Offices of that road at Gamboa, Mexico
An interesting story is told in con
nection with the purchase of the Pan
American less than year ago by Mr.
Thompson 1t is stated that the st
Louis owners of that road had offered
the property to the Mexican govern
ment for approximately $10,O00,000 golt
and that the price was at that time
considered too high by Jose Yves Ii
mantour, minister of finance, WHO has
been the directing genius of the gov
ernment ever since 1t entered into the
policy of owning controlling interes
in the principal lines of railway of the
country few years ago.
Mr.. Limantour, it is said, probably
thought he would be able to get the
road at lower price than the origina
offer, particularly in view of the fac1
that the Hartman interests were moi
at that time seeking to acquire the
property. 1t was known that the late
E. H. Hartman had hoped to make the
Pan-American part of the Southern
Pacific system of Mexico, but his death
upset those plans.
Mr.. Thompson learned that the road
could be bought He believed thai II
would prove very desirable property
as an independent proposition, and
with associates bought the road for
approximately s11,OoO,00O gold.
Mr.. Thompson then resigned his po-
sition as United States ambassador
to Mexico to give his personal at
tention to the management of the
road. He inaugurated important i'm
provements and has brought it up
to a higher standard of physical eff.
ficiency. 1t is said that Mr. Liman.
tour and other high officials of the
Mexican government were somewhat
chagrined at the coup of Mr. Thomp-
son.
1t was decided, however that the
Pan-American should be acquired on
behalf of the government even If 1t
was necessary to pay a much higher
price than Mr.. Thompson and associ-
ates paid for it. The government Sc
cured an option on the property, the
proposed purchase price being about
$17.000,000 gold. 1t is stated. Mr. Ii
mantour, who has been in Europe for
several weeks, has succeeded in
financing the proposition and the deal
has been closed. The road is already
being operated by the officials of
the National Railways of Mexico,
which is known as the government
merger system.
The Pan-American runs from Gam
boa, station on the National Te-
huantepec railroad, to Martschal, on
the Guatemala-Mexico border, dis
tance of 275 miles.

than the assistant secretary, who Is
Mr. Adee was born in Astoria, N. Y,
November 27, 1912. He received his
education in private schools and Yale
has conferred upon him the honorary
degree of M. A. On September 9,
1870, he entered the government serv-
ice, being appointed secretary of the
American legation at Madrid. While
in that position he on several occa-
sions acted as charge daffaires. July
9, 1877. he was transferred to the
state department as chief of the dip
lomatic bureau. A year later he was
appointed third assistant secretary
of state and was made second assist
ant in 1886. His long years in public
life have given him a profound knowl-
edge of government matters and he Is
most valuable official, as we'll as .
finished diplomat. He was present at
the signing of the peace protocols be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Mr.. Adee was appointed secretary OF
state ad interim to fill vacancy In
September, 1898. He was also acting
secretary of state during a critical
period Of the Chinese trouble in Au-
gust and September, 1900. Although
Mr.. Adee is go years old, he is still

yere I1 New York today. Young.
pretty, and piquant, possessed of all
the attributes for q brilliant social ca
reer, she is the last person in the
world to be associated with the idea
of dry law books and crusty judges,
says Human Life.
Divorce cases are the only ones
Mrs. Mulliner refuses to accept. She
does not believe in divorce and will
not, she says, lend her legal knowl-
edge to the breaking Of the marriage
tie. But she has helped people into
happiness by using her knowledge of
the law as applied to marriage and
property rights.
Mrs. Mulliner is responsible for
the new law Just passed which Gre
ates a separate court for the trial
of domestic relations cases, and for
the trial of women under arrest in
a womans court. This was her work
as chairman of the legislative commit
tee of the New York State Federation
of Womens Clubs. The provisions
advocated by her committee have
been incorporated in the Page COM
mission bill on inferior courts, and
Mrs. Mulliner spoke before the SEN
ate and the mayor of New York in
its behalf 1t is her hope to see a
separate building erected for the wom-
ans court.
She approves of the law as a profes-
sion for women-if a woman must
earn an income There is no profes-
sion, she believes, that gives greater
opportunity for good results. But in
stead of an Office for women she
strongly recommends home and
nursery. "a cradle is more interest
ing than letter-file at the end of
day." she says; land no client can be
SO desirable as ones own husband. An
Office ii one must, but not unless one
must" And this Is her firm belief,
in spite of money, success and fame.

rests upon either the business or pub
lie social side of American life, says
Washington Post The responsibility
for such an outcome must be borne by
those who are in duty bound to give
their children right views Of life. The
sight of a young girl, however preco-
cious going to city like New York
without friends or advisers to whom
she would listen, and very evidently
head-strong and impulsive. there to
spend two years writing book and
precious manuscripts which she ro-
mantically wishes to be buried with
her, calls forth nothing but pity. But
this sentiment does not obscure the
fact that the girl was permitted to
gain a false view of herself and her
relations with the world. Acts such
as hers in no degree justify the whole
sale condemnation of the business life
of our cities or warrant the sweeping
statement of young girl facing at
once both womanhood and eternity in
saying that "a girl cannot get along
