MARKETS QUIET TODAY
Stagnation Follows Week of Turmoil
in Foreign Money Quotations.

New York, Sept. 4.-Sta gnation to-
day followed the turmoil of the week
in foreign exchange markets here. The
relaxation was so complete that for
more than an hour after the Opening
of the short business Gay not quo
tation on any foreign exchange was
available. This was partly due to the
big exodus Friday from the financial
district of bankers in close touch with
the situation on the eve of the Labor
day holiday.
Partly, too, the easier situation was
ascribed to the far better tone of the
market after It had found itself yes
terday. Further developments were
unexpected prior to Tuesday 1t was
thought the British commission of fl
nanciers might then have reached
New York as we'll as the third great
shipment of gold for Great Britain's s
account. This, like the other two
shipments, IS believed to be coming by
way Of Halifax Nominal quotations
today We're: Sterling, S4.67 francs,
594: marks, 81: Hres, 6l4. None of
these figures showed much variation
from Yesterday.

ARMY LID ON HAITI
Caperton Takes Drastic Step
to Preserve Order.
Military Law Aimed Against
Threatened Uprising.

Port au Prince, Sept. 4.-Rear Ad-
1niral Caperton, in command of the
American expeditionary forces, today
proclaimed martial law at Port au
Prince and in other districts occupied
by American troops
The people are calm.
Caperton's Precautionary Measure.
Washington, Sept. Rear Admir-
al Caperton notified the navy depart
ment today that when he declared
martial law at Port au Prince and
vicinity he acted in pursuance of his
general orders to do whatever was
necessary to preserve peace. No un-
usual disorder was reported and navy
officials here regarded the admiraPs
action as a precautionary one against
threat of uprising against the Ameri-
can occupation.
Admiral Caperton'S proclamation
forwarded to the navy says informa-
ton has been received from most re-
liable sources that the present gov
ernment in Haiti is confronted with
a condition it is unable to control and
which will require measures different
than those heretofore applied.
The martial law" said the admir-
ais proclamation, will not be deemed
or taken to interfere with the pro-
ceedings of the constitutional govern
ment and congress of Haiti or with
the administration of justice in the
courts of law existing therein which
do not affect the military operations
of the authorities of the government
of the United States of America

Seven MexicanS Killed Today
Brings Total to IS.
SERIOUS INVASION IS FEARED
River Falls Rapidly; FOrdable
in Many Places.
u. s. AviatOrs PeriIed in Attack
at Brownsville.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 4.-The bor-
der situation is rapidly changing from
unorganized banditry to an affair be-
tween uniformed soldiers of the Unit
ed States and Mexico. Pitched bat
ties between troops of the two nations
occurred twice today at different
points along the Rio Grande. While
there were no casualties on the Amer
lean side, at least seven Mexican SOL
diers were killed.
Twelve Mexicans who crossed the
river at daylight this morning encou1-
tered a detachment of American SOL
diers near MADEIRA, in Hidalgo county.
Seven of the invaders we're killed and
the rest escaped. All wore Carran-
zista uniforms.
Rangers Return Fire.
At about the same time Mexican
soldiers fired across the river at a
company of rangers near the Cavazos
crossing. The Rangers returned the
fire and it is believed some of the Mex
leans were hit. Captain Mccoy hur-
ried from Mission with q troop of cav
airy to reinforce the Rangers, as IL
was believed the Mexicans, who were
in superior numbers, would attempt
to cross over.
Clashes with Mexicans were expected
to increase as the river is falling rap
idly and is fordable in many places
which have been impossible for sew
eral days.
Continue Search for Bandits.
Soldiers and armed citizens today
are continuing the search for Mexican
bandits operating north of Crowns
vile. No additional clashes in that
section have been reported.
The posses hcve found two bombs
left by the Mexicans. They were filed
with iron bolts md other solid ar
ticles.
Mexicans on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande early last
night fired nearly hundred
plane flying over Brownsville and then
turned their guns against a squad OF
American soldiers on guard at the
Brownsville electric light plant. When
the firing started the soldiers got be-
hind shelter and returned the fire.
There were no casualties.
Lieutenants Joseph c. Morrow and
B. Q. Jones were in the aeroplane.
This is the second time within two
days that an aeroplane has been fired
upon. The aviators knew nothing of
it until they landed
United States soldiers at Los Tui-
itos ranch. about twenty miles north
of here. during the past forty-eight
three Mexicans, strangers in the
neigh hborhood and supposed to be
members of raiding gangs.
The list of bandit dead stands at
thirteen. though probably more have
been killed but not reported.
Washington Is Apprehensivc.
Washington, Sept. 4-State depart
ment officials said today they had no
advices to substantiate current re-
ports that Mexican troops were con-
centrating along the border in north
east Mexico although the situation Is
viewed with increasing apprehension

DENY ALL
Negroes Say They Did Not Con-
feSs MOhr Murder.
Trio Seeks to EXOnerate Wild
Ow, Held i'm Killing.

Providence, Sept "A denial that
they had confessed to the murder OF
DR. c. Franklin Mohr was made to
the Associated Press today by George
w. Healis, Henry Spellman and G.
Victor Brown, the negroes who, ac-
cording to the police authorities, had
previously declared that they killed
the physician at the instigation OF
Mrs. Mohr.
Declare Widow Innocent.
Tell the people, Heals said.
that we are absolutely innocent and
that we believe Mrs. MOhr knew
nothing of the crime We have never
signed confession, and anything so
said to the Providence police was said
in a ioking way or in a spirit of an
ger.
Doctor Mohr, to my knowledge,
had been threatened by several
prominent Rhode Island people. L
found a letter in his car from man
living on Elmwood avenue. in which
he threatened the doctor and said
that if he did not cease his attentions
to his wife he would fill him full of
bullets"
HeaIis declared that the doctor s
automobile was followed on the night
of the shooting. 1t was his theory
that Doctor Mohr was shot by some
man who Jumped out OF a car, Ilred
at both the physician and Miss Bur-
ger and then reached the machine on
a cross road.
No Confession Made.
At this point Brown broke in and
said: 81 see that the Providence
police say that Healis saw Mrs. Mohr
in Providence on Monday evening
That's a joke. for Heals was in New
port all day Monday and Monday
night"
Brown told of his experiences at
the Providence police station.
s"Thev dragged me up and down
the room by the arm and kept shak-
ing me-" he said, while one of the
inspectors kept repeating, You know
Won did it l replied: We'll, if you
say so, 1 suppose it is so. You seem
to know everything never signed
anything"
Robbery the Motive.
Healis said:
The only thing l signed was a
statement to the Darlington police
that robbery might have been the
motive for the shooting"
Police Inspector w F. O'Neil,
when told of the negroes denials of
the alleged confessions, said:
'"They did make confession in the
presence of Mrs Mohr. Brown said
he shot Mohr, Spellman said he shot
Miss Burger and Heals signed a
statement that he stopped the car
near a bunch of grass, as directnd.'
Confronted with the statements of
the, negroes, repEdiating their alleged
Chief of Police Thomas
f. Robins. of harrington, said this
that none of the three men
had signed confession
The authorities today admitted their
case against Mrs. Mohr was weak.

day. with the loss of five lives.

Foreign Bodies Present Far

GERMAN AMERICANS IMPAIED
Editor Says Karl SchurZ Would
Be Grieved and Shocked.
Country Endangered by Very

GERMAN AMERICANS IMPALED

Stockbridge, Mass, Sept. 4.-Oswald
Garrison Willard, publisher of the
New York Evening Post. in an address
before the Laurel Hill association, here
today, declared that the movement
among American citizens of foreign,
especially German, decent, to form
bodies apart from the citizenship, pre-
sented a far-reaching domestic issue
which the American people must con-
quer.
NJ. Willard said the an important
factor in the continuance Of the
American melting pot lay in educat-
ing immigrants to the proper duties
of citizenship. He asserted that in
many instances naturalization exami-
nation had been a farce.
Mr.. Willard said he was born on
German soil of a German father"
No Divided Citizenship.
Foreigners becoming American citi-
zens should be made to understand,
Mr.. Willard said, that there can be no
divided citizenship or loyalty or al
legiance under the American flag; that
no one can accept political obligations
system, another entity or another code
of laws.
In opening his address Mr.. Willard
quoted from an address made by
Karl Schurz, sixteen years ago, in
which Mr.. Schurz said the no matter
how warm the affections German
Americans had held for their native
land, they had never permitted their
affections to interfere with their du-
ties as American citizens, nor to seduce
them to use their power in American
politics for foreign ends.
Schurz Would be Amazed.
''How amazed Karl Schurz would be
to return to us today to find that that
has come to pass which he deemed
inconceivable," said Mr.. Willard. NAT
urally Schurz would scan the horizon
for some discriminatory act on the
part of our government, or some
manifestation of racial prejudice
against German-Americans, but he
would find nothing of the sort. So far
as the federal government and states
are concerned he would discover moth
ing changed from the day he left u.s.

HOPE FOR ELECTORAL VOTE
And a Majority of the Congress
Delegation.
Governor and Legislature to Be
Secondary Matters.

Election of a state ticket and con-
troll of the state legislature will be
secondary matters in the political bat
leaders will center their interest on
national affairs and will make the
fight of their lives to return Kansas to
the Republican ranks by winning the
state electoral vote for president and
returning to the party fold at least
three-possibly four-of the six con-
gressionaI districts controlled by DEM
ocratS.
When the big smash came in 1912,
Kansas gave Wilson a plurality in the
presidential fight, elected five Demo-
cratic congressman, a Democratic gov
ernor and Democratic legislature.
Last year the Republicans regained
branch of the legislature, but lost an
other congressman. Now the Repub-
lcan leaders are anxious to convince
the east that Kansas is yet firm in the
faith. Their strongest argument will
be through the unSeating of few
Democratic congressman and support
of a Republican presidential candi-

In the Fifth Sixth and Seventh dis

The round was well played. consider

out in SO and they were even at the
turn Anderson came in in 81, one
stroke more than par and Gardner

The contest was almost featureless.
The men were averse to taking
chances and each generally required
two puts to complete a hole. Four
times Gardner seemed certain to tie
or forge ahead of his eastern rival but

Only on two occasions curing the
round did Anderson fall down on his
short game, after Gardner had made

Il sprinkle of rain fell and brought
good luck to Anderson. He equaled
par to win the twelfth and fourteenth

PEACE MUST WAIT
Wilson as Possible Mediator
BideS His Time.
President May Act Late in Fall
or Early Winter.
FRUIT SLOW In Pope APPEAL
Started to Wax
Strong as Time Passes.
May Develop Peg on Which Ac-
tiOn May Be Hung.
FRUIT SLOW In Pope APPEAL

Washington, Sept. 4.-Late fall or
early winter may see an American
move to restore peace in Europe.
This intimation was from a high of
ficial source today.
Pope Benedict's appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson to use mis- good offices
with European belligerents would not
bear fruit imm ediately, it was stated
but with the lull in fighting expected
upon winters approach. it was said
on good authority that the president
thinks the time may be ripe for def
mite action.
No Reply to Pope.
The chief executive will not reply
to the pope's peace plea, it was stated
authoritativeIy today, the explanation
being given that his hOliness's COM
municatiOn requires no answer or even
an acknowledgment, having been de-
Hvered in person by Cardinal Glib
bons, to whom the president gave the
necessary acknowledgment.
Unless the vatican or Cardinal Glib
bOns make public the papal com NUM-
cation, it was said, it will not be given
out here.
Good in Agitation.
Despite pessimistic expressions from
London, it was the official view here
that, a general peace discussion hav-
ing been started, there is good reason
to believe the agitation will continue,
until something tangible is developed
upon which President Wilson can
found another overture to the fighting
countries
Some international experts thought
there was a fair chance that Americas S
negotiations with the British con-
cerning the order in council
would lead TO en- opportunity for a
fresh offer of mediation
