 AT MEXICO CITY
Released by Federals When They Evacuate Saltilio-Charoed With
 Aiding the Rebels.

MEXICO CITY, May 23.-Consul General Stilliman, who represented the United States at Saltillo, and for whom the American State department has been making a thorough search through the Brazilian and French am bassadors and consular agents, to- day arrived here from the city of Saltillo, where he was held by the federals in prison on a charge of aid ing the rebels and sending informa tion regarding the movements of the federal troops, their strength and such other news as would aid Villa in his fight against the Huerta troops
 Stilliman was held incommunicato for some time after his arrest, but was released by the federals following the efforts of the Brazilian ambassa dor, who prevailed upon Huerta to order the federal commander to re lease the American consul.
 When the federal troops evacuated Saltillo the United States consul was fred eand given passage to this city and he is now at the Brazilian am bassy and will be sent from here to Vera Cruz.

The Valdez Commercial Association were the hosts last evening to the party of Seattle, Tacoma and Port land businessmen, who, as the guests of President H. F. Alexander, are making the round trip on the steam CT Admiral Sampson. The party were given an impromptu entertainment and the delicious punch mixed by the expert mixologist of the Tillikum Club was enjoyed not only by the visiting businessmen, but by the Valdez men who were present.
 The committee met the party on the Sampson and escorted them to the club rooms, which had been loan, ed to the association by the Tillikum Club. The fun started at once and every moment of the time from the arrival of the party to the blowing of the whistle for the departure of the steamer was full of enjoyment. Many of the visitors were well known to businessmen of Valdez, who were glad to renew old acquaintances. All of them spoke at some time during the evening and told of the new i'm pressions they had received of Alaska,

how it's wonderful and undeyeloped resources had impressed them with great desire to be of the empire builders of the north, and how as far as they were able they would be- come boosters for Alaska and hoped at no late date to become investors in Alaskan enterprises.
 For the people of Alaska, and es pecially for Valdez, the spokesman was Senator Willard, who spoke of the work of the pioneers in opening the territory and predicted future for the north that even the most op- tomistic of his hearers, he said, could not now realize. The senator was followed by Judge Lyons, acting may or of Valdez. by J. M. Lathrop, of the reception committee. by Secretary Fish, of the Commercial Association, and many others who welcomed the men of the Pacific coast cities.

It was also proven that Becker took his personal attor- ney, John w. Hart, to see the gun men the same afternoon of the mur- der and consulted with him regard ing the best method to escape the punishment of the crime.
 The district attorney claimed that Becker was more guilty than the hired gunmen and was the leader of the conspiracy to kill Rosenthal
 Becker was ashen when ordered by the court to stand up and face the foreman of the jury when the verdict was rendered. He, however. showed no other sign of emotion and sat down without a word.
 Tn attorneys for Becker gave no 'tice immediately of an appeal and asked a stay to prepare the necessary forms, which will be granted them by Judge Seabury, the presiding judge. The sentence will. however. be passed next week and in the event

SHE DEVILS DO MORE DAMAGE
Destroy Five Priceless Paintings in London Art Gallery and Mob
 Handle Them Roughly.

LONDON, May 23.-The militant suffragettes today made good their threat of yesterday that because of 4he arrest of Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughter Sylvia, they would destroy valuable paintings. Five militants entered the National art gallery to- day with big butcher knives hidden under the folds of their clothing and succeeded in slashing five priceless paintings by old masters before the attendants could overcome them and prevent further damage.
 The women scattered and cut and slashed in different sections of the big gallery and so divided the guards and had it not been for the assist ance of bystanders they would have done even greater damage. When the police arrived it was found that the nlilitants had not escaped without injury, as they had been very roughly handled by the crowds and were weep ing but defiant.
 They told the police that the work of today was but starter and that buildings would be burned and pic lures ruined until the leaders of the militants are released from jail.

Whitman had woven a web of evi- dence about the former police lieu tenant that could not but result in his conviction.
 Testimony was introduced to show that on the evening of July 16, 1912, Becker had planned the assassination in order to halt the law in uncover ing the connection of himself with the gamblers of this city and of his partnership with Rosenthal in a gambling establishment and the col lection of bribe money from the wo- men of the underworld. Rosenthal had an appointment with District At torney Whitman on July 16, at 10 o'clock and was to "squeal" be- cause of Becker's refusal to provide the protection he had been paid for. He was killed at a. m. of that morning.
 Rose and Webber testified that they secured the services of the four gun men, none of whom knew Rosenthal, but were paid $1.000 for the job and threatened with a term in Sing Sing if they failed. Following the murder, Rose notified Becker, who was wait

The Up-so-Dat@ Workbag

Gus sorts makes interesting occupation.
One effective way OF using beads is to
combine them with velvet for necklaces.
A long strip Of narrow velvet put around
the neck and then drawn through two or
three big beads. the two ends finished with
tassels of smaller beads, is attractive.
Another sort of necklace is made of short
lengths of velvet-brown, blue, green. yei-
low or black-joned to short strings OF
beads Of glass or sometimes of painted
wood.
Then there Is the embroidered bead
work. This is rather tedious but most
tience. Handbags of beads embroidered on
silk are especially useful and attractive.
~
Ribbon. too, takes up a corner Of the
workbag, for various sorts Of ribbon or
naments and decorations can he made.
There are the tiny ribbon flowers with
which to trim lingerie and negliges that
some women make a hobby. And with
little practice and patience these tiny
flowers can be produced in perfection.
And with wider ribbon there are guam
titles of needlebooks. powder paper hold
ers. pin cases of a dozen kinds, handker-
chief bags and many other useful artf-
c1es.
And there might be some gold braid
and net in this workbag. for the clever
needlewoman now delights in making va
rfous pin cushions. glove and handker-
chief boxes. picture frames and desk ar
ticles out of gold net over deep-toned
silks. trimmed with gold fringe and tiny
chiffon flowers
There would probably not be an en-
broidered shirt waist in the bag. for hand
embroidered shirt waists are not very
prominent just now. But there would be
some collar and cuff sets of various sorts
to be embroidered and enriched with
lace. And there would be some embro-
dered lingerie, for embroidered lingerie
is always more or less in vogue. To he
sure. the elaborate chiffon and crepe de
chine and the plain taffeta underwear
that have been worn lately have eclipsed,
to some extent, embroidered underwear
But certain women always prefer the
da1ntiness and prettiness Of embroidery
with Its suggestion of French origin, to
any other trimming for underwear.
There might be a white linen handbag
stamped for rather coarse and effective
embroidery in white cotton and made to
cord handle. There might be handker-
chiefs to embroider with a tiny wreath
and initial in one corner. There might
be a lingerie hat to embroider-one to
be made up more like a boudoir cap in
shape than the old-fashioned lingerie
hat. And there might be a crocheted
carriage robe. an embroidered piaue
babys sack or a knitted or crocheted
cover for tiny hot water bag in the
pocket Of the bag devoted to baby's
things.
