Aanoclated Premi Dispatch by Sp3cit Wires Kiev, Russia, Oct. 23. When the trial of Mendel Beiliss for the murder of the Christian boy Yushinsky. in March, 1911, reopened this morning the prisoner's counsel called the attention of the, pre siding Judge to tbe fact, that, although tbe court sat yesterday from early in the morning until midnight, the prisoner's name was not, mentioned.

S. Lanier of Richmond, Va.

Aso-td Pt Ditpa'ch by FpcU! Wires Mohonk Lake, Oct 23. Con trol of the Philippines by an international council was proposed todav at the Lake Morion It conference of friends of the Indians and other dTndent people Th susrzestion came from A. S. Lanier of Richmond. Va, assistant solicitor of the United States Department of Azri- eulture, who served in the Philippines for several years as assistant secret-try of the Bureau of Justice.

Mr. Lanw let it be known that, he had just his plan to President Wilson and the Departments of Htate and War. ife offered it aa a solution of a problem which he acing and the one of all others most likv I Iv to embroil this country with Japan. The plan provides for a council composed of members selected by the L'nited Mates. England.

France, Germany, Russia and Japan aid possibly other nations. This body would select a chief executive. It. would be tbe upper legislative house of the islands, with a lower house composed entirely of natives. Its creation, Mr.

Lanier thinks, would do away with the necessity of keeping troop in the Philippines outside of the native forces. Any question upon which the members of the council could not agree would submitted to Th Hague Trubunal. Everttual-. bry Lanier believe, th FtikctiRn would be able to govern his own country. and when this time arrived the inter national council could be abolished.

The eess ion of the conferenee today was devoted to the Philippines. The discussions acmiired a timely interest from the recent change in he Philippine policy brought by the WUson administration-Many of the delegates seemed to disaeree with the change by which the natives were given a majority on the Philippine Commission. The supporters of this plan pointed out. however, that it was only tentative and that the law expressly stated that if a trial proved unsuccessful the plan could be abandoned. WILMINGTON CAN GROW RAPIDLY Rabbi Schreiber Sees No Keason Why There Should be a Handicap.

The ceived Chamber of Commerce ba3 re-the following interesting letter from Rev. Emanuel Schreiber, rabbi of the Temple of Truth: Gentlemen: Allow me to congratulate you on the great success so far achieved by your progressive and aggressive policy in pursuit of your praiseworthy goal, to make of our beautiful city what it deserves to be, the commercial, intellectual, cultural and social center of a State particularly blessed by nature and destined to become great. Mav your effort to join, forces with another organization which practically works for the same purpose which you pursue, succeed. The old principle, "Vinbus is still true. As a public-spirited man allow me to refute a common-place argument which, to say the least, cannot benefit the city.

I mean the pcsimistic phrase so often beard here, that "there's no use booming Wilmington, it is too near Philadelphia. As a man who has traveled over this country and the greatest part of Europe, I find such argumentation ridiculous. In Germany there is Hamburg, with a population of a million and Altona, only half a mile distant, in another province, with a quarter of a million inhabitants and rapidly growing. There is Elberheld, the great steel center, with a quarter of a million population, and over the bridge not half a mile distant. Barmen, almost as large and growing.

There are similar instances in France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, England, Holland and Belguim. But why go so far? St. Paul. Minn is hardly a mile away from Minneapolis. Both have almost 200,000 inhabitants.

There are half a dozen other cities in this country rapidly growing 3nd much nearer to each other than Wilmington is to Philadelphia. I mention only one more instance. Newark, N. is hardly a doen miles from New York City, can be reached every hour by rail and every ten minutes by the tube and yet she boasts of oOO.OOo 1 nhabitants and keeps ou growing most rapidly. It is with cities as it ia with individuals.

Whet her they grow, remain stationary and stabilism ineaas retrogression or go backwards, depends with very few exceptions, on themsehes and themselves only. Wishing jou further success, I am Yours very truly, Emanuel Schreiber. October IS, 1913. MERRITT NOMINATED. Afcftociated Fress Dispatch by Special Washington, Oct.

The body of thn vouth who was fatallv injured several weeks ago as a result of falling from the fly gallery during the construction of The Playhouse, was identified this morning as Morris Holland, aged IT years, formerly of Salisbury, Md. The identity was established by Wilson Niblctt of Salisbury, a half-brother of the deceased, who came here this morning. After having a conference with Deputy Coroner Harey E. Nichols they went to Silverbrook cemetery and the body was exhumed, when it was positively identified as that of Niblctt's half-brother. The body had been given a proper burial in Silverbrook cemetery through the efforts of Miss Nettie Spring, daughter of tht coroner.

After he body had remained at the morgue a few days without being claimed Miss Spring started a subscript ion for a burial fund and within a few days the had collected enough for that The youth was employed in the construction of the new theatre when he met his death. He had started to work on the building only the day lefore he met with the accident which resulted fatally.

According to a report received here today Secretary of State Bryan was elated to speak in Saleni, N. J-, at 1 o'clock thia afternoon, and that in coming from Washington he was to leave the train here and go to Salem on a special boat to be brought here by the Salem reception committee for that purpose.

So far as could be learned, however, no local arrangements appear to have been made, though thia would not be necessary. A representative of the Chamber of Commerce, who heard of Mr. Bryan's proposed plan, said he could see in it a demonstration of the practicability of the route between Wilmington ana. South Jersey. The Chamber of Commerce of this city, in its excursion to southern New Jersey, endeavored to show the people of that section and of this State the close connection lietween the two States and the logical relationship that should exist between them.

The route has been used more or less frequently by travelers this summer, but has not yet leen used to any great extent to establish business communications between the two States. MERGER APPEARS TO EIEJM POSSIBLE Mercantile Association Directors Decide to Discon- tinue Negotiations. The Mercantile Associttkn directors h-ld a meeting last night and voted to discontinue negotiations for a oierger with the Chamlw of Commerce. Action had been delayd by the Chamber of Commerce and the members of the Mercantile Association thought, that they were-losing too much valuable time from their campaign, and agreed that the. situation was not one which gave a committee worker much enthusiasm, according one of their number.

The sentiment seemed to be general that enough time had elapsed to fully consider the proposition. The members stated that they believed they would be able to have much success and to get many more members if this wavering condition were removed. Manv of the members who had never before believed that they could spare any time at all from their daily business, have discovered that they will'lj able to give much help to the cause, and have pledged active Kotkj for. the coming week. be committees will resume work at once, and bv Monday the entire group of teams wjJl be in the field-1 It likely that the Boon day" renrhednswiil be started again Ihe.

first of the week, and the campaign wilt hv renewed life. Thirty or 40 men that had been seen by the committees since the talk of merger began have signified their intention of joining with the body. the directors' meeting Henry S. manager of the Forster Shoe ws elected a member of that body to take the place of O. C.

Purdy, who resigned. Mr. Purdyon being interviewed this morning, said that his only reason for resigning as a director was that he is not able to give the Mercantile Association the time and attention it requires. He said, however, that he had subscribed for membership for three years and think? that the association has a very large field in Wilmington and wishes it "success. In regard to the Chamber of Commerce be said that there is no antagonism what soever on its part.

It is believed by the members of the Mercantile Association that nothing can campaign for a better Wilming- and the enthusiasm displayed last v-zht was worth while witnessing? At the Chamber of Commerce rooms "f-day it was said that the' matter of i-n was entirely in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce membership com mittee and the chairman of the committee being in New York for th past two days no one as willing to make any comments -n the action taken by the" Mercantile As -Uition.

He could ttdl his name, but was uanble to tell where he lived. He was committed by Magist rate Lew is to he for 10 days, but was there only a day when he died. As no one claimed the body it was buried in the county cemetery. The father never learned what became of his son yntil a few weeks ago when he heard that he had in the workhouse at Greenbank. MOTOR ACCIDENTS.

One Occurred Last Night and Another This Morning. Two slight automobile accidents occurred last night and this morning, nobody being seriously imured in either case, however.

GREGG The Coroner's Jury at Marcus Hook Believed Boy Was Accidentally Killed. That William Howard Gregg, the Wilmington boy whose mutilated body was found along the tracks of the Darby trolley line opposite Lawn Croft cemetery, near Claymont. early on the mons'uc of Sunday, September 21, came to hia death in an accidental manner, was the -verdict of the coroner's jury, sitting at the inquest into the death at the office of Deputy Coroner Cloud, Hook, list evening. The jury reached verdict after hearing the evidence o-t-everal witnesses which threw no light on the manner of the boy's death ina--much as it did not establish the, fact that Gregg died of injuries resulting from foul play. The verdict was of a non-ccuimittal nature, the conclusions being drawn from plain evidence of the finding of the body and nature of the wounds.

Should any heretofore unknown evidence crop out. both the office of the coroner and the district attorney will foDow it up. The verdict of the jury was as follows; "That William Howard Gregg, aged 17 years, of Viimington, DeL, came to his death from concussion of the brain, cause not determined, presumably accidental, on Sunday morning, September 21." The jurors, residents of Marcus Hook aad Trainer, were: Earnest Richardson, foreman; Florie Bartow, Mert Lean-, Jesse Whalen, Frank Baker, Harry Burns. The inquest consumed three hours. Evidence was given by Dr.

H. Furnees Tsjior, coroner's physician, relative to the wounds; by R. P. Cloud, relative to the finding of the body, and by County Detective O'Toole, who conducted the county a investigation. There was one new development in tho case when Arlington Smith and James Benhart testified.

They comprised the crew of thet last car which arrives in Chester from Wilmington shortly after 1 o'clock. Smith and Benhart testified that they saw the body lying on the platform. Mrs. Alice Gregg mother of the boy, also testified. She said that she did not know the hereabouts of her son that night, but believed his death to have been accidental.

District Attorney John B. Hannum questioned the witnesses. The pfice of the district attorney has kept in close touch with the case from th ttart and has conducted a rigid investigation. The opinion was that Gregg jumped off a car and sustained injuries which eauied his death. A SUDDEN DEATH.

IT EKLATED TO MEXICO Friendship of United States More Important to Great Britain Than Any Oil Concession. AMOcUted Treaa DlapatChea or London.

Oct. 23. In the ab sence of any definite lead from British official quarters newspaper comment on th Mexican situation today was generally confined to brief paragraphs questioning tn genuineness of the alleged interview given by Sir Lionel Cardan, ib British Minister to Mexico, which he is said to have remarked bt "the Washington government does not understand the situation in Mexico." Most of the papers urged a speedy disclaimer of the interview, declaring that the Amen'eans, being nearer the spot, are better sb'e than Great Britain to judge where the shoe pinches. The Pall Mall Gazette said: ought to recognize that British interests in Mexico are merely commercial, while those of the United States are national and are therefore paramount. The friendship of the United States is more important to Great Britain than nv oil concession." Walter Hinca f.g.

the United Statea Ambassador, said had no intention of going tn the British Foreign Office today. Not a word has ben heard here officially in regnrd fo the alleged interview given bv Sir Lionel Carden. No action will be taken in this direction unless the, British government's attention is drawn to the matter officially. Diplomatic circles here cannot believe that a man of the experience of Sir Lionel Carden would publicly criticise the policy of another government. Th greatest confidence is imposed in tbe Minister by the government, here.

In fact, he was sent to Mexico localise of his long experience there- as consul and because of the success he achieved as British Minister in Guate mala. Should the United States object to what he is credited with saving the usual course would be for Washington to inquire from the American representa tive, in Mexico as to the accuracy of the report before making representations lo tins country. Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, has gone to the country for a brief vacation, and this in taken as an indication that he does not consider the wtuatiou serious. CONFERRING AT WASHINGTON. President and Secretary- State Dl- cuaaing Mexican Affairs.

Washington, Oct. 23. Developments attending General Felix Diaz's attempts to campaign for the Mexican Presidency and the latest turn in the situation between the United States and Great Britain over the latter's attitude toward Mexico engaged the attention of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan in conferences during the day. The disposition of all the officials here to maintain absolute silence with regard to the inquiries by Ambassador Page at London indicated that the whole affair will be handled in the quiet realm of diplomacy, and no expression of policy were looked for on the subject either from Ixmdon or Washington. There was confidence that further and more intimate discussion of details would result in a friendly understanding, but in the meantime every effort is being made to envelop the incident in secrecy.

As election of October 26 approaches the administration here is in a waiting mood. Huerta's attitude leads to the belief that another announcement from the American government pointing to the inability of his government to conduct a free and fair election mav be expected. Meanwhile Constitutionalists arc re-jK'rted to making every effort to establish a civil government, so as to strengthen their claims for recognition or at least moral support for their cause. Upon advices from the embassy at Mexico City of the arrest of Daniel and Evarsto Ma-dero. brothers of the late President, Secretary Brvan today directed Charge O'Shaughnessy to use his good offices with the Huerta government to obtain a fair trial for the accused.

DIAZ AT VERA CRUZ. Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 23. General Ftlix Diaz remained here today, surrounded by a few followers: He admitted this morning that no definite time had been fixed for his return to the Federal capital, and he will not proceed there tonight, although most of his partisans, including Jos Luis Requena, who is running for the Vice-Presidency on tho same ticket, have left for Mexico City. General Diaa asserts that he has received no orders to leave Mexico.

The list of those arrested iu connection with his return to Mexico was increased to 17 last right. BATTLE AT Dallas, Texas, Oct. 23.
