line from New Hampshire.
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is an undesirable alien
and extradition on warrant charging
him with bribery.
The warrant already issued in New
York State for his arrest on a charge
of conspiracy will not suffice to extra
dite him, in the opinion of local au
thorities. These authorities received
word that the District Attorney OF
Duchess county, in which Matteawan
is located, was on his way here pre-
pared to swear to warrant charging
4'haw with bribery-an extraditable
offense-if necessary.
In his own defense, Thaw claims
that he was merely passing through
Canada on his way to Detroit when
his passage was interrupted by arrest.
He exhibited what he claimed to be
transportation to Detroit in support OF
this claim and cited the case of Jack
Johnson to bear out his contention
that he cannot be sent back to the
United States by the Canadian au-
thorities as long as he is simply pass
ing through the country and intends
to go beyond its borders,

HUERTA AND LIND
TALK 1T OVER.
THAT So CALLED uLTiMATuM
REPORTED FROM MEXICO
WAS UNAUTHORIZED.
President Wilson At First Opposed Ts
the Removal OF the Embargo On
Arms Is Now Said To Be
open-minded On Question.

Mexico City.-Face to face in con-
ference. Ex-Governor John Lind and
President Huerta are believed to have
reached partial understanding which
may yet prevent the severance Of
relations between the United States
and Mexico, and serve to continue
negotiations in which Washington may
play the role Of mediator.
Neither at the National Palace nor
at the American Embassy were any
details of the conference given out
but it is known that the meeting was
cordial, and that Mr.. Lind considered
the so-called ultimatum announced
through DR.. Aureliano Urrutia, minis
ter of the interior, as unauthorized,
although 1t is not claimed that Presi-
ednt Huerta specifically denied having
made the peremptory demand for
recognition, as credited to him to Dr.
Urrutia's statement This was to tho
effect that the United States would be
given until midnight to agree to
recognition of the Huerta administra-
tion under threat of severing all rela-
tlons.
Mr.. Lind has always believed that
he could accomplish much II permitted
to talk personally with the President.
and there is reason to believe that as
a result of their conference between
the plain-speaking old men the atti-
tude of President Huerta may be
changed notwithstanding that the first
steps toward diplomatic break had
already been taken. The gravity Of
the situation is at least considerably
relieved for the immediate present.

WoMAN's QUEER MALADY.
Cannot Keep Awake Unless She
Stands Up

Weehawken. N. ]. : Miss Alice
Geiser, of Weehawken, is the victim of
a peculiar malady which physicians
say is without parallel in medical
annals. She cannot keep awake un-
less she stands up. If she sits or lies
Gown, she soon becomes unconscious.
The affiiction differs from the sleep
ing sickness of Africa in that Miss
Geiser has been troubled with her un,
usual somnolence for two years, while
the course of the African disease is
run in about two weeks.
Although she has been under con.
stant medical treatment for two years,
no headway has been made toward a
cure. Miss Geiser in all other respects
is normal, healthy young woman.

MRS. SULzER AS
VICTIM OF PLOT
How Her Husband Hopes to
Obtain vindicatiOn.
TAMMANYs HAND SHOWN.
1t is Charged That Conspiracy Was
Hatched BY Wall Street and Tam
many Hall To Get Governor
Sulzer Entanaled.

Albany, n. Y.-That conspiracy was
hatched by Wall street and Tammany
Hall to get Governor Sulzer hopeless
ly entangled and in their clutches
conspiracy with a woman as its un-
wiSing victim-will be charged as a
basis of the defense of the impeached
Governor if the impeachment comes
to trial.
Sulzer and his counsel confidently
hope that it will not. They believe
the action of the assembly will be de.
clared unconstitutional, and that the
impeachment court will never as
semble.
The high points of the conspiracy
story upon which Sulzer has built
his hopes of a complete yindication
are these:
l. That while Sulzer was away cam
paigning, Mathew T, Horgan, who was
living at the Sulzer home and keeping
Charles F. Murphy informed of events,
gave Mrs. Sulzer the tip on big
Four"
2. At that time Sulzer was in debt
$4S,O00 and Mrs. SGlzer saw an op.
portunity to rehabilitate the family
finances by acting on this market tip.
She was assured it could not go wrong
8. Campaign contributions had been
coming in large amounts and she took
the checks, regarding her act as a
Legitimate temporary loan. and bought
stocks

5. That her bank books and memo
randa of these transactions were
stolen so she would be unable to fur
nish the proof of her acts, if ever
called upon to do so.
1t is claimed that Louis A. Sarecky.
Suffers private secretary, had full
knowledge of all these transactions
and aided Mrs. Sulzer in carrying out
her plan to rehabilitate her husbands
| finances. He is looked on by the Sui
| ger defense to take the stand and
swear that Horgan gave Mrs. Sulver
the tip, assuring her that it could not
go wrong and that she was certain
to make a profit of many thousand
dollars
The impeached governor hopes to
establish that at the time Horgan was
living at his home he was in constant
communication with Murphy and that
the market tip came through him from
Murphy. Sul2er recently said that he
has learned that during the time Hor-
gan was living as member of his
family he was on intimate terms with
Murphy.
