TAFT TAKES REST
AFTER BUSY WEEK
Spends Only Short Time on
Official Matters.

President Taft is taking thirty-six
hours Of rest to recuperate from his
week of strenuous visiting and speech
making last week, in New York and New
England, before he faces the tangled
problems which the recent changes in
the control OF the Senate have placed
before him in his fight for reciprocity.
Yesterday morning the President went
to All Souls Church with his son Charlie,
who has returned from his Uncle Hor-
aces gchool at watertown, Conn. Char
lie has finished his preliminary examina-
tions. for admission to Yale University,
which he hopes to enter in the fall. He
has not heard yet what success he had,
and is enjoying the usual anxiety OF can
didates waiting to hear their mark.
The President spent short time with
Secretary Hilles and heard from him
that certain Senators had made their
usual optimistic reports upon the Sena-
torial situation with regard to reciprocity
Mr.. Taft, however, spent a short while
upon official matters yesterday.
In the afternoon he motored out about
Ror1x Creek Park with Mrs. Taft, AUNT
Della" Torrey. and Maj. Butt. Aunt De-
liza is becoming quite familiar figure In
the big White House automobile. Folks
who are downtown at their shopping

MEXICAN WOMEN
WANT FRANCHISE
Nothing in Constitution to
Prevent Their Voting.
By HARRY H. DUNN.

Special Cable To Tbs Washington Herald.
Mexico City, June 25.-Five hundred
women, many of them belonging to the
leading families OF the city and state,
to-day petitioned the President for the
right to vote at the coming elections
There is nothing In the constitution that
bars women from theelectoral privilege
and Madero 10 disposed to grant the re-
quest and it Is probable that woman
suffrage viii be won in Mexico without a
contest.
The women have formed a club called
''The Friends Of the People" They have
announced that they will support Madero
and Vasquez Gomez as President and as
Vice President, respectively.
President de Ia Barra this afternoon
announced that an attempt would be
made to extradite Richard Flores Magon
and Antonio Araujo and the members of
the rebel junta at Los Angeles on charges
of starting a revolt in Lower California.
Eight thousand merrymakers, in car
riages, automobiles, ON bicycles, and on
foot, passed through the beautiful park
of Chapultepec Palace this afternoon and
indulged in battle Of flowers In honor
Of Madero. The little dictator" In the
midst Of the crowds, was pelted with
thousands Of flowers and cheered to the
echo. Bands played In every available
location. At o'clock Madero left Cha
pultepec, riding unguarded in an open
automobile, and came back to Zocala,
where the flower battle was renewed.
The streets, were a foot deep in flowers.
Madero's auto was stopped six times In
four miles to empty out the flowers,
which nearly smother the occupants

CRUSADE BEGAN TO
AID NEWLY-WEDS
Humorist Turns Reformer to
End ChariVari Habit.

Chicago, June 3.-Protection against
the hazing of the newIy-wed Is proposed
by Richard Henry Little, humorist and
war correspondent Of Chicago, after
some research work into the indignities,
sorrow. and suffering Of June brides and
bridegrooms at the hands Of their friends.
Mr.. Little has turned reforuer and head
ed a petition for reform with a choice
collection Of incidents to illustrate the
antics of modern civilization.
One was under date Of Rouo, Ill, June
q, 1921: After the ceremony, Mrs Dubb
was seized by her bridesmaids, and a
beautiful bird In three colors was tat
tooed on her forehead. Mr.. Dubb was
seized by his friends and relatives and,
after being tarred and feathered, was
ridden out Of town on q rail behind the
Justly famous Rollo Silver Cornet Band.
The event was one Of the most amusing
and delightful weddings that ever took
place In our little village"
Another imaginative bit follows; "Bia-
haviIle, Ind.-Miss Truly Lovely was
married here to-day to Mr.. John de
Smythers, of Chicago. Some Of the fun
loving relatives Of the bride set fire to
the First Methodist Church as the con-
aisle. De Smythers rescued his bride
from the flames with some difficulty and
then repaired to the home OF the bride
and attempted to have the ceremony on
the veranda- The bridegroom best man,
however, exploded a charge Of dynamite
unden the veranda Just as the bride was
about to say I will and the ceremony
was naturally interrupted"
For emphasis, Little gives the sportive
results Of q Chicago wedding party: "Mr.
and Mrs. Sweetleigh had escaped In dis
guise from the bridal party and taken q
train for the West, intending to spend
the honeymoon at the bridegroom's ranch
In Colorado. Dispatches were promptly
sent ahead to a brace Of well-knOwn
train bandits and the train was derailed
at Chuckee Junction. Outside Of broken
arm and a few minor cuts, the bride was
unhurt, and the bridegroom. escaped with
nothing worse than two or three contu-
sions and q dislocated shoulder. The
casualties attending other passengers on
the train VIII be found in the full ac-
count of the wreck in another column"
