Came Constantly.

douglas, Ariz., April 20 "Details of
Minister de Ia Barra's response to
President Taft's protest against firing
into Douglas by the Mexican federal
troops and rebels was received here to-

Barra is that Lieut.. Troncoso of the
Mexican federal army was wounded BY
a shot from the American custom
house, that shots came from this GUS
tom house constantly during the strug-
gle, and that it was not plain whether
the shots came from revolutionists,
who might have taken possession of
the house or from American sympa
thizers with the revolution present in
the United States buildings.

MexicO'S Reply to Demand ol
United States
FOR BORDER PROTECTION
President Taft Will Await Receipt of
Formal Note Before Taking Up
the Matter Further, 1t Was
Said To-day.

Washington, D. c., April 20, The
summary Of Mexico's reply to the de-
mand of the United States for greater
precautionary measures along the
border was received at the state de-
partment to-day and was conveyed at
once to President Taft. The Mexican
ambassador, Senior Zamacona, in a
statement to-day says that while the
reply referred to the "lamentable
events on the border" it is friendly
in form and essence"
President Taft will await the receipt
of the formal note from Mexico before
taking the matter up further. 1t is
said that the president is to-day dis
posed TO regard it as the usual diplo.
matte forerunner to formal negotiations
for greater preventive measures.
Officials Are Depressed.
The receipt of the outline of the re-
ply somewhat depressed the hopes of
the officials, who had confidently expect
ed a complete responsive reply from
Mexico. Withholding the official state
ments until the full text Of De LaBarra's
note is at hand the president, in full
knowledge of the fact it is reerimina-
tory in some points, is disposed to deal
with it leniently.
1t is feared that disposition prevails
in Mexico to make political capital out
of the activity of the Americans, and
this will promptly be resented if it APP
pears, as it is calculated not to improve
the good relations OF the two countries.

a FLOOD OF DIVORCES.

| The food of divorces all over the
| Cuitcd states is something that Is at.
tracting the attention of the serious
minded people in an extraordinary de.
gree at this time; aud we'll worthy Is
| that great food of the attention which
| 1t receives. We suppose that the State
of Michigan is not materially different
from other states in the prevalence Of
| divorce suits; but one might well hc
| appalled, IN seeing the figures present
cd bv the Detroit Free Press of di-
vorccs suel for in Michigau; and
| though the percentage ot divorces
granted is small compared with the
number of divorces, even at that low
percentage.
IT appears that Michigan requires
| the Secretary Of State 10 give IN his
annual report, the number Of divorces
| applied for and the number granted by
| the courts of that State during the
| wear. This report has just been made,
| 1t shows that al the opening of the
| year 1911. there were lU,ijO suits Tor
divorce pending in the courts Of that
suits were fled TO the number Of $3.50
| making 4 total of l6,0l6 divorce suits
in the aggregate on the calendars Of
the courts Of Michigan during the
present year
In these suits, divorce DEGREES were
granted in 32lb cases, and in only 63
cases was there refusal of dccrccs, a
startlinglv low percentage. The number
of divorces granted was about one III
| five of suits pending; the number re.
| fused was much less than half of one
per cent. OF all the eases tried there
was refusal TO grant the divorce in
less than two per cent of the cases. The
year goes out with some $4,000 divorce
| gan. a gain of some $500 during the
year. 1t appears. therefore, that the
courts were able to handle not much
more than half of the cases filed Iur.
| ing the year: so that the number OF
divorce cases on the calendars of the
| courts oil Michigan Is constantly IN
crcasing and it would seem as thougi,
the courts arc swalnpcd by these ap.
plicatIons.
| As We have said, we do not suppose
that the people OF Michigan arc ma.
terially different from the people OF
the average Northern State IN the mat.
ter Of applications for divorce; but
Michigan appears to be peculiar IN the
fact that a State officer is obliged to
make report upon the divorce cases
filed. pending, and disposed of, Here is
a hint for other States. There should
be such report made in every State
in the Union, and then the people would

GREAT COST OF CUTOFF.

The Lackawanua Railroad Company,
in Pennsylvania, has Just done a work
which shows the high Importance at
tached by railroad management to short
cuts and cutting down Of time in trans
portation. 1t has put IN 4 cutoff be.
tween Lake Hopatcong, New jersey,
and the Delaware Watergap at cost
Of nearly Sl1 ,000,0 900, and the cutoff
is only eleven miles long; that is, it
costs $1,000 900 a mile. But. by means
of it the railroad will be enabled TO
reduce its running time between New
York and Buffalo by twenty minutes.
This eleven miles Of new road. it Is
explained, is made up of a series Of
heavy cuts aud fills. accomplis sbing a
great reduction in grades, the avoidance
OF two tunuels and Strengthening Of
sharp curves. The material cXcavated
from cuts aggregated 100000 cubic
yards. The fills required $1,000, 900
cubic yards. Ono of the fills is l05
feet in height and three miles loug
All Of the seventy three bridges and
culvcrts are Of reinforced concrete, as
are the two great viaducts at the west
eru end Of the link The one which
spans the Delaware at Slatcford, Pa.
and which is the longest concrete bridge
in the world, as explained by the Phil
adelphia Record, is 400 feet long. with
five arches OF 80 feet span each. The
other large concrete bridge over Paul.
in's Kill IS even higher, and is 100
feet long. The work was begun in
1905. Nine million pounds of dyua.
mite were used in tearing the way
through the rocky hills. The cut off is
now open to regular train service.
This is the same sort of work that
Mr.. Hartman did so much of in
Strengthening the curves and reducing
the grade on the Union Pacific road.
The most extensive piece of work that
he did in that line was the putting in
Of tho Lucin cutoff over the Great
salt Lake, a work which is understood

WHERE IS THE BENEFIT?

Speaking Of the suit of the Govern
ment against the Shoe Machinery
Trust, good deal of skeptieism is
prevalent throughout the country as TO
the benefit Of that suit to the people,
even in case the Government should
win the legal fight. The theory is that
in such case there ought to be cheaper
shoes for the people; but will there beg
Probably not. \ number of writers,
chiefly theoretical economists and
academic publicists, assured the public
three years ago that cheaper shoes
would follow the removal of the tariff
