STEERS HEIFERS COWS -BULLS WASHINGTON. May 30. With the practical admission that the Carranza nots sent to the state department will not bo delivered soon, if at all, some officials here today pointed to the republican national convention as the cause. At the stale department it was strong y intimated that efforts, reemiusly successful, have been made to halt all diplomatic negotiations until aftrr the republican platform has been adopted, because of the probable political effect that would result from a change of the present status. Officers Doubtful. Army officers today were doubtful whether the president is not going to guide himself largely in his attitude toward Mexico by the opposition platform. The belief is growing that after the republican convention, President will consent to a gradual withdrawal of American forces from Mexico. In beat informed quarters, however, the opinion was expressed that the American troops will stay in Mexico until Villa has been captured or killed. Officials, meantime, are deeply interested in a probable conference with Secretary of State Lansing tomorrow by Mexican Ambast-ador Designate Arredondo. It is believed that followLOOKS FOR REVOLT BY CONGO NATIVES NEW YORK. May 30. An uprising in the Congo may result from the war in Europe, according to J. M. Hoffman, a mining engineer, who arrived here today from the Belgian Congo, where he has been locating diamond mines. "The natives have always been taught to regard a white man's life a sacred." said Hoffman, "but now they are being trained as sharp shooters and are being sent to France to help fight the Germans. Particular instructions are given them about picking off officers. The whole outbreak of the natives is being changed and they are ocming to learn that human life among the whites is not held so dear as they had been taught," LAST TRIBUTE IS PAID JAMES HILL ST PAUL, May 30. The great home of James J. Hill overlooking a section of .tjie city was thrown open here today while thousands of persons, employes and friends of the late "impire builder" viewed the dead. The funeral at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon will be marked with simplicity that made "Jim" Hill beloved in the northwest. It will be public. It is expected, however, that only very close friends and business associates will attend.

It was learned today that Arredondo repuested a conference late yesterday with Secretary Lansing but the secretary had left his office.

TO

Inez Provins, a private detective living in Indianapolis, has informed Prosecutor, Will Reller, according to a statement made by him today, that Alfred Underbill of this city sought to induce her to entice out of the state Wllmer Stamer, an aged man, who is prosecuting witness in a criminal action involving fraud in which Underbill is the defendant. This case is now pending in the Henry county court on a change of venue from the Wayne circuit ccurt. The" woman detective has assured Proeecutor Relter that she will appear as a witness against Underhill and promises to tell the jury an amazing story concerning Underbill's alleged conspiracy is silence the man who, it is alleged, was victimized by Underhill in a fraudulent real estate transaction.

Tells Reller Her Story. Inez Provins informed Prosecutor Reller that last week Underhill called upon her In Indianapolis and informed her that he wanted to employ her on a case. The woman says that Underhill represented to her that his name was Clarkson and that he was also a de - tective. He told her that he was work ing on a case involving a Richmond man named Wllmer Stamer and said he needed her assistance. She said Underbill's explanation of the nature or the case was very vague He said he wanted, her to come to Richmond and represent herself to be wealthy and seeking real estate investments.She was to receive $12 a week and all her expenses. The woman accepted the. offer and arrived in Richmond with Underhill late Friday night or last week. Followed Underhill. She says Underhill told her to follow him at a distance of half block. Finally, she says, they arrived at his home in the east end. When she found out that Underhill Hved in the residence she refused to enter it, reminding him that he had promised to secure a room for her at a boarding house. Underhill then took the woman to a boarding house, she says. Then, the woman cays, Underhill told. her that Clarkson was not his right name and that he was not a detective. Amazed over his peculiar actions Miss Provins demanded to be informed just what Underhill expected her to to do. She says that he then told her he wanted her to become attentive to Wilmer Stamer, alleged to have been defrauded by Underhill, and if she succeeded in infatuating him to induce him to accompany her to some town in Ohio. After the elopment, Mirs Provins says, she was to take Stamer to a hotel and have him register her and himself as man and wife. Then she was to take Stamer to a room. The climax to the alleged conspiracy against Stamer was to come with Underhill and some confederates forcing their way into the room. Underhill was to denounce Stamer as a violator of the Mann "white slave" act, and as a wife deserter, i according to the story Miss Provins told Prosecutor Reller. Plead for Protection. After Underhill had done this Miss Provins was to plead for the protection of her good name, whereupon Underhill was to declare that he would keep silent only with the assurance that Stamer was to remain way from Indiana and not to appear as a witness when the fraud case was called for trial at New Castle. Miss Provins asserts that she informed Underhill that under no consideration would she be a party to such a transaction. Then she says, she decided to report the matter to the prosecuting attorney. The fraud case involving Underhill resulted from a real estate transaction several months ago. It is alleged that Underhill offered to trade a five-room dwelling on North Nineteenth street to Stamer for the property owned by Stamer on the same street. Underhill was to give Stamer additional compensation. State Presents Case. The state charges that when the deeds were exchanged the deed received by Stamer was to a threeroom house, adjoining Underbill's larger property, of a value of $500. The state asserts that while Stamer was still under the impression that he ANOTHER WITNESS PLACED ON STAND IN MUNCIE TRIAL MUNCIE, Ind.. JLy 30. That the state will try to bui! 1 its case against Deputy Prosecutor Gene Williams, charged with conspiracy to solicit bribes, on the testimony of former alleged partners in crime, was indicated today with the announcement that Robert Crabbs, who declared once he had leen a partner of Mayor Bunch in the gambling business, would be put on the stand tomorrow. Lloyd Young, who is alleged to have bribed city officials for slot machine priveleges. also will be put on the stand, it is said. The first material witness in the case was Fred Puckett, chief of detectives, who said Mayor Bunch appointed him to this position after his resignation as chief of police had been demanded. The state's theory is that the city officials wanted to get Puckett out of the way. Puckett declared, however, that the administration had done good work in cleaning up the "red light" district. Oil NT WITNESS IN MUNCIE BRIBE CASE MUNCIE, Ind., May 30. Memorial Day did not stop the trial of Deputy Prosecutor Williams, who is defending himself against a charge of soliciting bribes. With the court room lined with flags, by an old soldier bailiff, Lloyd Yount, one of the most Important witnesses of the state, told his story sitting beneath a huge American flag. He told of an alleged partnership between him and Williams and Mayor Bunch, under which Bunch and Williams were to get a part of the profits of his slot machine business.

had secured the property agreed upon he entered into a contract to sell it. through the agency of Underbill, to W. J. H. Enlow. It is asserted that Enlow gave Stamer his note for $S0O, secured by a mortgage on the small l three-room cottage. It had never been alleged to Enlow, it is alleged, that the property he was negotiating for was the five-room house, although Stamer all the lime was under the impression that he owned this property and that it was the one he was selling to Enlow. When Stamer's eyes were finally opened, the state contends, he discovered that he was holding an $800 note of a nvm who had little or no means, secured by .a mortgage or. a property worth"" less than 500. according to the state. Stamer reported the . case to the authorities and the indictment of Underhill by the grand jury resulted. The fraud case was set for trial in New Castle June 1, but will have to be postponed because the trial judge is now engaged in another case at Muncie. TEDDY URGES NATION TG BACK REGULAR ARMY KANSAS CITY. Mo, May 30. Strong appeal for preparedness, military and industrial, was made by Col. T. R. Roosevelt in his Memorial day address here today. President Wilson's Mexican policy was attacked by the former chief executive, who said that the present administration has been three years late in dealing with the situation along the southern border. A navy that would rank second to only one other navy in the world and an army of 250,000 men was urged by Col. Roosevelt. Army Needs Support. "But the navy and the regular army are not enough," said Mr. Roosevelt. "Exactly as back of the navy should stand the regu'ar army, so back of the regular army should stand the nation. I speak to, and on behalf of, a nation of- freemen. I do not wish us, the peo ple, to sink into a condition where we are so soft, so ease loving, so fond of pleasure, or so wrapped up in moneygetting, that we cannot do the hard work that brave men must do when the need calls. I speak for universal service based on universal training." Action was Needed. "If at the outset, if three years ago we had resolutely and with foresight prepared to act, and then, if necessary, acted, in Mexico, that country would today be as peaceful and prosperous as Cuba where we actually did take the very action I advocate for Mexico. If, the instant that the great war broke out in July, 1914, our fleet had been mobilized a competent man put at the head of the Navy Department, our army put in proper trim, and steps taken by our representatives at Wash iugton, both Executive and Legis, lative, to show that we were making ready to meet any exigency that arose, there would have been no trouble of any kind with any belligerent. Of course, when we submitted to wrongdoing from one side, we invited a repetition of that wrongdoing by that side and the infliction of similar wrongs by the other side. The thousands of non-combatants, men, women and children, in eluding many hundrends of American men, women and children, who have been killed on the high seas, owe the loss of their lives primarily to the supine action of this nation; to our failure to prepare, and our failurue in instant insistence on our own rights and on those rights of others which we had guaranteed to protect. Turn to Industries. "Military preparedness is only one side or an around preparedness. It would be worthless unless based on industrial preparedness, and both would be worthless unless based on preparedness of the soul and spirit. You men who wore the Blue and the Gray, when once the war was over, turned to the farm and the shop and the counting house, and again took up your life work of earning your living and supporting your families, and making provision for the generation that was to come after you. You did this work thoroughly, as you had thoroughly done the work of war." LITTLE NAVY MEN WIN FIRST BLOOD WASHINGTON, May 30. The first of the Republican amendments to increase the building program for the navy was defeated today in the House by a vote of 109 to 83. The amendment proposed to increase the number of battle cruisers authorized to six instead of five as provided in the bill. Three Democrats Dupree, of Louisiana; Eagle, of Texas; and Driscoll, of New York, voted for the amendment.

German forces renewed their attacks against the French positions west of the Meuse last night. While the French positions east of j the river were being violently shelled the crown prince hurled his legions against the French positions at Le Mort Homme ( Dead Man's Hill) and in the region of Cumieres. Although these attacks were preceded by strong artillery fire and were pushed home with the utmost vigor they were repulsed. To the northeast of Verdun the Germans concentrated their artillery fire against the French lines on the Douaumont front. All night long the shells of big calibre guns were dropped upon the French trenches with monotonous regularity. Germany is using, compressed paper with a thin leather covering for shoe soles, it Is said, and it is known that some American firms are doing the very same thing.
