A large part Of the
discredit In the public

to frauds perpetrated

readiness to accept ad-
vertisements which

DEADLY CHARGE Of DYNAMITE
NEW YORK MAYOR THE INTEND.
ED VICTIM.
Charge Was Sufficient to Have Wreck.
ed City HaIl-Gaynor
Not Affected.

New York, Aug. pa deadly
charge of Cynamite-three whole 10
inch sticks and two halves, with a
nea Mayor Gaynor's office windows
in the City hall. The bureau of COM
bustibles found that the explosive was
40 per cent dynamite, the regulation
blasting proportion, and the amount
found, if exploded, would have wreck
ed the City hall.
The mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by a citi-
zen passing through City Hall park.
Mr.. Gaynor evinced little interest
when told of the eplosive's proximity
and remained apparently undisturbed
at his desk while the police drew a
Gordon about the dynamite to keep
back an excited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would
make no statement regarding the pos
sible connection between any previous
threat by mail and the dynamite. 1t
is just three years ago that he was
shot in the neck by a so-called crank.
The dynamite lay or a basement
door in a concrete moat or areaway,
within 60 feet of the mayors win
dow. The bureau of combustibles ex-
perts state hat the only thing which
prevented a disastrous explosion was
the presence of a strip of cotton wool
wound so tightly about the base of
the fuse hat a spark could not reach
the detonator.

Gaynor was placed in the list for re-
election on an Independent ticket by
his friends. They asserted emphat-
ically that he would run.
Announcement TO this effect was
made by Louis Goodman. president of
the East Side Gaynor association, after
Mr.. Goodman had called on Mayor Gay
nor at the city hall. Prior TO Mr..
Goodman's visit, Mayor Gaynor issued
a statement indicating his willingness
to run for reelection.

Physical Ailments Cause Shooting.

New York, Aug. 25.-Ruth Hamilton,
the 1~7-year-old Boston girl, who re-
ceived a bullet wound near the heart
when she and Charles Rich, aged 20,
tried to carry out a death pact We'd
nesday midnight, was bemoaning the
fact before she died that her wooer
had NOT ended her life, too. AS she
lay in st. Johns hospital, semi-con-
scious, she called to her dead lover
and said: Il want to die and join you"
1t came out that the motive for the
death pact was the girls worry over
heart disease and a recent injury
which Rich sustained.

or the six counts in the indictment.
the jury found a verdict Of GUILTY on
the first four. Each count carrie a
maximum penalty Of five years and a
minimum of one year in a federal pom
itentiary. Diggs, his wife. father.
mother and his three aunts. Mrs.
Drew Caminetti and Mrs. Anthony
Caminetti, were in court. waiting the
verdict.
Diggs obviously was distressed and
his wife showed the tension she was
under. The questions Of the foreman
clearly fOreshadowing the coming YER
dict, gave them time to steel them
selves for the shock, and there was
no demonstration when the expected
blow fell.
The case won national prominence
when United States District Attorney
John l.. McNab resigned. charging
that the trial had been delayed by 20
litical influence and made public his
resignation in an open letter to Presi-
dent Wilson.
Nine ballots were taken by the
jury and from the first the jurors
were unanimous for conviction on the
first four counts. but on the fifth.

ing, advising and inducing Marsha
Warrington to go from Sacramento
to Reno for immoral purposes, and
on the sixth, charging the same Of
Tense with respect to Lola Norris,
they We're as obstinately disagreed.
With reference to Marsha Warning
ton. the vote stood seven for acquit-
tai and five for conviction for the
nine consecutive ballots. With ref
erence to Lola Norris the vote stood
10 for conviction and two for acquit-
tai, likewise for the nine consecutive
ballots. The difference in attitude be-
tween the two girls is explained by
the fact that the jury considered Mar
sha Warrington the more forward of
the two.
Sentence will be pronounced a
week from Tuesday, Sept. 2. Judge
Van Fleet set the bail at $4,000 on
each count. making $40, 000 in all. An
appeal will be taken.

HUERTA LIKELY To
RECONSIDER PLANS
RUMOREO IN WASHINGTON THAT
REJECTION OF U. S. PEACE
PROPOSALS NOT FINAL.
UNTIL TUESDAY TO DECIDE
Wilson viii Not Deliver Speech Be
fore Then-This Believed to Al
low Time for Action of
Mexicans.

Washington, Aug. 25.-On the heels
Of the report hat the Huerta admins.
tration in Mexico was nearing a crisis,
financially, came the rumor to official
Washington that the Mexican presi
dent may reconsider his rejection of
the American proposals to restore
peace in Mexico and arrange a new
basis for negotiation with the United
States before Tuesday.
Should the Huerta government de-
eide to enter into a new basis of dis
cussion, President Wilson, in all prob
ability, will not read his message to
both houses Of congress Tuesday, as
he intended.
Adjournment Till Tuesday.
The president made no effort to pre-
vent the house from adjourning until
Tuesday. This was interpreted in Of
fetal circles as meaning that the
United States practically had given
the IIuerta government until Tuesday
to make up its mind as to what it
would do.
1t is reiterated that the United
States will continue 10 insist upon the
resignation Of Provisional President
Huerta, or al announcement of his in
tention to do so. as well as his elm
ination from the presidential race in
the subsequent election.
European Pressure at Work.
European diplomatic pressure, it is
known here, is quietly at work in
Mexico City in an effort to convince
Huerta officials that the policy of the
United States is being approved
abroad. The failure of the Huerta
government to obtain funds abroad.
through the failure of the recognition
Of the United States, is pointed to by
the diplomats as likely to continue,
pending a more respectful considera-
ton Of the American proposals. 1t
Is learned also from authoritative
sources that the Huerta government
is facing a mutinous army, dissatis-
fed because no pay has been forth
coming for weeks.
Fifty Mexican bandits were eXecut-
ed for the murder of one German sub
ject, according to adyices TO the state
department. The Germans name was
not given. The murder occurred near
Mexico City. A force Of federal sol
diers We're sent out and rounded up
the robbers.
Safe at SaltilIo.
Americans at Saltillo we're reported
to be safe.
Curt warning TO both the Huerta
and constituencies commanders at
La Boquilla, Chihuahua. Mexico. that
the United States will hold them per-
s~onally responsible for any violence
against Americans by anyone claim
ing civil or military authority" was
sent by Secretary Bryan through
American Consul Letcher at Chihua-
hua City.
