A LEAVE THE British Premier Seriously III, acJ Retirement Would Break the Deadlock Now Existing in Thai Body London, Oct. 20. That 'Premier Asqultu's Illness may ruve so seri ous as to compel his resignation, thus ending the deadlock la the cabinet, was the wowing belief here today. Following l.loyd-Georgo's audience Tuesday with the colonial minister, A. Uonar Uw, conservative leader, who will be premier If Aaqullh, liber al, retires, his majesty today received Sir Edward Carson, resigned attorney general. These conferences were wldoly In terpreted as moaning that a general cabinet shake-up Is at least con sidered. Though It Is not thought that France Is making suggestions r gardlng the British ministry, it Is he llevod the allied military policy was discussed In yesterday's cabinet ses sion, which was attended by French Minister or War Mlllersnd and French Ambassador Cambon. That Asqulth Is losing his Influ ence Is conceded. Even many of his friends openly stated that, though he Is a capable administrator, he Is not the man for the present emergency. The present cabinet deadlock is over the conscription Issue. The pro conscript lontnts have finally agreed upon a plan exempting workers en gaged In munition making, general manufacture, exporting, mining and rollroadlng. This, however, provides that the country shall be divided In to districts and that conscription shall be used In the districts falling to furnish voluntary quotas, The nntl-conserlptlonlHts refused to formulate a bill to this effect Imme diately, to save time if Lord Derby's voluntary plan of stimulating vol unteer enlistments falls. L E Washington, Oct. 20. President Wilson today signed an embargo pro clamation against Bhlpplng arms and ammunition to Mexico to the oppon ents of President Carranza. In a letter to Secretary MoAdoo, directing the enforcement of the em bargo by customs officials, the presi dent suggested, however, an excep tion In favor of Carranza. "I have found that there exist in Mexico conditions of domcBtlo vio lence, promoted by the use of arms and munitions of war procured from the United States," the letter said. "I heroby admonish all citizens of the United States and every person to abstain from violation of tho Joint resolution of congress, and I heroby warn them that all violations will ibe rigorously prosecuted." In a letter from Secretary LnnBlng to the president, permission for Car ranza to receive arms was requested. "Information before this depart ment," the loiter said, "loads me to believe that the recognized de facto government of Mexico has now effec tive control of all ports of entry ex cept those along the International border in Chihuahua and Sonora and Lower California ports." Wm, Mooney arrived last night from Dunsmulr, Cal., and will visit hit lister, Mrs, J. D. otlnebaugh. CARRANZA ENEM ES WIL RECEIVE MQR MUNITIONS GENERAL AIDERSGN.

Attacked by a love-mad cripple, who for years had pursued ber, Mrs. Mary Pamles wife of a United Railways motorman, chased him through her home with a hatchet and then backed bis bead off from bis body. ' - Then she dismembered the body and hid the pieces In a box couch, she confessed today In the presence of ber husband, before Captain of De- Ltectlves Shea. Detectives afterward found the dis membered body as Mrs. Pamles de- scrtoed it. The crime occurred last night in the Pamles' flat at 845 McAllister street. Surrendering herself to the detectives, the 22-year-old wife told them all the gruesome details. The cripple, whose name she gave as Michael Welnstein, aged 23 years, had followed her for years, she said Infatuated with ber after she first met him at Atlantic City, he had per sisted In bis attentions to her, though she was married. Several days ago, she said, she met btm here. The madman begged that she elope and offered her all his money. She- spurned him, she said. Thon last night, while her husband worked. Welnstein hobbled into the house. He pushed $225 at her, and told her he had It all planned to elope with her. Again she refused, according to her story. Infuriated, the cripple attacked her. She fought him. Gradually his grasp upon her tightened In his maniacal fury. She was growing weak. Then with a sudden effort she twisted herself free from him and dashed for the rear of the flat. The hotchet was there. She seized It, as he followed. Seeing the weapon Welnstein turned to escape. But one leg was crippled and as he h6pped downthe hallway she overtook him. He toppled over. The hatchet was raised above her head and she brought It down with a blow which hacked the head completely off. Horror stricken when she realized what she had done, and dreading the law, the glrl-wlfe dragged the body out of Bight. She was tortured. "I could not stay in the house with It any longer," she choked. "I cut the legs and arms off so It would fit in the couch." Haunted by her deed, she fled from the house and wandered through the streets, where, it seemed to her, every one's eyes were upon her. At last she ran into a lodging house, rented a room and telephoned her husband. He left his car immediate ly and hastened to ber, finding her composed but stricken with fear. Sie wanted to. floe the city, but Pamles refused. They argued all night, but finally this morning the girl broke down and told her husband she would go to detective head quarters. There she told her story with remarkable composure, though at times she Bobbed and trembled. CroBs-questloned, she elaborated on the story of the fight, saying the cripple had attacked her with his crutch. Welnstein was a fruit dealer In Atlantlo City, she said. She confessed he wanted some papers from her, but she refused to tell the nature of them. yesterday iby a Holsteln bull, will he shipped to the family at Everett, it was announced today.
