RAGTIME GOOD FOR CHILDREN
Expert at Music Supervisors Confer
ence Defends Popular Songs-Says
They Are Beneficial.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Ragtime music
and the singing of popular songs Of
the day does not injure the musical
mind of the public school child, but
rather encourages individual musical
ability, says Ralph L. Baldwin, musi.
cal supervisor of the public schools at
Hartford, Conn, who is in Minneapolis
attending the seventh annual meeting
of the National Conference of Music
Supervisors.
Il have learned" said Mr.. Baldwin.
"that ragtime music or the singing OF
popular songs does not injure the
child musically; that is, if not carried
to an extreme. Ragtime music is moth.
ing more nor less than foot ticker
for all of US, and it is good change
to fall back upon after pursuing music
for some time. You know we have
to have change in music once in a
while, Just as we have to have a va.
cation or rest from our work, and this
lighter vein Of music is what brings
about that change. 1t would not be
good enough. though, for the public
school pupil to just follow the popular
songs of the day and do nothing else,
for 1t leads to nothing"

NO FORMAL BASIS REACHED.
Mediators Merely Say They Are Max
Inc Smooth Progress.

Niagara Falls, Ontario. - Smooth
progress toward common agreement
on all phases Of the Mexican problem
is being made by the mediators and
the American and Mexican delegates.
This was stated with emphasis by the
mediators after a day Of conferences
principally with the Mexican dele
gates.
The three South American diplomats
made it plain that while every aspect
of the Mexican situation, both internal
and international, had been laid be-
fore the delegates from the United
States and Mexico, no formal basis
had yet been reached for the treat
ment in any specified order of the
issues involved. Nor has the relative
importance of the main issues been
defined.

EAGLE IS NOT A KlDNAPER

Belvidere, N. J.-Eagles making
their homes in the cliffs of Jenny
Jump mountain have been exonerated
of blame for the theft of two-year-old
Michael Dunai, who was missing for
"a hours. The child was found in the
woods half mile from his home. He
was unconscious, and his hands and
feet were partly frozen.
Young MichaeTs parents were work.
ing in the field and left him on the
porch of their farmhouse. When they
got home at noon the child and the
family Newfoundland dog were gone
Searchers hunted all night, some OF
them even visiting the eyries Of
eagles on the mountain, suspectine
that one Of the birds might have
stolen the baby.
A party from Danville came on the
child. The Newfoundland dog was
standing by and would let no one ap.
proach. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunal had to be
called before the dog would give up its
threatening defense Of the baby. It is
believed the child will recover.

London, May 25.-By a vote Of S51

afternoon passed the Home Rule bill.
The measure was subsequently sent
up to the House Of Lords, accompanied
by group of jubilant Nationalists.

bill and sang "God Save Ireland"
The House of Lords afterward for.

The real fight on the measure in
that chamber will begin In the middle
Of June, after the Whitsuntide holiday.
A veto by the House Of Lords, how.
ever, has no further effect, as under
the provisions of the Parliament act
the bill becomes law, having passed
three times through all its stages in
the House Of Commons in three separ.

The end of the hard-fought struggle
in the House came quite suddenly, the
Unionists refusing to debate the bill
without further information as to the
Governments intention in regard to

SlLLlMAN SAFE
COMPLICATION TO MEDIATION
REMOVED.

Washington, D. c. Threatening
complications to mediation was re-
moved when definite word reached the
State Department that Vice Consul
John r. Silliman, arrested at Saltillo
and long sought for. had arrived safe
iy at Mexico City.
The news of Siliiman's safety be-
came known at the moment when Sec
retary Bryan was making public re-
ports received from refugees that
Silliman had been executed on May
16 by the Federals at Saltillo
Great relief was expressed by Cab
met members, several of them saying
it removed one of the most dangerous
features in the situation.
While, however, Silliman himself is
safe, there remain several very grave
features connected with his arrest.
Unoficial reports indicated he was
placed under arrest while acting as
United States consul, imprisoned,
tried as a spy and condemned to
death.
Also that the United States Con.
sulate was entered, the oficial
archives being taken, including the
State Departments code. Silliman's
personal safety relieves the situation,
but the other indignities remain to be
atoned for in the ultimate settlement

Reiterates Disappr0vaI.
STRONG FOR BLUE SABBATH
Move TO Have ,nomination Attack

ed-saturday Half Holi-
day Urged.

Chicago Granting of the Saturday
half holiday as a means of stricter
observance of the Sabbath was urged
in the report Of the Committees on
Sabbath Observance made to the Cen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States Other
recommendations made by the COM
mittee were:
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its strong and emphatic disap-
proval of all secular uses of the Sab
bath day, all games and sport, in civic
life, as also in the Army and Navy,
and all unnecessary travelling and all
excursions, and urges upon all EN-
ployers of labor and captains Of in
dustry to recognize the need Of the
laboring man for his weekly rest day
and thereby insures his greater eff
cheney and happiness and the greater
prosperity of both capital and labor.
"That we Eost respectfully call at
tention of all public officials to the
potent influence of their position, on
all moral questions and the necessity
of greater care on their part, that they
may strengthen rather than weaken,
by their influence, public and private
observance of the Lords day.
Want Blue Sunday.
"That all families be urged not to
buy anything on the Sabbath, to plan
for their servants on the Sabbath and
to help them fulfil their religious
duties and pay laborers so they may
have Saturday afternoon to make pro-
vision for the Sabbath"
THAT the General Assembly reiter-
ates its emphatic condemnation of the
Sunday newspaper and urges the
members of the Presbyterian Church
to refuse to subscribe for 1t or read
it, or advertise in it."
THAT the faculties of colleges and
seminaries, if the way be clear, be
requested to omit recitations Monday
mornings, SO as to leave the Sabbath
free from the necessity of students
preparing their lessons on that day."
Hits commercialized Sport.
At the session of the General As
sem.ly here there was suggestion
from the floor that a sentence in the
report of the committee on Sabbath
observance disappearing "all secular
games and sports on Sunday" be
changed to read "all commercialized
games and sports" The suggestion
failed to carry.
Rev. H. L. Bobby, of New York, de-
clared that sabbath desecration is
the greatest problem in America to-
day."
"Commercialized sports" he said,
particularly baseball, are a moral
menace"

Camden, N. j., started to pull it apart
for q chicken stew. She grabbed one
Of the legs with her right hand and
started to pull. She pulled and pulled
until she was convinced that the fowl
must have been at least 100 years old.
Then she pulled some more. but be-
fore she could seperate the legs she
felt sudden twinge in her arm.

ates were engaged against the Union
troops in the fields in front of Fort
Stevens. Because of this fact the old
house has acquired and maintains it's
distinction as Gen Early's headquar-
ters."
That in itself is an interesting fact;
but the interest is considerably height
ened by the fact that the present own
er and occupant of the historic house
is man who, as a Union trooper,
fought on the. fields around Fort Stew
ems. His name is John H. Wolff. He
is employed in one of the government
departments in Washington and is a
particularly well preserved man, with
a clear memory.
A visitor stopped at that house
quite by accident recently and, seeing
several rusty cannon shot in use as
parlor ornaments, asked the question
which brought forth the reply that

fought against him."

OF the Trip From saItiIIo.

Washington, D. C. While the
mediation negotiations, in the wards
Of q high ohicial, were progressing
smoothly, new source Of apprehen-
sion on the part Of foreign diplomats
was found in the situation at Guada-
lajara, the second city in Mexico,
where large numbers of foreign
refugees are reported to have gather
ed. Reports were received that ban
dts were gathering in the mountain
near the city and threatening to attack
the town in case of withdrawal OF
its garrison. Part of the Constitu-
tonalist army, under General Obregon,
was also pushing forward toward this
city, arousing fears for the safety OF
the foreigners during the hostilities.
No advices reached the State Depart
ment, however, to indicate any press
ing danger there.
Conditions at Tampico continued
to improve, and while neither the
State Department nor the naval Off
GERS on the spot felt justified in ad-
vising general return of the Ameri-
cans who had left Mexico during the
disorders, the Secretary Of the Navy
granted permission to refugees now at
Galveston, who claimed they were
brought from Tampico against their
will, to return on the transport Han

also have left Galveston for Tampico.

first placed in cell three feet by

well and were released only after
they had pointly signed a state

ever, was held after the others left,
on the charge that he was spy.

have struck the first of the series Of
rocks the purposes and attitude Of
Carranza and the Constitutionalists-
on which may be wrecked the fragile
craft of peace the A. B. c. powers
have been endeavoring to construct.
A message from Niagara Falls in
dicating that the mediators were
anxious for information as to the
plans and purposes of the Constitu-
tionalists, and that it was essential
that the Constitutionalists should
have a representative at Niagara to
furnish that information was made
public. Since the Constitutionalists
had refused to participate in the
mediation scheme it was a delicate
proposition to put up to them.
However, after series of confer
ences here, it became known that a
Constitutionalist representative will
likely be sent to Niagara for the pur-
pose of furnishing information to the
A. B. G. mediators as to Carranza's
plans and purposes.

Up To carranza.

If General Carranza consents, it is
probable that the Constitutionalist
representative to be sent to Niagara
will be Jose Vasconceles, young
Mexican lawyer who is the Constitu-
tionalists' confidential agent in Can
ada. Vasconceles is now in Montreal.
The Constitutionalist representa-
tive will go with the distinct under.
standing that he is not to participate
in mediation, that he is only to serve
as medium of information concern
ing Constitutionalist aims and condi-
tions in the territory they control,
and that the sending of such a repre-
sentative is not to involve the Con-
stitutionalists in any way in any plan
of the mediators for the pacifcation Of
Mexico.
