VERA CRUZ, March 12.-It was
announced today in official ciI'cles
that President Wilson's aSEnOwledg-
ment OF General Carranza's reply to
the note from Washington relative to
conditions in Mexico City has pleased

ers, who regarded the reply as con-
ciliatory.
Chas A. Douglas, counsel for Cen
eral CarranZa, who left today for
Washington, said he regarded the cri-
sis as having passed.
1t is asserted that President Wilson
assured General Clrranza that the
original American note was not in
tended to be offensive but as mes
sage of friendliness.

for Instructions.
MAY RETURN HARRY
State Has Made Plans to
Rush Defendant Back
to Matteawan Asylum.

NEW YORK, March 12-After hav-
ing delberatcd for more than four
hours the Jury in the case of Harry
Kendall Thaw and four codefend-
ants. on trial charged with consptr-
acy had failed late tonight to reach
verdict.
At ll:2O o'clock the jury was or
dered locked up for the night and a
recess of court was declared until ten
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Previously in the hope that YER
dict might be found, the presiding
justice and attorneys for both sides
had remained in the court building.
Thaw himself had awaited word from
tho jury room I'm the sheritfs office
directly above the court room.
The jurors, it was made apparent
by questions asked when its foreman
came in for Instructions, seemed TO
be divided upon the question rs To
what Thaw's legal status was at the
time of his escape and what part his
belief that he had a right to flee
should play in the determination Of
verdict.
The case went to the jury late this
afternoon after a day spent in COM
pleting the cross examination of Thaw
and the delivery Of closing addresses
to the jury by attorneys for all the
Interests concerned. In his charge to
the jury the presiding justice said
that ;he question of Thaw's sanity
should enter into the case only inso-
far as he night be sh, wn to have
been in a capacity to enter into a
criminal act and intended to do so.
John B. Stanchfield objected and
took exception to thot part of the
charge in which Justice Page said
that sanity was not al issue
Two attendants from the Mattea-
wan hospital were in court this after
noon 1t was said in the courtroom
that no matter what the verdict Of
the jury Thaw would he rushed to
Matteawan in an automobile by these
two attendants Immediately after
some decision had been reached or a
isagreement reported
Thaws attorneys stated, however,
that a writ of habeas corpus was
awaiting the signature Of supreme
court justice. They said they planned
to have the writ signed Immediately
upon the return of the jury with a
verdict or disagreement
The writ, it was said, would serve
to keep Thaw within the jurisdiction
of the courts of this county.
