 NOT SETTLED
Situation In That City Still Reported Very
 Grave.

Paris, March 31-Reports that the railroad strike in German-Austria has been settled are untrue, according to a Vienna despatch to the Echo De Paris, which was forwarded by way of Genoa. Negotiations between the strikers and Herr Renner, the chancellor and Herr Deutsch, secre- tary for naiT>&ary affairs, have failed and the strike continues on the East ern and Southern railroad, 1t Is said.
 Colonel Cary of the British army, who is at Triest. has offered to act as arbitrator, but the strikers have been destroying railroad property and stopping the transportation or food. A council of railroad workers has been formed in Styria.
 Chancellor Renner has impIored the strikers to moderate their de- Tnands, pointing out that in case of complications, the Entente troops will occupy the country. Ernployes of the western section of the Franz J oseph railroad have Joined in the strike which prevails on the northern G-Ed northwestern systems. A Brit ish representative at Vienna is re- ported to have issued a proclamation to the public exhorting the people not to interrupt the movement of food supplies The situation is reported to be still grave.

Washington, March 31-The American embassy at Mexico City was instructed today to make Inquiries concerning the report that the Mexican gov ernment has granted agricul- turaI concessions to Japanese in Lower California and to re- port the facts as quickly as pos sible.

AVER LEVINE HAS
 BEEN SLANDERED
English Writer Minimizes Stories of Outrages By
 Russians.

London. March 51-George Lans- bury, editor of the new labor news paper, the Daily Herald. declares that the Allies have received a proposal for an understanding with the present rulers of Russia and intImates that the conditions of that understanding are the withdrawal of Allied troops from Russia and the abandonment of the policy of interference in Russian affairs. Russia on her part, would be willing not to interfere with the affairs of other nations; allow Finland EsthGnia. Ukraine and other republics formed from the bygone Russian en- pire to choose their own forms of government and to pay Russia's in ternationa1 debts.
 The writer rninimizes stories of out rages by Russian revolutionaries, de- clarfng that such happenings have been less frequent than in other revo- lutions on 8 similar scale. He ayers that Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsh evik premier, and Leon Trotzky. the Bol- shevik minister of war and marine, have been "outrageously slandered" and describes the present administra- ton of Russia as clean and uncor- rupt." The reorganization of indus tries is proceeding everywhere in Russia, MT. Lansbury says.

 Due to Accident
 Declares Coroner

That Leonardo CapUano met death by accident is the finding of Coroner Phelan made today in the case of the man who was crushed under the wheels of a motor truck near the Remington Arms plant on March 26 last. The coroner said he could find no evidence that would make David Havery, driver of the truck, respon- sible for the fatality.
 CapuanO. who was employed at the Arms plant, was riding a bicycle on the drive near the plant and ap4 preached the truck from the rear. There were a number of persons walking along this drive. The cor oner says 1t cannot. be determined for certain whether the victim lurched toward the truck to avoid hitting these persons or 10 get a tow from the truck. At any rate, it was es- tablished that Havery did not see Capuano until the latter was falling toward the truck. Capuano's legs were crushed and he died soon after his arrival at the hospital,

QUEEN IS
 NOT \ BEAUTY
Draggled Fortune Teller, Babe i'll Arms, in Tolls
 of Law.

The City Court and attaches were somewhat disappointed this morning when Guyta Andre. a gypsy fortune teller. appeared before Judge Wilder on charge of the theft of $2.0O0 from Mary John of Portsmouth. Va The much heralded beauty of the accused was not noticeable. Instead of a viva ctous gypsy queen with flashing black eyes and naughty air. there appear ed 8 woeful. pied clad woman with an infant in her arms. She gave her name as Lena Stevens, 56 Lexington avenue.
 The woman was arrested on a warrant issued by the police of Ports mouth, Va. charging theft. Extra dition papers will follow Judge Wilder continued the case and held the woman under $2,000 bonds She is one of a band of gypsy fortune tell CTS now operating In Bridgeport. They have discarded the old, some what trtte name of fortune-teIIer and have adopted the more scientific title of 'Phren oIogist" It is said that this deception is very aIIurIng to the
 One of the schemes by which these clever operators extract money from the credulous is practiced in the fol- lowing manner. The customer who is looking for an insight into the future is brought into a darkened room where the appointments lend an afr of mystery. The victim Is seat ed at a table directly opposite the ''phrenologist" who immediately plays on the imagination of her lamb.
 Through chantings and other cajol- cry appealing to the fanatically relig- ious, an hysterical condition is brought about when the customer is instructed to lay money on the table This money disappears up the sleeve of the operator and the genuine roll Is substituted with phoney bills. The operator then wraps the fake money into a paper and Ito prove that you are more careful of your soul than you are of money" the paper and its contents are burned.
 The gypsy woman, attired in none too clean red and yellow raiment, with her baby. was taken back to her cell Others of her tribe hunted the po- lice station all morning and finally raised enough money to furnish a bond for the release of Guyta Andre.
