Tyler said that all the complica- ti were due to what he styled M cagni’s unreasonable demands. At practically the last moment,” he said, “word came from Italy that the or- chestration was not completed, and that Mascagni would not then sail. a result the opening performance was deferred. Liebler & Co. then notified ‘Mascagni by cable to leave on the fi ship eailing after January 1, and that the opening performance would be held the latter part of January. At this stage, continues Mr. Tyler, Mascagnd demanded verious modifi tions of his contracts and addi large sums of money. “To refuse these demands,” sald Mr. Tyler, “would re- sult in the opera not being produced. To accede to them would enable M cagni to make further demands which miight require the Bank of England (o eatisfy, and however great our desire to present the opera,we could not con- ecientiously accede to his outrageous demands, and cabled him accordMs- 1y.” In comclusion Mr. Tyler gave out tha tevt of the letter which Liebler & Co. had sent to Mascagni under date of December 2 last, excerpts from which have been cabled from Rome.

Pittsburg, Jan. 8.—The New Year looks hopeful and business at present is encouraging, but at this early date it would be impossible to give more than a casual forecast of the prospects for 1911. This was the statement made by William E. Corey, the retiring presi- dent of the United States Steel cor- poration, after the ennual dinner of the Carnegie Steel company operating officials at the Duquesne club last night. As to the future, he said he had made no plans. It was too early as yet. He also said his duties as presi- dent, while supposedly ending with the close of the fiscal year of the corpora- tion, might end sooner. He did not vet know what would be decided. “You will not return to live in Pitts- burg, will you?” he was asked. I guess not,” he replied, ing. *T like New York.

L, Jan. 8.—Indications that Mrs. Minka Fine, the Ambrose street shopkeeper whose mutilated body was found in her little store last night, had been submitted to torture before her death developed at the autopsy held on the body today by Medical E: aminer Griffin.

Clothing Torn to Shreds. The victim’s clothing had been torn to shreds by the murderer in his search for the money that the woman was supposed to carry. During the course of the examination a small peari- handled knife, covered with blood dropped from a fold in the victim's dress.

The door at that time, Miller said, was locked,but he peered through the glass and saw a strange man there. During a search of the house the officers found an_old-fashioned four- tined fork covered with blood, which was apparently on of the instruments used in the murder. One tine was bent up. which would account for the fact that in one place in the body of the dead woman four punctures were found. while in another there were but three—the force of the blow having apparently bent up the fourth prong. Robber Expected to Find $1,000. One of the sons of the woman told the police tonight that while his moth- er was expecting a payment of $1,000 in insurance on the life of her hus- band( she had not received it, and ha doubted if the robber found more than $10_on her person.

Its New Controlling Interests Unable to Withstand Recent Drain on It— Hurt by the Robin Case. New York, Jan. 8.—The Carnegle Trust company_ which has been the object of more disquieting rumors dur- ing the four brief years of its exist- ence than have involved any other financial institution of the city in twice that period,was closed yesterday morn- ing by the state superintendent of banks, Orin . Cheney. The banking department is still making its exami- nation of the Carnegie Trust and had no statement to give out last night as to its condition. President J. H. Ho ell, however, issued a statement de- claring that the depositors would not lose a cent and that some substantial equity would remain for the stock- holders after liquidation. The general cause of the Carnegle Trust’s closing was a steady pressure of withdrawals, amounting to a grad- ual run, ever since the company’s name, mentioned in connection with the ma- nipulation of J. G. Robin in the North- ern bank, brought it ence more into unenviable prominence. The immedi- ateweause was inability to meet an or- der of the banking department to take out about $500,000 of securities of so “slow” a character that the state su- perintendent was unwilling that the institution should stay open with these holdings blocking its ability te liqui- date. Mr. Cheney gave the Carnegie Trust management until yesterday morning to clear up its house, and then, being convinced that cash re- sources would not stand even the day's withdrawals, took possession.

Mrs. Schenk's lawyers, have obtained depositions from several of Mrs. Schenk’s relatives in _Ohio. These were sought to establish hered- however, itary insanity in her family. This has been ihe only clue as to the line of defense, but it has been intimated that her attorneys have oth- er plans. It is said that Mr. Scheni will not be called to the stand. The victim of the alleged poisoning is out of danger, though still weak. Interest in the case has by no means sagged in the long wait for the trial. Difficulty is anticipated in securing a jury. local people having taken sides in the case since it was first brougt out. Mrs. Schenk, who has spent two months in jail, has persistenly denied the charges, and is ccnfident that a verdict will be rendered in her favor.

Panama Canal Foriification "EX-SENATOR FORAKER SENDS LETTER TO PRESIDENT TAFT. RIGHT OF UNITED STATES To Fortify the Canal—A Letter De- signed to Clarify the Confused Situa- tion Which Has Arisen, ‘Washington, Jan. $.—A contribution designed to clarify the confused situa- tion which has arisen over the question of the right of the United States te fortify the Panama canal was submit- ted today by former Senator Foraker of Ohio to %resulnm Taft, who made it public. Throughout the period & ing which the Hay-Pauncefote tri w ty negotiated and ratified by both the United States and Grea ad ator Foraker »d with John Hay, then secretary of state, and made many of the suggestions which wers inco porated in the treaty preserving to government the s right to take suet means as it deemed necessary to pro- tect the canal property a_shipping without specifically authorizing - fications, The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. Senator Foraker's letter to Pr Taft, which is made public now, appar ently because it undert: to dispose of the question of the right of thi government to construct such fortifi tions as it may deem necessary for the protection of the canal property, re- views the acts of the senate in con nection with treaty making with Eng- land and laws passed subsequently to the ratification of the existing Hay- Pauficefote treaty. It tells of the rati- fication of a treaty by the senate Dec 20, 1900, which rejected the British government. Several Changes Suggested. Drifting into a general discussion of the whole subject Senator Foraker and Secretary Hay, it appears, agreed that it would be idle to undertake to secure the ratification of any treaty that flat ly prohibited fortification by the United States or involved this govern- ment in any obligation to consult amy other government as to the protection of its own property. Senator Foraker suggested several changes from the convention and some _transpositions t would soften the effeet. They in- cluded the following provision: Canal Shall Never Be Blockaded. “The canal shall never be blockaded, nor shall a right of war be exercised nor any act of hostility be comritted within it, The United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as mas be necessary to protect it against law - 1 and disorder.” Right Reserved to Fortify the Canal. Senator Foraker said that he marked the changes in a copy of the first Ha Pauncefote treaty which was handed ness him by Mr, H who took it away with him, and in the fall of the same yea: on Aug. 1901, avrote to the senator in confidence that he hoped to conm- clude a new treaty with England in line with 1 the suggestions which vou kindly made to me.” That treat was negotiated and sent to the senate in December, 1901, and was ratified without amendment and in due time was ratified by Great Britaln an’ be came a binding agreement. 1In his let ter to the president Semator Foraker shows that he had no doubt that the United States was reserving the right to fortify the canal. No One Would Ever Question Our Right. From e treaty provision fer the establishment of a military force on the canal, Senator Foraker sa would follow as a matter of course tha such a military force would have right to do whatever was necessary 1 the way of retrenching itself or, “in plalner words, fortifying itself against attack,’ He adds that the idea that with the canal constructed at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, “n one would ever question our right to do whatever might be necessary in our judgment to uphold our awthority and protect our property and commercial righ Mr. Foraker closed his letter the following: “There were a number of senator and a great many people who were o' the opinion then, and are probably st!! of the opinion, that it might be good policy for the United Btates mot to for tify or do anything else that would in vite an attack on the ecanal or make that a theater of hoetilitfes in case of war; but, however that may be | was, T know, the purpose of the grea: majority of the eenate, and as to the second treaty, at least, the purpose of Mr. Hay also, to preserve to tha United States an unquestioned right to so with respect to all such matters tever in ite judgment it might at time think its best interests re witt any quired.” POPPY S8EED IN MILK BOTTLES CAUSED DEATH OF TWIN BABIES Its Use Cu!!oml!‘y Am.mg Italian Mothers as a Soothing Potion.
