before the senate committee on inier

In addition to the general opposition

IN DEATH HOUSE
Absolute Silence Follows Re
ceipt of Information That
New Trial is Denied Gunmen.
Osaining, N. Y.—A quarter of an
hour before the news of Justice Goff's
adverse decision was flushed to tlie

chatting freely with Rabbi Mayer Kof

men.
”1 am sorry, boys,” he said. “Again
I am the bad news."
Absolute silence followed.
"Go Ahead.”
"Well, go ahead; we can stand It.”
said one of the condemned men after
a pause. The men asked the warden
tor the grounds on which Justice Goff
had based his refusal, hut were told
they would have to wait until morn
ing.
After a twenty-minute visit with the |
gunmen, the warden came out with a
statement from "Hefty Dottle."
"We again ask Governor Glynn. In
all fairness," It read, “to grant us a
reprieve pending the trial of I.lenten

110 RESPITE BY
00USLYI1
N. Y. Executive Believes Gun
men’s Case Should Rest En
tirely With Court. Declines
Comment.
Albany, N. Y.— Governor Glynn de
clined to make any statement con
cerning his future course in the gun
men’s case or to comment in any way
upon Justice Goffs decision.
Earlier In the day the governor had
forecasted his attitude by saying he
believed the case should rest entirely
in the hands of the court.
The governor displayed the keenest
interest in the hearing today. He kept
in touch with the different steps
through local and New York sources,
digesting eagerly every new phase qf
[tlie testimony as it was presented.
Asked If he would have anything to
say about the decision when the full
text was received, the governor said
he probably would not. This was taken
to indicate that the last hope for the
gfimnen had passed and they must die
Monday.
Went to Sing Sing.
Albany, N. Y —Superintendent Ri
ley, of the state prison department,
said that, in his opinion, the governor
would not grunt a respite. This decla
ration followed a long conference be
tween the governor and Mr. Riley
after Mr. Riley had returned .from
Sing Sing prison. Although neither
the governor nor Mr Riley would ad
mit It, the general Impression pre
vailed around the capltol that Mr. Ri
ley had been detailed by the governor
to talk to "Dago Frank” Ciroflct, who
lias maintained he has an alibi.
Only a Reiteration.
Mr. Riley brought with him a state
ment from "Dago Frank” and placed
it in the hands of the governor. As
soon as this became known there were
repeated rumors that one of the gun
men hud confessed. These Mr. Riley*
set at rest by asserting that the state
ment whs only a reiteration of t’iro
ftci's allegations concerning hi* where
about* on the night of the shooting
The governor declined to make pub
lic the contents of the statement, de
claring that it was "not worth any
thing.”
In order to be prepared for the at
testing of a reprieve in the event of
the governor’s dechttn gto grant one
at any hour, the office of the secre
tary of state, which usually closes at
noon on Saturdays, was kept open
this afternoon and tonight. The gov

Have Not Been Together Since
Madero Revolution. Strong
Pressure Has Been Pouring
in on Constitutionalist Chief
From Washington
El Paso, Tex. —Much improvement
in the foreign relations of the Con
stitutionalist provision government of
northern Mexico, it is predicted, will
result from the meeting promised at
Chihuahua next wqek between Gen
Venustlano Carranza and Gen. Fran
cisco Villa.
Representations of the most vigor
ous nature have been pouring in on
General Carranza from Washington
since the expulsion of the Spaniards
from Torreon. Carranza, it is said,
has made no direct replies to several
of these representations and today It
was said that the state department in
sisted that definite written replies be
returned. The question involved deals
with the expulsion of Spaniards, the
eonfiseation of property and the right
of |he United States to deal directly
with Carranza in behalf of other na
tions.
Greatly Handicapped.
Carranza has been handicapped re
cently in dealing with both foreign
and domestic affairs by the disorder'd
condition at Torreon as the natural
result of two weeks of severe fight
ing. and the fact that his knowledge
of affairs in the south must cotne by
telegraph.
A heart-to-heart talk between him
self and Villa, therefore, It is said. Is
looked on with high hope by other
leaders. The two have not met since
the Madero revolution, and since that
time Villa has risen from the crude
leader of a small band to the com
mand of an army, and all accounts
from the front agree that he has
broadened and grown under increased
responsibilities.
Satisfactory Assurances.
After the interview' it is predicted
that Carranza will be able to render
to Washington assurances satisfactory
to both sides.
General Carranza, his staff and the
personnel of the executive offices left
Juarez today for Chlhuahuu. Next
Monday George C. Carothers, special
agent of the state department, will
follow him.

TENSENESS
RELIEVED
BV PROMPT
ACTION OE
HUERTA
Necessary Redress For Affront
in Arrest of American Marines
at Tampico Afforded. Proper
Punishment For Guilty Parties
Waahington, D. C.— The tense situa
tion created here by the arrest of /fin
er! can marines by Mexican authorities
at Tampulco was greatly rel eved today
with the receipt of General Huerta’s
prompt repudiation and apology for til©
action, forwarded from the Cty of Mex
ico by Charge O’Shaughnessy. While
no definite statement wa« obtainable n
official circles, it was Intimated that
the necessary redress for the affront
had been afforded.
Reportng developments to the navy
department, Rear-Admiral Mayo in com
mand of the American naval force at
Tampico, cabled that he had demanded
that the Mexican commander salute tlie
American flag in expiation of the af
front In his message he had given
the Melxcan oficer twenty-four hours
from 6 o’clock Friday evening to coinpiy.
No further message had come from Ad
miral Mayo when the department
closed tonight.
Admiral Mayo's report was forwarded
to President Wilson at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va.
Full and Frank.
Officials at the siate and navy de
partments considered iluerui s state
ment full and frank. It promised un
(mediate investigation of Colonel Hino
josa’s action In arrest,ng the marines
and parading them publicly througn the
streets ami that pvoper punishment
would be Inflicted upon the responsible
official.
Gneral Huerta's good faith was ac
cepted, apparently Without reservation,
and it was punted out that it was but
lair to await the result of the promised
investigation.
The navy department, it whs said, has
Issued no instruct ons to Roar-Admiral
Mayo directing either the withdrawal V.’
enforcement of his demand for a salute.
Officials here are disposed to rely oil
that officer's d.Bcretlon and are certain
he has been informed of the unqualified
terms of General Huerta’s explanation.
Doubt Expressed.
Some doubt was expressed as to
whether the salute could be demanded
for what was termed an "irrensponsl*
ble act” by a subordinate officer, es
pecially 111 view 01 the i rompt apology
from Huerta. One official, an author
ity on naval precedents, said lie knew
of no instance In wh.ch a salute had
been given the American colors In like
circumstances. This officer, delving into
archives for a precedent, found nothing
more c.osely resembling the Tampico
case Ilian a civil war Incident in which
a British man-of-war enforced a salute
from a Confederate shore battery and
then declined to return the courtesy for
fear such action would be construed as
recognition of the Confederacy.
Nothing Definite.
Other Mexican reports wt*e merger.
There was nothing definite concerning
the Torreon situation. Secretary Bry
an said he felt the outlook for the
safety of foreign 0.l properdes at Tam
pico was improved in consequence of
thrice repeated demands to contestants
there. He said no foreign governments
had made representations In behalf of
the interests of their nationals at Tam
pico.
New representations from the Spanish
foreign office through Ambassador Wil
lard at Madrid, asking assistance for
exiled Spaniards at El Paso, brought
forth the comment that everything pos
sblle is being done.
Press Spaniards' Claims.
Secretary' Brytgh indicated that he
would continue to press the claims of
the Spaniards without abatement.
A belated report to the navy depart
ment from Rear-Admiral Howard at
Acapulco, sent Thursday night, said all
was quiet at that port, towards whicn
tlie Zapatistas are moving.
Constitutionalist headquarters here in
a statement tonight defended tlie expul
sion of certain Spanish residents of
Mexico as an act in accordance with
the Mexican constitution and supported
by international law. The deportations
were ordered, the statement says, to
"prevent them from the people who
might, under present peculiar conditions,
commit acts of violence against them.”
Leaned Towards Huerta.
The statement insists, however, that
not all Spanish residents of the district
Involved were expelled, the order apply
ing only to those who constitutional
ists authorities had reason to believe
were In league with the Federals.
Since Spain had full knowledge of the
terms of the Mexican constitution in
this regard, the statement argues, when
her c tlzens settled In Mexico," "th:*
government cannot now set up the plea
that they have been dealt with in an un
lawful manner."
The statement repudiated reports
from Mexican Federal sources that Vila
and h‘s men are bottled up In Torreon.
It declares that 1.3h0 Federal soldiers
descried to the Constitutionalist nrmv
in the Son Pedro battle which ended
Thursday, "with a complete victory for
Villa’s troops."
Nothing Heard From the
Yacht With Lind Aboard
Washington.—The presidential yacht
Mavflower. bearing John Lind to
Washington from Vera Cruz, has not
reported to the navy department since
clearing the Mexican port Monday or
Tuesday.
Secretary Bryan, who plans to leave
Tuesdav night for Florida, said he ex
pected to confer with Mr. Lind before
starting south.
