FROM WASHINGTON

The Mexican federals and insurrectos
will be given one more trial before the
United States takes steps to intervene.
That this is the administration attitude
was revealed today in the orders sent to
the American troops at Douglas, Arlz.,
where the citizens are hourly expecting
desperate battle to begin across the
border. Assurances were received from
both federals and insurrectos that they
will prevent the endangering OF Amerl-
can lives during the coming attack on
Aqua Prieta. The Mexican authorl-
ties have released A. II. Saleebv, an
American, who was arrested at Mexico
for attempting to induce federal soldiers
to desert.

A Denial.

Cleveland, April 17.-Judge Sanford
B. Dole, Of the the United States Dis
trict Court Of Honolulu, and at one
time head OF the provincial government
there, today denied that Miss Annie
Douglas Graham, vino is TO be married
to jay Gould, is a princess Of royal
blood. Dole states that Miss Graham
is the granddaughter Of a Mrs. Coney,

SAYS WOMAN isOEEONER ORDER

That woman is lower ordes OF being
than man and that she has not develop
ed as rapidly from the barbaric state as
man is the latest astonishing assertion
made by Prof. Dudley A. Sargent
head of the department OF physical cul-
ture at Harvard and director OF the Sar-
gent Gymnasium for women IN Cam
bridge.
Women is nearer the savage state
thanman, says DR.. Sargent. Her
development is more primitive than
mans Just as the Indian is more print
tive than a white man.
Woman being, biologically, more of
barbarian than man, she has greater
proportion OF physical endurance She
can undergo many strains thata man
cannot.
Women accumulate energy while
men expend it. Women have been
developing their muscles while men
have been developing their brains
