Mrs. Derby Much Improved.

Mrs. Derby was not as i'll as had
been reported abroad. She had been
in splendid health and spirits. not
withstanding the hard work she had
been doing in the hospital. She be-
came depressed day before she was
to have sailed on the American liner
New York and cancelled her sailing to
embark on the Lusitania. The rough
weather affected her and throughout
the voyage she was i'll.
1t was reported that the young
woman had become alarmed when her
husband went out to the firing line %
attend the wounded, and had not been
heard from for several days.
DR.. Derby said his experience had
greatly increased his respect for the
French people as soldiers and for their
organization and care of the wounded
The great success Of the American Am
bulance Hospital. which has 500 beds,
he said was largely due TO the splendid
management Of DR.. Joseph Blake
Edward Weinacht, general manager
of the foreign department of the
Adams Express Company, who has been
abroad since June. said he believed the
Aus'risns were defeated already. and
that the Hungarians are fighting with

'SH! SH! CONSPIRACY!

Plot, and Here 1t Is in
All Its Naked Truth.

"The Gaelic American" sheet de
voted TO the cause of Irish indepen-
dence, Irish literature and the lrlsh
race" has unearthed a great conspiracy
that might, save for the valor of james
Larkin, have imperlled the city. True
TO its love of fair play, the worthy
sheet will expose the conspiracy in its
next Saturdays issue, but The Trio-
une, which takes pleasure in keeping
Mr.. Larkin's achievements before the
public, is jealous of the honor, and so
this is the conspiracy which Ihe

unteer who CALAMITY poked the hit OF MS
sword into reporter Hps.
The proof of the conspiracy, which
the great James foiled so utterly, is
contained in a statement of no less a
man than John B. Powell, whose lit
erary aspirations have been realized
by a position on "The Gaelic Ameri-
can"
"When | took my seat at the press
table the representative OF the City
News Association and two other re-
porters were already seated. lmme-
diately the City News reporter con-
ided to the others that there was
going to be row."
Not content with announcing the
row, the City News reporter, who has
the temerity 10 be called Sheridan, de-
clared of the meeting word is,
knock it," Also, according 70 the
veracious Powell, Sheridan said he had
a revolver and would plug five or six
of the - anarchists before go
down" -,
This deplorable expression, as well
as other things equally discriminating,
proved to the good Powell that there
was a plot, and as great minds will not
believe in plots except they suspect
money, it proved to him, beyond per-
adventure, that the British consul had
supplied the money, bought the re-
porters, perchance the papers them
selves.
1t is understood that subsequent
issue of "The Gaelic American" which
exposes things heretofore mysterious,
will expose the great James's means OF
support.

recently arrived here from Vera Cruz,
where ne is attached TO the staff Of
General C.. Aguiar, the governor and
military commander of that city. Colo

ditons in Mexico had been misrepre-
sented in the press of this country, and
that the great majority of people in
his country. particularly Of the better
classes, were behind Carranza.
eve know it means fight he said,
"but within three or four months Villa
will not be a factor in the Mexican
government. We have the military
strength and the moral support with

Colonel Martinez said that the re-
ports that Carranza was dickering for
surrender, or intended to fee to n
South American country, were false.
General Aguilar was giving every guar
antee Of protection TO Mexicans who
were employed by the United States
government, and other citizens, re-
ports to the contrary, he said. The
better class of Mexicans were thor
oughly in accord with the policy OF

mired and respected General Funston.
Many things which Colonel Roosevelt
had said about the Mexican situation
were not based on facts, he said.
Criticism coming from the Catholic
Church in this country that its prop

were being prosecuted, was unfounded,

CLEARY'S DAUGHTER

Girl Widow Goes to Court Room and

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW CITY, n. Y, Dec. 17.-Broken
hearted and torn by conflicting emo.
lions, Mrs. Anna Newman, beautiful
girl widow, came here today to see
her father, William v. Cleary. placed
on trial for the murder Of Eugene
Newman, her husband. The murder
occurred last July, only few hours
after the young people were made
man and wife.
It now rests with the girl to decide
whether she shall voluntarily take the
stand and give testimony that may
send her father to the death chair at
Sing Sing or life imprisonment.
When the machinery Of the court
was set in motion today, it laid bare
one Of the most tragic situations In
the recent history Of the state. Eu-
gene Newmon, an eighteen year old
boy, son Of prominent resident Of
Haverstraw. eloped and married on
July IS. Newman was shot down by
Cleary when he went to tell the latter
OF the wedding.
There were witnesses In the room
and all the facts Of the killing were
substantiated. One point in dispute
which is expected to have the great
est bearing ON the case is whether
Cleary knew Of the marriage before
he killed Newman
Cleary's defense is expected to be
that he was temporarily crazed with
drink.

left on late train. Not hav1ns
enough money to buy their tickets
back to Chicago or even to get theiI

the police who referred them this
morning to David A. Glasscoff, secre
