Would Take Place of Army h
 Case Of Emergency,
.HO BREACH IN THE CABINET
Rumors That Persistenty Arise Are Without Foundation - Bryan and Daniels Favor Peace In Mexico While Garrison and Lane Think That Action Is Inevitable.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, May 20.-LSpcciall- One of the unexplained features of the demonstration against Mexico is that such tremendous fleet has been kept in Mexican wutcrs-a fleet which We would use to fight a nation with a big navy.
 For the most part nearly everybody thinks that, so far as naval activity is concerned, some of the smaller cruis- CTS and gunboats and possibly a few torpedo boats would have been sufi- cIeut to handle the Mexican coast. But in addition to such vessels, the biggest ships of the navy are stewing in the hot waters of the gulf of Mex leo, laying off the ports and doing their share of "wutchful waiung.'
 An explanation of the reason for keeping so many ships in Mexican wa ters has been made, but not by the officials. It appears that the admin istration is loath to send any more soldiers into Mexico, but at the same time felt that the situation was such that 1t may be necessary to land again a large force of sailors, so the ships are lowering around the Mexican ports fin order to have the navy take the place of the army on shore if any great emergency should arise.
 No Breach Apparent.
 While it has been reported several times, and with some show of accu- racy, that there is a breach in the cab met of President Wilson, there is no confirmation of anything of the kind If certain cabinet officers disagree with other cabinet officers they have been careful not to discuss their differences with anybody and make an authorita- l tive statement on the subject
 It has been assumed that Secretary Bryan in the state department and l Secretary Daniels in the navy depart ment have been standing out against war in Mexico, while it is supposed 1 that Secretary Garrison and Secretary Lane are of the opinion that evidently the United States will have to take hold and settle the Mexican problem 1 by military means and the sooner it is ] done the better
 ! Of course if there are any such differ ences there Is one man who controls. l The president always has the last word, and what he says goes, whether 1t suits certain members of the cabinet or not.
 HobnObbed With the Kaiser. Major General WOtherspoon, now chief of stan of the army, has had a wide and varied experience in military affairs and a splendid opportunity to study military conditions. He has been sent abroad on different occasions tC study the military situation in Europe 1 and on one trip he met the German 1 emperor, and they became good friends l The kaiser found General Wother l spoon a mau to his liking, particularly ; on account of his wonderful knowledge

of military conditions.
 When Is a Subsidy2
 On account of the reason given for the repeal of the canal tolls, that 1t is a subsidy to- the cOastwise shipping, the subject bobs up frequently in dis cussions in the senate. A few days ago Senator GalIingeT- of New Hamp- shire asked if many of the approprla- tions in the agricultural appropriation bill were not virtually subsidies and If money from the people was being used to build up a certain class. The bill was in charge of Senator Gore of Okla bOma. who in response remarked that it was the desire of the committee t"to rally as much support to the bill as possible. and we thought by inserting a subsidy we would have the unani- nous and enthusiastic support of the senior senator from New Hampshire"
 A Harmless Commodity.
 Senator Norris of Nebraska was dis cussing the canal tolls with especial reference to freight rates, and in the course of his remarks he said, Lets take grape juice, one of the commodi- ties that has not only increased in use but in popularity"
 "What article is that?" asked Mar tine of New Jersey, who had not been giving much attention.
 Grape juice, answered Norris.
 "Oh, that harmless cOmmoditym re- piled Maritime scOrnfulIy.
 "Thc senator is not interested in that" suaycIy remarked Norris and went on with his speech.
 Another Roosevelt,
 Congressman Bryan of Washington was one day discussing the navy yard at Puget sound and remarked, "AIr. Roosevelt when he came back the oth- CT day from inspection of the navy yard said the Bremcrton yard was bully"
 "What Rooscve}t?" asked Madden of Illinois.
 .or." replied Bryan, it was not T. F.. but if was another bully as. sistaut secretary of the navy who said the Puget sound yard was a bully yard"

Washington, May 23. - LSpeclaLl- After the Democratic caucus there were numerous predictions that that pction meant an early adjournment, but there are others who are not quite SD optimistic, especially those on the senate side of the capitol
 Several senators said that if the president still insisted upon putting through the trust legislation congress would be in session until October. Some ur them went so far as to say tlat there would be three months dis cussiou on tue trust bills before they could pass the senate. Unless the program for having the bill reported and having no action at thIs session Is taken it looks as though congress would Ye here for a long time.
 Delayed Lobby Report.

 tolls and other bills that are pending 7ra kept away because if they put in m appearance we would have them before thc committee" So it appears rha. the wcrs fact that this committee ma-at meet at any time is a good ond- Igtc for lobbyists.

SIoan's LittIe Joke.

The house had a bill up for two reve- nue cutters. and Congressman Sloan of Nebraska obtained a little time from Chairman Adamson of the interstate commerce committee and asked him why there was any necessity for more revenue cutters. We have the greatest revenue cutter in this house, known to the world as the ways and means com mittee." said Sloan. "It has reduced the revenue $4S,OOOOOO since last Oc- tober"
 "I object to the gentleman trlding with my young affections" replied Ad- amson, flor he gave me an intimation of that witticism. and l told him l would object to the genueman's re- mark in the house this afternoon be- cause it is not up to his standard, and l would not have yielded to him f l had thought be was going to inflCt that upon us"

A NEW COURT FOR BOYS WITH A
HUMAN JUDGE PRESIDING

A new court is to be opened, spe-.
cializing in the cases of boys whose
ages range from seventeen to twenty
one years, and it is reported that
Judge Thomas F. Scully will be ap-
pointed Judge.
The establishing of this court
will fill a long-felt want and with
Judge Scully presiding will undoubt-
edly be an enormous power for good,
as Judge ScuIly is one of the most
humane judges on the bench.
Byt why limit it to a court for
boys? At the present time there is
no court for girls between eighteen
and twenty-one. A great many cases
of girls between these ages come into
police courts on rape and other
charges and such evidence must be
given in the most sordid of surround
ings amidst the most sordid congre-
cations of humanity.
A Day Book reporter, talking to
Judge Scully in the Chicago avenue
police court about a rape case in
which the girl accuser broke down,
and cried because of the publicity,
asked him if he did not think there
should be a special court for these
cases.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-13

81 think provision should be made
for girls between the ages of eighteen
and twenty-one," the Judge said.
They are just as liable to err as
boys. And in cases of this kind, many
men go unpublished because the girl
breads to come into a court and tell
her story.
''If l had my way, these cases
would be heard in private. l should
admit no one into the courtroom who
was not interested in the case. There
are always a lot of morbid curiosity
seekers who flock to police courts
and other courts to listen to the de-
tails of a rape case.
Many girls never make public
charges against men who have been
guilty of this sort of crime merely
because they dread the ordeal of tell
ing the story in police COURT
1t would seem not only feasible
plan but a good plan to have the
boys court combined with a court
for girls between eighteen and TWEEN
ty-one and have Judge Scully preside
over both. His influence and guild
ance would be as beneficial and is as
needed for girls as for boys.

KoHLSAAT SUED FOR $50, 252
ALLEGED TO BE PAST DUE

The expected has happened.
George Wheeler Human, former
owner of the Inter Ocean, yesterday
filed suit for $96,252 of the SLIT, 500
purchase price still due him from H.
H. Kohlsaat, the present owner.
Human in his bill claims that the
unpaid money is four months over
due.
On Sept. 80, 1912, Kohlsaat gave
Human a note for $177 500 and for
making part payment was given pos
session of 1910 shares, the control
ling interest in the Inter Ocean.
When the unpaid balance fell due
Human made demand for payment
or the return of the stock. No money
was forthcoming and Kohlsaat stuck
to the stock.
Kohlsaat hasn't yet made a state
ment. Human is now president Of
the Marietta, o., college.

'Now, some one will say that polyg-

state. All Of Us recall the Prophet
(by most fortunate coincidence
had a revelation just at the time that
the government demanded monogamy

telling him that the Mormons should
cease practising polygamy. The play,
however, brings out very clearly that
the practice did not cease. How could
it consistently DO so, when il is the

tire creed? A woman's soul, accord
ing to it, can only be saved BY her hus-
bands taking many other wives and
by her having a great many children.

ables it is well 70 write out COM

ner. Even though the contents Of the
box may be divided into several in
formal spreads, the fact that menu
is kept in mind by the sender will re-
suit in a better balanced assortment.
There will also be less chance for
omissions. The grapefruit will be sure
10 have its bottle Of Maraschino cher
ries, the sardines viii have Their
lemons and the boned fowl its accom-
paniment of jelly.
1t is pretty idea 20 have this menu
written on q decorated card, tied with
red ribbon and holly, and placed where
il will be seen Immediately on opening
the box This will serve as an in
ventory, and is a graceful as we'll as
practical way of acquainting the re-
cipient with the conteurs.
Send Only Food That Keeps.
Unless the journey is TO be short
one, it is a mistake 20 send anything
that will not keep perfectly. As de-
lays are easily possible during the
holiday rush, it is usually better to
have the Christmas boA include high
grade goods in glass or tin rather than
take any chances with home cooked
meat or fowl.

A nut cracker, a shsrp knife and a sup
