Huerta's Threat is Called
Immediately BY State
Department
EXHIBITS DEFIANCE
Hnerta Says He Will Demand With
drawal OF the Warships.-
Bryan Still Confident.

Washington, Sept. 16-The United
States will not withdraw it's warships
from Mexican waters. They will be
kept there as long as there exists the
necessity for their presence. Any
demand from General Huerta for
their withdrawal will be ignored.
This was the positive declaration
made tonight by officials of the State
Department, commenting on the
statement of Huerta in his message
that he will probably demand within
a short time that the American war
vessels be recalled from his harbor.
After close analysis by administra-
tioa officials they declared that
Huerta's message carried a defiant
declaration of his readiness for war
I in these words
Mexico now has an army of 100,-
the ties of warmest patriotism and
all are ready at moments notice
to rise to the defense of the country"
This is The first time that Huerta
personally has voiced his defiance Of
the United States, his communica-
lions hitherto having been confined
to statements issued by members Of
his cabinet and often subsequently
denied by the provisional president.
Secretary of State Bryan refused
to comment on Huerta's message and
went lecturing at Staunton, w. Va.
Other officials, however, declare that
there is no possibility of withdraw
ing the American warships and
pointed out these four potent rea-
sons why our vessels should be kept
in Mexican waters:
First.-That, although great
many Americans have left Mexico.
thousands would remain and humid
reds of millions of dollars worth OF
American property would be left at
the mercy of the brigandage, which
Huerta is unable to suppress.
second.-That the property remain
ing in Mexico is as much subject to
the protection of the American army
and navy as are the lives of Amer
lean citizens.
Third.-The United States with it's
ships and army, has undertaken to
protect the lives and property Of the
citizens of England, France, Spain
and the rest of the world in Mexico.
Fourth.-That if the United States
should withdraw it's vessels, foreign
nations would be obliged to send
squadrons of their warships to Mexi-
can ports.

A CRIMINAL
MASTER mind
Rev. Hans Schmidt Led Dual
Life of Priest and
Criminal.
DENTIST IMPLICATED
Resemblance SO Perfect That New
New York Police Believe He
is Schmidt's Brother.

New York, Sept. 6-Developments
late tonight in the case of the Rev
Hans Schmidt, confessed murderer OF
Anna Aumuller, convinced the auth
critics that the priest, whose crime
has startled the entire country, has
for years enacted the role of GRIMM
al master mind.
Evidence secured by the police
shows that Schmidt has for years liv-
ed the dual life of priest and GRIMM
al. He was clever enough to qualify
for the priesthood, has many times
proven himself to be a forger OF re-
markable cunning. showed his skill as
an artist in copying engravings for
counterfeit ten dollar and twenty dol
lar bills, possessed sufficient mechani-
cal ability to coin the counterfeit cur
rency and is now known to have prac-
ticed certain branches of medicine,
both in Germany and the United
States.
The two features of the case which
BATTLE the authorities more than any
other at present are the question of
Schmidt's sanity and the remarkable
physical resemblance of Dr. Ernest
Muret, the dentist, who was arrested
early today in connection with the
Schmidt case. Until late hour to-
day Inspector Faurot, in charge of the
investigation of the murder case, was
convinced that Schmidt and Muret
were either brothers or close relation.
After a long examination of both pris-
oners, however, the inspector an
nounced tonight that he believed the
great resemblance to be only a coin
cidence. Muret was araigned in the
Harlem court today, charged with hav-
ing loaded weapon in his possession
in violation of the Sullivan law. He
was held in $4,000 bail, which he was
unable to furnish. Bertha Zech, who
said she acted as servant in Murets
dental office and who was arrested at
the same time, was released after Mu-
ret had been held in bail.
A COunterfeiting Charge.
Chief William ]. Flynn, of the Sc
cret Service, arrived here today and
when informed of the find made by the
police when they raided flat rented
by Schmidt and Muret, announced
that he would swear out warrant
for the arrest of Muret on the charge
of counterfeiting.
When examined by the police today
Muret defied the police to connect him
with the murder of the Aumuller girl
or to show that he was aware that
Schmidt had killed his sweetheart A
message received in New York tonight
from Munich, Germany, stated that
Schmidt was arrested there in 1908
and had been involved in number OF
shady transactions there.
1t was also stated that he had at"
tempted to practice medicine under

THAW GETTING
NEARER Freedom
Judge Aldrich in Federal
Court Rules Favorably to
Matteawan Fugitive
HIS HEARING TODAY
View York May BE Put i'm the Attitude
Of Proving its Insane
Prisoner Sane.

Littleton, n. H.. Sept 16.-Owing to
an unique condition brought about by
the decision of Judge Aldrich in the
| United States District Court today
/ Harry X. Thawl is tonight nearer free
| dom than at any time since he shot
Stanford White. Judge Aldrich grant
ed the petition Of the Thaw attor-
neys to suspend the hearing on the
federal habeas corpus writ until aft
er Governor Felker has held the ex-
tradition hearing next Tuesday.
The terms of Judge Aldrich's decis-
ion are such that even should Cover
nor ,Felker decide to sign the eXtradi-
ton warrant in the Thaw case it will
first be necessary for William Travers
Jerome, special deputy attorney gem
eral for New York, to prove Thaw
sane before the federal judge will al
low the prisoner to leave tho custody
of the federal officers.
The decision of the district court is:
That Thaw remain in the joint Gus
tody of the federal officers and the
sheriff until after tie hearing before
the district court is resumed.
That Jerome may ask Governor
Felker to eA <1adite Thaw on the
charge of conspiracy.
That if the governor does extradite
Thaw it will be necessary for Jerome
to show the United States court how
any insane person can commit a
crime.
1t then becomes apparent that it
will be necessary for New York state
to prove Thaw sane before being al
lowed the custody of the prisoner by
the federal court. In this event New
York state would have nothing on
which to hold Thaw as there is no in
dictment pending against him and the
only charge which could possibly be
preferred against him is that of con-
spiracy.
While Judge Aldrich decided to sus-
pend the hearing before him until aft
err Governor Felker has rendered his
decision, the federal judge reserves
the final say for his court and
will then pass upon the question of
whether the action of the governor in
fringes upon Thaw's rights under the
constitution.
Mrs. Mary Copeley Thaw, Harry's
mother, telegraphed to Concord today,
saying that she would arrive there to-
morrow and make personal plea to
Governor Felker on behalf of her son.
Thaw will be taken to Concord to-
morrow morning and have an oppor-
tunity of seeing his mother for the
first time since he escaped from Mat
tCaWan.
