MORGAN'S BOOKS. T0 BE EXAMINED Taking of Evidence in New Haven Probe Postponed. SEVERAL WITNESSES ILL William Rockefeller Cannot Be Lo- cated and Four Others Whose Tes- timony Is Desired Are Said to Be Unable to Appear, ‘Washington, May 27.—Special ex- aminers of the interstate commerce commission will examine the books of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., and also any personal accounts of the late J. Pierpont Morgan relating to New Ha- ven financial affairs. Further testimony on the affairs of the New Haven was postponed until “June 3 to permit special examiners to inspect the books of J. P. Morgan & Co., and personal papers of the late J. Pierpont Morgan. The delay, coming closely on the conference between President Wilson and Attorney General McReynolds and persistent reports that the inves- tigation probably would be halted, caused a great deal of speculation but there was nothing official to bear out the view that the conference was responsible for the latest develop- ment, Ledyard to Contradict Mellen. Lewis Cass Ledyard made a state- ment saying he wanted to deny much of the testimony of Mr. Mellen and protesting against the hearing being closed without his testimony being taken. He read a letter of May 23 to Commissioner McChord in which he said the testimony of Mr. Mellen is at variance with his recollection in a number of particulars and that he thinks a very partial and inaccurate impression of the affairs of the com- pany would be given, unless other witnesses are heard. Examiner David Brown told of ef- forts he had made to see Willlam Rockefeller in New York. He was informed at Mr. Rockefeller’s office and home that he had been away several weeks. Four important witnesses whose testimony is desired still are too ill to appear. A shell shaped reflector has been invented for diffusjng the light from electric reading lamps. !

Kansas City, May 27.—Actlon that may result in a union of all Presby- terlan bodles in the United States ‘was taken by the general assembly of the Southern Presbyierian church when it adopted the report of its committee.

San Francisco, May 27.—Statewide search has been inaugurated for the two little daughters of Shan Ching Shu, Chinese consul general of San Francisco, who disappeared from their home Sunday night. Siao Gual, aged thirteen, clad in red pantaloons and blouse, and Min Lien, aged eight, wearing blue pantaloons and a black blouse with white bars, were taken away from the residence of the consul general, according to his report to the police, between 10 p. m. Sunday and 6:45 a. m. next day. Neither can speak English. The theory is advanced in China- town that enemies of the faction rep- resented by Shan spirited the girls away for political reasons. Chinatown was thrown into wild ex- citement by the report of the disap- pearance of the girls. Every corner and nook of it was combed by friends and subordinates of the comsul gen- eral before the police were taken into his confidence in the matter.

AMERICANS STAND FIRM Insist That President Wilson's Pro -ponl Must Be Accepted, but Mex: icans Say They Cannot Guarantee Action by New Government. Niagara Falls, Ont., May 27.—The wind has suddenly veered once more, ‘When all seemed going well and every one was optimistic and the Mex: ican delegates, belleving they had reached an accord with the Amer icans, were about to issue a formal statement explanatory of their posi: tion on the land question and regret- ting that it was clearly impossible for them to give guarantees as to the ac tion of a new and sovereign. and recognized government, there came a sudden halt. =3 The Mexican delegates had their stenographic work finished, their hec: tograph ready to print the document, and then they stopped. They said they had concluded to issue no pro- nunciamento. It would be indiscreet, they said. It might disturb the satisfactory prog- ress of the mediation, not that they were less optimistic than ever, but they were less certain of the wisdom of the promised declaration at this critical moment. Then, when every one, amazed at this sudden step, were speculating upon the reason for, it and the air was filled with rumors, probable and absurdly improbable, the American delegates dashed up in their automo- biles. There was a hurried mounting the staircase to the room of the me- diators, the door of the mystic cham- ber was slammed and a prolonged and earnest ‘“‘conversation” " was entered \ 'A New Lightwelght, Doep Pointed Poabody & Co., Inc.
