PRAYER FAILS; NOW FOR
SOME KIDNAPPING

London, Jan. 6.-Not having
much faith in the prayers of the
non-militant suffragettes, the
militant ones are now planning
the wholesale kidnapping of cabi-
net ministers.
A party of husky sufragettes
stormed the offices of Home Sec
rotary McKenna, refusing to be-

lister was in the House Of Com

They broke into McKenna's.

ransacked bookcases, went

Finally the police reserves ar
rivedA and after a fight the women
were thrown out.
Six of the women were special
ly spunky. They were the. ones
assigned to kidnap poor Nc
Kenna.
The police are now guarding
cabinet ministers in their homes
as well as in their offices and on
the streets. Also, they. are guard
ing the railways, the telephone,
telegraph and postofice depart
ments.
Meantime, the non-militant
women are continuing their silent
prayers daily in Westminster

POLICE WHO TOOK LUNN
LET GOV. SULZER ALONE
Albany, N. Y, Jan. 6.-The
police of Little Falls, N. Y, did
nofdare to arrest Gov. Billie Sui
ger as they arrested Mayor Geo.
r. Lunn, Socialist mayor of
Schenectady.
Sulzer, reached Little Falls on
his campaign trip. He asked to be
shown the exact spot from which
Lunn had talked and been arrest
ed for quoting Abraham Lincoln.
Then, he pulled a bench up to
the spot and began speaking. Peo-
pie gathered quickly. So did the
police. Dusty Long, the chief of
police, was among them. Some
one: opened a factory window.
'Why don't you arrest him as
you did Mayor Lunn?" he yelled.
'He's doing the same thing"
Long scratched his head. Sui
ger went right on, and told the
people that no one had any right
to stop him or anybody else.
Little Falls police seem to
think a man who is likely to be
governor is some different from a
Socialist mayor.

TELLER LEADS ARMY into NUEV0 LAREDO
Their Base Of Operations in
Northern Mexico.

Laredo, Tex.-General Joaquin Tel
lez, at the head of an army of over
one thousand men representing all
branches of the Mexican military serv-
ice, together with four mountain can
non, five smaller cannon and other
artillery and a detachment OF rurales,
marched into Nuevo Laredo at noon
Friday, joining the federal garrison
there.
General Teller left Mexico City
three months ago at the head of an
army of 1000 men, reaching Nuevo
Laredo with half that number. With
the arrival of General Teller and his
army Nuevo Laredo will be desig-
mated as the base of military opera
tons for all of Northern Mexico, and
it was announced that from there a
vigorous campaign against the rebels
would be prosecuted.
Upon the approach of Tellex the
rebels evacuated Colombia and Hi
dalgo and began to march toward
Piedras' Negras to join the main body
of the constitutionalists.
General Teller denies the report con
corning the reverses to the federals in
a battle at Rodriguez on Wednesday
and claims that only skirmishes and
desultory fighting has occurred along
his line of march to Nuevo Laredo. He
abandoned the repairing of the rail
road track and bridges after rebels
had followed and destroyed one OF
two bridges which had just been con
structed.
Accompanying the Teller army to
Nuevo Laredo was a procession Of
several hundred women and children
who had been with the army since il
left Mexico City and had covered most
of the distance afoot. Most of the
women were burdened down with large
bundles of luggage.
! 1t is reported that one detachment
of Tellezs army left the main body
some miles distant from Laredo ant
proceeded toward the rebel strong
hold at Piedras Negras.

Baton Rouge.-The railroad officials

this week with a written proposition
in regard to the action the city should
take in securing the riverside drive
along the university and between the
l.. S. U. bluff lands and the Yazoo and

settlement of the difference between
the city and the railroad in regard to
the cost of the construction of the
levee. The Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley will have to move some switch

EMIGRATION COSTS MILLIONS ANNUALLY
Committees of Both Houses of Con-
gress Preparing to Press I'm
migration Reforms.

Washington.-While committees OF
both houses of congress are preparing
to press immigration reforms at the
next session, Speaker Clark is giving
attention to the other side of the ques-
ton. Emigration, the speaker SAID,
is costing the United States millions
of dollars a year in actual money,
aside from the loss involved in CIV
ing up a real American to be replaced
by a foreign immigrant.
1T is high time" said Mr.. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the in
fluence of emigration upon our fu-
ture These Americans who are leav-
ing us understand our customs, our
ways and aspirations, while most Oh
the immigrants who enter this coun-
try have to be taught these things.
In one week, not long since, 1,S45
American farmers with $36S,5OO In
cash and $145.000 in personal prop
erty. crossed into Western Canada to
settle permanently in British North
America. That is an average of $2SS
per capita and the week was below
the weekly average into the region
alone How many go to other coun-
tries | do not know.
These emigrants are among our
best citizens. l am personally &C
quainted with 200 or 800 of them.
There is not a bad or shiftless man in
the lot. They are seeking to better
their condition. The principal reason
they expatriate themselves is the lure
of lands and a less stringent Land law
as to homesteading, etc.
Congress should make our home
stead conditions as easy as possible
compatible with safety, and should in
crease the area for home building by
judicious encouragement of both irri
CATION and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult citi
zen is of the money value of $1,000
considered solely as an asset to the
country. II this is true, the 1,S45
American farmers who crossed the Ca
madam border depleted the assets OF
this country s2,37S,5OO, which, multi
piled by So, would make the grand to
tai OF loss to the republic $123,6S2,

presented to the institute a beautiful
sun dial, which will be placed upon a
concrete pedestal at some appropriate
place on the grounds, serving both a
useful and an ornamental purpose.
The inscription upon the sun dial

Clouet, in 1859. These gifts were &C
