DEMAND OF KAISER OfMITED STATES IS VERY EMPHATIC Germany Insists on Protection of Her Subjects

in Mexico. i WILSON IS RECALLED American Ambassador to Be Consulted on Mexican Situation. (National New Association) . WASHINGTON, July 16. Ambassador Wilson today was summoned to Washington from Mexico City to confer with President Wilson on the situation in Mexico. The Mexican situation has become so grave that both the President and Secretary of State Bryan deem a personal conference with Ambassador Wilson necessary. Secretary Bryan stated today that all of his lecture engagements were made subject to cancellation and if official business required his presence in Washington he would forgo the entire six weeks trip he has planned. GERMANY MAKES DEMAND. WASHINGTON, July 16. The summoning of Ambassador Wilson to discuss; the Mexican situation, it was stated at the White House today, was the direct result of formal demand by Germany that the United States take immediate steps to quiet the disturbances south of the Rio Grande. German, it was learned today, has filed a -note, drafted by . Count Von Heimhausen, counselor of the German embassy, demanding that the United .States do something to protect foreigners in Mexico. The German foreign office does not care whether the administration recognizes the Heurta government or whether , the United States actively intervenes in Mexico. The Monroe Doctrine. It was stated, in the most emphatic terms, that Germany merely demands protection for her subjects and their property and that it is the duty' of the United States to provide this protection in-as-much as the Monroe doctrine prohibits European nations .from landing troops on the western hemisphere. It is believed here that Germany's note is only the first of a series of other diplomatic utterances from Europe, notes which will either embroil United States with Mexico or jeopardize the vitality of the Monroe Doctrine. The administration is frankly alarmed at the latest developments in the Mexican question and with, the seriousness of the problem now 'presented. Ambassador Wilson has therefore i been sent for to discuss whether it would be better to renounce the administration's Mexican policy and recognize President Huerta or to intervene south of the border. Ambassador Wilson is expected Saturday and upon this conference will depend whether the United States is to be plunged into war with Mexico or whether it will continue its present policy at the risk of offending all European nations. ,r Following an early conference today with the President, Secretary Bryan issued the following statement: "Ambagsador Wilson has been asked to come to Washington to confer personally with the President regarding the situation in Mexico. During his absence the embassy will be left in j charge of First Secretary O'Shaughnessy. : "I do not know whether matters in Mexico are serious or not," said Senator Bacon of Georgia, chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs. "Ambassador Wilson was asked to return to Washington to talk matters over with the administration." The United States not only has a strong force of troops on the Mexican border at the present time but three battle ships of large size, the Minne sota, North Carolina and New Hampshire are now on the Atlantic coast of Mexico. There are now approximately 16,000 American-troops on the Mexican border, 12,000 near Galveston and the United States could rush at least 20,j000 more into the turbulent republic if necessary.

INSTITUTE SEARCH TO FINDMURDERER Hotel Engineer Is Charged With Killing Mrs. Anna Gray. (National News Association) EVANSVILLE, July 16. Officers

tsSKeje today searching for Will SpringU J 56, who shot and instantly killed

Mrs. Anna Gray, 35, on the porch at the woman's boarding place shortly before midnight. According to Clara Arnold, the 14-year-old daughter of the woman. Springer, who is a widower with several children wanted Mrs. Gray to become his housekeeper and called on her last evening in an effort to receive her consent. They were seated on the porch when Mrs. Gray started to enter the house. Springer grabbed her by the arm, placed a pistol to her heart and fired three times. The girl was a witness to the crime. Springer was engineer at the Vendome hotel. Mrs. Gray had been twice married and was separated from her second husband. She had expressed fear that Springer would kill her. ED MOORE SKIPPED WITH HIS PLUNDER IS COMMON BELIEF Made Careful Plans For His Getaway, It Has Been Discovered. NOT THOUGHT INSANE That J. Ed Moore, missing real estate agent, carefully planned . hfs alleged fraudulent transactions and arranged for his disappearance from Richmond with the bulk of the money he secured, is the belief of attorneys interested in the case. Those who were intimate with him prior to the time. he. left say that all his previous actions tend to strengthen and compel this belief. The opinion of some that he lost his alleged loot in the stock market is scouted by them. Credence is given this opinion because of facts which have just developed. It has been learned that Moore left his keys at his home, a; thing" he never did before to the knowledge of business associates. He always carried them on his belt. Other similar, though minor, facts in connection with his disappearance substantiate the report. Moore is supposed to have practically all the money which he is alleged to have obtained through illegal business deals. He is also said to have converted all of his personal property and real estate into as much cash as possible. He realized heavily from the alleged selline of illegal first mortgages to different persons, besides his sales of fraudulent loan notes to Julius Melli and others. Not Believed insane. Some attorneys in the case declare they do not believe Moore's mind was temporarily deranged because of business difficulties. Attorney Lindemuth who is representing Mrs. Moore has left for Petoskey, Michigan, accompanied by Mrs. Lindemuth, to be gone three weeks on his vacation. It is probable because of his absence that no legal action will be begun in the courts until his return. Moore has been heard from only once since he left and that time was through a statement mailed from northern Indiana to the county recorder here. The statement gave a power of attorney to 'Mr. Lindemuth. It will not be used. It is the supposition of persons in Richmond who were Moore's victims that he has gone to Canada with no intention of returning. O. B. Bulghum who was appointed receiver for the estate of Mr. Moore has retained Shively and Shively as his attorneys. He is making arrangements to keep the estate intact, collect outstanding accounts and contest ! any suits which are filed by persons jwho claim that Moore is indebted to j them. No further legal action against Moore has been taken other than the : suits of John Beckman, filed last week. A CASE POSTPONED John Henry Lewis, colored, who beat his wife at the Marshallette hotel yesterday, pleaded not guilty to assult and battery in police court this morning. He will be tried next Tuesday. A SUBSCRIPTION FROM BOHEMIAN Starting with this afternoon's issue, a copy of the Palladium will be sent daily to a little town at the foot of the Moravian Hills in Bohemia, now a province of Austria-Hungary. A post card was received today from Antoine Lukavsky, of Pilgram. Bohemia, Austria, asking that a sample copy of the Palladium be sent him. The request follows: "The Newspaper, Sun-Telegram, Richmond. Indiana, U. S. A.: ' "I beg you kindly to send me a specimen number of your newspaper and to let me know the subscription rate for a year. Faithfully Yours. Antoine Lukavsky, Pelhrimov, Pilgram, Bohemia, Austria.

A FUSE BLEW OUT CRIPPLING STREET CAR, SAYS CORONER New Feature of Accident Which Resulted in Death of Mrs. Jones.

CREW IS EXONERATED Car Running 15 Miles An Hour to Make Up Lost Time, It Is Said. No negligence was charged in the verdict filed by Deputy Coroner R. D. L Morrow in the matter of the death of Mrs. A. E. Jones, 62, who died as the result of injuries sustained when struck by a street car at the corner of Eighth and North A streets, June 26. Mrs. Jones was hit by the car while crossing the street after she had failed to hear the warning signal sounded by the motorman of the car because of deafness. The verdict was filed late yesterday afternoon. The car, according to eye witnesses, was being operated at a speed of fifteen miles an hour, at least, the testimony submitted to the deputy coroner shows. The testimony of the motorman and conductor shows that the mechanism of the car was probably defective, as a fuse through which current passed to reverse the motor blew out and the only means of stopping the car was by a hand break, which the motorman resorted to after the blowing of the fuse. Motorman's Testimony. Chester M. Harris, motorman of the car, said he reversed the motor when twenty feet from Mrs. Jones after she had failed to hear the warning bells sounded vigorously by him. "We were about two minutes late because we had to wait at the Eleventh and E streets switch for another car which left Eighth and Main at 4:45 p. m.," testij fled Motorman Harris. "The car was i running at fifteen miles per hour when j I first noticed the woman." ; The testimony of the motorman was j substantiated by Bert Gallinger, conj ductor. The other eye witnesses were i Attorney Joshua Allen, William Chowning and Layton My rick. Allen said the car was going at not less than fifteen miles an hour.Myxicltsaid .he was attracted by the ringing of the bell on the street car, and saw Mrs. I Jones hit by the car. No Damage Suit Filed. Mrs. Jones was injured about the head and three of her ribs were driven into her chest. She complained of pains in her chest but an examination could not be made because of her condition, according to Dr. F. W. Krueger. It is said that the car was being operated at a dangerous speed considering that no air brakes were on the car. It is probable that a suit will be filed. No settlements have been made with the heirs of the decedent by the claim agents of the company. MAYOR NOW WANTS MUNICIPAL GARAGE Says City Departments Will Soon Be Equipped With Automobiles. A municipal garage for Richmond is the latest idea of Mayor Zimmerman who stated yesterday that he is opposed to building a municipal barn be- ; cause he believes the city departments will be entirely equipped with automobiles and motorcycles within a few years. The mayor stated that several councilmen had come to him recently agitating the municipal barn plan. He replied that he is decidedly opposed to this. "I know that it will be several years before we can equip the city with machines," he said, 'but I believe that a municipal barn would still be new by the time we were ready for a municipal garage and we would be forced to remodel or sell it. I will advocate at least one new machine a year for the city." Johnson Preferred Mules. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he favors a police automobile and a new ladder truck for the fire department but does not know which should be purchased first and since the city will not be able to purchase both the same year, it will be a question for the councilmen to decide. Mayor Zimmerman advocated the purchase of a repair truck for the light plant recently but this was opposed by Superintendent Nimrod Johnson, who asked that a mule team be purchased. INDIAN FINED FOR CARRYING A PISTOL Jack Shuyler, the 16-year-old Indian who was arrested yesterday, was fined $5 and costs in police court this morning for carrying concealed weapons. Shuyler escaped from a Canadian Industrial school more than a year ago, and has been in this country since then. The authorities at the school will be notified ot the boy's capture

RICHMOND SECOND CITY IN THE

STA TE IN MOTOR Cars Selling For More Than $3,500 Manufactured Here This Year 1914 Models Ready Soon. With four automobile plants, the Pilot, Westcott, Davis and Wayne Works manufacturing cars selling for more than $3,500,000, Richmond is the Becond city of the state in the motor car industry, Indianapolis leading. Last year more than 3,300 machines were made in the local plants, and the manufacturers stated this morning that the output would more than be doubled next year. Unable To Meet Demand. The Pilot Motor Company has been unable to- mect the-demand, working behind orders all year. Officers of the company say that twice as many orders were turned away as were filled. To meet this demand the company is considering extensive improvements which will make the local plant one of the largest in the state. According to present plans the output next year will exceed $2,000,000 in value. This year's models will be retained and HOWARD HA TES FLA TLY REFUSES Remarkable Young Colored Musician of Richmond Will Enter Conservatory At Boston, Mass. Arrangements have about been completed for Wesley Howard, the remarkable young colored violinist of Richmond, to enter the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston, to take a course of study in the art in which he promises to become, a master. "Howard will probably enter the conservatory ' some time this coming winter," stated Prof. Frederick Hicks, his instructor, today. "I think that institution is the best one for him to enter for it is one of the best in the country and receives colored students on the same footing as white students. I want Wesley to enter the advanced class at the conservatory, so he will continue to study with me this fall and master the compositions required to enter that grade. Will be Easy Task for. Him. "It will be easy for him to learn these compositions for he takes to the most difficult classics like a duck to LOVE AND SUFFRAGE DONT GO TOGETHER (National News Association) LONDON, July 16. Leaders of the Woman's Social and Political Union, the organization of the militant suffragettes, today criticized Inez Milholland, the New York lawyer and suffrage worker for getting married, declaring that it shows a weakening of her adherence to the "Cause." In spite of Miss Milholland's statement that she will still continue active in suffrage work. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Emetine Pankhurst, who is temporarily out of prison because of illness, believes that love and suffrage do not go together. -"Miss Milholland made a great mistake in letting a foolish sentiment get the better of her jndgment," said Miss Pankhurst today. "She came here to help our cause in England and we were just about to make her an active member when she upset all plans by getting married and going away on her honeymoon. We must place patriotism to our sisterhood above such things if we hope to win. n

"... . CAR INDUSTRY some new ones added. The six cylinder car will be featured. Many Improvements. The WeBtcott people expect to increase the number of cars manufactured by half. The 1914 models will be ready for delivery next week. Many improvements have been made which the officers will not divulge until the announcement is made. Record Breaking Year. Plans for taking care of a record breaking year are being made by the Wayne Works, manufacturers of the Richmond. The new models will be built along the lines of the present machines, except that electric lighting systems, starters and accessories will be regular equipment for every car. In addition to the thirties and forties, a large car will be built in a six-forty-eight. This is the first time that sixes have been made a regular part of the company's product. " Light Delivery Truck. A line of light delivery trucks will be added. Announcement of the 1914 models to be put on the market by the Davis company is not ready, but plans are being made to take care of a much larger demand than that of the present year. RAGTIME AND TO STOOP TO IT water. In fact that is the only class of music that he takes any interest in T Ifinpha at rairtlma unH flaVlw reruses to piay at aances ana otner entertainments where popular music is demanded." Prof. Hicks states there is now about $350 in the fund raised by popular subscription to complete the musical education of the colored youth. A few days ago Mrs. William Dudley Foulke sent a contribution of $20 to the fund and St. Paul's Lutheran church gave Howard $20 for a recital at that church"I think there is about enough money in the fund to meet Howard's expenses at the conservatory the first term," his instructor stated, "and I am positive the boy will win a scholarship for his second school year." Following his graduation from the conservatory it is probable Howard will enter high class vaudeville for a time to establish a reputation for himself, and then will engage in concert work.

YNEMEN TIONED IN THE MULHALL CASE;

S WAYNE SAYS HE NEVER RECEIVED LETTER QUOTED "l do not remember." said S. E. Swayne. president of Robinson & Company, when interviewed this afternoon, "that 1 ever reoivHl such a letter from H. E. MiW. Miles and 1 have been acquainted for many years as he manufactures agricultural implement at Racine. Our interests regarding the tariff were similar. He advocated especially low tariff and wanted the tariff on iron, stc-el and leather goods lowered. Two years before Taft was elected h? came to me with a report on this subject. Not since that time have I had anything to say to him regarding the tariff. 1 received numerous letters, similar to the one Mulhall claims Miles wrote to me but do not recall having received that one. "In 190; I had a talk with Watson and sent Miles a letter of introduction to him. previous to the congressional election of 1906. I also had a talk with Ex-Speaker Cannon at Chicago and tried to learn from him why we were not right in asking for a lower tariff. Cannon replied that the Republican party would be defeated if it attempted to chang the tariff at that time. 'It has been the history of every party for the past thirty years,' Cannon remarked, that a tariff reform at such a period resulted in defeat." SECOND ROUMANIAN ARMY OVER BORDER Greeks and Roumanians May Unite and March on Sofia Now. (National Newf Association) . . BUCHAREST, July 16. King Charles of Roumania left today for the Bulgarian frontier to take comand of the Roumanian army of invasion. Although it was announced that the Roumanian army would not march upon Sofia, having entered an agreement with the Bulgarian government on that point, it appears that the announcement was made for stragetie reasons. It is reported that the Roumanian and Greek troops will march upon the Bulgarian capital without aid from the Servians unless armstice negotiations speedily come to a favorable conclusion. These negotiations are now going on at Nish. A second Roumanian army has crossed the Danube into Bulgaria. Crown Prince Ferdinand will command it and King Charles will exercise supreme command over both. It is believed that there are now 100,000 Roumanian soldiers in Bulgaria. MORE TROUBLE IN VIEW. ATHENS. July 16. The whole northern coast of the Aegean sea may be annexed by Greece in consequence of her present ocupation of that strip, following a brilliant campaign against the Bulgarians. Following a meeting of the Greek cabinet today Premier Venizelos admitted that Greece contemplated such action. This would cut off Bulgaria Servia and all Europe with the exception of Greece, from the Aegean littoral and would give Greece 500 miles of additional sea coast. How Greece Wins Out. The Bulgarians took thee Aegean seaboard from the Turks at an enormous cost of human life. Under the original terms Greece was not to occupy any of the coast in the district about Salonika which was to be international property. Greece and Servia may become embroiled if the Hellenes seize the tire Aegtan sea coast as Servia is seeking a commercial outlet for water trade. In fact, the possibility exists that after Bulgaria has been completely beaten to earth territorial disputes may lead Greece and Servia into war. The victor would then stand as the dominant power in the Balkans. WORK OF FILLING LAKE BEGINS SOON County Engineer Mueller, who is In charge of the construction of the Morton Park Lake dam stated today that he thought the dam would be completed to the point where the water could be let in not later than August 10th. He said that the rainy weather had delayed them somewhat, but the work was moving along satisfactorily. Mueller said that after the water started to run into the lake it would take some time to fill, as it would be necessary to keep a small stream running to take care of the sewerage which is emptied Into the river below the dam.

H. E. Miles Alleged to Havo Asked Swayne to Give Watson Help. MANY LETTERS READf More Details in Effort Elect Watson Told to the Senate. to (National News Asoclat!ow WASHINGTON. July 16. Before facing his daily quiz before the Senate lobby investigating committee today. Col. M. N. Mulhall declared that he was too busy to reply to the charges of Richard Barry of New York that he (Mulhall) has demanded $20,000 for the publication of the National Association of Manufacturers' correspondence; that he attempted to sell letters to the American Federation of Labor and that he asked Barry If he did not think the National Association would pay $150,000 for the fifty-seven thousand letters anu documents which Mulhall possessed. Letters were read Into the record today concerning the efforts of the National Association to have a tariff commission created. Mulhall testified that during a conference in June, 190S, with the political managers of former Representative James H Watson of Indiana, it was suggested that former President D. M. Parry of the Manufacturers' Association become active In that state. This Was Frowned On. This suggestion wss frowned upon because Parry "was too well known to the labor people,' said Mr. Mulhall. "Was not Mr. Parry a protege of Senator Beveridge?" asked Senator Nelson. "No, Senator Beveridge publicly acknowledged that he was a protege of Mr. Parry," replied Mulhall. "The National Association of Manufacturers wanted a tariff commission ot which II. E. Miles of Racine, Wisconsin - and Fred - C. Schwedtman should be members," said MulhalL "Miles was the head of the tariff committee of the National Association which was named to come to Washington to lobby for a tariff commission, but he was so radical he was finally driven from the committee." A Letter to Mr. Swayne. Mulhall testified that Miles wrote to S. E. Swayne of Richmond, Indiana, urging him to support Watson, although Miles admitted that, "personally I do not like the man but I would like less to have him succeeded by a man no better in any way and wrong in labor ways." Mr. Schwedtman wrote Mulhall respecting the Watson campaign saying. "If ever I regret not being a millionaire it Is in times like these m hen money could do such a great lot of J good." Mulhall described the conversation I he had with the representatives of the ' i Indiana Manufacturers in which he j said a large fund was needed to put, j Watson across. "I thought about $100.- ' 000 was needed, tut I did not suggest ! so large an amount," said Mulhall. The witness said that be employed union men to try to swing the labor vote to Watson and to spy upon labor activities. Mulhall wrote to Schwedt!man January 19. 1908. that Watson ihad been elected to place Indiana's I candidate for president. Charles W.I j Fairbanks, Jn nomination at the Chi- : cago convention. In the same letter ' j Schwedtman was mentioned as the ( meet ambassador to Brazil under the incoming administration. ! One letter explained by Mulhall ln- ; dicated - that he understood that the ' j annual political expenditures of the Manufacturers association were about j : $40,000. - - ' ! Senator Foraker wanted Mr. Mulhall to see the secretary of the United Building Trades of Cincinnati and report to uim on his chances for re-lee tion as senator. ."I think he was considering running for the presW i dency at that time," added MulhalL WATSON WENT BROKE. So Mulhall and Others Forwarded Him Money, Senate is Told. 1 WASHINGTON. July 16. Around the name of James E. Watson of Indiana clustered the sensational revelations of the Senate lobby hearing yesterday when Col. Mulhall, by word and letter, gave testimony linking the Indianian with the activities of the National Association of Manufacturers. The testimony of Mulhall was descriptive of the efforts made by the National Association of Manufacturers in support of Watson's candidacy for Governor in 190S. He charged that $22y 000 raised through the efforts of the association was expended In the campaign and that he and Capt. Jack K. Gowdy. Watson's campaign manager, worked in conjunction to enlist the support of prominent Indiana labor men and other persons of Influence for the former representative. "During the campaign."
