Wo~en In ItaIy and Spain.

Even in the middle classes the wife
in Italy or Spain is often made to feel
that she ia an inferior creature, whose
only proper sphere is the home al
though she is allowed to share her
husbands pleasures to a greater ex-
tent thai the German frau. But, as
a rule, her home life is by no means
unhappy, for both Spaniards and ltal-
ians of the middle and upper classes
spend much OF their leisure time with
their families.

The ~tenseness in the situation grip
ped officials Of the state, war and navy
departments. In the state depart
ment telegraph room there was an
ominous silence. Chief Clerk Davis,
Of the state department was there
with a telephone at his elbow, ready
to summon Secretary Bryan from his
home. Secretary OF the Navy Daniels
was also within call. He left word
that he would be back at 8 o'clocn
and expressed the belief that no word
would be received before that time.
At 1888 P. NJ.
WASHINGTON, April 1e.-At 1888
p. m. tonight the state department
telegraph office began copying mes
sages which were said t. be import
ant dispatches from Mexico. 1t was
asserted by officials however, that
these probably did not bear on the
ultimatum to President Huerta. Of
ficials reiterated their belief that
there would be no reply to the ulti-
matum until 10 o'clock tonight.
At s:36 p. NJ.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-At 1886
p. m. q Mexico City the national cap
ital Is still without word whether Die
tator Huerta had accepted or reject
ed President Wilson's ultimatum. At
that hour Secretary to the President
Tumulty began what he expected
would be a long vigil at the white
house.
State department officials hurried
out for a brief lunch and for the first
time the telegraph room was deserted
except for the watchful operators.
sAll officials had hoped against hope
that some brief word might come from
Charge O'Shaughnessy indicating
Huerta's attitude, by the time set
for expiration Of the ultimatum and
when that word did not come, they
were convinced no dispatches would
be received until midnight or later.
The Message at 1851 p. N.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Charge
|O'Shaughnessy at 1851 o'clock tonight
started to shoot a message to the
state department. This was the first
word from him since shortly after
noon. The simple announcement
from the state department carried NO
word as to whether or not 1t was
Huerta's final answer, but it was be-
lieved to be his reply. This reply will
be deciphered by experts az rapidly
as possible and Secretary of State
Bryan will be informed OF it's con
tents Immediately. This process it is
probable, win require at least a half
hour, possibly longer, depending on
it's length.

loving a brief interchange OF mes

authoritatively stated that no oficial
word had been received from Dictator
Huerta.
State department officials were
optimistic. Those Of the army and
navy were not. Diplomatic officials
argued 1t was a Latin-American char
acteristic Il strike as good a bargain
as possible and that Huerta would
finally recede from his defiant posi-
ton and salute the flag without at
tempting to get any promise for a re-
turn salute by the United States.
They admitted however that no dis
patches confirming this belief had
been received. Secretary Bryan had

hiring thugs, sluggers and gunner
to fight their circulation battles, and
the police department of Chicago
winked at it. Two murders were
committed in Chicago during the
newspaper lockout of 1912 by news
paper gunner, who were ex-convicts.
Having got away with this lawless-
ness in Chicago for years, evidently
some of the newspaper circulators
thought they could get away with it
in Cleveland. But it appears that they
have run up against mayor and
chief of police who are not afraid of
the newspapers and won't stand for
gunner circulators. Mayor Baker
said:
"The very newspapers that raised
the hue and cry over the so-called
waves of crime in Cleveland we're
themselves responsible in large de-
gree for the existence of that crime"
Probably the worst school of
crime conducted in Chicago for years
has been in the circulation depart
ment of newspapers that tried to
push circulation by hiring sluggers as
division bosses; and string of muir
ders mark the length of the news
paper circulation war for the past IA
years.

Cleveland won't stand for Chicago
newspaper circulation methods IN
Guiding newspaper gunner:
Dan Hanna, son of ex-senator
Hanna, owns the Cleveland Leader
and the Cleveland Evening News.
Some time ago the management OF
his circulation department was
turned over to a Hearst circulator,
who had got much of his experience
in the newspaper lockout and strike
of two years ago in Chicago.
Some of Chicago's expert news
paper sluggers were imported to
Cleveland and a reign of terror in
augurated.
There was much smuggling la Chi
cago for months, but the climax came
this week when a Plaindealer circu-
lator was murdered by two Leader
circulators, and Harvey ]. Callahan
and Frank O'Neill were arrested,
charged with the murder.
Mayor Baker at once announced
that the circulation war of the news
papers was the most outrageous
scandal ever placed upon any city and
said it must end at once.
Police Chief Rowe issued ironclad
orders to the force to disarm all
newspaper circulators and Sheriff
Smith ordered all special licenses is
sued to deputies, 200 in all, revoked.
The man murdered was Thomas
Gibbons, a Plaindealer circulator.
Mayor Baker said in an interview:
1.-THE death of poor Gibbons will per-
form a great public service in expos
ing to the public the system of thug
gerry and assault that has been prac-
ticed for the purpose of increasing
newspaper circulation. Information
was laid before me some time ago
that men of dangerous character had
come from Chicago to work in the
Leader circulation department"
