SUICIDE F E A R E D.
Woman Came Here Last September
TO Establish Residence in Order
That Divorce Might be Obtained.

Jumping from fourth-story front
window of the rOoming house at 141S
Pennsylvania avenue, northwest,
Washington about 4 O'Clock this
morning, Mrs. Annie Herman, thirty
five years old, who since last Sep
tember has been resident of Alex
andria, having room at the resi-
dence of B. E. Smith, deputy city
at 907 Cameron street, in
Cured injuries from which she died
several hours later in Emergency
Hospital.
The woman was fully dressed, and
although no one saw her when she
plunged to her death, the fact that
she struck the sidewalk several feet
from the building indicated that she
had stood on the sill and jumped to-
ward the street.
Mrs. Herman was employed as a
maid at the New Willard and had
been Ewing at the house about three
weeks. She occupied room with
Miss Mary Williams, another maid.
Miss Williams was awakened by a
scream. Getting up ana looking out
the window, she saw her roommate
lying on the sidewalk, forty feet be-
low. She notified the landlady and
the two women hastily put on some
clothing and ran to the street.
In the meanwhile a pedestrian hai
run to the F!orentine Cafe, just a
few doors below, and told Fred Wig
gington, who is employed in the
place at night, to telephone the
Emergency Hospital.
1t was found she had broken her
right arm alnd left leg, and was also
suffering rom probable fracture of
the skull.
Mrs. Herman was employed at the
Shoreham until about a month ago
when she went to the Willard.
Extending out from the second floor
of the building is a balcony on which
the woman would probably have
landed had she fallen, and not jump
ed, from the window.
Mrs. Herman, has been a resident
of Alexandria since last September.
At that time she came here and took a
room at the residence of Smith, dep
Iuty sergeant sergeant. Shortly after
her arrival here she told Mr.. Smith
that she intended making her home
in Alexandria for year in order
that she might become Virginia
icitizen and be enabled to secure a di-
,vorce from her husband who lived in
Washington. She spent but little
time here in Alexandria and had few
friends.
When Mrs. Smith was notified of
Mrs. Herman's death, at the same
moment, she received a postal card
from the dead woman mailed in
Washington at 6 o'clock last night
telling her to bring over to Washing
ton fhis morning a young
woman for whom she had secured a
position in one of the Washington
hotels.

Some Anxiety Felt by Friends Of stef-
ansson For Polar Expedition
Seattle. Wash. Nov. 1s.-While some
anxiety has been felt of late for the
safety Of vilhjalmur Stefansson and
the Canadian Arctic exploration expe-
dition, which he led into the frozen
north some months ago.. It was said
here today that nothing had been
heard recently that indicated disaster
to the party
The three ships carrying the navi-
gators and scientist, the whalers, Kar-
LUX and Belvedere, and the steam
schooner. Mary Sachs, were last re-
ported by Capt. John Backland, whose
own vessel was lost IN the ice at Point
Barrow in August, Backland said
Stefansson's boats had found lead In
the ice east Of Point Barrow and
steamed away for the northeast before
he started for Seattle. Nothing has
been seen or heard Of him since he
dropped from view at the lookout sta
ton at that point.
The supposition here among those
familiar with Stefansson's plans, say
his ships are frozen in. It is possible
that they have been crushed as they
have not been built to prevent pres
sure, but Stefansson will prepare to
take to the ice in that event, and there
is no more reason to feel anxiety Tor

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
TEMPORARILY HALTs WORK
Today May See Conclusion Of Nesotia-

of Embargo on Arms.

Nogales. Sonora, Nov. ia re-
newal Of an exchange Of views be-
tween William Bayard Hale, on behalf
Of President Wilson. and venustiano
Carranza, chief Of the Mexican con-
stitutionalists, was expected some time
today. despite rumors to the contrary.
Hale's negotiations yesterday with
Francisco Escudero. Carranza's min
lister Of foreign relations. were said to
have brought a slight difference of
opinion that might deadlock diplomatic
exchanges. No intimation Of the ma
ture Of these differences has been given
by either side.
1t was apparent, however, that 1t
was an important one and until the
information was given at constitution
altst headquarters that Hale and Car
rama would again meet today there
was some doubt that there would be
another conference.
Negotiations Near Close.
Several officials expressed the belief
that today might see the conclusion Of
the negotiations between President
Wilson's envoy and the constitutional
lists, but no opinions were voiced as to
what the definite result Of the confer
ence would be.
Much interest was expressed here to-
day in Escudero's plain declaration Of
last night that the lifting Of the em-
barge by the United States government
on the expectation OF arms and am
munition was no longer viewed as es-
sential to the success of the constitu-
tionalist movement.
The victories over the Huerta forces
at Juarez and elsewhere were believed
to have caused the statement.
