Mothers CONGRESS
RECOGNIZES DISTRICT
Board of Managers Gives Local
Branch Same Status as State
Organization.

Given the same status as State in the
National Congress of Mothers and Pa
rent-Teacher Associations. as result of
formal vote at the meeting yesterday
afternoon, of the board of managers OF
the congress. the District of Columbia
from this time forward will have an i'm
Dortant part in the councils of the Moth
ers' organization.
Always heretofore. the District Of CO.
Iumbia has been regarded as city only
by the Congress Of Mothers. but the local
branch. with its ninety-six parent-teacn-
or associations and its excellent Organi-
zation, now has won its point for greater
recognition.
The board of managers of the National
Congress Of Mothers and Parent-TeaChSr
Associations was in executive session
all day Yesterday. following the adj
Journment Monday night of the third
international congress on the Welfare of
the Child.
Mrs. Frederic SchofT. of Philadelphia.

from che to five national vice presidents

presidents will serve for one year-or the
time required for the adoption Of an
amendment to the constitution increas-
ing to a total Of ten the vice presidents
OF the national body. II was agreed also
that all past national officers shall be
members of the board of managers.

U. S. CODE BOOK Thief
Held AMONG REFUGEES
Officials Discover How Mexico OBJ
tanned Key to Private Cipher
Messages.
STOLEN FROM WARSHIp'S MAIL

Special to The Washington Herald.
Galveston, Tex, April S.-Held on
board the battleship Connecticut with
500 other Guaranteed American refugees,
is a man who, government officials be-
lieve. has been the>cause of the leak in
the governments private messages. The
man is a former government employe,
was indicted at Laredo on a charge of
betraying government secrets and es-
capped across the border to Mexico.
At present Federal officials cannot act
against him because of the Texas quar-
aptine laws. II was learned that the
missing government private code book
was intercepted in the mail from a bat
tleship. This may solve the mystery of
the possession by Mexico of the govern
ment code. which has been giving Ameri-
can officers keen concern.
The discovery that three refugees have
smallpox is likely to result in the thous-
ands of Americans fleeing from the south
ern republic being held up for many
days. There are now more than 1900
refugees on ships in the harbor or de-
tanned ashore. and 1,5oO more are expected
within a few hours. Both federal and
state immigration officers are over
whelmed.
Among the 1,aO6 refugees released from
quarantine on the steamer Esperanto
this afternoon were John Hay, son of
the late Secretary of State, and the
family of X. N. Van Zandt, the banker
imprisoned in Mexico City.

REBEL CHIEFS ARE Still.
Treating With HUERTA
Bands About Capital Have Come to
Terms and Military Element

MEXICAN WRITER PESSIMISTIC

Special Correspondent Of The Washing

Telegraph.

Special Correspondent Of The Washing
ton Herald and the London Daily
Telegraph.
Mexico City. April Sit is certain that
the various revolutionary chiefs are still
negotiating with the Huerta government
ana some OF them have already come TO
an agreement Those who have come
to terms are the bands fighting in the
states bordering upon the capital.
Deep mystery shTouds the actions and
intentions of the revOlutionists in the
north. II must be borne in mind that
the insurgents in the various parts OF
the republic are not united but fSfm in
dependent bodies.
The logic Of the situation authorizes a
certain degree OF pessimism. There are
rumOrs of a rebel advance on the capital.
which for the moment are unfounded.
hut which are valuable as an indication
of the trend OF feeling. Nothing seems
to be imminent. So far Huerta has still
on his side the military element, which
forms the solid nucleus OF organization.
While defending Huerta. the army de-
tends its own life. In the event of re-
verses. which are by no means improb-
able, we may see the final struggle
brought to the gates of the capital The
defense would be aided by the Indian
hordes, who only the other day were in
terrible prospect
The revoluntary agents are spreading
the report that the period OF atrocities
is ended and that the rebels of the north.
when they arrive at the capital will
behave respectfully. But the revolution
lists. arriving here furious with per-
sonal hatreds. would not allow their
enemies to live If they could prevent it.
There is sufficient revoluntary deClara-
ton as to this to ieave the matter in no
dc ubt.
over Mexico City hangs the agOnizing
threat of revolution. II 1t comes il will
BE- far more terrible than the famous
tragic ten days of last year. when 300
citizens lost their lives. But this state
of suspense may be prolonged indefinite
ly. No economic siege and no occupa-
ton Of ports and the successive blockade
by which America has attempted to
throttle the country would really affect
the Mexicans Foreigners alone would he
disturbed since the commerce, industries
and finance OF Mexico are almost en-
tirely in foreign hands.

OF MEDIATION
In PRINCIPLE" PAVES WAY
FOR ENDLESS QUIBBLING

New York. April 2S.-The Interna-
tional News Service in response to a
message which IL sent to the Mexican
secretary of foreign affairs, Senior
Portillo Y Rojas. received today the
following telegram:
"SecretariO Relations, Mexico City,
April -.
To the International News Service.
In principle l accept with esteem
the friendly mediation to which your
message refers.
LOPEZ PORTILLO."
As this message was dated April 81
and was not received in New York I'M
til 7:46 this morning, there had evil
IDENTIFY been considerable delay in
transmission. II is not unreasonable
to assume that il is similar to the
message that was received from Senior
Portillo last night by the Spanish Am
bassadOr in Washington. 1t will be
observed that in this message the Mex
lean foreign minister accepts media
ton lin principle" only. and that the
way is left open to endless conditions,
objections and bubbles.

Most alarming reports from Mexico
come from Rear Admiral Mayo. at
Tampico. He stated that feeling
against Americans ran high in the
town and that Overtures were being
made TO the rebels to join tho federals
in ATTACKING citizens of the United
States. The rebel attack there still
continued.
A general exodus of refugees con-
tinued today. The Brazilian Embassy
informed the State Department that
Mexico City was quiet and resentment
against Americans dying down. Rear
Admiral Fletcher today reported Vera
Cruz quiet with anti-American feeling
in allegiance. and streets and theaters
are crowded.
