Although it is not publicly admit

not alone in the swindle, but was aid
ed by at least two other persons
other than his wife, and that they
helped him transport the body to thf
stream where it was found.
Detectives are busily engaged also
in attempting to ferret out the place
where either LaFrance or his wife
have money hidden Whether this
money is in a bank or vault is not
known, but it, is generally believed
| that several thousand dollars Of the
$4,000 secured from the United Art
isans, Modern Woodmen and Postal
Union Life Insurance company, is on
deposit IN some bank
1t is known that LaF'rance invested
something over $4,000 in the portable
sawmill and in timber lands near Co
guile. This, with $1,7O0 found when
he and Mrs. LaF'rance were arrested,
brings the total to $7,760, approxi-
mately one-half the insurance money
she received.
Possibly $4,000 was spent by them
in travelling and living expenses, leav-

telegram, it is said that G. r. Peck
of Marshfield, attorney for the Mod

the organizations swindled by the La
Frances, interviewed him at C0quille
today and he admitted his identity.
Mrs. La France had made the same
admission previously.
When the couple was captured, the
officers recovered $1,490 in cash,
which was hidden in the house. La
France was found hiding under the

MEXICO MUST
BE RECOGNIZED
Before Midnight Is Warlike u
tlmatum Delivered BY Mex
lean President to U. S.

Mexico City, Aug. 18.-The
United States government has
been given until midnight to-
night by President Huerta to re-
cognize Mexico, it is officially
stated.
The government is not specific
in the public announcement as
to what course then will be pur-
sued, but it is understood that it
means the severing of all rela-
lions between the two countries.
Senior Urrutia, minister of the
interior, made the announce
ment.
Senior Urrutia refused to give
out the text Of the correspond
ence between Mr.. Lind and the
Mexican government, but con-
firmed thefact that an exchange
Of notes had taken place. Two
notes from Mexico have been
sent to Washington. The first
was a reply to that delivered by
Mr.. Lind. This note included
the demand for recognition of
Mexico.
The second note was sent d.
rect to Washington and demand
ed that reply to the previous
note be made before midnight.
One official in discussing this
latter note said that Mexico had
reached the point where she
either must bow her head in hui
initiation before the United
States or adopt an attitude Of
Qenance.
The first contingency, he ad-
ded, was regarded as impossible.
President Huerta in his reply
told the United States that he
would tolerate no interference,
even though that interference
might be characterized as
friendly mediation. The char
acter of the reply Of Washington
to President Huerta's note will
determine the next action in
the international drama.

Cannot Enforce Act.

Little Rock, Aug. dissection
10 of the new criminal act,
which seeks to prohibit news
papers from publishing the &C.
counts Of the execution Of Grim
inals cannot be enforced because
it does not set penalty for a
violation Of the section.
Earl Kidder, representative
from Pulaski county, was the
author of the bill, and the Sec
ton is as follows:
mo newspaper or person shall
print or publish the details of
the execution of criminals under
this act. Only the fact that the
criminal was executed shall be
printed or published"
Attorney w. L. Moose held
unoficially that the section is
not enforcible because it does
not make the offense misde-
meanor and does not set the pun
ishment.
Mr.. Kidder said he understood
the act is defective because of
the clause, and that efforts
would be made to remedy it at
the next session of the legisla-
ture,
