taivo. Cuban minister of the interior,
who came here recently for his
health, expressed surprise today
when informed that Mexico had an
nounced the breaking off of diplo-

MicS lUSk INSANE
CLAIM OF DEFENSE
Physician Tcstifies Teacher Unable
10 Distinguish Right and Wrong
at Time of Tragedy.

WAUKESTIA, Wis, May 25.-
Grace Lusk completed telling the
story of her life at her trial for
Staying Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts
today and the defense Immediately
began the introduction of expert tes-
timony TO prove her insane.
DR.. II. w. Powers. formerly OF
Chicago and now a resident OF Mil
waukee, in answering a Hypothetical
question nearly 5000 words in length
declared thaC in his opinion the de-
fendant was not OF sufficient mental
capacity at the time or the tragedy
to distinguish right and wrong and
that she was suffering from par
anOia.
The question recited at great
length Miss Lusk's early history, the
fact that she frequently suffered
from headaches which rendered her
unable to perform her duties as a
school teacher; that there was an
apparent strain of insanity In her
family; that just before meeting Dr..
Roberts she had suffered a nervous
breakdown and her relations with
the veterinarian regarding the FOL
lowing incidents:
That at one time she demanded
that DR.. Roberts take her for an
automobile ride instead of taking his
wife to club dinner.
That she persisted In telephoning
to him despite his plea that she be
more careful in her actions.
That she threatened him with a
pistol to make him swear that he
loved only her and would tell his
wife so.
That her demands and threats
finally resulted in her meeting with
Mrs Roberts and the shooting which
followed

BOSTON AND BOC1DER STREETS
MUST BE MIDENED.

"The suggestion Of The World
that the parkings on Boulder and
Boston streets he eliminated is one
of the most important and impcra-
tive propositions that Tulsa has to
settle" was the way member Of
the fire department expressed him
self yesterday In commenting on The
World editorial ealing this matter
to the attention OF the public "Just
think what would happen II there
was a hurry up call for the fire
department and It strung out down
either OF those streets when cars
arc parked as they are all day long,
II real accident did not happen
II would be fortunate and with every
precautlon the department O., would
run a chance Of getting through and
a fire could get such headway that
the city might suffer a terrible loss
before fire could be gotten under
control as a direct result of the dc
lay"
This is only one Of the many state
ments bearing out what The Worlt
had to say. The new adminstra
ton should not delay day in TAX
ing the steps for the immcdiat,
widening of Boulder and Bostot
streets by cutting down the park
ings. The World desires the ex
preston OF citizens generally upol
this subject. 1t is one that shoul'
not beIrpermitted to- rest, Let u
all .ses% sMsy and see that action
taken without further delay.

Step Believed to Be
Indirect Slap at
Americans.
TROUBLE OVER PAPERS
Seizure of Documents of
Minister in Havana
Causes Break.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-I
MeXico's sudden and unex-
pected suspension of diplo-
matte relations with Cuba
ia looked upon here as an
indirect move against the
United States which possibly
may foreshadow a breaking
of diplomatic relations with
this country.
The underlying cause for
Mexico's action, it is under
stood here, was a recent Incl
dent which Senor Fabela, her
minister to Argentina, while
on his way to Buenos Aires,
was held up in Havana while
his baggage was searched by
an official, supposedly la/Cu-
ban customs inspector, who, it
is reported, found among the
minister's effects certain
papers.
| Gives Cuba Free Hand.
The break between Cuba and
Mexico. II is felt. disrupts practic.
ally nothing but a long -standins
friendly relation. In the opinior
of those In close touch with the sub
ject II may actually give Cuba ,
free hand as the Mexican forAgr
minister says In his announcement
but perhaps not In the manner sug
gested.
American agents for some tim
have been reporting German agent
operating in Cuba, some OF ther
crossing frequently to the Unite
States as Cuban citizens or MexIca
citizens. A seyerence of diplomat
relations probably would leave tn
Cuban government more at liberty I
investigate their activities.
Course Unusual.
1t was said officially that IN
course of General Candide0 Aguilai
foreign minister, was unusual and N
official could recall a preceden. 70
suspension OF diplomatic relations
which was designed TO prevent pos
sible quarrel between two govern
ments. The action OF the Mexical
authorities appeared 10 be based t
some extent upon the assumption
that the Cuban government In carry
Ing on the war wcald be compellei
to take steps to which Mexican resi-
dents in Cuba would object and tina
the Mexican government would b
Obliged to support those objections
automatically represented In ia
vana, which mightslead 10 trouble
One of the possibilities Z the situa
ton Is that suspension of diplomats
relations might also follow betweci
Mexico and Guantemala, Costa RicI
and Nicaragua since all of thes
countries have declared war upoi
Germany and Mexlco's relations with
them are similar TO those she hai
had with Cuba.

This appeal from the state head
quarters last night found Tulsa far
past its quota. Though the actual
campaign has closed. there VIII De
more added to the total before the
erd of the week and there is little
doubt that Tulsa county Will double
its quota of s180,000.
The city has gone over the top in
splendid manner and the committee
expects more money 20 come IN all
week. In fact. it is not thought that
a final total can be made until tiie
end Of the week.
CITY Contributes s260,O0O.
To date Tulsa citizens have CON
tributcd $260,0c0 to the cause that
"keeps the protecting mother-hand
over our boys in France They
have contributed more than gener-
ously. knowing o,what real purpose
the money is expended
The quota for Tulsa county Was
set at s1S0,000. The city alone mas
exceeded that amount by *so;Cvo,
and at least $4,000 Is expected from
a,,ti,ine districts of the county. An
other $4,000 is expected from 'he
city in the next week.
"a with this money in, there is no
doubt in the minds of the Red Cross
Campaign committee but what Tulsa
county will double the quota. AT the
present rate of figuring. is is known
that there has been subscribed by
the county. $4,000. leaving $4,000
TO be raised.
The theatrical troupe completed
its tour yesterday at noon. They gave
performances at Owasso, Dawson
