A Tragedy During The Buy.
El Paso, Texas (Special). Presi
dents of tho two great republics of
tho North American Continent met
each entering the territory of the
other, and exchanged the stilted lan
guage which stands for peace and
gives promise of Joint prosperity.
President Diaz extended the hand
of friendship to Mr. Taft. the head
of the Government which has con
tributed millions to the development
of the border country. This visit
was then returned by President Taft
But once before in the political
history of the United States has its
President crossed its borders. Mr,
Taft had for a precedent the visit
of Theodore Roosevelt to Panama
early in the history of tho Panama
canal.
But this was a visit of friendship.
not or precedent, and had it been
necessary to initiate such an act
President Taft would not have hesl
tated.
Both executives spent the day un
der heavy military and Secret Serv
Ice guard. There was a noticeable
tension, which covered the fear In
the heart of every thinking citizen
that some harm might come to one
ruler or the other. This was not
directed against President Taft, ex
cept as he became Its mark because
of his association and frlendlv ex
change with the President of the
other republic, where revolution
smolders.
There was a striking contrast be
tween the two rulers and the man
ner in which they approached the
meeting, president I ait reluctantly
laid aside the sack coat, In which
ho has been getting close to the
people of the Southwest In platform
speeches, and donned for the day a
shining silk hat with the frock coat
prescribed by tho Department of
State.
Mexico's Chief Glitters.
President Diaz was resplendent
with all the pomp and glitter of a
general In the Mexican Army. Be'
tween the glittering gold of his col.
lar and the brilliant color of his
sash clustered row after row of med
als and lnslnla.
President Taft rode In a carriage
which any other respectable citizen
of Texas may have for $1 an hour.
Liveried footmen and a gold deco
ated coach, with deep, luxuriant
cushions, brought from the Mexican
capital, carried the aged President
of Mexico.
All the deep-rooted .hospitality of
the Spanish nature found an outlet
in the banquet given by Diaz at
Juarez for his distinguished guest.
Carloads of flowers, crests of the
Emperor Maxlmlllian, the art of
trained chefs and everything which
money freely offered could provide
was laid before the fellow-ruler
whom General Diaz desired to honor.
Cordial Sentiments Exchanged.
Each ruler toasted the other with
sentiments which were applauded
until the crowd without caught the
Infection and yelled the "bruvos" to
a mighty roar. President Diaz
spoke, with the warmth and elo
quence of the Spanish race, his re
gard and good wishes to the Ameri
can ruler and his people. Rising to
return tho honor paid him, Presi
dent Taft gave highest compliment
to the patriotic devotion, will and
energy of the Mexicans; labeled the
alms and Ideals of the two nations
as identical, and pledged the never-
ending bonds of mutual sympathy
between .Mexico and the United
States.
Before the two Presidents sat
down together at the banquet table,
they met in El Paso, with an In
formality which led the State De
partment to bar the doors of the
hall In which they clasped hands to
all but a few of the guests.

President Taft has been Informed of
mt. Knox's action.
In his statement Mr. Knox says
"I have reluctantly reached the
conclusion mat the good ot the serv.
ice demands that I should inform
Mr. Crano that his resignation will
be accepted and I have done so."
The reasons for the action of the
department are the newspaper
stories recently printed concerning
affairs of the Orient. The Secretary
bu.vb or mis in nis announcement
The Department of State has
been engaged for sometime In mak
ing a study of the recent agreement
netween China and Japan in rela
Hon to Manchuria from such data
bearing upon the situation ns it was
able to secure with a view of de
termining whether there Is anything
in the agreement adversely affect
ing American Interests or In conflict
with the principle of equal oppor
tunny to which the Dowers are
pledged; a study not yet concluded
and In respect to which no decision
has been reached.
ntio this Investigation was
proceeding Mr. Crane, the minister
to cnina, came to the department,
and while there was informed by
one of the clerks that such an ex
amination was being made. With
out consultation with the acting sec
retary or any other responsible offi
cer of the department, and without
tho knowledge or authority of any
one connected with the department,
Mr. crane gave out a newspaper
story to the effect that this govern
ment was preparing to protest
against some features of the agree
ment, and that the promulgation of
the protest only awaited the return
of an official who was to formulate
it.
"The story appeared In a Western
newspaper, and at the same time or
a day later In the Japanese press.
It subsequently was generally pub
lished. Such were the representa
tions made to me October 1 by the
responsible officers of the State De
partment, accompanied by their
statements that they had sufficient
reasons to believe them to be true
Whereupon I sent Mr. Crane at San
Francisco the following telegram
dated October 3, 1909:
You have been charged with
the responsibility for the canards re
cently appearing In the Japanese and
American press to the effect that the
United States Is preparing to pro
test against the Chinese-Japanese
agreement. The evidence that you
are responsible for this Is of such a
character as warrants me in direct
ing you to come to Washington and
meet It. If you are not responsible.
as I hope you are not, matters re
lating to Oriental affairs have de
veloped since you left Washington
that make it advisable for me to
communicate with you personally
and In tho utmost confidence in rela
tion thereto.'
"At a conference with Mr, Crane
Sunday evening he admitted having
an indiscreet talk with a reporter
which resulted in the publications
referred to and assuming responsi
bility. He stated that If the Indis
cretion was grave enough to shake
my confidence In his usefulness he
would willingly resign. I have re
luctantly reached the conclusion that
the good of the service demands that
I should Inform Mr. Crane that his
resignation will be accepted, and I
have done so."

Chicago (Special). A fashiona
bly dressed bandit, who robbed the
savings bank of D. M. Ersklne &
Co., In Highland Park, 111., an aris
tocratic suburb on the Lake shore,
25 miles north of Chicago, commit
ted suicide by shooting himself In the
moutn wnen driven at bay by a High
land rarit marshal and a posse of
citizens, a companion of the rob
ber, who had driven him to the bank
in an automobile, was captured im
mediately following the robbery,
forcing the principal perpetrator of
tne oaring daylight crime to flee on
root. He was engaged in ' a run
ning duel with Town Marshal John
Sheehan, who was the target for
many bullets from the fugitive ban
dit's revolver, one of which went
through the sleeve of his coat. Aft
er running several blocks and fail
ing to drive back his pursuers, the
robber ran Into a shed, closely fol
lowed by Sheehan. When he saw
Sheehan enter the shed with his re
volver leveled at his head the fugi
tive put the muzzle of bis own re
volver in his mouth and fired a shot
which resulted in his death almost
immediately.
Neither he nor his companion Is
known. The man arrested, who ap
peared In the guise of a chauffeur,
positively refused after his arrest to
discuss anything concerning his or
his companion's identity. The rob
bery was conducted in a deliberate
and spectacular manner, the bandit
securing about $500 in gold coin
and bills after he had forced John C.
Duffy, cashier of the bank; Miss Nel
lie Fitzgerald, the bookkeeper, and
Joseph F. Richards, the receiving
teller. Into the cashler'B cage just
after the closing of business for the
day.
In the mronlng the automobllo
bearing the robber and his chauffeur
drove up to the bank. The man who
is now dead entered the bank and
Inquired of Cashier Duffy if a "Mr.
Williams" was in the bank. Duffy
said he knew of a Mr. Williams at
Libertyvllle, 111., somo miles west
of Highland Park. The visitor thank
ed him and left. He drove away
and returned a little after 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. He entered tho
bank, while his companion remained
outside in the automobile.
"Did you find Williams?" asked
Duffy when his vlstor re-entered.
"No, he wasn't there," the stran
ger replied. Cashier Duffy then be
came Busplclous and his visitor went
to the street and conversed with the
chauffeur, returning again to the
bank and standing In a remote cor
ner of the room while Duffy closed
the front doors. The side door he
left open for the stranger to depart.
Fearing something wrong Duffy hur
riedly took a large amount of mon
ey and locked It in the vault. Sev
eral hundred dollars still were In
his cage. As he entered the cage
Duffy was confronted by the rob
ber, who covered him with a revolver.
"Call everyone in here into that
cage," said the bandit, "or I'll blow
your head off. Hurry up!"
Duffy, unarmed, compiled with
the demand. MIbb Fitzgerald and
Richards came Into the cage, while
the intruder helped himself to all
the money in sight. He carefully
tucked the gold and bills Into his
pockets and then exclaimed:
"If any of you attempt to follow
me I will kill you."
He started for the door and Duffy
telephoned the Marshal's office across
the street. By the time the robber
reached the automobile Marshal
Sheehan was running toward the
bank. At sight of him the robber
broke Into a run and citizens held
the chauffeur. The chase after the
fugitive was a thrilling one, but end
ed In his Buicide within a few min
utes. All the money taken from the
bank was found in his clothing.

provisions of the $125,000 ball bond
subscribed by his friends and busl

was to surrender himself when ths
Circuit Court of Appeals handed
down Its decision. The fall term of
court opened Monday, but It was not
cAci:ieu uiHi a aecision would b
handed down so soon, owing to ludge
Noyes' absence in Europe, jug
Noyes heard the Morse appeal with
Judges Lacombe and Coxe, but he
has been in Brussels during the
summer In attendance at the
Maritime Conference, and it bag
been the impression that he had
not yet arrived at anv opinion tn
the Morse case. It was evident that
both Morse and his counsel were tek.
en by surprise at the sudden turn the
convicted man's affairs had taken.
From 11 o'clock ln the morning
until nearly 3 o'clock In the afternoon
Morse and Mr. Littleton were in close
conference. The banker appeared
the least affected at his plight of all
the friends aho surrounded him. He
conferred with his counsel as coolly
as ho would with a business asso
ciate ln his private office. Mrs. Morse
was noticeably affected and showed
her agitation ln walking about nerr
ously. One of Morse's keenest regrets at
being forced to return to prison ii
the interruption of his beaverlllte
struggle to rebuild his fortune. Since
bis liberation under bail he had been
re-elected president of the MetropolL
tan Steamship Company, a New Eng
land corporation, and of the Hudson
Navigating Company, operating i
line of boats on the Hudson. He Ii
credited with having discharged the
bulk o his debts. From the two bin
transportation lines that had within
the week elected Morse as their presl.
dent, there was no official statement
forthcoming after the decision. It
was understood that, for tho time
belne at least, the elections would
stand.
