SAYS He WAS NOT SANE
THINKS ILL HEALTH AND POOR
BUSINESS UNBALANCED HIS
REASON
TOLD WANDERING STORY
THE CINCINNATI MAN FIRST DE-
cLARED A SUICIDE PACT
EXISTED

Chicago, Oct. William G. Ellis
confessed at the inquest this after
noon to the murder of his wife here
late Wednesday night He said his
wife was "the most virtuous woman"
in the world, and that he must have
been crazy over his health and bust,
ness troubles.
The confession came dramatically
shortly after the opening Of the after
noon session. Ellis, who had insisted
to the police that there was suicide
pact, stood up as he confessed to the
murder He seemed to have regain
ed possession Of himself and atoned
for the previous suspicion that he
had cast on his wife's acquaintance
with Canadian merchant.
His voice strengthened perceptibly
as he asserted that she had been a
perfect wife and mother and that her
conduct had been above criticism.
Ellis fired four shots into her body
and gashed her throat. He then shot
himself and cut his own throat and
wrists. He then lay down by her
side, hugging her lifeless form and
lSissing her lips until morning while
the warmth left her body ard her
form became rigid. Thus for hours
he made love to the shell Of the
woman he had slain.
Before his testimony Ellis was Civ
en- the usual warming that anything
be misht- say would be used against
him. He spoke with some difficulty,
and his weakness became SO appar-
ent that he was requested to sit down
while being questioned.
The throat of Mrs. William Ellis Of
Cincinnati was cut after she was
dead from bullet wounds, according
to the testimony Of Coroner's Physi-
clan Springer at the inquest today.
Mr.. Ellis, who was found in hotel
room here yesterday with his wife's
body, his own throat and wrist slash
ed and a slight wound IN his own
chest listened 10 the evidence while
waiting to testify.
In a statement to the police soon
after the tragedy was discovered Ellis
said that his wife had confessed to
him Wednesday evening is. hours be-
fore her death, that she was in love
with a young man named Caldwell
she had met last summer in Brantford,
Canada. Because Of this confession
and his own business reverses, Ellis
said he and his wife had agreed that
life was not worth living and had de-
cided to commit suicide together.

carranza Expects Recognition


Nogales, Sonora, Mex, Oct. IL
Confident that good news for the
constitutionalist cause will come
soon, from Washington, General We
nustiano Carranza, leader of the re-
yolutionary movement in northern
Mexico, announced today he would
remain here to maintain communica-
tion with the American capital.
Carranza's aides and the more
prominent military leaders Of the
constitutionalists assert the rebel
chieftain has received messages from
President Woodrow Wilson regarding
the situation in Mexico.
Among revolutionary sympathizers
there is considerable expectation that
the American government soon will
extend recognition to the constitutions
alist movement.
General Felipe Angeles, regarded
as one of the strongest men identi-
fled with the anti-Huerta movement,
arrived today from Europe to become
secretary Of war.
Carranza received another long
MESSAGE in English today which con-
attaches said came from
ian American official in washington.
Carranza declined to discuss it.

HUERTA PROMISES BROKEN

LONGER TO CONSIDER HIM
AS A FACTOR
DIPLOMATS WILL MEET
MEXICAN PROVISIONAL PREsI-
DENT CALLS AN iNTERNA-
TloNAL COUNCIL

Washington, Oct. l7-General Huer-
ia plans to assemble the foreign dip
lomats in Mexico City today or to-
morrow, according to the state depart
ment advices, and make statement
on the present situation No inkling
of Huerta's purpose was made known
in the dispatch.
His statement will be received here
with the keenest interest, though
administration officials do not think
that it will alter the situation. Those
closest to the administration policy
believe dealings with Huerta are prac-
tically ended and that peaceful meas
ures to compose the situation will
next be exerted in other directions.
Speculation on the possibility and
extent of dealings with the constitu-
tionalist heads has been revived by
the present situation, but brings no
definite statement from official quar-
ters.
President Wilson has from time to
time said he would welcome infor-
nation of the purposes of the consti-
tutionalists should they become sue
cessful by srms. There has been no
direct communication, but the presi-
dent is expected to be in receipt Of
information along these lines
One difficulty is that the constitu-
tionalist chiefs are in various parts
of the republic and communication is
SO slow that united action on any plan
that might be submitted would take
some time for formulation In the
meantime the administration regards
Huerta's promises for a solution by
an election as violated and is said to
feel free to hear other proposals.
The meeting of the diplomats in
Mexico City Wednesday was incon-
elusive and bound none of the partici-
pants to any definite course, accord
ing to other advices.
Official dispatches today reported
that the meeting, "called for a dis
cussion of the situation in the repub-
lic," reached no collective opinion as
to a solution of the problem. The
meeting was held at the German le-
cation, and representatives Of Great
Britain, Spain, Austria, France, Rus
sia, Norway and the United States
we're present.

HAVE HEADED THE FLYING
NAVAL FORCE

Berlin, Oct 1.-THE newest and
largest of the Zeppelin aero-war
ships, the LII was destroyed in
mid-air by an explosion at 1915 a.
clock this morning. All but one Of
the 2S military men on board, in
eluding the entire admiralty board,
were killed.
The disaster occurred just above
the main street of JohannisthaI,
while the big dirigible. 500 feet long.
was making a trial trip. preliminary
to its acceptance as flagship Of the
new German aerial navy.
The shattered hulk Of the airship.
a mass Of blazing canvas and crum-
pied aluminium, dropped 500 feet into
the public highway. Hundreds Of
persons who had been watching the
flight from parks and house-tops
rushed to the scene.
Lieutenant Baron Won Bleul Of the
Queen Augusta grenadier guards, who
was making the trip as a guest, was
the only survivor. He was badly in
jured, and his condition is critical
Many Of the bodies were So burn
cd and mangled As to be unrecogniz-
able.
The admiralty trial board consist
ed Of seven officers, including Lieu
tenant Commander Behnisch, and
Senior Lieutenant Freyer Of the Ger
man naval flying corps. The airship's
pilot was Captain Glund, a veteran
steersman in the employ Of Count
Zeppelin.
Three Officers Killed
Not only the German navy, but the
army as wen, suffered from aviation
accidents today. Three army officers
belonging to the flying corps were
killed this morning in aeroplane ac-
cidents.
Ballooning experts were unable to
establish definitely the cause Of the
catastrophe. The experts say the
catastrophe was probably due to the
collision of an explosive mixture Of
gas and air in the tunnel running in
side the airship and connecting the
three gondolas, which perhaps was
exploded BY the back-flare from car
bureter or by spark from mag
neto. This would account for the ra-
pidity Of destruction Of the balloon
The airship carried two tons Of
gasoline. Baron Won BleuI, at 2 late
hour this afternoon was still alive.
Spectators who had been watching
the impressive maneuvers Of the
LIP from below, suddenly saw the
great gas bag burst into flames and
then fall. A second or two later the
sound Of the terrific explosion reach
ed them. It was impossible for some
time TO approach the flaming dirigi-
Bile. beneath which the members Of
the crew had been crushed and

England Standing Pat

London, Oct. II. There is no like
lihood OF Great Britains recognition
OF Provisional President Huerta OF
Mexico being withdrawn at present,
as has been suggested in dispatches
from Washington, in the opinion of
British government circles.
It is admitted that something might
arise which would induce Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
to take this drastic course but it Is
pointed 'out that nothing has thus far
occurred to change the official view
that recognition of the provisional
government was the correct policy.
1t is realized here that the state of
affairs in Mexico is very bad, but
Great Britain is studlously refraining
from interfering in any way between
General Huerta and the constitution
alists.
The British government, it is de-
olared would naturally desire TO sup
port President Wilson in any action
he might take looking to peace, but
first Of all all the British interests
in Mexico must be considered, be-
cause those interests, which indude
property, bonds, and other invest
ments. amount to many millions.
Intervention on the part of the
United States would not be welcomed
by the British government. It is
feared it would lead to a long and
sanguinary war British investors
would be the heaviest losers, as they
would be unable to recoup themselves
after the war in the same way as
American would be able to do by the
annexation Of territory or by the en-
forcement of an indemnity.
Nothing has been heard from Sir
Lionel Garden, the British minister
to Mexico, in regard to the meeting
Of members of the foreign diplomatic
corps in Mexico City, and no request
has come from him for warship.
1t had been suggested here that a
British warshiD might be sent to Mex
leo, but the British foreign office is
relying on Sir Lionel Garden to ask
for one if he thinks 1t necessary Sir
