PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
Counsel for DIR. Waite, Reserves Right
to Change Plea.

New York, April 11.-Dr. Arthur
Warren Waite, who has confessed to
poisoning his father-in-law, John f.
Peck, millionaire drug manufacturer,
of Grand Rapids, Mich, entered
through his counsel yesterday a plea
of not guilty, when arraigned on the
indictment charging him with mur-
der in the first degree. His counsel,
however, reserved the right to change
the plea within ten days.
District Attorney Swami consented
to this arrangement and Dr.. Waite
was committed to the Tombs without
bail, to await trial. No date was. set,
The arraignment required onlyn two
minutes and Dr.. Waite spoke no
word but stood, pale and quiet, gazing
at the floor, 1t was apparent that he
had not fully recovered from his i'll
ness.
The prisoner was weak, too, from
the strain of his experience, preceding
his arraignment. He had been removed
from the observation ward of Belle
vue Hospital in an automobile driven
by his brother, Frank Waite.
Before the machine started off DR..
Waite posed for a moment for NOV
ing picture photographers.
The trip to the criminal courts
building was interrupted by a visit
to police headquarters. There DR..
Waite was photographed, while his
finger prints and measurements were
taken. He declined to talk.

ly from his wound, put bullet
through Rehaza's brain.

ded Leon Bari, French merchant Of
Guerrero, four Arab peddlers and a
number of Mexicans to the three AM
ericans and two other foreigners re-
ported killed by Villas men at Min

His fight from the American pur-
suit was through Minaca and La
Junta, thence through Ell Rancho de
Santiago and Cierro Prieto to Satevo
and Ojo Azules.
No opposition was offered by Car
rama soldiers at any Of these places,

Petty Dispute Over Removal of Ash

Atlantic City, April IL Vernon
Lewis, 81 years old, a fireman at the
Hotel Grand Atlantic, on South Vir-
ginia avenue, was stabbed to death
by Nicholas Duray, the engineer, up
on whom he. had pounced during a
quarrel in the engine room of the ho-
tel early Sunday morning. Duray
declares the killing was in self-defense
and the police are disposed to accept
his version of the tragedy. Lewis is
said to have been drinking heavily
of late and was in a surly mood
when he reported for duty Sunday
morning. He bitterly complained to
Charles A. Shaw, owner of the hotel
because Duray had ordered him tc
cart. out the ashes, and when given
no satisfaction turned on Duray with
vile epfthets. The engineer pushed
the infuriated fireman away and re-
turned to his task OF cutting pipe
gaskets with a sharp penknife. Here
accounts differ, Duray declaring tha
the fireman grapplea Win him, while
Mr.. Shaw's statement is to the etfcc
that Duray was attacked from behint
and was being slowly strangled whel
he drove the knife into his adversary

other forces at4 the same time trying
to slip through shs ravine near Gu
mieres. To aid the maneuver an at
tack was simultaneously made on
the east hank of the Meuse, in the
region of Champ Neuvile-Vacherau-
vile. The few hundred men who had
succeeded in penetrating the ravine
were left on the field after the ac'
ton proved unsuccessful.
A third attack at the same time
was delivered on position strongly
organized by the French northeast
of Avocourt, the object seemingly
being to drive in the French line
far enough to turn Hill 3O4, which
lies 800 yards south and constitutes
what is characterized as the Gibral-
tar in the French line in that dis
trict. This attack met with more
success than the others, but after

Germans was an Increase in their

The Germans losses are again said

these included considerable pro-
