BREAKS DOWH UNDER CROSS-EXHIIiei Mrs. Amanda Koch Creates a Scene During Trial of Baby Substitution Case. OWN SECRET REVEALED Shrieks and Moans Heard Throughout the San Fran cisco Courthouse. 3 AN lRANCISCO, Oct. 1G. Mrs. Amanda Koch, one of the chief wit nesses against Lieutenant Charles Rey nard Slingsbj' and his wife in the famous "SliuRsby baby substitution" case, which involves an inheritance, abruptly interrupted the taking of dep ositions today when she broke down under cross-examination, became hys terical and was taken violently ill. The hearings began this morning in tho oflicc of British Vice Consul Doug las Young, acting as commissioner for tho court of chancery of England. Mrs. Koch 's hysteria caused tho post ponement of tho case at noon today, but she will probably bo placed upon the stand again tomorrow. Her Past Revealed. . As a warm friond of Airs. Hattie Blain, at whoso home Mrs. Sliugsby has contended her son was born. Mrs. Koch was testifying today that no child was born to the lioutcnant's wife there in the fall of 1910. This is also expected to be tho contention of Mrs. Blaiu when she is placed upon tbo stand. The threo-ycar-old sou, which Mrs. Slingsby claims was born at that time, is now offered as tho legitimate son of Lieutenant Slingsby and the rightful heir to tho million dollar estate bequeathed by tho late liov, Charles Sliugsby of Yorkshire, and now enjoyed by tho lieutenant. When Attorney Oliver Dibblo, repre senting the Slingsbys, took tho witness after Attorney ' Andrew Thome, for the prosecution; had completed his questions, Mrs. Koch answered Dibble's questions haltingly. Sho appeared nervous, and had scarceb' started be fore she made an inadvertent statement as to her own conduct, which caused a painful scene. - Shrieked and Moaned. Tho information divulged is said to have been known by the Slingsbys for somo time, but had not been revealed proviously. Mrs. Koch collapsed, and her shrieks and moans wore heard throughout tho building. Tho testi mony, however, was not relcvent to the case. Mrs. Blain sitting in the anteroom, hoard her friend's cries and rushed into the witness room. Apparently guessing that Mrs. Koch's secret was put,' she went to Mrs. Koch and min istered to her, after directing several sharp words at Mrs. Slingsby. The breakdowu of the witness for the members of tho Slingsby family, who are contesting the claim's of tho baby boy, ended tho taking of deposi tions for tho day. It is doubtful what the next moveniont will bo. Hearing is being hold in private. Charles Eugene Edward Slingsby, the "Slingsby baby" involved in the case, was not. present todav.

Mr. Hitchcock refused to name any date for tho report on the bill, but in dicated that it would take some time to prepare all tho amendments that would bo written into the measure. Amendments Necessary. "Some of these amendments will be radical," continued Senator Hitchcock. "Many others arc of a minor character.

' ' Senator Hitchcock frankly admitted that he saw no prospects of passing the bill at this session of congress. Sena tor Eeed declined to discuss his talk with tho prosidont.

One of the most interesting features of a federation programme Is the open parliament, which conies on the last dny of the convention. Us popularity is presumably dun to the fact that all of the delegates got an opportunity of exercising a woman's privilege of talk ing. The parliament this morning was conducted by Miss Gertrude McChoyno of Logan. Dress Discussed. The first topic considered was "Dress." Tho discussion was led by Mrs. A. l- Paint of Provo, one of tho, faculty of tho Provo high school. Mrs, Palm strongly favored a uniform dress for school girls and boys.

Predion Wilson indicated today to those with whom he discussed the Mexican situa Hon that he was irrevocably deter mined to deal no longer with the Huer ta regime, but that further steps to ward bringing about peace in Mexic-i. were being considered.

Tho suggestion was carried to President "Wilson by jJ thoso whose advice ho and Secretary Bryan have followed to somo extont in the past, and while tho attitude is one of waiting until October 26 arrives, it appears that some move indicating sup port for the constitutionalists is not improbable. Carranza Could jJ Restore Order. IH Such action might not. be formal recognition, which would present a ''1 curious tangle in technicalities of in ternational law, but it is pointed out by those who are urging informal deal ings with the constitutionalists that in reality Governor Carranza was legally jH elected chief executive of the state of ! jJ Coahuila, and that ho and Governor Maytoroua of Sonora .justify their armed resistance of Huorta as a moas- jJ ure of defense against those who jJ took possession of the federal govern- rnenl machinery iu the Mexican capital jJ by arbitrarily overthrowing Madoro.
