NEW YORK. Sept. 21. Mrs. Burton
W. Gibson, wife of the attorney ac
cused of murdering Countess Rosa
Menschik Szabo, today took full charge
of her husband’s defense. Every move
made by his counsel, Attorneys Elder
and Goldzier, will hereafter be directed
by her.
Her first step today was so begin a
search for witnesses who may bo able
to assist her husband. She is confident
that he will be acquitted, despite i re
port that District Attorney Rogers, of
Orange county, has found new wit-
who will swear that when the
body of Countess Szabo was taken from
Greenwood lake it bore a black and
blue bruise on the left cheek near the
chin, and that the bruise appeared to
them as though made by a blow.
Saw Bruise on Cheek
Os Dead Countess.
The new wftnessi s are Mrs. .1. J.
Rochetti, of 397 Hillside -iv-nue. West
bury. N. J., and her daughter Isabella.
They were at the little lake about a
week after Countess Szabo went for
her last boating trip with Burton Gib

Goshen jail, charged with her murder
On the day the body ..as found they
were along the shore.
"We were but a few steps from the
boat .that brought in the body," Mrs
Rodieiii was 'iiioic-i today as a; in?
“I saw it very distinctly, and one of tin
first things I noticed was what ap
peared to me to be a bruise on the
left cheek, near the chin.
"After looking at it a moment. I
called the attention of my daughter to
it.
"The mark was made by a heavy
blow, I am sure, for when Dr. Walhaus
er started to wash the face he asked
for a towel, and I stepped closer and
got a better look, which only con
firmed iny former impn- sions."
MADERO DENIES U. S.
MILLIONAIRES AIDED
FIGHT AGAINST DIAZ
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21. Following an
official denial by the Mexican govern
ment that several rich Americans, In
cluding C. P. Taft, financed the Madero
revolution, issued through Ernesto Made
ro, minister of finance, it was intimated
today that the I’nited States authori
ties would be asked to arrest Juan P.
Diddap. author of the story, and hold him
for extradition to Mexico.
Diddap. who is the revolutionary emis
sary in the I'nited States, has made the
charge several times that Henry Clay
Pierce, the millioi >re oil man and
Charles P. Taft, who is a brother of
President Taft, and agents of the Har
riman railroad system, furnished $5,000,-
000 to Francisco Madero.
“That is an unqualified lie.” was the
emphatic statement of Ernesto Madero
"It is absurd, as well as malicious and
untrue. This is not the first time Senor
Diddap has circulated that slander, and
it is a slander upon the patriotic men
who fought for the country, as w ■ II as
upon my brother. There is ground for a
libel suit against Diddap by either Mr.
Taft or Mr Pierce, for both are innocent
of furnishing any money or influence to
the revolutionary cause.”

Manufacturers To Be Given
Three Notices, Then Courts
Will Be Appealed To.
The campaign to eliminate the smoke
nuisance in Atlanta will be carried right
to the big railroads, according to re
form T>lans outlined by A. C. Harwell,
chairman of the smoke board, which
has decided tn wage a vigorous sigh:
after being under criticism for t 11
days.
Mr. Harwell declared today that'll?
had called a meeting of the commission
for Monday and that he would then in
troduce a resolution requiring that the
railroads conform with the city regula
tions by October 15.
Many Complaints
Os R. R. Nuisance.
Black, sooty smoke at the I’nlon sta
tion has caused innumerable complaints
and tin- board Is determined to bring
about a change. If the railroads inter
ested do not act within the specified
time action will he brought against
them in the recorder’s court and a host
of Atlantans who suffer from the
nuisance summoned as witnesses.
Mr. Hai well’s resolution Monday will
instruct Inspector McMichael to at
once issue notices to those manufac
turers w ho are physically able to com
ply with the new law, but are violating
its provisions. Three notices will be
issued at Intervals of ten days and if
the ordinance is not then being obeyed
the courts will be appealed to.
Inspector McMichael w ill be instruct
ed to bring eases in th ■ recorder’- court
and the city will fight for convictions.
The Harwell resolution may arouse
some opposition in the board, but In
view of the widespread clamor for ac
tion it is likely to pass. The boaid’s
seeming stand against reform aroused
a storm of protest and threats to abol
ish It have b. on made if it continues to
stand in the way of action.
The first criticism was caused by the
board’s move in modifying the ordi
nance adopted by council. On Monday
t'liairman Harwell will move that this
action be rescinded.
