HUERTA IN OFFICE
LEGALLY, HE SAYS
Henry Lane Wilson Compares
Succession in Mexico to
That of Roosevelt.

SPOKANE, Wash. October 1S.-'The
government of Provisional President
Huerta of Mexico is just as legal as was
the government of Roosevelt when he
succeeded to the presidency after the as
sassination of President Mckinley" de-
clared Henry Lane Wilson, former United
States ambassador to Mexico. in an adj
dress on the Mexican situation ar ban
ouet rendered him here last night.
President Wilson could recognize
Huerta and still save his face. as he eas
been trying to do ever since" Mr.. Wilson
continued. IF President Wilson does not

be labeled the Gringo' president AS
soon as our soldiers had left the coun-
try the Mexicans would get out their
knives and we should have to go back
again. That would mean controlling the
country and all the countries TO the
Panama canal. Intervention would be
all right il we stayed there all the time,
but it would be bad for our morals and
pocketbooks.
Discussing the Madero regime Mr.. Will

been killed in Mexico and not one muir

have agitated the United States govern
ment more than the murder of the Amer

Regarding the part he took in bring
ing about the making of Huerta pro-
visionai president, Mr. Wilson said that
Huerta and Diaz factions were in the
capital ready to renew the bombardment
and that while l was not so instructed
I took immediate action to prevent it. No
act of mine rendered such valuable serv-
ice to Americans and foreigners in my
entire career and yet the administration
at Washington called my act an intru-
sion into the policies of the country.

WHY THE HELLO" GIRL
OUSTED BOY OPERATORS
Calling Subscribers "Idiots" Too
Much for the Pioneers of
Telephony.

CHICAGO, October 1S-C w. Nc
Daniel. who has been in the telephone
business ever since long distance talk
ing became practicable, told in an ad-
dress yesterday at the annual meeting
of the Telephone Pioneers Association
why girls were substituted for boys as
operators. Because they were lacking in
patience, the boys were supplanted by
girls. Mr.. Mcdaniel, who was in a Kan
sas City telephone office when long dis
lance talking first became possible, said:
There were four boy operators in the
office. One day when it seemed as if
every subscriber wanted to talk over
the lines at the same time / walked into
the switchboard room and listened.
''0ne of the boys was working fever
ishly. whein suddenly he blurted out:
Wait your turn, you crazy idiot"
Right then l reached the decision that
we would have to get girl operators IL
we wished to keep our business. We
hired the girls and the trouble ceased"

Some Have Big Territory.

I'VE call these men God Almighty's
aristocracy,' Mrs. Swadener continued
"One of their districts, sometimes, con
tains as much territory as Maryland,
Virginia and Delaware combined. One
minister 1 know of has to travel go
miles across snowy prairies with the
thermometer way below zero to get from
the northern to the southern boundary
of his district When they travel from
one place to another to preach or to
r-'r'-ter thew often do not have enough
money to buy sleeping accommodations.

stations all night because of that. Then,
too, houses of residents are at times
hundreds of miles apart, and even when
the ministers reach them the colonsts
in outlying districts have no money to
give them or to aid them.
I'VE are taking hold of this work of
aiding these poor young ministers with
every ounce of energy we possess, and
We hope in time, that our bureau will
become a powerful one and mean much
to Methodism."
Mrs. Swadener instanced as an ex-
ample of the conditions her bureau will

Need Aid in Cash.

THE idea of my bureau is to aid these
ministers. We must aid them i'm cash.
The supply bureau of our organization
sends them boxes and barrels of clothing
and other necessities from time to time
and the board of home missions and
church extension helps to some extent
Also ssome of the conferences of the
Methodist Church, such as the California
and Columbia River conferences. have di
rect sustenation funds. But in the latter
case the collections taken UP for those
funds are distributed in the states or con-
ferenceS where they are collected.
1--WE hope to have, as soon as my new
bureau gets running, method of aiding
these ministers in an organized way. My
idea is to have the strong conferences
help the weak ones, and every conference
should study its own conditions and ap-
point a secretary to take care of those
conditions. under the supervision of the
bureau.
1T is certainly Impossible for Methodist
or any other sort of ministers to live on
such sums as many of them receive. A
memorial from some Nebraska laymen
opened the question year or more ago,
and it was urged that as the cost of
of late years everything should be done to
have the salaries of these ministers
brought up to at least $1,000 year.
IAN annual salary of $3.50 is supposed
TO De tne average palu METHODIST min
lister, but even that amount does not equal
the pay of miners and mechanics. And 1t
is further pathetic fact that the minis
ters do not actually get what they are
promised. The secretary of our board of
home missions reported that the board is
helping to sustain 1000 home missionaries,
and 1t was declared that these are men
who are big enough, good enough, strong
enough and true enough to stand before
the bishop and say Send me anywhere"

MRS. MADISON SWADENER,
Chairman bureau for sustentatlOn fund,
WOman's Home Missionary Society.
Mrs. Swadener was Miss Perry Of
Washington.

Mrs. Madison Swadener wife of a
Methodist minister of indianapolis, Ind,
and formerly of Washington, is authority
for the statement that according to sta
tistics she is now gathering more than
States preach and work the year around
for less than $500 per annum.
Mrs, Swadener, who is chairman of the
bureau for sustenation fund of the Wom-
ans Home Missionary Society Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, is in Wash
ington attending the sessions of the an
nual convention of that organization at
Foundry NJ. e. Church. She talked today
with a reporter for The Star of the work
of her bureau, which is the youngest
among the various bureaus of the organi-
cation, and which was brought into exist
ence year ago at the annual meeting of
the society at Des Moines. for the pur-
pose of experimenting the salaries of
Methodist ministers in the United States
who receive $500 per annum or less.
Think of it, Mrs Swadener said.
These young men. these ministers, with
college educations and therefore a good
earning capacity and many of them with
hopeful young wives who are an expense
to them, go out into the wilderness or to
the western frontier, without picking or
choosing their berths, at the call of the
bishop, and although they are promise
$500 year salary they often. do not ge,
more than $500 or $500 In this land of
plenty, and in these days of high cost of
living, the struggle to live and to preach
the gospel has grown again almost as
difficult as it was in the days when our
forefathers were trying TO do II.
