'Attention of Officials and Diplomats in Washington is Centered at Summer White House at Cornish, N. H. CANNOT ACCEDE IN ANY DEGREE TO SUGGESTIONS Notification of Ships Which Carry No Contraband is IllogicalWill Claim Rights For Americans. WASHINGTON, July u The attention of utheials anrl diplomats in Washington today is centeia-d on the Mimnwr whit house, where Pres't Wil.-on Logins con;-ieleratien of his replv to the McOiiJ unsatisfactory German answer to the protest of this government to the sinking of the Pusitania. Indications today are that the- third note of this ovcrnmrnt will le dispatched probably within :i week and it will be brief, pointedly reiterating the former views of this government and rejecting the counter-proposals of ( IcrniHiu'. See 'y I-ansing is scheduled to go to Cornish by the middle of the week. Pefore his departure he is likely to have a b-ngthy conference with Count von Pernstorff, the German ambassador, who is anxious to be of assistance if possible in straightening out the present badly tangled situation. Wilson Cannot Acti'do. It is accepted by most as a matter of course here that Pres't Wilson can not accede in any degree to the suggestions mae'e iii the Herman reply. The administration is understood to appreciate, the cordial tenor of the 'Herman reply, but as to the principles 'involved the two nations are still far apart. The vay has been left open for further correspondence, but Herman) and the United States apparently are as far apart as they were six weeks ao. This causes officials to become apprehensive lest the patience of the American people Income exhausted and the situation assume the ciritical nature It possess d immediately following the destruction of the Pusitania. The impression here is that the presidents third communication regarding the proteetion of American travelers at sea will be a document remarkable for its brevity and directness. It is not thought that this govrnment will enter into a lengthy argument through diplomatic channels, although the president is expected to point out why the counter proposals f Germany cannot be accepted by the I'nited States. Will IU- Held Illogical. The suggestion, for instance, that tlie I'nited States shall notify the Herman government of the departure of ships which carry no contraband will be held to be illogical, it is probable. This arrangement, it is contended here, would amount to a notification that all other ships do carry' contraband and are legitimate prey for submarines. The proposal that the I'nited States shall put aduitionul ships under the .administration t!asr is another Herman plan which this government is expected to reject became it would carry with it a virtual abandonment of the claim that Americans have a right to .travel on any merchantman without fear of losing their lives. Pres't Wilson, it is anticipated, will (COXTIXl'KP C.. PAGP TWO.) Noblesvillc Miss and Sweetheart Ar e Taken Back to Stand Trial Self Defense is Her Plea. NOPPKSVH.I.K. Ind..

Order is Stieet "eing Maintained by Patrols While Small Squac!:i Are Searching City For Zapatistas. OUTBURST OF LOOTING DOES NOT MATERIALIZE "First Chief' Expected to Return to Capital Soon Consul Shanklin is on the Ground. Py Arthur Contantine. MEXICO CITV, Mexico. July 12. Carranza troops are in full control of the Mexican capital today. Order ii being maintained by street patrols, while small squad are searching the city for any Zapatistas who may be still lurking here. The main Zapata forces are in full retreat, pursued by the larger part of the army of Gen. Pablo Gonzales, the Carranza commander. The outburst of looting that was expected upon the Might of the Zapatistas failed to materialize. Gen. Carranza is expected here within a few days to take up the reln.s of government. Peeause of the victories won against Villa by Gen. Obregon in the north, it is expected that the "tirst chief will make another bid for American recognition. The tlight of the Zapatistas began Friday night. They took away with them 142 cars, or SO per cent of the entire rolling stock of the railroads. Thomas Hohler, the charge d'affaires, is trying to secure the return of this stock, which will be required for the transportation of food supplies. Consul Gen. Arnold Shankl!i, who has been in Vera Cruz most of the time since Gen. Carranza took up his headquarters there, will handle American interests in the capital hereafter. Upon his departure they were takes ovr by the Brazilian minister. The loss of Mexico City by the Z.apatistas is said to have disorganized the entire southern army. Several Zapata bands are reported to have headed for Xoehimilco to destroy the water plant supplying the city, and Carranza troops are pursuing and trying to surround them. WASHINGTON, July 12. Gen. Carranza's retaking of Mexico City is the lirst step in his new campaign for recognition by the United States as the head of the government of Mexico, it was conceded in state department circles and Mexican factional circles today. State department otlicials intimated that the first chief of the constitutionalists would get little comfort from the United States government at his time, even though he maintained civil authority in the Mexican capital. They pointed out that 11 months ago Carranza was escorted through tbn. ctrr-Ptv: of Mexico City to the pal ace amid show ers of roses and tho j ,,,., -mo rf thousands of victorious rev- I olutionary soldiers, yet he was unable to secure recognition for his faction from the government of the United States. Since that time he has twice evacuated the capital and retaken it, but todav he is as far frovi being master of the country as he was a year At the Mexican embassy, however, the Carranza representatives today showed a high degree of optimism as to their campaign for recognition by the I'nited States and they predicted that their government soon would make a formal request that the United States open diplomatic relations with them.

The effort of the state of New York to prove that Harry K Thaw is still a dangerous lunatic and to eep him in Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane, this afternoon entered its linal stage when Deputy Atty. Gen. Cook put on the stand the state's alienists, who were ready to swear that Thaw is still a paranoiac. Dr. Flint was the first. He has been an ally of the state and has been ever since Thaw in 1C$ began his efforts to ahtain freedom. When court reconvened this afternoon. Deputy Atty. Gen. Pecker concluded reading the testimony given byMrs. Uvclyn Nesbit Thaw and others. Dr. Flint first told of his education and his connection with various hospitals and sanatariums devoted to mental diseases and then he had studied and diagnosed the mental ailment of 10.000 paranoia cases in Matteawan. After the recess Justice Hendrick again read the recent report of the newspapers. The judge said that he had been quoted as saying that Thaw answered a question "fullv and sanely." " never said that." said the judge. "I said that Thaw answered a question 'fully.' The newspapers will have to stop misrepresenting the cas I have expressed no opinion whatever about the sanity or insanity of Thaw." He then told the jury to disregard it if they had read that he had formed an opinion and said that the newspapers publishing such accounts are in contempt of court. Thaw reiterated his confident belief that he would be free in a few days and repeated that he had been planning to go to San Francisco. "If my lawyers leave me. any money." he 'said, "1 shall buy a c ar and go to the exposition that way. My mother has channel her mind aid will not go. If I go free, as I have every reason to hope, 1 shall spend a few "da.vs in PittsluT and then start for California by a-itorrtohile."

Police Grill Steve Horvath Two Hours But Fail to Get Details in Shooting of John Horvath Monday Morning. DETECTIVES SAY MEN WERE BREAKING SEALS Elkhart Officers Contend That Sawed-off Shot Gun Was Use by Gang Allowed to go After Telling Story. Members of the local police department spent a fruitless two hours Monday morning in quizzing Steve Horvath. brother of John Horvath, of Kentucky st., who was shot unl killed at Winkler's crossing on the New York Central railroad shortly after midnight Monday by two railroad detectives from Elkhart, Jnd. It was thought that Steve Horvath might be able to tell the authorities who the other members of the gang were, since he was alleged to have been one of the four who broke several car seals in t'.e railroad yards. Acocrding to the police, however, little was learned. IJe is being held at the city jail to be examined further Monday night and Tuesday morning. Detectives lteieased. The two detectives, Fred Gardiner and Charles A. Pay, who were arrested and held pending investigation by the local police, were released Monday morning by order of Coroner T. J. Swantz. who held thnt their act of shooting Horvath was justit.ed, according to the little evidence that has been turned up. Pav and Gardiner dropped off a freight train in the local yards when; they discovered the four men wander- J ing in the yards, h rom their place oi concealment they claimed to have seen them break, several car seals. In the effort to arrest them, the car breakers are alleged to have tired upon their pursuers with a sawed-off shotgun. When the detectives returned the tire, Horvath was- hit on the left side. The bullet took an upward com so and lodged under the skin in his right breast. Mrs. Susie Horvath. wife of the slain man, was questioned closely Monday morning by Sergt. of Detectives Parnhart. Other than to say that her husband had left home at S o'clock, she was unable to aid the authorities in their search for the other members of the gang. Left Home Sunday. Steve Horvath lives at his- brother's home, but according to Mrs. Horvath the two left at different hour;? Sunday evening. Coroner T. J. Swantz will hold the inquest in the ease at t o'clock Monday evening. At that time Mrs. Horvath and Steve Horvath will be called upon to tell what they know of the occurrence. A theory of possible truth which has been taken up by the police department is that the four men might have been the same who recently shot a brake-man in the kn'e in the local yards when they were ordered off the train by the crew. However, other members ?jf the department discredit this theory. Arangements for the funerul have not hem completed as yet but it Is probable that the burial will be in the Hungarian cemetery on YV. Division st. Horvath was .11 years obi and leaves a wife, Susanna ami four small children. He was born in Hungary. AUTO TOOK HIS SALARY Hammond Woman Plaines Machine in Her Suit. HAMMOND. Ind..

Blair Tell Why They Object to Bremen Highway Say Work Not Well Done. Complaint as to the. condition of the Perkins highway was heard by the county commissioru is Monday forenoon. A formal remonstrance to the -cceptance of the highway lias been tiled by George- W. Plair and others. The remonstrators appeared before the commissioners .Monday as also did members, of the Northern Indiana Motor club. The motor club is backing up the remonsti ators and a membership campaign, which was to have been started Monday morning was postponed until Tuesday pending the hearing before the commissioners. It was expected that the hearing would continue through the afternoon. It is alleged by the remonstrators that the Perkins highway, commonly known as the Union st. nnd or the Premen highway, wa.s not constructed according to specitications. The contract was let last July to H. W. Heed A: Sons for S'.ij and the work was completed twe weeks ago. The distance improvetl was four and one-half miles, extending from ML-h ;waka to Premen. Among other specific charges brought by the remonstrators is that the sub-grade was not rolb -d, that the gravel was not properly screened, that the proper proportions of sand were not used, that there is not the required thickness of gravel, that the road is not uniformly n l'et wide, and that there4 is mt proper diainage. Couldn't I'se Poller. Pres't Peed of t he contracting firm was th first witness examined. He admitteel that the sub-grade had not been rolled for the entire length with the steam roller for the reason that for part ef t ho distance ne ar the north end the foundation was of sand so loose that it could not be packed by the rolle r. That section, he said, had been rolleel with a. DJ-ton traction engine having ::0-inch whee ls. He testified that at no -place had .he gravel been laid without the permission of the inspecting engineer. It wa.s sought by counsel for the remonstrators te tind out how much gravel had been used on the entire highway. The witness could not answer from the record of fr igiit bills and the questieui was left unanswered until invoices from the gravel pits could be produced as evidence. As to sanel that was not screened before it was used, the witness declared that, ho had been instructed by the engineer that screening would not be necessary. Also, he said that the engine-er had permitted the doing away with grade boards at certain places where there was apparently no need for them. George- W. Pdair of the Mishawaka Woolen Manufacturing '.. was r.ext placed on the stand. He- said that his interest in the highway was no-rely the interest of a taxpayer. He said that he made- his first trip over the road during the second we e k in April and that at that time the surface sand and graved was very lois When hr made his last trip em list Friday, h" testified, the surface was s;ill 1m,. although nejt so much so as at tin time of his trip in April. The south end, he held, was particularly bad. Test for Grael De pt. The witness alse. testified that thereWere ruts in the road ami that at places it was less than th" regulatb.u Dtffe-et in width. He said that tests had been made which showed that the sanel that had b e n us-el was much finer than the specifications ailed f.tr and that there' was bare Iy nine inches of gravel in the center of tb.e toad where there- should be 11 inches.
