has a branch office in the Marquette

definitely established that he was in
that city when Kleist got there.
There was a suspicion that Kleist
didn't exactly know his destination.
He was a guest at the home OF Fred

Mrs Klelst was ask ed last evening
if she had received any message from
Kleist telling her Of his change OF

from him from Mogollon. He did not
reveal in that letter any intention OF
leaving the mining camp.
When an effort was made to get
statement last night from Mr.. Brei-

Chicago, the correspondent was told
that Mr. Breitung and his secretary
would not leave their apartment or
hold anv communication with an In
terviewer.
Mrs. Breitung and her daughter were in
and out Of the st. Regis Hotel several
times yesterday, according to their maid,
but their movements were not perceptible
to newspaper men. Almost invariably in
quiry for them at the hotel was met with
the statement that they were out. Only

Mexico City, March 20.-Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge daft
flares, left for Vera Cruz tonight, al
though suffering from an attack Of SCI
atica He was accompanied by Thomas
Beaumont Hohler, the British charge
here Mrs. Shaughnessy was one OF the
party, but her young son remained here
with his aunt
While it is given out that the American
charge is going to Vera Cruz solely for
the benefit Of his health. which requires
q lower altitude than that of Mexico City,
it is believed here that the conference OF
Minister Portillo with John Lind and the
reported reopening of negotiations with
the United States by General Huerta has
much TO do with Mr.. OShaughnessy' s
trip.
The charge admitted to-day that he was
seriously considering the question OF re-
signing He said, however, that If he did
resign 1t would be because OF his bad
health. His physician Is not optimistic
regarding his early recovery.
Mr.. 'Shaughnessy says that II his state
OF health permits he will return to the
Federal capital on Monday. He denies
any knowledge Of conference between
John Lind, personal representative OF
President Wilson, and Jose Lopez Portillo,
the Mexican Foreign Minister. Senior
Portllo was reported to-day TO be at ORR
zaba.
President Huerta agreed to-day TO per-
nit the American Embassy 10 receive
arms and ammunition consigned TO II by
the United States government for the
protection Of American citizens In the
event Of disturbances in the capital The
arms and ammunition, however, have not
vet been removed from the custom
house. Little by little" is the manner in
which General Huerta proposes to permit
their delivery.
Notwithstanding that other foreign
powers have been able to introduce arms
the Germans having gone to the extent
of establishing wireless station-the
Mexican government raised constitutional
objections against the Americans follow
ing their example.
Time after time Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
conferred with the Mexican Foreign Office
and with General Huerta personally, and
only his diplomatic handling Of the Presi-
dent averted a definite refusal OF per-
nit for the entry of the guns, which nave
been in the government warehouse here
for ten days.
Mexican bankers denied to-day that any
definite agreement had been reached TO
accede to the demand Of President
Huerta for 100000 pesos monthly The
proposition, they said. still remained un-
der consideration.
In giving his Cabinet ministers the privi-
leges and precedence Of generals OF brig
ade President Huerta Is thought to be
following out his policy Of naturalization
and to be aiming at impressing on the
members Of his official family their prop
er place, for the rank conferred on them
Is only fourth in the Mexican army.

Qualified Denial Issued of
Army Officers designations
{ Bv Gable 10 The Tribune ]

London, March 21.-Statements ema-
mating from various quarters, both in
Ireland and IN London, were repeated
last night to the effect that a large
number Of officers of all ranks under
orders for service in Ireland, or about
10 receive orders for such service, have
resigned their commissions. One mes
sage states that all the cavalry officers
in the Curragh camp have resigned.
This was submitted to the authorities
at the War Office. and shortly before
midnight the following official reply
was given out:
The statement in this form is abso-
lutely untrue. Rumors have been re-
ceived Of few designations, and these
are being dealt with"
This is, Of course. a natural attempt
on the part Of the government TO min
imize a situation Of appalling gravity.
News OF the threatened RESERVATIONS
reached the War Office in the afternoon
and conference of ministers was sum
moned urgently to meet at the house
of Colonel Seely. Secretary Of State for
War. Among those present, il ia un-
derstood, were Premier Asquith. Win
ston Churchill, Colonel Seely and the
higher members Of the War Office staff
on leaving the conference Winston
Churchill Immediately summoned the
First Sea Lord Of the Admiralty,
Prince Louis OF Battenberg, to come 10
Admiralty House. The two met there
at midnight for a further conference
affecting the action OF the navy in the
Ulster crisis.
Cabinet Ministers Speak.
-Four Cabinet ministers spoke of the
Ulster situation at different meetings
last night. John Burns, President Of
The Board OF Trade, in an address on
the occasion OF the unwilling OF his
portrait in the National Liberal Club,
gaid:
Home Rule is question mainly for
Ireland itself. Three fourths OF the
PEOPLE there have demanded it persist
entiy Tor years, and We have no right
70 listen 10 the demand for more con-
cessions or yield 10 clsmor. We have
no more desire TO yield to lawless law
yers than 10 lawless Iaborers."
Thomas McKinnon Wood, Secretary
for Scotland, said: I'VE will carry
Home Rule By agreement II We possibly
can. but without II II we must"
Augustine Birrell. Chief Secretary for
ireland, in his speech declared that the
governments proposals. gave Ulster
freedom from coercion for six years
and that the gcbeme Of Andrew Bonar
Law, the leader Of tho Opposition In
meant Immediate coercion
II a referendum went against Ulster.

get out Of the zone Of possible trouble.
Another significance given to the trip
Is the fact that sehor' Portillo. Minister
of Foreign Affairs in Huerta's Cabinet.
and John Lind. the Presidents personal
representative in Mexico, have been in
conference in Vera Cruz. A cable mes
sage was received by the President from
Mr.. Lind to-day. but no inkling OF its
contents was given out.
Those close to the administration be-
lieve that some new policy or important
development in the Mexican situation Will
be announced soon. II has been known
for several days that President Wilson
has decided that the "watchtul waiting
policy will not meet the exigencies OF the
situation and that ne has in view some
decided change in attitude.

ROMANCE OF VANDERBILT
HOTEL NEWSGIRL IS OVER
Pretty Nan Corrigan, Who Was Wooed and Won by
Frank Morton Bates at Her Paper Stand Now Sues
Rich e,very Manufacturer for Divorce.

The marriage was Batess third. HIS
first wife was Miss Mary McDougal, or
North Attleboro, who lived with him until
1907. when they were divorced. Bates next
married Jessie Campbell Corcoran, of the
when We Were TwentyOne' company,
which was playing in Attleboro. Later
they were divorced. The former news
girls suit is thus the third Of the kind
that has come In Batess career
Frank NJ. Bates was among the first
guests TO register at the Hotel NanderDllt
and Miss Corrigan was attending the
newsstand. Before she got her job at the
Vanderbilt she had been in charge OF the
newsstand at the Belmont. Bates bought
a book Of Miss Corrigan, and after that
spent a good deal OF his time buying all
editions Of the afternoon papers Inc
next morning he was downstairs as soon
as the newsstand was open. 1t WASH t
long before he had proposed and been ac-
cepted. and Miss Corrgan quit her place
on June 4, 1912. Then she left town with
a girl friend as maid OF honor and was
married to Bates the following day. AT
tho time of the marriage Miss Corrigan
gave her age as twenty-five and Bates
said that he was thirty-three.
At the time Bates met Miss Corrigan

Sir JOfn AIiSeDfOOk SIlOIs AtloiHoy
General. said the government proposed
to go steadily on, adding: Whatever
happens, We will see that law and order
are unfiinchingly observed in Ulster
Military Experts View.
In view OF the partisan claims re-
garding the number of men, the organ
ization and equipment of the Ulster
volunteers, statements by Colonel Da-
court, military correspondent Of The
Times" and II. w. Nevinson, prom
inent Liberal writer of THE Nation,
VINO have been touring Ulster, are i'm
portant
Colonel Dacourt says the 10000 men
enrolled are in the flower Of their age
and of excellent physique. Decentral-
ization has been the system of organi-
cation. Each county forms separate
unit There are siXtyfive battalions, of
which eighteen are in Belfast. The
volunteers have four hundred automo-
biles, two hundred motorcycles and
y
flags, lamps and photographs. Eighty
thousand rifles, according to Colonel
Dacourt, have been distributed in par
GELS each containing five. TO selected
men, so that wholesale seizure Of the
weapons would be impossible.
Mr.. Nevinson estimates that between
10000 and $4,000 men would respond
to a call for the mobilization Of the
volunteers. He thinks the rifles Of the
volunteers obsolete and Of several diff
ferent patterns, and that ammunition
is scarce.
"In scattered groups" continued Mr..
Nevinson. they would try to harrass
the regular army sent to occupy the
country. The movement, therefore, is
not a bluff proper. Neither is it for
midable from a military point of view.
The intention is serious, though fan
tastic, and it is formidable because no
one wants to shoot his own people"
Great depression prevailed on the
Stock Exchange yesterday. Consols
and other securities fell heavily. Many
holders are evidently scared by fears
Of a financial panic, which some sec
lions Of the press are obviously at
tempting to bring about in order to
force the government TO give up Home
Rule.
