So vesterday Coroner Dunn and the police called at the Home and invited three of the porters, Max Ring, Fritz Reichert and Frank Schmidt, to come with them to the station. There the men were questioned at length, and their stories, it is said, tallied with that which Mors had told. Smelled Chloroform in Room. Ring proved the most communica- tive. On August 9, when the home was situated at Unionport, he said, ac- cording to the police, he had occasion t{c go to the room of Christian Hitzel, one of the inmates. Entering, he saw Superintendent Bankert sitting at one side of the bed and Mors at the other, he said. Ring said he also noticed a strong odor of chloroform in the air. “What is it?” he asked. “Oh nothing,” he says they him. However, the pair went to the win- dcw, threw it open, and lighted ciga and also the gas, according to Ring. In a few moments the odor disap- peared, he said.

She said Mo had often spoken to her of the uselessness of the inmates and that on one occasion he remarked that “it would be a good thing to get rid of more of them.” The girl said she repeated this talk to Superinten- dent Bankert and that the latter had promptly discharged Mors.

Washington, tion officials Feb. 6.—Administra- and the diplomatic rep- resentatives of foreign governments here were keenly watching for d velopments today in the acute situa- tion at Mexico City, where many members of the diplomatic corps threaten to quit because of serious friction with the Carranza govern- ment. i The advisability of united action for the withdrawal of all foreign le- gations in the Mexican capital because of the difficulty of code communica- tion and the alleged slight respect shown them by the Carranza authori- ties already has heen suggested to their home governments by diplo- mats of some leading FEuropean na- tions. This would leave the interests of foreign countries in Mexico in charge of consular offices thereby virtually severing diplomatic relations with the southern republic. A critical feature of the situation is the threatened de- portation of the Spanish minister for affording asyvlum to Angel de Caso, confidential agent of the Spanish gov- ernment, accused of complicity in the Villa movement.
