Attempt to Prove in Ritual Kiev, Nov, 2.—Counsel for the de- fense.in the trial of Mendel Beiliss, oharged with murdering the Christian oy, Yushinsky, have succeeded in pre- venting the prosecution from having the minutes read of previous cases dealing with alleged ritual murder. The medical testimony having been con- cluded, the sitting today began with the hearing of theologlcal witnesses, among whom only one upholds the views of the prosecution, namely, the priest, Father Pranaites, whose ev dence has already gone to the extent of being repudiated by the vatican au- thorities. Among other experts to be heard is Professor Kokovsoff, a relative of the Russian premier. A long list of ab- struse questions concerning ritual mur der was put to the theological experts, neither questions nor answers appar- ently Dbeing' comprehcnsible to the jury, which is _composed of peasants and small shopkeepers. The list in- cluded such guestions as follows: By what did the Jews replace the victim in the case of the first born sacrificed to Jehovah?” What portion of the body, accord- ing to ‘the interpretation of the Tal- mud and the Cabala, is it out of which the soul is mostly held to issue with the blood?” While Father Pranaites was testify- ing he mentioned Christ, whereupon the president of the court declared that the name cf Christ could only be men- tioned when the court was sitting be- hind closed doors. Pranaites contemd- ed that the extermination of the Chris- tians was the main object of the exist- ence of the Talmudists. At the instance of the prosecution, long extracts were read from a book written by a Greek monk named Neo- phyte, a cony®rted Jewish rabbi. Ac- cording to this book, Christian blood is in constant demand by Jews all over the world for various uses on all the ceremoniouis oceasions of life.

Bly, an 18 vear old medical student of Philadelphia, and his 19 year old bride were found in the woods near Northfield. Buliet wounds in the tem- ples of each, a revolver containing two ambers lying between them, and a note signed by both convinced the police that the couple ended their lives as the result of a suicide pact, The note, which was in the young man's handwritng, read: “Death is the easiest way out, Rose will kill herself and I will follow.” Other letters found in Bly’s clothing told of parental objection to their wed- ding, which friends say took place last Ausust.

Since he promised to turn over the executive power after an election, the American government is now await- ing for some declaration on his part. Should Huerta retire in favor of an- other, there is a possibility that the United States may attempt to compose the situation through his successor. But If the electiohs are decla in- valid by Huerta so ‘that he may con- tinue in power, the Washington ad- ministration, it is pointed out, would lock upon such a preclamation as an evidence of the incapacity of the pro- visional authorities to conduct an elee- tion, and might come forth with defl- nite proposals to assist in rehabilitat- ing the governmental machinery of the country. < Sounding Out the Powers. Just mow the future policy of the United States is being quietly and informally made known in diplomatic circles abroad and there are intima- tions that before many days foreign sovernments generally will have been apprised of the American attitude, It is unlikely that there will be any pub. lication of the American policy until Europe has been formally sounded out. What the United States desires, it is belleved, is that the powers shall in- dicate their support of its efforts to solve the problem so that it may ap- proach the Mexico City administration in a final effort to secure the elimina- | tion of Huerta. The conference at Vera Cruz between John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative and the Russian, Norwegian and German ministers, has not been explained here, but it is thought to be a part of the programme enlisting the support of foreign’ governments, Senator Bagon Confers. with Wilson. Senator Bacon, chairman of the for- elgn relations committee, conferred with President Wilson at the White House late today but declined to dis- cuss his visit. Asked for his views on the situation in general the Georgia senator said the one thing necessary to secure a solution of the Mexican problem was for the governments in fSurope to in- dicate in some positive way that, they intended {o leave In the hands of the United States the formulation of a pol- icy to be pursued toward Mexico and that they will give the policy their support, i1 this is made so cléar,” he said, “then General Huerta will understand he will be compelled to accede to any | demand made by the United States and a peaceable solution of the Mexi- can problem would very promptly be found.” Huerta May Have to Be Forced Out. The belief of many officials is that it the United States can approach Hureta with the united backing of the nations of ‘the world, he might yield, but prominent constitutionalists here who know Huerta’ personali de- clare he will never retire unless force is used. Carranza Offers Suggestion. Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 2.—Through Henry Allen Tupper of the inter- national peace forum General Venus- tiano Carranza, head of the rebel con- stitutionalisis of Mexico, transmitted to the United States government today an official statement which suggesis that President Wilson can solve the Mexican problem by merely according to the constitutionalists the right to import arms freely from the United States.
