The baseball diamond is laid out
inside the walls and one hour each
day is devoted to the sport. Convicts
who are not baseball fans are per-
mitted to spend the time wrestling or
boxing. There is nothing to curb the
roofing of the fans but the high walls
and rigid rule against profanity,
and when two teams meet the COM
ments of the convict fans can be
heard for several blocks.
Warden Allen umpires most Of the
games himself He is probably the
least disputed umpire in the world.
When he is too busy to do the umpir-
ing Warden Allen assigns a deputy

diamond is being constructed outside
the walls for the TRUSTEES"
Warden Allen also has adopted the
policy of spending so much time ev-
cry day going about the prison shops
and factories where he mingles with
the men. The convicts have come to
look upon him as a friend and adviser
and if they feel they have a crouch

NOTE
ON MEXICAN POLICY
WESTERN hemisphere DEVOTED
TO THE SACRED PURPOSE or

President Wilson Declares He Would
Like to Believe That Nowhere Can
Any Government Endure Which is
Stained With Blood.


Swarthmore, Pa. President viii
son, In a speech here Sunday, pro-
claimed the doctrine that the whole
western hemisphere should be dovot
ed to one sacred purpose that no
where can any government endure
which Is stained with blood or sup
ported by anything but the consent Of
the government"
It was while extolling the spirit
with which William Penn sought to
establish a free commonwealth in
America that the president inciden-
tally revealed his thoughts on pres
ent-day problems. His utterances, it
Is known, reflect the ideas which the
Washington administration is prepar.
ing to announce to the nations of the
world in a formal note ON the policy
Of the United States toward Mexico.
The president spoke In a big tent not
far from the spot where Penn landed,
the exercises being commemorative,
also, OF Founders day at Swarthmore

LIGHT VOTE IN MEXICO
MAY INvALIDATE RESULTS
Supporters Of Gamboa Claim Big Lead
For Him, While Felix Diaz
Is In Second Place.

Mexico City.--At the close of the
elections on the Goth, the indications
were that not sufficient votes had
been cast to constitute legal choice
for the presidency to succeed Gen.
Victoriano Huerta.
No official announcement was
made, but 1t was estimated, Judging
from the results in the capital where
it was expected the vote would be
up to the average, that less than 49,
900 OF the $4,000 eligible voters in
the republic went to the polls 1t would
be no surprise if congress, the mem
bers Of which were voted for, declared
the election void when that body is
organized and revises the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
of votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Gamboa and General Ras-
con- II this claim is correct, it is gen.
orally thought that General Felix Diaz
and Senior Requena ran second. The
liberal candidates, Manuel Claero and
Flores Magon, had no printed ticket
at the polling places, their constitu-
ents being obliged to write their
names in blank spaces. President
Huerta spent the day at his Popotla
suburban home.

On the Japanese island of Oshima
in the Sea of japan the young people
enjoy more freedom in the matter of
counting than in Central Japan. They
are left to themselves to select their
own mates, much after the fashion of
the West. When a young sutton pro-
poses to the girl of his choice, the
girl declines two or three times as
matter of form, and in order that she
may enjoy the period of courtship.
