Voodooiism Blamed
For Child Staying;
More Bones Found

CRISFIELD, Md, April 22.-The
discovery of handsful Of human
bones, unquestionably those of in
fants, in the bed of a pond on the
outskirts of Chrisfield followed the
finding of the headless bodies Of two
coIored children in the same pond
last Thursday afternoon. These
bodies were toed in a sack which
also contained the heads of three
colored children. The pond had beer
drained off in fruitless effort to
find the third body.
The authorities are perplexed by
the fact that no complaints of child
killing have reached them and they
are inclined to share the belief OF
some residents that the children
were sacrifices to voodooism.
Police investigation thus far has
been barren of results. Police Chief
James w. Kirwin explained that the
negroes on this point of the eastern
shore peninsula are taciturn. They
never tell on one another, he said,
no matter what they do or are ac-
cused of doing.

Man Who Died Said
To Have Been Guilty
OF Killing SO Years Ago

NATCHEZ, Miss, April 20. - A
man who died in a hospital here
April 2 Just as he attempted to tell
hia name to Captain William
Kearns, Of the Salvation Army, is
believed to have been John w. Lee,
wanted for the killing of woman
in North Carolina nearly half a CEN
fury ago, according to a letter Cap
tain Kearns has received from J. H.
Norman, of Halifax, N. c.
Captain Kearns was able to catch
only the name Lee" as the patient
passed away, but when a resident
of Concordia parish, Louisiana, stat
ed that the man, during his resi-
dence in that vicinity, had indicat.
ed that a Staying in North Carolina
many years ago was preying upon
his conscience, Captain Kearns
communicated with the authorities
at Raleigh. The man had told Cap
tain Kearns he was a native OF
North Carolina.
Mr.. Norman wrote the Salvation
Army official that woman named
Avery Moore was killed forty-five
years ago and that John w. Lee,
wanted for the Staying, escaped to
Texas.

RECOGNITION HOPES
REVIVED AS MEXICO
RESTATES POSITION
Renewed Assurances That
American Property Rights
viii Be Protected Present.
ed to President

WASHINTON, April 21.-Hope
Of an understanding between the
United States and Mexico again has
been revived as a result of recent
exchanges centering about the pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty on Mexican soil.
A restatement of the whole Mexi-
can attitude, including an explana-
ton Of which government proposals
to clarity the much debated article
q of the Mexican constitution, has
been laid before the Washington
government by the Mexican en-
bassy, and apparently has been re-
ceived as an important step toward
agreement.
Further discussions are in prog
ress at Mexico City and a public
announcement is expected within
few days.
No official here will comment on
the situation but there was every
outward evidence tonight that a
new element of hope had been in
jected into the long-perplexed rela-
tionship between Washington and
Mexico City.
For many months the controversy
which has prevented recognition has
revolved about article 27, which has
been regarded here as confiscatory
OF American holdings in Mexico I'M
lessi it were so interpreted as to
exclude any possibility of it's appli-
cationf sretroactively. Without that
positive Interpretation, it has been
felt, the article might easily be in
voked to cancel American conces-
sions granted before the constitution
was adopted.
Recently a number Of Mexican
supreme court decisions bearing on
the disputed clause were forwarded
to Washington by Mexico City as
evidence that no retroactive or con-
fiscatory policy. was contemplated.
These decisions were found unsatis-
factory, however, and it was reiter-
sted that the guarantees to be Civ
en- must be of different character.
The draft treaty submitted by the
United States in 1921 contained ex-
p1icit provisions for the protection Of
American rights against confisca-
ton, but heretofore President Obre-
gon has taken the position that he
could not sign under existing cir
cumstances. Some changes in the
wording of several parts of the doc.
ument have been suggested and
these, together with, the legislation
recently brought forward in the
Mexican congress, are said to have
brought the viewpoints of the two
capitals much nearer together. -
Yesterday at the White House it
was said that President Harding
regarded the Mexican situation as
improving daily and it was learned
today that he had formulated that
opinion after being fully informed
by Charge Teller, Of the Mexican
embassy, regarding the latest moves
at Mexico City, In addition to per-
sonal conferences with the presi-
dent and Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Tel
lez is understood to have presented
recently in more concrete way in
-tentions of President Obregon and
his advisers

HAMMER SLAYER
BELIEVED LOCATED
IN HONDURAN CITY

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 21-
The jungle wilds of Honduras have
given up a woman fugitive. believed
to be Clara Phillips, the hammer
slayer"
Cables are burning with queries
as to the mysterious woman's iden-
tity. Official Washington has been
drawn into the, play.
Although Identification is not COM
plete, inasmuch as Clara's finger
prints and photographs have not
reached the latin-American republic.
authorities here are confident the
woman who beat Alberta Meadows
to death with hammer, is the per-
son now under surveillance in a
hotel in the drowsy tropical city of
Tagucigalpa, Honduras.
tverification sof Clara's presence
there virtually was clinched
by a consular dispatch to
Secretary of State Charles e. Hugh
es in Washington, asking if Califor-
MIA authorities wished to take steps
to extradite her.
Governor Richardson, of Califor-
MIA, Immediately wired Secretary
Hughes requesting that she be he'd
and Sheriff Traeger is preparing ex-
tradition papers.
Hon rrr;I opIo,, 49, a.
ported virtually is assured, accord
ing to Consul General Rodriguez Of
Los Angeles
Immediately following the news of
Clara's presence in Honduras, in
company Of Jesse Carsen of Los
Angeles, an ex-convict against whom
charges Of arson are pending here,
and Of cattle. stealing in Kansas,
Clara's husband, Armour Phillips,
was arrested as a material witness.
He was released on $1,000 bond,
which was produced from an uniden-
titled source by his wife's attorney,
Bert Harrington. Harrington has
filed habeas corpus, the hearing on
which is scheduled for Monday.
Phillips was taken into custody
the day following Clara's- sensational
escape but he established an alibi
1t is now declared he was friendly
with Carson and gave him check
for $4,000, according to authorities.
There was some confusion in re-
gard to- Carsen's companion origi-
nally, as her description did not fit
Clara. The United States consul. |
however, reported he was travelling
with woman posing as Mrs. Car
sen, and that Clara was accompany.
ing them under the name of Mrs. |
r. M. Young.

was abolished four years ago, some
declare there was a general impress
sion that the law was intended to
well. The measure if it's final form,
however, did notsextend to the leas-
ing of county convicts, and it has
been said on the floor of the legisla-
ture at its present session that the
law was drafted so loosely that the
leasing of state prisoners to private
concerns would be possible under it.
House Bill to Come Up
AT the opening of the present ses-
sion three different bills looking to
the wiping of the county convict
leasing system were introduced in
the house, and were referred to the
house committee on conVicts, which
drafted a substitute measure. This
bill with various amendments is ex-
pected to come before the house
for final action this week. A SEN
ate bill of the same character was
passed Friday.
The house bill, il enacted finally
into law in its present shape, will
not take effect until January 1,
1924, a majority of the committee
declaring that the present convict
leases with private concerns should
be allowed to run Until that date.
The various counties are not re-
quired to report to the state authori-
ties as to these leases, but the re-
port of the state prison supervisors
show the existence of at least six
private leases. These six had only
1915 county cOnVictS Under lease this
spring.
The official report shows that nine
ty-four whippings were distributed
among the ISL prisoners during the
past three months.
