His death was due to heart failure and he was seated in his chair when the end came. ‘The deck the mayor a steward had been with few minutes before his deatnp and had taken his order for Juncheon, the mayor marking the menu to indicate the dishes he desired. 1 was on the boat deck and went below at tMadanch call to tell my fath- er that his lunch was ready. He had been taking his meals n one of the staterooms and he was seated in his chair, apparently asleep. 1 shook him gently but he did not respond. “His trained nurse, who had heen with him ten minutes previously, was summoned, and the ship’s surgeon, Dr. Hopper, was called. The mayor was given a hypodermic fnjection and ar- tificial respiration was resorted to, but it was quickly apparent that he was beyond any aid. An examination with a stethoscope Showed that the heart was no longer beating. The body was taken in charge by the ship’s offi- : asket, “On’ the morning of his death the mayor arose at about nine o'clock and after a hearty breakfast went on deck. He walked about the boat deck at frequent intervals, keeping in the |sun and he watched the men go through the fire arill About ten minutes before ome he | descended to the promenade deck and went to his chair, remarking that he felt very well, During the vovage dity improved and 2d decreased noticeab eat deal of interest in e ship day by day and he was par- icular to w just where the Baltic was when the chart was posted In the companionway each day.

United States Not Bound to Recognize Winner of Contest, Washington, Sept, 11.—Administra- tion- officfals here are convinced that the Mexico City authorities have no effective plan of their own to bring about peace in Mexico and that the sit- uation there is bafling. This government will await with imterest the election scheduled for Oct, 28, but does not feel bound to recognize the government resulting from that election, Should an election be at- | tempted while most of the country is still up in arms, and in which a ma- jority of the people shall have had no voice, the American government will adhere to previous precedents and witnhold recognition. These are the sed by officials in admi es who know the posi- dent Wilson.

Miss Miller said she had seen Miss Nellie Barton in Harris' office at the time when, the government contends, Harris was urging her to prevail upon Marsha Warrington, with whom Diggs had been arrested in Reno, Nev., to tell a story that would free Diggs., Fur- thermore, the witness said, she had been instructed by her employer later to call up Miss Barton and “get a re- port from her.” Objections by the defemse to the young woman's testimony on the ground that relations between employ - er and stenographer are confidential was overruled by Judge Van Fleet. Miss Miller was still on the stand when court adjourned for the day. AMERICANS UNDERBID | BY ENGLISH BUILDER | Briton Awarded Contract for Turbine Drums for U. 8. Battleship.

Colebrook, N, H., Sept. 11.—Twenty- five Canadians, several of them oppo- nents of Willlam Travers Jerome after his arrest in Coaticook, Que., last week on a charge of gambling and others from Sherbrooke, where Harry XK. Thaw received such an ovation in court, have followed the fugitive across the border into New Hampshire and revived with their coming the intense partisan feeling so evident while Thaw was in the Dominion. Jerome de- nounced one of them in public today, Court Proceedings Postponed. Their presence in Colebrook eniiven- ed what was otherwise a typical Thaw day for those who have been following the erratic course of Stanford White's slayer since his escape from Mattea- wan on Sunday morning, Aug, 17, There was no court proceeding, Thaw's arraignment being put off by mutual consent until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Thaw's lawyers, appar- ently thinking him safer in the custody of the sheriff than at large, abandoned their attempt to release him on a writ of habeas corpus. Thaw's Guard Increased, The guards about Thaw's hotel were increased tonight from twalve to twen- ty, All were armed and under the direction of Chief of Police Charles Kelly, The ehief appointed his first deputies yesterday after hearing stories that efficers from New York might attempt to spirit Thaw away, He augmented them in the face of ru- mors that the Canadian contingent might essay ihe same thing, with the idsa_of snatching Thaw from Jerome's hands and at the same time rebuking high Dominion officials responsible for Thaw's sudden deportation yesterday morning. Police Chief Gets Alarmed. Groups of Canadians stood about the hotel corridors and on the street cor- ners throughout the day and closely followed Thaw on the two trips he made from his room. The firat of these was to the barber shop; the second to the office of his chief coun- sel, Thomas Johnson. Two automo- biles, engines running, stood at the curb in front of the office all the time Thaw was within. This so alarmed the police chief that he and his men com- pletely surrounded Thaw when he was brought out and escorted him to the hotel. Mr. Jerome spoke with a smile to- night of the camp followers from across the border, but added that he had heard apparently authentic re- ports that some of the more emotion- al of the Thaw sympathizers from Canada had spoken seriously of liber- ating him. Jerome Denounces Thaw Partisdn. Jerome's denunciation of the parti- san from Coaticook ocurred in the Monadnock house, where Thaw is housed. The man, a partisan who in- terested himself in working up evi- dence against Jerome on the gamblin, charge of which he was accused, askeq to be introduced to him, Jerome look- ed him over coldly, then spoke acrid- 1y, bitterly, of his experience in Coati- cook, naming the man as ringleader. There was a moment of strained si- lence, then Jerome turned his back. Thaw's progress down Main street to his lawyer's office this afternoon drew the entire village and environs to the scene. HKvery available vehicle in town wag pressed into service: win- dows along the way were black with heads. Sweet Peas Tossed to Thaw, Thaw, head erect and smiling, walk- ed beside huge Sheriff Drew. Behind them trotted the small boys of the village; ahead frisked 2 little yellow dog, velping delightedly. From a sec- ond story window « small girl tossed Thaw a bouduet of sweet peas. there was no cheering.

Washington, Sept. 11.—David Lamar, conspicuous figure in the senate lobby investigation and now under indict- ment in New York for impersonating members of congress, was arrested here tonight by order of Attorney Gen- eral McReynolds. He was released on $3,000 bond. An Extradition Contest. ‘What promises to be a long drawn out extradition contest will begin September 17, the date set for Lamar's appearance before the United States commigsioner here. The warrant on which e warrant was made was i sued by the federal court in New York and had been brought here be- fore only to be carried back, the au- thorities to get their hands upon La- mar in New York state and avoid the | necessity of extradition proceedings and delay of probably a year or more, Lamar Not Surprised. In the meaniime Lamar has been in Washington stopping at a downtown hotel and appearing at the oapitol almost daily to attend sessions of the senate lobby ecommittee. Lately he had vainly tried to get the investi- gaters te hear him expose what he said was a greai rallroad lobby main- tained in Washington, R. O, Bampson, a New York special agent of the department of justice, came here this afternoon with the bench warrant, and accompanied by several distriof officers, arresied La- mar as he was entering his hotel. The prisoner did not seem surprised and within a few minutes had summoned by telephone his lawyer and a bonds- man, Impersonated Public Men. When Lamar, a former Wall street broker, first took the witness stand be- fore the senate committee and non- chalantly told of impersonating Rep- resentative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, Representative Riordan of New York, and other public men, in an effort to_ha vard Lauter- bach, a New Yor employed by the Union Pacific railroad for work in Washington, it was said that there was no law by which he could be reached. Later, however, the case was investigated by the federal grand jury in New York and indictments returned charging the former broker with Impersonating federal officers with Intent to defraud. Extradition Process Slow. This is said to be the first attempt on record to punish impersonation of a member of congress, although there have been varifous instances of such impersonations and bills have been in- troduced to make the act unlawful. The process of extraditing from the Distriot of Columbia 18 extraordinarily slow. When arraigned before the commissioner, Lamar will demand proof of a prima facle cass against him, and the govarnment then will pre- sent the record of the New York in- dictment. If extradition is ordered, then the prifoner may bring the mat- ter before the supreme court of the distriot by suing out a writ of habeas corpus. OBITUARY. Congressman William H. Wilder. ‘Washington, Sept. 11.—Representa- tive William Henry Wilder of the third Massachusetts district, died at his apartments here tonight after a linger- ing illness. A complication of diseases from which Mr. Wilder had been suffering for nearly two years became violent several weeks ago and the represen- tative took to his bed with the doctors holding out no hope for his recovery. His death had been expected at any time since. No arrangements for the funeral had been made tonight, but it is prob- able that the body will be taken to r. Wilder's home, Gardner, Mass., for interment. The representative’s death was an- nounced in the house tonight by his colleague, Representative Treadway of Masrachusetts, and the house after adopting resolutions of sympathy and respect, adjourned as a further mark of respect.
