ANOTHER WOMAN
IN SCHMIDT CASE
So Inspector Faurot Announced Yes
terday in New
York.

New York, Sept. 20.--Detectives busy
on the case of Hans Schmidt, the priest
who murdered Anna Aumuller, sought
yesterday to- learn why, last April, he
photographed the death certificate of
Robert Smith, one of his pensioners,
Photographs of this certificate and of
blank forms issued by the board of
health were found in Schmidt's trunk,
leading the police to believe that the
priest either was making preparations
then to dispose of the Aumuller girl or
planned other murders. Inspector Eau
rot announced yesterday that he was
looking for another woman in the case.
The only other woman whose name has
thus far been associated with Schmidts
is known as Helen Green. The finding
of the photograph blanks caused the
detectives to continue study into the
past OF Eihst Muret, the self-styled den
fist implicated with Schmidt in counter
feiting From London came reports that
Muret had been fugitive from justice
since April 20, 1911, when he evaded
summons to answer charges of having
falsely represented himself as DIR. Ernst
Stein, a medical practitioner.

Mayor Kline Calls on the District
Attorney.

New York, Sept. l7.--Mayor Ardolph
l.. Kline told Charles S. Whitman, dis
trict attorney, Thursday, that if he had
any ideas on improving the efficiency of
the police department and would sub
NIT them to him, he, the mayor, would
see that they were carried out at once.
The mayor went further and told Mr..
Whitman that not only in police mat
tiers, but in all other matters affecting
the city, he wanted to work in harmony
with the district attorneys Office, but
that he would especially welcome recon-
mendations concerning the police.
The result of this conference between
the mayor and Mr.. Whitman is that
Rhinelander Waldo is to remain police
commissioner for the remainder of the
year, but win be expected to place into
operation at once any order concerning
administration or policy which the may
or gives. And it was an open secret
around the city hall Thursday that any
such orders that are given will originate
with Mr.. Whitman.
The only suggestion that Mr.. Whit
man had to make was that Mayor Kline
send for Alderman Henry IL. Curran,
who was chairman of the aldermanic
investigating committee, which recently
investigated the police, and go over with
him and with Emory r. Buekner, coun-
sci to the committee, the recommenda-
tions contained in the Curran report.
Mr.. Whitman told the mayor that he
had read this report and thought it
an excellent one, and believed many of
the recommendation should be put into
effect without delay.
Mayor Kline did send for Mr. Curan
later in the day and had a long talk
with him. When Mr.. Curran emerged
from the mayors Office he was in a sim
gularly happy frame of mind. He would
make no statement further than to say
that he had a pleasant chat with the
mayor and was anxious to do everything
in his power TO help him.

Clear Waterway Across the Isthmus AL

Washington, Sept. 20.--With the
opening of the Panama canal from the
Mirafores locks to the Pacific ocean,
communication also is being established
on the Atlantic side between the great
Gatun locks and the sea. This has fol-
lowed the removal of the railroad tres.
tie between the locks and the ocean.
To make the opening navigable, about
1877 900 yards of earth in the railroad
dixie must be removed, and two pipe
line sunction dredges are engaged in the
work, which should be completed by
October J..
When the work is completed, there
will remain only one obstruction to free
communication in the whole length of
the eanal---the dixie at Gamboa, which
restrains the waters of Gatun lake from
flowing into Culebra cut. A big suction
dredge now is removing the earth, and
sat that has accumulated in the bed of
the canal between this dixie and Gamboa
lake since the cut was made three years
ago, and early in October another, and

Committee Chairman Looks

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Robert
L. Owen, chairman of the Senate bank

terday apropos Of the passage by The
House Thursday of the currency bill:
"Ihe passage of the banking and cur
rency bill by the House of Representa-
tives after weeks OF debate in the Demo
cratic caucus and discussion in the
House itself argues prompt and favor
able action in the Senate.
Every student of this question will
agree on the necessity and urgency for
prompt action. 1t has been six Year,
since we had the gigantic national ca.
lamity in the panic of 1907, which led
to the creation of the monetary COM
mission and its proposed remedy upon
which the government expended out OF
the public treasury nearly 100000.
"The retiring administration, through
Franklin MacVeagh and his annual re-
port of Sept. 2, 1912, declared that the
most important fact in connection with
the banking and currency legislation was
its urgency.
"The president of the United States
appealed in person to the House and
Senate, urging them to lay aside their
personal comforts and conveniences and
perform this great duty so urgently
needed by the country, and the Senate
and House have responded in a very pa

NOT GOOD NEWS.
Return of Felix Diaz as Presidential
Candidate Disquieting.

Washington, Sept. 20.-News that
Gen, Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfrio Diaz,
had been recalled to Mexico to become
the candidate of the Huerta faction in
the coming presidential election, aroused
much interest here in official circles.
The general feeling was that the return
Of Diaz meant compliance with Presi-
dent Wilson's principal demand, that
General Huerta should not be a candi-
date. So far as auguring an era of
peace, however, the outlook was de-
scribed as discouraging.
While the American government is on
record with a PROMISE to extend recog-
milton to the government set up by a
legal and free election, it is said to be
practically certain that the United
States would not hasten to recognize
Diaz if he were elected. but would wait,
in accordance with the presidents of
President Hayes administration, to de-
termine whether the resulting govern.
ment was strong enough to maintain
peace and guarantee international rela-
tions.
