EFFORTS FOR PEACE
Pope Thinks United States Could In"
duce Belligerents to Take Pre-
liminary Steps.

Rome, Sept. 4-Pope Benedict yes
terday expressed pleasure. over the
fact that the diplomatic negotiations
between the United States and Gel
MANY had resulted in a promise from
Germany to modify her submarine
warfare.
The pontiff said that President Will
son. having shown both groups OF
belligerents the fairness; firmness ana
goo will of the American government
could now address them with author
ity and probably inuuce them TO take
the preliminary steps which would
gradually lead to negotiations fo'
peace. !.
The pontiff was gratifed to learn
of the cordiality that marked the con-
versation between President Wilson
and Cardinal Gibbons on Thursday
when the cardinal delivered to. the
President in Washington a messag:
from Benedict XV. dealing with peace
The Pope said that he hopet
everybody, both in Europe and th'
United States: would he convinced
that his constant prayer is for ths
ending of the war and that his wors
in this direction is entirely disinter
ested, being inspired only by. the teacl
ings of Christ and his love of human
ity.
He added that he would be read
to give the whole support of the Cath
olic Church to the person. institution
or country that undertook the nohl
mission of ending the war.

Charles Manning Mohr. son of the

the funeral, and said:
at is untrue that my fathers prac-

them in Newport paid him very large

The funeral of DR.. Mohr, which
was held yesterday was arranged in
all its details by his widow, who, fol-
lowing her arrest, was released on
bail. She halted her duties at her
home to receive Il newspaper man and
indicated ii purpose to break the sill

she also admitted that she had talk

Situation at Brownsville Crows Tense
When il is Learned Another Ameri.

Brownsville. Tex, Sept. 4-Caval-
ily detachmentS today are stationed
at every bridge and crossing and at
every power and irrigation plant in
this section, following reports that
additional bands Of Mexican raiders
ere forming. and will soon cross the
border to attempt revenge for the
killing of General Orozco early this
week By Texas Rangers.
Officers in charge Of these detach-
ments reported today that a squad of
cavalry from the Twelfth Regiment
enga ged four MeXicans three or four
miles north OF here last night as
they were on their way to- their
designated station.
One of the bandits was killed The
regulars suffered no casualties.
1t is believed today that if 4 con-
ccrted dash by Orazco's avengers is
made, ii would bo over the old Alice
stage coach road into San Benito.
For this reason the guard at that
place. under Capt. II. (. Hawkins.
Third Cavalry. was increased to 200
men.
The situation here grew more tense
today when it WAS learned that an
ether American had been killed at
F.oinal where twenty Mexican raiders
attempted to storm ranch.
The troops ordered TO the border
from Galveston yesterday began
reaching thcir respective dcstina-

PROPOSED NEW ROAD
Route From Norfolk to Washington
Will Not Cross Potomac into
Maryland

! Norfolk, Va, Sept. 4-Runlors al
fecting the projected Norfolk, Wash
ington and New York railroad have
, been circulated in Norfolk within
the past few days with such persls-
tency that announcements Of dehnite
character are looked for at an early
date tending to clear up number OF
points in doubt about the status o.
! the enterprise, its finally determined
route and the tentative time when
active operations will follow ac-
auirement Of the last rights of way.
The rail line will terminate at New
lort News, according to the present
plan ,and theNorfolk terminus Will
be reached by ferry service similar
to that employed by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad.
Probably the greatest interest IN
the new lumors centers III the re-
ported change of route that will ell
inmate the Maryland invasion en-
tirely and when King George county
is reached will provide for a west
ern diversion of the line 20 point
in Stafford county near the Rich
mond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad. This would mean entrance
into Washington over the same bridge
now used by the community OF rail-
road interests reaching the national
capital. The plan would eliminate the
S1OOO,O0O railroad bridge across the
Potomac river to the neck Of Charles
county, Md, and would enable the
new line to make the same time tc
Washington that the original route
would make possible through Mary
land past Indian Head to Shephard's
Wharf opposite Alexandria. and then
along the Eastern Branch of the 70
romac into the capital over a Mary
land branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio.
Incidentally the rumor is revived
again that when the new line is COM
pleted it will become Baltimore and
Ohio property and will enable that
system to complete with the Pennsyl-
yar1ia to Tidewater Virginia.
Colonel r. q. Hobart, the pfOml-
nent railroad engineer. is co-operat-
ing with Claiming NJ. Ward in the
engineering part of the projected
road and it is said that he looks Tor
carly financing of the undertaking as
soon as the preliminaries are com
nleted with the farmers whose land:
the route will traverse. 1t Is re-
rorted that Colonel Hobart had ar
ranged to float every dollar required
for the roads construction in Lon
don in July of 1914 and would have
consummated his negotiations but Tor
the declaration of war the following
month.
