Washington. April 9.-General Car ranZa has finally notified the United States government through Consul Silliman, that he cannot agree to the naturalization of either Mexico City or the railroad from the capital to Vera Cruz. To both of these suggestions made by the state department, the Vil- la-Zapata authorities had given their consent.
 General Carranza refused to exclude Mexico City from the field operations on the ground that 1t is an objective point in his military campaign. Mil itary reasons also are given for the refusal to neutralize the railroads be- tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City.
 Officials here, while disappointed over the failure of the negotiations which had for their object the furnish ing of a means of ingress and egress for foreigners are hopeful that the railroads between Mexico City and the American border will soon be repaired and accomplish the same purpose. At present this line is interrupted by the operations of the Carranza forces un- der General Obregon in the vicinity of lrapuato.

Swift Destroyer Ordered

GERMAN STEAMER
MAY BE FORFEITED
Libel Proceedings Directed To
Be Instituted Against Her
in Porto Rico.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. March 23 Steps were
promptly taken to-day 20 compel the
German steamer Odenwald to pay the
penalty imposed by the recently en-
acted neutrality law for attempting tc
leave the harbor Of San Juan, Porto
Rico, without clearance papers.
Attorney General Gregory directed
the United States Attorney for Porto
Rico to institute libel proceedings
against the Odenwald at once. These
will probably result in placing the yes
sci in the custody Of the United States
Marshal.
As further pre- aution against vlo'
lations of the neutrality laws, Sccre-
tary Daniels, at the request Of the
Treasury Department, ordered Admiral
Fletcher. commanding the Atlantic
feet now in Cuban waters, 10 detach
one of his swiftest and most powerful
destroyers and send it TO San Juan
The coast guard cutter Algonquin
which has been cruising in West Ind
ian waters, is already on her way 10

strengthening the neutrality squadron

guard cutter Mohawk Captain Ber
tho.f. cOmmandant of the Coast Guard
has gone TO New York, at the direc-
tor of Assistant Secretary Newton OF
the Treasury Department. to confer
with Collector Malone regarding the
situation there.
The general feeling Of uneasiness
among government officials over the
possibility Of attempts 20 violate the
neutrality laws, which might result
in serious international entang ementS
was intensified to-day by reports from
various quarters of suspicious activity
on the part of belligerent vessels IN
American ports.
Undue activity on board the German
vessel President, which took refuge IN
the port Of San Juan, Porto Rico, about
the same time the Odenwald arrived
there, was reported to the Treasury De
partment to-day. This strengthened the
suspicion that the two vessels had re-
ceived communc cations directing them
TO take to the open sea probably 70
aid German cruiser or other wal
vessel.
The attention Of the Treasury De
partment officials was directed also TO
the Hamburg American liner SaXonia
now at Winslow, Wash. with cargo
of grain taken aboard at Portland FOR
Hamburg before the outbreak Of the
war Precautions were taken not to
permit the vessel to depart without IN

Each Found Dead i'm Bath
After Wedding, Says
Scotland Yard.
ACCUSED HUSBAND
CALLED THE CORONER
Use False Names for Marriages
and Had Wives Will
Property to Him.

London. March 23.-Charged with
Joseph Smith in the Bow Street Court
to-day heard Public Prosecutor Bod
kin declare that he had made away
with three Of his wives, the crime in
each case being committed shortly after
he had married them. Each of these
women was found dead in her bath;
consequently the case has come to be
known as the brides in baths" case.
Smith has described himself as a
man OF independent means. According
70 the evidence of Scotland Yard, which
has been inquiring into the deaths of
these women, Smith made use of vari-
Gus fictitious names in his mat imonial
ventures. The women he married were
found dead few days after the cerc-
mony. Vcrdicts of accident death
had been returned. but now certain
of the bodies have been exhumed. with
the result that the charges Of murder
have been preferred.
The Public Prosecutor gave the names
Of the three women and the dates Of
the alleged murders as Beatrice Mum
dy. July. 1912; Alice Burnham, Deccm-
Der, 1913, and Margaret Lofty, De-
ccmber. 1914.
Smith, according to the police, was
born IN London, the son OF an nsur-
ance agent, and is forty-iive years old.
Smith was married. as brough out in
the preliminary hearing, under the
name OF John Lloyd to Margar-t Eliza
beth Lofty az a registry Office at Bath
in December, 1914. The couple came
10 London the same day. and the next
morning the bride was found dead in
her bath, her husband calling in a
doctor, who reported the matter. as a
result Of which an inquest was held.
The jury brought in verdict of ac
cidental death.
In February information reached the
police that Lloyd was not the hus-
bands name. and he was arrested and
identified. the police say. as George
Joseph Smith, who in November, 1913,
had married at Portsmouth Miss Alice
Burnham, who month later also hld
been found dead in her bath. In this
case. too. a corOner's jury brought in
verdict of accidental death.
The police also have had the boay Of
another woman eXhumed. This wcman.
who also died in her bath shortly after
he marriage at Herne Bay, was mar
ried to man who gave the ma q of
Henry Williams and who is be.'evel by
the police to be George Joseph Smith.
Prosecutor Bodkin said the accused
man had been married i've les in
all. His first wife was Caroline Bea-
trice Thornhill, whom he married in
1898, and who now is on her way to
London from Canada.
The prisoner will now be charged
W 1 the murder Of three of these five
women" Mr.. BodkIn continued. The
case is remarkable for the greed for
wealth which was the dominant motive
in the taking Of these three lives. We
sh III show that at the death of two Of
them G2,S00 was obtained and that the
prisoner when arrested was il fair
way 10 obtain 800 more"

tor Benzel, in the Boulevard AragO.

extraordinary find OF no fewer than
irty-eight busts Of the Kaiser.
Herr BenzeI is the sculptor who two
