WOMAN IN CLIFFORD
CASE BEING SOUGHT
Albany Police Believe Young
Widow Was Cause Of Chauf-
feur's Murder.
ACCUSED BOY SILENT YET
D-Cady Herrick Mentioned as
Probable Lawyer to Defend
Manufacturers Son.

Albany, n. Y. April 20.-Afalcolm Glf-
ford. son of the Hudson machinery man
ufacturer. and Frank w. Clute. the chauf-
a common acquaintance. a young widow.
Albany police believe. This line OF In
quiry. which was taken up after the
father OF the boy and his acquaintance
quashed the robbery motive, has not pro-
ceeded far. but the police promise some
developments before many days.
Clute. the police say. formed the ac-
quaintance OF young widow who was a
friend Of CHORD. Differences arising over
this young womans affections are said by
the police to have led up to the murder
OF Cute.
District Attorney Alexander made It
plain that he will not talk until some
thing Is developed which will prove cor
rect hts contention that Clifford Is the
murderer of Clute. He said that he had
evidence to justify the trial OF the boy.
clifford Is still puzzling the police. He
was removed from the pleasant detention
room of the police station to-day to the
Albany county jail. but he showed MOTH
ing more than passing interest In the
change.
His jailers said that he still appeared
to be disinterested in everything but
papers and magazines. and made II plain
that he was not disposed to discuss the
case to any one. He was placed in the
boys department of the jail
While the District Attorney stu clings
TO the theory that the motive for the
murder of Cute was robbery. the police
are searching to md woman suspect.
The District Attorney maintains that he
is not placing faith IN the supposition that
the murder of Clute grew out OF a quarrel
over a woman.
An Albany friend OF young Clifford.
who was present at dinner at the clifford
home three days after the murder OF
Clute. said to-day that he did not notice
that clifford was nervous. as some OF the
witnesses before the Grand Jury asserted
he was for days after the murder
District Attorney Alexander believes
that Giffords relatives know something
of his actions about the time OF the MUIR

what he bases this belief

Surrogate Fowler. in his decision made
a distinction between "extraordnary divi-
dends' and the division of assets created
by the Increase in the value of property.
HIS decision is important because It al

these is the estate OF the late Joseph
Pulitzer, whose executors set aside stock
OF the General Electric Company for the
benefit OF the widow. who now claims a
stock dividend declared after the trust

Newspapers Generally Favor
able to President Wilson
and Intervention.
LITTLE COMMENT IN PARIS
Message to Congress and
Huerta's Attitude Almost I'm
noticed on the Continent.
Special Cable Dispatches 10 TINS sux.

LONDON. April 2i.-The bulk OF the
comment in the morning papers on Pres
ident Wilson's message In regard to the
refusal OF Mexico to salute the American
flag is sympathetic with the President
and with the United States. President
Wilson's hope that the present trouble
will not eventuate in war Is treated as a
pious aspiration which Il Is very i'm
probable will be fulfilled. and the
eventual necessity OF the United States
restoring order in Mexico is regarded
as Inevitable.
The Times after expressing regret that
the crisis did not come in different form,
but recognizing that the United States is
not actuated by any selfish motives. says !:
Americans will certainly fnd nowhere
a clearer comprehension of the difficulties
OF the situation and warmer wishes FOR
success In overcoming them than among
their British knsmen."
The Daily Telegraph says that so far
as Great Britain and other countries
having interests in Mexico are concerned
the assumption OF the Government of that
country by the United States az the losi.
cal consequence of successful war could
hardly be anything but TO their advan.
tase.
The Daily Mai says: Intervention
has been thrust upon the Americans and
they may be sure of the good viii OF the
whole OF the English speaking world. The
British attitude is one OF admiration for
President Wilson's tolerance and OF abso-
lutte confidence IN the success Of Amerl-
can arms and the practical hand, .ng OF
the redemption OF Mexico on the same
lines as Was done In the case OF Cuba
and the Philippines"
The Daily Graphic says war IS not
an accident. but Is inevitably predost.ned
by Irresistible causes. Nevertheless Il is
TO be feared that war with MeAco Will
bring the present generation Of Americans
more anxiety than glory or profit"
The Daily Chronicle expresses the most
sincere good wishes for American success
In the present thorny. thankless task
The Daily Notcs and Leader SAYS IL ia
Impossible TO ignore either the difficulties
or dangers OF the American task but (,
is only fair to recognize that President
Huertas maladroit impudence has not left
President Wilson any alternative but In
PREVENTION.
