No u. S.-Huerta Hostilities.
General Huerta last night accepted
the proposal that there be no further
hostiities between the United States
and Mexico pending the efforts of the
Intermediates to bring about an amic-
able settlement.
This was announced late last night
by Secretary Bryan after he had been
in conference for two hours with the
three South American diplomats. AT
the same time Mr.. Bryan said he al
ready formally had notified the media
tors that the American government
took it for granted" that there would
he no hostilities during the mediation
proceedings and had intended no fur
ther acts of aggression while the con-
ferences were being held.

wise concerned in the preliminaries of
Rosenthal.
The testimony of Schepps was not of
an entirely satisfactory character and
was freely criticised in the decision of
the court of appeals. For this reason,
and also because Schepps has talked
tory and highly sensational tales since
Beckers first conviction it is consid-
cred probable that the district attorney
may not call him TO the stand at the
new trial.

Confession May Be Used.
There is much speculation i'm and
out of legal circles as to the part
that "Dago Franks" confession, made
within less than two hours of his death
will play in the second trial of Becker.
The friends of the former police lieu
| tenant hold that the confession if ad-
mitted will amount to an eXculpation
of Becker as the instigator of the Ro-
| senthal murder and furthermore they
| declare that it shows the worthless
ness of the testimony given by Rose
Weber, Vallen and Schepps. On the
| other hand, District Attorney Whit
rnan does not consider the confession.
as vital to the case, either from the
standpoint of the defense or the pros
ecution. In the opinion of the District
| attorney the confession in many
ways corroborates the contention o.
the state--that there was "A conspiracy,
and that as a result of that conspiracy
the gunmen were hired To murder Ro-
Stnlldl Week III duNdllCe Oh lllt as
sassination.
Becker May Take Stand.
The second interesting point in con-
nection with the new trial is the prob
ability that Becker will take the stand
in his own defense. II is said that
the ex-police officer strongly desired to
take the stand at the first trial but was
dissuaded from doing so by his coun-
sci. If he takes the stand at the COM
ing trial he will be subjected to a Sc
we're cross examination. He will be
asked in particular to explain how he
managed to accumulate large fortune
on a slary of S2,400 year. At the
first trial IL was said the district at
torney had traced some $4,000 i'm
Bccker's accounts scattered in banks
all over the city. If Becker takes the
stand il will open the way for the state
to introduce evidence to prove that
Becker had made a business of "shak-
ing down" the gamblers and that IL
was this which had led to his personal
difficulties with Rosenthal. Under the
circumstances the district attorney be-
lieves that Becker will not dare take
the witness chair.

Des Moines. April 29zWhen Cow
ernor George w C7arke returns to Des
Moines he will probably announce the
date for the hearing OF the petition for
the release OF Frank and Nathan
Rainsbarger from Anamosa, peniten-
tiary. AS the governor is expected soon
TO be busy with the primary campaign,
st is believed that he will take up the
case of the Hardin county prisoners
on Friday or Saturday OF this week.
S. T. Waterman, Of Marshalltown,
conferred with the governor after the
board OF parole refused to recommend
the liberation Of the Rainsbargers. He
announced that the governor will hx a
date at which time both sides will be

the refusal Of the parole board to be

Sensational testimony Is expected to
be given when the evidence is placed
before the state executive. Waterman
was active in the government service

operated In Hardin county and he has

claims is sufficient to prove the Rains

knew about their plans and was said
to be about to inform the government
officials. Johnson answered an advG-
tisement which offered counterfeit
money cheap. The government agents
learned the spurious money was to be
delivered to him and this led them to
shadow johnson and hound him for
information which would lead to the
arrest Of the counterfeiters. Johnson
was found dead and the Rainsbargers
were convicted Of murder on circum-
stantial evidence, It Is safd.e
