WANTS LARGER
SITE FOR MUSEUM
Committee Planning to Acquire
IL Additional Acres-BOard
Chooses New Members

Little progress toward the realiza-
ton of the new Museum OF Art was
made In the annual meeting OF the
museum board, Wednesday afternoon.
Richard H. Weber reported that his
committee would decide on a plan
of action, within the next few months,
for raising additional funds to pur-
chase IL additional acres OF property
not now included in the art center
plan. No building plans can be drawn
until this property has be<n ac-
quired.
Lem w. Bowen and William p. Stew
ems were chosen trustees In place OF
Bryant Walker and William II. Muir
ply, whose terms have expired. Next
Tuesday. the board will elect q new
president to succeed President
Walker.
1t was decided not to ask the char
ter commission for a onefifth mill
tax for maintenance of the museum.
A few hours later, the charter com
mission inserted such a provision IN
the charter.
President Walker, in his report.
recommended that the amount still
due on the museum site be raised by
subscription. or the property be mort
gagged, to- relieve w. c. Weber and
the estate of ]. L. Hudson Of carry
ing the debt Mr.. Weber and Mr.. Hud-
son advanced the money paid for part
OF the site, and were not wholly re-
imbursed. Mr.. Walker referred to
the situation as Anomalous and rath-
er disgraceful."
Acting Director Burroughs reported
that about 10000 people had visited
the museum during the four summer
months. He favored the re-estab-
lishment of the open hours from
to 5 o'clock, instead Of from 10 to s.

HUERTA'S FAIR WORDS
MARK CAMPAIGN
OF DUPLICITY

ceived the note by cable from Wash
ington, and took II to the national
palace. Huerta read II, aud then
asked O'Shaughnessy:
DO you want this note to be ON
cially accepted and answered by me?"
The charge cabled the state depart
ment for instructions, and was told
not TO present the note ofilcially.
Americans here believe that Huer.
tn, though he has relieved himself OF
embarrassment by saying he did not
get the Wilson note "officially," never
theless will respect Ii and not force
crisis In Mexico's relations with the
United States.
The situation is strained to a great
degree. but there are those who re-
fuse to admit that IL Is critical.
Huerta sympathizers say that the die
tator Is justified In what he has done.
and that II he be let alone Mexico will
have fair election that will clarity
the atmosphere and vindicate HuortH.
IL appeared today that the provis-
ional president Is likely soon to be
the whole Mexican government. Al
ready Is judgts of the supreme court
have resigned. and 1t Is said that the
others will follow, some of them being
expected to resign today.
Great Britain, Spain. France, Cuba,
Norway and Guatemala today we're
expected to order warships into Mex
lean waters to furnish protection to
their embassies and legati0ns, n
this action Is taken. Il will be In re-
Spouse to formal requests to those
governments by their diplomats, fol-
lowing conference OF env0ys called
by the Spanish minister, senior of the
corps. The diplomats asked their gov-
ernments to follow the example Of the
United States, which has q flotilla on
Vera Cruz, and Germany. which has
two warships on the way across the
Atlantic.
The conference also made a formal
request to the Huerta government that
5000 federal troops be kept In the
capital for the protection Of fore
eigners. Mexico City now IL very
meagrely protected, nearly all Of the
Huerta troops being In the field
against the constitutionalists.
Huerta's explanation OF his high
handed action in failing 40 members
OF congress was made today by one
OF his close adherents. He said that
the deputies would not be harmed and
would be liberated as soon as q new
congress is elected. This election now
10 set for Oct. rs. Huerta dissolved
congress and imprisoned the lawmak-
ers. the statement said. because he
had evidence that the deputies were
actively aiding the rebels by passing
arms to them.
Huerta has said that honest cleo
lions will be held at any cost, and
that he looks to the new congress to
ratify all OF his actions, the dissolu.
ton of congress, and what he has
done since.

Plant Of Many Uses.

In 1880 the congress OF Mexico ID
sued an order that none Of the state
documents should be indicted upon
any material other than the paper
made from maguey. This is the ma
tional plant. and some have insisted
that the very word Mexico was derived
from the word mex-til. which means
maguey.
The Mexicans do well to be CRATE
full to this product Of their country.
says the Ave Maria, for it is food and
drink, house and raiment to the Mex-
lean. Its other name is agave. or
century plant. from the popular fall
lacy that 1t blooms only once a Gen.
fury, whereas it really blossoms every
eight years.
The stalk of the blossoms reaches
to the height Of Is feet and looks like
a giant candlestick, for 1t carries often
as many as several thousand blooms
Many fields Of maguey miles in length
are to be found In Mexico. and there
is scarcely a bit of the plant which
cannot be used in some manner.

Bananas From Brazil.

Brazil. encouraged by the great
northern demand for bananas, is go
ing to enter upon the cultivation Of
that fruit in large way. An Amer
lean company has been organized to
operate in the state of Parana. From
day to day the lands Of the valleys Of
the Cubatao and Cubataozinho rivers
are being transformed into banana
plantations of great extent. The
American company will sell portions
Of this land and distribute banana cut
tings to agriculturists who will de-
velop their plantations with full assur-

their product. The company will buy

BENEATH THIS MANS DIGNITY
Was Willing to Do Much, But Drew
the Line at Acting as Secretary
to Barnyard Fowl

A farmer in one Of the neighborin8
townships, who had gone into sclen-
tific poultry raising. hit upon the
scheme of marking each egg with GER
tain data In indelible ink. His idea
was to find which variety OF chickens
laid best, and then, when the eggs
were Matched. attach tag to the
chickens legs. He soon found that
his hired man was negligent about
properly inscribing the eggs One day
not an egg was marked, and the farm
er read him the riot act
The hired man listened In sullen
silence until the boss finished. Then
he said:
See here. You'll have to get an
other hired man"
why Jim, you're not going to leave
me, after working for me for six
years."
Yes, | am" returned the hired
man. i've done all sorts OF odd
chores for you without.a whimper, but
I'm burned II I'm going to stay hero
and be secretary to any burned hem!
