HOLD PAH-AMERICAN CONGRESS-
REPRESENTATIVES OF SOUTH
ERN REPUBLICS MEET.
Outline Programme Which VIII Be
Submitted to Their Respective
Governments.

Washington, April 1.-THE meeting
of the diplomatic representatives of
the three Americas at the bureau of
American republics today resulted in
the successful launching, from an in
ternational standpoint, of the project
for the reassumbiing of the Pan-Amer-
lean congress There were present the
Mexican ambassador. Senior Aspiroz:
the Gillian minister, Senior Vicuna: the
Brazilian minister. Senior de Assis-Bra-
I'll; the Eaytien minister, Mr.. Leser
the Guatemalan minister, Senior Lazo
Arriaga; the Costa Rican minister, Sc
nor Calvo; the Venezuelan charge. Sc
nor Pulido; the Colombian minister.
Senior Caloeron; and Mr.. Stewart, the
consul general for Uruguay.
Secretary Hay. the president ex-
officiO of the executive committee of
the bureau of American republics. who
would naturally have presided, was not
present. nor was Director Rockhill Of
the bureau. There was purpose in their
absence, it is assumed. for it is re-
garded as desirable that the repre-
ssntatives of these southern republics
shall not be under the slightest appear
ance Of influence from the Washington
government in the pending matter.
The members of the conference spent
fully an hour and a half in close con-
sultation. Senior CalVo, the senior
member Of the executive committee Of
the bureau, presided, and the outcome
OF the meeting was the agreement Of
the members upon proposition that
the executive committee of the bureau
should be charged with drawing up
tentative programme for the proposed
international congress.
This programme will be submitted by
the ministers to their respective gov
ernmentS for approval and amendment.
In this manner viii be avoided a mis-
take made by the state department in
arranging for the first Pan-American
congress. The United States govern
ment itself in that case submitted to
the various governments invited to par
ticipate in the congress a complete pro-
gramme for the government of the
body; nothing was left for the other
nations to do but to accept the whole
or decline to participate. Under the
new order the United States effaces
itself, leaving the other nations to de-
eide upon the subjects to be considered
by the con eress

ATTITUDE Of MERRIAM
Says He Was Not Opposed to
Labor Unions.
ONLY CRIMINAL ACTS
WAS ALSO AGAINST PERMAN-
EMIT MARTIAL LAW.
Believed That State of Idaho Should
Assume Control of Affairs in the
Occur d'Alenes at the Earliest
Possible Moment-Testimony of
Reporter Mallott.

Washington, April 14.-Connor Nal
lott continued his testimony today be-
fore the Occur d'Alene investigation.
He said he was present at a private
meeting at Wardner, called by business
men with a view TO committing General
Merriam to permanent establishment
OF martial law in the Occur d'Alenes.
General Merriam stated at the meeting,
however. that he was unaiterably op-
posed to such permanent policy; that
it would amount to taking a section out
of the state and placing it under fed
eral jurisdiction. and that the state
should assume full control Of affairs at
the earliest possible moment
1t was the witness understanding at
the time that General Merriam stated
that congress should enact laws max
ing membership in unions a crime. He
had so reported to his paper, the
Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash,
but subsequently General Merriam had
pointed out that his language had been
miSconStrued.
1t was the witness understanding
that General Merriam stated that or
CARNATIONS of a criminal character
should be reached by congress. 1t was
General Merriam's version of the
statement, the witness said, that his
objection was not to unions, but TO
criminal acts which they might resort
to. No shorthand notes of General
Merriam's statement were taken. but
a condensed quotation of his remarks
was made.
The whole purport of General
Merriam's remarks, the witness said,
at another point, was against the al
legged criminal organizations which had
developed in the Occur d'Alenes, and
not against labor organizations in gen
eral
The investigation went over until
Monday

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.


The wind was east, and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed drearv.
For nobody smiled, and nobody joked.
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
croaked,
They had come home chilled and weary.
Then opened the door, and a girl came in:
Oh, she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
chin,
But her ssaile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold and
damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended The fire, and lighted the
lamp,
And she put on the place different
From that it hal had without her
Her dress, which was something in sober
brown,
And with dampness nearly dripping,
SHE changed for bright, warm, crimson
gown,
And she looked SO gay when she so came
down
They forgot that the air was nipping.
They forgot that the house was duh
old place.
And smoky from base to rafter.
And gloom departed from every face
AS they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl who will smile and
sing
And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is a lesser thing.
But a kind, unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.
Mary A. Gillette, in Youths Compan-
ion
