Resolutions csystaIizlns the senti-
ments which have inspired the 1es-
sions Of the Third Peace Congress,
and marking the development Of the
peace movement throughout the coun-
try, were adopted by the delegates to
the congress in Baltimore. They con-
tain a hearty endorsement Of the Fed
.eral administration for its efforts in
behalf OF worldwide peace through
the treaty of arbitration with Great
Britain and for the establishment Of
the international prize court and OF
the international court OF arbltral JUS
tice.
Another women's Acknowledgement
bin was introduced In the English
house OF commons by Sir George
Kemp, Liberal member from Manches-
ter The measure confers the right
to vote upon every woman possessed
Of the household qualification, but it is
provided that married women shall not
be permitted in the same constituency
with their husbands. 1t is calculated
that such legislation would enfran-
chise 100000 women. The bill pass
ed the second reading stage by a vote
of 255 to SO.
It was indicated that indictments
for perjury were likely as a result OF
some evidence given before the grand
jury in connection with the Ohio leg
islature bribery investigation II also
was made clear that lobbyists would
be indicted IL sufficient testimony can
be secured to convict. The intimation
was given out that the Investigation
of brihe offers would not be confined
to men who handled money, but those
who supplied it would not be immune.
1t is said a score OF detectives are IN
the city.
Charles H. Hyde Of New York City
will resign as city chamberlain at
once. Under Indictment and under
the fire Of practically every newspa-
per in New York, he announced that,
although he is the victim of one OF
the most wicked conspiracies OF the
history of the city, he will relinquish
his position In order not to embar-
rsss the Gaynor administration. In
dicted secretly on two counts. one
charging bribery, the other with TAX
ing an unlawful fee, Hyde pleaded not
guilty.
Ohio legislators who hoped by tes-
tifying before the grand jury now in
bribery in the assembly
to escape conviction by means of an
immunity bath, were disappointed
when Prosecuting Attorney Turner
and Attorney General Hogan refused
to accept their testimony. Other i'm.
munity baths were headed off when
an investigation by legislative com
mittee was deferred until after the
grand jury finishes its work. Govern
or Harmon was witness.
International complications are now
from the attacks on for
eigners and foreign interests and the
apparent inability of the imperial
troops to curb the revolutionaries
about Canton, China reports show
that the present uprising is probably
the most serious that has ever been
known in southeastern China, which
for years has been violence-ridden
from the secret Chinese societies and
political organizations. With fire and
sword, the rebels are sweeping the
country, leaving trail of death and
outrage in their wake. There ara
few American interests in the area
Of pillage, but there are a number
of American and English men and
women missionaries.

Gaynor Believes in God

 "'Why do I believe in God?' Because I cannot help it. I simply know there Is a God and that settles 1t with me- have absolute confidence in Alim and am willing ito submit to whatever He wills in respect of me-. You also ask, What good comes from reading the Bible? An immense deal of good.

LAD WHO TAUGHT
 LAPS HOW TO ROOT

New York, May 7-(Special. .)-"The boy who taught the Japs how to root might be fitting description of 9-year-old Franklin Page of Chicago, who returned today on Laprovence with his father, Frederick A. Page, a retired merchant of the Windy City. who has been making a tour of the world.
 Father and son left the United States September with the University of Chit cago baseball team, in which Pat Page, a cousin of young Franklin, is a pitcher. The boy is mascot of the team, and ap- peared as such on the diamonds of Japan, where he rooted" in true American style, and aroused much curiosity and amuse- ment among the Orientals, who had not heard real roofing before.
 The Japs could not understand what he said but they knew from his jesticulatons and wild shouts that he was very enthusi- astic. The Chicago boys won every game they played in Japan. They have recent ly returned ands are playing a Japanese team that came with them in American cities. MT. Page and his son went from Japan to China and spent Christmas in Cairo, Egypt.

DEMOCRATS CAUSE
 REFORMERS' FEARS

New York, May 7.--The federal civil service is on higher plane than ever before but conditions in New York state are discouraging since the demo- erats came into power, according to the views expressed in the annual report of the executive committee of the Civil Service Reform association made public today.
 By the attitude which in the past year President Taft has publicly as- stunned toward the merit system he has placed the federal service on a higher plane than ever before" says the re- port. An even more striking fllustra- tion of this popular support of the merit system is to be found in the majorities by which 1t has been carried wherever submitted to the people by referendum. Nowhere when submitted as a separate issue has it been de- feated"
 The report finds fault as heretofore with the new state commission and de- nounces its "complacent attitude" to- ward demands from democratic office- holders for exemption and increased patronage.

ID EDUCATE HI:
 CANADIAN PEOPIE Campaign on Reciprocity to
 Be Launched DURING THE RECESS While Delegation Attends Coronation It Is Hoped Filibuster May Be
 Argued Down and Senti-
 ment Created
DURING THE RECESS

Ottawa, May 1.-The adjournment of parliament for two months, while Sir Will fred Laurer and the Canadian parliament tary delegation are in England attending the coronation. will mark the beginning Of an educational campaign for reciprocity throughout Canada under the direction of the liberal members of the house. The opponents of the agreement have planned a similar campaign against the ratifica- tion of the agreement. The government
 is confident that the result of the cam paign will be the creation of so strong demand for ratification that the con- servatives will not be able to continue their filibuster when parliament resumes, provided the United States in the mean time takes favorable action.
 1t is understood that Sir Wilfred was induced to propose adjournment chiefly to put himself in a position to insist that Financie Minister Fielding should take rest.~ MT Fielding has been under a great business strain during the last two years, having negotiated five international agree ments besides doing an immense amount of work on Canadian domestic problems, and during the whole time giving close attention to the affairs of his exacting de- partment.
 A slight stroke of paralysis which MT. Fielding suffered last fall did not check his activity, although those closely asso- ciated with him noted with much con cern the effects on his general physical condition. In addition to this the gov. ernment was informed that the United States Senate probably would not vote upon the agreement until July.
 London influence was another factor in the situation. When dispatches reached England stating that Sir Wilfred prob ably would be compelled to remain away from the conference and coronation the British authorities became a good deal exercised. It is understood that personal messages were sent to Sir Wilfred by King George Premier Asquith and other British leaders urging him to reconsider his determination to remain at Ottawa
 No date has yet been fixed for adjourn ment. It may come any day between May 20 and June 1.

regularly elected President Of Mexico
 for the first time in 1877. He was sue ceeded at the end of his term by Gen. Manuel Gonzales. His crowning achieves ment in the Gonzales administration was the abrogation of the law against presidential reelection and in 1884 he was elected President for the second time.
 There has been no other President in Mexico since then and until last sum- mer the opposition to him never att tained serious proportions He was elected President for the eighth time June 26, 1910.
 President Diaz's first wife, a daugh- ter of Dr. ortega Reyes, died during his first administration. In 1882 he mar ried Carmen Romero Rubio, daughter of Manuel Romero Rubio, a noted law yer and statesman. He has no chillrea by his second marriage. His children by his first wife are: Anna (Mrs. Ig- nacio De La Torre), Lieut.. Col. Por- forio Diaz and Luz (Mrs. r. Rincon Gallardo).
 Although the political campaign brought to light much dissatisfaction with his continuel rule, the disturb ances which eliminated in the present insurrection did not arise until after his opponents found themselves beaten at the polls.
 Francisco I. Madero, member of one of MeXicos wealthiest families was candidate for the presidency against Diaz, the principal plank of his plat form being anti-re- election In No- vember, 1910, Madero was convicted of melting the people to rebellion and was put in jail. He escaped into Texas and called on his followers to join in a general revolution, November 20.

Dry Goods Market

New York, May 7.-There has been a firmer tone in cotton giods during the week and some slight advances have been made on wide print cloths. Yet 1t is difficult to secure action on lines of merchandise for contract delivery and jobbers are still conservative. The retail trade has been back by climatic conditions.
 Fundamentally, the export trade this year has been fair, stocks of print clofhs in first hands are low, values on cotton goods are generally under the cost of replacement, from mills and pro- ductfon is being restricted because of lack of profits in manufacturing. Col lections from the retail tradee are not of the best. due to the slow turn over.
 Fall River sold 125,000 pieces of print cloths within the week of which 50,0OO were for spot delivery. Prices rule sub stantially as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S inches, GA 64s, 3ssc; 2S inches, 64 X eos, 8 7-16c; 3Sh inches. GA 64s. &c.,; brown sheeting, southern standards, Sc and SAc; denim, ounces, 14c; tickings, ounces, 1314c; standard prints, 5hc; standard staple ginghams, 7c; dress ginghams, 9&c.
