the conquest of souls. Interesting
street meetings are conducted in an
ernc1eht way each evening, followed
by evangelistic services in the mis-
sion, with. in man. instances, a.
harvest of souls, redeemed from sin
trough the blood of the everlasting
covenant. How grand to see the RIM
ruined and sin-debauched souls pray
through to victory. and in some
instances even the down and outs arc

Bishops Speech Stirs
Episcopal Convention

NEW YORK, Oct. ia demand
from Bishop Franklin Spencer Spalding,
of Utah. that the church join in the
movement for Industrial democracy
aroused the greatest discussion today in
the Protestant Episcopal convention
here.
Il hate this system which gives to the
greedy and takes from the meek. 1t
is un- Christian and un-Godlike," Bishop
Spalding told an audience at the Cathe-
dral of st. John the Divine. The sys-
tenn must be ended. The church must
awake, and the church must ally her
self with the movement for industrial
democracy"
Bishop spaIding's audience was a
fashionable one. There were many
financiers and their wives and daugh-
tiers present. Some Of them left before
he had finished his address, but the
bishop continued, even declaring the
present Episcopal convention a "capi-
talistic convention"

MEXICO REPORTS
RELIEVE OFFICIALS
Administration, However, Will
"Sit Tight" and Watch For
New Developments.

Although come measure of relief Ii
felt in Administration circles today over
latest reports from Mexico to the ef-
feet that Huerta is adopting a much
less belliserent attitu1e. officials here
are stin sitting tight" and awaiting
the next move in Mexico City. That
the situation is still far from bright is
indicated by the action Of the foreign
diplomats in the Mexican capital in
advising their respective governments
to send warships to Vera Cruz to pro-
tect foreign interests in case of fur
ther trouble
Today happens to be the anniversary
Of the uprising OF Felix Diaz at Vera
Cruz against the lll-fated Maderos and
anxiety is felt here that the constItu-
tionalists and Maderistas in the capital
may make it the occasion for an ur-
rising within the city. For the last
few days constitudonalist sympathizers
in Washington have boldly assorted
that IL harm came to the deputies iIl-
prisoned by Huerta, or II thy were not
released shortly, Mexico City would be-
come the scene of an uprising as ter
rible as any the capital has ever staged.
Arms are said to have been distributed
surreptitiously among the constitution
alists in the city, ~ho are said to be
only awaiting the slgnal or their leaders
tG rise.
The reports Of this contemplated up
rising, staged, IL is said, before TIE
deputies were arrested. are given by
Huerta as excuse for his hIgh-handed
action. and he has openly charged the
imprisoned deputies with having en-
gineered the plot.
Much interest is shown in official
quarters here ever the reports from
Mexico that efforts are being made to
force the withdrawal of Federico
Gamboa, the former minister of war.
from the Presidential race. Even were
Huerta to recede from his position of
dictator and restore the arrested depu-
ties to their position in response TO
the protest of the United States, the
election of Gamboa would not be a
palatable dose for the Administration
here to swallow It was the insolence
of Gamboa, as expressed in his written
replies to the original proposals OF
John Lind, that strained the relations
between the two countries to a near
breaking point more than a month
ago.
1t was Gamboa who suggested to
President Wilson that the latter was
attempting to handle the Mexican sit
uation without knowing tie laws Of
the country.

SCHOOLS PLANNED
FOR CONSERVATIVES
Commissioners Aim to Establish
Institutions For TubercuIar
Children.

To provide for the education Of tuber-
cular children. who by a recent order
of the Commissioners were deprived OF
the benefits OF the public educational
system. the Commissioners. 1t was
learned today. will ask for an urgency
appropriation for open-air schools.
Plans for the establishment of these
schools, one for white and one for COL
ored pupils, are being considered by a
committee consisting of Snowden Ash
ford, Municipal architect, DR.. W. c.
Woodward. Health OFFICER and Dr. Will
liam NJ. Davidson, superintendent Of
public schools.
1t Is probable that two school build
ings now in use will be converted into
open-air schools. FOR the exclusive use
of all children afflicted with any COM
municable form of tuberculosis, the cost
of which Is estimated would not be more
than $1,000
At present there are two open air
classes in the public schools, but the &C
commOdations are considered inadequate
to care for the children affected by the
Commissioners order.

Seeks Information on
Race Segregation

Congressman Rogers, a Massachusetts
Republican, today introduced resolutions
in the House requesting the Secretary
of the Treasury land the Postmaster
General to report whether the races
have been segregated in their respec-
tive departments
The Rogers resolutions also demand
information regarding the alleged de-
motions or dismissals Of colored en-
ployes in these departments since March
4, 1913.
The Massachusetts member says he
has been unable to obtain satisfactory
answer to informal requests for infor-
nation regarding the segregation OF the
races. He now seeks official ad-
vices concerning alleged discriminatiope
against colored employees in these two
departments. and probably will follow
with resolutions directed at other de-
