State department officials were resting secure Monday night in the belief that Tuesday's celebration of the annivt r?ary oi Mexican independence, though it might lie marked by interesting dech)pments, would not jeopardize the safety of Americans in Mexico. They are confident that In the capital, "where the federal authorities are in i u 1 1 control, there is no possibility of mi anti-American demonstration that would involve risk of personal injury, whib in the outlying states the officials are under the strictest instruction from Gen. Hucrta to extend full protection to Americans. In the country dominated by the constitutionalists, the Various local leaders are treating Americans courteously, ami on the whole, the only element of flanker if believed to lie with the irresponsible brigand bands that are, particularly active in the fcouthcrn section. Bryan Confident. Fccy. Bryan said late Monday he was confident of the, safety of the little band of American refugees which had been slowly and painfully maKing its way from Torrcon to Saltillo. However, lie has sent the customary Instructions to American consular officers to interest themselves in behalf of this party, and messages alm have Rone to tho American consuls at Chihuahua and Tepic, inquiring as to the truth of the report that Morris P. Hoot, a nephew of Senator Root, had been shot at the latter place. In this case iMr. Bryan is acting entirely upon newspaper reports on the affair. The embarcation of American refuycees on the west coast of Mexico continues and the 'American consular officer nt Los Mo.'his reported that six American adults, eight children and one German were leaving the district for the United States on the cruiser Yorktown today. 1)1 TNY UK POUTS.

in New York Prison. REPORT FROM GERMANY THAT HE IS DEMENTED Attorneys Indicate That Insan-, ity Will be Defense at Trial. State Declares He is Criminal in Eyes of the Law. NEW YORK. .Sopt. IU. Inspector j Fan rot, who on Sunday arrested Father Hans Schmidt, who later confessed to Jiaving murdered Anna Aumuller and . cut up her body and cast it piece by piece into the Hudson river, early Monday morning arrived at police headquarters, having in custoy Dr. E. Muret, a dentist, of 301 St. Nicholas av., and his housekeeper, Bertha Zck. Dr. Muret is being held on a technical charge of counterfeiting, and the woman as a material witness. It. is alleged that under the name of George Miller, Muret hired an apartment in West 13 4th st. and that in this apartment were found plates and presses and portions of parially detroyed proofs of $202 gold certificates. The detectives allege that they also found in Father Schmidt's room at St. Joseph's rectory a plate from which counterfeit money had been struck. Dr. Muret was arrested at his home, which is in the vicinity of 1-oth st., nt'ir St. Joseph's church. The dentist setmed unconcerned when he was taLen into custody. Dr. Muret is 31 years old. He was born in Chicago but went to Europe as a boy and studied In the public schools cf Berlin, lie graduated from a dental college there In 1902-3 and came to New York in tho latter year. NEW YORK, Sept. 16. liana Schmidt, the priest who confessed that he killed Anna Aumuller with a butcher knife "as a sacrifice to be consummated in blood", is in the observation ward of the Tombs prison Monday night under the watchful eye of Dr. McGuire, the prison physician. Warden Fallon of the Tombs declares the man Is Insane one of the most dangerous men ever confined in the prison, and In this view he was upheld by Deptuy Commissioner of Corrections Wright. From far oft Mainz. Germany, there came today to Monsignor Joseph F. Mooney, vigar general of the archdiocese o New York, a cablegram from the secretary of the bishop which said that Schmidt had been declared insane there and suspended by the bishop. The message read: "Schmidt born at Aschaffenburg. Priest of diocese of Mainz. Ran away from Mainz because of attempted frauds; arrested by police. Declared insane by the court and discharged. Suspended by bishop for nets and for presenting falsified document regarding studies he pretended to have made. Then left diocese." Retells CVIi no. In his coll Schmidt told and retold the story of his crime. "The Lord told me to do It." or "St. Elizabeth, my patron, demanded the sacrifice", were the only reasons he gave for his deed and he invariably added, "Clod In T I is own time will clear it up. God and Abraham know why I kil'ed her". Alphonc Koelbe. Schmidt's attorney, indicated Monday that insanity would be the defense at Schmidt's trial. n the other hand however, the aistno attorney's assistants declare thfA Schmidt is a criminal and not an insane man in the eyes of the law. They say his excuses for his action are framtHi along the lines of religious mania. The portions of the body of Anna Aumuller in the Hoboken morgue were positivolv identified today by Anna Hirt. who formerly had served as a domestic wun tne neaa gin. She also identified clothing and trinkets taken to the police headquarters, from the apartment, where the murder was committed as having belonged to the Aumuller woman.

FD0H.J1.0FM. Jamps A. Emery Denies Mulhairs Charges in Three-Hour Address to House Lobby Committee. WASHINGTON, .Sept. 16. The defense cf the National Association of Manufacturers to the charges of a checkered and improper political career in Washington and elsewhere, made by its former "lobbyist", Martin M. Mulhall. was concluded Monday night by James A. Emery, chief agent o fthe association in the capital. ' For nearly three hours, Errery addressed the house lobbj.' committee. He made a detailed denial of Mulhall's charges that the association packed congressional committees; that it rode roughshod over those members who opposed its legislative will, that it campaigned with frequency and at great expense , to elect its favored congressional friends and that it spent several hundred thousand dollars in "lobby work" through Mulhall himself. "With impassioned oratory, Emery declared that the association never tried improperly to influence legislation. Ho pointed to the testimony of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, before the committee, to show that the manufacturers, merely opposed the ideas of labor-saving legislation which Mr. Gompers and tne unions campaigned so vigorously to get from congress. Attack Hitter. Referring to Mulhall himself, Emery surpassed in condemnation any of the public men who have taken the stand during the investigation to attack the lobbyist's, remarkable story. "The evidence before this committee conclusively demonstrates that the character of Mulhall destroys every right to believe him. nor is his written word worth more than his oral statement!," said he. "By his own testimony against that of his letters, by the falsity of their contents, proved by independent witnesses, by the deception, treachery and falsehood that underlies every relation of his life, he is utterly unworthy of belief. "Dismissed from his employment two years ago, he undertook to Lfetray his employers while still in their pay to representatives of organized labor and while pleading for reinstatement he was manufacturing evidence to villify former benefactors. By the evidence which he has himself produced, ho portrays himself and assailing with incredible partiality those for whom he professes gratitude, equally with those who are tlie evident objects of malicious and long plotted 'evenge."

RULES AGAINST CITY ASK NEW JUDGE NOW Michigan City Attorneys to Have Still Another Judge to Try Suit Agalu:?t Corporation. On motion of the city of Michigan t'ity a new special judge will be appointed to hear the case of the Mar-wick-Mitchell Auditing Co. against the city, in which Atty. Henry A. Steis of South Bend has been sitting by appointment as special judge. The application for a change was made Monday when the case was to have been tried. Judge Gallagher will nominate three lawyers at the opening of the Laporte circuit court next Monday from whom the litigants will select a new judge. The change was taken by the city attorneys because of a ruling of Special Judge Steis in which he refused to sustain their demurrer to the auditing company's complaint, thus throwing out the cause of action. The auditing company is seeking to collect for an examination of the city's accounts made several years ago. ORLAMDO SOMMERS WOULD BE COMMANDER OF G. A. R.

P. Nuto became one of the Matteawan fugitive's custodians and Tuesday morning he will be taken to Littleton, N. H., and produced before Judge Edgar Aldrich in the United States district court. The writ was obtained by Thaw'n lawyers as a weapon against William i Travers Jerome, in case Jerome should essay forcibly to get Thaw ucrosa the New York border. Before the federal court Tuesday they will seek to havo the writ continued to safeguard their client should Gov. Felker find against Thaw in the1 extradition hearing to be held at Concord probably on Wednesday. Jerome will oppose the continuance of the writ and insist on an immediato hearing, even though thero j is a possibility that Thaw may bo re- I leased from custody. Jerome believes Thaw's counsel would make no at-! tempt to get their client out of the t state under the circumstances and that Thaw would immediately be ar rested and brought before the gov- j erno'r as arranged.

G SGEHEOFMUHDE Body of Man Found Murdered On Hillside Police Seek Strange Woman Who Haunted Neighborhood.. NEW YORK. Sept. 16. The poliec of this city and Yonkers are seeding to solve another murder mystery which just now seems as .baffling as the great Hudson river murder mystery seemed a V'eek ago. For three months a woman, aged about 30, well dressed and pretty, has been seen almost daily on the cliffs overlooking the Hudson river just above Yonkers. As she struggled up the precipitous hillside Monday afternoon she came upon two boys driving a wagon, and asked to be driven to Hastings. Her manner aroused the curiosity of the boys, who later returned to the spot where the woman had been seen, i clambered down the rocky hillside, and suddenly came upon the skeleton of a man. The flesh had wasted from his bones, but parts of his clothing remained. Ne;r by was found a woman's glove and a little distance, away tho silk sleeve of a woman's dress, fille-d with stones. This had evidently been the weapon with which the mm I had been murdered. Efforts to trace the woman f;ulel and it is believed she is hiding in this city. One theory of the policy js thatj . - . 1 . - 1 : I tne woman -wa.s inreu o some pnysiologlcal force to the scene of the crime against her will. According to the boys description she wore widow's weeds und her faco showed the strain of strong emotion. At times she was incoherent. Persons living in the vicinity of the spot where the body wa.s found, said they had seen tho woman around the vicinity almost daily all summer. Nothing could be found by which the slain man could be identified. Painter Shoots German Officer Army Man Had Written Slan derous Letters About Paint - er's Wife. BERLIN. Sept. 10.

The latter drew a revolver and shot- his antagonist through the heart. year sentence for murdering her husband, who bore an honored Italian name, is soon to be released and that she will be married to a Milanese solicitor.
