ALL. HOLIDAYS ON MONDAYS is Plan of Cleveland Official, Says Would Be Better for Employ
 CT and Employee

CLEVELAND, O., July 14.-"All
 holidays on Monday" is the plan
 which has been worked out by J. F. Harton, an official of the Cleveland
 waterworks department. Harton
 would also arrange the distribution
 of holidays so that they would fall
 at approximately regular intervals
 instead of in groups. as is now the
 case Harton points out that his plan
 would be welcomed by al lworkers,
 because ten times each year it would
 give them a short vacation of two and one-haH days. Employers would also endorse it, he thinks, because
 a holiday which falls in the middle
 of the, week hampers their work
 Washington's birthday, under the proposed scheme would fall on the first Monday following February P. Lincoln's day would be transferred to
 the first Monday in April. Then would follow Memorial day on the last day in May, Independence day the first Monday in July and civic day the first Monday in August La
 bor day would fall on the first Mon 1 day in September. as it does now, Columbus day on the second Monday
 in October and Thanksgiving on the last Monday in November would con- plete the list except Christmas and
 New Years, which Harton would leave unchanged. With the help of pro gressive associates Harton will a. \ tempt to have his plan framed into 8 bill and Introduced at the next l session of congress.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, ENGLISH STATESMAN, DEAD.
Was Regarded as Greatest Englishman
 of His Generation.

London. July S.-Joseph Chamber lain, the famous English statesman, died here last night. His death. which removes one of the most strik- ing figures from British politics in the past generation, came as an entire sur prise, as the condition of his health was not publicly known to be any verse than at any time ia the past two or three years.
 Mrs. Chamberlain, who has nursed her husband since he was stricken with paralysis seven years ago, and
 his son, Austen Chamberlain, were with MT. Chamberlain when death oc- cured at 10.30 o'clock. The event cast gloom over the London season, which
 Is at it's height.
 according to his own wish, will be most simple one. will be held in Mes
 siah Unitarian church, Birmingham,
 next Monday. Interment will be in Hockley cemetery. In his youth MT. Chamberlain was Sunday school
 teacher in the Messiah church. Mrs. Chamberlain throughout the day received numerous messages of copdolence. including telegrams from King George, Queen Mary and the members of the royal family, and from prominent persons at home and abroad
 Not since the death of the Earl of Beaconsneld in 1881 has the loss of an
 English statesman called forth such
 universal expressions of regret and the sinking of party differences as the
 passing of Joseph Chamberlain, The liberal and radical newspapers today vie with the unionist journals in warm hearted tributes to the man they un- gTudg1ngly confess was one of the greatest Englishmen of his generation. who ren 3ered invaluable services to
 the country and the empire and was as
 true hearted patriot as ever 1 brsathed.
 The Morning Post eharactertzes MT. Chamberlain as the greatest English man since William Pitt Several of the morning newspapers devote almost the whole Of theil issue to biographical sketches, memoirs and personal appre- cations from home and abroad by leading men of the day. The consen- sus or opinion is that his greatest ser Vlce was in arousiHg his countrymen to the consciousness of their great
 colonial and imperial interests.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
 MEXICAN SITUATION
Officials Refuse to Consider That All
 Chances for Peace Have Fled.

Washington, July 3.-Wfth Mexican
 mediation in recess pending action by
 the constitutionalistS, officials of the Washington government tonight re- fused to concede that all chances for
 peace had fled Administration lead CTS held to this optimistic view despite the fact that no definite word had come from General Carranza, first chief of the constitutionaltsts respecting the conference with his subordinate gen. erals over the invitation from the me-
 diators for his agents to participate in the discussion with Huerta repre-
 sentatives
 Tonight Charles A. Douglass, one
 of Carranza's counsellors, who has
 been chiefly interested in efforts to bring about the meeting between the Mexican antagonists, had a long con-
 ference with Secretary Bryan Prior to this he had conferred for hours with
 Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera,
 Carranza's chief agents in Washing ton
 It was admitted that messages had
 been received from Carranza at Sal tillo but it was learned these mes
 sages asked for further information about the proposed conference and also with relation to the attitude of the United States. It was intimated that some assurances Nwere wanted by the constituencies as to when the United States would retire from Vera Cruz in the event that the constitu- tionalists should agree to a provisional government pending constitutional election MT. Bryan would not dis
 cuss the situation but the general in dication in all sources was that noth- ing definite would be known concern ing the constitutionalists' decision for several days.
 That the Washington government is
 still exerting all possible influence upon the constitutionalists to yield the pro- posed conference again was apparent.
 John R. SilliInan, vice consul at Sal- tillo. left tonight to return to his post, there to do every thing In his power to i induce Carranza to agree to a pro- visional government. Mir Silliman had long talk with President Will son before his departure

TO ENTERTAIN CIVIL WAR
 VETS. RESIDENT IN LONDON.
VIII Be Guests of American Residents
 Today.

London, July 3.-The American resi- dents of London will entertain the Civil War veterans who live in this country with an outing tomorrow. It Is not likely that all of the 150 sol diers and sailors who draw their pen sions through the American consul general in London will be able to at tend for many of them are very feeble but already more than score have ac- cepted the invitation, some with the rather pathetic appeal that there will have to be tickets for two. as I must take somebody to look arter me" One of the first to accept was George Mon roe, naval veteran, who is 105 years old and still as active as many of the youngsters of 75 or more
 The London veterans are very well looked after. Most of them are with friends or relative sor in comfortable homes around London. In Bermond- sey, in the southeast of London, they have a club where those able to travel gather once a month under the presi- dency of John Davis. an American naval pensioner who for 36 years has been connected with the London city mission. At these meetings Davis gen. orally entertains about 40 of his com rades. His only rule is that no liquor of any kind shall enter the club room and he has been successful in getting this rule observed outside the club by all the members

STATE DEPARTMENT
 SPEAKS FOR wTEAaAMs.
seerstary Bryan Says George Fred I'd In Albania 10 Observe Conditions

Washington, July s-Responzibflity for published statements crittcizine conditions in Albania credited to George Fred Williams, minister of the United States to Greece, was discla1m- ed by ehe state department tonight in e formal statement issued by Secre- tary Bryan
 The minister's report on his acttvt- ties In the Balkans has not reached Washington, and heretofore officials of the government have been silent con- corning press despatches quoting him. Secretary Bryan's statement follows:
 Tn reply to inquiries addressed to the department of state as to what au-- thor1ty the minister at Athens had to make the remarks attributed relative to the condition of afratrs in AibanSr- the secretary Of state has replied thaf A1r Williams was only authoraxed bv the. department of state to visit Eptrus to observe conditions and report the result of his obseryations to the ds- partmenf. and that the published re- marks which he is alleged to have made were given solely on his own re- sponsfntlfty, and with mo authority whatsoever from the department. Mr. Wfnams report of his yiett has not yet been received"
 In official circles fhe action of the government in issuing this Statement without awaiting the arrival of MT. W1InamS report was regarded as high " dgn1ncant. It was said that Presi- dent Wilson himself had called the at- tendon of the department to the grayi- ty of the situation, suggesting that no time ehould be lost in letting the inter ested powers and the world know that in attacking the Prince of Weld and bis government in Albania, Minister Wl1nams was not acting rpon instTuc- tons from Washington.
 Press despatches have reported the minister as rendering his resagnattou, but Secretary Bryan said a resfrna. tacn had not reached the department

found a spot of blood on the spec tacles. He also described stains which were on the lower landing, up both flights of stairs, on the side walls, and three bloody footprints and sev- eral spots of blood in Mrs. Angles rooms. There was one stain near the leg of the piano, another under the ironing board in the rear room and on a mat near Mrs, Angles bed. Tests Of other stains were not com plete.
 Mrs. Angle Refuses to Testify.
 At this point a recess was taken wf:ile Mrs. Angle was questioned in private. There were present Chief Brennan, her counsel, her father, and two stenographers. She refused to answer questions The coroner re- turned to the courtroom and had Dr. Weaver repeat description of the blood stains. The coroner then said:
 Coroner's Statement.
 'In view of the evidence of Dr. Weaver, I find that he not only found spots or blood on the lower concrete landing. and spots of blood on the flight of stairs leading from this landing to the second landing above; that there~are also stains on the walls on each side of the second landing several feet from the floor and on the bannister near the second landing, and in front of Mrs. Angles door. also find that Dr. Weaver found spots in her apartments in various places, particularly near the ironing board and near the cedar chest, and near her cot all of which have been proven to be blood.
 Held Without Bail.
 .-nese facts, together with the ind ing of the spectacles at the further end of the hallway on the veranda outside, also bloodstained, and the further fact that Mrs. Angle, then desirous apparently of telling her own story, has, under instructions of her counsel. failed to tell anything of it I think I must. under the circum- stances. in view of her failure to ex- press herself at all in the matter, ask the chief to hold her in custody. will continue this matter until a flu ture date to be determined upon later although I may say that the work oi Investigating the case will proceed. will not at this time set any date fol further continuance of this hearing It will probably be some time during next week.
 While Mrs. Angle was in an ad joining room, Harrison E. Ballou. sor of the dead man, approached her. Mrs Angle had out her arms ant said: Harry, you don't believe killed your father, do you?" The son did not reply.
