way she became acquainted with rising
Young lawyer recently out of Wabash
College, Tom Marshall to their friends.
From knotty legal topics on which the
Young legal light conversed with the
iurist he came to talk books and law and
general subjects with the daughter
Books led to their exchange of opinions
and to joining the same clubs and to the
usual intercourse of young people in the
same social set. This friendship devel-
oped into love that was founded on congen-
ia:ity of ideas and on the most exalted
reverence and affection. So devoted is
the Vice President to his wife and so in
dispensable is she to his happiness that
nothing appeals to him which does not
include her also. Mrs. Marshall last
spring declined to read paper or to be
present at the Dolly Madison breakfast
here because she found after first accept
ing that her husband could not conven-
iently leave Indianapolis on that date. To
accept an invitation without the other is
not the Marshall idea of pleasure. AS a
witty friend of Mrs. MarshalfS says. she
will set wholesome example in fash

public except with her spouse
Mrs. Marshall has taken up the thread
OF social life here with a calm demeanor
which argues we'll for long race. 1t is
already apparent that she will not be
among the victims of nervous prostra-
ton. nor will she set a pace of nervous
energy which others might find difficult
to follow. She has held her own recep-
tons at her hotel every Wednesday, and
received hundreds of callers easily and
without obvious fatigue. She has been
present at many of the fetes given by
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters at the
White House. and has graciously ac-
cepted all the hospitality which her
former friends from Indiana wished to
extend Her reception to the diplomatic
corps given the second week after COM
ing to Washington was function of

next autumn Mrs. Marshall does not in
tend to take up the problem of a home

reside in a hotel. though this is mani

death might be that of man. He was
particularly anxious that his interment
should be accompanied with military hon
ors and when a promise was made that
his wishes should be fulfilled he became
cheerful and conversed with composure

versation with his Indian friends short

She is a noted housekeeper. one who has
mastered every detail in the culinary de-
partment, and competent to take up any
sort of service in an emergency.
Mrs. Marshall belongs to several clubs
in Columbia City and Indianapolis and
has Joined the Washington Club since
coming here. She has taken a keen inter

state and has herself aided in bringing
about many reforms. There are two
fields of endeavor in which she would like
TO see women achieve success before at
tempting to take on the larger respopsi-
bility involved in the ballot. One is the
domestic servant problem. at present
more acute perhaps in the middle west
than along the Atlantic seaboard.
Mrs. Marshall argues that women
should first solve every problem rela ting
to their home before they attempt the di-

poor servants are nearly always the result
of incompetent mistresses. OF course this
view does not apply to the condition
where no servant is obtainable, either
good. bad or indifferent, which is fire.
quently reported. But she thinks If
ordeal Of housekeeping the loss of a serv-
ant would mean less. She believes in
training servants. in aiding such societies
as foster domestic science and above all
to encourage the growing girls to learn
how to manage home. Every large city
in which women's clubs are established
she SAYS advocates the same theories and
many have classes for young and mex
perienced home keepers. while others try
to prepare girls for domestic service.
Mrs. Marshall is unalterable in her be-
lief that when woman marries, she

does not have every detail OF the home

humor and a neat way of turning

greatest JOY and the greatest accom-

her for creature comforts, for happiness
and sympathy an honor far more to be
esteemed than prominence socially or am

richest man in Mexico He is worth
something like $1OO.OOOOOO and is the
autocrat Of the state of Chihuahua.
Another man who has millions in this
same state is Enrique c. Creel who was
formerly the Mexican ambassador at
Washington. He is a son-in-law Of Ter
razas but is said to be worth about $50
100000 in his own right, much of it being
in Chihuahua His father was a Ken
tuckian, who came to this country dur
ing the Mexican war and later on settled
here. He had family of seven, and En-
rique c.. the eldest boy. was named after
Henry Clay.
Just across the border of Chihuahua is
the state of Coahuila, where the Madero
family owns its vast estates. which are
now liable to confiscation. and little to
the southwark, in San Luis PotOsi. is
Encarnacion Ipina. who holds more than
1.1OO,O 600 acres. Ipina has live stock which
exceeds in number many times that OF all
the cattle, camels and sheep owned by
job the famed monopOlist of the Land OF
and potatoes. Nevertheless, not one
twentieth of his lands are under cultiva-
ton, and his Indian workmen cannot buy
an acre to hold in fee simple.
Another big owner in the same state Is
Mrs Sarah H. De Lee. She has over a
million acres, and of these she cultivates
only fifty thousand.
In the state OF TiaXcala, which is about
half the size of Connecticut thirty mine
persons or families own all the land. and
this Notwithstanding the population is al
most 100000. In the territory of Topic,
which has over 10000 inhabitants, the
country is practically owned by thirty
one families, and in Tamaullpas lives
Manuel Gonzales, who owns three and
one-half million acres, or an area Which
is almost two-thirds as big as Massachn-
sets. Nevertheless, Gonzales cultivates
only one acre in every seven hundred, and
his vast horde of poems do not own the
land upon which their rude homes are
built.

ming. The trouble there has largely come
through Terrazas himself. who is said to
be as autocratic as the Car Of Russia.
He is now an old man, but his sons rule.
and it is they who are trying to protect
the property.
: l have heard a great deal about the
Terrazas family since / came here. Out
side the land the old man owns the most
of the public utilities of his neighborhood
and he also loans money at high rates of
interest. He controls the banks and his
income Is enormous. He lives like a lord
and entertains royalty on his great ha-
time. and he keeps up an establishment
OF servants fit for king. Some time
ago he asked the archbishop of the Ro-
man Catholic Church to dedicate a new
house of worship on one Of his ranches
The holy father came with a great corps
of guests and Don Luis kept them for
more than three weeks, making up hunt
ing parties and excursions OF various
kinds. During this time the guests had
white horses only, the old haciendado
having picked out of his thousands Of
animals those Of that color and had them
trained for the purpose.
Don Luis big estate came largely from
a grant which his father obtained for his
services in the war for Mexico's indie
pendence, and in 1896 he got other grants
for his own work in holding the state Of
Chihuahua against the army of Maxi
milan. He has, I am told, something like
10000 peasants working for him. and
some Of them are engaged in the present
rebellion.
Many Of the buildings on the Terrazas
estate were put up long ago They are
surrounded by stone walls twenty feet
high. with square towers at the corners
upon which there are cannon. The houses
are Of Mexican style, the flooring of the
patios being OF diamond-shaped tiles OF
different colors. In the inches of the wall
the patio itself is filed with all the plants
OF the tropics, while a fountain plays in
its center.
The rooms are large and they face the

patio, the windows being barred with
iron. so that they make you think of a
prison. Some Of the quarters are beau
tifully furnished, having paintings and
carvings imported from Europe. When
TerraIas went to the ST. Louis exposi-
ton he carried sixty members of his fam
lily with him. and he took a special train
for the journey.
It IL believed here that the day of
moderate sized farms is already at it's
beginning. The agitation as to the subdi-
vision of the big estates is increasing,
and besides there are numerous other
movements under way to give lands to
the people. The government owns about
% 100000 acres of public lands, scattered
throughout the various states and terri
tories and it is retaining millions more
from the cOncessiOnarieS who have failed
to live up to the terms Of their contracts
as to colonization and development. Most
of the public lands have been taken off
the market. with a view to resurveying
them and to the gathering of statistics
as to their character and soil. 1t is the
intention to plat the farming lands into
small tracts, which will be offered to
natives on longtime payments at low
cost per acre.
The government Is also backing a de-
velopment bank with large capital, and
this institution has been authorized to
issue one hundred million dollars worth
of bonds for the improvement and prog
ress of agriculture. Much of. this will
be let out to the native farmers at rea-
sonable rates and On long time. Some of
1t will probably be used for the pur-
chase of lands, and a great deal will go
into irrigation enterprises and into buying
tools and live stock.
There is no doubt but that there will
be eventually great deal of money
made in Mexican farming. and that. not
only through selling to Mexico. but in ex-
porting farm products to the United
States and elsewhere. This should be one
of the best corn-raising countries of the
world. Nevertheless. the government re-
port for last year shows that some H.

drags she will continue at the hotel until
the Vice President is also at leisure.
Mrs. Marshall will be a large factor
toward restoring simplicity to the ma
tional mode of living. She is well
gowned woman. and gives all the time
and money needed for that important
consideration of what one must wear.
But she is opposed to ostentation to con-
spicuous attire, to the reckless expendi-
ture of money for clothes, even when the
income does not have to be considered.
She is the type that breads the vLlgarity
which lavishness involves, and every de-
tail of her life is ordered to eliminate
display.
The Vice President inherited from his
father, Daniel VI. Marshall, a physician
of Columbia City fortune which was

no permanent peace without a move
ment toward a division of the lands, and
congress is now trying to bring forth
some scheme which will result in such a
division. One plan which is agitated is
the restoration of the communal lands
about the towns to the Indians who for
merly owned them. And there are other
plans to wipe out the feudal system,
which now gives few families this great
land monopoly and makes them the rul-
ing aristocrats of the country. The fight
of the future is to be between the land
less and the small landholders and the
land monopolists, and it will go on In one
form or another until Mexico belongs to
the many instead of to the few.
How would you like to have 5000 fam
lilies own the whole United States. Such
division would be somewhat the same
as that which exists In Mexico today.
There are men here who own millions Of
acres of farming and grazing land, and
who in addition have mines. houses and
gold galore.
Let me give you a few instances. The
biggest landowner of all is Don Luis
TerraZas of the state of Chihuahua. He
and his immediate relatives own outright
over 100000 acres of the most fertile
lands of northern Mexico. They keep it
i'm big tracts and the most of 1t is en-
ployed for stock raising only. Terrazas
brands 10000 calves every year. and he
has on his place enormous droves OF
horses and mules and flocks of sheep
and goats. He owns nearly all of the
land between Chihuahua and the United
States boundary, and you may ride fur
Their than from New York to Washington
on the railroad in crossing his farms
from north to south.
They are wider from east to west than
the distance between Baltimore and New
York, and indeed the boundaries are SO
poorly defined that no one knows just
where they end. The people here say
that Terrazas does not know how much
land he has and that he could lose a
thousand beef cattle and not feel the
loss He is without doubt about the
