BRYAN AND TOXIC STALLED
Unable to Agree in California
Land Dispute.
LErom The Trlbune Rureau. ]

Washington. Dec. 6.-The negotia-
tions between the United States and
japan over the California land dispute
seem 10 have sunk TO state of torpor,
and. according to information CLEANED
to-day. the reason for it is that there
is virtually a deadlock between the
state Department and the Foreign Of
flee I'm Toxic.
Notes have been exchanged several
times. but no solution has been reached.
For several months the japanese AM
bassador was constantly at the State
Department. Now he drops around
only occasionally, and active negotia-
tons are obviously at an end, for the
time being. at least.
The Secretary Of State, however, has
had little time to devote to the Japan
csc matter on account of the Mexican
situation. When MeXico's troubles are
abated ii is probable that he will renew
active work with the japanese Ambas-
sador and possibly some solution Will
be reached.

Lakewood. n. j.. Dec 6.-Dr Myron L.
Scudder, of New York city in the maj
session of the annual meeting OF the
New Jersey Sanitary Association, to-
dav electrified the more orthodox OF his
$50 hearers by promulgating the belief
that in a decade or so ministers or the
Gospel would after their sermons lay
aside their vestments and be found UNI
hiring Sunday baseball games.
His paper on the necessity OF open
schools and Fairgrounds was one of the
striking features Of the meeting. He
said he was absolutely convinced that
orderly outdoor sports on Sunday were
proper, and expressed the opinion that
the Church and other religious institu-
tions would in the near future not only
sanction but promote them.
The following officers were electeds
President, DR.. j. Brognard Belts, Of
Plainfield: first president, Clyde
Potts, of Morristown; second vice-pres-
ident. George f. Mclaughlin, of Jersey

A bag containing $1,000 in $1,000
bills and jewelry worth double that
amount lay on the floor in sight of hun

Thomas j. Curtin. head passenger

Then it's contents became known.
Just before II o'clock woman hur-
ried i'm through the main entrance OF
the station, accompanied by maid
and two buffers, all heavily laden
with luggage and fur coats. The
woman asked curtin when and from
what track the Chicago and Cincinnati
Limited departed. He directed her to
the station platform. Having several
minutes to wait, the woman ordered
the luggage To be set down near an un-
used entrance to the platform which
was barred with an iron gate.
Some attention was directed to the
marty. owing To the woman being
dressed in an expensive travelling
gown and the costly furs which all car
ried. as well as the number OF their
suitcases and travelling bags.
AS soon as the train was made up

Curtin saw the bag, which lay where
the party had been standing. 1t was
about twelve inches long and six inches

startled at what met his gaze. on the
bottom, beneath jewel case, lay the

FLORENCE SCHENCK
ON HER DEATHBED
Virginia Beauty Ending Rapid
Seventeen Career in
SanatOrium.

Miss Florence Rosser Schenck, the
Virginia beauty, who recently brought
suit against Charles H. Wilson, A. G..
Vanderbilts stable manager, for 500
900 for breach of promise. is dying in
Miss Alston's sanatorium, No. 2G West
Glst street. DR.. league said last night
ii was barely possible that she would
survive until this morning.
She underwent an operation on Fri
day night for the removal of tumor
under her heart. Professor ID. 4. Nc
Auliffe performed the operation. which
she had put of for several months. on
her return from Europe in May, 1912,
she was advised TO submit TO the knife,
but she then believed that this was not
necessary.
Miss Schenck is twenty-five years
old. In the last seven years she has
led a life that touched the extremes.
The daughter of DR.. Powhatan S.
SChenck, of Norfolk, Va, formerly
and granddaughter of a former Gov
ernor Of Virginia, she was only eighteen
when she decided that Norfolk was too
dull a town for one OF her tempera-
ment. She was engaged TO be married.
but she broke the engagement and
came to this city.
At a dinner she met Wilson. She
said she was infatuated at once. They
went around together though Wilson
was then married, and then they jour
neyed 10 Europe. When they returned
in 1907 on the same boat they were
rot on friendly terms. Miss Schenck
said Wilson had been married to her;
| he denied II. He. refused 10 do any
/ thing for her, though she said she had
her aid. She did not ask for help from
her father, for he had thrown her off.
She did not remain here long She
was next heard Of in Paris, where her
| excesses made her conspicuous. She
was twice arrested for getting into diff
! ficulties with cabmen, and though ef-
| forts were made to reform her by com
| hitting her TO sanOtariums she did not
/ appreciate the attention, escaping from
each hospital to which she was sent.
| Last month, when she brought suit
I for breach Of promise, she stated she
| had been married to Wilson in 1908,
/ though her original declaration was
/ that 1907 was the year.

Close to Recognition.

In interning the soldiers and in the
treatment accorded the wounded the
government is pursuing the same
course as applied To the wounded and
dying soldiers Of the Constitutionalist
forces. There is ground for the view
that the adoption Of this policy comes
nearer to an actual recognition OF the
Constitutionalists az belligerents than
anything that has thus far been done.
According TO reports received at the
State Department there are indications
at Acapulco that Costa Chica, "A leader
OF local fame, is in arms against the
government.
