Dsny Rur,er About Capital.

A statement was Issued by the Car
rama agency here last night said to
be based on advices from Vera Cruz.
saying foreigners were not in danger in
Mexico City or that General Obregon
was stirring up anti-foreign sentiment.
The statement said:
The food situation has greatly Inn
proved and there is no fear Of famine.
The water supply has been unsatisfac-
tory on account OF the guerrilla activi-
ties Of the Zapatistas. There is no
danger Of rioting by nobs when obre-
gon will move north against the
Viuistas, as he will in all Likelihood
leave garrison in Mexico City.
"The arrest Of several capitalists in
Mexico City by General Obregon for
refusing to contribute to the assist
ance of the poor was caused by the
confession Of q number of small mer-
chants that their refusal to contribute
had been occasioned by the advice Of
the arrested merchants, altho they
themselves were willing to make con-
tributions.''
Another phase of~.he Mexican situa-
ton, aside from the acute conditions
at Mexico City, which is engaging the
serious attention of the state depart
ment is the state Of affairs in Yncatan.

THAW ON TRIAL
FOR CONSPIRACY

Case Of Slayer Of Stanford White and
Five Others, Alleged to Have Assisted
in Conspiracy to Escape From Mat
teawan, 10 Begun.
New York, March S.-Harry K Thaw.
slayer of Stanford White, smilingly
came into the criminal court here to-
day to stand trial on a charge Of con-
spiracy in escaping from Matteawan.
Five men charged with assisting in the
conspiracy were placed on trial with
him.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the defend
ants mother, accompanied by Mrs.
George Carnegie. Thaw's sister, ap-
peared in court today. Thaw appeared
to be In excellent health. When the
names of Thaw's co-defendants were
called none Of them answered. Deputy
sheriffs were sent into the corridors Of
the court house and finally came back
with the defendants-Roger Thompson.
Eugene Duffy. Thomas Flood. Richard
J. Butler and Michael O'Keefe.
Five of the twelve Jurors were g.
lected within three hours. When court
recessed for luncheon the indications
were that the jury box might be filed
by night The state indicated that 1t
would seek Thaw5s conviction for con-
spiracy on the ground that altho an In
sane man, Thaw had unimpaired ca
pacity to conspire: the defense asked
question Of talismen which were con-
strued as meaning that they would
seek to show that Thaw was sane at
the time he escaped from Matteawan
or would rely on the prosecution to
prove this for them.
Frank r. Bailey, the second talisman
examined, was accepted by both sides,
and became foreman OF the jury. Two
other jurors were than accepted in a
few minutes Frederick Enmerich, a
contractor, was asked by Thaw's coun-
sell:
IT wep rove to you that Thaw was
sane, would that prejudice you In de-
terming this case? 2"
The district attorneys objection to
this question on the ground that
whether Thaw was or was not insane.
made no difference In Thaw's guilt
was overruled.
Christopher Shultz, an elderly pro-
duce merchant, was selected as the
fifth juror.

Reports Fire Under Control.
The statement given out at the Of
fees Of the steamship company here
said:
"The fire which brouke out aboard
La Touraine was less serious than
at first thought. The fire Is under con-
troll and all passengers are SAFE
La Touraine has resumed her voy-
age to Havre under her own steam.
but. nevertheless, for further security,
she is being escorted by the Rotter-
dam. and probably will arrive at
Havre Monday evening"
According to officials of the company
they have not been informed what
caused the fire. It was feared for a
time that It might be necessary to
transfer the passengers to another ship
to avoid danger. but this plan was
abandoned when It was seen the blaze
was being mastered. Captain Chussin
and DR., Marie, the ships surgeon, were
able to allay any panic among the pas
sengers, the company officials be-
lieve.
Grave fears for the safety Of La
Touraine were felt in this city until
the positive announcement was made
that sf1e was ia 10 danger. SSevera.
newspapers suggested that the fire
might have been started by spies who
had concealed themselves on board.
