George W. Bingham. who lives on the Jerusalem road in windham, was arrested Tuesday morning on war rant charging him with assault and breach of the peace. He was later released on bonds, and his case will probably be heard this morning in the police court.
 The row which caused his arrest took place Sunday between Bingham . and Luther B. Armstrong, who with his wife lives on the Bingham prem ises, and was about to move out. It is said that the argument started over a calf which Armstrong had bought, and sold again, and Armstrong claim ed that in the heat of the discussion Bingham came at him with a shot gun which went off and tore a holo in the flooring just as he got hold of it.
 Three trips were made to Bingham's s farm before he was taken into cus- tody. After finding him out Monday night and Tuesday morning, Chief E. H. Richmond thought he would take another tack, and drove away. leav- ing Officer Paulhus a short way down the road on the lookout for the ac- eused. This plan worked, and the of ficer soon telephoned in that he had his man. Then the chief went after him and brought him in in an auto mobile.

SILENT ON SUBJECT
BY BOND p. GEDDRs.

Aiitfu iieoe Nt1H correspondent.
WASHINGTON. April 3O-The
United States has not received any
request from the A. B. c. mediators
for an armlstice. Ambassador Da
Cana did not discuss any armitice
with Secretary Of State Bryan yester-
day. Il was not until today, when
the ambassador called on Solicitor
Lansing, Of the State Department.
that this government formally told the
ENJOYS that 1t naturally assumed and
has assumed since the mediation plan
was accepted that all hostilities
would be halted during tho medi-
alton
This was made clear today by Sec
retary of State Bryan. The Secre-
tary emphatically denied any request
for an armistice had been made by
the envoys. He confirmed United
Press dispatches during the last few
days that the United States immedi-
ately on acceptance of the mediation
plan, determined to maintain the
present status quo in its military
and naval operations except In case
of unforeseen circumstances, such as
as an attack on American troops or a
massacre of Americans.
"A suggestion for an armistice has
been considered by the ENJOYS" said
Secretary Bryan. This govern
ment's opinion was requested. No
binding arrangement for an armistice
was made, but the opinion of Solicitor
Lansing states the assumption that
cessation Of hostilitles would obvious
ly ensue.'
Bryan said Ambassador Da Cana
had not requested this opinion In his
conference at the State Department
Yesterday. The ambassador merely
called on Solicitor Lansing today
The mediators were considering tn,
armistice plan today and were ex
pected to take steps TO obtain tenta
tive If not open consent from Huerti
and Carranza to such plan. Bryan
said the State Department had no in
formation on Huerta's or Carranza',
attitude on an armistice. The report

work, and it has been no uncopNnon
sight to see the members working at
midnight. When spoken to about the

positive that the work would be lin

MINKER LINCERS IN
The death SHADOW

Physicians at the homeopathic
Hospital hold little hope for the re-
covery of Joseph S. Minker, fireman
Of the shifting engine which was de-
rallied on the Augustine branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad at Van
Buren street on Tuesday evening.
He is suffering from a broken back.
Minker does not know how he was
hurt. He and Conductor Bradford
are the only two men who were rid
ing on the locomotive, and both
were thrown off az the same time.
Bradford escaped without any injury.
and it is thought Minker must have
fallen upon his back He was clear
OF wreckage, however, otherwise it
Is thought he would have been In
stantly killed.
The railroad officials are making
an investigation to determine the
cause of the accident Some OF the
members OF the crew explain the fact
that none of the men jumped, espe-
cially the men riding on the locomo-
tive, by saying that il all happened so
quickly that they did not have time
to do anything. IL was said that after
the engine jumped the track and
started TO run along the cross ties
the rails appeared to spread right out
before 1t, and the next instant the
engine was lying on its side.
