MEXICO'S FAMINE

Conference Expected to Clear
Up Misunderstanding with
Red Cross.
BUSINESS BOOMS
HORROR TALES IN DOUBT
Rumor that Interventionists Inspired
Reports Is Proved
Baseless.
A conference like) to hive an inv
portant bearing on the Mexican situa
tion, and particularly with reference to
the Red Cross famine relief work in that
country, will take place at the White
House next week at the earlicft conveni
ence of President Wilson.
For some time representatives of the
Red Cross hae been anxious for a con
ference ujth the President to discuss
with him the situation in Mexico as it
presents itself since the issuance of the
Preident's appeal to the country of more
than a month ago Since the President
has been ana) the Red Cross has found
that conditions in Mexico were such as
to make It difficult to carr on relief
work consktentlv with Red Cross prin
ciples, while at the same time Red Cross
' ynnnlttecs throughout the countr have
imported that they did not foel like ask
ing the people of their districts for con
tributions until there was assurance that

destitute noncombatants
Reports Dlxplrnxr AVlInon.
Another development is the fact that
some misunderstanding has arisen be
tween the White House and the Red
Cross rega-ding the reports about con
ditions In Mexico which the organization
has made public. An intimation reached
the Red Cross a fen davs ago, it is
understood, that the President was not
altogether pleased with some of the re
ports made public by the Red Cross It
was said subsequently that It was feared
the Red Cross might be deceived bv per
sons Interested in bringing about Amer
ican Intervention in Mexico The charge
has repeatedly been made that pro-in
terventionists were busv spreading the
most alarming reports about famine con
ditions in Mexico The Carranza agenc

FIGURES REVEAL
Public Officials Convinced
that Financial Improvement
Is Permanent.
EXPORT TRADE JUMPS
Express Companies and Railroads
Show Healthy Conditions in Re
ports to Government.
TWO-SIDED MAN SHOWN IN
CORRESPONDENCE OF HOLT
Letters Give No Indication of Violence of Character, but
Clippings in Collection All Deal with
Crime and Insanity.
Ofhcial figures made public jester-
day bv the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Department of Com
merce indicate a marked improvement
in business conditions.
Public officials in every department
are most sanguine over the outlook,
and not onl) believe that conditions
have substantially improved, but that
the improvement is of a permanent
character. Here are some of the
things upon which this official opinion
Is based:
During the month of March last
the nine principal express companies
converted what was a deficit In
March of last jear of J4.C19 into a.
credit amounting to $762,920 in net
operating revenues. During the month
of Mav, compared with the like pe
riod of last year, 174 railroads in
creased their net revenue from opera
tions from $56,202,105 to $70,261,001
This satisfactory Increase was main
tained in proper proportion in each
of the three great rallwav districts In
which the country is divided
SI 0,000,000 et Incrraar.
In the case of the railroads when
comparison is made for the eleven
months ended with Mav. 1914 and 1915.
net increase from operations still is
maintained, the total for the eleven
months' period heinc $10,000,000
Although the . express companies
during the one month of March turned
a nominal deficit in net operating reve
nues into a substantial balance of
three-quarters of a million, for the
nine months period they sustained a
loss of $431,326 in the same item
The reports of the railroads show a
substantial lowering of the cost of
operations This was reduced for the
whole countrv for the single May
month from $1S0.732.414 to $166,947,
929, and during the nine-month period
was reduced Trom $2,032,231,612 to
J1.S58.635.2C6
The figures supplied bv the Depart
ment of Commerce relating to the ex
port trade of the United States show
that it is booming with remarkable
rapiditv. In April, 1914, when there
was no war. our total exports amount
ed to $15S,9C9,703: in April last it ag
gregated $289,037,456 For the ten
months ending with April. 1115. our ex
ports were $2.1S2,697,192 as compared
with $2,015,085,817, and during that
period is included several months w hen
there was practically no foreign trade
with anv of countries at war

FOR PETW0RTH CHURCH
Xew York. July 9 -Almost 400 letter
which Frank Holt, who placed a bomb
in the Capitol at Washington, attacked
J. P. Morgan, planned the destruction of
an ocean liner and Anally ended his own
life in the Mineola, I L. Jail, received In
the nine j ears between the spring: of 1906
and last month, when he left Cornell
University for his summer vacation, are
now in the possession of the New York
police.
They were Included in the Cornell In
structor's effects seized by the Ithaca
police after Holt's arrest and were sent
here at the request of Commissioner
Woods They were received vesterday
afternoon, and Capt. Tunney, of the de
tective department, and Guy Scull, sec
retary to the commissioner, spent several
hours in their perusal. About half had
been examined last night
o bnggpstlon of Violence.
According to information given out bv
the police those of the letters which
were read were something of a disap
pointment. Though they date from a few
weeks after the murder of Mrs Erich
Muenter. wife of a Harvard Instructor,
they contain no reference to that case.
Though former friends of Muenter, who
disappeared immediate! after the kill
ing of his wife, assert that Holt was
none other than the accused Harvard
teacher, even the earliest of the letters,
dated in Julv. 1906, was addressed in the
name of Holt,
In none of the letters has been found
the slightest suggestion that their re
cipient was interested in murder, other
acts of violence or German propaganda.
In the hope of discovering a clew to pos
sible accomplices the police examined the
correspondence of most recent date as
well as that of nine sears ago.
t'orrenpondentii All Men.
Holt preserved few of the envelopes
containing the letters, so It is impossible
to determine where he was when they
were received From the text of a few
which were undated it was evident that
he was in Texas and one apparently
reached him when he was at the Umver
sitv of Oklahoma
None of the letters was from a woman.
Holt'i correspondents appear to have
been chiefly men of a literarv turn of
mind Most of them are In English, but
some were written In French and some
in German
But if his correspondence stamped Holt
as a man of a broad culture, deeply in
terested In the highest forms of litera
ture, a mass of clippings which were In
cluded in his files revealed a man of a
far different character
Attracted by Mnrder.
There arc several hundred newspaper
clippings, including both editorials and
dispatches, all dealing with cases of in
sanlt) or of muider The former seemu
to suggest that Holt feared that his own
mind was giving wav. In his selection
of articles worthv of preservation he
showed no preference for those treating
of wife murd" Reports of all murders

"Folk Will Not Stop Hanging." is the

lines In the collection were:

"French Law the Foe of Innocence."
"Admits Killing Stepson."
"Trio of Murders on Sunday."
"Lord Barrlngton Must Die."

"Mvstery In Man's Murder."

A heading- of special interest to New

3. 1906, and reads:
"Thaw Is Lured to Kill "
The only reference to wife murder is
contained In a Cleveland dispatch to a
Chicago newspaper, dated June 22 (vear
not named), which is headed:
"Loves Another,
Murders Wife."
The dispatch tells of William Brasch,
of Buffalo, and his elopement with an
other woman
An article, the possession of which by
Holt may appear to have significance,
bears the title, "Making Heroes of Mur
derers " It is dated 1906.
Clipping: on Insanity.
Among the clippings was an editorial
from the Record-Herald on "Murder In
Chicago," showing that 187 murders
were committed in the city in a certain
lear and predicts more In the next vear
because "punishments are not adequate
for the crime."
Headings on insanity were:
"Chicago Lunatic at Large "
"Care of the Insane "
"Colony Plan for Mildly Insane."
An editorial In the Chicago Tribune
headed "Dangers of Studv" expressed
the opinion that "too much study may
be even more dangerous than only a
little learning" Holt's father-in-law at
tributed the recent tragic performances
of the former university Instructor to
overwork
A clipping headed "L'nlvesitv News"
from a Norman (Okla ), paper was as
follows.
"Mr. Frank Holt, the new Instructor
in German, is a graduate of the Fort
Worth Polytechnic School and has spent
several years In Germanv. He speaks

GERMANY AGAIN ASKS
CABLE SERVICE TO U. S.
Repeats Request that This Country
Get Consent of England to Its
Restoration.
New York. July 9. "He has answered
very fully and sensibly," said Justice
Hendrick, as Harry Thaw today con
cluded a dramatic recital of the shoot
ing of Stanford White, at the Jury trial
of his sanity.
With the memory of this commendation
to sustain him. Thaw went triumphantly
through the final hour of his ordeal, and
at 2:45 p. m. stepped smilingly from the
stand, having In the two days of his ex
amination sustained with marked suc
cess ten hours of prodding from Deputy
Attorney General Cook.
Thaw, aa well as his advisers, now see
plain sailing ahead. Definite announce
ment was made today that Mrs. Evelyn
Nesblt Thaw Is too ill to attend the trial,
and the reading of her testimony to the
Jury, given at tho White Plains hearing,
was begun, following Thaw's departure
from the stand today. He has stood tho
test, and in all probability the case will
go to the Jury next Tuesday. It It con
fidently expected that by Wednesday he
will be on his way to Pittsburgh a free
man.
Tonight, in charge of Sheriff Max Grif
fenhagen. Thaw, under orders of Justice
Hendrick, took dinner uptown.
Dines Outside Jail.
Upon adjurnment of court this evening,
and following Thaw's visit to the Wal
dorf for dinner on Tuesday night, the
Justice Issued an order directing the
sheriff. If Thaw so desired, to permit him
to dine outside of Ludlow street Jail to
night, tomorrow and Sunday night.
Charges that the State had a woman
lip reader in court reporting whispered
conversations between Thaw- and his
counsel, a reprimand ior John B. Stanch-
neia, wno maae tne cnarge, and a mo
tion on the part of the State that a
mistrial be declared because of Stanch-
field's act, which was denied by the
court, enlivened proceedings after Thaw
left the stand
Thaw's grilling was resumed a few
minutes after 10 o'clock. He took the
stand with a reassuring smile at his
mother and sister. Describing the verdict
of the Jury which acquitted him of the
murder charge, he said:
"I made the plea of self-defense,
but when I found that I could not
enter that plea my counsel changed
it to Insanitv."
Officials here were somewhat sur
prised yesterday to learn that Gottlieb '
von Jagow, German minister of foreign
affairs. In an interview in Berlin hntl
revived the proposal made by Germany
last February that the United States
get the consent of Great Britain to the
restoration of a cable service between
the United States and Germany, on
condition that Germany would pay the
expenses of the work and the United
States would act as qensor of the cable.
This proposad was made to Mi. Ger
ard in February, and transmitted by
falm to Washington. On March & the
State Department sent a copy of
Ambassador Gerard's communication.
without any comment whatever, to the
British Embassy. The British govern
ment never has made any response to
the German communication.
The United States government never
had any part in suggesting this plan.
and did not make any effort to induce
Great Britain to accept it. Officials
here never regarded it as feasible in
any way.
Furthermore, aside from the appar
ent advantage such an arrangement
would appear to be to the Interests of
this government, many officials felt
that It would be unwise for this gov
ernment to have anything1 to do with
the matter. It was pointed out that in
dorsement of the plan might later
bring embarrassing consequences. One
possible result suggested was that once
a cereorship were established on a j
cablr to Germany, the German govern
ment then would demand that cables
to England and France be censored I
likewise by the United States. An-1
other possibility was that the Germans
would thus create a precedent against
the cutting of cables in time of war. a
privilege which the United States has
taken advantage of most freely when
it has been a belligerent.

"I'd like to tell the jur," began the

"Answer the question." said the court.
Thaw explained that he had been in

much faith In the slory he went pre

Tells of Miootlnjc.
At the mention of White's name the
Jurors stiffened up and the spectators
bent forward. Thaw was perfectly calm.
He hesitated an Instant and then con
tinued: "He was sitting with his head resting
on his hand and staring at me. When
he saw me looking at him his hand
dropped to his face and it seemed to
me he was reaching toward his pocket.
I don't know his motive. I'm simply
telling the fact. I walked straight up
to him and shot him."
The last words were almost whis
pered. There was no passion, no venom,
malice or hatred. Thaw glanced curi
ously abouttho court room and con
tinuing said?
"I turned around and saw that the
people were Jostling one another and
pushing back from me. Holding the
revolver so that all could see it, I
turned slowly about, hoping to lessen
the excitement. I knew It w'as a great
drop from the edge to the street be
low and I feared they'd push back and
go over the edge.
"I walked toward the stage, and
when I got near the end of the aisle,
one or two sensible looking men ap
proached me. and to one of them I gava
the pistol."

silent, apparently In deep meditation.
