Mary began calmly and ended in
utter confusion and pain-pain that
she must not allow poor, harassed
Mrs. Nelson to share. She had seen
Kitty's long white gloves on the
couch where Kenneth had carelessly
thrown them. Quickly, quickly she
dashed them back of a heavy pillow
and stood patting 1t into place as IL

And there was deep meaning in
Mary's soft cadenced voice.
The door opened. and with boyish
impulsiveness Kenneth Nelson dashed
into the room.

AMBASSADOR is ACCUSED
OF NOT DOING HIS DUTY
Grand Master of Masons In the Valley
of Mexico Brings Grave Charges
Against Henry Lane Wilson.

New York.--Luis Manuel Rojas,
second vice-president OF the Mexican
chamber Of congress has filed series
OF remarkable charges against Henry
Lane Wilson, ambassador from the
United States to Mexico.
Besides holding the official rank In
dicated, Rojas is one of the most i'm
portant Masonic officers in Mexico, be
ing grand master of that nation.
Rojas accused Wilson Of being re-
sponsible morally for the political as
sassination of Francisco l. Madero
and Jose Maria Pine Suarez, president
and yice-president of the Mexican re
public elected by the people in 1911.
He accuses Wilson of having thrown
the weight of his enormous influence,
as representative of the government
at washington, for the triumph and in
favor of an evident coup d'etat at a
time when the destiny of Mexico was
in the balance.
Rojas declared Wilson knew Madero
and Suarez we're to be put out of the
way, and declares: Il accuse Mr.. Will
son of having washed his hands, like
PLATE, when the prisoners were not
allowed to leave for Europe after hav-
ing signed for their resign&sions, thus
hooking Mrs. Madero and Mrs. Suarez,
who, because Of the assurances Mr..
Wilson made to them, were waiting
for their husbands at the Vera Cruz
railway depot"

SPECIAL SESSION
NOW UNDER WAY
UNDER DEMOCRATIC DOMINATION
BOTH HOUSES READY TO
WREsTLE WITH PROBLEMS.
Southern Senator Deprecates Plan OiM
President to Invade Halls of Com
gress and Speak His Mind to the
Peoples Representatives.

Washington.-Cong opening in
extraordinary session on Monday,
April Z, under Democratic domino.
ton, was enlivened by the, activities
Of the Progressive organization In
the house, and an invasion of peti.
tion-bearing suffragettes.
Victor Murdoch, leader of the new
Progressive party in the lower
branch, aided by his small band OF
followers, attracted unusual interest
and at the very outset stirred up a
fight over the seating Of Representa-
tive H. Olin Young of Michigan.
The heralding of the coming of the
president of the United States, to de,
liver his message in person, however,
was the principal subject of official
and unofficial discussion. The sen.
ate hesitated when a resolution
adopted previously by the house pro-
yiding for joint session to listen to
President Wilson was presented for
its consideration.
It was a stunning proposal. Not
in the lifetime Of any veteran states
man present had such thing ever
been considered. History, they sup,
posed, had closed on that custom a
century ago. First, an effort was
made to have the resolution lie over
under the rules, but Vice-President
Marshall ruled it was resolution Of
the highest privilege
Before it was adopted, Senator Will
liams of Mississippi deprecated the
presidents decision to enter the halls
of congress and speak his mind to the
peoples representatives. He express
ed the hope that such an event never
would occur again during the admin,
istration and said he doubted the wis.
dom of the move, aVerring that II
could not aid In bringing about the
legislation for which the people were
clamoring.
Organization of both houses of con.
gress was partly concluded Monday
Speaker Clark was reelected over
James r. Mann (Republican), and Vic.
tor Murdoch (Progressive), and other
officers of the house also were re.
elected. The Progressive strength
was tested on the speakership, Mr..
Murdoch receiving eighteen votes.

REHABILITATION OF FLOODED
DISTRICT AIM OF RED CROSS
Individual Must be Provided With
Work to Overcome Business Par
alysis and Funds are Needed.

Washington.-How the American
Red Cross has undertaken the rehab-
ilitation of home and business life in
the food-stricken districts of the mid
die west and in what manner that or
ganization met the first call for relief
from the sufferers in this diasaster-
probably the greatest with which it
has ever been called upon to deal
We're described in statement issued
Friday by Miss Mabel r. Boardman
chairman OF the Red Cross commit
tee. Rehabilitation of the individual
sufferer, declared Miss Boardman, is
what is necessary to restore normal
conditions
ITO continue merely to give out
food and clothing" she said, will
mean the continuation OF the paraly-
sis Of the all-important business life
OF the community. In many of the
flooded districts the merchants have
lost all their stock and had no flood
insurance. Unless an effort Is made
to aid them to start again, the bust
ress of the community will remain in
hopeless condition To accomplish
this the individual must be considered
and the rehabilitation of the individual
will mean that OF the whole city, town
or village,
while factories are closed for re-
pairs, men can be given work for
which they will be paid in clearing
away the debris. Thus a purchasing
power will be given them again. They
may be aided in the repair OF their
homes and thus employment provided
for others. Z
The establishment of the market
will enable the merchant to re-employ
his staff and thus again others can re-
turn to a normal existence. Where
men or women have been paying for
their homes by monthly installments,
they can be assisted in such payments
for time to prevent the loss of their
homes. All this great work the Red
Cross, with the generous contributions
of the American people, is undertake
ing.
