Nassau County, n. y, Grand
July. -

EFreeport, N. Y, July 1.-THE Mas
sau County grand jury decided late
Yesterday afternoon to return an in
dictment charging manslaughter i'll
the first degree against Mrs. Flor
ence Conklin Carman, the beautiful
t7reonort woman accused of killing
Mrs, Louise Duryea Bailey in DR..
Edwin Carman's Office on the night
Of June 80.
The punishment for such crime is
Imprisonment for not more than 20
wears. District Attorney Smith, al
though declining to make public the
decision of the grand Jury, declared
himself quite satisfied with the result
of that body's deliberations. Even
Dr. Carman himself, despite his evil
dent disappointment that my indict-
ment should have been decided upon,
declared that things 'might have
been worse"
Justice Van Sclen will receive the
Indictment today, dismiss the grand
Jury and arraign Mrs. Carman. 1t
is believed that bail will be fixed at
$4,000 or thereabouts. Immediately
thereafter Mrs. Carman will be taken
bv her husband to some quiet noun
tain resort, where she will stop until
September, when she will face trial.
When the report that Mrs. Carman
would be indicted today spread
throughout Freeport and the adjoin-
ing towns, DR.. Carman was deluged
with more than q score Of offers from
the wealthiest citizens of Nassau
county who wished to go on her bond.
More than $150,000 in cash was Of
fered to the doctor during the even
ing. Every one of his friends insist
ed that an offer be accepted as sure
ty for Mrs. Carman's appearance.
One millionaire, who is considered
the wealthiest of Freeport's citizens,
offered certified check for $4,000.
The two men who will probably
go en- Mrs. Carman's bond are Smith
Cox, former supervisor of the town
OF Hampstead, and Ernest Randall,
real estate man. They offered to go
her bond for an unlimited amount.
Each offer was accompanied by ex-
pressions of faith in her innocence of
any participation in the death of
Mrs. Bailey.

IGARRANzA TO Be :.
next PRESIDENT
lHuerta's Successor as Ruler
to Retire for Rebel
Chief.
PEACE is IN SIGHT
Carbajals Only Condition Is Gen.
eral Amnesty and Protection of
Property in the Country.

Washington, July 17.-The United
States expects Carran2a to take over
the Mexican government early next
week. It's information is that already
Acting President Carbajal has Of
fered to make way for the const'tu-
tionalist first chief.
Although numerous messages are
being exchanged between Consul Sill
liman, President Wilson's personal
representative with Carranza and
the State Department, their contents
are Withheld. 1t is believed certain,
however, that Carranza has promised
protection of all foreigners as soon
as he throws his. troops into the cap
ital
This is the main thing. If ad-
hered to it will enable the United
States to act promptly in recognizing
the government that is to be estab-
lished.
Washington, D. c., July l7.-Fran-
cisco Carbajal, successor to General
Huerta as Provisional President of
Mexico. has advised the United
States Government informally that
he intended to retire in favor OF
General Carranza, the Constitution
alist chief. President Carbajal wishes
only that a general amnesty be pro-
claimed and protection given to the
property of those who opposed the
Constitutionalists This statement OF
the attitude of Hne:sta's Slcees:2t;
together with the announcement from
Saltillo that Carranza was willing to
to enter into negotiations with Carb-
aiael relative to the transfer of au-
thority at Mexico City is regarded
here last night as practically assur-
ing a cessation of hostilites and the
restoration of peace in Mexico.
The views of Mr.. Carbajal were
explained in detail to Secretary Bry-
an today by Jose Castellot, former
member of the, Mexican Senate, who
called at the. State Department with
personal telegram which he had
received through the Mexican EN-
bassy. 1t was the first communica-
tion between the American Govern
ment and the Carbajael Admins
tration.
The message also revealed that
Generals Huerta and Banquet, en-
route to Puerto Mexico, are planning
to 60 to Europe. The communication,
addressed; to Mr.. Castellot, a perso-
ma! friend of the new President, was
dated last night, and follows:
81 have just taken the oath of Of
flee rs President OF the Republic. Gen
erals Huerta and Banquet departed
last night for Europe. / desire to
make it known with emphasis that
my only purpose is to facilitate So
luton of. the grave problems which
weigh upon our country. have not
the slightest ambition for myself and
merely wish to terminate the inter-
nal conflict Of our country. Please
give me your impressions of the sit
lation in Washington"
This message, Mr.. Castellot en-
planned, meant that Mr.. Carbajael had
taken office only asa means of bridg-
ing the gap from the Huerta to the
Gonstitutionalists, and that the new
President had no desire to remain in
office.
