 serting that the criticisms made on num-
 erous previous inspections still obtain" in

 adequate for the county, and ordering the removal of the doors from the dun geons in the basement of the prison, Dr.. William H. Oates, state prison inspector, today submitted to Governor Henderson report of his recent inspection of the jail.

 The police were immediately notified, Officer Crump responding to the call. The thieves were traced to the corner of Fifth alley by trail of broken eggs that had evidently been dropped in mak- ing a nasty getaway, but after that all trace was lost.

]. s. BREWER DEAD:
 WAS ILL ONE WEEK
Assistant BOokkeeper at the Press Club Reported to
 Have Taken BichlOride

John $. Brewer, assistant bookkeepar last night at o'clock at his late resi- dence, 1715 Fifth avenue, after an ill., ness lasting a week. The cause of his death had not been definitely determined last night
 At the Johns Undertaking company, where the body is being held pending funeral arrangements by relatives, it was stated that MT. Brewer died as a result of taking five 21s-grain tablets of bi- chloride of mercury. The tablets, accord ing to attendants there. were taken one week ago yesterday but whether with suicidal intent was not known
 The attendant physician was reluctant to discuss the case. Upon condition that his name be withheld. he made the fol- lowing statement:
 The boy seemed very anxious to live and did not want reports that he had committed suicide to become current. He at first told me that he had taken some thing and then later said that if he had taken anything it was accidental. I was called in after another doctor had been altenul1lB DlH1 anu flln system Hdu tldu time to absorb any poison In his stom- ach. I do not think that there is any Goubt but that he took the poison, wheth- eI accidentally or not I cannot say. It would require an autopsy to definitely establish the cause of his death.'
 No motive for suicide could be found last night. MT. Brewer had been com blaming of ill health for sometime, ac- cording to Secretary Dameron of the club and had been urged to rest for week, but declined owing to the rush of Fash ion Week. He became ill one week ago and had not been working since that time. MT. Dameron had heard the re- port that he had committed suicide but declined to discuss it, contenting himself with saying that he knew of no possible motive other than ill health.
 Mr. Brewer was widely known in Bir- mingham owing to his connection with the press club, and had many friends here who will be shocked to learn of his death. He had a very pleasing personality ana was popular with club members. He was 23 years of age.
 Funeral arrangements had not been made last night.

Furthermore, it is added, Great Britain now is invited by the United States to forego clear belligerent right, on the understanding that Germany will ab- stain from committing two--but only two-of many crimes against both law and humanity.
 Authoritative British spokesmen lay stress on the "inadequacy" of this pro- posal from two standpoints. They ask, first, what guarantee is forthcoming that Germany will keep to her agree ment. Supposing, they urge, that an un n- derstanding were reached on the lines suggested by the United States, would the United States secure it's strict ob. servance?

which the Frye was found in the south Atlantic by the Prinz Eitel
 Many arguments have been urged from time to time against the destruction of neutral vessels and when in doubt Amer ican naval commanders have been eau toned always to dismiss the vessel Be- fore destruction in any case the crew, passengers and papers must be taken from the neutral vessel on board the belligerent ship.
 These are then immediately subject,'' says one of the authorized publications of the United States naval war college,
 ito all the dangers of war to which a war vessel of belligerent is subject. Such d position may be an undue hard ship for those who have not been engaged in the war and one to which they should not be exposed"
 Subjected to Risks
 It was said in official quarters that the American government took note of
 the fact that American citizens by their enforced presence on board German cruiser for more than a month had been subjected to unnecessary risks, which might have involved serious dangers to
 them, and that this probably would be
 one of the points in the correspondence
 which is certain to develop between the United States and Germany over the in cident.
 That the Frye was carrying wheat and
 no other kind of cargo has been estab- lished in official reports The German commander claims that as the wheat was consigned ito order" and bound for Eng land, it therefore could be presumed to be contraband.
 The fact that the cargo was sold while in transit to British firm would not in the opinion of officials, alter the neces- sity in case of capture for bringing the cargo into port for adjudication, espe. cially since Germany has recently ex. pressed it's views on the subject of food stuffs and conditional contraband aboard neutral vessels.
 The United States government has re- peatedly maintained that the destruction of neutral vessel i'll maritime war il not justified alone by the presence o oontraband aboard, although the charac ter of the cargo, that is, if confessedly contraband. such as arms and ammuni ton. would be a controlling factor il deciding the case. Moreover, the Ger man government has given assurance that it would not detain foodstuffs des tined to the civilian population of al enemy. As there is no proof available on the high seas that the cargo woult !, be used, by the belligercnt forces of al enemy. international law authorities O various countries claim such questions
 should be settled in prize courts and no quarterback courts
 The United States maintained, in tn, case of the Knight Commander, during the Russo-Japanese war, that the de struction of the vessel by hussia becaus | it contained contraband was unwarrant ed. Other reasons, such as military neces
 sity. must be proved.

CARRANZA AND AID HELD RESPONSIBLE
 FOR THE SAFETY OF
 FOREIGNERS LIVES
tcontinucd from Page One,

at present is for you immediately to see General Carranza and present to him a
 most earnest and emphatic note in the following sense:
 ''rhe government of the United States
 has noted with increasing concern the
 reports of General Carranzas utterances to the residents of Mexico City.
 This government believes they tend to
 incite the populace to commit outrages
 in which innocent foreigners within Mex
 ican territory, particularly the City of
 Mexico, may be involved. This govern
 ment Is particularly impressed with Gen
 eral Obregon's suggestions that he would
 refuse to protect not only Mexicans but foreigners in case of violence, and that
 this present manifesto is a forerunner
 of others more disastrous in effect
 Tn this condition of affairs, the gov ernment of the United States is informed that the City of Mexico may be evacu- ated soon by the constitutionalist forces. leaving the population without protec- tion against whatever faction may choose to occupy it, thus shirking the fesponsi- bility which may happen as a result of the instigation to lawlessness before and after the evacuation of the city. The government of the United States is led to believe that deplorable situation ha s been wilfully brought about by constitu- , tionalst leaders.
 lmpUSSlUle SuuatlOn When factional leader preys upon a starving city to compel obedience to his
 decrees in melting outlawry and at the same time uses means to prevent the city from being supplied with food, a stua- tion is created which 1t is impossible for the United States to contemplate longer with patience
 Conditions have become intolerable and can no longer be endured. The gov ernment of the United States therefore desires General Obregon and General Carranza to know that it has. after ma | ture consideration. determined that If, as a result of the situation for which they are responsible, Americans will suffer by reason of the conduct of the constitu- 1 tionalist forces in the City of Mexico or
 because they fail to provide means of pro- | lection to life and property. will hold i General Obregon and General Carrapza 1 personally responsible
 "Therefore having reached this deter imitation the government of the United
 States will take such measures as are ex- pcdieni to bring to account those per-
 sonally responsible for what may occur
