It is claimed that in population
where women conspicuously out
number men, fewer of them marry,
Nearly three times as many widows
as men do not marry the second,
time.
Why?
Because, "\ says Mrs. Rudolph
Blankenberg of Philadelphia, eff a
man has had a fairly comfortable
married life, and his wife dies, he is
almost helpless.
Where a couple have lived in the
normal, proper way, the man of the
house is a good deal worse ship
wrecked by the loss of the life part
ner than the woman, especially if the
widow has funds enough to maintain
her home"

MEDIA TON ANSWER
BY Gibson Gardner.
Washington, May 1.-THE elimina-
ton of Huerta is the answer to the
mediation situation That Huerta
must go is the first and last demand
Of President Wilson. Huerta's elimi-
nation can be brought about in two
ways. First, by continued victories of
the constituencies forces under Vii
la; second, by his abandonment by
Standard Oil and Pierson (they have
composed their differences in South
ern Mexico), Guggenheim and other
interests which have supported Huer-
ia as the only available protector Of
their properties in Southern Mexico.
The difficulty in finding a successor
to Huerta, who will satisfy their
financial interests, is the only thing
which prevents their abandoning him.
The field is being, canVassed and has
already been canvassed very thor
oughly, but without success.
The influence of American and En-
glish financial interests on the medi-
ators has already been seen in the eff
fort of the latter to extend the media
ton to the revolutionist disturbances
in the north of Mexico. OF course,
this is outside of their province. The
trouble which called the mediators
into the case was between the Amer
lean government and Huerta and it
is entirely gratuitous for the South
American gentlemen to try to put
down the revolution as an incident to ,
their good offices. Villa is right in an
nouncing that the military. activities
of the revolutionists will go forward
of any suggestions made
by mediators or HUerta.
To interrupt them would be very
advantageous to Huerta and to the
special interests which Huerta repre-
sents. The principal contribution of
the mediators at present is delay. This
will help the constitutiona1ists and

The cleavage between Wilson DEM

war to the knife is on, the President

ernors who attended the melting vot-
ed with O'Dwyer. 1t was the original
plan for the Administration men
simply to drop Murphy, Gaffney, Fo-
ley and a few others against whom
they had real objections. Tom Smith,
however, who led the fight against
the ousting of his chief, spoiled the
plan by insisting that all members
who were derelict in their dues, should
be dropped. The anti-Murphy men
were thereupon forced to put through
d blanket resolution dropping more
than 100 members. The club has q
membership of 750 and its home is
one of the costliest and handsomest
of the famous clubs along Fifth Ave-

such dropped members as we desire
to have in and can easily bar Murphy

"We anti-Murphy men have known
all along that the members have an
individual equity in the clubs proper
ty, which with it's wide frontage on
Fifth avenue and Fiftieth street, is
worth considerable money.

looked that feature of the fight, and
in their apparent efforts to embar-
rass the club by failing to pay their
dues, left themselves open to being
dropped"

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS HAGGLE
OVER RED TAPE; TOWN BURNS

Brussels, March 25.-The Belgian
customs officers on the French front
ier have been warned to use more
common sense and less red tape in
the future The rebuke was the re-
suit of a fire in the village of Les
Ballons. Fearing that the whole place
would be swept, the mayor telephon-
to the fire department for assistance
to the fire department of the French
town of Wattrelos, just across the
border. The Frenchmen responded
promptly with their motor engine,
but on reaching the frontier they were
stopped by customs officer. In vain
they protested that they were going
to a fire, but, after consulting with
his colleagues, the officer flatly re-
fused permission to them to cross
with the engine as they were not pro-
vided with the required "motor tour
lists" license.
While they were arguing the fire
which was only 100 yards from the
frontier, was spreading, but finally
the officers compromised by allowin. /,
them to string line of hose across
the border, the engine remaining on
French soil. After an hours hard
work they extinguished the flames,
received the thanks of the mayor and
returned to France.

TAMMANY'S COMPLETE
DOWNFALL PREDICTED
Omitted Press Day Service,

Omitted Press Day Service)
New York, March 25.-The COM
plete downfall of Tammany hall as a
political factor in Greater New York
is forecast as the result of the drop
ping of Charles F. Murphy and sever
al of his district leaders from the ros-
ter of the National Democratic Club,
the greatest Democratic organization
in the city. But it was not generally
known that the dropping of Murphy
meant an actual money loss to the
Chief. BY forfeiting their member
ship, Murphy and his henchmen lost
their equities in the property of the
National Democratic Club, which is
worth considerably more than a mil
lion dollars.
Non-payment of dues was the os-
tensible reason why Murphy, Thomas
F. Foley, James E. Gaffney and about
one hundred lesser Tammany lights
were ousted from the club, but the
real reason was that the followers
of President Wilson are now in con-
troll of the Democracy of New York.
The fight for Murphy's removal as q
member of the organization was en-
gineered by Edward F. O'Dwyer,
Chief Justice of the City Court, who
is an ardent Wilson adherent. O'Dwy-
er is president of the club. Some
time ago he was asked if he and his
friends would withdraw from the Ma
tional Democratic Club if they were
defeated in their efforts to put the
Wigwam men out. O'Dwyer replied
that he for one would not quit the
club. because it would mean financial
loss.
at would be very unwise to with
draw" O'Dwyer said. "The club
house, ard other property of the or
ganization are very valuable, worth
more than a million dollars, in fact.
Individual members have an equity
therein which it would be foolish to
sacrifice to enrich opponents
Through the strategy of O'Dwyer
and his readiness to force the fight
ing, the anti-Murphy men were in
duced to drop Murphy and several
of his most influential followers and
the Wilson men say they have obtain
ed complete control of the organiza-
ton.
81 took this action" O'Dwyer said,
because Murphy and other Tamany
leaders are detrimental to the inter
ests of the party, to good government
and to the club" "Will they get back
