Dill WORTH CASE MAY
FURNISH SURPRISE

New York Sept. 1.-Two mysterious
witnesses in the Dilworth murder case.
which now threatens to develop along
new and sensational lines. was discov-
cred today.
They are Miss r. G. Ballard, Of No
5o7 West One Hundred and Thirtieth
Street. and Hyman Mendelsohn, whose
home Is in the Bronx.
Miss Ballard has told tho police that
she was one OF the passengers in q
touring car that was close to that OF
Dwight Dilworth in Lovers Lane, Van
Cortlandt Park. when the lawyer was
shot in the presence of his companion
Miss Mary McNiff.
It was not willingly that she gave
this information. When nrst question
ed on the subject by the police she re
fused to admit that she had been near
the place. Under pressure however
she went as far as to reveal the fact
IL 1t was fact that she had actually
witnessed the shooting.
Another eyewitness. according to
the narrative. was Hyman Mendelsohn
who. she said. had been her compan-
ion in the touring car.
Mendeisohn vehemently denied hav-
ridden in the park that night with
Miss Ballard. Nevertheless. the police
regard them both as important wilt
nesses and are confident Of uncover
ing a series of important facts which
will give the case an entirely new
complexion.

WESTMORElAMO DAVIS
CHALLENGES SlEMP
torfal Nomination Resents Re-
publican's Insinuation.

Bascom Slemp, Republican. repre-
sentative OF the Ninth Virginia Dis
trtct in Congress. has been challenged
to debate by westmoreland Davis, of
Loudoun. candidate for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination. The
challenge followed the publication by
Mr.. Slemp of his reply to a circular
letter received by him. among hun
dreds of other Virginians.
The publication was designed to
show that Mr.. Davis had asked Mr..
Slemp aid him in his campaign for
the nomination for Governor at the
Democratic primaries in 1917. Re-
plying to the letter of Mr.. Slemp and
to the publication Mr.. Davis says that
the letter received by Slemp was one
of multigraphed form. signed with
rubber stamp after the name of the
addresses had been filed in on type
writer. The addressing of the letter to
Mr.. Slemp was an inadvertance. the
letter being for Democratic voters
only. In part Mr.. Davis letter to
Mr.. Slemp says:
the nomination of your Democratic
opponent for Congress. 1 then offered
my services in his campaign. I shall
seek, and hope for a meeting with
You before the electorate of the great
Ninth District, when can be discussed
the issues that have arisen to plague
your political ambition. and I assure
you that I shall not stoop to artifice
or recrimination.
l am sure that you would not will
lingly misrepresent me. / am con-
however. to say with a full
realization OF the gravity of the mean
ing that the words convey. that even
the insinuation, by whomsoever made,
that l have Intentionally sought your
aid In my campaign for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination Is SO
false that its malice must be apparent
to all honest. fair minded men.
Subject to the approval of the con-
gressional Democratic committee, I
shall always be ready to meet you in
political debate. I anxiously await the
opportunity that I am sure you will
gladly welcome.

PROTESTS TO SWEDEN ON
SUBMARINE SITUATION

"A Paris. Sept. l5.-The French gov
5ornment has instructed the minister
n Stockholm to join with the other
sentente ministers IN presenting a
friendly but firm note 10 Sweden in
regard to its policy Of neutrality.
II The note takes issue with the posi-
ton OF Sweden In distinguishing be-
tween submarines for war and those
for commerce. which the French gov
Iernment afirms has IAN effect con-
trary to neutrality, since the Swedish
naval forces would hesitate to at
tack a German submarine in Swed-
tsh waters under the pretext that II
might be a commercial submarine,
whereas there would he no similar
hesitation in dealing with a suhma-
rine of the allies because they have
no commercial submarines"
The note deals with a number of
questions relative TO navigation and
conciudes:
"The attitude adopted by the Swed
lsh government is at variance in OBJ
vious respects with an attitude which
IL compatible with the duties OF a
loyal and impartial neutral"
