Psychological or Otherwise,
He Tells President.

Washington, July 10. - Optimistic
views OF business conditions were pre-

business was getting better all the
time.
There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business" he said. THE only

I'D and attend to their business this
calamity talk would stop immediate,

Doctors Wife Charged With the MUIR
der of Mrs. Bailey colIapses In
Jail.
Freeport, N. Y, July 1o.-The case
against Mrs. Florence Carman, arrest
ed for the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey, is admittedly so weak tnat 'he
prosecutor hesitates to take MS Scraps
of circumstantial evidence before
MAGISTRATE or a grand jury.
Doubt has been thrown upon the
testimony of the two most important
witnesses, George Colder and Ei"oou
Bardes. !.
Colder has made an affidavit pracu-
cally regulating his identlhcatloh VI
the doctors wife as the woman he
saw on the porch few minutes pe-
fore the murder, and Flora Rayner,
Young woman of Freeport, says that
Rardes was with her at time SO
close to that of the murder that II
seems impossible, if her story is true,
that he could have seen and heard all
that he testified to.
IT is barely possible that District
Attorney Smith has evidence In re-
serve which he intends to produce at
a strategic moment; but as the case
stands specifically, nobody IN Free
port believes that Mrs. Carman coulo
be indicted, much less convicted. Take
for example the comment OF ex-Juose
Wallace, Of Freeport;
mo testimony connecting Mrs. Car
man with the killing Of Mrs. Bailey
has been offered that approaches the
dignity of evidence. Any judge would
be compelled to direct jury to &C
quit the defendant"
District Attorney Smith, disappo1nt-
ed and chagrined by the crumbling OF
the foundation of his case, tried to
secure a postponement of the hearing
set for July Is by Coroner Norton.
Mr.. Smith wanted a weeks delay, but
George NJ. Levy, counsel for Mrs. Car
man, wouldn't consent. Mr.. Levy'S po-
sition was that the county authorities,
after eight days investigation, put
Mrs. Carman in Jail, charged with
murder, and that it would be unjust
to dilly daily any further.
The strain of her arrest and her
long suspense under suspicion over
came Mrs. Carman In Jail, and she be-
came so i'll that the sheriff thought
best to call the prison physician. The
breakdown came after Mrs. Carman
had partaken Of breakfast in an appar-
emily cheerful mood.
A strong reaction in favor Of Mrs.
Carman has set in throughout Mas
sau county. One cause of 1t is the
fact that the authorities employed a
privite detective to mack an tnvesti-
cation and the detective is said to
have bulldozed Mrs. Garman In her
own home.

posed to Negotiating with Huerta
Peace ENJOYS.
Ell Paso, Texas, July 10.-General
Villas army may make no further OIL
fensive movement for several months
or more.
General CarranZa's generals are SAID
60 be strongly opposed to any negotla-
lions with the Huerta peace ENJOYS III
an effort to reach settlement OF the
revolution.
These two developments rise above
all else in the Mexican situation, FOL
lowing the settlement, on the surface
at least, of the bitter dispute between
the fighting leader and the hrst
chief" of the Constitutional1sts
General Villa, it is said, has decided
to wait until winter before moving
his forces further south in the general
campaign against Mexico City. Mean
while he will devote his efforts to pro-
tecting the territory he already mas
conquered. Any immediate campaign
against the Huerta capital is up 10
General Obregon in the west and Gen
eral Gonzales.
The absence of General Villa from
the field may be felt keenly and later
may induce the rebel generals TO
change their attitude toward the pro-
posal for a peace parley with the
Huerta representatives.
Further talk of an Independent
( Villa republic in northern Mexico was
<aroused by the continued movement
of Villas forces north from Torreon
and Zacacetas. Such movement
would not surprise anybody.
Food and forage have reached ire
mendous prices and since Villas pur'
chasing agents buy at current quota
tons it has sometimes been problem
to supply the troops with necessities.
/, American army officers declare that
Villas men were suffering severely
from illness and that they were be
ing hurried to the higher altitude to
recoup from the campaigns. If they
were held in their present locations
Asouth of Torreon, it is asserted that
they will son be dying by the thou,
sands.
