MRS. SD[zER AS
VICTIM OF PLOT.
How Her Husband Hopes to
Obtain vindlcation.
TAMMANY's HAND SHOWN.
II is Charged That q Conspiracy Was
Flatched BY Wall Street and Tam
many Hall TO Get Governor
Sulxer Entangled.

Albany, N. Y.--That conspiracy was
Matched by Wall street and Tammany
Hall to get Governor Sulzer hopeless
~ entsngled and in their clutches a
conspiracy with woman as its UNI
whiting victim--will be charged as q
basis Of the defense Of the impeached
Governor If the Impeachment comes
to trial
Sulzer and his counsel confidently
hope that it will not. They believe
the action of the assembly will be de-
clared unconstitutional. and that the
impeachment court viii never as
semble.
The high points of the conspiracy
story upon which Sulzer has built
his hopes Of complete vindication
are these:
l. That while Sulzer was away cam
paigning, Mathew T. Horgan, who was
living at the Sulzer home and keeping
Charles F. Murphy informed of events,
gave Mrs. Sulzer the tip on big
Four"
2. At that time Sulzer was in debt
$4,000 and Mrs. Sulzer saw an OPP
portunity to rehabilitate the family
finances by acting on this market tip.
She was assured it could not go wrong.
8. Campaign contributions had been
coming in large amounts and she took
the checks, regarding her act as a
legitimate temporary loan, and bought
stocks.
A. She was assured there would be
an immediate and sensational rise in
the price Of Big Four and she could
take her profits and reimburse the
campaign fund.
5. That her bank books and memo
randa of these transactions were
stolen SO she would be unable to fur
nish the proof of her acts, If ever
called upon to do so.
It is claimed that Louis A. Sarecky.
Suffers private secretary, had full
knowledge of all these transactions
and aided Mrs. Sulzer in carrying out
her plan to rehabilitate her husbands
finances. He is looked on by the Sui
ger defense to take the stand and
swear that Morgan gave Mrs. Sulver
the tip. assuring her that it could not
go wrong and that she was certain
to make profit Of many thousand
dollars,
The impeached governor hopes to
establish that at the time Morgan was
living at his home he was in constant
communication with Murphy and that
the market tip came through him from
Murphy. Sulzer recently said that he
has learned that during the time Hor-
gan was living as a member of his
family he was on intimate terms with
Murphy.

Ill T|MATUM FROM
PRESIDENT HUERTA'
Sets Time Limit for Recognition
Of His Administration.
LIMBS MISSION a FAILURE.
All Proffers OF Mediation Or Any
Similar Suggestion From For
eign Government Refused ~
The Mexican Government.

Mexico General Huerta has
defied the United States. His answer
to the propositions Of President VIII
son was made known to John Lind,
the Presidents personal represents
tive Monday.
1t refuses all proffers of mediation
or any similar suggestion from a
foreign government"
Mr.. Lind has forwarded Huerta's
reply to Washington and will take no
further action until he gets instruc-
tions from the American State Depart
ment.
The United States government has
been given until midnight Tuesday by
President Huerta to recognize his adj
ministration, it is officially stated.
The government is not specific in
the public announcement as to what
course then will be pursued, but it is
understood that it means the sever
ing of all relations between the two
countries.
President Huerta, in his reply, told
the United States that he would toler-
ate no interference. even though that
interference might be characterized as
friendly mediation. The character of
the reply of Washington to President
Huerta's note will determine the next
action Of the international drama.
President Huerta's failure to live
up to what was regarded as the spirit
Of his recent note, in which he said
MIR. Lind would be regarded as persona
mon grata If he did not bring to Mex
leo proper credentials, together with
recognition of the republic by the
United States, had caused the public
to believe there was possibility that
ne intended to receive with favor, in
part at least. the suggestions of the
Washington administration.
It appears, however, that the Next
can governments unoficial reception
of Mr.. Lind by Minister of Foreign At
fairs Gamboa, and the acceptance by
the foreign secretary of Mr.. Lind's
preliminary note, was merely an ex-
ample Of international courtesy, due,
perhaps, to desire OF President
Huerta to make clear his record in
developing events. Those most init.
mate with Huerta expressed no sur.
prise In declaring that in their opin-
ion Huerta had voiced his sentiments
fully and unalterably when he stated
publicly more than week ago that he
would book no interference in the
work Of pacifying Mexico.
It is believed here that President
Huerta's attitude is likely to result in
ahe early adoption of policy Of abso.
aute non-interference on the part OF
the United States government, which
probably will involve the lifting of the
embargo against the Importation Of
arms and ammunition by the rebels.

FIVE AID IN HIS FLIGHT.
Fugitive Believed To Have Boarded
Yacht For Europe-Police
Guard Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw.

New YOrk.Harry X. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, escaped from the
State Hospital for the Criminal Insane
at Matteawan, Sunday morning.
The vigilance of thousands Of po-
licemen and detectives In New York
and neighboring States have failed to
furnish clue to his whereabouts.
Darling past an attendant who had
just opened the gate to the asylum
grounds for the milkman to enter,
Thaw leaped into six-cylinder auto
mobile. which stood throbbing opposite
the entrance, and disappeared in a
whirl of wind and dust in the direc-
tion of the Connecticut State line A
second automobile followed him.
In his powerful car Thaw swept
through the hamlet Of StormviIle, 10
miles away, at 60 miles an hour, head
ing for Connecticut.
DR.. r. r. G. Kieb. the hospital head.
believes Thaw fed to some spot on
the shore of Long Island Sound and
boarded a yacht for Europe.
A reward Of $500 has been offered
by DIR. Kieb for Thaw,,s apprehension.
Thaw's former counsel and officials
of the State Hospital Commission ez-
pressed the opinion that Thaw would
be free man, once outside the States
boundaries. They thought he could
not be brought back to New York by
extradition unless he were legally ad-
judged insane In the State to which he
fed.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the fugi-
tives aged mother, manifested delight
at his success.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, playing
at New York theatre, protested to
be terrorized and said she feared he
would attempt to execute his threat to
kill her.
Howard H. Barnum, the asylum at
tendant who witnessed Thaw's sue
cessful break for liberty, was locked
up in the county Jail on a charge of
aiding Thaw in his escape.
The mix-up in Albany over the Gov
ernorship is regarded as favorable to
Thaw's prospects Of remaining long
out of the State, even If he should be
apprehended and extradition papers
issued for his return.

This is now under careful considera-
ton, fact regarded as of the utmost
promise for the ultimate success of
the negotiations.
It Is understood that while there is
nothing in these views in the nature
of demand for the withdrawal of
General Huerta from the presidency
or forlthe arbitrary fixing of the date
for general election, there is never
theless a distinct intimation of the
ADMINISTRATOR belief that some con-
cession should be made by the Huerta
government to terminate the present
insurrection, and to insure the ascend
ency of truly popular government.
II these fundamentals are accepted
the way will be open for conferences
to define the means by which the de-
sired results could be brought about.

Juneau, Alaska. twenty-five or

of the crew Of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company's steamer State of Cali
fornia persisted Sunday morning in
Gambler Bay, 80 miles south Of juneau,
when the vessel struck an uncharted
rock and sank in three minutes with
many passengers imprisoned in their
staterooms.
The vessel was going at full speed
when she struck the reef and great
portion of the ships bottom was torn
on, letting in a food Of water, which
quickly engulfed the boat.
The purser lost all OF his records
and it is not possible to give com
plete list Of the missing.
Dangerous Waters.
Gambler Bay is accounted by
mariners one Of the most dangerous
stretches of water in Alaska. The bay
had never been navigated by large
vessels until last year, and, it is said
has never been oficially surveyed.
There Is reef that must be skirted
for q long distance and big boats have
very little room in which to turn.

The beautiful old building in Varick

already, and Trinity Corporation can
hardly claim the credit for It's sur.

newspapers again which have widely
advertised those recent plans for
street improvements to meet new con-
ditions in the region Of west side

more the sacrifice Of st. Johns rather
than. for instance, any part Of the
ugly pile of brick across the way-the

frequented it has moved far uptown,

AN INDEMNITY
TO JAPANESE
Toxic Story Concerning the
California Dispute.
UNCLE SAM SAID TO FAVOR
Japan Desires Permanent Friendly
Relations With This Country and
4 Seeks a Fundamental Solution
OF the Difficulty.

Toxic, Japan.-It was announced
here that the United States has inti-
mated readiness to favor in principle
the payment Of an indemnity to Japan
csc subjects who have been affected
by the California alien land owner
ship legislation. The United States
has also recognized the right OF Japan
to adopt measure similar to the
California bill.
From limitations given in official
circles it appears unlikely that Japan
will adopt either idea. What Japan
desires is permanent friendly relations
with the United States and, therefore,
she seeks a fundamental solution of
the difficulty. Ii the United States has
no solution to offer 1t is stated, Japan
will probably allow the matter to re-
main as grievance.
The public feeling of humiliation in
this connection continues to be famed
by infiammatory comments in the
newspapers. The Hochi Shimbun,
which is often sensational, urges i
object lesson to the United States
the expulsion of American mission
aries from Korea on the ground that
they are undesirable aliens.
Washington. - While the officials
here consistently adhere to their re-
fusal to make any public statement
concerning the negotiations between
Japan and the United States regard
ing the California alien land law, 1t is
understood, that in It's efforts to deal
fairly with the Japanese government
the State Department had indicated a
purpose to facilitate any judicial pro
ceedings that may be brought to test
the legislation
The proposal, it is said. does not go
so far as that made by President
Roosevelt in the Japanese school
cases, where the United States district
attorney was charged to attack the
legality Of the action Of the San Fran
cisco school board, but does commit
the United States to the extension Of
all reasonable aid in the prosecution
of test cases.
A suggestion that Japanese resi-
dents in California who may suffer
from the application OF the alien land
act be Unidentified has been made ON
account of the precedent established
in the case of the Chinese who were
killed at Rock Springs. Wyo., years
ago and the Italians who were lynch
ed in New Orleans during the Malta
riots.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
United States probably would guar
antee Japanese landowners against
loss only in the event that they were
not properly compensated for prop
erty they we're obliged to dispose of
under the Webb Bloodgood act.
