Providence, r. L. Sept. 3.-The de-
Tense of Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Blair
Mohr to the charge that in jealous
rage she plotted the death Of her hus-
band will be that both DR.. C. Franklin
Mohr and herself were victims of
conspiracy, unless present expectations
are disappointed
Lost Her composure.
In an interview today, which was
terminated when she lost her COM
posure for the first time since her ar
rest, she declared her belief that the
three assassins who now accused her
had planned to waylay the doctor and
rob him. She holds that when they
broke down under the grilling of the
police they hoped to mitigate their
punishment by representing that they
had been melted by her upon the
promise of a reward.
Attended Husbands Funeral.
The body of Dr. Mohr was placed in
a receiving tomb at Swan Point GEM
etery after brief ceremonies in the
presence Of a handful of relatives and
neighbors. Mrs. Mohr and her two
children, Charles Franklin, Jr., and
Virginia Blair. were present at the
service at the Mohr home in Elmwood
and accompanied the body to the GEM
etery- Three carriages sufficed to car
ry the funeral party, which included
four professional pail bearers. Mrs.
Mohr did not look at the body. Only
once, as she was within a few feet
of the casket. did she show any emo
ton. Then for a few moments she
wept convulsively.
Miss Burger Recovering.
Miss Emily G. Burger, the doctors
secretary, jealousy of whom. it is al
legged, inspired the crime, has not yet
been told of the death of her en-
ployer- She remains at the hospital
recovering from bullet wounds received
in the automobile drive when the doc
tor was attacked. After visiting her
today her brother-in-law, George
Rookie said that Miss Burgers feel
ings for the physician were such that
knowledge of his death would kill her
She frequently inquiries as to the con-
dition Of DIR. Mohr and is told that
he is resting comfortably.
Tried to Reunite Mohrs.
For long time" said Rooke. Miss
Burger did all in her power to re-
unite DR.. Mohr and his wife. She
pleaded with the doctor to overlook
their differences and take his wife
back She found that he was bitter
against Mrs. Mohr and would not en-
tertain any such idea"
Statement by Miss Burger.
During their talk Miss Burger gave
Rookie a statement for the press. At
the conclusion of her recital she was
exhausted, as she is still very weak
from wounds in her jaw and shoulder

AGENCY SUES
NATIONAL PENCIL CO.
Claim Leo M. Frank Engaged Them
When Mary Phagan Was Killed.

were begun in the superior court here
today by the Pinkerton National De-
tective agency to secure $1,20O alleged
to be due the agency from the Nation
al Pencil company, in whose factory
Mary Phagan was killed April 2, 1913.
The petition claims Leo NJ. Frank,
then superintendent of the factory, en-
ployed the agency Immediately after
the crime was discovered. Frank later
was convicted of the crime and lynch
ed after his death sentence had been
commuted to life imprisonment.
Attorneys for the pencil company
claim the detective agency did not car
ry out it's contract. Harry Scott. di-
vision superintendent of the agency,
with offices here, appeared as wit
ness against Frank at the latter's trial.

hoatation of a much larger credit loan
here.
There was no confirmation or denial
OF this report by the big men of New
York's financial world.
Preliminary Loan.
According to the report, the collater-
al on which this preliminary loan was
issued was brought to New York in
four lots and aggregated the approxi-
mate figures of the sum borrowed
Two of the shipments of, collateral,
totalling about $55,0O0,000 were
brought from Great Britain to Hall
fax aboard British men of war and
shipped thence to New York with
about $4O,O00,000 in gold within the
past thirty days. The two other
bundles of securities were said to have
been brought here aboard the liners
Adriatic and st. Paul. which reached
New York yesterday.
Pound Sterling Rallies.
THIS loan, if made, was regarded
as but make-shift to clarity the
surcharged atmosphere of the foreign
exchange markets. Spurred by an
unseen stimulant rates rallied in spec
tacular manner today, sterling soaring
ten cents or more at the opening of
the market They fell back later,
stantial gain of 3 1-2 scents was rec
orded- Sterling closed at 4.67.
Great Britain's Needs.
Conservative estimates of Great
Britain's needs here in the form of
credit placed the sum today at a
minimum of half a billion dollars
with twice that sum mentioned as an
outside total. A billion dollar credit
loan, if floated. would not, it was
thought be raised i'm one huge is
sue. Such a sum would be too great
for rapid digestion, in the opinion of
some authorities. But half a billion
dollan loan, it was thought, might
be floated
Bankers of Chief Cities Called Upon.
To furnish this staggering sum, it
was said, the bankers of all the chief
cities of the country would be called
on to participate. Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, Pittsburgh. Atlanta-in
fact, all reserve oSnters and some
cities where there are no reserve banks
would be represented in conference
with New York, either by delegates or
would then be placed before them and
they would be asked to contribute
their share to insure uninterrupted
continuance Of Americas export trade.
Matter of Collateral.
Whether Great Britain could furnish
sufficient American securities at pres
ent to serve as collateral for this big
loan was another question considered.
1t wa sthought that should she not
be able to raise this sum, Canadian
and South American securities-gov-
ernment bonds and even high class
railway bonds-would be though suf-
ffciently stable to serve as collateral
for a. part of the loan.

TEN MORE BODIES, FOUND
IN SUBMARINE "a
They were Crowded Together in The
Engine Room.

Honolulu. Sept 3.-Ten more bodies
were found today in the hull Of the
United States Submarine F-4. They

room where a hole was cut through
the steel plates to effect an entrance.
One body was identified as that Of
Ivan L. Mahan. machinists mate. Of
Lima, Ohio.
Members Of naval board inquiry de-
clined to discuss the question Of
whether the finding of so many bodies
in the compartment indicated the ma
ture Of the accident which caused the
vessel to sink in Honolulu Bay March
25. with twenty-five officers and men
on board.
1t was suggested by some OF these
working on the submarine that an
explosion elewhere In the vessel

So far thirteen bodies have been
taken from the hold of the submax me-.
Others have been located covered
