STATE DEPARTMENT
HEARS AMERICANS
ARE NOT NDANGER
Apprehension for Persons at
El Rayo Mines Dissipatcd
by Good News.

1t now appears that several laborers
and not just one man was implicated In
the murder of w. III. Waite at the Es-
meraldas piantation in Mexico. 1t is
now suggested that, previous re-
,ports to the contrary notwithstanding,
that II. may ultimately develop that
rebel marauders were responsible for
the Staying Of the American.
The apprehension felt some time age
for the safety of the Americans al
Eel Rayo mines was allayed by a mes
sage today to the State Department
telling Of their safety.
There has been great deal of loot
ing in the town, however, and disorders
are reported from many other Isolated
spots
Z Huntington Wilson, acting Secretary
OF Stnte, said today that he expected
to hear at any time Of the safe arrival
OF the shipment OF arms intended for
Americans in Mexico City. The Sec
| retary had nothing new 70 say about
the diplomatic discussion under way
states pay duty on tho consignment.
Mr.. Wilson reiterated today that Cen
eral Orozco's representatives would re.
ceive no recognition upon their arrival
have. ii is said, is to give forcefuf ex-
) preston to the campaign of education
In behalf of the revolutionists begun
IN the United tates.
Regret was expressed at the State De-
pertinent today that the negotiations to
avert the strike on the national rail-
roads in Mexico have met with failure:
IT Is feared that the labor trouble will
very largely increase the disorders in
the republic.

RAISE MONUMENT
TO HONOR WOMEN
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Memorial Erected at Colum.
bia Is Tribute to Courage
Shown During War.

Next Thursday. April II, there will be
unveiled at Columbia, 8. c., a memorial
to the South Carolina women of the
Confederacy, tribute to their courage
and steadfastness during the civil war.
Joseph w. Barnwell will make the
dedicatory address.
The monument. which includes four
marble figures and an imposing ped
estal, was provided for by funds raised
by the men of South Carolina during
1909 and 1910. One OF the Inscriptions
reads: ITO the South Carolina women
OF the Confederacy. 1S61'65; reared by
the men of the State, boil"
The committee in charge of the sub
scription of funds and the erection OF
the memorial comprises c. Irvine Walk
er, chairman; T. II. Moore, G. A. Reed
John G. Richards, jr., and William r.
Gonzales, secretary and treasurer, who
also is author of the various inscrip-
tions that have been placed on the
monument. The sculptor is F. yelling
ton Ruckstuhl .- lssr
The memorial comprises a seated
asure. an idealizat ton of the Southern
woman who braved the misfortunes OF
the war, a winged figure bearing a
wreath and palms, and two small cher
ubic figures, attendant upon the winged
figure. These cherubs have excited
some unfavorable comment among
Daughters of the Confederacy in Wash.
ington who have seen pictures Of the
memorial They profess to be entirely
puzzled as to the meaning of the small
figures. The two large figures have a
sufficiently apparent symbolic meaning
hut the meaning of the two smaller
figures is not so easy to understand.
The last of the inscriptions to be
placed on the memorial, and the onf
that looks to the future, follows: "Ai
clouded dawn of peace they faced the
future, undismayed by problems and
fearless OF trials, in loving effort u
heal their country's wounds, and will
conviction that from the ashes of ruiz
would come the resurrection OF truth
with glorious vindication."

SHERMAN ACTIVITY

nomination and His Lieu
tenants Are Busy.

IL the New York delegates. in conyen-
ton, today. are not instructed for Pres
ident Taft, II will be the fault Of Vice
President Sherman. $3.50 ...st
This is not admitted, OF course. at the
White House, but II is insistently al
legged to be true y men who have been
callers at the Executive office, and who
claim to be Thoroughly conversant with
the hidden workings of the political
machinery. 30 .s -,.
activity 1t Is painstakingly explained,
is not due to any hostility against the
President, but arises solely from the en-
thusiastlc desire not to be sheived or
sidetracked in his hope to again obtain
place on the ticket as Mr.. Taft's run
ming mate, The Eice President, like
other men i'm political life, has many
enemies. and he fears he might mad
vertently be forgotten when the time
for really making up,the ticket arrives.
Friend of Barnes.
The Vice President Is not without po-
litical following. however and being OF
one mind with William Barnes. jr.. the
New York Republican boss. he thinks
1T just as wise to keep the New York
situation open until hts own place on
the ticket is assured. In other words,
Vice President Sherman is playing in
with Boss Barnes and holding the dele
gates In reserve as sort OF club to
force, him on the ticket.
On the other hand. II is pointed out
that 1t has never been the custom among
New York Republicans to instruct for
anyone in convention. eeept In local
matters, and It would be bad politics
now to tie the President down to q
platform which may be "reactionary."
However that might be, there Is no
mistalxing the fact that the New York
situation and the primaries in Illinois
kept Mr.. Taft intensely interested to-
The long distance telephone was busy
and telegrams kept coming from both
places in a steady stream. The abb
secretary. gave rise to the rumor that
he had been sent to New York to watch
over things, but this was denied In
behalf of the President. It would be
most impolitic, 1t was pointed out, for
him TO send his secretary to the Roches-
to have Senator Root there.

Several factors are working in favor
