MRS. BEUTINGER
LOSES BAIL FIGHT
Justice Says Slayer Must
Stay in Jail-Calls Story
Inconsistent.

Chief Justice William B. Gummere
in the Newark Court House declared
yesterday that while ne sympathized
as man with Mrs. Margaret Claire
Beutinger, accused Of killing her hus-
band at Caldwell, n. j.. as Justice
Of the Supreme Court he must deny
her request for bail.
Mrs. Beutinger's attorney, Robert a..
McCarter, offered any amount OF bond,
and pleaded that the woman's physical
condition, coupled with the fact that
she was soon TO become q mother and
that her five children needed her, en-
titled her to bail.
Justice Gummere said Mrs. Beutin-
gers story, as presented in lengthy
affidavit, showed inconsistencies.
She had failed to explain fully, he
declared, how fear had caused her to
arm herself Nor had she made clear
what had happened in the first and sec
ond trips of her husband to her room.
She had not told all that occurred dur
ing the third visit, when he was shot.
The affidavit of Sergeant Walter
Godfrey Of the Prosecutors Office was
referred to by the court as point
against Mrs. Beutinger. Godfrey says
he believes Mrs. Beutinger might have
escaped, since she was nearer the door
than her husband. >,
"If | were charging a grand jury,
said the chief justice, 81 would have TO
saw. Gentlemen, with these facts be-
fore YOU it is your duty to indict this
woman for murder and leave 1t TO the
trial Jury after they have heard her
story TO decide her innocence or
guilt"

Carranza Wants Aliens
Under Mexican Law Only

Radical changes in the laws govern
ing foreigners doing business in Mexico
are about to be made by General Car
rama in DEGREES which later will be in
cluded in a new constitution, according
to recent arrivals in New York from
Mexico City.
The new regulations, it is said, will
provide that all foreign investors be-
fore entering business in Mexico must
agree not to have recourse in any case
70 any other law than that of Mexico,
and that they will not be entitled to
any privileges not enjoyed by Mexicans.
1t will also be provided that foreign
capital already invested in Mexico may
enjoy the right to be considered for
eign and be entitled to the protection
of its own government until the ex-
piration of the concession or agreement
that it may have entered into, provided
it is not for a very long period.
Another provision is designed TO fix
a uniform period for all the long OF
unlimited contracts, leases or conces-
sions in which foreign capital is inter
ested. and that at the end of this period
they will be considered subject only TO
the authority of the Mexican govern
ment and deprived of the right of APP
peal for protection to their respective
governments.

direction of older people. were dis
obeying the laws" Mr.. Smith wrote.
"They stayed there until 3 o'clock in
the morning, and reported to our su-
perintendent they not only could not
fnd such children, but, in addition,

Gov. Colquitt Far Ahead
of CulberSOn in Sen
atOrial Primary.
5 ADMINISTRATION
MEN ALSO BEATEN
Lone Star Democrats Amaze
Party Leaders by Repudia-
ton of President.

Washington, July 24.-Onc Of the
most bitetr critics the Administration
has ever had may sit in the United
States Senate from the strongest
Democratic state in the Union, as the
result of the primaries in Texas on
Saturday. Despite the entire power OF
the Administration behind Senator
Culberson; despite the vigorous sup
port of the old Bailey machine, now
being tuned up for an effort by Bailey
TO "come back" two years hence, Gov
ernor o. b. Colquitt, who regards
Woodrow Wilson as an incompetent,
and says so. led Senator Culberson by
more than 10000, according 70 figures
late to-day.
Republicans here are delighted at
the news. regarding the action of the
Lone Star State as n repudiation OF
Mr.. Wilson in the house OF his friends.
They also point to the defeat IN the
primaries Of five Administration mem
bers of the House, while the one mem
Der who was singled out for attack by
the Presd dent-Jef McLemore, author
of the armed ship resolution-was re-
nominated in a statewide vote, he being
one of the Rrepresentatives-at-large.
Denounced Wilson Administration.
"The Wilson Administration has been
the greatest failure in the history or
the Presidency" wrote Governor Col
Quit on December 26, 1914. Its for
eign policy has been imbecie. Its re-
peal Of the Panama Canal tolls exemp-
ton in violation of the party's national
platform was another weak surrender
to England.
"The Wilson-B Bryan management or
the Mexican affair has been an egregi-
Gus failure. They landed an American
army in Vera Cruz to force Huerta TO
salute the flag, and have brought 1t
back without getting the salute. what
did il accomplish? 1t set all Mexico
allame against the Americans, not only
in Mexico but in Texas. II brought
on reign of terror all along the Texas
border.
"Wilson and Bryan have stood by,
encouraging one gang OF bandits after
another. while people were being butch
cred all over Mexico.
"The Administration antitrust laws
are barcfaced fakes, so far as protect
ing the people from trust oppression Is
concerned. / am fully convinced the
national election of 1916 will end the
Democratic regime"
These are a few comments from
long article dealing with nearly every
phase OF the Wilson Administration, IN
which Governor Colquitt did not spare
his fellow Texan. Attorney General
Gregory. close friend of the President,
and Colonel House.
Making It perfectly clear just how
little he thought of the Administration
in frank speeches all over the state,
Texas politicians here were amazed
that Coiquitt should have Received the
votes of $1,000 Texas Democrats, while
the best Senator Culberson could do
was about $4,000. They predict that in
the "run off," which will take place
five weeks from Saturday, Mr.. Culber-
son will win, but the fact that so many
Democrats in Texas apparently agree
with Governor Colquitt about Wilson is
giving not only Texas Democrats here
but Democrats from all over the coun-
try considerable worry.

100000 ASKED TO AID
SENATE NAVY BILL
National Security League OPP
poses House Measure.

The National Security League yes
terday appealed to its 100000 mem
bers to ask the members Of Congress
representing their respective districts
to vote for the Senate navy bill. The
action was taken after the league
learned that Little Navy" members Of
the House were organizing their forces
to insist upon the passage of the bill
along the lines passed by the House.
The appeal headed "A Real Fight
for Real Navy Is Just Beginning"
says, in part: "The army bill does
nothing for the country's safety. 1t
nominally authorizes an army OF l!9,-
coo men. but the appropriation bill
provides for an increase of only $1,000.
Let us help real preparedness in the
navy while waiting for universal mill

PEOPLES"
BANK CLOSED
Mutual Trust Company, of
Orange, N. j., in Hands
of Examiners.

The Mutual Trust Company, Of
Orange, n. j.. known as "the poor peo-
pies bank of the Oranges" closed it's
doors last night by order Of George F.
La Monte, State Banking and Insurance
Commissioner. 1t is stated on high
authority that arrests Of men con-
nected with the bank are imminent.
No estimate of an alleged shortage
could be made last night. Ths state
bank examiners, who have been boiling
over the books for a week, are said to
have first discovered discrepancies two
days ago. They worked until midnight
striving to straighten the financial tan
giles of the concern. The direct cause
was the discovery that deposits had
been overcertifed.
The great majority Of the banks de-
positors are working people Of the
Oranges. The Pstrolmen's Mutual
Benefit Association had made the
Mutual the depository Of its pension
fund, upon which aged policemen and
widows depend.
Every precaution was taken By the
police TO prevent rioting before the
banks building, at Scotland Street and
Highland Avenue, after news of the
closing had spread through the
Oranges. Throngs Of serous-faced men
and women trooped to the institutions
doors. but the presence OF police re-
serves prevented any disorder.
According to attorneys for Thomas
5. Byrne, secretary-treasurer of the
bank, a full statement of the institu-
tion's business had been made to state
officials. Mr.. Byrne denies that any
blame for the failure is attached to
himself. Charles X. Wilmot, pres lent
of the Mutual, has made no statement
to the public.
The bank carried much of ex-senator
James Smiths paper. Early reports
were to the effect that the closing was
closely linked with Senator Smith s
failure last winter 1t was later as
serted on good authority that all Of
Senator Smiths paper had been taken
care of as MS notes fell due.
The Mutual Trust Company was capi-
talized at 100000, and its last report
listed its surplus at 100000. It's re-
source, in the same report, were placed
at 81, GAS, SOB.
