made by Senator Pittman of Nevada.
today. He declared that his view OF
the need for immediate Intervention had
come TO be shared by most Of the West

The situation down there is no less
than damnable," he said, land II is time
that we pacify northern Mexico before
some of the foreign powers give US the
alternative of doing 1t at their demand.

act has injured our prestige with Latin
American countries. so that while
Americans are being killed. held for
ransom, or thrown into filthy prisons
to die. Germans and English are not
molested.
IT believe General Huerta would be
glad to take the hint and ask US to
send troops into that country. Whether
he is willing or not We owe it to the
Americans now being outraged there.
The cost of such intervention, which
some of the Southern Democrats Sen
ators had considered a serious reason
for cur staying out. should not be
considered. We do rot weigh the cost
of a surgical operation when consider

WILSON AND SENATE
DIFFER ON MEXICO
Friction Between President and
Foreign Relations Board
Caused BY Ambassador.

Serious friction impending between
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
and President Wilson and his Secretary
of State may Complicate the entire Mex
lean situation. The Senate committee,
it is known today, wasNmpressed yes
terday by AmbassadorN Henry Lane
Wilson's appeal for recognition OF
Huerta.
The ambassador told the committee
frankly that he did not think this cuun-
try had any right to concern itself with
any question of morals in this matter.
He declared that Huerta had the only
actual government that could be Sc
riOusly considered. and, by inference,
severely criticised his immediate chiefs
because they have refused to follow
his suggestions.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
have taken the position that under no
circumstances will they recognize
Huerta. They consider that his con-
nection with the death of President Ma
dero makes this impossible.
Bad Precedent.
The position of the Administration is
that to do so would establish a prec-
edent so that when any prominent man
in any Of the, Central or South Ameri-
can countries became dissatisfied with
the elected ruler he could kill him, set
up a de facto government of his own,
and demand American recognition.
The President and Secretary of State
want to let matters remain as they are
until the Mexican influences now at
work can see whether they can recon-
cile the warning elements. The Senate
committee is understood to demand inn
mediate action OF some kind.

committee are understood to have in
sisted that the United States should
recognize Huerta at once. rigidly en-
force the neutrality laws, and see
whether Huerta could keep his word
and restore order. And they intend to
demand that the President accept this
program.
1t is understood that the President
will insist on his own policies being
followed out and this insistence may re-
suit In the first real fight between the
Administration and the majority in the
Senate. Apparently the majority Of the
Senators, without regard to party, are
in favor Of vigorous action by this Gov
ernment.

Many OF them favor armed interven-
ton and they take the position that
Ambassador Wilson is right in his
declaration that there are only two pos

CHICAGO GIVEN GREAT SHOCK
Insanity Found to Be AIarmingIy on
the Increase in the Esrst City
of Illinois.

Chicago has just completed a cen
sus and alarm is felt over the figures,
which show an increase of 20 per
cent in insanity, with the increase in
population only II per cent. in four
years. Dr. H. /. Davis, county physi-
clan of Cook county, Illinois, declares
that the number of insane people in
creases steadily each year.
1t is fact, however, that the Undue
increase in insanity is in many in
stances confined to certain sections OF
the country in cycles or waves. There
will be period in which marked in
crease in mental arrangement will be
noted. Then statistics will suddenly
shift and the lunacy ratio will go down
in sections where it was high and go
up in sections where it was compare
lively low. Just what is the reason for
this has not been determined, al
thdMgh alienists and others have Of
fered all sorts Of explanations.
One of these Is that when a great
calamity befalls community children
born of parents who have suffered
much through the calamity are likely
to be born mentally deficient. The
parents themselves may not suffer in
that way because, being fully grown
and matured mentally, they survive
the shock.

OLD SLAVE MARKET

In the middle of the principal thor
oughfare of the town of Louisville,
Ga, stands one of the most historic
little structures in America, the old
slave market Louisville was the first
permanent capital of Georgia, and the
old slave market was erected soon
after the first government buildings
were built in 1856
The planters in the neighborhood
were large slave owners, some OF
them old soldiers, who were given
extensive tracts of land for service in
the war with England, and the cree
ton of such building can be readily
understood was almost a necessity in
this remote period of our history.
The best quality of post oak was
used in this structure. and now, after
standing long past the century mark,
it is in perfect preservation. Indeed,
it is difficult to even drive a nail into
the tough fibers of the old wood.
While the old slave market serves
no practical purpose, it is an inter-
esting memorial, for it is one of the
few if not the only one of it's kind,
which remains to remind us OF those
faraway days, when the old regime
of slavery held sway in the old south.
