is interpreted as an indication that
j negotiations between Italy and Austria
| are being continued.
Rome, April 22, 1.25 A. M., • Via
Paris, April 23, 5 A. M.—What pur
ported to be the stipulations upon
which an agreement between Italy and
Austria was originally proposed are
printed by the "Avanti," the organ ot

trality, which asserts it obtained them
; in an interview with an unnamed for
| mer minister, who said he participated
, in the original negotiations with Prince
j Von Buelow, the German Ambassador.
The following are said to have been
substantially the provisions of the
agreement suggested:
Recognition of the reoiprocial in
terests of Austria and Italy to pre
serve the alliance; rectification of the
' frontier to give Italy more military
' security and greater confidence in the
| friendly feelings of Austria; settlement!
of the Adriatic question including Al-1
bania. in such a way as to satisfy Italy i
and eliminating sources of discord with i
Austria; greater racial and cultural pro
tection for Italians remaining under •
Austrian rule as Prince Von Buelow
expressed the personal opinion that
Austria could be induced to cede Italy
the territory inhabited chiefly by
Italians.

Writes Letter to Assistant District At
torney of New York, Telling How
Plot Was to Be Consummated—
Sheriff on the Alert
By Associated Press.
New York, April 23.—Sheriff Grif
fin Haige.i said to-day that he had ta
ken every precaution to frustrate an
alleged plot to spirit Harry Thaw out
of N'ew York State, which r'ame to light
last night in Norfolk, Va. Without
accusing Thaw or anv of his intimates
of participation in .he plot, the local
authorities said they had reason to be
lieve that plans hail been laid to take
Thaw from his guard on the way to
court here, plaee him in an automobile
and hurry him to the first train for
Virginia.
According to the Sheriff, the plan
was first revealed by the following let
ter written to Assistant District At
torney Frederick J. Groehl, of New
York, by Louis Weinrop, of Norfolk:
"A man comes over to me and he
said I should go to New York when
Harry Thaw's case come? up on the
22d of April and he will give me two
more men and they will have an auta
mobile to tako Harry Thaw away, when
he conies to court room, to auother
State, and he offered me one thousand
dollars and all expenses and a seeuritv
for anv accident happens me in any re-
I sponsible place, but I refused him the
1 job because he wanted me to go at
once with him to New York, but I
wanted him to give me SSO before 1
go with him.
"He did not want to do that, he only
wanted to pay me car fare to New York
and go there with him to his office in
New York. This man is a detective,
but he travels from the city to another.
I know him. but I can't write you in
this letter who he is But if I could
see you personally I will tell who he is;
if you want me you could wire me at
or.ee on your expense and I will come
to New York."

REACTIONARY TENDENCIES
DOMINANT AT THE OPENING
American Tobacco Makes an Abrupt
Decline of Eight Points—United
States Steel Fractionally Lower—
Reading Makes Slight Gains
By Associated Press.
New \ork, April 23.—Reactionary
tendencies were again dominant at the
opening of to-day's market, leading
stccks as well as specialties moving
eontrarily. United States Steel was
fractionally lower, while Reading and
some shares of less prominence made
slight gains. American Tobacco made
an abrupt deciine of eight points.
Trading during the morning fell
somewhat under yesterday's moderate
total with further selling of Steel,
Reading and other favorites. Such of
ferings were well taken, however, inas
much as prices recovered. Speculation
extended more generally to the. low
priced coppers, with renewed activity
in local tractions at higher quotations, i
| There was some confusion of prices in
j the specialties, but some of the recently
I active "war" shares, like . Westing
house, American Locomotive, Pressed
Steel Car and Bethlehem Steel, were
again taken up at substantial advances. |
Bonds were steady, despite indications
of further foreign selling.

Lake Turned Into Farm
Memphis, Tenn., April 23.—Golden
Lake, Ark., is no more. Four thousand
acres of water in Mississippi county, j
Arkansas, was converted into dry land
when the final sluice gate was closed
a»d a project launched two years ago
was successfully consummated. Golden
Lake, once an estuary of the Missis
sippi river, will in the future produce
cotton, corn, potatoes and fruits. Its
soil is too rich for wheat and most of
tbe other grains because the growth
would be too rank.
