United Press Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
murder of Private Samuel Parks, adj
mitedly slain without trial, although
captured in the uniform of the United
states Army at Vera Cruz will not be
followed by acts of reprisals at this
time. This was made very plain by
the attitude of the state department
today
Although the war department is
ahame over the killing and Secretary
Garrison privately declared it ere
ated a grave situation, Secretary
BRYAN insists that it is simply
another Cutiage for which Huerta is
responsible and which, like all Others
that have preceded it, will be taken
up in Jhe final settlement.
l.ryan is a.'amant, and he has tie
fun support of President Wilson, that
nothing is Il. be permitted to inter
f6re with pIediation. He believes the
y ia-ara Falls conference viii ehni-
nate Jld"Ita and win suggest a real
plan for complete restoration of
pace in NeI leo.
The secretary does not believe an
additional American life lost at tn S
me should be permitted to force the
hand OF the United States according
to those who most enjoy his conf
dence.
The secretary also believes the as
surances sent to him from Mexico
City by the Brazilian and British rep
resentatives that Consul Siliman is
safe at Saltillo. He privately assures
hose asking information that Sill
man will be sent through to Mexico
City and then to Vera Cruz as soon

FIRE, Bryan has been assured, and he
bimself is personally satisfied that tho
onsul has not reached safety because
of that fact and not because he has
Aeen slain by Huerta's soldiers.
Meanwhile, Mexico City holds the
attention of the administrators and
the mediators. 1t is admitted that the
proceedings there during the next few
days vii, have an important bearing
on the mediation conference. Every
official dispatch from the Mexican
apital emphasize the critical state

NO REPRISAL IN PARKS CASE
NOW, Is BRYAN'S ATTITUDE

Of uprisinfs are many. While the
strictest censorship is admitted, mob
rule is threatened. The fore gners are
banded together for mutual protec-
ton. The unrest is increas ng ard a.
explosion may come at any time, Be
cause of this, there is general bel q
here that Huerta viii either eliminate
himself, a the mediat on route or be
eliminated via the pistol or dagger
exit He is paying little attention to
the problems of state.
The real head of the government
according to reports reaching the dip
tomato corps here. is General Blan-
quet There also feeling tina
Blanquet plans to seize the reins o.
government himself, should the occa-
sion become propitious.
The Huerta commissioners to the
mediation conference were due here
late today. They were to be met at
the station by the Spanish ambassa-
dor and taken direct TO the Spanish
embassy. Tonight they viii be
guests of the ambassador at a dinner
at which a select few of the diplo-
natic corps has been invited, and
.ater they viii depart for Niagara
Falls.
Il is believed that the Spanish am
with the mediators, viii discuss with
ta-s l44ll4l1lSs toner's their in
t-uctions from Huerta and advise
them on the questions that are sure
O arise. The American commission
srs have received instructions from
President Wilson. 1t is said that they
have been directed to make it plain
the outset that while this govern
ment accepted the principles of medi-
ation. it must insist from the outset
that Huerta is TO be eliminated. The
manner of the elimination will not
ne suggested, but viii be left 10 the
mediators. Another point to be raised
is that he shall not select ais own
successor and shall not be allowed to
place himself in a position where he
could be a candidate for President at
my general election that might be
arranged. On this last score the
United States is not troubling ITSELF
rs it is realized that If constitutional
government Is restored Euerta will
nave to defend himself In court from
the charge that he was personally re-
sponsihle for ths slaying Vi 2adsro.

NEW YORK, May 16.-In Justice
Seabury's courtroom while the testi-
mony of. Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg was
beng given there was probably ony
one person outside of the counsel
railing who did not show surprise.
That was Mrs Eugene BoisseVa n,
who was Miss Inez Nj holland. Mrs.
BosseVain had known of the coming
developments for several days, but
had not breathed a word, The in
aormation had come to her as a
lawyer, and was privileged of course
Mrs. Boissevain sat near one of the
reporters tables and heard every
word of the testimony. She had been
coming to the trial every day during
he week to hear her young friend
testify. 1t was to Mrs. Boisseva n it
was learned, that Lefty Louie's"
wife had poured out her heart. asking
for advice.
When a reporter interviewed Mrs.
Boissevain last night she begged to
be kept out of the case. She had
only acted in a friendly way for Mrs,
Rosenberg. she said. and had not
been in any way responsible for the
womans decision to come forward
and tell what she knew.

Mrs Boissevain. ''She asked me

"She appealed to me, and I felt
very sorry for her. Here was sweet

go on the stage. This is the last
thing that Mrs. Rosenberg wanted to
do, and the suggestion hurt her feel
