Senator Fall declared the UnitedStates "politically intervened" inMexico ever since John, Lind wassent with an ultimatum to Huerta,and further declared the UnitedStates owed a duty to its own citizens and to Spain, England, Franceand Germany, whose citizens Dad beenmurdered and outraged.

"We owe a duty to the Mexican people themselves; and we owe a duty to

CITIZENS HAVE BEEN BRU-

TALLY TREATED

Washington, Marc Q. Urging theuse of the army and navy of the Unit-ed States for the protection of Amer-icans and other foreigners in Mexico,which, he said, would prevent war.Senator Fall, republican, of New Mex-ico addressed the senate today andgave a list of 63 outrages on Ameri-cans, including murtrer and rape, con-

cerning which the senator said he hadpersonal knowledge.

"With the solemn declaration thatwe do not wish to make war on 'theMexican nation or people," said Sena-tor Fall, "that it is not our purposeto acquire territory, upset their laws,nor overturn their constitution, and aninvitation to the masses of the Mexi-can people to with us, weshould immediately direct the use ofthe land and naval forces of thisgovernment for the protection of ourcitizens and. other foreigners in Mexi-co and lend their assistance to therestoration of order and maintenanceof peace in that unhappy country. -

"I may .cite authority after authori-ty- and pile precedent on. precedentas justification under internationallaw for such action, but I shall onlyread from the message of the martyr-ed McKinley, with only the suggestionthat we insert the name 'Mexico inlieu oj that of Cuba or Spain."

Mr. Fall read a portion of PresidentMcKInley's famous war message, andthen referred to president Wilson'srefusal last autumn to transmit infor-mation relative to Mexico to tho sen-ate on the ground that it was incom-patible with the, public Interest,

"Lincoln though, it not incompat-ible with the public interests to fullyinform the senate concerning com-munications between this governmentand that of France," said he.

"Grover Cleveland thought it not incompatible with the public interest toforward to this body all papers andcorrespondence concerning the arrest,death, and so forth, of'Various Americans In Cuba, as will be seen by reference to his special message."

Senator Fall, picturing conditions inMexico, Included a vid statement hehad received today from Emeterio Dela Garza, who came to Washingtonlast year in the Interest of the Huertagovernment From De la Anna's let-ter Senator Fall read: .'.V':?

'"Those who now rule in Mexico,both at the Aztecan capital and thatof the resolution, are by their bloodydeeds a legion of intoxicated demons,who are) courting flat failure.' " ,

A large part of the letter, whichfollowed that, was a detailed attackon President Wilson's Mexican policy.

"'Tho government and the revolu-tion, both of them, are unhealthy andhave gone mad, as their aim is noneother than to thwart civ'iination andestablish barbarism,'" tho senatorread, from the letter

Mr. Fall called up a resolution in-troduced last summer but una,ctod on,re affirming a plank in the democraticplatform of 1912 as follows:

"The constitutional right of Ameri-can citizens should protwt them onour borders and go with thorn through-out the world, and every American cit-izen residing or having property inany foreign country is entitled to andmust bo given the full protection othfi United States government bothfor himself and his property."

Meanwhile, a fire alarm had beenturned in, presumably by the nightwatchman of the Boatman's Bank,Additional alarms were sounded and

apparatus was rushed' to the scenefrom all parts of the city. When thefiremen arrived men were jumpingfrom windows in their night clothes,others were clinging to the windowsills, around which wnoke was pour-ing, and others were climbling down.fire escapes. Some wre making ropesout of sheets, preparatory to loweringthemselves from the windows.

Fire Escapes Cut Off

Flames bursting through third storywindows cut off the guests from thefire escape on the Fourth5 '''street side.Streams of water wero turned on thefire escape at the third floor and asfiremen called out encouraging wordsseveral persons descended through thestreams to safety.'After the fire had been burning an

bour, the wall on the Fourth streetside collapsed -- from the fourth floorup. Firemen felj back to the wall ofa building at the opposite side of thestreet and thus- escaped the fallingbricks. One fireman, however, was.struck by a brick. Ills leg was broken. ..

Heard Three ExplosionsAssistant Fire Chief Rucker said he

heard three explosions as he reachedthe burning building. At the firstthe theory was advanced that the ex-

plosions were tho work of sn.feblowerswho had tried to rom the bank-- Later,it was suggested that what seemedto be the sound of explosions was thedropping of elevators to the basement.

The fire, which broke out about 2

o'clock this morning, was still burningat noon, and Fire Chief Swingley said

it would ibe unsafe to send anyoneinto the ruins to search for the miss-

ing until tonight or tomorrow.. The building was owned by theBoatman's Bank, which occupied partof lib Erst floor. The bank openedlensporsfy: quarters this morning In a

cy and $27,000 in coin. This money,it is believed, Is intact The build-

ing was tally covered by insurance.The loss to adjoining buildings is

estimated at $16,000.Uncertainty as to the number of

men in the building when the firebroke out made it difficult to deter-mine the exact number of missing.Jack Reisinger, night clerk at theclub, said 45 clubmen had rooms there

and that the registration of guestsbrought the total number at the clubfor the night to 75. Whether all of

the regular guests were in their roomswhen the fire broke out is not known.

Assistant Fire Chief Rucker said be

INTEREST

The ruling of Judge Abbott follow--!

cd soon after the findings of the grandjuries in Eddy and San Miguel counties,which exonerated county officials un-

der similar circumstances, and pre-cedes by a few days the hearing ofthe suspended commissioners andcleric of Torrance county.

Judge E. C. Abbott sustained the de-

murrers of the Santa Fe board of

county commissioners against the pre-sentment of District Attorney Alexan-

der Read, based on the sworn reportmade by Traveling Auditor Howell

Earnest The district attorney had,

upon hi3 own motion, dismissed a

number of the more serious specifica-tions.

The accusation against the countycommissioners fell luto three parts:First: gross negligence or gross In-

competency, specifying that thehoard unlawfully autnorized and paid

county warrants out of court house

and jail funds, and other warrants outof divers funds in violation of statute,

and further, that the board made excessive levies in both 1912 and 1013

for the construction of various bridgesin the county. It further charged the

letting unlawfully of certain contractsfor bridges, which contracts contained

provisions for payment for bridges be-

fore they were completed and provid-ed for the Issuing of certificates of

indebtedness bearing interest at 8

per cent on deferred payments.Second: Corruption in office, in that

the board knowingly, intentionallyand corruptly padded the assessment

rolls with a view to raising the classi-fication of Santa Fe county for the

purpose of increasing salaries under

proposed salary bills passed by the

legislature and vetoed ty the governor. This charge set out three distinct acts, wherein it was alleged thatthe board raised assessments or

changed assessments so asto pad themils to the extent of

aibout $750,000.Third': The board is charged with

failing, neglecting and refusing to dis

charge duties of their office in omit

ting or neglecting to publish abstractsof their proceedings. The last sub-d- ivision of the third accusation chargestie hoard with failure and neglect toperform their duties in that they fail-ed to require verification of a largenumber of accounts before allowingthem during 1912 and 1913.

The prosecution was based on pro-visions of Chapter 36, Laws of 1909.The respondents, Jose Ortiz y Pino,Esqulpula tjiron and George KinselL

Catron, demurred to each and everypart of the accusation, thetr demur-rer being filed February 20. After ar-gument, the district attorney, Alexan-der Read, and his assistant, J. J. Her-

ring, dismissed all but two of thespecifications of paragraph 1 of theaccusation. v

The' court held that the remainingtwo specifications of paragraph 1are insufficient All of the second par-agraph of the accusation, which re-lated to a charge of corruption in of-fice by padding the rolls, was dimissedby the district attorney, who statedthat he had investigated the factswhich were submitted to him in thesworn affidavit, and that he fomul thesame untrue.

As to the third paragraph of the ac-

cusation, relating to charge of failureand neglect and refusal to publish theproceedings was held insufficient bythe court to require the respondentsto answer, the court, however, permit-ting the district attorney to amendif he elects.

The effect of this opinion by JudgeAbbott is to dispose of the first twoparagraphs of the accusation and topermit the district attorney to redraXtthe specific charges wnich allege thatthe county commissioners failedand neglected or refused to performthe duties of their office by reason ofthe failure and neglect to. publish anabstract of their proceedings as re-quired by Soefion G94 of the CompiledLaws of 1897.

H. Reber, lessee and proprietor.There is only one saloon in Alamo- -

cordo. and the condition which keeps

this restriction in force is unlike that

obtaining In any other town in New

Mexico. The Alamogordo Improvement company, the original owner of

tho town site, sold every one of its

lots under a deed containing tneclause that liquor never should, under

any circumstances, we Bold on the

premises; and in the event of the vio

lation of this provision, the propertyshould revert to the Alamogordo Im

provement company. Only one pieceof property in town i3 exempt, which

i3 famous "Mock 50," upon which theone saloon has stood sinca the foundingof the town.The Alamogordo Improvement com-

pany leases this smoon privilege,which includes the rent of the build-

ings, to Walter H. Reber for the con-

sideration of $3,000 a yenr. It is a

part of the contract that the owner isto pay the town license. Thus, when

the town was incorporated and the

board imposed a tax of $1,800 a yearupon tho saloon, the effect was to

reduce the Alamogordo Improvementcompany's revenue from this source

to $1,200 a year. Some time ago thecompany filed a petition to have thelicense reduced to $1,200, the board

declining to make any reduction. Thecompany takes the stand that $1,800a year is a prohibitive license to pay,even though there is monopoly; whilethe board of trustees holds the opposite view.

Mr. Reber, the lessee and proprietor,said In his communication that unlessthe board could reduce the license to

$1,200 a year', the doors of the placewould be closed. The saloon wasclosed for a few weeps, in 1910, duringa controversy between the saloon anda previous board, ana In that shorttime many "bootleggers" actively pliedtheir graft It is 'believed that if thesaloon closes, "bootlegging" wiil be re-sumed aud will bring about most un-desirable conditions. A great manyhave expressed the opinion that inthe event of closing on account of ahigh license, a prohibition electionwill bo- called and the soloon votedout, to stay out Something of ahardship on the town board will re-sult, for the present at least, in theloss of $1,800 a year revenue whichwas derived from the saloon license.This represents almost the totalamount of revenue collected by thetown, with the exception of thesprinkling tax and the occupation li-cense. The matter must toe decidedb ythe fourteenth 'of the month, whenthe present license expires. Whateverthe result, it will he one of the mostimportant problems that the town ofAlamogordo has ever' had to solve.

MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUO. CESSFUL IRRIGATION ARE

OVERLOOKED

That New Mexico has flowing watersufficient to irrigate more than "2,(.-00-0

acres instead of less than 500,000acres under cultivation now on Irrigated farms appears certain from thocomputation of stream meaauremen.6for the year 1913 completed this fore-noon by the hydrographic survey andfiled with State Engineer Jamfs AFrench in Santa Fe.

At Farmington alone the San Juaalast year carried more than 1,500,000acre feet, and the Animas half a mil-lion acre feet. The water power flowing to waste Is figured at more tha'i amillion horse power.

Stream measurements were takenregularly by automatic devices during1913, the state legislature having appropriated sufficient funds and thaUnited States geological survey cooperating, the work being done underthe supervision of Hydrographic Eagkneer Glenn A. Gray. The compilation,furnishes-th- most accurate and complete figures as to the availablewaters of New Mexico In every countythus far compiled.

An adequate and accurate idea ofthe great amount of water availablefor storage and irrigation in NewMexico is given in the report of thtstream measurements for 1913, com-

pleted this forenoon by HydrographleEngineer Glenn A. Gray, the computations having just been finished and ,filed with the state engineer.

Every stream system of the state.including the Arkansas, the Colorado;the Rio Grande, the Mimbres, Alamo- -

gordo and Gila is covered. Amongthe important deductions is that onsuch streams as the Red river, thatotal flow never reached the RioGrande. These figures are of tre-mendous importance to those plan-ning irrigation development, and in-vestment. It Is interesting to com-pare the run-of- f of the Rio Grandsand the San Juan, for instance, thaSan Juan carrying three times aamuch water as the Rio Grande atEmbudo, or more than twice as muchas the Rio Grande at San Marci&L

Remarkable is the amount of waterthat flows by Farmmgton 2,200,000acre feet last year. The Canadian,which recorded a flood of 97.000 acrefeet on June 12, had only 250,000 acrefeet to its credit at Logan last year.The fine flow of the streams in Taoacounty is also apparent, while thatof streams like the Mimbres attd thoArroyo Hondo, Santa Fe county, iavery disappointing.

FOR A FRENCH

ADMIRAL

NAVY OFFICIALS SAY THIS NA-- .TION OWES DE 'gRASSE A

DEBT OF GRATITUDE

Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistantsecretary of the navy, believes thatAdmiral Compte de Grasse of theFrench navy, actually saved the lifeof the struggling American nation to-ward the close of the revolutionarywar and that on this account Americaowes him a monument in recognitionof' his services. Mr. Roosevelt is agreat student of naval history andhe recalls this particular early chap-ter of it In speaking of the growingappreciation of the ract vnat navieshave been the deciding element In allgreat wars.

The Navy League of the UnitedStates and the Sons of the Revolu-tion, two great patriotic societies,agree with ivlr. Roosevelt in both contentions. Both have alligned themselves in favor of an appropriatestate to Admiral de Grasse. Mr.Roosevelt in a recent address to theSons of the Revolution told the storyof this vital If forgotten chapter inAmerican history. Ho said:

"The capture of Cornwallis in 1781would not have been possible with-out the of the Frenchfleet. This wing of the. British armyhad then been successfully operatingagainst tie colonists through the Car-olina- s.

This force, however, was grad-ually weakening because of the nat-ural casualties of long operations inwar. So Cornwallis advanced intoVirginia with the Idea) of an ultimateunion with the Britrsh forces In NewYork. The British had had commandof the seas and had been thus en-abled to transfer aid from one forceto the other.

"Washington and Rochambeau ap-preciated this advantage and wanted,above all things, to isolate one ofthose armies and concentrate theirattack upon It This isolation depend-ed on command of the seas. Tbey sent

dispatches to Admiral Francois' Jo-

seph Paul de Grasse, then anchoredat Cape Haytlen, In the West Indies,where he had been maneuveringagainst the British under Rodney.

"Degrasse decided, on his own Initiative,, to move against the Chesapeake and isolate Cornwallis. Withevery available ship, with 3,500 troopson board for Rocheambeau, he sailedat once. He anchored at LynnhavenRoads on August SO, 1781. WhenGraves, of the Britisn fleet, arrived atthe Chesapeake a little later he foundde Grasse in readiness. De Garras,with additional French ships, soonafterward joined de-- Grasse. Thuswere the French In possession of amuch stronger force than the English,who, realizing their-

- predicament, re-tired and returned to New York.

"With the retirement of Graves dis-appeared the last hope of succor thatmight have gladdened Cornwalliseyes. De Grasse waa left in completecontrol of the waters about the Ches-

apeake and Cornwallis' forces wereisolated from those at New York.Clinton in New York was unable tosend him help and the final blow ofthe long war logically followed. LordCornwallis surrendered at Yorktowato Washington in October, 1781.

"A year later de Grasse was defeat-ed and captured by the British andbecause of this came in for much crit-icism. He was acquitted of all blamefor this unfortunate termination ofhig career by a court martial of hisfellow officers. This circumstance1,however, should not permit his bril-liant services to the American colo-nies to be obscured. The memory ofAdmiral de Grasse and his importantlabors for the cause of our forefath-ers deserves now to be fittingly rec-ognized by the American people. Heshould mave a statue to stand amongthose of LaFayette, Rochambeau, Kosiuszko, Pulaski, Von Steuben andother distinguished foreigners whofought in the revolution."

DETROIT MANAGER SAYS NEW

YORK GIANT PILOT IS MAN

OF BRAINS

The following article by Hugh Jen-

nings, of which Manager McGraw of

the Giants is the subject, was takenfrom the New York World:

To say John J. McGraw has been, a

'brilliant success In baseball is not

original. I might omtt repeat!' g It

on the same theory that a countryeditor omitted writing the story of a

big fire."What's the use of describing the

conflagration?" said the editor. "Ev

erybody in town knows aiout itThey all saw it."

Twenty years ago an incident Cf.

curred which has stuck in my mem-

ory. Mao and T were attending StBonaventure's College, Alleghany, N.

Y., that winter. A week before ourtime to leave for practice with, the

Baltimore Orioles, on which ,he play-ed third and yours truly short, we

got a tip that our classmates had

chipped in to present each of us with

a igold-heade- d cane. Mac got busy onhis speech of acceptance, and after

he had it memorized, made me theaudience. I'll never forget how seri-

ously he stood at the head of the bed.I sat at the foot Daniel Webster,in his famous oration at Bunker Hill,tad nothing on our little Napoleon,and if I got a million I couldn't keepmy face straight.

"I'm not half as funny as you'll bewhen you get up to talk," he said, "If

you don't frame up a speech,"True enough, when my time !ame,

I fell back on the old stuff, that Iwas too full for utterance. While I

wasn't nervous, I couldn't think. AfterI sat down, I remembered many thingsthat I might have said, but Mac's ac-

ceptance rolled off his tongue' likewater off a duck's back. Thrice ormore he stalled, as if seeking the

right word although ne had it learn-ed by heart. The stalling was Inten-

tional, and, I suspect, done to make

believe it was impromptu,What was worth doing was worth

doing well. That was the secret of

his preparation. That is the eecret othis success. Watch the . .Giants on

'

their next training trip. As has been

done in the past, he will be at thehead of the brigade, practicing like a

mailer, just as religiously as a new

player trying to make the regularteam, or ' an old one to keep from

clipping back. ;He was at St. Bonaventure's one

season ahead of me, and was thecause of getting me started. It wouldnot be a breach of confidence to say

that neither of us had many early ad-

vantages in schooling; so when we

were at Alleghany we had to takecur places with boys In the Latinclass.'

That might discourage a greatmany. I had some misgivings as to

how I should be able to stand it, butnot after I had the benefti of his ex-

ample. He had the faculty of sub--.

ordinating himself completely to thecondition ot affairs. It would havejbeen an easy matte for two grown-- ,

wps to become the laughing stock of a

crowd of boys, hut Mac had won therespect of the boys in the previousseason, and Instead of toeing the buttof any of their Jokes, ;exercised a

sobering Influence on them, and theytook more interest In their work,

I ascribe his success to industry,perseverance and the ability to thinkand act in the right way at the righttime. We used to drill the boys atthe college in baseball and he wasthen as insistent on drilling them

right as if they were going into theworld's series.

His nerves were of steel In a

(pinch. I'll not forget a game betweenBaltimore and Washington alongabout 1895.

We came to the bat In the last halfof the ninth with Washington one runto the good. Brodie, our first man, up,

" drove out a single; Rettz got a baseoa balls, Clarke sacrificed, moving upboth runners. Not having any pinchhitters in those days, Hotter, our(pitcher, struck out Win Mercer,pitching for Washington, heaved a

sigh, thinking victory was his.'

"Heres' where the test comes,' Win-,Rie-

yelled Mae. "You'd better take' a chance on me than ftust to luck on

Keeler."With the count two and two Mac

ehot a fast one over Scrappy Joyce's.feid at third "and both Brodie andIteitz scored the tying aa well as thewhining runs.

T think I can say without beingoffensive that Mie ia cf the opinionthat, he is the best manager in thehBffhiefss and knows more about, the

d like to qualify the assertion thathe was responsible for the rule. A lotof other batters tried jt with more orless success and not only delayed thegame but gummed the cards. " Butwhen Mao was determined to keep on

fouling until the got what he wanted

jhe had the faculty oi doing it so ar- -

tistically that It was treat to behold.He was bom In the little hamlet of

Truxton in the northwestern sectionof New York state, and his first occu-

pation was newsboy on a NorthernCentral train between Cortland anaElmira. Laying over in Elmira from11 a. m. until 3 p. m. ne got his firstlesson in baseball with the hoys ofthat neighborhood, when he couldhave buried himself m a dime novelIn a corner of the sttaion till train

'time.

Ht used to practice pitching f.ythrowing stones, when he didn't havea ball, against a water tank, and hisfirst baseball position was with Olean,N. Y., as a pitcher. He was with thefirst American team that invadedCuba on a barnstorming trip. He attracted the attention of Captain Ansonof the old Chicago Nationals, but didnot begin to shine until he went toBaltimore with Ned Hanlon and wasmade a regular thira sacker.

It was an Inspiration to me to playBhort on bis left. He was the Inspiration of all the other players as well,by his quick and good judgment, ag-

gressiveness and abiliiy, I ha I un-

usual chances to observe his characteristics on and off the field when wewere on the Orioles and indulging inwinter schooling, and he sized up atall times to the finest instincts of a

thorough gentleman.I have ho hesitation in passing

these bouquets to him while he is stillIn the heyday of his success. Betterthat he should hear them now thanwait till his ears are closed and themost fragrant flowers of admiringfriends will not be aeon by sightlesseyes.

His career furnished a standardtor the young American boy. Hemade his'own advantages and did notwait for something to turn up. Bygood living, intelligent action and

quick use of the endowments hisCreator gifted him with, he cut his

way to the front rank of players andmanagers in baseball.

They say he rules his players withan Iron hand, hut you will observethat none of them Hkes to leave NewYork. If he is firm, ne is Just, andhe wants no man to do more workthan he Is willing to do himself. Hisconduct on the ball field Is a model.There, Is nothing of the dress paradeabout him. He stands on the sidelines like a Sphinx, but the newspaper reports indicate that the does notalways act like a Spnlnx. When Itcomes to delivering himself of a fewwell chosen remarks to the umpire orany other object of his wrath, he goesto it In about the same fashion thathe balled me out in our room at StBonaventure's when ue was practising his gold cane speech and I wsmirking: ,

The fifth installment of "The Ad-venture's of Kathlyn'' will be the at-traction tonight and tomorrow night,at the Photoplay and Browne thea-ters., This interesting continued storyby films is drawing large crowds uponthe presentation of each "chapter."The synopsis of tho two reels to beshown tonight is as follows: ,

'

First Reel"With Kathlyn's revelation of her-

self as a slave, Prince Umballah, herpurchaser, has her Imprisoned in. thedungeon of the royal palace. Thereshe finds her father whom she wasled to believe had been dead. Thatworthy gentleman, enraged, tries withhis bare hands to end the life of thehateful Umballah, who intrudes upontheir presence, but is dragged awayby his retainers. This is broughtabout when Umballah informs Kath-lyn that she Is to be the favorite ofhis harem. This so infuriates ColonelHare that he is about to strangle thedusky prince, when Kathlyn imploreshim not to stain his hands with blood.Umballah staggers to his feet, furiouswith' rage, leaves the place vowingvengeana, promising to return withthe executioner to publicly flog hisprisoner. As he staggers up the stepsin the corridor of the palace he en-counters Bruce, the American hunter,who has found his way into that laby- -rinth in search of Kathlyn. Umballahsuspects him, questions him and thenorders him taken from the palace. Inthe throne room Umballah finds hiscouncillors, makes hif. complaint, andit Is agreed thit Colonal Hare mustsuffer for tampering with his sacredperson.

A big baboon escapes from confine-ment and in prying about perchesupon the prison window in the verycell in which Kathlyn and her fatherare confined. This alert young wom-an conceives the Idea ot communi-cating with the outer world, sendingby it a message to its keeper so thatAhmed will get it and further theirplans for escape. She ripa the Insolefrom her shoe, and writes with thecolonel's Indellblle. pencil, "In thepalace prison. Help. Kathlyn." Sheties this about the neck of the monkey

CHICAGO. SOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, March 9. General sellingof wheat by commission houses todaywiped out gains due to a moderatelybullish construction of the governmentreport on farm reserves, Openingprices were to higher and therewas a slight additional upturn beforethe reaction set in. The close was

steady at the same as Saturday night'sclose to higher. ,t. .

What's more, the story has prac-tically been admitted by Lyman Ab-

bott, head of the Ouclook, to whichMr. Roosevelt Is contributing editor.

A Chicago man, traveling in Brazilas a representative of the ChicagoAssociation of; Commerce for the pur-pos- o

of encouraging closer trade re-

lations between South American coun-

tries and the United States, says heheard the story from natives of Rio,and that they were astounded at Mr.Roosevelt's action.

W hen Roosevelt arrtred in Rio de

Brazil, and the official home of the

president was fucated for his party,and 100 servants were placed at hiscommand. During the week that heoccupied It he was snown every cour-tesy and accommodation. About themiddle of the week he spoke beforethe Rio - Janeiro Geographical society,which had Invited htm to South Amer-

Sentiment regarding oats wasuniversally bearish on account

of th$ government figures - on ffrmistock being much larger than expect-ed. ' A sharp break came right at thestart, and there was no sign of anyimportant rally.

Higher prices for hogs carried pro-visions up grade. Grain weakness,however, brought abiJ; a subsequentfall. The closing quotations were asfollows:

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGENew York, March . --Bullish trad-

ers succeeded in changing the direc-tion of the market today from thecourse followed late last week, butprogress upward was only temporary.The strong showing made by St. Pauland some of the eastern railroads pull-ed up the whole list.

The upturn was fairly sustained bysuspension of liquidation In Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and Ohioand other stocks whose weakness re-

cently had been unsettling. Tradingwas active on the upward swing, andthe market made good headway untilthe coalers began to develop weak-ness. Reading and Lehigh, in parti-cular, were sold heavily, the latter re-acting three points. As these stockssagged the whole market graduallyfell back.

St. Paul and New Haven lost theirgains and at noon the average was un-,d-

last week's close. Bonds wereheavy..

A RKAL LOSS

Tbr resignation of John Bassett'"ore , chief counselor of the state

i I'pariment, comes at a time when histu'.unhle services could be most help- -iiil to a perplexed and harassed adj i 'inlstratiou, provided his advice were.taVd. Without doubt Mr. Moore Is

ibe most scholarly and levelheadednt all the subordinate officials of the

: government. He has been the prop ofthe state department m many waysand his retirement will leave thismost important part of the administra-tion without an experienced or com-Ient- e

authority. Whatever" President) Wilson may think about the situation,i the country at large will view Moore'sretirement with regret and anxiety,

i Under the circumstances, of courseI Mr. Moore cannot be blamed for seek-

ing to relieve hlmselt of the irksomeresponsibilities of a position that is

'loth humiliating and stultifying. For.snore than a quarter of a century helas been intimately ahd actively asso-- !

'f;iated with the greatest internationalJiind diplomatic affairs of the time,

kle is recognized as the highest Ame-rican authority on international law,and In addition to this eminent quali-fication he is a cautious,sagacious and practical statesman. Itis no wonder, then, that Mr. Mooreshould become wearied by the pres-n- t

management of the state department under a man wno is visionary,Inexperienced and otten Impractical.It would have been better if Presi-dent Wilson could have sidetrackedBryan and given Moore full depart-mental control. And most likely the

president would have been glad to do'this had he been frets to act, i Prom the "'fery'-- i start Mar Moore's

frood advice regarding Mexico -- Tinsf heea disregarded. ,; It Is said that thecounsellor pointed out the advantagesc--f recognition of Huerta a year ago,liut the president 4id not listen to him.Yet the president saw in Moore the

enly really wise and safe man con-nected with the state department Mr.Moore did his duty nobly. Realizing

Chaplain Jolin T. Axton of the 20th

Infantry has taken a special interestin the women and children and It isdue to his untiring efforts that theyare gradually securing necessaryclothing. Of course everybody had tobe vaccinated, , including the infants,and now that their arms are eoro onehears the pitiful wail ot the sickchild all over the camp. Many ofHuerta's fighting men are carryingtheir arms in slings and snaking theirheads in a solemn fashion over whatto them seems a strange proceeding.A day or two ago the whole campreceived its first typhoid noculation.Many of them did not quite under-stand and one woman begged me to

explain just what it was and I canassure sou it was no easy task tomake this poor half-India- n womancomprehend that this little scratchingof the arm would protect her" from

typhoid fever. Ksncral Scott told methat he did not propose to ,run anychances of an epidemic and the typhoid serum was rushed here with allhaste. "They are so close together,"he said, ,"and an epidemic would be

appalling. If I had move men to

guard the camp I would spread it outfor miles.. However the surgeons are

meeting;. .th situation and with oursanitation there is little danger otmuch sickness." Only fifty-on- e arein hospital and many o tnese are thewounded. There nave Deen severaldeaths, one from smallpox. '

The camp throughout lis orderlyand everybody connected with it seemsto be fixing up for a long stay. Sev-

eral Mexican soldiers have, been placed in charge of the streets and areheld responsible for the sanitary con-

dition of the sections. The . major-ity of the refugees prefer to do theirown cooking although in several partsof the camp rice Is prepared in largecorrugated iron cans. These are setover a fire built in a sort of ditch.Tortillas, a kind of shortcake minusthe shortening, is tu favorite breadof the Mexicans and in front of al-most every tent Women were bakingthese tasteless cakes over under-

ground campfires.' An idea of the amount of food now

being used at Fort Bliss can be gain-ed from the fact that during the lastmonth, Captain Nicklin handled 600,-00- 0

pounds of commissary. Tenthousand pounds of soap were also

given out. It is costing the UnitedStates government $700 per day "at

IT'S THE KIND OF DANCES UTILIZED THAT CAUSES CRITI-CIS-

SAYS IMHOF

Rev. John Lee Imhof, pastor of theFrist Christian church, preached asermon on "Amusement" last night.He referred to dancing, la part, asfollows:

"A-fe- days ago somg of the young ;people of this church asked the pastor if they might have a 'dance. Ofcourse, the purpose in asking wasthat it might be given under the direction of the church.

"Many Protestant churches in thepast have been opposed to amusements in almost every form. Amuse-ments have been included in thingsworldly as over against things spiritual. The evangelist, after failing tomake persons see now sinful theywere with other appeals, has been(Successful . (as he would say) byshowing them that they enjoy amuse-ments and that they should be converted to a state of religious ecstacywhere no such enjoyment exists;

"A large number of Christians inProtestant churches are sincere in as-

suming a different attitude. Not longago the pastor of a large and influ-ential Baptist church in Chicagochaperoned the young people of hischurch through a dance. Jane Ad- -dams at Hull House,1 as well as anumber of other social ' workers InChicago, favor dancing as a means ofrecreation. Some leading educatorsare advocating the teaching of danc-ing in the public schools.

"But why do so many good Chris-tian people object to this particularform of recreation? It is not becausethey continue to live in religious ec-stacy. On thg whole, there is nomore sensible class of people livingthan those of the Christian faith. Itis because the great majority of pub-lic dances are bad. In an investiga-tion we were able to trace young peo-ple from the dance hall to the saloon Iand thence to a hotel where theyregistered as married persons. It Iwas evident that they were not mar-ried.

"Our young people are, not withoutmoral sense. They want healthy rec-reation and normal social develop-ment. The old method has been afailure. Young persons from nearlyall churches dance. The solution ofthe amusement problem will be foundin putting amusements into the con-trol of those who have caught thespirit of Christ

"I have no compromise to makewith sin. Let us treat religion aB aprimary need or go out of business.We all need to interpret social func-tions with the highest ' moral con-science that religion can. give. Aboveall else, one owes it to himself andothers to be true to the God whomhe worships, serves and tries to seerealized in the social world as wellaa in his own life."

Senator Fall pictured Villa's course
