EIGHT H|LLMAN
 NURSES GRADUATE
Charge Delivered to Class by Dr. ". P. McAdory-The
 List of Graduates

Eight girls graduated last night from tke nurses school at the Hillman hos pital and are now full-hedged trained nurses. Their names are Miss Annie Lynn Miss Mary Barron. Mrs. Ollie B. watterson, Miss Alma Clark, Miss. Ro- berta Johnson, Mrs. Mabel c. Gray, Miss Clara Bell and Miss Mary Horne Hail.
 A very interesting and impressive programme was carried out and the class of young nurses appeared very charming as they received their d. plomas Many friends of members of tho graduating class were present |. pr. W. P. McAdory delivered tho charge to the class, which was, in part, as follows:
 You have chosen for yourself a pro- fession and so long as you practice it remember that it is a profession as distinct as is medicine or the law. You have now reached your graduation stitution into the active practice of your profession. now what are you go ing to do with 1t?
 If you would get work and keep if, you must be neat in personal ap- pearance, always cheerful, absolutely loyal to the physician in charge and keep your mouth shut these seem to be so apparent that I hardly know what further to say about them.
 When I was asked over the phone to deliver this charge I turned to a friend, a layman. and told him what had agreed to do. He said, Above all things, tell the nurses to always in the sick room look their best and so always be cheerful "Be absolutely loyal to the physi- clan in charge-remember always that it makes no difference what you may think of the physician who isatreat- ling the case-the family who has called him in are paying him and trust him. And remember also that the best results can be accomplished by a thor ough cooperation on the part of nurse and physician.
 There Is no one, except 1t be the family physician, who gets closer 10 the people than does the nurse. As you come into intimate contact with the lives and habits of people in your pro- fossional capacity you will necessarily open the closet and see the family skeleton more often than you wish remember that these condolences arc sacred and if you hear and now do not make up your mind to keep your mouth shut-quit. Remember that the things you learn in your professional prac- tice are absolutely, eternally and con-
 indously sacred and keep your mouth shut.
 When you get your first case, re- member these and the family will rec omnend you to their friends and the physician will be glad to have you. and you will gradually build for your self a lineup of doctors and a clier tele of families that will more than keep you busy"
 The programme was as follows:
 Piano solo, waltz, from Faust (Gou- ncd).

FINAL HEARING IN RATE CASES TODAY Contention of c. of Ga. and w. of A. Will Be Aired
 Before Jones

Montgomery. May 1.-(SpeciaL)-A final hearing in the Central of Georgia and Western of Alabama railway rate cases will start tomorrow morning in the fed eral court before Judge Thomas G. Jones.
 The chief question to be considered in the cases is whether or not the railroads are receiving just compensation for the amount of money they have invested in this state and attacking the reasonable ness of the acts of the legislature during Governor Comers administration of re- ducfng all passenger and freight rates. A report was recently rendered to Judge Jones by Special Master w. s. Thoring- ton, in which the latter decided against the state, maintaining that the roads were not receiving a fair return on their in- yestment.
 The counsel for the state at the hearing tomorrow will be Judge Samuel D. Weak ley of Birmingham and Attorney General Robert C. Brickell. Maj. R. E. Steiner of Montgomery will appear as leading coun- sel for the railroads.

SONS OF THE POOR
 ATTEND COLLEGE

Cincinnati. May 1.-Interesting statistics given out by President Charles w. Dab- ney of the University of Cincinnati show that a large percentage of students at- tending the school come from families in moderate circumstances as against the general belief that the institution was made up of students from the families of the rich.
 A canvass of representative body of the students revealed the fact that only per cent of the students come from what would be termed wealthy families.
 Seventy five per cent come from families whose income is less than s25o0.
 Thirty-five per cent of the student body come from families whose income is less than $500.
 Eighteen per cent come from families whose incomes is from 5000 to s7500. Nine teen per cent of the students are father less and are being sent to the university by their widowed mothers.
 The investigation proves further that 70 per cent of the families having sons or daughters in the university live in rented places.

 A very long telegram from General Huerta has caused much speculation and given rise to reports that terms of peace were being discussed by the federal commander and General Orozco. President Maderos secretary, Juan Sanchez Azcona. however declares tha [ 1t contains nothing of that nature; that inst cad 1t treats of the plans of the campaign.

Says It Is Not a Real Uprising of the
 People
JAPANESE QUESTION
 IS A HUGE JOKE
General Orozco Telegraphs That He Is Treating Foreigners Well-The Transport Buford Sails-No
 Battle Yet

Chicago, May 1-Senor Manuel Calero, the newly appointed Mexican ambassador to the United States. in an interview tonight, said he believed present out breaks in Mexico would be under com plete control within three months. Also he said there was no chance of a Jap anese invasion of Mexico, and that he expected no trouble between Mexico and he United States. Ambassador Calero, who arrived here from New York, will go to Lake Geneva. Wis. before going to Washington.
 'fThe revolution in Mexco,' said Ca lero, was started and is kept alive by the brigands of the Morelos state.
 "The Indians sold their lands, which the new owners fenced in. and when their money was gone the Indians. supported by brigands and natives of lower caste, attacked these landed proprietors, stole, killed and committed other atrocities. The government was called in to SUD- press these uprisings.
 People Not in It
 Tt is not a real revolution of the masses against the government, but an upris- ing of brigands and Indians, who are working for spoil.
 'The stories of the Japanese invading our sea coast and securing fishing leases is a joke when it comes to insinuating that it means war.
 Our government simply leases fish ing rights, and sells not an inch of land to the Japanese. Portuguese and other foreigners. That's all there is to that yarn. Japan can never reach the United States through Mexico and Mexico Is not going to war with the United States
 "The shipping of arms from the United States to American citizens was not stopped by our government. The arms were sent to a committee of Americans who distributed them. Other foreigners could have done the same thing"

buried beneath the flood waters of the Mississippi river, almost two feet above the previous high record, the fight to Told the levees at Baton Rouge became acute today No sooner would work ttain, carrying men and material be rushed to a threatened spot than d call would come into headquarters of those in charge of the levee work for aid in strengthening some other section of the levee.
 only one street in the city would be seriously affected by a break, but thls thoroughfare contains the depot tracks and yards of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad. all of the wholesale houses of the city and the waterworks plant
 The possibility of danger to the water works plant caused a called session of the city council, to be held today on the levee, as a result of which the water works company was ordered to build a protection levee around the pump sta tion to insure a supply of water in the event of break in the levee.
 Small Leyee Breaks
 A small protection levee on Front street. which held back some water that came in under the railroad tracks. broke late today inundating the Yazoo and Mis- sissippi Valley tracks for some distance and flooding several places of business The break was stopped. however, before serious damage was done.
 For this entire section the seriousness of the situation increases every hour with a steady rise of the river. The only thing that can be done is to watch the levees, guard them day and night, rush a few thousand sacks of dirt to any weak spot that might develop and pray for dry weather, which is essential to the holding of the levee.
 Appeals for help are constantly com lng into the United States depot here. Several hundred people were reported in need in west Felica1a parish and sup plies were sent there today.
