Mrs. Labaree made the following declaration: ' "I believe that the great mission cause may receive serious injury if my children and I accept an indemnity for this murder.

New York, July 17.—Before a mother's grief for a son in dire trouble and her love for him the rules of the Tombs prison and the bars of a cell in murderers' row fell away and Mrs. William Thaw clasped her best loved son to a bosom that was torn with sobs. London, July 17.—Alfred Beit, frequently called the richest man in England, "diamond king" of the world, art connoisseur and philanthropist In many fields, died of an illness from which he had been suffering since he was stricken with paralysis early in 1!KD3. Philadelphia, July 17.—The United States Appellate court handed down a decision yesterday denying a new trial to Henry JDar, formerly president of the Doylestown National bank, convicted of having misappropriated the bank's funds. At almost the same time Judge McPherson, of the District court, filed rfn order, refusing a new trial to George Phlller Hrock, who had been cashier of the bank, who. It was charged, had assisted in the wrecking of the bank. Judge . Oray wrote a voluminous opinion concerning Lear, and Judge Archbald concurred in the decision. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 17.—Peace in Central America now seems assured."The change In plans includes a complete reversal regarding M. J. Gramnier, vice president of the Lake Shore nntT Michigan Southern railway. Grammer will not be indicted In tills or any other federnl district. Instead he will lie asked to assist the government 111 forging a chain of evidence about the necks of some of the biggest Standard Oil company officials in the country. After a conference between President Roosevelt and Acting Secretary of Stute Bacon It was announced through Secretary I.oeii that Guatemala and Salvador have agreed to a peace conference on board the United States cruiser Marhleliead, now at La Libertad, Salvador. All cscape was cut off by means of the stairway and exit for those imprisoned was through the second and third story windows, aided by firemen and police, and there were a number of heroic rescues, thrilling scenes and narrow escapes. The fire was quickly extinguished and then the discovery was made that James Conway had been suffocated and badly burned In his room on the third floor. The building was old and had been used for hotel and saloon purposes for many years. The damage to building and contents Is about if 12,000 and Is Insured. From the time that Harry Kendall Thaw was takeii to the Tombs charged with the murder of Stanford White on the roof of Madison Square Garden on the night of June 25 the Thaw millions have been as pennies so far as changing the rules of the great stone prison. Nor had the millions anything Co do with yesterday's break in the rule that murderers must see their visitors from behind steel liars. Keepers arc only human, after all. and this visitor was a mother, a gray hatred mother with face lined with trouble, and her love was the rule. Born in Hamburg in 1853, Mr. Belt, a man in the prime of life when he died, had accumulated a fortune from diamond and gold mines and other South African interests variously estimated at between $120,00(1,000 and $150,000,000. Mrs. Lubaree further protested against the size of the Indemnity, saying that while her husbandT) life could not be measured in value by the standards prevailing in that country which fixed the life of a Chrittlnn at 33 toinans (dollars) and the nu$ximum value of life of a Moslem at 1.$txD tomans, yet the disproportion between the sum demanded with that of sums paid in similar circumstances by other governments was too great, fjho asked that the strongest measures' be taken by the United States government to see that if jtny indemnity is in the end exacted it shall not be extorted by the Persian government from the innocent people of the province where the murder occurred."Acting upon the orders of District Attorney Sullivan. Assistant District Attorney Garry issued another subpoena for the appearance of Grnmmer before the grand Jury. Gramnier was Immediately served with the subpoena. He seemed pleased with the turn of events, which makes It certain that lie is not to be made the scapegoat for violations of the law on the part of others. American Minister Merry, stationed In Sun Salvador; American Charge d'AfPaires PIillliD M. Brown (acting In the absence of Minister Combs, who Is on his way to the United States), and F. (Jamboa, Mexico's minister to all the Central American republics, will be on board to do what they can to bring about permanent peace on the Isthmus. Ill the death of Mr. Beit, the man whoso word controlled the price' of diamonds has passed from the world, lie was by far the most powerful man In the South African diamond trade and aside from this hold 011 the dir. uioud output he had a controlling interest in the gold mines of that country. In the early days of the South African development Mr. Belt became intimately associated In business with Cecil Rhodes.

No sentence has been Imposed upon Brock but it Is expected that he will soon be notified to appear before Judge McPherson for. Accused Out oil Hall VICTIM OF THE BLACK DIAMOND "The switch on the part of the government in finally deciding to summon Grammer as a witness Is explained by the statement made that the single desire of the department of Justice at present is to get at the Standard Oil company. A telegram from District Attorney Sullivan said that nothing was to be left undone to accomplish this purpose. The attorney general Is firmly of the opinion that indictments can lie secured here, and District Attorney Sullivan will resume work with the grand jury with this end in view. The important development of the day aside from the offer of the Marblehead was an assurance to the state department from President Cabrera that Guatemala would refrain from further hostilities if Salvador would undertake to do the same, which news was promptly communicated to Minister Merry at San Salvador in order that lie might transmit the proposition to the government at that place. Wife'* Visit First. The mail Killed at North Tuwanila on Sunday by the Black Diamond express, has been identlflcd by the remains of iiis clothing as Herman Peters. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Eiislia D. Peters, of Waverly, made the Identification. The dead man's father has been employed for some time as a carpenter on the Towanda railroad bridge work.

"Mother! Mother!;' In spite of her protest $30,C)00 was actually paid to her by Persia. Minister Pearson obtained a promise that the money should not lie levied under any guise of special tax from the inhabitants of the province. Lear will not lie summoned until the mandate is returned from the Appellate to the District court, which usually takes 30 days. His bondsmen must then surrender Lear, and an additional live days is then allowed for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. She was before his cell, through Into the semlgloom. peering tate. Blamed For Jameson Raid, "My son, my son, my poor boy!" cried Mrs. Thaw. When the Jameson commission, appointed to investigate the South African raid, met for the purpose of placing the blame for its inauguration Mr. Beit' testified as a witness. He was afterward accused of complicity in the raid itself and aS a result of the accusation tenderM his resignation from the board of directors of the British Chartered South Africa company. His resignation was accepted. A suit was brought against him on the ground that he assisted the raiders by his financial backing, and Ills prosecution was demanded by, the representative of the Transvaal in Europe. She seemed about to faint, and Keeper Smith opened the cell door for the purpose of getting Harry Thaw's stool, that the mother might be seated. PAINFULLY HURT. Honduras and Salvador Allied. BASEBALL Edward Coxe, a Cork Lane resident. in charge of a motor in Butler slope, was injured this morning. The motor was drawing a load of props and lumber. , and in some manner Coxe was squeezed between the car and the motor. His hips were painfully hurt and the lower part of his body severely bruised. He was removed to his home and attended by Dr. Byron. Assistant Secretary of State Adee received advices from Minister Merry that an alliance has been entered Into between Honduras and Salvador. The cablegram did not state whether It Is an offensive and defensive alliance or a political alliance, but it is believed to be a political alliance, entered Into by Honduras to insure It proper consideration In the pence negotiations between Guatemala and Salvador, the original belligerents. "It Is known that the government officials are eager to obtain one more link in the evidence already secured against flic Standard Oil company. A most determined effort will be made to complete the chain through Grammer and Clark. What t lie government officials want particularly Is the names of the Standard OH company officials through whom, it is charged, rebating arrangements were made with the Lake ShoVe and other railroads. With these names in their possession the government will be ready to strike." Kulliiu: of the Court, Games Played Yesterday In National, American and Eastern Leagues. NATIONAL LEAGUE. At St. Louis—NewJYork, 3; St. Louis, 1. Taylor, Bresnahan; I lOprnn, Murray, W. Marshall. The Appellate court's ruling, after an elaborate revision of the evidence, declares that Lear obtained money from the bank without the knowledge of the board of directors and with the connivance of the cashier, procuring it "unlawfully and with Intention to defraud the bank and convert the same to bis own use." Lear was convicted on the third count -of the indictment. and Judge Gray bases his opinion on a demand note of $10,000. The court sustains the contention that tile jury was warranted l»y the evidence in finding that the money was obtained without regard to the security of the bank ami with the intent that the bank should, without its knowledge or consent, take the risk of Lear being able to make a return.The young Plttsburger, who through having a mind of Ills own has proved such a trial to his attorneys, Xfok matters In his own hands. He was out through the door in an Instant aud the next had clasped his mother I11 his powerful grasp.

The government elected to try Lear's case lirst, and a conviction was obtained after two juries had considered the case and announced their inability to agree. After the second trial it was thought that the case would I be dropped, but the government, upsetting precedent, ordered a third trial, and then came the conviction.
