The resolutions presented to the
PRESIDENT by delegation representing

were approved by Cardinal Gibbons.
Ihey declare that the federation

Chatterer Does a Little Spying

Chatterer the Red Squirrel watched
Jenny Wren out of sight and all the
time he appeared to be in a brown
study over something. The truth is
he was thinking of something Jenny
Wren had said and wondering how he
could turn it to his own advantage.
You know, Jenny had been gossiping.
Yes, sir, that is what she had been do
ing. She had been gossiping about
Bully the English Sparrow and Mrs.
Bully. and she had mentioned the
fact that they had six eggs in the
nest they had built in the house they
had stolen from Skinner the Swallow.
The very mention of eggs always set
Chatterer's mouth to watering. And
Jenny had said that there were six Of
them! He shut his eyes and tried to
picture six eggs in his mind. The more
he did this the more his mouth wat
cred.
Il must have a look at this Bully and
his wife," thought Chatterer. Il knew
that a couple of strangers had come to
live in the Old Orchard, but l hadn't
given them any attention. II they are
not too big, it may be, it just may be,
eggs just as Jenny Wren wished"
There was wicked twinkle in Chat
terer's eyes as he thought this.
Later in the morning Chatterer visit
ed the Old Orchard quite as II he had
nothing in particular on his mind. He
jumped from one old apple tree to an
other, and every time he came near q
nest he came in for round Of scold-
ing. But he didn't mind this. He was
used to it. He scolded back, and to
have heard the noise you would have
thought that a dreadful quarrel was
in progress when really it didn't mean
anything at all.
But Bully the English Sparrow and
his wife, who had moved out from the
city, didn't know this, and they
promptly hustled out to see what was
going on. Bully noticed right away
that Chatterer didn't offer to go very
near any of the nests. SO right away
he made up his mind that Chatterer
was a coward.
IF he comes over here I'll show him
what is whatw boasted Bully. and
strutted up and down for Mrs. Bully
to admire his bravery.
Now. Chatterer was far too sly to get
into needless trouble. When he saw
the size Of Bully he grinned in con-
tempt He wasn't afraid Of a little fe1-
low like that. Not much! 1t was going
to be easier to get those six eggs than
he had thought. Still, it was foolish to
make more trouble than was neces-

ner That Caused Genuine Surprise
to Visiting Ball Players.

For the first time in its history Almas
Temple Of the Mystic Shrine at its
ceremonial session at National Rifles
armory last evening did honor to a
CIVIC body. The excise board of the
District OF Columbia received the sig
nal tribute during the traditional ban
quet, when a toast to that body was
drunk Gas is customary in the Shrine)
with strictly temperance beverage.
1t Is said to have been somewhat of a
snock to Catcher Bill" Lapp and
PITCHER Jack" Coombs of the Athletic
base ball club, who were special guests
OF the evening, but under the inspiring
address of Past Potentate Harrison
Dfngman. who had just returned from
celebrating his seventy-second birth
day at Atlantic City. the innovation
was taken in good part and cheers
were given the toast, the speaker and
the speech.
Potentate James T. Gibbs announced
that at the ceremonial session to be
held November i Imperial Potentate
DR.. Frederick Smith of Rochester, N.
Y, would be the guest of honor, and
that the festivities would be held at
the New Willard Hotel. The potentate
also made reference to the accident
which prevented Oriental Guide John
A. Ellinger from being in his accus-
toned station, but stated it was ex-
pected his fractured limb would be in
such condition as to permit his at
tendance at the next ceremonial.
Nearly a score of candidates were
led by devious rites and routes to the
Shriner's city of Mecca" and the cere-
monies, it is said, were rendered ad-
.dttionally impressive by the assistance
of Past POtentatess Poe FYI1kerRon al

''dervish in command of the camels"; ;
Jacobus s. Jones. as "the silent one;
Francis A. Sebring, as Keeper Of the
SCROLL" and Past Illustrious Potentate
Harrison Dingman, as ''the ancient
sage"
The traditional banquet, an invariable
accompaniment of Shrine session, was
held last evening in the upper hall,
after the rites of Initiation, and several
hundred local mobiles were augmented
by a number of visitors from other
Shrine cities.

John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Presi-
dent Lincoln, was an incident in the
life of Patrick Phillips. seventy-five

street northwest, at 2 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Phillips was passing
through the Capitol grounds the night
OF the assassination. when mounted
soldiers stopped him and told him OF
their suspicious.
Had the incident happened at any
time other than during such an excit-
ing period Mr.. Phillips probably would
have regarded the affair lightly. bu,
under the circumstances he made nc
effort to pass the incident off as a joke.
He quickly convinced the soldiers OF
his identity, however. and was permit
ted to. resume his journey homeward
one of the soldiers remarking, Hes
not the man.
Mr.. Phillips. who was a native OF
Loudoun. Ireland. came to this country

was one Of the pioneer brickmakers of
this city. About forty-f1ve years ago
he engaged in the grocery business in
the vicinity of the Capitol, and fifteen
years ago he retired from active busi-
ness.

Obstructionists May
Delay Needed Legislation


senate are planning a hlibuster
against President Wilson's emer-
gency war revenue bill. The gen
tlemen of the minority will make
political capital and they will un-
dertake to keep congress in session
until after the elections. Then, if
the Democrats win, the opposition
will collapse, but if the Republi-
cans triumph the work of harass-
ing Wilson will continue indefi-
nitely.
OF course the standpatters can
make their bluff good if they see
fit. Under the rules of the senate
few senators may block public
business for an indefinite period.
But what do the people think of
statesmen-God save the mark !
who are willing to indulge in such
a petty piece of business at time
when the nation is facing a most
trying crisis?
| think President Wilson an
swered that question when he ad-
dressed congress on September 1
and urged the passage of the emer-
gency war bill.
The people of this country are
both intelligent and profoundly
patriotic" said he. "They are ready
to meet the present conditions in
the right way and to support the
government with generous self
denial. They know and under
stand, and will be intolerant only of
those who dodge responsibility or
are not frank with them.
"The occasion is not of our own
making. We had no part in max
ing it, But it is here.
1--WE shall pay the bill, though
we did not deliberately incur it,"
The standpatter senators are evil
IDENTIFY proceeding on the theory
that the people are not intelligent
and that they may be easily bam-
boozled AS usual, it will be found
that the president is right. He
has a keener insight into the men
tai processes of the American peo-
pie than any other man in public
life.
SITUATION IN THE SOUTH.
The object of the emergency rev.
enue bill is not merely to provide
funds to meet governmental ex-
penditures. AS the president ex-
planned in his message, the treasury
was never in better condition. The
surplus runs well over the one
hundred million mark, but practi-
cally all that sum is in the banks
and through them has been loaned
to the farmers to harvest and move
their crops. To call it in would
produce financial stringency
which in times like these might
prove disastrous,
The situation is still further
complicated by condi ions in the
southern states. The largest cotton
and tobacco crops in the nations
history are ready for the market,
BUT THERE ARE NO BUYERS! Eu-
rope absorbs half our cotton crop
and Europe is fighting just now
instead of spinning. Our mills are
running to capacity, but they cant
handle the crop.
Cotton has dropped from twelve
TO six cents. This means loss of
S35O,OOO,OOO to the farmers of the
south But it won't stop there.
There is no assurance that there
will be a market for next years 8

alton is comparable to that which
confronted the citizens of Colorado
and other western states in 1898,
when the Sherman silver-purchas-
ing act was repealed and our mines
closed down.
Now, you cannot paralyze the
chief industry of one-third of the
nation without seriously affecting
the other two-thirds. In self de-
fense, if from no loftier motive, the
north and the west must stand by
the south.
The distressed cotton grower
must be given chance to renew
his notes and possibly borrow a
little more. The southern banker
and business man must be made to
feel that they may extend this
credit with safety.
It's a delicate situation. The
president is handling it in superb
fashion, He is not beating tom
toms or giving out sensational in
terviews. That is not his way.
But he is quietly proceeding to
pull the country out of nasty
hole in such way as to inhict the
minimum of damage.
And he will succeed if those
pesky standpat senators do not
mess things up too much.
RESULT IN MAINE
Did you read the returns from
Maine? 1t wasn't safe to speak to
reactionary for a week after the
wires had told the story of Demo-
cratic triumph.
A few years back the Democrats
used to figure that if they we're
not beaten by MORE than $4,000
majority in Maine they had
chance to carry the country. The
thought of carrying the state was
INDUCED by only the most un-
reasonable partisans, and always
caused their friends to question
their sanity or sobriety.
1t is therefore worthy of note
that on Tuesday, September 15,
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Maine was elected with
1000 votes to spare and that he
and his colleagues made their cam
paign on the record of the national
administration.
MORE 'GRAPE-JUICE' DIPLOMACY.
While millions of men are muir
dering each other in Europe and
President Wilson is lying awake
nights keeping us out of the melee,
the Great Commoner is devoting
his energies to the perfection and
ratification of the most remarkable
series of peace treaties ever pre-
sented to Christendom by first
class power.
There is nothing complicated or
mysterious about these treaties.
They are as straightforward and
honest as the man who drafted
them.
They provide that when this
country becomes involved in Sc.
rious controversy with another ma
tion there shall be no armed clash
until all the issues in dispute have
been submitted to an impartial tri-
bunal for investigation and report

Ell PASO. Texas, March 20,-Saved
by the Mexican whom he had wounded.
L. l.. Taylor arrived here from Colonla
Juarez, In the Mexican Mormon colonies,
after an experience which has turned his
hair gray and put deep lines Of care in
his face.
Taylor owes his life to the bravery Of
his wife and TO the clemency Of a wound
ed Mexican who had been shot by Taylor
while defending his home against the
attack of party of Castillo bandits
under the personal command OF the new
leader Manuel Gutierrez
Taylor was wanted by the Castillo
bandits on the charge OF being unfriendly
to them and giving information to the
rebels when number OF the bandits had
been executed. Gutierrez and his band
of ten rode to the Taylor home in Colonia
Juarez and entered the house.
Taylor's two daughters fed out the
back door to the nelghboring houses tc
give the alarm. while their father ann
mother sought refuge in the parlor,
where the organ from the Mormon church
at Colonia Juarez lad been placed to pre-
vent It's being carried away from the
church,
Taylor crouched behind the organ and
his wife kept her body between the
bandits with drawn rifles and her hus-
band. Once she was not quick enough
for the bandits, and three shots were fired
at her husband over her shoulders. They
missed Taylor, but splintered the organ.
Then Gutierrez succeeded In covering
Taylor with his revolver, after tho Nor
mon had shot one OF his men through the
hand.
Gutierrez was about to f're a bullet into
the Americans brain, when Mrs. Taylor
Ierked his hand down 1t Tas then an
nounced that the execution would take
place In twenty minutes. Witnesses were
summoned and everything made ready
Then Gutierrez decided 20 leuve Taylor's
fate to the wounded bandit. The man
requested that Taylor be spared for his
wife and daughters. 1t was then decided
that ne must pay ransom OF $500 and
for the care Of the wounded man, This
was done and he was ordered to leave
the country
Mr. TAYLOR Is one OF the leading mem
bers of the Mormon colonies In Mexico
and has son living here and one in
