QUICK WITTED BOY
 AVERTS BAD PANIC
Children Frightened By Small Blaze at Children's Home.-Early
 Evening Blaze.


 Evening Blaze.
 Owing to the cool headedness of one of the boy inmates of the Chil- dren's Home what might have been dangerous panic was narrowly aVerted late last night. Suddenly the sleeping children were awakened by the cry of Fire and then the cracking of the flames could be heard.
 Panic stricken the children began to shout and cry and run hither and thither until one little fellow quieted his friends by yelling that it was only little blaze and then proceeded to take an axe and chop away the burn ing woodwork. The fire was around some pipes beneath a bath tub. A still . alarm was sent in but by the time the firemen arrived the flames had been extinguished.
 The fire department responded to another call earlier in the evening when an alarm was sounded from box 37. The fire was in a house at No. 5S Beaver street, owned by J. Glawecki of Hartford. The fire is supposed to have been caused by l some one who was smoking in bed. Damages will be covered by $100.

HANS SCHMIDT ASKS
 FOR ANOTHER TRIAL
Convicted Slayer of Anna Aumuller Says He Cut Up Girls Body
 to Shield Physician.

New York, July 2s.-Casting aside all pretence of insanity, hans Schmidt, the priest who cut up the body of Anna Aumuller several months ago and threw portions into the Hudson, formally applied for a new trial yesterday.
 Through his lawyer Aiphonse G. confined in the death house at Sing Sing, served notice on District Attor- ney Whitman of a motion for a re- trial. In an affidavit koelble sets forth that his client was found guilty of murder in the first degree almost wholly on his (Schmidt's) own testi- mony. The affidavit also asserts that the Aumuller girl was not murdered but died as the result of an illegal operation performed by a surgeon. It is claimed that Schmidt cut up the body in a vain effort to, prevent scandal and to protect the physician implicated.
 MT. Koelble has until Sept. 21 to file additional affidavits. Arguments on the motion will be heard by Jus- tice Vernon M. Davis in the crimi- nal branch of the supreme court on Oct. 5.
 At Schmidt's two trials an insanity defense was offered. The jury in the first trial failed to reach a verdict, but the second trial resulted in Schmidt's conviction. He was sentenced to the electric chair.

E# BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,
NJ Washington, May 4.-The MeXi-
+ can developments moved rapidly
today with evident tenseness both
in the military and diplomatic sit
uations. Three long sessions were
held by the South American nnedi-
ators, the latter stating through
Secretary Bryan that Huerta had
named Milo Rabaza and Augustin
Garza, to confer with the media
tors.
The length of the conference of
the nediators with Bryan today
led to the belief that some of the
crucial questions were being ap-
preached. While no announcement
was made IL is generally under
stood that mediation will be linn
tied to the Tampico incident, as a
result of the Constitutionalist's un-
yielding attitude.
Reports of the desperate condi-
tion of Huerta at Mexico City con-
tinued circulating, with circum-
stantial details from authentic
sources leaving no doubt the re-
ports are correct.
AGAIN DEMAND SURRENDER.
General Funston reported from
Vera Cruz, that the Mexicans are
continuing to demand the surren-
der of the waterworks and asked
what the United States contem-
plates doing.
The situation at Mexico City added
-
Quin d. CaSuS from Carlsbad. 1t is
believed Casus will be made foreign
minister succeeding Rojas, which is in
line with the presidency. 1t is be-
lieved he would be a good man to
Huerta.
the president would so to Brooklyn
on Monday to meet, the Montana,
which is bringing the bodies of the
men slain at Vera Cruz, back home.
ELIMINATE THE REBELS.
General Carranza and the Cons titu-
tionahsts today were practically elm
mated from the proceedings of the
South American ENJOYS who are try
ing to settle the Mexican question. In
a telegram to CarranZa the mediatOrS
announced that in view of his refusal
to agree to an armistice with Huerta,
they withdrew the invitation to him
to send personal representatives to
participate in the mediation negotia-
tions.
THE FIRST CONFERENCE.
The mediatinS ENJOYS reached the
state department and went into con-
ference with Secretary Bryan shortly
before noon Ambassador Da Cana
of Brazil, and Minister Naon of Ar
gentina, arrived first. A few minutes
later the Chilean minister. Mr.. SuareZ,
Joined them. Secretary Bryan said that
some announcement might be made
later.
A general understanding after the
state department conference was that
the mediators had decided TO limit
their activities at this time to a set
