take the rather large task Of feeding
the great crowds lining Pennsylvania
Avenue from the Capitol to the Army
and Navy Building.
The building, toward the erection Of
which the profits of their venture will
go, is felt by the women interested in
the matter TO be real need of the
city. While definite plans for it's size
ard scope have not been made. it is
intended to make 1t woman's build
ing for the varied interests of women

with numerous meeting rooms. where
III. several womens clubs and organi-
cations of the city may hold their
meetings. Living rooms are to 'be
provided, too. for visiting women, and
cafe. kitchens, and banquet room
are to be included.
The more ambitious go further. and
call for modern office building. with
an auditorium, roof garden. gymna-
sium, swimming pool. lecture rooms,
and other features-all for the con-
venience and instruction of women.
The offices would be rented only TO
Professional and business women. and
the whole building. from basement TO
roof garden, made into a sort of
stronghold of femininity. Domestic
science courses. women'S exchanges.

other activity of interest 10 women
would have a place within this 'wom-
ans building"
Pretty girls in Puritan costume will
hand out" sandwiches and things to
appease your hunger on the day of the
luncheon while waiting for the suffrage
pageant The services will not be
charged. but there will be a more or less
modest fee for the food.

along the route Of march at frequent
intervals. so that impatient spectators,
and weary marchers as we'll. may have
coffee milk and choice varieties Of sand
witches. Near Continental Hall. the end
of the march. more ambitious luncheon
will be served in a tent. Here one may
find such deleCtable viands as scolloped
oysters and baked beans in addition to
the articles served from the vans.
Ten pretty girls viii be stationed about
van to hand OUT the provender, while
inside three matrons will be in charge.
A small army of both branches of the
service will be on duty at the tent sta
ton, and thousands of pounds of food
are expected to be consumed. Fifty
members of the federated clubs have
volunteered to help prepare the food.

NAGEL AFTER KEEFE.
Secretary Wants Immigration COM
mIssiOner's ResiEnation.

Because the commissioner is alleged to
have accepted passes for himself and
family from railroads and steamships
Secretary of Commerce and Labor NaGel
has made a report to President Taft, ask
ing that the resignation of Commissioner
of immigration Daniel ]. Keefe be de-
manded.
The acceptance of such gratuities by
the commissioner is considered by Secre-
tary Nagel of sufficient seriousness to
require the removal of the Commissioner
General of Immigration, because he in
his official capacity has to deal directly
with railroads and steamship companies
in connection with immigration cases.
1t is not known whether President Taft
will act in the few remaining days of his
administration or leave the matter to be
disposed of by President Wilson.

TURNER IN DANGER.
american Newspaper Man Charged
with Madero PartncrShip.

Senator Ashurst Of Arizona to-day ap-
pealed To the State Department TO en-
deavor to prevent the proposed execution
In Mexico City of John Kenneth Tur-
ner, an American newspaper man, by the
Huerta government. 1t is reported Tur-
ner faces death on the charge that he
is an active partisan of Madero. This
is denied by his friends. In his appeal
to the department. Senator Ashurst said:
There exists an abundance of docu-
nentary evidence which will show con-
clusively that Mr.. Turner Is in no sense
an offensive partisan of Madero."
Turner has been in Mexico some time
and previous to the beginning of the
Madero revolution wrote a series of ar
ticles rejecting on the administration of
Porfirio Diaz. Turner is now held by
Gen. Felix Diaz, a nephew of the for
mer President. and this increases the
fear for his fate.

Rixey and kiIlifer Sign;
Donlin Now Only Hold-Out

Eppa Rixey and Billy Killifer came
to financial understanding with
President William II. Locke yester-
day morning. and both signed Phil
adelphia contract before the Qualters
hit the rails for Brooklyn. While 1t
was known that Rixey was "A hold
out, there was considerable surprise
expressed among Phillie rooters when
President Locke also announced the
signing of Killifer. II was generally
thought that Killifer had come to
terms with the club. although there
had been no official announcement of
that fact until yesterday when Locke
handed out the names of his battery
men as enrollers on the clubs 1913
document.
This leaves but Mike Donlin out
side the fold, but the actor-ball player
is not causing any concern to Locke
or Doom by holding out. for the
Phillies' outfield is fairly well taken
care of now. since Dolan has been
converted into a fiy-chaser.
RiXey left with the club for Brook
Ign after signing. but Killifer will not
join the squad until today.

BILL COLLINS And TOOLEY
ARE RIVALS AT SCORING RUNS

Race to See Who Can Garry Most
TALES Over the Plate.

Bill Collins and Bert Tooley have
entered a red-hot race to see which
will score more runs during the
course. of the International League
season. Tooley leads the first half
of the Tigers batting order, with Hi
Myers, Billy Zimmerman and Harry
swacina to help him around the
/. cushions. Collins hasn't such a strong
: battery to come to his aid, but
) Eddie Zimmerman is a star pinch

!. of the Tiger eatchers are strong with
: the willow in emergencies
/. In the art of scoring runs Tooley
I and Collins are even in the two games
, played, each having crossed the pan
once. Collins, however, has driven in
. three runs with timely hits and has
! practically won both of the Tigers
games by his timely stick-work.
Both Tooley and Collins are light
/, ming fast ON the paths, and either
/, would make star leadoff man for
any club. OF the two Collins is the
. more daring base runner, and will
/. probably steal more bases, which per-
. haps prompted Manager Smith to
!, give Collins the job of second lead
. off mail.'
As a rule the fifth man ON the bat
. ting order has to start a round at
/, least twice during a game, and when
one end of the Tiger batting order
. isn't mauling the pill the other end
, can be counted on to produce some
! thing in the run-getting line.

Wyatt Lee proved yesterday that
he is due for one of the greatest sea-
sons in his long career. The swarthy
southpaw never looked better. Some
of the fans thought Manager Smith
was making a mistake in using Lee
