Nov. 10.—Developments | in #n the Mexican situation today tended to emphasize a purpose on the part of the Washington gevernment to refuse We have the right to assume that to recognize any of the acts of the new Mexican congress and brought to light | will the fact thai serious consideration was Ybeing given by President Wilson to the guestion of Dermitting exportation of | an interchange of views with the ut- arms to all factions in the southern re- public.

It was reported that some of these diplomats transmitted long despatches to their home governments today de- mcribing the situation as approaching closer to a complete break in relations between the United States and Mexico than at any time since the Mexican yroblem became troublesome. Huerta’s Statement. The state department made public today Huerta's statement to the diplo- matic corps in Mexico City at midnight last Saturdey, the burden of which was | that the presidential election would be deciared null and veid, but that the new elected members of congress would soon be installed: tional legislature would soon resume the legislative powers which General | Huerta had seen fit to assume during the interim between the arrest of the deputies for sedition and the induction of the new members of congress. Huerta’s Defense of His Course. In view of the fact that the note re- cited in detail Huerta's defense of his assumption of legislative powers and his arrest of the deputies, and gave also his programme for the future, it was taken by many diplomats as an obvious reply to the American sugges- tion that he eliminate himsSelf from the situation. The Mexican embassy here, which received a cOpy of the note, de- clared in an official ?&!en}ellt that “it may be assumed th received represent the attitude President Iuerta and indicate the na- ture of his reply to the inquiry of the governmeni of the United States Te- garding his purpeses in view of the re- cent presidential elections.” Inconsistency of Huerta, White House officials called atten- tion to what seemed to them an iucon- sistency in the Hueria note whetein it assumed as valid the eleetion of con- gressmen which were held simultane- ously with the voting for president and vice president. to be declared by Huer- 12 null and void The purpose of the United States nelther to recognize Huerta's right to that the na- | the despatches | of | 1 charge | time such that with the fi | ness of discu | feel the fulles of congressmen equally as invalid as| can happen to disturb our common re- the voting for president and vice pres- | solve to attain and maintain a sympa- | i | | { | | eontinue in power nor the acts of the | new congress is the essence of what | has been comauunicated to the foreign diplomats by this government. No Negotiations With Rebels. Future stens have not been specific. ally eutdined. that while the policy of the govern- ment has been io keep foreign nations continually informed, there has been no direes effert to seek the support of the powers w the American pro- gramme. There is ne secrel, Lowever, of the desire of the Ubnited States for the acutiescence of the powers in its potiey Refnsal tu recognize the acts f the new congress, which can grant @necssions or ratify loan agreements, would be calculated, American officials say, further o weaken the resourd of the Hueria goverumeni.

CONNECTICUT NEEDS WOMEN’S REFORMATORY Suggestion Made at Meeting of Society of Social Hygiene. New Haven, Conn, Nov. 10.—The annual meeting of the Connecticut So- clety of Soclal Hygiene was held here today with a large attendance. Re- ports of the officers showed the or- ganization to be flourishing. Receipts for the year amounted to more than $5,000 and there is a cash balance of $1.883.86 on hand. Officers were not elected this year. The most interesting of the number of reports read from committees was that of Professor William R. Bafley of Yale, in charge of he social evil com- mittee. His recommendations are: “First, those cities which have de- clded to tolerate vice no longer, be en- couraged to continue their efforts, The attempt should be made to have other cities fall in line. “Second, the places of commercial- ized amusement In our state should be closely watched. In two cities special officers have been detailed to watch dance halls. “Third, adequate provision should be made in this state for the care of imbeciles. The institution at Lake- ville is filled to overflowing and many girls are now on the waiting list. The recent investigation at the reformatory for women at Bedford Hills showed that 29.9 ‘per cent. of the prostitutes in this institution were mentally de- fective. “Fourth, there is a fecling in many quarters that Connecticut needs a re- formatory for women.” “Finally,” s Professor Bailey, “we must re that moral instruction must be the ultimate force to suc- cessfully combat the evil. The home, the school, and the church must unite in the formation of character. The home is undoubtedly the ideal social agent, but in too many cases we realize that little hope lies there. Educational and preventative work take time but are worth while.” THIS YEAR’S CORN CROP WORLD BEATER IN VALUE. Worth More Than Any Other Season Has Produced. Washington, Nov. 10.—This year’s corn crop promises to be the most valuable this or any other nation has ever produced, although the depart- ment of agriculture’s preliminary esti- mate of production, issued today, indi- cates it will be more than half a billion bushels le in size than the record crop of last vear, and the smallest since 1903. Based on the department’s figures of 70.7 cents per bushel, the average farm value on November 1, the crop, as now estimated, is worth $1,741,353,019, while the value of the 1912 record crop was $1.520,454,000. The previous most valuable crop was that of 1909, when it was worth $1,- 652,822,000, The department’'s preliminary esti- mate of production today increased by 80,000,000 bushels the estimate made | in October. and also that made in Sep- | tember. This was taken to indicat that the damage from the very severs droaght in the middle west was some- what over-estimated. The depart ment’s final estimate of production] next month may show further increase in the e of the crop. DROVE AUTOMOBILE WHILE INTOXICATED Three Mew Britain “Joy Riders” Nar- rowly Escape Death.

Beiless is not guilty, but the murder was committed in the Zaiteff works. This was the verdiot returned shortly after six o'clock tonight by the jury after two hours’ deliberation. Beiliss Sobs Convulsively. When Beillss was taken out of the prisoner’s room of the court for the last time and brought along the dingy corridor, it was seen that his guard had been Increased to flve soldiers. Two officers entered the dock with him. Beiliss was outwardly calm, The Jjury then filed in and the foreman ddvanced a few paces from the box and read the verdict, Belliss was standing with his hands on the dock rail. He seemed to be in a state of coma, but was striving to collect his wits and comprehend what was being said. When he real- ized the meaning of the verdict he fell back into his seat sobbing convulsive- ly. His counsel approached the dock and shook hands with him warmly, An Uneasy Feeling. All afternoon the streets of Kiev were crowded and after the verdict was pronounced-the police dispersed numerous gatherings all over the city. An uneasy feeling prevails, for it s not known what capital the Black Hundred will make out of the jury’s finding that the murder was commlit- ted in the Zaiteff brick works. Thus far, however, there have been no dis- orders. Attempts to Incite Riots. Anti-Semitic agitators, many of whom are students, are openly ineft- ing mobs to pogroms by affirming that the Jews had purchased the verdict. The governor of Kiev, however, called a meeting of representatives of Jews and promised that everything would be done to prevent outbreaks. He ask- ed that the Jews on their part eschew jubilant demonstrations, The president of the court i his summing up observed a tone of moderation, but said that all the evi- dence pointed to the erime having been committed in the vicinity of the Zai- teff works and not Vera Tcheberiak’ flat. He also dismissed all the testi mony pointing to the Tcheberiak wo- man and her band, and remarked how few were the witnesses who had given direct evidence against Belliss. Beiliss Still in Prison. The jury must congider, he said, whether the possibility of such ritual murders had been proved, and, if proved, Berliss must be condemned. Two questions were put to the jury, the first of which made no men- tion of Belliss, but simply Inquired whether the crime as described was committed on the brick works prem- ises. This was answered in the affirm- atlve. The second question, asking whether Beillss was guilty, was an- swered in the negative, Counsel for the defense protested against the mention of the Zaltefr works as the scene of the crime. Beiliss remained in prison tonight. Victim’s Body Found in 1911. The trial of Mendel Beiliss, a Rus- sian of the Hebrew faith, for the al- leged murder for purposes of ‘blood ritual” of Andrew Yushinsky, a Chris- tian lad, began on October 8. The mutilated body of the boy was found on March 5, 1911, in a cave near Kiev. The hands were bound behind the back and there were 47 wounds on the body. Beiliss was shortly afterward arrested and charged with the murder. During the hearing many medical experts tes- tified, their opinions varying as to th reasons for the crime. Other witnesses threw suspicion on a woman, Vera Tcheberiak, alleged to be the harborer of a band of criminals, BISHOP NILAN CONFERS WITH THE CARDINAL, Affairs of Church in New England un- der Discussion.
