Attorney Cohn expects that he will head a delegation of the prop erty owners of that section of the city, who object to the proposed new Pave ment. Attorney Cohn said today: "The present pavement in William - street is good enough - and We tax payers in , that vicinity can' sea no reason why we should be saddled with this extra expense.

I. I figured that I Nmight stumble and that he would cut me into shreds. When I tripped over the pick handle I naturally picked it up to defend myself. He. was right upon me and when he made a slash at me I struck him with the pick. I struck him three times, where I struck him I don't know, but I know he went down., I never really intended to kill the man, I did it to. save myself from being cut to pieces wjth the. razor." Thus spoke Christopher Reilly, 31, a resident of Fairfield before Coroner John J. Phelan this morning N during the inquest into the death of rflenry O.

According to Jones and Reilly, Lucas pulled a razor and threatened to weut up those present. Anderson says that be did no.t see the razor. Mystery surrounds this part of the developments. Reilly states that he did' not have a word with Lucas, in which fact he is corroborated by Jones, but nevertheless he was the man at whom the attack was directed. When the harm had been completed both Reilly and Jones searched for the razor, and finding it, Jones was sur prised to discover that it was his property. . To Coroner Phelan this morning he explained that the razor was his, that it was under his bunk Saturday afternoon Jut that) when he looked under the bunk after the killing the razor was not there.

Aug. 11 The , brief state ment given out by Governor Sulzer, last night, after a protracted confer ence in which he denies having spec ulated in Wall street but admits hav ing made temporary personal use of some of the campaign contributions, has stimulated curiosity as to what attitude the governor will take, to ward the threatened impeachment pro ceedings which . are expected to 'be instituted as a . result of the Fraw ley legislative committee's prelimin ary report to the legislature, tonight. In view of the governor's contention that the present legislature has ceas ed . to exist, the opinion is expressed by 'some of his supporters that an effort will be made to block! the pro gram of his opponents through . some legal process. Attorney General Car mody recently rendered an opinion thai the legislature is still in session. It is pointed out that if the gover nor's' attorneys prdcure cognizance -of this matter by any Judicial tribunal, whatever the finding of such tribunal might be, the result would to start the case on its way to the court of ap peals and as the Judges of this court also , are made, by the constitution,' an essential part of the court of impeach ment, it would Be impracticable for them Nto act in this latter capacity un . til the Judicial proceedings were finally settled.

The Fairfield authorities are Inclined to believe that Jones and Reilly bet tore the arrival of the, sheriff -and the physicians trumped .'up .a story in which they claimed that they were at tacked by Lucas with a razor.

President Wilson's personal en voy, say ample precautions were tak en by the - Mexican government ' to guard against any demonstration. Mr. and Mrs. Lind went to a hotel because the American Embassy was only part ly furnished. The gunboat Nashville- at Norfolk navy yard probably will soon follow the Tacoma, ordered . last night 1 to Vera Cruz. The. navy ,is almost de pleted of the mosquito craft because they have, been loaned to naval mili tia. They are highly desirable in the present ' situation because their light draft permits their entry to most Mex ican harbors. The big battleships now there have been unable to approach nearer than 12 miles to some ports. Former Ambassador Wilson called upon Secretary Bryan,, today, to say gocd-bye. Mexico City, ' Aug. 11 The arrival of John Lind, the man- whose n.y sterious mission to Mexico was the direct cause of a public manifestation, yesterday, in support of General Huerta's ' attitude toward ' American mediation, has of itself been devoid of any thrills. : When Mr. Lind, as the personal representative of Presi dent Wilson, alighted from his train, last night, after a tedious Journey, yesterday, from Vera Cruz, there were only a few persons about the station who seemed at all curious to watch his movements. Numerous newspaper photographers were on hand to sub ject him to the ordeal of flashlights, and Mr. Lind V obligingly posed for many pictures. : . v - .' Mr. Lind persistently maintained the reticence he has observed care fully since he . was summoned from his home in Minnesota by President Wilson to undertake hla mission to Mexico. - Just what he is to do here or Just when he will begin the nego tiations for which he has come are as great a mystery as before his arrival. He was accompanied to the capital by Mrs.- Lind, by-William W. Canada, the United States consul at Vera Cruz and by Dr. William, . Bayard Hale, " acting under instructions of the state depart ment. The party- was.; received by Nelson O'Shaughnesay, secretary of the:P;nitedwtates: embsasywho. has been acting as charge d'ajf aires, since the resignation of Ambassador Wil son, and Charles E. .Parker, .a mem ber of the embassy staff. -..' Police in large numbers guarded the approach to the station but as the party was driven off -to a hotel where reservations had been made, the pub lic generally assumed an apathetic attitude and took little' interest in the arrivals. - -' - ' . .-'' Reporters of a number of Mexican papers endeavored to' interview, Mr. Lind at his hotel but they met with little success. . ". , - ' Mr. Lind, thus far, had a compara tively1 uneventful experience . in Mexi co. Before leaving Vera Cruz, he was visited by General Gustavo Maas, the military commander there. - The meet ing took place at the train, Just be fore Mr. Lind's departure and General Maas also did him the honor to pa rade a small detachment of 1 troops alongside his train. The monotony . of the trip in the regular day train from Vera Cruz to the capital was broken by an en-forced dejay by the wreck of a train ahead in "a region which has been the scene of rebel operations. "" Mr. Lind said here he did not have the slightest Intention of discussing Mexican affairs with . private individ uals. He said his business was with official Mexico and that he would be very careful with . whom he talked. There need be no ' apprehension, he added, that -he would embarrass the government by any indiscretions of that sort. i . There, is reason to believe that be fore Mr. Lind's mission to Mexico Is ended he will have suggested more than a mere fulfillment of the prom- fise by General Huerta that elections be held. It has been pointed out that such a demand would not be wholly consistent since the promise to hold elections -in October has already been made and intimations of bad faith on the part of the provisional - adminis tration are regarded as out of taste at the present time. Mr. Lind does not propose to act hastily, though he will lose jio time, and it may be that ill his work In Mexico will be finished within three weeks. If General Huer ta continues unwilling to see him, Mr. Lind will transmit his communica tions through Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge d'affaires of the American em bassy. . - , Mr. Lind and his wife did not come to Mexico prepared for anything be yond a brief visit, traveling with little baggage. The departure for Mexico was so hurried that It occurred tg neither Mr. nor Mrs. Lind that warm er clothing' would be wanted in the uplands of Mexico. Last night, Mr. Lind, without an ' overcoat, and his wife, without wraps, shivered in the cold open air here. PRESIDENT SAYS NO OCCASION FOR ALARM IN MEXICO Washington, Aug. 11 President Wil son let it become known today that he was inclined to believe there was an organized desire proceeding from sources unknown to bring on a war between the United States and Mexico The President does not regard the movement as extensive but as very troublesome and referred to misrepre sentations is some individual newspa pers.

Bishop McFaul's solution foH this is: "1 Let Catholic schools remain as they. are. "2 Let no compensation be made for religious mstruction. Our principle is let the pastor take care of the flock and Jive by the flock.

New Tork, Aug. 11 Instead of pre senting arms when ordered to do so, the military escort to the body of Tancredo Auguste, late president of Hayti, aimed their rifles at the casket and riddled it with bullets, according to Marfield Kemp, of Lexington, Ind., a young engineer employed by the National Railroad of Hayti, who reached here, from Port Au .
