HUERTA'S ELIMINATION
CONTINUED from Page One)

with the American commissioners at
which Secretary Bryan also was
present, spoke hopefully of the media
ton. He indicated that every power
and legitimate influence at the dispos-
al of the American government would
be exerted to make it succeed. Though
the Constitutionalists have not yet
agreed to take part in the mediation,
one high administration official had
high hopes today that they would do
so. saying that a misunderstanding
which might be remedied in short
time was largely responsible for their
failure to be represented at Niagara
Falls.
The President laid before the COM
missioners the entire Mexican prob
lem as he saw it, emphasizing that the
duty of the United States was to seek
unselfishly to assist Mexico to set up
a constitutional government which
could be accorded recognition by the
world because of it's capacity not
alone to maintain peace within It's
confines, but also to observe inter-
national obligations. The Huerta del
egates have conceded privately to their
friends that the international phases
of the Mexican question are closely
interviewer in the internal affairs of
their country. The mediators have
taken similar position in their COM
munications to Gen. Carranza, saving
that the international and internal
questions were inseparable.
Plan Division of Lands
In fact, they have worked out in
general way plan which they will
submit to all factions. One feature of
it became known definitely today. 1t
seeks to eradicate the perpleMng
agrarian question by prescribing di-
vision of lands in a way that would
be satisfactory to the masses, but It's
details have not been made public.
In his talk with the commissioners
the President, too, touched briefly on
the land question, speaking OF 1t as
a perennial cause of discomfort and
dissatisfaction, which had made 1t
comparatively easy to raise revo-
mtionary army in Mexico.
All the suggestions and plans are to
come from the mediators to the two
parties represented at the negotiations
and there is high authority for the
prediction that when plans reach
tangible form they will be submitted
to Carranza and to those who are be-
lieved to have influence with lapata.

Washington, May 1s.-Dr. Edward
A. Ryan, who as representative of
the American Red Cross of the state
department, was arrested in Mexico
and held for sometime as a spy by
the Huerta forces, reported to the
state department here today. Dr. Ry
an said he hoped to return to Mex

the promise of secrecy exacted from
him by the Huerta government he
would answer for it with his life.

The President gave his representa-
tives autograph letters to present to
the mediators.
These letters refer to the unofficial
character of the representatives and
indicate clearly that the final decision
on all questions propounded. SO far
as the United States is concerned, will
be made by the government at Wash

ing done for the moving pictures"
Pitt said he met Becker almost ev-
cry day after Becker became head of
the so-called strong arm squad.
Martin T. Manton, chief counsel for
the defence, objected repeatedly to
District Attorney Whitman's ques
tions to the witness, but was invari-
ably overruled.
On July Is, the day before the muir
der, Pitt swore, he saw Becker at
police headquarters and was told by
him that arrangements had been made
for getting an affidavit from Dora
Gilbert, Rosenthars first wife, TO be
used to blacken RosenthaPs character
in an ,endeavor to offset his story to
the district attorney.
Then Becker told me-" said the wit
ness, that he and l had to have an
alibi for that night Keep away from
Times Square tonight he told me-"
What's coming off, 1 asked.
Never mind said Becker. Do as
you are told. We've got TO have an
alibi Tomorrow you'll know why"
Pitt said Becker sent him to the
Lafayette baths to meet Harry Val
Dora Gilbert's house where Pitt per-
sonally took the woman's affidavit.
After the murder, said Pitt. Beck
er had said with reference to the affi-
davit, It's not much use now"
Pitt Avoids Becker's Gaze
Pitt showed signs of nervousness
during his testimony and evaded
Becker's glance studiously.
The witness said he called on Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty and did
the best he could to establish an abb
for Becker. He saw Becker later and
was sent to see Rose, then under arrest
He reported that Rose agreed to allow
Becker to select his lawyer. Becker then
despatched Pitt, the witness swore, to
Roses house on Long Island. The wit
ness was not allowed to say for what
purpose he made this trip.
The next day, Sunday, Pitt asserted,
Becker said:
81 wonder If that bunch OF - -
will squeal on me-"
Then Becker told me to see Rose, y
said Pitt, land assure him that he was
doing everything he could for him and
for him to say nothing.
The next time Pitt saw Becker was
in the Tombs prison, after his arrest.
Becker said, according to Pitt: Didn't
| tell you those - - would squeal
on me? 1 want you to go out and get
everything you can on Jack Rose. Get
hold of the men in my squad and have
them testify l had no conversation with
Mrs Rosenthal on the night of the raid
Pitt said he saw Becker many times
in the Tombs after that. He visited him
every day for three weeks after his ar
rest until Becker went to the death
house at Sing Sing. Once he told Becker
he said, that friend of the gunner ha6
told him to tell Becker the gunner
wanted $500 and that if they did not get
1t quick there would be trouble.
well Becker said" according 10 The
witness, tell them / have not got it now
but as soon as 1 can get my hands or
$500 the gunner will get il"
Pitt said he wrote Becker almost con
stantly after his conviction and tina
Becker wrote him from the death house
After Beckers conviction and sentenc
ing he said he journeyed with the party
up to the prison.

WORLDS PRODUCTION
OF SPELTER IN 1878

Henry r. Merton & Co, Limited, with
It's usual promptness. has issued It's re-
port OF the worlds production OF spelter
in 1913 under date OF January Il, 1914.
It's total Is 800. $50 long tons. This agrees
closely with our own total reported on
January :, 1914. viz, l001. 100 metric
tons. OF 9S5 900 long tons, says the En-
ginccring s: Mining Journal.
We have previously discussed the great
increase in the American production. The
European production also showed large
increase, which wouid nave been larger
had not the curtailment, prescribed by
the convention in certain countries, come
Into play In the latter part OF 1913.
The interesting features of last year 5
statistics are connected with relatively
minor parts of the production. viz. tho
increase In Australia from 2260 to 1853
tons, and in Sweden and Norway from
5000 to 1900 tons The latter is wholly
electrically smeltcd spelter, the product
OF one works In Sweden and two, or
more, in Norway, The major part OF il Is.
we believe. the result of resmeltipg dross
and scrap, but some OF It is derived d.
rccLly from ore.

Rich Ore Streak Has AS.
sumed a More Permanent
Character.

The new incline Wine at tho Seven
Troughs Coalition property has reached
a depth of 100 feet below the lowest
workings. according to information COM
ing to r. j. Evans
The vein has turned from Its former
dip OF about nifty degrees to an almost
perpendicular position, a change that Is
welcomed, as 1t Is believed tho faults
and breaks encountered above have been
pa sscd. The vein is now continuous and
carries n high-grade gold ore, the vein
being fully ten feet In width and the
highs grade streak being about ten inches
wide In quartz against the foot wall.
This ore is running several hundred DOL
lars to the ton and Is still mined sue
cessfully by machine drills.
In the stope north of this winze the
ore has been followed for some distance
along the strike OF the vein Here the
quartz streak averages eight Inches IN
width and samples very high, some OF
the recent assays showing $500 to the
ton The development for several weeks
in this section of the mine has shown
consta Mt Improvement In the stope
tho ore Is widening out both TO the north
and south and the quartz Ia collecting
into compact bodies
Good progress is being made In this
development the machine drills being
able 10 break two feet to each shift. The
