PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY INFLUX OF MEXICANS INTO U.S. VOL. XX. INFLUX MEXI IN San Antonio, Tex, May 6 - The Mexican revolution which has impoverished Mexico and resulted in untold misery and slaughter of human beings, not only now presents a problem for this country, but the influx of Mexican refugees into this country who have fled, and are fleeing from their country to escape conscription, presents a very grave and menacing problem for the Afro-Americans, especially of this state, and even for those as far west as Kansas. These thousands of Mexicans that have arrived and are arriving daily into Texas, constitute a menace to race labor in that they are driving the Afro-Americans, out of employment on city work, public buildings, railroad construction work, farm work and other work upon which he has heretofore almost exclusively been employed. In this city the Mexican population has increased to quite one-third of the total city population. In nearly all the construction work here, and to a large degree throughout the state, the Mexican has driven the Afro-American out because he works cheaper, and is able to live cheaper than the Afro-American being unable to adjust himself to the filth and squalor to which the Mexican peon is indifferent. Not only is the Mexican driving the race out of construction work, but as drivers of delivery wagons, autos, and carts he is doing the same thing. And he is found serving as porter and cleaner around railroad stations. Practically all the railroads running through, as well as city lines, are employing Mexicans on construction work, to the exclusion of Afro-Americans. In Houston, Temple, Waco, Dallas. Fort Worth, and other Texas towns the Mexican peon threatens to supplant Afro-American labor. Even in Missouri and Kansas the Mexican peon as a railroad construction hand is beginning to present a menacing problem for unskilled race labor. The Mexican peon lives cheaply in shacks with scarcely no furniture. So scant is the furniture in their homes that when they decide to vacate one house to occupy another they can almost imitate the legendary Arab, who, in the silence of the night folded his tent and quietly stole away. The mov- --- ing of a Mexican from one house to another is but a matter of a few moments. Many of their homes do not even contain chairs—they squat on the floor as the red men squat in their tepee. There is nothing common between the Mexican peon, who has arrived and is arriving in this state daily, and then slowly but surely moving north ward, and the Afro-American. The Afro-American down here regards himself as being superior to the grossly illiterate and greasy Mexican peon; and the peon, taciturn and seclusive, gives no indication of a desire to affiliate with him. He indicates no desire to affiliate with any race. They are content to be let alone with their own. On all the railroads, no matter how filthy nor dark of skin—the Mexican peon rides in the same coach with the whites, and that too without complaint from the whites, while AfroAmericans, no matter how cleanly and genteelly attired or how cultured, are forced into the same compartment labeled "For Negroes." Verily, the Mexican revolution which has empied into American's melting pot thousands upon thousands of Mexican peons, presents a most seriously menacing problem to the unskilled Afro-American laborer, not alone in this, the Lone Star State. And this menace, fully realized and appreciated by the race, suggests to the local business leagues in this section increased activity, and greater race co-operation. The Mexican who, for the past three years has revealed in the murder and outrage of Americans on Mexican soil, and confiscations of American property located in the Aztec county, are now free to cross the Rio Grande, and once over the divide, southern municipalities, southern railroads and corporations reward these brigands of yesterday with employment, in preference to the Afro-American who heretofore has been the strong willing and docile ox. This country will soon have, if not already a Mexican problem on the north side of the Rio Grande more serious than the one now confronting it on the south side. The Mexican peon who illiteracy is far lower than was the races fifty years ago, and whose instinct training and tendency is inclined to treachery, brigandage, cold- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 State Hist & Nut Hist Books State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO blooded murder and barbaric revolt, has nothing in common with the whites of this section. The "benevolent assimilation" advocated for the Philippines will never appeal to the densely ignorant son of Aztecs. The Afro-American has every reason to regard with grave distrust the influx of thousands of Mexican peons into the United States. C0LORED BOY, 10 GETS $190 A DAY Cushing, Okla., May 6.—Running wild and irresponsible as a colt, little Dan Tucker, ten, a colored boy, lives on a rocky Oklahoma farm of 80 acres, ignorant of the fact he is one of the richest boys in Oklahoma. Little Dan often sings for his supper, but he doesn't have to. The month of March saw deposited to his credit $12,000 and every day he makes not less than $190. Dan is the son of James and Elizabeth Tucker, children of slaves of the Creek Indians freed by the Civil war. By virtue of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek Indians at Ft. Smith, Ark., in 1866, slaves formerly belonging to the Creeks, and their descendants, were given an equal share with their former owners in the government allotment of the old Creek lands in the Indian territory. And that is how Dan Tucker now owns 160 acres of land lying east of Cushing, Okla., in the heart of the newly developed Cushing oil field. The land was allotted to him in a supplementary division made by the government in 1905, and Dan had been enrolled as an eligible by his father. For years the land was reputedly no account. Two years ago, long after Dan's parents had given up hope of return from the land, the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. arranged a lease. Oil now is rushing out of that portion of Creek like water from a lawn sprinkler. Dan gets one-eighth of the gross proceeds from his oil wells and the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. does all the work and stands all the expense of operation. THREE WHITE MEN HELD FOR ASSAULT ON COLORED GIRL (Philadelphia Tribune, May 7) The preliminary trial, preceding what is likely to be a bitterly fought case was held last Saturday before Magistrate Morris, who held the defendants, Joseph Percell, Manager under six hundred; Richard Hughes and William Buchanan, ushers, under four hundred dollar bail, ready to appear in court to answer to a charge of assault and battery brought by Miss Madeleine Davis, who was roughly handled in an uptown moving picture theatre at 19th and Columbia Ave. Seven weeks ago we called the readers' of the Tribune attention to this case. When one of our most cultured and self-respecting young ladies was pulled out of her seat in the threatre, when she refused to set where ordered by the ushers. Miss Davis contented that the management had no right to try to compel her to take any designated seat, where no specified seat was sold. The lower court has sustained Miss Davis's contention, and the principals have been held for court to answer charges of assault and battery. This action will be followed up by civil action against the proprietor of the house. Every means and method was tried to frustrate justice. Josesh Percell, the manager, not only did all in his power to help out the officers hands, but went so far as to purge himself before the court. Miss Davis, speaking to a representative of the Tribune, said, "I feel sure we shall be victorious. The case is so plain. Even if I did refuse to move, they had no right to drag me around as they did." When I asked them why I was requested to move, they simply evaded the question by saying it was the orders of the management." The defending attorney endeavor to make this an appeal, but he was over ruled by the court, who claimed the management was not present to give orders to lay hands on any one. Washington, D. C., May 9. Mr. William Walter Smith, of Philadelphia and Chicago, an expert in concrete work, was in the city last week as the representative of a large contracting firm in the Quaker City.

Bomo, Congo Free State, May 1. —Natives have gone on the warpath killing scores of white people in the Portugues colony of Angela and driving out the missionaries, some of whom are believed to have been murdered. News of the uprising was received here today, the despatches stating that the Portugues garrison had been put to flight. The victims of the natives included men, women and children. Soldiers have been asked for to defend the settlers in the district. Angela lies near the mouth of the Congo River in West Africa, and adjoins Congo Free State. Its chief port is Sao Paula De Loanda. Jacksonville, Fla., May 4.—Sixty eight colored people left Jacksonville for Monrovia, Africa, yesterday, en route from Live Oak, where the colony was organized After possibly two or three generations in the United States, they are going back like the children of Isreal in olden times, to the land of their forefathers, where they expect to settle. Many of the colored people in the party are quite well off. All of them have sold out their lands and possessions, and there is said to be a total of some $25,000 in the crowd, mostly carried in the form of drafts. Thirteen of the crowd are children. Harry T. Burleigh, the well-known colored baritone soloist of St. George's Church, New York, and composer of fifty songs, two festival anthems, a set of six short piano pieces on Southern themes, and a volume of plantation songs, will appear in recital at the Hampton gymnasium on Wednesday evening, May 20, at 8 o'clock, under the auspices of the Hampton Choral Union, which consists of all the choirs of the Hampton colored churches. Mr. Burleigh will be assisted by the Hampton Institute Chorus of 800 voices, the Hampton Institute choir, the Hampton Choral Union, Prof. NO 38 William O. Tessman who is in charge of the Hampton Institute cadet band and R. Nathaniel Dett, director of music at the Hampton School. There are some sixty thousand Negroes in Chicago. The number has doubled in the last 15 years. This increase has come almost wholly from the South. This fact has to be considered in every problem which has to do with church comity. The social and economic pressure which stimulated this migration is increasingly active in spite of the fact that in the last ten years the Negro has gradually lost almost every occupation that was originally his in the northern cities. Chicago, however, still has the reputation "of offering the largest liberty to all citizens of all colors and languages of any community in the North." Over forty five thousand of these Negroes live on Chicago's South side. In the district bordered on the north by Twenty-seventh street and on the south by Fifty-seventh street, extending three blocks eastward and westward are ten of the leading Negro Baptist churches and seven Baptist missions with an aggregate membership of 6,000, and with a Sunday school attendance that would add 2,000 more. The newly-organized African Union Company, which is to handle the mahogany products of Africa's Gold Coast, ought to be a monumental success. A big trade with England and Germany is already assured, through the reputation gained by the operations of the former management. The company controls 100,000 fine mahogany trees, said to be worth several millions of dollars. It is but natural that a corporation of Negroes should take hold of this kind of an investment, with the best prospects for rich returns. The official roster includes the names of a score of the best known colored men in America. The drive-wheel of the organization is Gen. Joseph L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vice-Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, Supreme Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, and First Vice President of the National Negro Press Association. Gen. Jones is secretary and sales agent of the African Union Company, and his record for honest, reliability and energy is a guarantee that the new institution will live up to its highest possibilities.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Cutting corn stalks for fodder at the 600-acre Hampton institute farm, called "Shellbanks," where some four hundred acres are under cultivation and 35 students are constantly employed. The Negro Baptist churches, writes a Chicago correspondent, face a difficult moral and social problem in the life of the, community. It is only fair to say that much of this condition has been forced upon them. The worst side of the city has been left for them, and their principal street was for a long time the prolongation of our "White Hell" where is permitted barter in human bodies. It is not strange that over seven thousand five hundred negro men are employed in saloons and pool-rooms, or that their chief arterial street which stands in the very center of their social and business life, is just "one saloon after another." The influences of these demoralizing institutions upon their moral life, as well as other familiar and local institutions of even a lower type, is indescribable. We wonder if the negro youth trained in the religion of his home church far away, or even the youth of the present city churches, is trained to meet this. We are told that many of the people who come here were taught that religion was chiefly a state of personal joy and happiness. Anything that made them happy was allied to religion. The idea of the moral restraints and the social securities that are born of true religion are not sufficiently emphasized. To be happy, to be joyful, is to be religious, and to be secure. What a field of easy failure must open up before such a young life when transferred to the gaily-lighted streets, the challenging music of saloons and cafes, and the richly-dressed women of the street; and how easily the traps may be set for a life that measures religion chiefly in terms of feeling, and falls away from its institutions and practises the moment that inner joy and happiness seems to be broken on the anvil of failure. A stranger in Rahway, N. J., bought a bag of potatoes and a 15-pound ham at a grocery store the other day and left them on the back doorstep of an aged resident named Thompson Thorne. With the supplies was this note: "This is returned to you today in honor of the fifty-first anniversary since you gave the same to an old, hungry soldier at Valley Springs, Va., during the Civil war." In Booker Washington's opinion race prejudice is no longer as violent as it was. By this he does not mean that the gulf between the races is being bridged—or should be bridged. But the black man no longer regards the white man as his natural enemy, nor does the white man scorn the colored man as he once did. "I used to hate all whites," said Washington, "but I got over that. That dwarfed and handicapped me. I have no time now to give to hate." "Uncle Jake," said he, "had been attending a conference. He found that he had but ten minutes to catch his train for home. So he called a back. "I'm sorry, uncle,' said the driver, 'but I've never hauled a colored man in this hack. If any one were to see you in it, it would ruin me.' "White man,' said Uncle Jake, 'I can't got no time for talkin'. I des natchely got to catch that train. You git in de back seat and cock you hat on the back of your head and smoke dis se-gar—and I'll git on de front seat and dribe de horse. Dataway you get your quarter—and I'll git my train." ```markdown ``` In an endeavor to increase the rice production of the Philippines the insular government is colonizing fertile but thinly inhabited valleys with natives taken from less fertile but more densely populated localities. More than 35,000 Irishmen left the ould sod last year. Chile imports more than one hundred cattle annually from Argentina. London has more than fifty public baths. Who would have supposed that the number of negro citizens whose names are on the payroll of the United States reached as high as 22,540? Of the colored citizens on Uncle Sam's payroll 4,526 are in the army, 1,529 are in the navy, and 2,140 are in the various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 6,347 are employed in Washington, and the remainder work in the government buildings throughout the United States. More minute statistics on the subject are supplied in a Washington dispatch as follows: Twenty-seven negroes are employed in the White House, 26 in the state department, 926 in the treasury, 170 in the war department, 174 in the navy department, 87 in the post office department, 43 in the department of justice, 164 in the department of agriculture, 239 in the government printing office, 41 in the interstate commerce commission, 115 in the senate office building, 46 in the congressional library, 171 in the Washington post office and 2,413 in the District of Columbia local government. In the department service outside of Washington 16 negroes are employed in the diplomatic and consular service, 1,082 in the treasury branches, 2,343 in the war department, 3,599 in the post office department, 31 in the interior department, 102 in the department of agriculture and 775 miscellaneously. There are 635 negroes employed by the government in New York, 670 in Chicago, 195 in St. Louis, from forty to ninety in the other large cities of the country, and 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. The aggregate sum drawn from the treasury in each year by colored employees is $12,576,760. Of the few American negroes who have found their way to West Africa to settle in the negro republic of Liberia 99 per cent are unprepared to meet the economic conditions and express regret at having left America. These, excepting a few who can not secure passage money, return to the United States. Some have been assisted by the American consul in securing passage on sailing vessels returning to America. Few, other than well-educated American negroes, can accommodate themselves to the existing racial, religious and economic conditions, the natives always considering them foreigners. There are some sixty thousand negroes in Chicago. The number has doubled in the last 15 years. This increase has come almost wholly from the South. This fact has to be considered in every problem which has to do with church comity. The social and economic pressure which stimulated this migration is increasingly active in spite of the fact that in the last ten years the negro has gradually lost almost every occupation that was originally his in the northern cities. Chicago, however, still has the reputation, "of offering the largest liberty to all citizens of all colors and languages of any community in the North." Over forty-five thousand of these negroes live on Chicago's South side. In the district bordered on the north by Twenty-seventh street, and on the south by Fifty-seventh street, extending three blocks eastward and westward are ten of the leading negro Baptist churches and seven Baptist missions with an aggregate membership of 6,000, and with a Sunday school attendance that would add 2,000 more. The Swiss department of the interior is considering the advisability of establishing a central office for promoting foreign tourist traffic in Switzerland. It is proposed to call in a commission of experts and other interested persons in 1914 for consideration of the proposition to be presented by the department.

PRESENT STRIKE COST FIGURES SUBMITTED TO THE COLORADO LEGISLATORS. Adjutant General's Office Denies That Militia Campaign Has Been More Expensive Than Others. Denver.—Denial was made at the adjutant general's office of the charge to the effect that the recent militia campaign in the southern coal strike has cost the state more on total expense and on the average per diem a man than any previous militia campaign in the history of the state. The following tables were compiled by the adjutant general's office and were presented and read before the House: Colorado City, March 3 to March 26, 1903: Number of men, 4,710. Pay: $10,164.00 Subsistence, transportation. Average per day. $4.84. Cripple Creek, Sept. 4, 1903, to Oct. 10. Total ..... $402,855.14 Average per day, $6.79.

State's Winter Wheat Above Average. Denver.—The United States Department of Agriculture, in its May crop report, predicts that the yield of Colorado's winter wheat fields will be 40 per cent more per acre than the average for the United States. This will be true, says the report, despite the fact that the average wheat yield of the nation will be unusually high this year. The average yield of wheat for the nation as indicated by the May conditions of the crops, will be 17.8 bushels to the acre. The average yield for Colorado wheat fields as indicated will be 24.7 bushels to the acre, 17 per cent above last year's yield. This year, according to the government report a total of 4,800,000 bushels will be harvested from 194,000 acres of Colorado land. Four Extraditions Granted. Denver. — Governor Ammons has granted four extraditions for persons against whom criminal charges are pending in other states. Two were for Mopie Woods and Florence Tracy, who are charged with grand larceny in Sangamon county, Ill. The third was for M. Feuerbaum, who is accused of having committed forgery in Los Angeles. The fourth was on extradition requested by the governor of Nebraska for the return to that state of Jacob Crockford, who is charged with hog stealing. Veterans Keep Mothers' Day. Denver.—The patriotic societies of the city joined in the service at the Central Christian church in honor of Mothers' Day. Governor and Mrs. Ammons went to the church with the G. A. R. post of the city, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Confederate Veterans and the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy. Especial music was given and the church was beautifully decorated. Dr. George B. Van Arsdall paid a tribute to motherhood and its part in the history and progress of the nation. Single Tax Measure Proposed. Denver.—A proposed amendment to the state constitution providing a single tax for paying expenses of the state in restoring order and peace in industrial disputes through a complete reorganization of the state's system of tax assessments was introduced in the State Senate by Senator Harvey Garman by request. Pageant Committee at Work. Denver.—The committee in charge of the Indian pageant for 1915 is working actively on plans for the monster festival, and it is probable that Berkeley park or Inspiration point will be the stage of the celebration. The exhibition probably will last from June until October. The estimated cost of the carnival is $175,000. There is about $12,000 now in the treasury. Commission Wants Pay Held Up. Denver.—The Civil Service Commission has served notice that the bills for the pay of House and Senate employees will not be approved or paid unless the persons appointed to these positions first take the civil service examination. It required three months for the commission to rate the papers in the examination of applicants for the position of state boiler inspection, which situation promises another tangle in the complicated net of affairs at the state house. MASSES TROOPS FOR LAST STAND HUERTA PROVISIONS PUEBLA CITY WHERE HE WILL FIGHT UNTIL DRIVEN TO FLIGHT. SHIPS GOLD FOR EXILE MEXICO'S DICTATOR HOPES TO QUIT COUNTRY IN BLAZE OF GLORY. Washington.—That General Huerta, preparing for a crisis in his dictatorship, has long been planning to leave Mexico City with his troops and make a last stand at Puebla, midway between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, was understood to have been told President Wilson by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former charge of the American embassy in the Mexican capital. The President, it is said, was informed that Huerta had picked Puebla for his last refuge in case rebel assailants get too close to Mexico City, and that late developments in the revolution had caused him already to begin fortifying and provisioning Puebla. Mr. O'Shaughnessy is said to have told the President that Huerta had no intention of resigning, but that the Mexican dictator realized that his regime could not stand long. At Puebla, according to plans said to have been determined on months ago, he would fight rather than consent to elimination. Realizing that he eventually must be deposed, Huerta, it is said, desires to acquire as much glory as possible before the inevitable happens. Mr. O'Shaughnessy is said further to have told the President that the number of troops which Huerta has at his command is greatly exaggerated, and that, as a matter of fact, they number only 4,000 to 6,000 men. Neither Zapata nor Villa would have any great difficulty in taking the city, is understood to be the view Mr. O'Shaughnessy expressed. His information is along the line of other reports reaching the government within the last few weeks. Further information from these sources is that Huerta has been shipping gold abroad, in contemplation of his ultimate exile. Washington.—Stirred to action by continued statements that Private Parks was tortured and executed by Mexican Federals, both the War and State Departments took steps to ascertain the truth. Secretary Garrison instructed General Funston to get information from General Maas regarding the orderly's fate. Simultaneously the State Department asked the Brazilian minister at Mexico City to obtain similar information from Huerta. General Funston believed Parks has been executed. Secretary Garrison made it very clear that drastic steps will be taken if the reports of Parks' torture and death are confirmed. "If polite, decent measures fall," he said, "then we will take the next step. If he was tortured, it was an act of barbarism, whether war was on or not. We do not want to make any misstep in a delicate situation. We do not want to inflame the country. Consequently in all we have done thus far is to ask information, for we feel that the initial responsibility lies with the private for deserting his command. Of course, we feel that he must have been insane, but we have no proof of the reason for his departure." HAMROCK'S MEN VINDICATE HIM. Lieutenants Testify That Major Did Not Order Tent Colony Burned. Golden, Colo.—Testimony tending to exonerate members of the state militia from the charge of deliberately burning the strikers' tent colony at Ludlow, April 20, when two women and eleven children lost their lives, was offered at the first session of the court martial proceedings against Major Patrick J. Hamrock. Charges of murder, manslaughter, arson and larceny in connection with the destruction of the tent colony, were read against Hamrock. To each the defendant militia officer entered a plea of not guilty. He waived the aid of counsel. Dr. F. R. Smith Heads Shriners. Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. Frederick R. Smith of Damascus Temple, Rochester, N. Y., was elected Imperial Potentate of the Imperial Council, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at its annual conclave here. Dr. Smith succeeds William W. Irwin of Wheeling, W. Va. Total of 3,000 Guns Given Up. Trinidad, Colo., May 14.—The time limit for the surrender of arms to the federal troops in southern Colorado expired, with more than 3,000 rifles, pistols and shotguns and approximately 66,000 rounds of ammunition in the troops' possession. All arms in the hands of civilians are now subject to confiscation. Danish Consul Dles at Chicago. Chicago.—C. H. Hanson, Danish consul, died here. He was 72 years old.

THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT, Neal Dow admits that "Prohibition does not prohibit," and we are compelled to indorse the truism of his expression from our wide and varied experience on the liquor question in this country, and especially in the state of Colorado. In our issue of the 2nd, inst., we clearly showed that a state-wide prohibition for our state would fall very short of its intention, and gave such ideas to the public proving the fallacy of the leaders of the movement, who in their anxiety to become famous, are letting go the substance and grasping at the shadow. It is argued that the purpose of prohibition is to decrease to a great extent the use of intoxicating beverages, and yet, the provisions set forth for the use of liquor give a wide scope and latitude to the wealthy and those higher up, to furnish themselves any quantity they desire for their consumption. Such actions cannot be classed in anything short of fanaticism, and the wouldbe reformers who are trying not only to use the Democratic party conveniently as a great ally to their cause, but are carrying things to such an extent as to interfere with the right and liberty of the American citizen, must be made to understand that the people will not contribute to any such visionary and fanatical idea. State-wide prohibition, based upon its present false premises, is contrary to reason, contrary to nature; in fact, an insult to our manhood and destructive to the progress of any people or nation in an age like this. As far back as we can go we can find records of the use of wine and the objects of culture for the production and manufacture of same, and we cannot help from wondering whether these reformers are really serious in their new-fangled idea. To put it plainly, we are firm in our opinion that it is a useless proposition; and as a remedy for drunkenness, state-wide prohibition is powerless, as although it is declared by Representative Hobson, introducer of the resolution for a constitutional amendment for national prohibition, that 55 per cent of the American people are living in prohibition territory, yet the following figures given us by the New York Times (which is certainly not a "liquor-interest organ") go to prove undoubtedly a steady increase in the per capita consumption of liquor throughout the country. The consumption in 1850 was 4.08 gallons, but it rose to 6.43 in 1860; to 7.70 in 1870; to 10.08 in 1910, and in 1912 was 21.98 gallons, increasing to 22.66 gallons in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913. It can clearly be seen that the people claim the right to act for themselves and by themselves in this particular, and they are determined not to be interfered with in their temperate use of liquor. It is high time that the Democratic party who is the major element in the government, open their eyes to what is sure to be a gigantic failure; and what with the present program—Mexican trouble, Panama tolls and other important features now before Congress—the should wake up and not be made the tools of those who are continuously endeavoring to bring about laws to disturb the peace, good will and harmony of the American nation. The responsibility of any prohibition resolution passed by Congress will rest on the Democrats, for they are in control of the house. In Colorado we will send our wouldbe reformers to learn another lesson from their text-book of two years ago, when they made such a dismal failure in their attempt with the City and County of Denver, and we urge on all the people to weigh this matter of state-wide prohibition well in their minds, when they will soon discover that the whole matter is fraught with evil intent, unchristian in character, and last but not least, antagonistic to the Divine order—"Take ye therefore a little wine for thy stomach's sake"—an expression from one of the greatest characters of Biblical history will still be adhered to by us, and we are sanguine in our opinion that the people of Colorado will assert with emphasis when they go to the polls that they have the right to guide their habits and cater to their domesticity.

At our next month's get-together social even a larger crowd is expected. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Our pastor's sermon topics for tomorrow will be as follows: 11 a. m., "Sign of Degeneracy"; 8 p. m., "A Young Man Who Had His Eyes Opened." Mothers' Day was observed last Sabbath. The appropriate sermon by the minister, the sweet solo, "Tell Mother I'll Be There," by Mrs. Lillian Hawkins Jones, and the blessed memory of hundreds of sainted mothers now beyond the river, all conspired to make the service impressive. White carnations, the emblems of the day, were in evidence throughout the day. The Sunday School and League emphasized the day also. The Annual Thanksgiving Service of the G. U. of O. F. in the afternoon has been the subject of most flattering comment. Much credit is due Grand Master P. E. Spratlin, Master of Ceremonies Chas. E. Burton and Messrs. Geo. S. Contee, F. T. Bruce, T. S. Rector, Walter Cooper, C. S. Hall, R. M. Johns and Mesdames D. H. Williams, Lillie Williams and Hattie D. Payne for the efficient management of the exercises. Odd Fellowship in Denver enjoys the distinction of having a very high per cent of the representative citizens of this community. Brother Stephen B. F. Lowe preached a very acceptable sermon Sunday evening. Brother Lowe is a local preacher of Shorter and he enjoys the confidence and best wishes of the community.

It is gratifying to report all of them convalescing. Joseph Ward arrived home this week from Nashville, Tenn., where he has been attending school. What Progress? How do you measure your stature as compared with a year ago? By the size of your bank account, by the applause you have won, by the wider knowledge you have gained, by the ideals you have reached, by what you have achieved for humanity? Compared with a year ago, what are you today as the result of moral reaction that the world's efforts have created within you?—School Education. Uncle Sam "Sizes Up" Employes.

To make buns put two cupfuls of fine flour in a large basin. Mix one teaspoonful of confectioners' sugar in another basin with half an ounce of compressed yeast, and stir in a gill and a half of tepid milk. Make a well in the flour, and strain in the yeast and milk, mixing as if for batter. Cover the basin with a cloth and set it by the fire for half an hour or so, till it is covered with bubbles. Meanwhile put two breakfast cupfuls of flour in a third basin and rub into it four ounces of butter. Add three ounces of currants or sultanas picked and washed, two ounces of candied peel cut fairly small, three tablespoonfuls of confectioners' sugar and about a teaspoonful of mixed ground spice, and mix all well together. Then gradually beat these dry ingredients into the flour and yeast, using the hand, and adding tepid milk as required till the dough is of the right consistency, thick and ropy, but not crumply. Cover the basin again, set it in a warm place for an hour and a half, when the dough should have risen to twice the original size. Flour the hands, make the dough into small or larger balls, according to the size required, put these on a greased tin, well apart, set them in a warm place for 20 minutes to "rise," and then bake in a quick oven for 20 minutes or so, till well browned. Brush them over with beaten eggs and strew with confectioners' sugar. THIS JELLY CHEAP AND GOOD Idea Evolved by Clever Housewife, Which She Is Passing on for Others' Use. My supply of home-made jellies was about used up, and, as we do not care for orange marmalade, I use the following in place of "bought" jellies. It is cheaper and purer and is enjoyed by both grown-ups and the children: Take rind of two lemons, juice of four lemons, two cupfuls sugar, two eggs and two tablespoonfuls corn-starch or flour; add one teaspoonful butter and two cupfuls boiling water. Mix thoroughly and cook in a double boiler until thick, stirring constantly. This amount makes seven jelly-glassfuls and costs about 18 cents. It can be made a little thicker and used for cake filling or pies. I often put a thick layer between two layers of sponge cake and use a little pulverized sugar on top when I want a layer cake in a hurry.—Exchange. Saving the China. A Washington housewife, with an eye to preserving her dishes from destruction, has devised a simple bumper to put about the faucet, so that dishes coming in contact with it in the sink will be uninjured. She took a heel from an old rubber boot, cut a hole of the proper size in it with a chisel and hammer, and put it around the end of the faucet; and now dishes and delicate glass tumblers can be knocked against it with perfect impunity. Winding a piece of rubber from an old rubber shoe around the faucet and tying it there would be just as effective. Finnan Haddie Rarebit. Broil the fish; pour boiling water over it and let it stand on the stove where it will not boil for ten minutes. Drain off the water and remove the bones and skin. Flake into small pieces with a fork and add to it the following sauce: One tablespoonful of butter and one tablespoonful of flour blended together, add one cup of milk and cook five minutes. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce and three-fourths cupful of grated cheese. Serve on slices of toast. Roast Mutton, Breton Style. The Breton way of serving roast mutton is to push a clove of garlic into the knuckle end of the leg and to serve with a garnish of red beans. The beans are soaked and slowly boiled until tender, then drained and turned into the pan with the meat an hour before the latter is done. Or, after draining, the beans are lightly fried in a little dripping and chopped onion and heaped round the meat as it is ready for serving. To Sweeten Grapefruit. A novel way of sweetening grapefruit is the use of honey in place of sugar. If the fruit is to be used for breakfast, prepare it the night before, loosening the pulp from the skin and membrane, then pour over it enough honey to cover. In the morning the flavor will be found excellent. Standard Cake. Half cupful of molasses, four even tablespoonfuls butter, one-half cupful milk, one cupful flour, three teaspoonfuls (even) baking powder, one-half teaspoonful cinnamon, one-quarter teaspoonful cloves, one saltspoonful gutmeg. Burnt Milk. When milk has been burned, pour it at once into a pitcher and stand it in a basin of cold water until it is cool, when it will be found to be free from taste.

HEMLOCK IS DEADLY Water Species Most Poisonous Plant of Temperate Zone. However, Its Tops and Seeds in Hay Will Not Harm Cattle, as the Roots Contain Most of the Poison. Washington.—Although the roots of the plant known as the "water hemlock" contain a deadly poison, its tops and seeds in hay will not harm cattle, according to scientists of the United States department of agriculture. These scientists, whose specialty it is to investigate plants from which drugs and poisons are taken, have been compiling data on this plant, which is one of the most deadly known in America. The department has just issued a bulletin (No. 69) containing a comprehensive statement of these experiments and entitled "Cicuta or Water Hemlock." Besides its scientific name "Clcuta" and its more popular name "water hemlock," the plant is known in various localities as "cowbane," "wild parsley," "snakeroot," "spotted hemlock," "snakeweed" and "beaver poison." In New Mexico it has been known as "pecos." The plant has also popular German names, as it is found in Germany. The plants grow in wet places such as swamps and irrigating ditches in nearly all of our northern and western states. When the root of the plant is cut open drops of an aromatic oil are seen. These give the root a peculiar odor and are popularly thought to be the source of the poison. The poison is indeed in the root, but is secreted in the form of a resin which is distinct from the oil. Although the poison is most deadly, the fact that it is confined to the roots rather than extending to the tops and seeds accounts for the fact that it causes but comparatively few deaths. The total loss from such weeds as "loco" and "larkspur" is much greater. There have been relatively few human beings poisoned by this weed in America. Most of those afflicted have been children who have been poisoned in the spring, when the dangerous element in the plant seems most active. Cases of such poison are recorded in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. The total number is very small, five cases for instance, having been reported in one year in Montana, of which four were fatal. Cases of cattle poisoned In this country have been noted in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and North Dakota. Individual owners of stock have occasionally lost very heavily. One man in Oregon estimated the loss in his immediate neighborhood for one year at ten per cent. Another estimates the average annual loss in Oregon at 100 head. The loss of 30 head of cattle and 80 sheep was reported one year in Montana. The losses are of course inconsiderable, compared with losses from other causes. It is usually assumed that a plant containing an element having such a pronounced effect on the human organism has useful medicinal properties. Much attention has been given, to the violent poison of water hemlock. It has been known in Europe since the middle of the sixteenth century and has been tried as a remedy for various diseases with various effects. In Norway it has been used for gout. It has even been used as a poultry for local pains. American Indians, when tired of life, are said to have poisoned themselves with it. The dangers that accompany its use may be drawn from the following description of the results of water hemlock poisoning: There is first a pain, particularly in the stomach, but it may be general in character. Nausea is sometimes followed by violent vomiting or spasmodic attempts to vomit without result. Dilated pupils, diarrhea, labored breathing, frothing at the mouth and gnashing of the teeth, are other symptoms. Convulsions may be followed by unconsciousness or death. The symptoms in the lower animals are like those in man, except that they are less marked. Only a small quantity of the poison is necessary to produce death with all its attendant agonies. The symptoms as described above are quite different from those produced by the drug plant called hemlock, with which the ancient Greeks were familiar. A description of the death of Socrates from the Greek hemlock poison is given in great detail by Plato. The Greeks used this poison to do away with criminals; it was also used by suicides. The "water hemlock" of more temperate regions was probably given its name merely because it resembled the Greek plant in being deadly poisonous. There is no actual relation between the two plants. As patients have usually recovered when attempts to vomit were successful, the logical remedy is considered by scientists to be an emetic. If this is given promptly with the first symptoms a favorable recovery may be expected. The emetic is logically followed by a cathartic to rid the body completely of the dangerous principle. When convulsions are violent some form of opium may be given to con- trol them, but the main reliance must be placed upon the emetic. This has been the treatment used throughout the whole history of poisoning from this plant. Little can be accomplished for poisoned live stock, as the convulsions are so violent that it is difficult to give any remedy. Hypodermic injections of morphine to control the convulsions have been recommended by certain authorities, who advise giving sheep one and one-half grains, and the cattle and horses three to ten grains. strengthening the hand of the administrator they act as a deterrent to efficiency. This is the opinion of Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general of the United States public health service. Dr. Rucker's views were given upon the administration of public health laws, but many public officials will be willing to let them apply to all laws which are poorly enforced. Speaking of the factors upon which the efficiency of public health administration depends, Dr. Rucker says: "One of the most useful things which could be done in furthering the cause of public health would be a revision of the sanitary law, and the repeal of laws which are impractical of administration, or which, if administered, would defeat the purpose for which they were enacted. It may be argued that this would be a tearing down rather than an upbuilding process, and that, in repealing these defective laws, nothing would be placed in their stead. "In the great mass of sanitary legislation at present to be found on our statute books there is one noticeable omission. Few of the states have an efficient law for the collection of morbidity statistics. We have been marvelously illogical with regard to our vital statistics. We have collected data upon births, marriages and deaths, none of which conditions is particularly dangerous to the public health, and have almost entirely lost sight of the sick man, who is the point from which most human diseases are disseminated. "Once a person is dead his dangerousness is lost, and so far as practical he is an almost negligible factor. It is the living carrier of disease which is dangerous. Morbidity reports, particularly of the communicable diseases, show the location of cases which constitute foci from which disease may be spread to the well. The collection of morbidity reports thus makes it possible to know where to take the proper precautions for the protection of persons who may be exposed to a given disease, and therefore acts as a prophylactic measure for the community at large. "This has an intensely practical bearing, because it not only makes it possible to prevent the spread of disease, but also enables this to be done at the minimum expense and with the minimum of effort. This is efficiency in its highest phase. There is also a humanitarian aspect of the question. The knowledge of the occurrence of disease makes it possible to see that the sick receive proper treatment, not only from a preventive, but also from a curative standpoint." "The proportion of the wholly illiterate adults among the population of the United States is a national disgrace which can Nation Disgraced By Illiteracy. eliminated," declared a unanimous report recently from the house education committee on the Lever bill to investigate illiteracy. The bill, which carries no appropriation, authorizes the commissioner of education to cooperate, in a concerted movement involving field and clerical service, with the states, individuals and associations to "obliterate the stain and reproach of illiteracy." Commissioner Claxton of the federal bureau of education has expressed the belief that illiteracy could be cut to a fraction of one per cent, and Representative Towner of Iowa in submitting the committee report, predicted it would be accomplished with little delay. The report of the commissioner shows the number of illiterates in the United States to be 3,184,954 whites ten years old or more at the census of 1910, exceeding the population of the country in 1800. The distribution ranges from 17 per 1,000 people in Iowa to 290 per 1,000 in Louisiana. In the South, the report adds, the percentage is highest in the rural districts, and in the North it is highest in the cities. Boston has 24,468 illiterates over ten years old. "There are 2,273,603 illiterate males of twenty-one years and over in the United States," it pointed out, "or enough to determine any national election at any period of United States history" France, by quick, concerted action, reduced its number of adult illiterates from 45 in 100 to 5 in 100, the report adds. California foxes can climb trees, according to A. M. Powell in an article in Outdoor Life. Mr. Powell says: "That California foxes can climb trees has been proven to my satisfaction. I once doubted their ability to ascend any but leaning trees or those with spreading limbs, but I finally found that my hounds treed them when trees were straight and it was forty feet to the first limb." WIFE IS TEXAS CONGRESSMAN'S SECRETARY SENATOR KERN FAILED TO MAKE IMPRESSION SENATOR KERN FAILED TO MAKE IMPRESSION THIS REPRESENTATIVE WAS ELECTED BY MAIL THIS REPRESENTATIVE WAS ELECTED BY MAIL WHEN CONGRESSMAN'S SON RAN FOR FAMILY Thirteen years ago a young Texas lawyer decided to run for congress. run for congress. This seemed to his wife a recklees, almost a fool hardy thing for him to do, for they were very poor. And as everybody knows, politics is not a poor man's recreation. However, the congressional race once entered, this particular man, John N. Garner, was in to win, and his wife was at his side to help him. Mrs. Garner went into the office that served as cam- CHRISTINE L. BURKE palign headquarters and that was managed by her husband's law partner. She did clerical work and any other sort of work that happened to be needed, going about her duties as clerk and assistant campaign manager in a quiet, businesslike way. This was 13 years ago, as has been said. Representative Garner has now been a member of the house of representatives for 12 years. During the time his only secretary has been his wife. Mrs. Garner learned typewriting and shorthand in order to fill the position. She has a business office in her home, and, unlike most women who are also home makers, she works by businesslike methods. Senator Kern is the authority for this story. Read it. It's a good one; and if any of the excellence is lost, it is because of the way it is told, not because of the facts: A. B. Picture to yourself the family of a newly made congressman, mother and daughter particularly, decked out in the best that their town could furnish. In the height of their delight as they enter Washington the whirling circles of their imagination cause them to believe the bands are playing and the buds are bursting a little wider just because of the new arrivals. It was a pair just like this who were only recently introduced to Senator Kern; and on the sacred honor of the senator's own beard this is what happened: "Are you in congress?" asked the daughter. "Well, I happen to be in the senate," was the reply of the leader of the administration party in the upper house. Even that did not make a dent in the crust of the new arrivals. They just swelled out and spread their feathers, like birds of paradise, and A new member from Michigan is Representative Francis O. Lindquist. The story of his life reads like a romance. His parents were Swedish immigrants to a little lumbering town in Wisconsin, and he left school when in the third grade. His youth was spent in working around lumber yards, docks and hotels, and at last he wound up in Greenville, Mich. NO SHORE & IWK Ten years ago he was pushing barrows of feed around a store in that town for a dollar and a half a day; and after a few months at that he saved the sum of $40. With this sum he set up in business in a small store for himself, and did so well that at the end of two years he began to put into practise an immense plan, Carter Glass of Lynchburg, when a boy, was of such sturdy activities that he won the nickname of Pluck. No game was too rough for his indomitable energy; and when the other boys beat him at a game of ball he generally chased his victorious foes off the ground with his bat. And "Pluck" he is today to most of his old friends in the hilly city. Odd, but true, that Glass, chairman of the currency committee of the house. name of Pluck. No game was too rough for his indomitable energy; and when the other boys beat him at a game of ball he generally chased his victorious foes off the ground with his bat. And "Pluck" he is today to most of his old friends in the hilly city. Odd, but true, that Glass, chairman of the currency committee of the house, and Owen, chairman of the same thing in the senate, are both Lynchburg boys. Mr. Glass gets some interesting let- Mrs. Garner protests that there is nothing remarkable in any woman's filling such a position capably. Perhaps not. But, in addition to this, she is a housekeeper, teaches a Sunday school class and never misses a prayer meeting at church, and then finds time to enjoy a normal social life as well. "If I seem to you to accomplish anything worth while," Mrs. Garner said to her interviewer, "it is only because I have learned system. System, I think, is the secret of efficiency, and one which we women find especially hard to learn. You ask if I do my own marketing. Certainly I do. But I could not without being very systematic about it. For instance, I always market on certain days of the week and at a certain hour. This hour, if you would like to know it, happens to be before breakfast. On market days I take care to order'provisions for the entire week, so that it may not be necessary to run to the telephone frequently on other days for conferences with the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. "The servant problem? I have never had it to cope with, so I cannot enlighten you on that score. I only know that systematic housekeeping and a certain consideration for servants does much to lighten their labors and to keep them satisfied with their work." Representative and Mrs. Garner have one son, a young man eighteen years old, who is a student at George Washington university. the odd part of it was that the company present consisted of a large assortment of representatives, senators and their families. There wasn't a private citizen present. Nevertheless, the mother and daughter took turns impressing the crowd. "We have an electric automobile," said the daughter. And even that didn't make a hit. Motor vehicles are less of a sensation here than they are in that woman's town, evidently. And then the garrulous mother began on politics and, turning on Senator Kern, she began a wonderful but rather gabby Democratic speech. In the midst of it she stopped. "What city did you say you were from?" "Indianapolis," said Senator Kern. "What state is that in?" chirped the daughter. "Indiana," promptly replied Senator Kern. "Well," continued the mother, "I hope you're not for Bryan. We're not. Of course, we're Democrats, but we are distinctly not for Bryan." "Say, do you happen to know Bryan?" This last was shot at Senator Kern very abruptly. "Well," he replied, thoughtfully, "I guess I could say that I do know him. You see, I ran for the vice-presidency on the same ticket on which he ran for the presidency." And even that did not make any impression. which succeeded so well that he is now the president of a large men's clothing concern. His force, when he "set up" eight years ago, consisted of himself and a second-hand machine in the back of his store. Today there are ten girls simply to sort the mail received, which every day amounts to thousands of letters. When the contest was on, more than a year ago, in Michigan Lindquist determined to come to congress. He wanted this country to have a pure fabric law as regards goods and leather, similar to that passed for pure food. To make himself known he sent out by mail hundreds of thousands of personal letters, and the result placed him in congress. Wishing to enlist the aid of the president, Linquist went to the White House last fall with a box of samples of adulaterated goods. But the secret service officer stopped him at the door, and it was only by displaying his wares that he secured an entrance. "The next time I go," he explained, "I will take my goods in an open-work hamper." ters from his constituents, as the following will show: "Please send me a span of mules from the agricultural department—also a pair of crutches for my rheumatism." When Mr. Glass ran for the Virginia senate and was beaten by what is known as the "machine" in the state, his boy was a college student of great achievement on the athletic field. One day the lad went to Baltimore to attend a track meet and came home with a medal. When he entered the dining room in which his paternal ancestor sat discussing some old ham and waffles, the boy threw his trophy on the table in front of his father, saying: "Well, dad, you see there is some one in the family who can run if you can't!" Glass has worn that medal on his watch chain ever since. Female clerks in the British postal service only receive half as much pay as the male clerks The Monarch Liquor Co.

DOOM STRIKES IN NIGHT RESCUERS RUSHED INTO RUINS TO SAVE SCORES BURIED BENEATH WRECKAGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Catania, Sicily, May 11.—An earthquake Friday night brought death and destruction to many villages near Mt. Aetna. The number of dead is officially given as 139, with about 350 injured; but a large portion of the devastated territory has not been inspected. The affected zone extends from Zaffarana, the highest village on Mt. Aetna, to the sea between Acl Rosalea on the south and Giarre on the north. It includes Linera, the center of the disturbance, Pisano and Santa Venerina. In Linera 110 persons were killed and 30 injured. In Bongiardo 13 dead and 27 injured have been taken from the ruins. At Cosentini 16 were killed and many injured. The district presents a spectacle of desolation, ruin and death. Peasants rushed to meet the automobilists, imploring aid. From the debris agonizing cries could still be heard. Others asked that their injured relatives be taken to Catania, as all train service was abandoned. For centuries this region has suffered from earthquakes, owing to the activity of Mt. Aetna. Yet it is relatively thickly populated, the land is most fertile, vineyards growing with little attention. Where Linera stood is a mass of ruins. The village consisted of about 800 inhabitants. A majority of the people escaped because the shock occurred when the men and some of the women were working in the fields. From the vineyards they saw their houses falling and when they arrived, breathless, at their homes, they found only wreckage, with some of their people buried beneath it. Generals Traubucchi and Maccagatta are in command of the rescue work, which is being performed by soldiers, firemen, policemen and Red Cross volunteers. REFUSE TO GIVE UP ARMS. U. S.

Trinidad, Colo.—Strikers in the Trinidad district, which included the big tent colony at San Rafael heights, whence the residents of the destroyed Ludlow colony went, Saturday surrendered 72 arms of all character to the Federal army officers. Among the lot were some with broken stocks, burst barrels, broken hammers, and many small-caliber guns and pistols. The military officers were disappointed by the manner in which Colonel Lockett's proclamation of disarmament was obeyed and determined to give the strikers, mine operators and citizens one more chance to surrender their arms voluntarily. All told, there were 725 arms received by the federal commander Saturday in the Trinidad district. To this number the dealers in arms and ammunition contributed largely, and citizens surrendered many hunting guns and small-caliber arms. Very few weapons which the army officers considered truly serviceable were received. Forbids Importation of Strikebreakers. Trinidad, Colo—President Wilson, through the War Department, instructed Col. James Lockett, commanding the federal troops in the southern Colorado strike zone, to forbid the importation of all new strikebreakers into the district and to disperse both strikers and mine guards to their permanent places of abode. The colonel announced that the department had decided to permit the re-establishment of the Ludlow tent colony, destroyed by fire on April 20, provided a list of the colony's original inhabitants with the names of their former employers is furnished the federal authorities and a strong man is placed in charge. Keating Names Officials. Washington. — Representative Keating recommended Edward O. Russell, an attorney, formerly of Denver, for appointment as postmaster of Manzanola, Otero county.

New York.—Bearing the bodies of the seventeen men who fell during the taking of Vera Cruz, the armored cruiser Montana made her way in the harbor and anchored off the battery. From then until darkness blotted her gray hull from the view of those ashore. New York paid a solemn, silent tribute to the flag-covered coffins which rested in a long row on her port boat deck and which were carried through the streets Monday when millions did them honor. BULLET ENDS YEAR'S FIGHT FOR HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA. Battle Creek, Mich., Millionaire Cereal King Pulls Trigger of Rifle With His Toe. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—John Harvey Post of 2380 Ash street, a student at the School of Mines at Golden, is an adopted son of C. W. Post, the Battle Creek health food millionaire, who shot and killed himself at Santa Barbara, Calif. The foster son, who has lived in Denver for a number of years, probably will be one of the heirs to the $25,000,000 estate. Santa Barbara, Calif.—A coroner's jury which investigated the suicide here of Charles W. Post, 64, the cereal food millionaire, returned a non-committal verdict simply finding that he died from the effects of a gunshot wound. Dr. J. C. Bainbridge, his physician, testified that Post unquestionably was suffering from temporary insanity when he shot himself. The testimony of Miss Ella Benson, the nurse, showed that Post had been fighting suicidal inclinations for several weeks past. She said he had a horror of a gun of any kind and that at his request the firearms were removed from the house. Post discussed his private financial affairs with his wife and at his request Mrs. Post went down town to transact some business for him. It was while she was away that he shot himself. Post said he felt tired, and asked Miss Ella Benson, his nurse, to leave the room. She remonstrated at first, but he insisted that he wished to sleep, and she left. As soon as he was alone, evidently, he got the rifle, lay down on the bed, put the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his foot. The nurse rushed into the room upon hearing the shot but Post's death had been instantaneous. Mrs. Post was notified She bore up well under the shock. In the last few weeks Post has been buying real estate adjoining his home here and laying plans to build a new residence. The body was placed aboard a special car and taken to Los Angeles. The car was attached to the train East and will arrive at Battle Creek Thursday noon. WOMEN PARADE TO URGE VOTE. Washington.—Colorado was distinctly in evidence in the great and impressive suffrage parade which took place here. Several thousand women, from practically every state in the Union, and representing millions of their sisters, paraded along Pennsylvania avenue, from the White House to the capitol, and presenting to members of Congress petitions adopted at meetings all over the country a week ago, made plain their desire to be given the right to vote. Five hundred and thirty-one of the marchers carried these petitions, one for each member of the Senate and House, and asking the adoption of the Bristow-Mondell resolution, amending the constitution so as to enfranchise women. Mrs. Taylor, wife of Representative Taylor, had as her guests in her electric Mrs. Thomas, wife of Senator Thomas; Mrs. Shafroth, wife of Senator Shafroth, and Mrs. Seldomridge, wife of Representative Seldomridge. The automobile was splendidly decorated with various kinds of flowers and was the most imposing vehicle in the parade. It carried the Colorado state flag. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Harper of Denver, who are traveling in the East, happened to be in Washington, and Representative and Mrs. Keating rose in an automobile with them in the parade. Senator Thomas and Representative Keating were in the receiving line in the capitol rotunda. In the line, in addition to Senator Thomas and Representative Keating, were Senators La Follette, Thompson, Owen, Bristow, Polindexter and Brady, and Representatives Sabeth, Madden, Falconer, Stone, Knowland, Baker, Moss of West Virginia, Roberts of Nevada; Helvering and Bryan, who shook hands with each of their callers. Fort Worth, Tex.—C. W. Post's aged father and mother, and one brother, reside in Fort Worth. His recent illness and his trip by special train to Rochester, Minn., was kept from his mother because of her advanced years and feeble condition. Post resided in Fort Worth before moving to Battle Creek. At one time he owned a grocery store here. President Approves Mothers' Day Bill. Washington.—President Wilson approved a joint resolution setting apart May 10 as Mothers' day, and issued a proclamation commanding that all flags be displayed in observance of the occasion. Harding Accepts Bank Post. Birmingham, Ala.—Announcement that W. P. G. Harding, Birmingham banker, would accept appointment as a member of the federal reserve board, was made here. TAMPICO FALLS. FEDERALS FLEE GUNBOATS DRIVEN OUT BY ENEMY'S SHELLS AFTER HARD FIGHT IN GULF COAST CITY. ADMIRAL MAYO REPORTS BY TAKING COAST STRONGHOLD, VICTORS NOW IN STRIKING DISTANCE OF MEXICO CITY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 14.—Tampico, Huerta's strongest post on the Gulf coast, next to Vera Cruz, fell into the hands of the rebels after one of the hardest and most spectacul battles of the revolution. A continuous all day bombardment with heavy French guns captured from Huerta's men at Monterey silenced the federal batteries, drove the federal gunboats out of the harbor and sent the battle-worn defenders fleeing from the city. This information, brought here in official and private dispatches, informed the Washington government that the rebels now are within striking distance of Mexico City itself. The logical movement of the victors from Tampico would be to join forces with those besieging San Luis Potosi, the most important outpost of the capital. The rebels were led to victory by General Pablo Gonzales; the federals marshaled in flight by General Zaragoa. Adimral Mayo reported that the Mexican federal gunboats Bravo and Zaragoa steamed out of the Panuco river and anchored near the foreign warships outside. The gunboats have been the chief support of the garrison, and their flight was accepted by naval officers here as meaning that the constitutionalists were about to occupy the own. That the rebels encountered desperate resistance in their final attack on Tampico and that they were compelled to carry their fight into the heart of the town was indicated by Admiral Mayo's report. He stated that at 1 o'clock when it was reported that the rebels had occupied Tampico, there was heavy rifle firing in the Plaza and that big gun firing continued. The federals were retreating by way of the railroad leading to San Luis Potcsi and it was assumed they hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus of a railway line that leads indirectly to Mexico City. Officials here believe the escape of the federal army at Tampico is improbable. The railroad between Tampico and San Luis Potcosi is in the hands of the constitutionalists. Few if any foreigners remain in Tampico, according to the latest reports. A general exodus began when the news spread that the rebels were preparing for the final assault. The constitutionalists first attacked Tampico last December and fighting has been virtually continuous since. Twice they drove the federal garrison into the town and seemed on the verge of victory, only to be shelled by the gunboats and forced to retire. It is certain the rebels now will use Tampico as a base in the operations against Mexico City. South of Tampico the nearest federal forces, those on the Mexican railroad, merely are holding outposts against a possible American advance. The country between Tampico and Vera Cruz and inland to the line of the Mexican National railroad is barren and mountainous and impossible for military operations. Governor Asks That Compulsory Arbitration Bill Be Presented First. Denver.—Governor Ammons wants a definite constitutional bill submitted for a compulsory arbitration submitted to him before he will seriously consider widening the scope of his call for the special session of the Legislature. Progressive members of both political parties in a formal letter ask him to extend the call in order that the Legislature might take up all phases of the coal-strike situation for legislative action. Senator Robinson gave notice Wednesday that he would on Thursday present a resolution asking the governor to resign. Envoys Begin Mediation Conferences. Washington, May 14.—Justice Lamar and Frederic W. Lehmann, together with their secretary, H. Perevai Dodge, who will represent the United States, paid their respects to the three South American envoyes who have undertaken by diplomacy to solve the Mexican question.

Do You Know That— CITY, STATE AND NATION SH LENTLY WELCOME HERO DEAD Funeral Cortegue Four Miles Long Passes Through New York Streets As People Pay Reverent Homage. New York.—To the men of the navy who died in the occupation of Vera Cruz, the city, the state and the nation paid tribute in a demonstration chiefly remarkable for its silence and solemnity. For four miles through the city streets, the funeral cortecge passed, and behind it in an open carriage rode the President. He sat for the most part with head bared, though the May sun beat down on him and the mercury climbed above 70. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF President Wilson had no formal address prepared for ceremonies at the Brooklyn navy yard. Secretary Daniels read to him the names of the nineteen American dead in whose honor the services were held. The President's reply was delivered with slow impressiveness. His voice was low and fervent and his face was grave. "Mr. Secretary," he said, "I know the feelings which characterize all who stand about me are not feelings that can be expressed in eloquence or oratory. For my part, I have a mixture of feeling. "The feeling that is uppermost is one of profound grief that these lads should have had to go to their death. But yet I feel a profound pride and envy that they should have been permitted to do their duty so nobly. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY "Their duty is not an uncommon thing. Men are performing it in the ordinary walks of life, but what gives these men peculiar distinction is that they did not give their lives for themselves, but gave their lives for us because we as a nation called on them. "Are you sorry for the lads? Are you sorry for the way they will be remembered? I hope to God none of you will join the list, but if you will, you will join an immortal company, and while there goes out of our hearts an affectionate sympathy for them, we know why we do not go away from this occasion with our hearts cast down, but with confidence that all will be worked out."

"We have gone down to Mexico to serve mankind if we can find the way. We don't want to fight the Mexicans; we want to serve them. "A war of aggression is not a thing in which it is proud to die, but a war of service is a war in which it is a proud thing to die." The President referred then to the "cosmopolitan personnel of the victims." "I listened to the list," he added with a profound feeling, "because they were not Irishmen, or German, or Hebrews when they went to Vera Cruz. They were Americans, and no matter where their people came from, they did the things that were American. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. "War is only a sort of dramatic representation, a symbol of a thousand forms of duty. I never was in battle or under fire, but I fancy it is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you, for when they shoot at you they take your natural life, and when they sneer at you they wound your heart. "As I think of these spirits that have gone before us I know that the way is clearer for the future, for they have shown us the way." When the President had finished there was a moment of silence, then Rabbi Stephen Wise delivered a prayer for the dead. The religious service ended with a prayer by the Rev. John P. Chidwick, chaplain of the Maine. The seventeen coffins remained on the parade ground for half an hour, still guarded by the sailor pallbearers, and then were taken to the naval barracks for distribution to the escorts that will convey them to family homes. Perhaps a million persons saw the coffins, each on a caisson, borne from the Battery plaza in lower Manhattan to the navy yard in Brooklyn. The procession was nearly two hours in passing. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Lamar and Lehmann U. S. Mediators. Washington.—Associate Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar of the United States Supreme Court and Frederick W. Lehmann of St. Louis, former solicitor general, have been selected by the President to represent his views before the South American mediators in the Mexican mediation negotiations at Niagara Falls, Canada. Secretary Bryan made this official announcement. Senate Kills Constabulary Bill.

Villa is at Saltillo and Carranza is reported to be at Durango. Blanco Ramon Blahco, a Villa officer, insisted the deposing had taken place in Torreon before he left, and that Carranza had gone to Durango, where he might assume the governorship of the state.

She must have a gown, girlish in design, fine as to workmanship, and elaborate enough to do honor to the occasion. Here is a French conception for a young girl from the establishment of Raulin. It is a masterpiece, but simple enough to be easily followed by the copyist. And the copyist will do well to be as faithful to the original as possible. The underskirt is of white volle, showing a few scattered sprays of fine embroidery. Instead of a hem at the bottom there is a wide band of the volle ornamented with close-set sprays of embroidery. It is set on to the bottom of the skirt with an insertion of very narrow fine valce and is split at the front. This narrow insertion extends all around the border of embroidery and serves to join it to the lace edging, which finishes the gown at the bottom. In choosing laces for gowns of this Bewitching, Inexper THE morning glories will have to be glorious indeed if they charm our eyes more than the maids who make such morning apparel for themselves as is pictured here. This morning cap and negligee from Raulin of Paris is beautiful enough to inspire every one with a desire to own one like it. For the jacket there is a foundation sacque of net, or maybe volle, with short, loose sleeves. The sleeves are finished with rows of val lace, the lower row bordered with a narrow silk-finishing braid of a fancy design. The seams of the jacket are set together with a narrow insertion of lace. Two long scarves of figured net edged with fillet lace are fulled in at the shoulder, seams under loops of ribbon. They are tacked to the jacket --- character, those that will stand tubbing and look well afterward are the only ones to be considered. The embroidery for this gown in the body and border are machine made, but very fine. There is an overdrapery of scant fullness bordered with a band of embroidery narrower than that in the skirt. It is set on with the same narrow insertion sewed in in long, shallow scallops. The overdress is edged with a flounce made of point d'esprit net trimmed with insertion and an edging of fine val. The bodice is of the point d'esprit, draped with voile and trimmed with an embroidered border like that at the bottom of the skirt. This extends from the shoulders down each side of the bodice at the front. The sleeves are finished with a ruffle like that which borders the overskirt. The girdle is made of a wide bias strip of blue satin finished with a narrow ruffle under which it fastens with tiny hooks and eyes. nsive Morning Garb along one edge, with the lower points, under the arms, sewed together. There is a girdle of twisted ribbon about the waist, ending in a bow at the front, where the jacket fastens with a hook and eye. The lovely little cap appears to be only a square of fine linen lawn or mousseline edged with a very wide val lace. The lace is draped back over the face and tacked to place. Plaits are laid in the muslin at the sides and back to shape it to the head, and narrow satin ribbon with little ribbon flowers drawn over the cap about the head. The small group of flowers at the left side is mounted over long, hanging loops and ends of ribbon, finishing the decoration of this bewitching morning dress. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. --- PETER H.
