WIFE OF JOHN D.
Rockefeller is DEAD

New York, March 13.-Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller is dead at the Rockefeller
country home at Pocantico Hills, just
outside Of Tarrytown. While Mrs.
Rockefeller has been an invalid for
many months her death came rather
Unexpectedly. She was seventy-siX
years of age.
Her husband, John d. Rockefeller,
and her son were at Ormond, Fla,
and were advised that Mrs. Rockefel-
Ter had taken a critical turn for the
worse.
Mr.. Rockefeller and his son imme.
diately engaged a special train and
started north. Mrs. E. Parmalee Prem
tice, Mrs. Rockefeller's daughter, was
the only immediate relative present
when she died.
The woman who shared Mr.. Rookie
feller's fortune building and money
giving was a schoolteacher. She was
Laura Spelman-a schoolmate in
Cleveland-who fell in love with the
Woodworking young mar long before
he was recognized as an heir presump-
tive to the throne of fortune.

THAW ACQUITTED OF
CONSPIRACY CHARGE

New York, March Hilary K.
Thaw, brought back from New
Hampshire under a ruling of the SUI
preme court Of the United States to
face a trial on an Indictment for con-
spiracy to Interfere with the ends OF
justice, was acquitted by a jury which
had had the case under consideration
for eighteen hours.
Roger Thompson, Richard j. Butler,
Eugene Duffy and Thomas Flood, the
four men who assisted him in his
spectacular flight by automobile from
Matteawan to Canada, also were &C
quilted.
Immediately after his acquittal his
counsel moved for his return to New
Hampshire, the state from which he
was eXtradited, on the ground that
the conspiracy charge on which he
was brought back having failed it is
obligatory on the part OF the state of
New York to return him to New
Hampshire.
Justice Page, before whom the case
was heard, will hear argument later
on this point and in the meantime
Thaw was Temanded to the Tombs.

BUILDING PLANS HELD UP
New Measures for Bond Issue Not Eff
fective Until Next July.

The ley constitutional amendment
providing for the application of the
initiative and referendum and making
a new system of attaching emergency
clauses to state legislation has played
havoc with the plans OF the Fargo
board of education in the construction
of a new school.
Early in the session a bill was rush
ed through both branches of the leg
islature permitting an increased bond
issue in Fargo. The board let the con-
tract for the building and arrange
ments were being made to push the
work, when the announcement was
made that the eas would not be
effective before July because the
emergency clause was not passed I'M
der the new provisions of the initia-
tive and referendum.
This ties up the school project SO
that the building cannot possibly be
completed in time for the opening OF
the fall term unless the contractor
takes chances Of getting his money on
the personal guarantee of the mem.
bers of the board. There are other
enactments applying to Fargo that
are held up in the same manner

FARGO BANK DEPOSITS GROW
Now Have Per Capita of More Than
$500 for Each Resident.

Deposits in Fargo banks are between
$500 and 5000 for every man, woman
and child. The figures are remark
able when it is considered that the
per capita circulation of the United
States is but $37.15. '
Recent statements show the depos-
it's of the different banks aggregate
practically 1000, 900. This is a gain
of more than S1,500,000 in the last
two months and the total is more than
$1,250,000 in excess of the largest de.
posts ever before shown by the state
ments of the local financial institu-
tons.
The increasing strength of the local
banks and the corresponding growth
of confidence or the part of deposit
tors, l%iquidations among farmers and
merchants, especially the payment OF
mortgages and interests, are the chief
factors in the increase.

STRONG NOTE WAS ON WAY
Dispatch to First Chief From Presi.
dent Wilson Threatened to Use
Force if Necessary.

Washington, March 16.-General
CarranZa has abandoned his blockade
of the port of Progreso on urgent rep
reservations by the United States. The
Mexican gunboat Zaragosa has been
called Off and two American ships
laden with sisal for the United States
were cleared without interference.
Rear Admiral Caperton, commands
ing the American fleet in Mexican
waters, reported the raising of the
blockade and reported that the lara
gosa has returned to Vera Cruz.
The admiral's dispatch crossed a
new note from the United States to
Carranza giving notice that the Unit
ed States was determined to raise the
blockade and if necessary use the
cruiser Des Moines to do so.
1t became known for the first time
that last week the Mexican gunboat
had stopped n American ship with a
shot across the bows, had held up an
other and had interfered with British
shipping.
The seriousness OF the situation
growing out of the blockade of Pro
greso was pointed out by Secretary
Houston Of the department Of agri-
culture, who, advised the president
that 200, 000, 600 pounds OF twine are
used each year in the United States
in binding grain, flax and corn crops
and that nine-tenths OF the supply is
made from sisal grown IN Yucatan
and exported through P~rogreso.
