 FRAUD CHARGE
Elk English Army Officer Tells of Meeting Miss Amelia Wheeler of Fair field,
fspecial to the Farmer.)

| + .
 Baltimore, April 30-Capt. Charles Glenn Collins. formerly a British army officer, who married Miss Natalie Schenck of New York. and who was divorced by her soon after their honeymoon, was acquitted here today
 by Judge Heus1er on a charge of ob- taining a draft of s25 through false pretenses. Richard III. Thompson, vice-president of the Maryland Trust Company. appeared against him. Capt. Collins testified that after he
 met Miss Amelia Wheeler of Fairfield, Conn. daughter Of Samuel H. Wheel CT, she had helped him to obtain
 money to promote the Beaver Dam enterprise. He testified that her fam fly had finally induced her to execute a deed of trust which prevented fur ther negotiations. Because of this he said Frederick R. Swift. a New York lawyer, who had advanced money. threatened to prevent his proposed marriage and put detectives on his trail. He said Le and Miss Wheeler would have been married but for his arrest.
 Reviewing the testimony Judge Heus1er said that Swift who had been the associate of Collins had cashed previous drafts for him and the de- fendant had no reason to believe but
 that those sent back would be hon. l lored
 l Collins, in his testimony the day be-
 fore, had told of his life in the army
 land how he had lost a fortune at cards and speculation. He said he had at
 tempted to build up his broken f.
 uances by promoting schemes. After his acquitta1 Collins said he would re-
 turn to New York to face a fraud
 charge made there against him.

Mexico and the United States.',a
 It was pointed out that Carran1a made no reference whatever to Mex ico's internal strife end whether that might have any effect upon the re- ported proposal of the nediators tc ask for a. cessation of hstilities be- tween the constitutfona1ists and Huerta.s army could not be foreseen.
 Carranza's acceptance of the invi- tation to enter into the preliminaries Of proposed mediation practically brings within range of the aim Of the three envoys all clements affected by the long strife in the southern repub- lie That development followed the request of the nnediators that Huerta and she United States government suspend all military aggression peric- ing the outcome of the mediation at tempt. The mediatoEs believed today such an armistice would be agreed to. Tn it's reply to the armistice proposal, the American government will stipu- late that any untoward act aimed at Americans in Mexico will be regarded as violation of the truce.
 WILSON AND BRYAN PLEASED.
 Carranza's acceptance of mediation was pleasing to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and today their hopes of the Mexican crisis apparently were raised.
 In the event that each factor in the three-cornered problem of diplomacy were to agree to general truce, the next move of the envoys could not be foreseen. What demands likely would be made on all sides and what might be considered were absorbing topics in diplomatic and official circles today. Up to this time, neither Huerta nor the Washington government has signi. | fled what points will be demanded ii rF7r-z -T- have accepted the good offices oi the South American Republics in theii
