flood relief fund. will be something of an
all-star performance

SWllDLER
CAUGHT AFTER CHASE
John Read, Alias John Ryan, Held in
New York for $780, 900
Steal.

New York, April 3.-John Reed. alias
John Ryan, who is alleged to have Oper-
ated clever bunco game in many cities
through the South, was arrested here
today, after a chase lasting two years
and covering almost a0.0o0 miles. charged
with swindling a wealthy contractor of
New Orleans out of 100000.
Read was arrested At the instigation
of NJ. l.. Depew, of the Southern Secret
Service Bureau, who has trailed Read
since shortly after the alleged swindle
was committed. Depew has been patient
~ waiting in this city for some time for
his man to return from Argentine.
Three DAYS ago Depew found that Read
was in the city and located him by
means of a broken trunk in an East Side
hotel.
About six months ago the detective al
most landed his man in Brooklyn, where
Read and a woman from Fernandina,
Fla, were married twelve hours before
Depew arrived and the bride and groom
sailed on the steamship Verdi for South
America. Depew located Read in Buenos
Ayres and through other operators has
been watching his movements for some
time.
Depew will rake his prisoner to- New
Orleans tomorrow.

GOV. FOSS PUTS TARIFF
VIEWS IN LONG MESSAGE
Favors Reciprocity as the Basis of Re.
vision-Wants Legislature to
Memorable Congress.

Boston. Mass, April Gov. Foss sur
prised the Legislature when he trans
United today special message in favor
of reciprocity las the basis of tariff re-
vision" He urges the Legislature TO
memorabilia Congress on this subject.
The message is fifty-one pages long and
appeared in printed form.
The Governor contends, after tracing
the history of the Canadian reciprocity
judged by our relations with Canada or
any single country. Reciprocity is a
policy for universal application
There are other countries" he con-
tinues, with which our trade is much
more important than with Canada. The
nearest to us are the republics of Central
and South America" In his message the
Governor contends that Jefferson was the
father of reciprocity, and he submits ex-
tracts from the speeches and writings of
the former President to prove this: Nc
Kinley, projections high priest, based
protection on reciprocity, he declares.
The Governor believes that general
reciprocity is the key to foreign markets
and prosperity. He holds that results
under the Dingley tariff justified recipro-
city. Our failure to apply general reci-
procity to foreign trade he terms dis
graceful"
At length the Governor discusses the
trade relations of the United States and
foreign nations. Discussing the situation
of our manufacturers and the proposed
tariff revision, he suggests that getting
square with big business is q dangerous
basis of reduction"
"A vote against reciprocity is vote
for the so-called Money Trust" is an
other of mis- observations.

CHINESE Recognition
| BY WORLD 20 WERS
DATE NOW SUGGESTED

Action taken by Secretary Of State
Bryan may result in concerted recogni-
ton by all the important governments of
the new Chinese republic. It was learned
yesterday that the note which Secretary
Bryan delivered to each of the foreign
diplomats at Washington notified them
of the intention of the United States to
recognize the new Chinese republic and
suggested concerted action in the mat
ter. Secretary Bryan's note suggested
April 8 as the date for recognising the
new republic. This is the date or which
the constituent assembly will meet to
elect a President for a regular term.
1t Is understood that several Of the
other governments have expressed the
opinion that the recognition should be
postponed until the new government was
an established fact, and until consti-
tuition has been adopted in addition to
the election of the President The Wilson
administration has not finally, decided
the date on which II will make the
formal recognition. and II there Is a like
lihood of concerted action by all the gov
ernments. 1t IL possible that the recogni-
ton by the United States may be post
poned a few days beyond April g.
The action Of Secretary Bryan In tax!
ing the lead in this matter and IN pro-
posing concerted action to the other
powers has done much to relieve the
feeling of annoyance which some Of the
diplomats here had over the way in
which the six-power loan announcement
was handled by the Washington admin
istration.

DISTRICT GETTING READY

Nj C. Hargrove, Purchasing Officer, Ready to Lei
Bids for Everything, from Silks to Steam
Rollers and Boilers to Beds.

carefree afternoon looking over items on
the Districts budget.
Ref1ectoscopes, steam rollers and sta
tlonary iron ratings are among the things
that Mr.. Hargrove buys whenever BUSH
ness Is dull. Screens, seeds. sand. and
gravel. soil. tags. and bages, are other
items He spends about $4,000 on meats,
buying all kinds and grades. He buys
concrete mixers, $4,000 of milk and
cream, fish, and game; also incubators
and brooders
Sundry articles, such as pianos, plants
flowers. trees. Photographic supplies
poultry, dictagraphs. newspapers. maya
zines, printing supplies. typewriters. fish,
game, and gongs and bells, also occupy
his passing attention. He buys about
$4,000 worth of hardware. He pays ap-
proximately $500 for ice, or slightly more
than the average Washington householder
pays under the inspiration of hot sum-
mer and the imagination of his dealers.
Paint lumber and fuel, with their many
kinds, form elements of his shopping.
Weed-killer ends the list.
The District carries ABOUT 100000 worth
of goods in stock, and If suitable ware
houses were provided might carry more,
Mr.. Hargrove and the District Commits
sioners have recommended the provision
for a warehouse for District supplies to
Congress, believing that such an estab-
lishment would be a significant economy
on the part of the District.
Proposals to be submitted to the pur-
chasing officer by April 16 will be for
more than a million dollars worth of
business, meaning that Mr.. Hargrove
will find himself more busy than most
of the Washington family fathers find
themselves at Christmas.

HUERTA MAY GIVE WAY
TO PEDRO LASCURAIN
Report from Mexican Capital Says
Dictator" Has Agreed to
Abdicate.

Ell Paso. Tex April 3.-Advices that
came straight from the Mexican capital
today say that Gen. Huerta has agreed
to the naming Of Pedro Lascurain as the
provisional President. in order that all
the factions in Mexico may be satisfied.
If Lascurain is named he will serve
out the uncompleted term Of the late
President Madero
Lascurain was minister Of exterior
relations in Maderos cabinet and, in
view of the death of both Madero and
Vice President Suarez. is entitled to
serve by the accepted rule Of succession.
The recent uprising of Zapata in the
south placing Huerta between two fires.
Is given as the cause of his decision to
offer this compromise.
Mexicans in FL Paso. who are con-
versant with the situation, say Huerta
has only 14.O0O troops upon which he can
rely in all Mexico. and these are greatly
inadequate in such a crisis as now
faces him.

I'm 1905 she proposed to me. and al
though I kicked and said l didn't want

All i got out Of matrimony was a mild
attack of housemaids knee and a deadly
fear of a dishcloth. She kept me around
the house all the time. and made me
cook and wash the dishes. I might have
stuck it out, at that, but a week ago

dition TO the men present at the confer
ence Wednesday, representatives from
Louisiana cane growers and Michigan
beet sugar manufacturers were present
1t was agreed to make no reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's ultimatum, delivered yes
terday. The sugar men believe that if
they commit themselves to either PROPOSE
ton submitted by the President yester-
day they will be stopped from taking
advantage of any legislative situation
that may arise that might otherwise re-
dound to their interests.
They say that vixen the tariff bill is
understood by the country there will be
a general howl of diHontent and Ii may
result in a complete rewriting of it. In
that event they want to be in position
TO take advantage of the situation Rep
resentative Oscar Underwood waited up-
on the sugar men yesterday and urged
them to hasten 10 a conclusion to the end
that the tariff bill might go to press on the
official print that Is to go to the caucus
next week. But he received no word of
commitment
The Presidents ultimatum to the
representatives of the sugar growers
yesterday was that they should take q
duty of 81 a/hundred pounds on Cuban
sugar, which would be equivalent to
s1.2o on sugar imported from other
countries, and at the end Of three years
sugar should go upon the free list. The
President stated that as an alterna-
tive sugar men could have free sugar
at once. The news was such a shock
to the representatives of the sugar in
terests that they retired to the Capital
for q conference, which extended over
two days, and resulted in the adoption
of a policy of silence.
