The administration is waiting to
hear further from John Lind, while
Lind is apparently waiting to hear
FROM Washington.
Despite the reports that Huerta has
rejected mediation, the report gained
credence today IN diplomatic circles
here that Huerta regards the plan as
never having been automatically pre-
scented to him. He contends that fall
ure to recognize him makes It impos-
sible for him to receive suggestions
from the United States
That Huerta IS willing to continue
quasi-officiat conferences is regarded
as hopeful sign. Wilson and Bryan
are considering another conference
with the senate foreign relations com.
nnttee to formulate new plans
Indmations are contained in ProYis-
ional Huerta's reply to tae American
note presented by John Lind that
President Wilson Is not backed up by
congress or the American people in
his stand against recognition OF the
Huerta administration
Referring to the attacks on the
Washington administration by mem-
hers Of congress pointing to the offle-
ial recommendations Of Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson. advising recognf.

be recognized. He holds that the
Democratic party's power IS tempo

his government is q partisan question
IN the United States He intimates
that he reaches his conclusion on pri
vate adyiees from Washington.
This information was obtained Wed

Down in the bottom of the old
Valise was a Three-cornered bit of
paper-a scrap that fitted the torn
draft found in the express car!
Another little thing the criminal
had overlooked.
Some one who had been on the
robbed train had Travelled back from
Davenport with Conductor Danforth
and Brakeman Schwartz.
Every passenger on the train that
brought the Valise in from Davenport
was hunted up and questioned. The
very last one, found after weeks of
search, remembered seeing Schwartz
come out of the Mushroom just be-
fore the valise was found in there.
In the meantime, the Rock Island.
Robbery had become almost a ma
tional mystery.
But the detectives decided to
shadow Schwartz!
When he got leave of absence to-
go east, they followed him-and
noted the $50 and S10O bills he spent.
They uneaTthed the secret of the wife
and child he had left in Philadelphia
when he married another woman in
Chicago. Finally he was arrested,
charged with bigamy, and, on giving
bail, was fatty accused of murder
and Te-arrested.
His Chicago wife, under PRESSURE,
admitted that he had found" $4,000
of the stolen money.
you've put a rope around my
neck" he exclaimed when she told
him what she had admitted. They
did not know that witnesses were
hiding where their conversation
could be heard-there were no dicto-
graphs in that day. Where did you,
hide the coat you cut the mask out
OFF," he finally demanded of her.
