MINIATURE CLUB HOUSE
DAWSON WOMAN'S CLUB WILL
HAVE UNIQUE EXHIBIT.
Will BE Sent to Albany Monday to
Represent Local Club in the
Federation Meeting.

Various members of the Woman's
Club have been working Industrious
ly a week or more on a miniature
log cabin club house that will be sent
to Albany to represent the local chap
ter at the federation meeting to be
held there October 27-29.
The cabin was built under the di-
rection of Mrs. T. c. Geise, who holds
the position of district chairman of
arts and crafts. The young ladies of
the club, Misses Zuleita Clay, Alice
Melton and Ida Christie and Mrs.
Willard Nasworthy, are furnishing
the cabin. 1t has dainty curtains OF
swiss, all the furnishings being of
cotton. The window boxes are filled
with flowers; in fact, it is an exact
fac smile of the pretty club house
on Sixth avenue.
The idea of sending a reproduc-
ton of the club house originated
with Mrs. l. P. Cooke, and under
her direction the furnishings are
being made. The rest room, with its
ebony attendant, is one of the feat
ures, while the club room, with eight
fashionably attired dolls, is the scene
of a busy club session. Mrs. T. B,
Raines and Miss Minnie Bridges are
making centerpieces, etc, and Mrs.
C. w. Dozier, under the instruc-
ton of Mrs ] R. Irwin, who is not a
club member, is making the rag car
pet and rugs. On the front porch is
miniature bale of cotton with its
placard, buy a bale" The fedora
ton coat of paint was put on by the
arts and crafts committee, while the
finish is being given by Misses Mary
and Sallie Marshall. 1t is we'll worth
ones time to visit the club house
and inspect the reproduction, and the
public is cordially invited to do so.
The exhibit will be sent to Albany
Monday.

Juarez, Mex, April THE policy
of expelling Spaniards from Mexico is
settled one with the rebel govern
ment, it was. learned here today. Ac-
surning that the revolutionists will
continue their victorious march south
ward, Spaniards in all new territory
taken will be expelled, as we're those
from Torreon.
The policy is not new, but was per
fectly understood between General
Carranza and General Villa at the
outset of the campaign. At Torreon
he acted in accordance with this UNI
derstanding, which, it is pointed out,
explains why General Carranza was
not consulted. The understanding had
been reached long before, and it was
only required of General Villa that
he report what steps he had taken
General Carranza, it is state authori-
tatively, regards the expulsion of enc
mics of his cause of whatever nation
ality as a right sanctioned by prece-
dent Of many wars, and one to which
he is disposed to adhere, despite pos
sible protests from other govern
Inents The spaniards Of Torreon
mad not departed this forenoon, but
it was expected that their trains
would get under way by night on the
trip to El Paso.
General Carranza himself will con
duct the investigation of rights Of in
diyidual Spaniards to return to Tor
reon. Each one VIII be allowed to
testify for himself and to present af-
fdavits that he never wilfully worked
against the constitutionalists. ,s
In the majority of cases, however,
the rebels claim to have convincing
information of the adverse personal
activities of the Spaniards.

An editorial in Ell Diario today
says:
From an international point Of
view President Wilson's policy to-
ward Mexico has suffered blow,
which not only in the United States
but in Europe has had cruel ring
for the good name Of American dipIo-
macy"
After citing anti-administration ex-
tracts from New York papers and re-
ferrihg to the retirement of John
Bassett More, from the counselorshfp
of the state department, the article
concludes:
Under universal pressure It has
been decided to adopt as a guide for
future policy the result Of the contest
at Torreon II the Mexican federal
government triumphs over the rebel
lion, President Wilson will see him
self obliged to change his policy in
favor of the actual government Of
Mexico If the rebellion wins, the
American government will intervene
in some form. The rebels will not
accede to power, since they offer no
guarantee to civilization"

WORKS SAYS ENGLAND, IF Ex.
EMPTIoN IS GRANTED, WILL
NOT BE HURT

Washington, April Fifteen days
OF public hearings, beginning on Apri
9, on the Sims bill to repeal the Pan
anna tolls exemption were decided on
today by the senate canals committee
Administration supporters pressing
for a minimum of delay IN getting the
Sims bill out of committee professed
to be satisfied with the plan for Is
days of hearings, provided added time
was not reserved for consideration OF
the bill after hearings are over. The
hearings will give opportunity for
threshing out various amendments,
principal among them being one to re-
affirm the sovereignty Of the United
States over the canal zone and its
right under the treaty to grant an ex-
emption to coastwise ships, if it de-
sires to do so.
The controversy continued to eclipse
interest in all other business in the
senate chamber Senator Works, re-
publican, Of California, made a lengthy
speech analyzing the treaty obliga-
tions Of the United States.
The granting of this exemption is.
a purely domestic matter" said he.
There could be no discrimination
against Great Britain because no for
eign nation can enter into the coast
wise trade. Some Of our representa-
tives have out Britished the British
in their claims for that nation"
Senator Brandegee, republican, cast
the only vote against the hearings,
saying he did so because he believed
the committees action would have no
weight. He urged that che repeal
bin be returned to the senate without
any report and that the fight be trans
felred to the floor.
The committee adjourned until
Thursday with the understanding that
the authors of various bills and res
olutions on the subject will then be
heard, pending the arrival of Witness
es from New Orleans and the Pacific
coast.
By a vote of S5 to %, the. first taken
IN the senate on the Panama tolls ex-
smption controversy, Senator Poin-
iexter's resolution asking President
