I V Chicago,—More impasloned letters addresesd to Mrs. Catherine Dean and alleged to have been written by William Rapp, who is being sued for divorce by Mme. Schumann-Heinkk, the famous contralto, were introduced in Judge Sullivan's court today. There was a bit of comedy between Ilia lines. Under date of August 1, 1913, the writer said: "X wrote you Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday I did not write as I had conferences all day till late at night. Tuesday and Wednesday I wrote. Yesterday I wait ed all day for a letter from you and I was discouraged at not hearing from you.” The reason the writer did not hear from Mrs. Dean was In the court in the person of Miss Ashton, a nurse employed as a detective by counsel for Mme. Schumann-Heink. She testified she roomed with Mrs. Dean from time to time during 1913, and Inter cepted a number of letters. Ren M. Smith, chief counsel for the defendant, declared that he would ren ter his defense on the allegation that the singer was not a resident of Illi nois and therefore not entitled to sue for divorce In the Illinois courts. He added that he would prove Rapps' counter-charge of Infidelity against the songstress.

The Other two members of the sub-commit tee, representatives Webb and Fitz- Henry, of Illinois, today absoluhelv declined to state their positions, say ing no conclusion had been reached.

Million* of Round*. As the Antllla a Cuban ship, laden with millions of rounds oT ammuni tion for the constitutionalists is en route to Tampico and should reach there in another 48 hours, a teat case of Huerta’s right to blockade ports held by the constitutionalists is at hand. The American government several weeks ago ordered Rear Ad miral Badger to keep Tampico open to commerce. Whether that order in cluded Che right of foreign govern ments to ship arms and contraband of war waa the partlcplar point on which the Huerta delegate* have sought information. Disagreement. A disagreement over the right of the Huerta government to blockade Tamidco, it is generally realized, might easily lead to a disruption of the proceedings. The embarrassing feature to the United States, lies In the fact that, not having recognized the Huerta government, it cannot concede that. Huerta is entitled to engage In an act Involving Interna tional law. Intense Interest. Along wltfh the Antilla Incident the mediation colony was intensely inter ested in what General Carranza might have to say on his arrival at Saltillo. It I* genedally understood that either today or tomorrow he will send In structions to Rafael Zubaran, his special representative in Washington, answering the la*t communication from the mediator*. Is Not Known. Whether the constitutionalist* will come into the negotiations on the terms fixed by the mediators—the declaration of an armistice and an arrangement to discuss internal ns well an International questions—ls not known to any of the principals (here. Informal and unofficial expressions from Washington, however, to the ef fect that Carranza might be willing to discuss aspects of the internal problem but would refuse to grant an armistice, at least immediately, is known accurately to represent the constitutionalist*’ leaders idea*. There is a possibility of a middle ground being reached on those points but until the mediator* know more oT the purpose* of the constitutionalists' plans for their participation neces sarily are held In abeyance.

The death early this morning of Mr. MacPhereon Berrien Williams, promi nent in the printing and stationery business of this city, came almost as a complete shock to his many friends here. lie had been in ill health for a week or more, but no one was alarmed over his condition until Saturday, when he was moved from his home to the Mar garet. Wright hospital, where a sur gical operation was performed, Sat urday night ho lay In a critical condi tion after the operation, but, accord ing to his physician, was holding his own fairly well. Sunday afternoon bis condition grew worse and by midnight it was known that he would hardly recover. Ho gradually sank till 2:30 n. m. when his life peacefully and calmly left. Mr. Williams is survived by his wife, who was Miss Alice Carmichael; two daughters, Alice Bishop, 11, and Julia, 6 years of age, and a son, MnePhtTson llerrien, Jr.. 8 years of ago. He leaves also two sisters, Mrs, Bishop Alexan der, who was out of the city at the time of his death, and Mrs. John Har per Davidson. Mr. Williams was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Williams. He was a grandson of the late Joslah Sibley, his mother being Miss Alice Sibley prior to her marriage. The deceased was one of the best known and most highly esteemed citi zens of Augusta. He was a splendid business man and a popular gentle man. His death Is mourned iiy nu merous friends not only here but everywhere he is known. For many years Mr. Williams was in the stationery business In Augusta. Up to about twelve years ago ho was In a partnership in the wholesale line. Since he conducted his own business be has made many warm friends by bis square business relations, prompt and courteous attention to business matters. Personally lie was held in the highest regard.

It was officially stated that the Mexican government in ordering the blockade of Tnmplco had no in tention of interfering with commer cial traffic. Its intention was only to prevent the constitutionalists from receiving arms and ammunition. Unofficial. Washington, D. C.—Unofficial In formation has been received here that Gen. Huerta has countermanded his order for the blockade of Tampico. There were no direct advices to this government but from sources which have been In close touch with Mexi can developments Information come which was regarded as reliable. There were no early advises from Rear Ad miral Badger whatever. Good Grounds. The unofficial reports which reach ed Washington, however were of such a character that there seemed to be good ground for believing that the dic tator had determined after alt, not to blockade Tampico In the face of Preai dont Wilson’s determination that it should be kept open to the commerce of the world and thereby force the band of the United States again with the possibility of disrupting the rnedi tlon proceedings at Niagara Falls. Unless Huerta changes his mind again what promised to he another crisis seems to have passed over. Were Silent. While all officials nere preserved a significant silence on what would be the action of Rear Admiral Mayo at Tampico if the Mexican gunboats Bra vo and Zaragosa should attempt to interfere with he liner Antllla, bearing a war cargo for the constitutionalists. It was pointed out that the orders to keep Tampico an open port had not be changed. From all outward appear ance* the American warships lying at the mouth of the river were prepared to enforce them. No Report, The Z.aragosa and Bravo should have arrived at Tampico about 5 o'clock this morning. Followed by the United Whites ships Sacramento and Tacoma they passed Vera Cruz yesterday. In the absence of any new report today Secretary Daniels wired Rear Admiral Badger for a ro port of their position. The possi bility that Huerta’s decision not to blockade the port may have diverted them, was taken Into the reckoning here but that was considered doubtful as the Mexican ships have very inef ficient wireless. 1 /3M/X |hf 7 //iyilsU A g f \V . f -%wV jarA To The Voters and Business Men o( Augusta: Are you going to back up the very Important steps taken by the Au gusta Bor Iri obtaining for Augusta a Munlclpsl Court, and thereby abolish ing the so-called "Justice” Courts?

PANIC Broad Street Thrown Into Ctati fusicn Today by Wild Beast at Large. Pandemonium was created on Broad Street about noon today when the news went abroad that there was a lion at large in town. Hurrying women were seen taking elevators and street, cars. Everybody was asking everybody else what the meaning of the rumor was. Was I here a lion In town to escape? Whose lion? Hut nobody wanted to take any chances ami soon the street was de serted. People stayed In the stores, whence you could see them peeping out of the windows. It was 1 o'clock before they began to emerge once more, and to feel re assured by the rumor that the lion had been re-cnntured. What actually happened, to cause all the excitement, was the tempo rary eecaie of one of the Ilona who will appear in Wednesday night’s Vaudeville, when Madame Elsie da Fey will show lor the first time be fore the Augusta public with her fa mous trouj) of performing lions. One of these lions this morning at 11:30 decided that It was too hot for him possibly to appear. He was re-cap tured about 1 o'clock by the combined of ort. of the Committee, with the in ducement of more money. But for a while the public was thrown into a nasty panic.
