ARE CLOSING BUSINESS
Another Crisis in the Neighboring
Republic Anticipated by United
States Authorities.

Washington, April 10. = Another
crisis in Hhe Mexican situation is
now seriously apprehended by the
Federal authorities closest in touch
with events in that country Advices
received during the last few days in
dictate that fears for the ability of
the Huer.a government to maintain
itself are we'll founded and the great
es: pessimism prevails in regard to
the situation. The revolutionary
movement led by the rebelious Gov
ernro Carranza, in Coahuiia, and adj
joining states is regarded in Wash
ingtor as the most threa' ening of
the nun Gus forces arrayed against
the provisional government.
The Madero family mas cast in its
lot with Carranza and will eXer, all
its influence in Mexico and elsewhere
in aid of the Carranza revolution
The northern part of Mexico is adj
mittedy in control of earranZa and
the State forces of Sonora. Huerta
does not control all the Southern ter
ri!ory, however.
Foreigners are said to he closing
cut business connections in Mexico
in even greater numbers than dur
ing the Madero and Orozco revolu-
tons. Mills, factories and mines, are
being closed down, and thousands are
out of work in all parts of the coun-
try
The collapse Of Huerta government
is com emplated here in the light of
the Creates possible calamity. 1t
would bring to the front again those
questions which had the United
States on the verge of war during
the closing days Of the last admins
tration. Ii is not believed that even
he Democratic administration would
find it possible to stand quietly by
and see anarchy reign in Mexico.

FARM LIFE DISCUSSED.
Need of Cooperation in Buying And
Selling Urged.

Richmond, Va, April 19.-The vari-
Gus committees and sections of the
conferences for education in the south,
n session here made farms and farm
life the chief topic of discussion yes
terday, the general meeting last night,
in which all of the groups took part,
being devoted to farm demonstration
work. The Importance of education
was emphasized, speakers at the
conferences conducted by the presi-
dent of state colleges for women, as
sorting that public schools are totally
inadequate in the matter of teaching
as to meet modern conditions. The
point was made that people are leav-
ing the farms for the cities because
of the absence of real country life and
the drudgery that is forced upon the
women.
The need of cooperation in buying
and selling was strongly urged, the
keynote Of the addresses being that
"The American farmer is so individu-
alistic that he is forever kicking over
thetraces instead of pulling together
The conference on taxation Took up
the desirability of having a permanent

woman will be benefited in person BY
tgetting a vote; she may make society
ibetter and by SO doing will be elevated
along with it. AS politics are now
conducted, suffrage will not elevate
woman.
"Some women think they are too
good to become American citizens and
voting will be degrading. There are
men too high or to rich to become
American citizens. The question Of
woman suffrage is to be determined
by the women themselves. They have
not accomplished very much yet.
"In States where franchise is grant.
ed women no great things have yet
been accomplished; we must not ex-
pect that the women will revolutionize
things at once. We have as high a
class of women in California as any
State. They obtained the franchise
in quiet and dignifed manner. The
men are broad minded enough TO ask
the women to come and help them
solve some of the problems"
An interesting address WIS made by
Mrs. Helen H. Gardner, who took
for her subject. "The Woman's Place
Home" The speaker declared she
had no patience with shrinking
sisterhood. Her sisters, she declared,
have political duties as well as others
and in conclusion, she said the ballot
will overcome many of the existing
troubles.
Exceptions to many of the remarks
of Senator Works were taken by Mrs.
Elizabeth Grannis, of New York, in
her opening remarks. The speaker
kept her auditors in a state of merri
ment at times by her witticisms. She
referred to the work being done by
women for the upbuilding of the
character of all classes Of women.
Speaking of the wage scale she said
some women were not even worth the
few dollars salary they were paid.
The meeting was opened with invo-
cation by Rev. DR.. John Lee Allison,
pastor of THE Second Presbyterian
Alexandria.
A vote of thanks to the various
people in Alexandria, including the
church officials, who gave their aid to
to the women, offered by Mrs. Pauline
Steinem, Of Toledo, also was adopted.

Allegation That They are
Evading Their Respon-
sibility to God.
WANT SOLID READING.
Cannot Breed intellectually Which
Saves Souls in Pig Pens," is the
Assertion.

Richmond, Va, April 19.-That the
mission of the church is to minister
to the life that now is, and that is
neglecting the salvation of the rural
communities from the primitive con-
ditions that exist in many of them
the country preacher is evading his
responsibility to God, was forcibly
brought out in the country church
conference yesterday afternoon, ard
some Of the speakers did not mince
words in saddeling the burden of duty
where they think it belongs.
In fact, the rather plain language
of several of the speakers created
somewhat of a mild sensation, espe-
cially the declaration of Health Com
missioner Williams, of Virginia, who
told the country preachers that they
couldn't breed intellectually in a
pig pen, and "you can't save souls
until the individual has sufficient n
tellectuality to understand that he
has soul to save"
That the country church can do a
great work for the rural community
by stimulating the reading of good
literature by the young ard the or
ganization of community hbrari,Asl
was also stressed by the speakers.
The conference was sorely dis
appointed in 1.-THE absence of Miss
Anna B. Taft, of New York, whose
proposed discussion of the relation
of the village church to the open
country was looked forward to with
much anticipatory interest.
The conference, after nearing the
several excellent addresses, re-elect-
ed DR.. C. E. Branson, Of Georgia, as
its chairman, and elected Rev. Geo.
H. Mayo, of Greene county, Va, to
create the post of secretary. 1t
also briefly summarized the results
of it's several meetings IN the shape
of series of resolutions expressing
The views of the conference as to the
duty the country churches owe the
rural communities.

STUDIES ALIEN LAWS.
Will Wait Until California Shall
Have Enacted Legislation Before
Passing Upon Same.

Washington, April 19.-President
Wilson will no admit that there ex-
lists any reason for a war scare in the
Japanese situation.
He emphasized this today when he
declined to meet a delegation Of Cali
fornians who have been here for the
last two weeks explaining" just
why California should enact the pres
ent existing anti-alien land owning
legislation.
The President does not desire to
emphasize the solution, but he also
does not minimize it. He is keeping
in touch with developments both in
Japan and on the Pacifis slope. The
State Department has been instruct
ed to watch the Anti-American
meetings throughout Japan. At the
same time the President by means of
confidential agents, is keeping in
touch with California.
The President has agreed to talk
ovar the entire matter with Congress-
man Baker, Of California. He de-
precates the attempt to indicate that
here is danger of a war with Japan
growing out of the disputed legisla-
ton. But he will absolutely refuse
to interfere with the California leg
Stature until it is proved to his en-
tire satisfaction that the laws now
under consideration ait Sacramento
are violations on the Constitution of
he United States. He believes in the
doctrine of States rights and in adj
dition. has taken the stand that the
so-called favored nation treaties are
in violation of the spirit of the Con-
stitution.
In order to be thoroughly familiar
with all of the facts, the President
has taken up the study of protests
by Japan filed in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, the unofficial protest
now before him presented by the Jap
anese ambassador. and the digea1
of the various state and Territorial
laws. At the same time he instruct
ed Secretary of State Bryan to have
the American charge d affairs at To-
kio keep the department Informed AT
all times of every development in
Japan, and especially whether the
Anti-American meetings now being
held actually represent the feeling of
the rank and file or whether they
are backed by interested parties.
He has asked the Californians who
have presented their views 90 him
to hurry through the bills now pend
ing at the capitol and then, as soon
as the text is available, he will de-
eide whether the State is still with
in its rights or whether he must re-
pudiate the pending legislation and
insist on amendments

SCHOOL GIRL BRIDE.
Nuptial Romance Began With Ba-
byhood.

Gainesville, Pa, April 19.-Mar-
ried Thursday night to Zaclarla lay
lor, Is or more years her senior, Miss
Margaret Haldeman, Is years old, a
member of the sixth grade in the
Gainesville public schools, took up
her studies as usual yesterday MORN
ing, still the blushing and pretty lit
tie girl who was favorite among
her playmates, and the teacher had
20 knowledge that one of her little
pupils was married woman.
Taylor, a pipeftter, boarded with
the Haldeman family for number
of years and took special interest
in Maggie from the time when she
was a mere fodder. His infatua-
ton for the child became so settled
that a few days ago he asked the
girls parents for her hand and
thew consented. The pair were mar
ried.
Her hair plated on each side of her
head and hanging over her shoulders,
girlish fashion, and wearing short
dress. the little woman tiptoed into
school yesterday morning along WITH
other scholars at her age. At recess
the child bride anxious 70 "tell just
one girl friend" what had happened
at the parsonage Thursday night,
broke the secret Of her marriage,
and soon of course, everybody knew
it.
This is the first instance in the his
tory of this town that a bride has
continued to attend school, and she
may go on until she graduates.
Under the compulsory educational
act the minimum age .or refusing tt
attend school is 16 years, and the
question is asked whether her mar.
riage will annul the law in her case.

PASSOVER NEXT MONDAY.
Usual Services Will be Held in syna-
gogue in This City.

The Feast of Passover commend
rating the deliverance of the Israel,
ties from Egypt after ;430 years of
servitude, will be observed for seven
days by all Hebrews throughout the
world commencing next Monday even
ing.
Preparations for the feast have
been practically completed by house
wives, who make thorough cleansing
of the household. Nothing is over
looked and every article of furniture
and dish is made to look as new as
possible. The poor and needy have
been looked after by special commit
tees of benevolent workers.
The accounts of the sufferings of
the Children of Israel and of their lib
Grafton occupies the frat Is chapters
of the Book of Exodus.
In compliance with the Biblical COM
mand EXODUS xii, 19), the observant
Jew, during Passover week, abstains
strictly from the use of all leavened
substances. Instead of the ordinary
yeast bread, a species of large cracker
called Ma;zoth unleavened bread is
eaten. Before Passover arrive the OBJ
servant Jew scrupulously removes
from his premises every crumb
of leaven that he is able to find.
Sooner would he undergo great
privations than touch morsrl
of leaven at this season. During
the Passover week the Jew of rigid Or
thodoxy will not even use the same
dishes and utensils in which, during
the rest of the ear, leavened food has
been placed.
While the entire week is festive in
It's nature, the large public gatherings
for Passover worship take place in
the synagogue only at the beginning
of the week and at the end. Orthodox
Jews have two days of "holy
convocation" at either extreme, while
Reform Jews observe only one day at
either extreme.
Perhaps the most significant and
beautiful aspect of ihe Passover cele-
bration is the service which is held
within the Jewish home on the first
evening of the feast; among Orthodox
Jews upon the first and second even
ings.
The members of the family and their
guess sit around the supper table
which is spread with festive elegance.
Upon the table are the "bitter herbs"
and the roasted shank bone, the egg,
the parsley, the bowl of salt water,
the unleavened bread and other SYM
bols. The service is read or rather
chanted from curious old book called
the "Haggadah," which tells, with
little wit, humor. pathos, and sublim-
ity about the deliverance from Egypt,
giving thanks for the great act of
divine mercy. in many psalm and
hymn.
For the benefit of large numbers of
Jews who no longer understand He
brew, attempts have been made to
translate the "Haggadah" in to Eng
lish. But it is doubtful whether the
best of translations can preserve the
quaint charm of the original.
