The borrower Of dollar usually keeps
out of sight, but not because he fears TO
meet cranks crazed by war talk. He
may find himself surrounded by detec'

not like publicity, but he does not hide
in limousines and bank vaults to avoid

Cortland, N. Y, Sept. l5.-Today,
they brought Ida Brown-until yester-

in walnut box.
New York's "white way" was just
ending its hilarious night as the way
train crept into the Cortland station
at daybleok In coffin in the baggage
cur was the body of the 2O-year-old girl
who had left the Little village to be-
come "great star"
She had been dragged-crushed and
mangled-beneath the wreck of an au-
tomobile on u New York speedway early
yesterday morning, as the climax to a
gay automobile ride with New York
brokers to fashionable road house.
"God took Ida home to save her from
the wrong road,'' sobbed Mrs. William
Brown, the girls mother, as she greet
ed her husband when she stepped down
from the funeral train. "She was good
girl--but, oh! 1 was so afraid she was
getting into bad company.
"I asked Mr.. Shubert last night to
call all his girls in the Winter Garden
chorus together, and tell them of Ida Is
case as an example. 1t may save some
other girl, who is too anxious for q
good time after the show"
Supported by her twentyyear-old
son, Rufus, who had accompanied hei
from New York, and by her husband
the mother was carried to carriage
Half hysterical, she was driven to tht
old home where funeral services fol
her little girl were held this afternoon
Ida was buried in the rural graveyard
and on her grave were red roses, fo

Her mother tried at first to discour-

Ida, she realized, Was popular among
her school mates and had plenty oil
fellows. In vain, she tried to steer
her course toward matrimony, but when
she failed, she consented to accompany
the girl to New York, where she was to
become star"
"It was to protect her that 1 went
to New York, too" the mother sobbed
~ believed in my girf but knew that
temptations faced her in the great
city"
Ida Brown s beauty attracted theatri-

Warning TO Americans.

Washington, Sept. l5.-The state de-
partment today issued the following
warning to Americans to stay out of
Mexico.
"Owing to disturbed conditions pre-
vailing along the Mexican border, the
department repeats the advices hereto
fore given for American citizens to re.
main on this side OF the international
line for the present"
This official notice Followed newspa-
per announcements that warning Of
this nature had been sent. The Nogales
consul was reported bringing Americans
out Of Sonora in automobiles following
receipt of such warning.
While the state department declared
the proposed steps in the Mexican situa-
ton had nothing to do with the warn
ing, it was deemed particularly signifi-
can't that the notice was issued on the
eve of reeonveniag the Pan-Americah
peace conference.
The peace conferees hope to form o
new policy concerning p0cification OF
Mexico.
Persistent reports have indicated the
conference would recognize CarranzO
but the general belief today was un
qualified recognition would probably
not be recommended by the conference
as whole. The question is one fol-
each nation to decide for itself, witt
America leading.

accept Carranza invitation for {
meeting at the border.
