STATE DEPARTMENT CR088E3 .SWORDS WITH NORSE GOVERN MENT OVER NICARAGUA. lV DECLARES BLUEFIELDS A 18 AN OPEN PORT This Is Counter to Norway's Deloara tion and a Repudiation of Scheme to Aid Norse Shipping Interest*—Ac ilon Taken on Protest of New Or leans Business Interests. IT "Washington, July 22. Crossing diplomatic swords with Norway, the state department, replying to a pro test from the New Orleans comrmerrolaL. Interests against the Norwegian recog nition of the Blueflelds, Nicaragua, blockade, today declared Blueflelds an open port. Norway, it was said, was misinformed of the conditions there when that country recognized the 'bel ligerency of the Maqdirz government. Norway's ''misunderstandI ngf' -was laid by the state department to Michael J. Clancy, consular representative of Norway at Blueflelds, and until yes terday vice consul of the United States of the same port. Acting Secretary of State Wilson tod^y announced lliat Clancy's resignation as vice con sul has been accepted, hl3 service in a. dual capacity toeing against the law. Will Protect American Cargoes. In connection with the statement that Norway was mistaken about Blueflelds being blockaded, the department in its jeply to the New Orleans interests, quoted at length from various in structions given weeks ago toj the American naval officers in Nicaragua, to the effect that Madrlz was to be prevented by force of arms from Inter fering with legitimate American trade entering Blueflelds. No new position 1« announced by the government, but the state department's action is taken as an indication that the United States will protect American cargoes entering Blueflelds whether carried under the flag of the United States or any other nation. 'Supplies Held Up, Wilson declined to state definitely •what the course of the United States would be or comment upon what effect a reply might have upon the diplomatic relations between this country and Norway. For days shipments of sup plies to Blueflelds and of cargoes of fruit from that port to the United Startes have been suspended because the only ships available for the pur pose carried the Norwegian flag. Their owners refused to leave New Orleans for Blueflelds because of notification of the Norwegian government that It recognized the-blockade. Lack of sup plies threatened to hamper seriously the commercial interests, and was said to Jeopardize the cause of the Estrada forces. .v'.."' EXPLOSION WRECKS GARAGE.

Chicago, July 22.—Coroner Hoffman announces! today that he had received information which led him to believe that Rawn was murdered for revenge. He immediately went into conference with Acting Chief of Police Schuet tler. "I have obtained a new clue In con nection with the death of (Rawn," said •Hoffman, "and my information looks very good. I also have information concerning the identity of the alleged slayer, but I do not care to make my information public until after a conv ference with Acting Chief Schuettler."* Mrs. Rawn was reported seriously III today. She was too ill to make a state ment desired by an attorney. The coroner intimated that Rawn's murderer was a negro, but would give no further Information. It is said an important arrest will be made soon. Ralph C. Coburn, the son-in-law, scouts the revenge theory and clings to the burglar story. Murder Verdict Probable. In view of these facts and of the few statements thus far made by the fam ily the coroner's Jury tea decided to bring in a verdict of murder unless startling testimony tending to show suloide is adduced at the hearing. Jur ors have stated that they do not be lieve that the Illinois Central affairs had anything to do with It. New interest has been attached to Rawn's recent examination before Master Hi Chaausery Taylor. The ques tions tend to fix Rawn's responsibility for the «cts of all those under him-with regard to the .farming out of cor re pairing and show that nothing could have bean done without his authority, it is contended. The companies 'hoTMnrg" Rawn's life Insurance will have no defense to pay' ment, even if suicide is proven, but tbe nine accident insurance companies, whose policies aggregate at least #106, 000, will spare no effort «o get at the bottom of the affair. The Illinois Ceritral prosecution is also interested in the Inquest, since proeeflings against the estate of the dead man to recover the hundreds of thousands of dollars of which he Is al leged to have defrauded the railroad are contemplated. More Revelations Promised. New information obtained yesterday from those familiar with -this prosecu tion showed that Rawn was considered the central figure in the conspiracy, that hie name had been Incorporated In the first draft of the bill charging fraud now on hearing, and that only consideration of tacltcal procedure caused the taking of direct action against him to be deferred. It Is further said that his answers to certain questions before Master in Chancery Taylor left him open to other criminal procedure than had before been contemplated—namely: for per jury. A host of revelations of the details of the alleged conspiracy against the Illi nois Central which *would eclipse In Importance all that has thus far been disclosed In the railroad suits was made clear beyond a doubt yesterday by officials of the Illinois Central and attorneys in charge of the prosecution of the graft suits. Second Rswn Bullet Found. The missing second bullet In the Ira G. Rawn tragedy—or at least a smashed bit of lead looked upon 'by the dead railroad official's family as the bullet missing from his weapon—has been found. In this discovery members of the Rawn fa/nily are convinced they have the evidence that will remove the last doubt as to the circumstances that led up to his death. It Is the clinching argument, they believe, supporting their theory that Mr. Rawn's revolver was discharged at a burglar and that it was the bullet from the intruder's weapon that took his life. But outside the family circle the situation Is viewed in a different light. Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler, whose detectives were repulsed and re fused admittance to the house, an nounced that the reports of his men convinced him that the president of the Monon had ta}cen his own life. Insurance officials who are lnvestl ing the case independently -because of his $147,000 of life and accident In surance refused to voice any definite opinion. If their Investigation should disclose that Mr. Rawn ended his life the accident policies, aggregating $105,000, would become worthless. ADVANCED RATES SUSPENDED.
