Which is Being Successful
 Iy Waged in Africa THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
On the Occasion of the Completion of Large Mis- sion Fund-It is Well to Take Interest i'll Neigh bors' Affairs

New York. Dec. 13-With smiling reference to the attack of the Meth odist church on Africa" President Taft addressed a gathering in Carnegie hal tonight. the diamond jubilee of the Methodist Episcopal church. called for the completion of the campaign start ed in January whereby s300,167 has been raised to further the mission work in Africa
 Tt is not perhaps. appropriate to date the religious movement from a war" said he, but it does seem to me as if Americans had acquired a world feeling from the time they undertook the responsibilities of freeing Cuba. saying what should be done by our neighbors. with reference to internal government. when that internal gov ernment seemed to us to pass the bounds what We thought to be civ ilization.
 We began our war expecting to fin ish shortly. and we landed in the Phil ippines, and are there still, by req son of responsibilities we have been obliged to assume. with reference to AtiC NOA VI t hAN eA4 ahNN NAha- tremendous power and tremendous wealth. and unless we tfse that for the benefit of our international neighbors we are failing to discharge the duties we ought to feel as members of an in ternational community.
 T have heard missions criticized. have heard men say they would not contribute to foreign missions; that we might just as well leave foreign na- tives savages and pursue their own happy lives and look after our own which need a great deal of ministra- ton. have come to regard that as narrow minded as the man who does not like music; does not understand the things that God has provided for the evolution of the human race.
 Missionaries in China and Africa are the forerunneTs of our civilization. Without them We should have no hope of cOnquering the love. admiration and respect Of millions of people we Hope to bring under the influences of Chris tian civilization.

AN AGENTS EXPERIENCE
Made Known By Woman Disguised As An Immi- grant, to a Senate Com mittee-Bill Introduced For Correction of Evil

Washington, Dec. 13.-The report of steerage conditions. based on informa- tion obtained by special agents of the immigration commission. travelling as steerage passengers on different steam CTS. was made public today through it's presentation to the senate with recom- mendations of legislation for better conditions. The conditions found on many vessels were appalling.
 A woman agent who was insulted and compelled to withstand repulsive privations. said: These twelve days in the steerage were lived in disorder and surroundings that offended every sense. The vile language of men. the scrams of women defending them selves, the crying of children, wretched because of their surroundings. and ev- cry sound that reached our ears, irri- tated us beyond endurance. There was no sight before which the eye did not prefer to close.
 Everything was dirty. sticky and disagreeable; every impression Offen- sive
 Worse than this was the general immortality. Fifteen hours each day I witnessed all around me an improp- CT. indecent. and forced mingling of men and women"
 The woman agent told of the ming ling of the crew and women in the steerage and she said the sanfe was true of men steerage passengers with women. Agents of the immigration commission say that on many of the steamships. men stewards and mem bers of the crew, as well as male steerage passengers crowd into the compartments set aside for the women and constantly pass through the pass ageway to such compartments so that no woman in the steerage had a mo- ment of privacy"
 Members of the crew" said one woman agent, never failed to deal woman passenger a blow when she was found standing on the frame work of the lower berth to get something from the upper berth. If the woman was dressing they always stopped to watch her and frequently hit and handled her"
 one writer tells of repelling advances on the part of the crew and stewards.
 She says: -The manner in which the sailors. stewards. firemen and others mingled with the women passengers was thorougly revolting."
 Senator Dillingham;. chairman of the immigration commission, introduced in the senate today two billssintended to correct much of the evil regarding which complain is made

zELAYA'S MAN NOT THE NAN For Either Revo|utionists or
 Washington ID RULE IN NICARAGUA
Madriz Persona Non Grata to This Government Be- cause He Was Caught in a Lie. Rumors of Bloody Battle

Washington. Dec. 13.-In a dispatch from General Estrada. received today. he relates some details of the re- cent meeting between his representa- tives and those of President Zelaya, in which he demanded the surrender of the Zelayan troops. He says that Vas quez. acting for Zelaya. refused the demand and said that Zelaya would resign his office in favor of General Isias
 The proposition of placing pr. Mad rig at the head of the Nicaraguan gov ernment is said not to meet with any favor from Washington officials than from the rebel leaders in Nicaragua. It has been stated that. though Madriz is recognized here as an able man, he is persona non grata with this govern ment principally because of his action last year in reporting to the United States. as d member of the Central American court of justice, that Salva- dor and Guatemala intended to stir up war. These representations later were found by Secretary Root to be without foundation.
 dispatch today from Dr. Guerra, a Nicaraguan representative of the revolutionists in Costa Rica. to Senor Castrillo confirms President Zelaya's intention to make Madriz president. Dr. Guerra declares that Zelaya's intentions are for further motives of domina- ton
 The attitude of Mexico. in regard to Dr. Madriz is not known. Estrada says in his cablegram today that the revolutionists are still firm in their purpose to name him for president and that nothing will sWerve them from their object

New York. Dec. 13.-Ready and with cool head. Mary Blair Brokaw. who seeks separation and alimony of seo,- 900 a year from her millionaire hus- band. Gould Brokaw. flashed again to- day through persistent cross examina- ton.
 At times you say your husband threatened to blow out your brains; did you believe him?" asked John Mc- Intyre. counsel for the defense
 Not when he wasn't drinking" re- turned the witness adroitly.
 Did he say he would or could do it? ?' persued Mcintyre.
 Tn Paris he said he could. and in the south he said he would"
 Well, he didn't, did he?" asked Me- Intyre as clincher.
 "'I think said the witness sweetly. you will find I'm still left"
 At another time there was a ques- ton as to what Mrs. Brokaw meant by 'paralyzed" as an adjective applied to Brokaw's condition on the night when she testified she telephoned his secretary to take care of him. Mrs
  "a condition of hopeless intoxication." and Mcintyre immediately wished to know how the witness qualified the symptoms of drunkenness.
 My varied experience after marriage made me an expert" she rotorted.
 The worst weather an Atlantic north eastern can show did not daunt the curious Many women. richly robed, motored over from Mineola, through the slush and rain and crowded the courtroom.
 Brokaw, just before the court con vened, gave out a statement in part as follows: I've been grossly misrep- resented by Mrs. BrolIaw and members of her family. Proposition after propO- sitioh has been made me by the plain tiff to abandon the case if I would submit to a large settlemen of money"
 Baldwin. Mrs. Brokaw's lawer, i'm mediately issued a counter statement declaring Brokaw's statement an un- mitigated falsehood.
 After these preliminaries. both sides got down to serious business. Mrs. Brokaw was asked if she did not once take poison with the intention of kill ing herself. Now, wasn't that only bluff?" querried Mcintyre.
 No. it wasn't" replied the witness indignantly. T wanted to die.'
 Cigarettes had proved an embarras- sing subject in Mrs. Brokaw's previous testimony. Today she triumphed over cocktails. of which she said sue had only tasted four in her life. Champagne. she thought. tasted much like ginger ale. Mcintyre began to delve into Mrs. Brokaw's bills for dresses, but her lawyer cut him short with the admis- sion that Brokaw had spent s3O.00O on his wife the first year of their married life
