MUST HAVE PEACE IN MEXICO.
The Approach of Panama Canal
Opening Makes it Imperative.

Washington, March 12.-The Taft
administra ton will maintain peace
in Mexico and in Central America.
With the opening of the Panama
Canal not far distant, the RESPONSE
Dilities Of the United States due to
the Monroe doctrine make it all the
more imperative that this govern
mcnt take steps to preclude the
Southern republics being torn by rev.
omt mtionary uprisings.
The vigorous action taken by Pres
idcnt Taft and his advisers I'm orc ~
ing a fourth of the United States
army to the Mexican border, in addi-
ton to the assignment yesterday OF
the protected cruiser Tacoma, and
the scout cruiser Chester to patrol
duty on the east coast Of that rcpub-
lie, proves that 1T IS the consumma-
ton Of this general policy that is be-
ing so clearly cxemplified.
To Prevent FilibuStcring.
There is good reason to believe
that the ordering Of the Fifth Divis-
ion Of the Atlantic fleet, consisting
of five battlcships and auXiliarics, is
part Of the general plan to patrol the
eastern coast Of Mexico against fill
clustering from this country.
Officials Of the navy department
declined to say yesterday how long
the cruisers Tacoma and Chester will
be stationed at Mexican ports. But
1t is likely that they will be plying
back and forth In Mexican waters as
long as there is any likelihood Of
the Introduction Of contraband Of
war from this quarter.
The statement from President
Taft's train Thursday night as to the
reasons for the extraordinary move
ment Of troops to the Mexican from
tier has cleared up the official at
mosphere In Washington, and yester-
day. for the first time, the govern
ment authorities were openly ac-
knowledging that the holding of man
oeuvcrs was only incidental to the
proposition OF mObilizing an adequate
force upon the Mexican frontier.

SOLDIER STABBED--RACE RIOT,
Mexican and Negroes Beaten ans
Houses Burned i'm Galveston.

Galveston, Texas, March Ia
race riot was p,caipitatcd early to-
day by the stabbng OF Winfield Joel,
soldier, from the camp at Fort
crockett, by an unknown negro in
the red light" district OF Galveston.
One Mexican and four negroes we're
severely beaten and the houses in
front Of which the stabbing occurred
were set on fire and burned to the
ground. The entire police force of
the city was called out to qucll the
disturbance.
Joel, who is member of the 144tfa
company, Coast Artillery, stationed at
Fort Moultrie, Charleston, S. c., lies
In Sealy Hospital seriously wounded
with deep knife wound in the chest
just above the heart. He probably
will recover.
Immediately after the cutting q
great crowd gathered, composed Of
soldiers and civilians OF both colors.
The soldiers and white civilians
attacked every negro In sight and set
fire to the house. The solitary po-
liceman who appeared and attempted
to restore order likewise was set
upon and wounded.
Realizing his inability to cope with
VIC oituOtioI lueU, the OIL
Ger sent in riot call and in a short
time every available policeman in
Galveston was on the scene.
The fire department had great diff
iiculty in flghting the fire on account
OF the crowd.
Order finally was restored and the,
soldier who is SUPPOSED to have,
wounded the policeman was arrested
on the charge Of assault with intent
to kill. His name is Alfred Burk-.
walter, a private in the Fifteenth
Company from Fort Barrancas, Fla.
Col. Bailey, in command OF the,
provisional regiment, to which tho
soldiers are attached, is investigat-
ing the affair, and courtmartias
probably will be ordered.

demonstration by the friends Of the
Defendants when the verdict was re-

Mrs. Hayes Shows Feeling.
For the first time this afternoon
Mrs.BHayes showed weakness, but it
wass0nly for a few minutes, and she
regained the composuro that has
characterized her during the entire
trial lSand has been one of the fea-
turessof the case. Just as the solicit
tor raeoncluded his speech she was
seen btg covertly wipe her eyes with
her handkerchief, and upon viewing
her#elosely 1t was noticed that she
was ssrying, but endeavoring to sup

ness peIvaded the court room after
the &Itry retired, and every noise, no
mattsES how slight, caused the de-
fend bts and the!few remaining there

Mrs. Hayes looked vacantly in front
Of her, and those who viewed her
could but think that at least the lit

lets into the body of Robert Floyd
on that winters eve, had awakened
to the realization of the crime with
which she was charged.
Suppressed Cheering.
For one hour and fifteen minutes
had the jury been out when a knock
was heard on the door, Quickly
learning that a verdict had been
reached the officer rang the court
house bell and the crowds hurriedly
assembled. Neal Hayes was far more
agitated than his wife. If it was ex-
pected that Mrs. Hayes would show
weakness in this terrible ordeal those
who believed 1t were disappointed.
AS the words were spoken there was
a slight demonstration. Hayes SEEM

free man, but smile crept over the
face of Mrs. Hayes. The members Of
the jury quickly walked to the edge
Of the bar and shook hands with
the defendants. A few minutes later
Hayes and his wife walked from the
court room into the evening sun
light once more free.

Safety Before They Are
Aware of the Fire.

Friday was observed throughout Ne
braska as Fire Day. in the public
schools, but the wisdom the legislature
displayed in setting aside the first FRI
dPy in November as a day when the
children in the schools should be drilled
in the manner Of escaping fires and
taught the method of extinguishing and
preventing conflagrations was nowhere
proven SO practical as in Omaha, where
a real fire occurred
At the Leavenworth school, Seven
teenth and Leavenworth streets, prepara-
lions were being made for the Usual fire
drills The children were lined up for a
quick escape from the supposed-to-be-
burning building.
Suddenly Tom Hamlin, the janltor,
turned in a fire alarm and the principal,
Miss Fannie Forsythe, saw wreaths Of
smoke coming up from the basement.
She calmly completed the fire drill and in
a minute the 600 children were safely
outside the building. just as the fire de-
partment came laundering on the scene.
The fire occurred in the boiler room
and for a time looked as II 1t might re-
suit in the destruction Of the building.
Unable TO cope with It at the outset
alone, Mr.. Hamlin gave the alarm and
then coupled a small hose to an adjacent
hydrant and was soon in control OF the
situation. When the department arrived
the fire was nearly out and its services
was not needed. The school was dismissed
for the day.
Children in the school were not aware
of the fire until they we're safely outside.
Fire drill had been expected and none OF
them was alarmed, as 1t is customary to
have fire drill suddenly in order to
prevent panics should a fire occur.
In the other schools Of the city the
regular drills we're carried out, the re-
mainder OF the time being given to in
struction by the teachers. The work was
done by the students In an eager manner
as a rivalry for the best reputation as
fire drillers" has sprung up In the
various schools. which lends an added
zest 70 the drills held monthly under the
rules OF the Board OF Education.
