Especial Gable 10 The Call
LONDON. April s.-Additional par
ticulars regarding the new excavations
at Pompeii are given in the Daily Mail,
which says that about eight houses in
the street of Abundance. leading toward
the amphitheater have revealed art OBJ
jects of exquisite workmanship.
The first house to the left is lofty and
forms the angle of the newly excavated
street with narrower street still bur-
led The house has wide door, above
which is a fresco some six feet long,
in which is depicted rejoicing crowd
playing around throne on which is
seated divinity. Many Of the figures
are playing citharas.
The walls of one house are plastered
with white stucco covered with inscrip-
tions. They are supposed to have been
written by women whose names are
written aslant beneath in angular
characters between Runic and Latin.
The inscription composed by these
women runs:
AS elinas non sine smyrine pro G
polio fusco rogant."
Probably this means roughly "As
Elinas and Smyrine say, vote for Fus-
cunas as your alderman.

Peter Johnson, master of the

their lives on the morning of

man who has taken a sea voyage
to get away from II, and every
morning the wireless bulletin
board gathers a large and early
crowd.
This was the case April /. The
first item that caught the eye of
the readers was a brief dispatch
from Washington to the effect
that the senate had passed the
sugar bill
A few genuine items were fol-
lowed by the shippers sockdoi-
oyer. It was a list of quotations
OF Hawaiian sugar stocks. The
captain with his little pencil had
put the greatest kink in the
sugar market that ever made an
investor squirm. Stocks of all
kinds had gone to pot One OF
the sugar barons with a grim
look on his face announced in
hushed accents that the decrease
in value averaged more than SO
per cent.
The purser was swamped with
inquiries as to the date of the
next sailing from San Francisco
for Honolulu. and for an hour
gloom. deep and dark, hung over
the Wilhelmina. Another bulle-
tin was posted. It read:
The attention of the gentle
men with the long faces is called
to the fact that this is April
Fools day"
The blow had fallen so hard,
however. that even this failed to
lift the gloom. and 1t was not
until Captain Johnson admitted
that the wireless had brought no
news OF the sugar bill and that
the stock quotations had been
manufactured in his cabin that
the sun had any chance .atzs'l1

DRESIDENT TAFT
L HOPES FOR BEST
By IRA E. BENNETT
TSseeiaI Dispatch TO The Cain

lOpectdt DLSpdfch 10 ne (dtt
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The United
States government is now marking time
in the situation involving its relations
with Mexico, and President Taft, ac-
cording to word that came from the
White House tonight, is confident that
it Will not be necessary to send troops
across the border.
President Madero's message to the
Mexican congress has stirred up no re-
sentiment In Washington The admins
traton Is willing to give every assist
ance TO Madero and to help him in every
move designed to quell the revolution.
From Madero comes the informal
word that there is every confidence that
that the army advancing on Mexico city
viii be vanquished. Orozco's army is
said to be made up of lawless men who
want to make their living by bearing
arms, and Madero hopes that the trained
government troops viii defeat the ad-
vancing hosts.
Emergency May Arise
As far as the United States is con-
cerned, everything depends on whether
Madero is successful. What is feared
here is that. if the advancing army
reaches Mexico City, there will at once
be an attack on American citizens. That
is the contingency for which congress
and the president are preparing.
1t was learned tonight that congress
viii probably pass the Pepper bill
which provides that the state militia
can be moved from the territory of the
United States in case of difficulties with
a foreign nation. This paves the way
for using the militia in case of hostiM-
ties with Mexico
The Mexican government il is un-
derstood. has only. 10000 trained troops
on which il can actually depend. but
1t is admitted. Of course. that volun-
teers would be called for the minute

today. an ultimatum was served
on President Madero demanding that he
give adequate protection to the railway
line between Vera Cruz and Mexico
City, so that arms and ammunition due
tomorrow can be delivered to American
citizens in the capital.
This ultimatum was embodied in a
comprehensive cablegram to Ambas-
sador Wilson instructing him to report
at once on the railway conditions. Tt
was stated specifically that any strike
that might interfere with the delivery
of arms to Americans must be ended by
force.
sIf President Madero is not able to
keep open the line between Vera Cruz
and Mexico, he has been informed that
the gravest consequences win ensue.
Interpreted by army officers in Wash

United States forces viii keep the line
open for him.

SITUATION IN LAWRENCE STRIKE TENSE-MORE
MILITIA ORDERED-DYNAMITE TAKES A PART

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. TO-
Every hour adds to the gravity of
the strike situation here, and
there is no saying what any day
may bring forth. Dynamite now
must be reckoned with,
Today'S developments are:
Harris Marad, four other men
and three women workers arrest
ed Marad is he who led the par
ade of Thursday when the militia
attacked the workers. =
No definite charge has been put
against these men and women.
But State Police Inspector Roo
ney conhded in reporters that he
had found 5 pounds of dynamite
cashed in coffee house in the
heart of the Syrian district.
Strike Leader Ettor branded
this as false. This city," he said,
SIS honeycombed with private de-
tectives in the employ of the wool
interests. They have been in
structed to go to any length to
discredit our cause.
when these five men and three
women are given hearing, it
will b shown that these detectives
placed the dynamite, and that the
workers knew nothing about it."
The police say the dynamite
was found between the joists of
the flooring of a rom frequently
occupied by Syrian workmen and
women.

Twelve companies of militia

more companies have been order
ed here. Martial law prevails.
Eighteen thousand union tex
tile workers, are on strike.
Seven thousand unorganized
workers are remaining away from
the mills through fear of being
hurt by soldiers or strikers.
Mill owners say 10000 men
and women are still at work;
strikers say half that number.
Strikers demand IS per cent adj
vance over old rate. President
Wood, of American Wooden
Company, has issued statement
that business conditions will not

One of the mills has announced
a ten per cent dividend on capital
ization of 100000, mostly
water.
The walk-out of the American
workers to the number of / 500
yesterday, has given added i'm
petus to the strike.
1t is cold here. Men and wo-
