EDUCATORS ASKED
TO PASS ON EXAMS

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-Wheth-
Ter the entrance examination for the
naval academy is SO rigid as to be
virtually prohibitive, is question the
navy department is to leave to the
decision of a jury Of educators. 1t
become known today that the depart
ment stung by repeated charges that
the examinations will be illogical had
determined to submit the matter to
two thousand high school principals
and college professors.
Rear Admiral Victor Blue had or
dered $500 copies Of the last spring
examin ations. Accompanying each
copy will be series of queries,
which when answered by the educa-
tors are calculated to settle the con-
.troversy over the stiffness Of the ex.
aminations
Charges have been made in congress
that the examination is 80 unusual
that It serves to bar from the service
the average youth. Figures have
been produced for the purpose OF
showing that half the aspirants pass
the quiz successfully.

American Officials Lose Op-
timism Over the Mex
ican Controversy.
FEEL THAT u. S. HAS
DONE ITS FULL DUTY
Senator Bacon Says World
Has Been Shown That
We Are Friendly.

Washington, D. c., Aug, 1s.-Ameri-
can officials appeared to be less
optimistic today over the Mexican
situation, but still were waiting some
word from John Lind which would
make possible publication Of Presf-
dent Wilson's views already in the
hands of the Huerta government.
Chairman Bacon Of the senate for.
eign relations committee, conferred
with the president.
"At least we have done our duty"
said he. When leaving the executive OF.
fees he discussed possible rejection OF
the views of the United States. We
have shown the world our friendly in
tentions and it will not be our fault II
the suggestions are rejected"
There was an undercurrent OF dis
cussion of possible alternatives OF
which lifting the embargo on arms was
one. Mr.. Bacon declared that would
be done only after all. peaceful means
had failed.
House officials intimated the United
States would take a deep interest IN
proper protection for William Bayard
Hale, President Wilson's friend, who
has been sending reports from Mexi-
o.. Though Hale has no official status,
his presence in Mexico has been hotly
attacked by Mexican newspapers.

Judge Anderson this morning heard
the last of the evidence in the case OF

T|[[MAN ATTACKS
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
SOUTHERN SENATOR SAYS IT
MEAN THE DEGRADATION OF
WoMANHoOD.

Washington, D. g., Aug. 1S.-Senator
Tillman, showing some OF the old time
yigor that won him the sobriQuet OF
'Pitchfork Ben," pitched into woman
outrage in a senate speech today.
1T is a beautiful dream" said he,
that female suffrage will purify
politics. The vital and important
thing for us to consider Is the effect
on women themselves. We had better
endure the evils of corruption in
politics and debauchery in our govern
ment rather than bring about condi-
ton which will mar the beauty and
dim the lustre of the glorious woman
hood to which we have been &C
customed all our lives.
"We can better afford to have de-
graded and corrupt politics than de-
graded and bad women. To have both
in every increasing degree, as was the
case in Rome, would make the world
so unspeakably horrible, as well as cor
rupt that good men and women both
would disappear from the face OF the
earth and civilization would be blotted
out like it was in the dark ages after
the fall of Rome.
81 am so thoroughly a convert to the
belief that you cannot touch pitch
without being defiled that l shudder
to think of the consequences to the
womanhood OF America should SUI
frage become universal, taking In both
sexes and all races. Yet the expert
ment is going to be tried, l fear"
Demand 10 Growing.
Senator Tillman said the demand OF
women for suffrage was growing too
fast to be stopped by "old foggies'
like himself and that it was apparent
the men Of the country would give
them what they demanded, even
though 1t be to their ultimate injury.
ri believe women will improve
politics." said he, but ultimately
politics will destroy her as we know
her. and love her, and when our good
women are no longer to be found and
we have lost the breed, the doom OF
the republic is near"
E Senator Tillman included in his
speech a vigorous attack on the
divorce evil and referred to the Diggs-
Gaminnettt white slave cases in GsN
fornia.
sIf the California man had our GUS
stoms," he cried "Diggs and Cant
netti would not be alive now, because
they would have been shot like dogs
and the fathers Of the girls they have
ruined would have been acquitted al
most without the jury leaving the box
The unwritten law is the best law to
protect women's virtue that ! have
heard of. The more think about the
Diggs Caminetti case the more out
ragged grow at the state Of morals
and society which not only permit
such crimes but encourages them"
& The danger from woman suffrage,
said Senator Tillman, was increased
by the "cowardice Of public men every

IN BATTLE WITH FEDERALs

Eagle Pass, Tex, Aug. 18.-Constitu-
tionalists were defeated in their three
days battle with federals last week
near Abasolo, about 100 miles south Of
here in Coahuila. They retreated Sat
urday and yesterday, declaring they
had not sufficient ammunition to reply
to the federal fire. About 900 men
were engaged on both sides.
No estimate Of killed and wounded
has reached here although several
wounded constitutionalists have been
brought to Pedras Negras
Jesus Carranza, brother Of the con.
stitutionalist leader, has gone to the
front with reinforcements today.
The result of the federal success
seems to be the driving Of wedge
northward almost to the center OF
Carranza's stronghold and this wedge
seems designed to separate him from
his military capital at Pedras Negras.
Carranza for weeks has been In the
vicinity Of Torreon on the southwest
