Son Did Not Write;
 Mother Swallows Poison

}. Following a week of agony from the. zeffects of rat poison taken, with sui-s cfdal intent, Mrs. Eleanor Mi1covoch, 30 years old, living at 1o8 Pine street, died late yesterday afternoon at St vincentss hospital. It was supposed she had been recovering until yester- day when she was seized with hem orrhages. Bespondency and worry over a 15 year old son, who is work. ing as Q waiter on an ocean liner, is believed to have prompted the act.
 The poison was taken in the form of rat biscuit about midnight last Saturday and, although suffering much pain, the woman remained in. bed and did not disclose the cause to her husband until the following af-. terroon. pr. S M Garlick, medical examiner. will today make an official report.

 with all possible speed the E9 dived and at a suitable depth launch- ed two. torpedoes at intervals of Is seconds Whether both struck is not definitely known but one of them cer- tatnly was effective as the explosion followed.

The railroads feel the presidents indorsement of their stand for more revenues to meet the crisis growing out of the war will strength en their cause before the people. The railroads petition shows the finan- ciaI condition of the lines has grown much worse instead of better since the interstate commerce commission handed down it's decision refusing the rate increase to eastern lines The petition recites that there are Out- standing a half billion dollars in rail- road securities which must be met within the next fifteen months. It asserts that on account of the dehnor alized credit market it will be im- possible for the roads to meet these obligations unless they are allowed to receive more revenue.

PROBING STATEMENT
 OF SIR LIONEL ON VERA CRUZ CASE

Washington, Sept. 17@Repiy from Sir Lionel Garden, former British minister to Mexico, now en route to England. as to the accuracy of an aI-s New York criticising President Wilson for ordering the evacuation of Vera Cruz, was awaited with interest in off ciaI circles here today in connection with revelations as to how the minis. terwas forced to depart from Mexico City by Gen. Carranza, the constftu- tionaI chief. It was also learned in high official circles that but for the diplomatic intervention of the United States Sir Lionel would have been given his passports by Carranza.
 The facts in the latest diplomatic episode were revealed following the publication of the alleged fntervie ". The British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, has notified Secre tarv Bryan that Sir Lionel had no author ization to make a statement, and al- though. he doubted it's accufacy, he would try to ascertain the facts.
 Because of previous interviews at tacking the Washington governments s policy toward Mexico, high officials Lionel had expressed himself freely again, and ascribe it to the ministers s resentment toward Carranza. Respon sibility for the tenacity with which Huerta resisted diplomatic pressure was largely attributed by CarranZa, to Sir Lionel and Carranza told friends that when the constitutionalists reach ed Mexico City, the minister would be deported After reaching there Car ranza notified the washington govern nent Of his intention to make good his threat.
 Despite the fact that Carranza want ed to hand Sir Lionel his passports
 
 the Washington government interced- ed through the Brazilian minister and the minister was allowed to leave. without embarrassment It was then. suggested to Carranza by the Wash ington government, it is said, that whatever animosity he might person. ally feel toward Sir Lionel would be 1risund erstood and exaggerated as an affront to Great Britain should he be handed his passports. In consequence of the incident the minister was at once ordered to his new post in Brazil.
