April 15.—The superior court of Vienna has decided that a wife commits a misdemeanor if she opens her husband's letters. The case arose out of an action brought by Frau Anna Herriman». who suspected her husband of infidelity. She ab- strated his keys from his pocket at night while he was asleep, unlocked a bureau and opened a sealed letter found therein which Herrimann had addressed to another woman but had not yet mailed. The letter confirmed her suspicions, as it appointed a ren dezvous. The wife then took legal action rompreheud thelasa^nst the woman, but the husband hranrhes or i by prosecuting his wife for ^^‘----rnment! th^ the secrecy of his private Riirh n’prind ■ correspondence—a serious offense un- ./n av deem neces-j der the Austrian la^.

April 15.—Pluckily fighting against the accumulating diffi culties the administration keeps at ork hoping and working for peace. Senor Limantour has not been talk ative but he shows that he is passing through a period of added stress by his appearance. The affair at Agua Prieta and its sequence of action by both American and British officers, the latter in lower California,^ has ad ded to the distress of the government. I have assurances that the Converse Blatt indictment will be “satisfactor ily adjusted in a very short time” this comes from such a source that I am inclined to believe the release of the lads will soon be announced, but the harrying the administration is receiv ing from the state department at Washington is offering even more diffi culties than the revolt. The govern ment, if it jields on the many points involved, will be accused of being afraid of the highly disliked Americans and if it sticks out it will be jumped on by fierce diplomatic notes. The po sition of our government seems to be well based on every point of conten tion, but hopping on, a nation like Mexico when it is at its wits ends to save itself from the ultimate of disas ter seems too much like hectoring a small boy to excite sympathy. Madeto has taken a stand that ap pears to prevent any further peace ne gotiations. His terms are so humiliat ing that no government could accept them and retain any vestige of respect HARVARD ADMINISTERS DEFEAT TO JOHN HOPKINS SCENES 11)1 MURDER MYSTERY Scenes apd principals' \ Lake, W.

INIERESI IN Special to The News. Washington, April '' 15.—In his speech today Representative Kitchin said that “a member of the North Carolina delegation” was sending an anti-reciprocity speech to the state 3n his frank to try to convert the oeople to his way of thinking. He said that the speech was calculat ed to create a false impression. Mr Gudger, of the tenth district, took ex ception to these remarks, rose and demanded the speaker to name the man, arid quit casting slurs on the entire delegation. The man from Ash- -ville had his dander up. Mr. Kitchin then said it was against the. rules of the house for him to say who it w'as but he supposed it was the man that made the speech. This meant Senator Simmons. This incident has caused consid erable comment. Mr. Kitchin made a very excellent speech, striking in surgent democrats - ■ and republicans alike. He said that Senator Simmons hadi reversed himself inside of ten years. MRS. SMITH HOLLINS M’KIM SAILS QUIETLY FOR EUROPE New York, April 15.—Since the an nouncement that the Rev. Dr. Francis Brown, president of the Union Theo logical Seminary, had been joined in the heresy charges made against Prof. William Adams Brown of the same institution everyone connected with the New York Presbytery has been interested in examining the writings on which the Pittsburg Presbytery bases its charges against Dr. Brown. The New York Observer of November 10 last in which the article appeared has gone out of print and not half the demand for it has been met. It was said that Dr. Brown was charged with openly questioning the belief that Je sus Christ was the son of God. Care ful examination of the article fails to reveal any such direct question. Stating that the church is made up of theory. Dr. Brown says that peo ple must have Christian experience and that this experience is the com mon bond. It must be expressed and talked about by those experiecing it although much may be left to the im agiiiation in describing it he says. “Be lief in the Lord Jesus Christ” Is he says, a very early form of it. He points out that the oldest attestations of the scene between Philip and the ennuch of Ethiopia gave no form of avowal but later there was inserted in the' authorized version the statement by the Ethiopian, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God.” This is the nearest that can be found in the ar tide to the supposed question. Dr. Brown, however, expresses his sympathy for those who are sometimes judged by their churches for the view- pointsh they hold as to specify details, one of which might be the question “There is no ground for surprise in the existence of statements that dif fer,” he says, “and even conflict. Not all minds work alike. We disagree of ten in our descriptions and explana tions while we are aware of our unity as sharers in the one fundamental ex perience.” FEDERAL INDICTMENT OVERRULED BY JUDGE RUDDIN Entire Cavalry Reffiment to\ Proceed at Once to Agua' Prieta to Insure Sajety oj \ Americans Now in Fighting \ Zone. I 7 , . j Mexican Government Wamed\ Jhat U.S. Soldiers WUl\ Cross the Line ij There is a\ Repetition oj Douglass Ari zona Ajfair. Washington, April IK.—The whole •of the sixth cavalry has been ordered* to move tonight from Des Moines to the Mexican border and to take sta tion near the scene of the disoredrs at Auga' Prieta. The commanding officer at Auga. Prieta has been given carte blanche to summon to his assistance the troops he needs pending the arrival of the sixth cavalry. Specifically he has been instructed to concentrate immediately at Douglas and Agua Prieta four more troops of cavalry. % Colonel Sibley in command of the department of Colorado has been or dered to remove his headquarters from, Denver to Huachuca, 40 miles north of Douglas, and Agua Prieta. These orders were the result of conferences today at the White House between the president and General Wood, chief of staff and were based on private reports and reports made public from private parties and mili tary officers along the border. The concentration of troops and the, increase which has been ordered^' were decided upon so as to put the i United States in position to carry out: its policy as announced officially lastj night by the president to Mexico thatj there shall be no recurrence of the; events which took place day before yesterday at Agua Prieta. It was ascertained today that there^ have been no order* to any command- I er along the border to cross the bor der under aiy circumstances until he gets the command direct from Wash ington. Taken in connection with the viewa expressed at the White House yester day, it is the President who will de termine whether the troops shall cross the border if the Mexican or in- surrectos, or both combine, begin fighting in a position that will endan ger the lives and property of Amerl^ can citizens. i The President up to a late hour this afternocfn had no reply from the Mex ican government as to the Warning given President Diaz by the state de-| partment that the Mexicans shall not; select places of battle where there la' apt to l)e danger to American non-' camhattants. This reply will be' important, at tt; ^111 deal with international rights and, pri-vileges of war, as in the case ofj Mexico, the efforts to put down an- insurrection or “sedition” as it IbI called at the Mexican capitaL , Official News. i The official news from th^ fronfr today as given out by the war de-, partment was as follows: i Telegraphic information has heexi received from the American command er at Douglas, Ariz., to the effect that the dispositions of the Federal and' insurgent forces at Agua Prieta dur ing the engagement on the 13th were such as to bring Douglas under their; fire at various times. He is of the; opinion that the Federals and insuiv‘ gents were equally to blame and be lieves the best method to avoid a rep etition of injuries to people, on the American side is to notify, if possibleij both Federals and insurgents, so to( conduct future operations as to elude the possibility of a repetition/ of the dangers incurred during thei fight of the 13th . He adds that be had endeavored to so advise the insuxsent> leaders in that -vicinity. The Insurgent* force in Agua Prieta is very -well be-, haved, and there are no signs of, drunkenness, disorder or pillage to any extent in their camp. ' “The commanding general, departs ment of Colorado has been Instructedj to send additional troops to Douglas,' if in his opinion it is deemed advisay ble and in the meantime to avoid de-! lay and to meet any possible immedl-: ate contingency, the commander a1? Douglas has been instructed to jaH upon nearby commanders of American troops for assistance if he finds that this is necessary.” ^ ^ i \New York, April 15.—Mrs. Smith Hollins McKim, the charming member of the Four Hundred inner coterie, who has sometimes been mentioned ih society’s chatter as likely to be come the future Mrs. .Alfred G. Van derbilt, sailed very quietly—in fact, under an assumed name—for Europe, last Thursday. Mr. Vanderbilt is now in London. Mrs. McKim is bound for Paris. If report# are true, her trip is limited to Paris. It is said that there was a family Council just before she left and that she agreed with her father, Dr. Isaac Emerson, and her other rela tives, that. In view of recent reports,, it would be best for her to stay in the "FYesch capital while abroad; V Spokane, Wash., April 15.—A demur rer to the Federal indictments charg ing Donald A.
