"SCI FA-ING"

Tho various kinds of work and diverse ment are usually known by the names of their natures. When one goes riding fin an automobile, he is automobiling: when one goes among the slums of city, he has gone summing, and so forth.
 It is supposed that in the future the man who gees for ride in the clouds will go aeroplaning or airshipping. Possibly the man who takes a ride un- der.the surface of the sea goes submarin- ing. But saN these names are refined names and are authorized by the best stu dents and scholars of the English lan- guage.
 Yesterday a man strolled in the court house in search of Deputy Sheriff Irwin Steele. He wandered about the structure for several minutes but could not espy the handsome young man. His orbs did alight upon Pete. he who propels the elevator of the courthouse.

On behalf of the committee Paul Leroy Bea ulieu of the French institute voiced the welcome to De La Barra~ He pointed out that Mex ico was the center of Latin culture in Central America Referring to ''her DOW erful. rich neighbor, the United States of America" he said that it was natural that the United States should have an important influence on the department of Mexico, but he hoped that it would be in the interest of equilibrium of Mexico and that the Latin character and original ity of the country would remain
 Senor De La Barra. after paying a tribute to French genius. said in his opin- ion the trouble in Mexico would cease as soon as 1t was seen that peace was a necessity to development He continued:
 "The people of Mexico are capable of supporting and enjoying a healthy. strong democracy. The geographical position of Mexico renders her position delicate. With a powerful and rich republic as neigh bor she has grave problems to study and to solve, but I especially want to refer her to the high sentiment of justice dom inating the attitude of the people of the government of the United States of Amer lea toward us''

IS AROUSED
 BY SUFFRAGETTES

London March 7.-The extent to which the window smashing raids of the suf- fragettes has aroused public feeling against them was evidenced by the large force of foot and mounted police neces- sary to protect them from great mob carrying an effigy of Miss Christabel Pankhurst. which gathered outside of the London opera house. where the militant section of the suffragettes held a meet ing tonight The speeches at the meet ing were tame and there was a notice lence.
 The public was practically asked to- day to help catch the window smashers. The commissioner of police issued a cir cular calling attention to the fact that under the common law anybody is em- powered to restrain persons attempting to do such damage and hold them until a policeman arrives and also if detected after the damage is done.
 The suffragettes resumed their window smashing operations early today. num- ber of them assembled in the neghbor- hood of the large dry goods establish- ments in the West End soon after dawn and enlivened things as soon as the shut ters were taken down. They attacked the plate glass with hammers which they carried concealed in their cloaks offering the hiding places. All of London was aroused by their demonstration. Passers- by did not allow the suffragettes to es- cape but detained them until the police arrived on the scene.

English Treaty Ratified

The vote on the resolution of ratifi- cation followed immediately and the vice president announced that the Eng fish treaty had been ratified by the necessary two-thirds vote.
 All that had been done so far had related to the English treaty alone. as that had been taken up separately.
 A sweeping blanket resolution apply ing the same modifications to the French treaty was submitted by Sen ators Lodge and passed.
 With this action the Senates part in the treaties came to an end The debate had been an animated one. Sen ator Hitchcock professed to find in Andrew Carnegie's support of the trat- ies to support a theory that the Eng fish treaty contemplated an alliance be- tween the United States and England.
 Senator Burton undertook to refute the contention that Secretary Knox and President Taft were at variance in their construction of the purport of the agreements.

PEACE TREATIES ARE RATIFIED BY
 THE SENATE 76-3
, tcoNTINuED FROM pAGE 1,s

-><~<~~ the democrats voted for the amendment and the republicans against it,,fbut there were exceptions. The result was received with many quiet manifestations of satis- faction and the opponents of the general purport of the arguments then went to work with renewed energy to procure further notifications.
 Senator Culberson presented an amendment eliminating from the terms of the treaty all questions of honor or Independence, as well as all questions affecting the vital interests of this country or of third parties. but it was defeated, s45 to 37. An amendment by Senator Bacon providing for wider elimination was at first lost on tie vote of Al to fl, but when later the provision was presented in connection with the resolution of ratification 1t was adopted, 56 to 36.
 First Amendment
 After the first action on the Bacon provision Senator Chamberlain or Oregon presented an amendment to the first clause of the first article or the treaty, providing that they should not apply to questions affecting the ad- mission of aliens into the United States or the admission of aliens to the edu- cational institutions of the states and the amendment was accepted by an affirmative vote of 40 tof3S. 4 j
 As amended the treaty then was re- ported from the committee of.the whole to the Senate and MT. Lodge offered his resolution of ratification, conform ing. strictly to the previous action and withdrawing, as unnecessary, athe reso- lution preserving the senatorial pre- rogatives. It was then that MT. Bacon renewed his effort to extend the scope of the elimination. which was finally successful.
 Senator Bacon undertook to do this by submitting his provision as a sub stitute for the Chamberlain afnend- ment, which. had been agreed upon in committee of the whole. He was suc- cessful and the Bacon provision was inserted after the first paragraph of article 1. .l

MeAlCD Allyt MATCH t.--f pll nu1uItu Americans gathered in mass meeting to- day to discuss plans for self protection in the event that disorders of an anti foreign character should occur In the cap ital. This action followed similar meet ings of members of other foreign colo nies. Committees were named to formu- late plans of procedure and to work in conjunction with similar committees rep resenting other nationalities.
 Approves Precautions
 The authorities of the federal district approve the steps being taken to protect life and property. The meeting was at tended ex officio by the American am- bassador who, in a brief address eau toned Americans against taking any par tisan attitude toward the political af- fairs of the nation.
 This Is the first formal action taken by Americans and was the outcome of a general feeling that has been growing for many days that residents should pro- vide against being taken unawares." Sev- eral plans have been advocated by va rious groups of citizens, one of which contemplated concentration at the abbat- toir of large packing company which, IL was sdlu, OneTeu ehCelleul IdcllltleS for defense. It's distance from the heart of the city was regarded as it's chief advantage.
 Apply for Arms
 Application has already been made to the government for 1000 rifles by the members of the German colony, which has taken the lead in the organizing. A number of concentration points, well dis tributed through the residential district have been selected to which the women and children in the immediate vicinity will be taken at the first alarm. These places are being proyisioned for five day siege.
 At a meeting of the Spanish colony. the largest in the city, at the Spanish legation today, similar arrangements were made.
 The governor of the federal district is quoted as having said that arms and ammunition would be furnished the or- ganized foreigners if desired.
 Minister Calero, who was reported to have declared that Americans in the cap ital would be held as hostages if the United States troops crossed the border, today denied having made such an asser- ton.
 Rumors continued to circulate regarding cabinet changes in prospect but no con firmation was obtainable. It was said that in all probability the posts of for eign relations and communications would be vacated by the present incumbents this week.
