Washington, April 11.---Thc in
tense situation created here by the
arrest of American marines by Mex
ican authorities at Tampico, was
greatly relieved today. with the re-
ccipt of Gen. Huerta's reply and
apology for the action. forwarded
from Mexico City by Charge
70 Shaunnessey. While no definite
statement was obtained in Official
circles. ii was broadly intimatcd
that the necessary redress for the al
ront had been avoided.
Reporting directly to the navy de-
partmcnt Rear Admiral Mayo, in
command of the American naval
forces at Tampico, oabled that he
hal demanded that the Mexican CON-
mander salute the American flag IN
eXpiation of the affront.
His message said he had given tnt
Mexican officer "a hours from G
o'clock Friday evening to reply. No
further message had come from AG-
mral Mayo, when the department
closed tonight.
Officials of the state and navy dc
partment considered the statement
from Hucrta was full and frank. It
promised an immediate investigation

ng the marines and parading them
publicly through the streets; and n
the official statement issued by the
state department it is said that
Gen. iiuerta has promised that III
tho investigation should develop a
greater responsibility on the part
OF the Colonel the penalty applicable
to the case will be given"
Gen. Huertas S good faith, was ap.
rarently without reservation, as
some doubt was expressed as to
whether the salute could be de.
mandcl, by what is termed an 'Ir-
responsible Act" by a subordinate
officer, especially in view of prom
isc and full apology by the MeXicGn
government.
There was nothing definite con-
corning the resumption of hostili.ics
around Torreon. Secretary Bryan
said he thought the situation re-
garding the safety of the foreign Gil
companies at Tampico had improved,
in consequence of repeated demands
to the contestants. He declined TO
divulge the source Of information
which gave rise to this belief.
Secretary Bryan explained that
he had instructed Consular Agent
Carothers to demand of Gen. Car
ranza that the case of every Span
lard be considered separately on its
merits and that there be no more
Wholesale deportations because of
race. MIR. Bryan indicated that he
would continue to prosecute the
claims of the Spaniards without

Justice Golf Celebrating as to Jus

Will be Given Monday.

New York, April 1I.---With the
lives of the four gunner at stake
the most remarkable legal conlitt
in the history Of the State of New
York was staged here today.
1t was conflict brought on by
an eleventh hour appeal to get Il
new trial for "Dago Frank. ."
Whitley Lewis" Lefty Louis" an
"Gyp the Blood" the four yong
men sentenced to die on Monday for
assassinatins Herman Roscnthal.
The legal battle opened with the
arrival of District Attorney Charles
s. Whitman from Chicago from
whence he had come en- a fast train
to combat the plea of counsel for
the gunner before Justice Goh, be-
fore whom the condemned men
were convicted and sentenced. Im-
mediately upon his arrival here, the
District Attorney dashed to his ot-
flee and there conferred with his as
sistants and mapped out the plan
cam pain TO smash tho plea of At
torney c. f. G. Wahle that his new
evidence in the form of three afriGa.
Wits entitled the prisoners to new
trial.
Back of the cncrts of Attorney
Wahle Is plan to get a reprieve for
the four men until the second trial
of Charles Becker. cx-LieItenant OF
Police, Is completed. The gunmcn's
counsel believe that during this
trial, evidence will be produced tc
show that either Harry Vall6h or
"Bridgie" Weber killed Rosenthal.
Governor Glynn has refused 10
give the eunmen a reprieye. 1t is
probable that the arguments before
Justice Goff viii be drawn out so
that he will be unable to reach 4
decision before Monday, If this
proves to be the case the Governor
will again be asked to delay the
executions.
If Justice Golf is impressed by The
new evidence a new trial will be or
dcred. This would act as an indef-
mite stay of execution.

plainly that he would fight the gun.

stantly killed another negro. Alex.
ander Robinson, known by his assc-
ciates as Little Head" The killing
took place in the rear room Of the
saloon OF Paul Cody, 2515 CONNER
cial avenue.
The two negroes had been quar-
reling for short time previous to
the tragedy, and the subject that
brought on the controversy was
swearing Each accusing the
other of using foul language. Both
negroes had been drinking heavily
and little attention was paid TO their
talk By their companions, until Gil
ton who had watched his opportun-
lity to get a pistol from under the
bar of the saloon while the bar
tender had stepped from behind the
bar to go to the toilet, showed up
with the gun in hand.
Going back to the card room
where Robinson was playing a game
at table, he began firing at Rob-
inson. The latter jumped up from
the table and then fell to the floor,
Clifton putting another shot into
him while he lay PROSTATE on the
floor. Robinson was dead within
minute after the first shot was fired.
/ Colored Officer John Riley. who
Twas standing OH the corner of the
fstreet, heard the shots and at first
thought they were made by the
handling of beer boxes. He startel
in to investigate and entering the
saloon was met near the door, by Gill
ton who was starting out of the sa-
loon with the intention of escaping,
having the pistol in his hand, as
tho officer entered. He held the
gun to the officers head and dehe1
him to arrest him. When the Off
l
Ger saw the shootist approaching ne
made motion to get his gun, in do
ing SO he dropped his club. With
the gun still pointed at the officer,
Clifton picked up The billy and
backed into the saloon. Officer
Riley went out on the street and
took position so that he corld
watch both the side door and the
front door, expecting the negro TO
appear, which lie did, a mina.e
later coming out the front door,
holding the club in one hand and
1.-THE pistol In the other. The pistol
he held in his hand by the butt end.

Joe Winters, prevented him from
making his second get away. When
captured he was getting ready TO
make 4 long hike south.
Deputy Sheriff Jchn O'Donneli
who made the arrest with Deputy
Sheriff Parker of Mound City, learned
that Winters was in Mound City.
He notified Deputy Sheriff Parker at
Mound City to meet him and on his
arrival in Mound City the two offi-
GERS went to the house where it was
though Winters was hiding. 1t had
been stated before that the captdrc
was made in Mounds but this was
erroneous as he was caught in
Mound City and at the extreme
northern end OF the city.
When the officers approached tho
house a negro was on guard in the
front yard. Deputy Sheriff Parker
told the negro that they had SUM
mons for the negress who lived in
tho house. The guard became ex-
cited and asked VINO Deputy Sheriff
C'Donncll was ana he was told he
was one of his friends. When it was
seen that the guard did not want
the officers to enter they immedi-
ately walked into the yard and on
their way totnc house asked IL Win
ters WAS in. The guard denied he
was in the house. Deputy Sheriff
ODonnell instructed Deputy Sheriff
Parker to so to the back door and
hat he would go 10 the front way.
When the NEGRO guard saw they
were about to enter he told the offi-
ccr tina: Winters was inside and was
making preparations TO leave.
When the officers entered Win
ters was changing clothes and about
ready 10 begin his trip across the
river and down south. He had only
been in Mound City an hour and 4
half before he was captured. He had
been some place north in hiding AMI
had just come to Mound City to get
a change of clothes to make the trip
south. Ills other clothing was badly
torn in getting out Of jail. 1t has
not been learned where he had been
previous to his appearance in Mound

Converted into Crystals,


The Chilean nitrate beds are found
IN 2 strip of country about 500 miles
long. at a distance varying from Ia
to 80 miles from the Pacific coast.
The deposits lie in great beds. or
strata. and the product Is easily
mined. Tho everything strata are
penetrated by small shafts or drills
on through the natural nitrate bees
to the underlying bad roek-or SUBJ
stratum of clay or gravel. At the
bottom Of the shafts charges OF
dynamite or powder are placed,
which. when exploded break up and
scatter the surface layers and the
nitrate. The fragments Of nitrate
are then gathered from the debris and
carried in carts or small cars to the
oficinas. of factories, which convert
the natural product into the white
CRYSTALS OF nitrate Of soda, sack them
and then transport them to the near
est port for shipment.
Just now, however, the greatest
demand for nitrate will be to make
powder and other explosives. Nitric
acid Is NEEDED to manufacture nitro
glycerine, dynamite, smokeless pow
der and the various kinds of high ex-
plosives used In these 1sodern times.
Even in time of peace the United
States uses for manufacturing exple-
sives three times the amount of MI
trate used in the production Of fer
tilizer. In times Of war no estimate
can be made as to the amount the
world will demand, and doubtless the
price Of Chilean nitrate will soar.
