MERCHANTS HELPED
TO RAISE FUNDS
sssas'
Program for Spectacle Which
Will Be Held Friday on the
College Campus, Was An
nounced Monday.

At promptly 1880 this morning one
hundred and sixty Earlham students
started out on the whirlwind campaign
to sell tickets for their May Day cele
bration on Friday. They started from
the show rooms of the Starr Piano
company in teams of two each to sell
the attractive triangular tickets which
have been designed for the occasion.
Some record sales have been made and
at 300 o'clock this afternoon the hand
on the large dial in the window of
the piano company pointed to 1000, in
dicating that that number of tickets
had been sold since the campaign was
started this morning. Assisting the
students in today's canvass were fifty
representative busines men from the
city. Richmond business men have
been assisting in the May Day activi-
ties from the first.
The merchants section of the Com
mercial club this morning issued di-
rections to their membership who
were to represent them in the CAM
paign, and have also issued a formal
statement asking that all Richmond
merchants excuse their employees who
have purchased tickets for the May
Day on that afternoon. BY noon today
several Of the large Arms had already
acted upon this suggestion, and made
it known to their employees that this
privilege would be granted. The rec.
ord sales among the business and pro.
fessional men of the city were made
by Mr.. Atwood jenkins, selling forty
tickets; DIR. c. S. Bond, selling thirty.
six, and Mr. Ben Bartel selling thirty.
five. At 10 o'clock G. O. Ballinger had
also reported a sale of twenty-six tic.
kets.
In Resident Districts.
The resident sections of the city
were covered by the students. Miss
Pauline White and Miss Agnes Kelly,
working together. turned in forty-eight
dollars before 11:00 o'clock. Other
good records were made by Miss Bond
and Miss Catherine Hartman, selling
forty tickets, Miss Marlatt and Miss
Wilson selling eighteen. Miss Adams
and Miss Henley selling fifteen, and
several teams brought in reports from
twelve to fifteen, and man more from
ten down.
The office in the show rooms of the
piano company will be open until 900
o'clock this evening and reports are
expected to arrive constantly from stu
dents and business men who are al
work in their territories this afternoon
/ Taking into consideration the funds
which have been received from foreign
sources up to today, and making q
rough estimate of the days proceeds
it can be said that between twenty
| five hundred and three thousand dol
lars has already been paid into the
May Day treasury of the college.
| Rehcarsals for Fridays events are
constantly in progress at the college
The big pageant will doubtless be as
sembled again this week for another
full practice and the plays which are
to be given on the campus are now
ready for their dress rehearsals. The
program for the events OF the day il

The revolutionary situation was thus

he would resign only when peace is

ANXIETY RELIEVED.

Washington, May S.-Political anx-
iety over the Mexican situation has
been materially relieved by the de-
velopments of the last "a hours, cs-
pecially by the news that Madero has
decided not to attack Juarcz. In
some quarters there Is also feeling
that the announcement OF President
Diaz that he will resign as soon as
peace prevails will decrease the ten
sicn that has been apparent for three
days. Nevertheless President Taft
and his cabinet advisers yet fear the
result in the Republic.
The resignation OF President Diaz
might make Intervention more neccs-
sary than II he retains power.
There is evidence to show that Gen.
Madero has the support Of other lead
ers while he has been engaged in
leading the revolution but It is not re-
garded here as certain that these lead.
ers will follow him now that he may
contemplate working for peace. Natur-
ally it is regarded as Of the greatest
Importance, for IL the revolutionists
don't agree among themselves there
may speedily develop condition even
worse than that which might exist
were President Diax to make efforts to
remain power.
President Taft and state depart
ment oficials quickly learned of the
sudden shift in the Mexican situation.
the announcement of President Diaz
and the order of Francisco MaderO
for marching of the insurrecto forces
southwark from the border and on
toward the capital. The removal or
insurrectionary forces from position
SO close to American towns as to con-
stitute constant source of friction
and menace to the good feeling be-
tween the two peoples is distinct re-
lief
1t was learned today that there il q
complete understanding between the
United States and foreign govern
ments regarding the Mexican situa-
ton So far as governments are con-
cerned no pressure will be exerted for
the present at least on the part of the
United States. The Taft administra-
ton is to have an absolutely free hand
in dealing with the disturbed condi-
tions south OF the Rio Grande.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT
The Only Course to Avoid Accident.
WantOn Disregard of the Rule.

Gradually the importance and the
necessity of keeping to the right
side of the streets and the roads is
being appreciated by individuals
who have been thoughtless in this
observance, but the rule which
should apply 10 street crossings and
turning the corners is disregarded
wantonly, especially by invididuals
in charge Of automobiles.
Every driver of a vehicle or of an
autO should be compelled to keep to
the right of the streets, especially
in making the turns at corners in
stead of driving from the right side
across the streets to the corner to
the left.
In disregarding this observance a
collision is inevitable with the
driver Of the vehicle or of the auto
who is keeping to his right, espe-
cially in making the turns at cor
ners to his right.

Prof. Aswell's Successor.

Coushatta Citizen; There is con-
siderable speculation as to who will
be elected to succeed DR.. J. B. As
we'll as president of the State Nor
NAL school. The two men most
prominently mentioned in this con-
nection are J. E. Keeney, who is now
president of the Industrial Institute
at Ruston, and V. L. Roy, who is now
in charge of the Boys Corn Clubs of
the State and who was formerly
parish superintendent of Avoyelles
parish. Both are men of ability and
we'll known educators. Many believe
that Mr. Keeney will 60 to Natchi-
toches as DR.. Aswell's successor, and
that Mr.. Roy will succeed Mr.. kee-
|ney. The board will meet next Tues
day to accept DIR. Aswell's resigna-
ton and elect his successor.

The Bond Issue for the State Fair.

The Importance and the necessity
for the Improvements at the fair
grounds have been made plain. For
such improvements which comprise
a band and grandstand $4,000,
coliseum and auditorium $35, 900, al
art museum $4,000, pavilion $4,000,
administration building and en-
trance $4,000, ladies rest rooms, etc,
$4,000, bonds are to be issued with
the approval of a majority of the
taxpayers in number and i'll amount
voting at the election which is fixed
for July IS.
1t is believed that the majority
will approve this issue of bonds, and
then soon thereafter the improve
ments as planned will be under full
headWay.
AS is generally known, the fair
grounds is the property of the city,
and its betterment adds to its at
Fractions. In the fair grounds prop
erty the directors and stockholders
of the State Fair Association have
no interest, but it is their aim and
their purpose to hold annual fairs
which are a direct benefit to the
city and its business progress.
1t has been manifest that the ben
efits which have been derived from
the annual fairs have been of great
advantage to the city, and therefore
fthe taxpayers are expected to vote
the bonds. Such action would be re-
sponsive to the progressive spirit
which is now i'll the ascendency in
Shreveport.
