that he had a sister who was private

PLAY DEMONSTRATION
ON VILLAGE COMMON
Leaders of Note Coming Monday
Under Auspices of Civic Improve
ment League-Hours 4 to 6.

The Playground and Recreation AS
sociati0n of America will give play
demonstration on the common Monday
afternoon from to 6 'cick under the
auspices of the Brattleboro Civic I'm
provement league. The public is in
vited. 1t is their idea that one of the
best ways to interest people in the
play movement is TO show them what
can actually be done in free sponta-
neous plsy when groups Of people come
togc her Incy believe that this meth
od viii awaken people to the need for
directed play more quickly than ex-
hihits of charts, photographs, etc,
because play in itself is so free and
impossible to hold in close definition
of form
There are several reasons for under
taking this work. 1t brings about a
more thorough understanding of the
phases of the recreation work: it en-
courages the establishment Of play
grounds; It makes apparent the need of
a supervisor; and it sets better stan
dards for recreation.
The play leader of the association,
who will direct the play, is Miss Emma
Gherling Miss Gherling is graduate
of Columbia university and has spec
ialized along the lines of dramatic and
physical activities both in the east and
west. She has been active in the estab
| lishment Of kindergartens and play
| grounds in several of the western
states; has devoted some time to pro
! fessional storytelling; and was super
visor of Fairgrounds at White Plains

PARCEL POST LIMIT
MAY BE 100 POUNDS
Postmaster General Has Big Plan for
Farm and Factory Pages-Express
Companies Object.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The ex-
tension of the parcel post system to
carry packages up to a limit of 100
pounds is planned by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson. This was disclosed by
the Postmaster General yesterday when
he and Edward r. Clark, chairman of
the interstate commerce commission,
appeared before the Senate committee
acknowledged that it was the policy
of the postmaster general, acting with
the approval of the commission ulti-
mately to bring about such an exten-
sion of the service The immediate
cause for the appearance of the post
master general and Mr.. Clark before
the committee was Mr.. Burleson s an
nouncement that he intended to in
crease at once the maximum weight of
parcels to be carried from II to 30
pounds and to make certain reductions
in rates for the first and second zones.
Senator Bryan of Florida had raised
4 question as to the authority of the
postmaster general to change the regu-
lations in the way he proposes. The
postmaster general and the interstat
commerce commission official maintain
ed that such authority viii be lodged
with the postmaster general under the
present law.
| The express companies are opposed
to the extension of the parcel post sys
TEN and it is believed intimated that
the railroads also were ready to protest
against such a move.
Chairman Clark of the commission
expressed the opinion that the rail
roads received a more liberal compensa
/ tiOn from the government than they
derive from transporting the expires:
companies in the same service in spite
| Of the fact that the railroads have
very liberal contracts by which they
receive about one-half of the gros.
revenues of the express companies.

APE NEARLY KILLS KEEPER.
Almost Strangles Man Who offered
It Food-Escaped from Gage.

LIMA, Ohio, July 26.-Fred L. Loes-
cher, superintendent of the city park,
was rescued from the clutch of a wild
ape which had broken his cage at the
park menagerie yesterday afternoon,
after the monkey had nearly choked
him to death.
A few minutes later pedestrians were
terrorized when the gigantic monkey
ran through the streets. Hundreds fled,
and a riot alarm was sent to police
headquarters. Members of the police
department eventually captured the an
imal and returned him to the park.
When Loeseher held up piece of
meat before the cage early this after
noon the ape leaped from the door of
his cage and attacked him. Two park
attendants rescued the keeper after a
fierce struggle.

Supports the Huerta
Government
COUNTRY WILL BE
PLUNGED INTO CHAOS
If Present Controlling Faction in
Mexico Does Not Remain in Power
Thousands of Americans Were i'll
Danger-Calls Mrs. Madero Forger-

NEW YORK, July 26.-Henry Lane
Wilson, United States ambassador to
Mexico, arrived yesterday on the liner
Mexico on President Wilson 5 impera-
tive call bringing him home to tell the
situation in the war swept republic.
Full of ginger and fight, Ambassa-
dor Wilson stood by the Huerta gov

ernment were sustained thousands of
Americans would be in danger.

Mr.. Wilson was shown a telegram,
published in a Sunday paper on Feb.
21, 1913. 1t was from him to Consul
General Hanna at Monterey, and cop
les of it were sent to other consulates
throughout Mexico
The telegram urged consuls every
where to support the Huerta regime
81 sent that. said Mr. Wilson.
And l did right to send it, l did so
in the interest of law and order. [

order and not the reign of banditti It
has been the custom for over 100 years
in diplomatic circles to recognize a de
/ facto government, and | cannot see
/ why there should have been any varia-
tion in this case.
81 have always striven to keep
down factions opposed 20 Huerta. Ny
motive in aiding the federal govern
ment of Mexico has been to protect
the lives of Americans.
IF | had not interviewed when | did
and brought Huerta and Diaz together
the entire city of Mexico would have
been in flames. If the present govern
ment does not last, the entire country
will be plunged into chaos
People up here do not understand
the situation in Mexico What you
call constitutionalists have no idea OF
law and order. There are million
bandits in Mexico. Brigandage is com
merciahzed. 1t is cheaper to take
things other people have worked fol
than to work for them yourself. -
Mr.. Wilson S attention was called tt
the fact that Mrs. Madero widow OF
the murdered President Francisco
Madero, had called him morally re
Isponsible for the death of her hus
band and the overthrow of his govern
ment.
Poppycock, cried the ambassador
Mrs. Madero is a forgeress.
Then he hesitated and added: g dC
not want to say that about any WON
an, and especially one who has suffere,
as much as Mrs Madero But | cal
prove what | have just said when
get to Washington. She caused
letters to be published which We're th'
cause of a great deal of trouble il
Mexico. She accused me of working
with Huerta and Diaz to overthrow
Madero.
Before the Huerta governmen
went into power lives of thousands o
Americans were in danger and, unles
that government is sustained, they vii
be in danger again.
