AMBASSADOR GIVES HIS SIDE
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELAe
TIONs HEARS WILSON.
Members Seem to Ciffer With Presir
dent as to Policy in
Mexico.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson's conference with
members of the senate committee on
foreign relations resulted in stronger
support for his plan to recognize the
Huerta government in Mexico than
he has received at any time since
reaching Washington.
After a three hours questioning Of
the ambassador many members of the
senate committee expressed the opin-
ion that serious consideration should
be given to his recommendations for
guarded and restricted recognition
of Huerta, designed to bolster up the
present government until elections can
be held on October 26.
The determination of the govern
ment's Mexican policy does not rest
with the senate, however, and there
was nothing in the situation to in
dictate that President Wilson or Sec
rotary Bryan had wavered in their
determination not to recognize the
Huerta government at present. The
matter presented to the senate COM
mittee by the ambassador already
had been laid before the president and
secretary of state and their attitude
against recognition had been based
upon information from other conf
Dental sources, many of them at va
rance with the reports of Ambas-
sador Wilson.
Two principal points of difference
have been developed between Ambas-
sador Wilson and the administration.
These relate to the present control
of Huerta over Mexican affairs, and
to the conditions that would result
from the downfall of the Huerta gov
eminent. Ambassador Wilson told the
senate committee that the Huerta gov
eminent dominated affairs throughout
the republic and had driven the con-
stitutionalists out Of many of their
strongholds, including the states of
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
The president, it is understood, has
information, considered thoroughly re-
liable by himself and Secretary Bryan,
which shows the constitutionalist
strength to be greatly in excess of
Ambassador Wilson's claims and indi-
Gates that the Huerta government
dominates the situation only in
small part of the republic.

Calumet, Mich, Aug. 1.-The. at
tempt of Governor Ferris to end the
copper miners strike, through con-
ference at Lansing, failed.
The governors plan was presented
to both sides and accepted by the
union, but declined by the operators,
who, however, said they were willing
to meet committees provided the men
came as employees and not as repre-
sentatives of the Western Federation
Of miners. Such was the gist of the
answers mailed to the state capitol.
General P. L. Abbey, commander of
the states brigade of militia, carried
the governors proposition to the en-
ployers and employees.
Results Not Discussed.
None of those who attended the
but it became known that the opera
tors declined to be represented at the
proposed conference, whereas the
union had officially Endorsed the plan.
With the strike situation unchanged
generally, there is apprehension in
the community that possibilities for
a peaceful settlement are decreasing.
Scores of surface employees returned
to work at the various mines, and
renewal of the sluggings which char
acterized the beginning of the strike
are predicted.
Guards Are Increased.
To meet this situation guards have
been increased at the shaft houses,
and the signal corps, which possess
As horses, was converted into cayal-
ny and used for patrol duty. Troops
escorted to their homes such non
union workmen as feared to walk
the streets alone. Many of the loyal
employees, however, declined this sort
of assistance.
Arrests for alleged participation in
the riot near Atlantic Tuesday night
have been increased to 12 Three OF
the prisoners, who were accused of
being ringleaders in the attack on
non-union men, resisted the sheriffs
deputies and were taken only after
militiamen had gone to the assistance
Of the civil officers. In addition three

TO prevent workmen from returning

AN IMPoRTANr pEcIsIoN.

It has taken a long dnae to obtain H. but the decision which has just been rendered by the United States circuit court of appeals, awarding a quarter of 9 million to D. E. Loewe & Co. Of Daabzry in its suit against the United Eatters of North America is one of much importance. This case has been before the courts fer period of ten years and in the meantime not g few of the defendants have passed away.
 The case has dealt with the boycott which was declared against the plain tiff company because of labor troubles and which operated to the financial loss of the manufacturing concern. The case fs important because the dec1G1on establishes a basis for future guidance in such troubles The boy colt has long been used as a whip in labor disputes and the matters case furnished tEse opportunity for deter mining just what the rights of the en- ployeT were and what real protection he was and is afforded by the law The contest WAS over an important pz1ncsDae and 5y the decision 1t is es- tab1zsEed that the antitrust law covers combinations of employees as well as combinations Of employers and that they are subject to suit and damages, when they violate Its provisions.
 The company may have some difi- cu1ty fn collecting its award, bat a service of much value has been per- formed in getting a decision upon this dz@sd1on, a conclusion for which both sides worked vaaEantfy. It establishes a guide for future conduct which could have been determined in no other way.

cuRrAal llNe clv1l sERvicE.

The assertion that the postof5ice ap- propT1a4aon bdI is expected to carry the provision that the assistant post masters be removed from civil service gives notice of an attempt at 1egfsla- ton which deserves to be quickly and properly dealt with. There are two reasons why this deserves the opposi- ton of the national body and either should be sufficient to defeat it. It is in the first place a blow aimed at the efficiency of the department. and a return to the spoils system, and secondly 1t is being attempted through that 1andefalahded method of attaching a ~Fdded'S to an important appFopria- ton bill
 Far better service wo11d be aimed at through the extension of the civil service instead of an endeaxcr to cur- tail it. This Legislation is simply fol- lowing in the wake of that which re-
 moved deputy internal revenue col lctors and deputy U- s. narshals from civil service that larger number of appointments might be made available for the new administration. The plan to drop assistant postmasters from the provision which fnsures greater ehi- e6eney in that department of the gov erCrnent service deserves an early death It is as important that it should include that official as other employees of the pOst0ffiee and far better still would it be if the civil service was extended to include all the post1mas- ters. If it is the welfare of the depart Enent which is aimed at such is the method ia which it will be obtained instead of that which is planned.

NEW BASKET LAMPS.

Charming lamps for the boudoir or drawing room are made in the sem blance of baskets of flowers. The baskets are made of gilded metal, in various graceful shapes Some of them are tall, with high, arched handles. Some have no handles and are squat and low
 They are all lined with silk-rose- coIored silk is the favorite color. Across the top of the basket a piece of silk is fastened to this silk small silk flowers are attached. Sometimes there is a tiny electric bulb in the center of each flower sometimes big bulb is hidden under the flowers. and the light shines through the sides of the basket as well as through the flowers.
 Some of the baskets are little one sided, as if they were made of flexible reeds and had been crushed against a wall. And these are hung on the wall at the side of the bed or above a writ ing desk, or at the side of a dressing table

IMPROVING MEDICAL EDUCATION

According to figures which have been compiled by the United States bureau of education there are fourteen fewer medical schools in this country than there were 8 year ago and 120G fewer people studied medicine the past year than during 1912 while there was a decrease of 800 in the number of medical graduates.
 The reduction in the number of med icaI schools is part of & steady move ment for improved medical education that has been going on for the past eight or nine years The result of the agencies which have been at work in this direction has been that 79 med teal colleges have either merged with other institutions or ceased to exist and the standard of medical training has been raised considerably. Over half of the medical schools are now requiring one or more years of col lege work as prerequisite to entering upon the study of medicine.
 State examining boards of seven states have introduced regulations to be made effective in two years, pro viding that every applicant for a li- cense to practice medicine shall have studied two years in college, after a four years high school course before even beginning medical training. A similar requirement covering one year of college work will soon be enforced by the state boards of Connecticut, Kansas Utah, Vermont, Pennsylvania and California, all of which is in the interest of safer better and sounder medical training and service. It Is a commendable fact that the need of such change being recognized. 1t is rapidly being put into effect.

WEDDING couRTEslEs.

If you are invited to a wedding at distance and cannot accept the inEi- tation, you should write a letter in due time, expressing your regrets. 1t is not absolutely necessary to send a gift, but if you do, the present should be sent to the prospective bride, even though she should be a stranger. The attached card will indicate to the groom that the gift came from one of his personal friends Should the invi- tation be accepted, the guest should arrive on the wedding day or the night before and depart immediately after the ceremony. Guests may go to the hotel if there are many invited guests from out of town. They should pay their own hotel expenses. Even when distant friends attend a wedding they should send their gifts ahead of them to arrive before the wedding day.

PANAMA-PAclFlc EXPOSITION.


 It is regrettabIe that some of the leading European nations have deter mined not to participate in the Pan anna Pacific exposition in San Fran cisco in honor of the opening of the Panama canal but it should by no means operate to dampen the ardor of those who are behind the project The matter has already advanced to a point where it cannot be allowed to be a failure and while it is unfortu- nate that such decisions have been made it must be remembered that while it takes a certain amount of in terest from the exposition, it also
 means a distinct loss to those coun- tries which fail to obtain the adyer- Using which is afforded by such world gatherings and means a disappoint- ment most of all to their countrymen who always scan with much pride the exhibits from home. The fair must and will be a success
 Some effort is being made to at tribute the failure of one of the coun- tries to participate. to a fear that in sufficient protection will be granted to their patents and copyrights, be- cause of the plan to amend the Kahn law. It is the purpose of this country to guarantee all adequate protection in that regard and the existing law is evidence of that intent where the rec ognition of foreign patent regulations has gone dangerously near removing the rights and protection possessed by American manufacturers It is to overcome this injustice that any amendment of the Kahn law is pro- posed and it is but right that justice should exist in this regard to Ameri- can manufacturers as well as to for eign exhibitors.
