FORMER MlDDLETOWN BANKER
FOUND IN CONNECTICUT RIVER
E. n. Burr Had Met With Financial
Reverses-Probably Committed Sui
eide,

Middletown, Conn, May 2S-The
body of Eugene H. Burr, former presi-
dent of the Columbia Trust company
and at one time well known in finan-
cial circles about the state, was found
floating in the Connecticut river. A
preliminary investigation by the au-
thorities leads them to believe that he
ended his own life. The body lay at
a morgue for some hours before it was
recognized.
Mr.. Burr retired from the presidency
of the Columbia Trust company a num-
Der of years ago when the institution
became involved in financial difficult
ties Since that time he had conducted
a real estate and investment business
here. 1t is reported that he had met
with financial reverses lately and today
proceedings to foreclose the mortgage
on his residence were begun.
Mr. Burr was about so years old
and is survived by his widow and a
daughter He was a director of the
state hospital for the insane or Nor

Burke to Get Immunity.
Although indicted jointly. the court
granted separate trials for the men.
Burke became a witness for the gov
ernment at Salas' trial, and, it is said,
eral George w. GoethaIs. governor of
the cana! zone. was a witness at the
trial
hour after Judge Hunt had delivered
his charge. Earlier in the day the
defence introduced further testimony
intended to prove that the government
was not defrauded when John Burke
accepted $4,000 commission in pur-
chasing supplies from Salas and aft
er calling several character witnesses
for Salas, rested it's case.
Judge &1unt in his charge declared
that the Panama railroad was an in
Strument of the government and that
in view of the letter of Secretary Taft
written to Vice President Drake of the
road, on June 10, 1908, there could be
no doubt that the commissary depart
ment OF which Burke was manager,
was to be operated under the authority
of the government and that, in conse-
quence, a conspiracy to defraud the
road was conspiracy to defraud the
United States.

Washington, May 28.-The American
Red Cross issued the following state
ment tonight:
The conditions in Mexico are ap-
palling. Great numbers of unfortunate
people are victims of the long -contin-
ued fighting. They have been facing
starvation for months and now they
have reached an acute stage, when only
food supplies can save them from
death.

SUI General Hanna at Monterey, Mex

Red Cross Needs Funds.
Already the American Red Cross
has carload of corn and one of beans

Here we have in our western hem

BERLIN UNINFoRMED
ABOUT NEBRASKAN
But Fact That GulfIight Was Torpe-
doed by German Submarine is Es-
tabIished.

Berlin, via London, May %, 1140 ..
m.-The foreign office and the admir-
atty are still without news concerning
the reported torpedoing of the Amer
lean steamship Nebraskan and depre-
cate all discussion of possible effect on
German American negotiations pend
ing an authoritative confirmation of an
attack on the ship. German news
papers have printed nothing about the
Nebraskan incident since the first Rot
terdam despatch reporting that the
ship had been torpedoed and that she
was still af1oat with the crew safe in
her lifeboats.
The torpedoing of the steamship
Gulfight is now established as due to
a Germa nsubmarine, the report of the
commander fthe submarine in ues-
ton having been received by the ad-
miralty. The commander stated that
when he first saw the Gulfight she
was being conveyed by two patrol
boats and he concluded that she must
be a British vessel or was carrying
contraband. The presence of the pa
troll boats, the commander reported
made closer investigation dangerous.

WARRING FACTIONS
ARE TO BE WARNED
BY President Wilson That They Must
Compose the Situation Soon.

Washington. May 2S.-President
Wilson has decided to serve notice on
all the warning factions in Mexico that
conditions in that country have be-
come intolerable and that unless they
compose the situation soon, some other
means may have to be employed to
accomplish the result.
The first intimation of the presi-
dents determination to take this step
came today in his appeal issued as
head of the American Red Cross, set
ting forth that due to several years
of internal disturbances, the unfortu-
nate people of many parts of Mexico
have been reduced to the verge of
starvation and urging contributions
to relief funds
Later the White House gave ont the
following:
Statement from the White House,
When the presidents appeal for aid
for the MeXicans was issued it was
also stated at the executive offices that
statement from the president on
the present situation in Mexico might
be expected within the next few days.
This statement has been prepared
and will be issued after the cabineet
meeting next Tuesday and then COM
municated to the leaders of all the
Mexican factions
No Recognition for Amy Faction.
Officials at the White House and
state department declined to say what
the presidents statement contained.
but denied that recognition of any fac
ton was now contemplated 1t was
stated authoritatively that while
friends of Carranza here had been
pressing for recognition the Wash
ington government had not been i'm
pressed with the ability of any of the
contending chiefs to restore order The
present action. it was said, was not
intended to assist one faction at the
expense of another, but to demand in
effect, that the Mexicans arrive at
an early settlement Of their troubles
or at least provide for the sustenance
of the starving population.
Intervention Hinted At.
High officials referred to the presi-
dents forthcoming pronouncement as
not meaning Immediate intervention
and they emphasized the word 1'imme-
dfate." The impression in executive
quarters was that one purpose would
be to place responsibility for the pres
ent state of affairs squarely upon the
military elements in the southern re-
public, which have overrun the coun-
try and appropriated its food supply
or prevented the tilling of the soil.

of allowing the MeXicans to settle their
differences without outside interfer-
