The minority report also declared that
there were not enough attendants en-
ployed to take proper care of the pa
tients; that the method Of commitment
of soldiers and sailors was not proper:
that the superintendent had too much
power: that he should be appointed by
the President, and that the hospital
should be more carefully and frequently
inspected. The minority members. as

ment of patients was humane and that
cruelty of all kinds was forbidden and
frowned upon and offenders summarily
dismissed.

Wilson Sent Transcript.
Ambassador Wilson sent to the State
Department today a transcript of the
publication.
The authenticity Of the interview the
State Department finds it difficult to
credit. Such statements, calculated so
seriously to disturb the mutual confidence
and friendly good understanding between
the two peoples" the State Department
expects will be repudiated by the Mexican
foreign office and steps taken to prevent
their PRONUNCIATION.
The State Department says that Mexico
is thoroughly aware Of the efforts made
by the United States government to en-
force the neutrality laws, and of the
disinterested friendship of the United
States for Mexico and the Mexican peo-
pie.
The Official Statement.
The statement, as given out by the
State Department, is as follows:
1.-THE embassy at the City of Mexico
telegraphs the Department Of State that
the Diario, a Mexican newspaper pub
lished in the capital. has printed what
purports to be an authentic interview
with Ramon Corral, vice president Of
Mexico, given at Santander. Spain. The
version Of the interview Is stated to
charge directly that tho Mexican revo-
luton Is being fomented by Americans
with view to forcing Intervention.
THE Department Of State finds 1t very
difficult to credit the authenticity OF such
an interview purporting to come from a
high official OF the Mexican government,
because the efforts made to enforce the
neutrality laws and the disinterested
friendship Of the United States for Mex
known to the Mexican government as
they are fully understood In the United
States.
Threatens Good Understanding.
1.-THE Department Of State has made
every effort to prevent any harmful mis-
understanding. and there can be no doubt
that the Mexican foreign Office will take
prompt steps to repudiate and prevent
the PRONUNCIATION Of any such statements,
calculated so seriously to disturb the mu-
tual confidence and friendly good under

were some Of the topics discussed by DR..
J. George Becht Of the normal school of
feature address of the session last even
ing.
According to DR.. Becht. fear Is one of
the chief causes Of falsehoods told by
children. He said that parents often
caused their children. either intention Ally
or Internationally, to tell lies.
There are many instances in which a
child will be led on unintentionally to
tell a lie by its parents" said the speak
er. 'Thus q mother. watching her son,
who IL playing outside after he has been
told to come into the house, will ask him,
on his entry. where he has been. The
child will lie, and say proudly that he has
been to the store. The mother then will
ask him what he bought there. It is this
spirit that encourages the child to tell
lie after lie. The mother would be the
his evil doing. A mother who hears her
child tell lies and let's him keep on lying
by asking him questions Just to see how
last to admit will tell, places q premium
on lies. and is not above deception her.

organization of the committee on finance.
The progressive republicans have more
than Is per cent of the republican mem
bership of the Senate. This increased
progressive membership is the result OF
the direct expression of the will of the
people of the various states. Senators
representing these states have a right to
the same percentage Of membership on
the committee that shapes and forms the
LEGISLATION in the initial steps. That rep
resentation has been denied them by
majority of the committee.
I'VE believe this is q violation OF the
very fundamental principle of represen-
tative government. and is indefensible
from every standpoint Of justice and
equity. The progressive republicans have
the right to ask that they shall be siven
two of the nine republican members OF

to deliberately place in the hands Of the
ultra high-tariff republicans the absolute
control Of revenue legislation during this

Miss Gieiow described at length the

While mankind has looked with ap-

that a new era in the law Of nations
