Senator Burton Says it is More I'm
portant Than the Tariff
or Currency.
GAIN TO WHOLE COUNTRY
Question to Be Attended to in Con-
sistent Manner to Get
Real Results.

Washington, April %. Flood
contro'. in the opinion of Senator
Burton, is more vital problem to
the American people just now than
either the tariff or the currency,
and he would like to see Congress
take up and pass on methods to
meet such situations as have been
causing so much suffering and de-
struction IN Ohio before it does any
thing else.
Senator Burton shas 10ng been CON
sfdered the ieadins authority on
river and harbor Improvement in
this country. He has gone back to
Ohio, where he spent most of his
time during the worst part of the
recent floods, to make thorough
study of conditions.
Senator Newlands is also making
strong plea for the adoption of
means to prevent floods. He. and
Senator Burton do not agree as to
the means to be taken, but If they
and the other wise men who are
studying the problem get their heads
together it is likely that they may
reach some common ground on
which they can al stand and that
the result will be gain to the whole
country.

Mexico City, April %. When
tourists again visit Mexico City they
may be disappointed not to find on
all sides evidence Of the damage
done BY shot and shell during the
ten days iighting In February. Al
ready masons. bricklayers and car.
penters are. obiiterating the scars Of
that conflict. and it win not be
many weeks before t1e appearpnee
Of the capitals buildings. both pub
lie and private, is wholly normal.
Rarely have contractors here
gained such quick results, and
never, perhaps, has 1t been demon
strated so well how little plaster
and kalsomine will make bom-
barded wall appear ''as good as
new" The capital today is city
of patches. Much of the damage
~done BY shells was not apparent
from the exterior, since In hundreds
of instances the shells tore their
way through the walls before ex-
ploding, leaving In sight outside
only holes often not. more than six
inches in diameter. The explosion
on the inside of the house resulted
in greater destruction.
Due largely to the fact that most
Of the buildings are of some form of
stone or cement, there were few
fires. Perhaps nine houses out of
ten have for their outer finish a coat
/ of thick plaster easy for the bullets
from rifles and machine guns to
scar, butwa few buckets Of plaster
filled the holes and a dab of tinted
kalsoniine completed the restora-
ton The same method was used in
filling the holes left by shells and
but little more work and material
|, was necessary In repairing a large
number of the bigger gaps made by
repeated pounding of cannon.
In few cases, however. 1t will be
many weeks and possibly months
before the normal aspect of street is
restored. There were few build
ings where the damage was so great
that mere patching will not suffice.
Although monuments of one kind
and another and statues erected in
honor of this and that hero are
/ scattered throughout the city, few
of these were damaged. The most
complete piece of destruction of this
character was that of clock tower
/ erected in Bucareli street. This
was shot to pieces. The government
made no effort to repair it but, re-
moving the debris. built on the site
a flower garden. Since sod instead
lof seed was used there already is a
big circle of green, and in this were
planted flowers already in bloom
It presents an appearance of having
tueen there for some years.

AMERICAN GIRL
|. ARDENT IN RANKS
I. Of SUFFRAcETT[S
She Goes to Jail for the Cause and
Wins the Admiration
Of Many.
GOOD NArusED AND WITTY
Gained Favor With Prison Officials
and Received Better Treat
mcnt Than Sisters.
GOOD NArURED AND WITTY

London, April EFF all the
English suifragettes had the charm
of Miss Zelle Emerson, the Amer
lean girl, who went to Jail for the
cause equal suffrage would soon
triumph in England. in the opinion
of the prison authorities at the Hol-
loway jail where Miss Emerson was
confined. Even the doctors who
were required to feed her forcibly
express the highest admiration for
her pluck and cheerfulness.
Miss Emerson's good nature and
wit made her a favorite among the
prison officials, and it is doubtless
true that she received better treat
ment than many of the American
consulate who visited Miss Emerson
at Holloway said that she was one
of the most charming girls he had
ever met and expressed the hope
that the State Department would re-
quire him to repeat the visit.
# Mrs. r. H. Emerson, Miss Zelie's
mother, is deeply distressed by a
statement made by Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurt some time ago at a public
meeting. Previously. in the House
of Commons, reference had been
made by a speaker to militant suf-
fragette in the Holloway Jail who
had sought to. give herself pneu-
monia by lying uncovered on her
cot after sponging her body with
warm water. Mrs. Pankhurt said
that this suffragette was Miss Emer-
son. Mrs Emerson and her friends
consider that Mrs. Pankhurst dis
played bad taste In making the incl
dent public and the relations be-
tween them are said to have become
rather strained.
One of the odd features OF the sit
uation is the change In feeling ex-
perieneed by American mothers who
go to the American embassy to ask
aid in having their suffragette
daughters released from Jail. The
mother usually arrives in London,
alone and unheralded, In a state of
humiliation or modification over
her daughters plight. Such a one
stepped into the embassy recently,
having arrived in London but an
hour before. she implored the staff
to use their best efforts to conceal
news of her daughters imprison-
, ment Were it made public, she
said, weeping with shame, she could
never again face her neighbors at
home.
The militant suffragettes took the
mother In charge. They persuaded
her that her daughters imprison-
ment was signal honor. Two
days later. with head held high
and eyes blazing, the mother strod
into the embassy and demanded to
know why the American people had
not been told that her heroic daugh-
tier was suffering martyrdom in All
English Jail. On her second visit a
band of militant suffragettes accom-.
panied her.
