WOMAN SOUGHT AS
MURDER INFORMER
Letter Telling Of Howard
Death by Poison Written in
Feminine Hand.
MYSTERY AROUSES TOWN

SAyvnlR. L. l.. June 12-The investi-
cation into the death last Monday OF
william Garrett Howard at his home
In Sag Harbor has set the native p
lation of Suffolk county In a turmoil.
There are many who say they believe
Howard was murdered by means OF a
slow poison, mysterlously administered.
and there are others who go so far as
to name the person they believe ad.
ministered the poison. But no one has
produced any evidence so far as could
be learned yesterday.
District Attorney Ralph c. Greene
Is awaiting the report OF a physician.
who Is Analysing the stomach and l.
testines Of Mr.. Howard. He was forced
to have this analysis made because Of
the gossip which filled Sag Harbor. and
because DIR. NJ. Il. Lewis. who attended
Mr.. Howard. received an anonymous
letter containing fiat charges OF muir
der.
Long before the receipt OF this letter
in fact long before last October, when
Mr.. Howard first complained of feeling
ill-there had been gossip OF definite
form. So when the letter came DR..
Lewis did the only thing possible-he
turned 1t over to District Attorney
Greene.
Mr.. Greehs had also heard gossip.
which the letter crystailized. 81 to
protect himself and his office and TO
find II there was any truth in the
letter he engaged n women detective
nurse. who. under the name of Miss
Matte Clark. was installed three weeks
ago In Towards home. occupied by
himself, his wife and his daughter, Mrs.
Florence Valentine Holtz. twice a widow.
Towards trouble seemed to be intes-
final. He was 81 years old. tail. weighed
$50 pounds and was seldom III until last
October. since when he had been con-
tinuously undergoing treatment.
He died when sitting In n chair on
the porch OF his home. The detective
nurse made Ter report 10 Mr.. Greene.
There are many incidents she narrates,
which, IL Il develops that Howard was
poisoned. might be connected Into a
string Of suspicious circumstances, bu,
which are easily e~xplainable II 1t is
learned that he died a natural death.
She did not. however. see anything which
would permit the immediate Judgment
II a charge OF murder.
District Attorney Greene IS frank to
admit that he has no evidence NJ this
time. but feels that the gossip should be
proved or disproved. lie is searching for
the writer OF the anonymous letter, who
Is believed to be a woman, because Of
the handwriting.
Absolutely no motive for a murder
has been discovered. or is suspected, by
the District Attorney. Towards estate
will he nothing when his debts are pa Id,
according to his brother. and there IS no
suggestion that revenge was sought.
Theodore Howard, chief of police OF
Greenport, the dead mans brother, and
Garrett Howard. his father. are advo-
Gates OF the murder theory.
Mrs. Holtz. the daughter, is a young
widow. Her frst husband. James Il.
Nelson. died in March, 1905. and the
second, william F. Holtz, in February.
1911.

Only One Left, but He Marches

Parade.

PRINCETON. N. j., June 12.-Princeton
graduates all the way from those Of
1880 to the men who will receive their
diplomas next Tuesday, held celebrations
on the campus and marched in the an
nual alumni parade to the University
Field, where a young a by the name
Of Pie Way. assisted by eight others
from New Haven. put a temporary dam
per on the festivities.
The procession lacked a little In the
gorgeousnees which usually characterizes
this celebration. but what II lacked In
this way II made up In size and the en-
thus!asm OF the old grads The mem
bers OF the graduating class seemed to
be the oldest persons in the parade.
James II. Hughes. who entered Prince
ton In the fall OF 1876, was the oldest
grad" here to-day. IL was an unusual
thing for n graduate OF sixty-nve years
standing to be here for the doings. and
- h was made over him. He marched
along with the youngest. His home Is
tt i,clleiUnte, Pa.
The class OF go had the highest per-
ctntage OF graduates back. with seven
teen out OF n possible twenty-four. The
class of '65 celebrated its fiftieth year
with eighteen out Of twenty-eight liv-
ing members here. over thirty MEM
bers OF the class Of 20 were here,
among them being william 8. Gummere,
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court OF
New Jersey Hugh q. Kyle. Chancellor
OF Tennessee, and Charles Il. Alexander
OF New York.
The class OF '95 had $50 members in
Inc. This class received word from
Johnny Poe. n famous Tiger gridiron
star. who is now with the British army
at Ypres. that he was '~unavoidably de-
tanned"
There has been n growing tendency
among the c,nsses in recent years to get
some distinctive costume which can be
used from year to year, and so the fancy
!.sal!aS were not as many as usual.
Members OF the class OF 1910 wore Ser
bian dress OF white and green. The one
year grads as usual were sailor boys,
while the near alumni wore white
trousers and blue coats and carried
japanese parasols.
While the grads" are reuuioning
others are seeing the last performance Of
the Triangle Club Offering for ,hi.
year. "Fie. F.c Fi-fI."

ANOTHER NOTE Is
 BY.
 J. s. ID MEXICO.
Prompt Reply to Carranza's Reply Is Made by Wash ington. Further Represent ations Are Made in Note.

WASHINGTON. Mar Another note was sent by the United States to Carranza in reply to his response last night. to notify him that he and Obregon would be held personally re- sponsible for the safety of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico City. It is understood 10 have emphasized the importance of keeping railway communication between the coapital and Vera Cruz open
 Carranza's denial thato Obergon iu- tended 10 ncite the population of Mexico City to riot or prevent the en- tranceo Of food supplies, followed in second note By request if this is true, torains will be furnished to carry freight into the city No word was received of any change in the situation in Mexico City lt is also reported without confirmation, that a Swedish subject was kioned.
 The second communication was dispatched so quickly after the re- ceipt of Carranza's 's reply that the im- pression prevailed in diplomatic quar- ters. thato the United States was de- termined in advance to make repre- sentations for the unrestricted pass age of Americans and other foreign CTS from Mexico City to Vera Cruz. 1t is also believed Carranza's atten- tion was called to reports early of the evacuation of Mexico City. The request again was made for arrange ments to police the city before the
 forcds of Dbregon withdraw. Om
 the whole officials thought the Car. ranza note relieved the critical sit. uation but warships, ordered 10 Vera Cruz. were not recalled on the
 strength of the favorable develop. ments. The opinion prevails they will be kept there indefinitely pos sibly to take away such Americans and foreigners as have no other
 means of making their departure.
 The statement Of the Villa agency here says "In the absence of off ] cial information. the Washington
 agency of the convention government
 of Mexico is inclined to believe the reported evacuation of Mexico City by Obregon and its occupation by Za pata premature. A message, datet l yesterday, was received from Gener al Angeles at Monterey indicating he had occupied the city despite re ports of it's capture by Carranzistas.
