Following Mexican Consul Andres Car

Juarez to be executed possibly before
a great crowd at the race track, the
denial by General Herrera resulted in
great disappointment.
As the fondest hopes of the de facto
government were thus dissipated, u
new revolution against Carranza was
reported to be marking its progress
around Torreon with human corpses
swinging from telephone poles and
beheaded bodies left in the streets.
Earlier private messages from min

INSURANCE FIRMS
Want INDEMNITY
File Claims With State Depart
ment for Losses on the
Lusitania.

The United States Government faces
an entirely new legal question In setting
indemnity claims against Germany Tor
loss of life.
In the Iusitania disaster. officials or
the State Department said today. This
question Is whether payment by the
Government OF sums received as inde-
nity from Germany shall be paid to the
families Of Lusitania victims. or to IN
surarce companies which have paid life
policies to the heirs of the Lusitania
dead.
Claims have been received by the State
Department from number or insurance
companies. In which the Government Is
asked to reimburse them out OF moneys
received from Germany Cor sums they
have paid on policies held by Lusitania
victims.
These claims are based on the legal
distinction that when the Government
pressed Its claims for indemnity against
Germany these claims ceased to be prl-
vate claims.
Is Against State.
When the United States denounced
the sinking Of the Lusitania as an ilie-
gal act, the insurance companies ar
gued in presenting their position to the
State Department, Germany's offense
became one against the state. and not
against the citizen. and. therefore, In
demnity payment should be TO the state
and not to the Individual.
The companies insist the case is not
parallel to insurance losses in railway
accidents, as these are purely private
claims.
Pursuing this argument the insurance
companies claim 1t is the duty OF the
Government TO reimburse those who
suffered by this illegal act, and the in
surance companies point to their flnan-
cial loss as demanding consideration.
Claims With Department.
This question was brought to light by
announcement from Worcester. Mass.
that the Mutual Life Assurance Com
pany, of Worcester. had filed claims
against the State Department aggregat-
ing $50 900. which had been paid out on
policies held by Herbert 5. Stone. OF
New York. and Carlton T. Broderick
OF Newton. Mass
State Department officials today
would not single out any particula r
company, but they said claims had
been filed by scores OF the families OF
the 1l5 American Iusitania dead.
These claims are for varying amounts,
some running well into the thousands.

completion OF negotiations with the

Upon the death of her brother, the

There is remarkable romance at

the same fanciful pretext that the
princess would not marry unless she

Prince Charles was chosen ruler f
Rumania, and in the autumn of the
i'eXt year he returned to Wied to re-
mind the Princess Elizabeth of her de-
sire to rule over that kingdom.
Married, and settled in the palace at
Bucharest, the princess threw herself
with great ardor into the life of the
country. She learned to read and write
Rumanian, made herself acquainted
with the needs and requirements of
the land, and became so beloved that
the people called her The Little
