Miss Portner's parents are said to have wished her to marry a New York millionaire, who was a suitor for her hand, and to have discouraged Mr. Graham's attentions.

The bodies lay there with the water Which the firemen soon were pouring knto the building soaking them. There .was no time to clear the dead in toe 'street away. ...Inside the building the firemen believed still were dozens bpon dozens of girls and men, and the 'firemen wasted no time upon those 'whom at a glance they knew to be dead. I . It'was more than an hour and a half before the firemen could enter the floor where the fire started, the eighth, and .they came back then with the word -that a quick glance showed, according to ChiefXfroker, about fifty dead bod ies on that floor alone. ; In the elevator shaft also was a pile of bodies, estimated conservatively at twenty-five, girls who had jumped down the elevator shaft after the ele vator had made Its last trip, j There is just one lite escape in the building.

At the request of the president, Baron Uchlda. the ambassador, called at the White House for luncheon and In a long talk with Mr. Taft .was assured that there was no foundation for the reports that this government in ordering the troops to Texas and the Mexican border had one eye directed across the Pacific. Primarily the president called in the Japanese ambassador to congratulate him upon the consummation of the ne gotiations for the treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Japan. The formal ex change of treaties between the two nations will be made on April 4. The president told the Japanese ambassa dor that never, so far as his knowledge permitted him to speak, and the rela tions between -the United States and Japan been more friendly. The president told callers that he was very much surprised when he re turned from his southern vacation to find reports of trouble with Japan fly ing around through the country. The president told his visitors that such reports were most ridiculous and un warranted. ' The Mexican tangle was taken up by tne cabinet. It was the first meet ing of the president's official family In two weeks, but other business was of secondary importance compared to the discussion of the Texas maneuvers and the situation In the republic south of the Rio'Grande. . It was decided at the cabinet meet ing that it is now time for this gov ernment to "stand pat." Affairs in Mexico and in Texas just at present are in statu quo, and no further dem onstration of any kind is contemplated. The administration advisers feel that there is nothing that this government can do at present and that it is best that Mexico be left entirely free to see If she cannot work out her own salva tion. - REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The Bank op Warsaw, at Warsaw, in the State of North Caro lina, at the close of business , March 7, 1911.
