sAIurARY EFFECTS OF MUSIC.

SaIO I@hY EFF6SiS VI "SSsS'
To what are the beneficent effects
Of music due? Darwin, who never
rested until he could explain thing,
if it were explainable. could neverthe-
less no more explain why musica:
tones in a certain order and rhythm
afford pleasure, than we can account
for the pleasantness Of certain odors
and tastes. 1--WE know that sounds,
more or less melodious, are produced
during the season of courtship by
many insects, spiders, fishes, amphi-
bans and birds" After all, says the
Journal Of the American Medical as
sociation, we need go no deeper for
an adequate explanation than that In
fuences, such as music, which are
agreeable, are therefore salutary, and
music is agreeable because its compo-
nent tones are regular, periodic vibra-
ticns, even auritory waves precisely
so many to each note, being In this
regard unlike noises, which are irreg-
ular, dissonant, conflicting vibrations.
Sound waves impinge on the hearing
sense, whence the perception is con-
veyed to the brain. The benignant
influence Of music physically is by
the transmission of its influence from
the cerebrum through the sympathetic
system, which directs the various or
gans. Thus not only is music physic
for the soul, dissipating mental de-
preston, soothing psychic perturba-
tons; but its influence may also en-
nance nutrition, further digestion Gas
by the 'liver music" of the French)
and restore organic equilibrium. In
deed, the entire working TO the hum
an mechanism, physical and mental
alike. may be fabricated by a stream
OF music. which art and science
should therefore have place in the
medical armamentarium.

Old and matured, the Monster OF
Modern NIilitarism is at the throat OF
every human institution. crushing
like eggshells men. women, hopes, am

Born Of an age long gone, and nurs-
ed on the memories of that time; fed
on jealousy hate, oppression, lust,
gold taxed from the poor and wrung
from the rich; controlled by few
men and designed to keep them In
power this hideous monster has been
loosed upon the world At safe dis
lance for their own hides, they are

Why be surprised at the awful re-
suit? All the world knew what would
happen when it escaped. or was re-
leased by those responsible for its
existence
AS we'll expect that the rattlesnake
warmed on your hearth will not

exist harmless in the land.
There was never a question as to
its nature and what it would do when
once set free.
There was no question either but
that sometime it would be freed, and
yet, throughout all the years, with
only faint occasional protest, the poe
pie permitted the growth and devel-
opment Of this monster.
At the expense Of the real develop
ment of the world for the happiness
and prosperity OF its people, we have
stood for forced contribution to this
thing, now grown to hideous maturity,

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY
 COUNCIL IN SESSION
GREATEST MEETING IN HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION AT
 FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

Fort Worth TeNas, tpriis T.-i-The, fourth annual session of the Women's Missionary Council of the Methodist 1 Episcopal church. south, which opens an eight day meeting at the First Methodist church on Wednesday, will be the most important session since the organization of the council at the | last general conference of the South ern Alcoholism at Asheville, N. G., four years ago.
 Due to the fact that in some in stances the bylaws are not adequate to meet the enlarged demands of the work since the organization of the council it is expected that some changes in the bylaws and constitu- tion will be made in order to have them passed upon by the general con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, which meets in Okla homa City during the month of May, 1914 Other important legislative changes are anticipated. However the bulk of these changes will de- yelop from the memorials and resolu- tions that will be presented from the | forty conference societies.
 Other important matters to be given consideration during the coun- cil meeting will be the election of of ficers, which is held every quadren- nium, the reports of the officers, l s,A 4by. bers. the finances and the develop ment of the work at home and abroad the cOnsecration of eleven deaconesses and eight foreign mis- sion candidates and the appointment of each for work under the council at home and in the foreign field, and the appointment of nearly two hun dred workers in the home mission field.
 The committee on estimates for foreign and home departments will recommend to the council the neces- sary appropriations for the support of the coming years work, which will require approximately $500,000.
 Although the womens missionary
 council will not formally open until
 Wednesday night, there will be an important conference Wednesday aft
 ernoon, which will be held by Mrs. Bessie w. Lipscomb, home-base sec
 retary, Nashville. At this conference
 the eighty secretaries of the forty
 conferences and the executive com
 mittee will meet in council and will
 discuss methods of the home and fos eign mission work.

MAKES VIGOROUS REQUEST OF UNITED STATES TO PROTECT
 CITIZENS OF MEXICO.
SEEKS AID OF THE BRITISH
Calls on Admiral at Tampco to Pro-
 tect Spaniards ere-lnternational the Affair.

Washington, April 7.-Vigorous representations went from the Ameri- can government today to General Carranza, the rebel chief, urging him to modify the order of General Villa expelling Spaniards from Torreon. The situation is giving grave concern to authorities here.
 The United States has undertaken to extend to Spaniards in Mexico the same protection it affords American residents there and Ambassador RianO has been assured that nothing will be left undone to assure the un- fortunates at Torreon every right to which they are entitled under inter- national law and usage
 Spain proposes to exhaust every made plain today when Rear Admiral Mayo at Tampico cabled the navy de- partment that the commanding off cer of the British cruiser Hermoine had been instructed to care for Spaniards at that port Officials here did not comment on this devel- opment.
 The state department as well as the spanish embassy, is embarrassed in dealing with the Torreon situation, by lack of exact information as to the extent of the expulsion decrees- how far it has been expected. It is said Villa in a public speech told the Spaniards of Torreon they were to be deported en masse; that a commis- sion would be appointed to examine into each individual case and that such of them as could establish the fact that they have rendered no aid to Huerta would be permitted to re- turn.
 The gravity of the problem has been increased by unofficial but credible information that this policy of expulsion of the Spaniards is to be of general applicatios; that as ! rapidly as the rebels extend their control, they intend to drive out the l Spaniards and seize their property.
 An attempt to carry out such a nlan would meet with determined op- position from the United States. Of- ficials say the Spaniards are in i Mexico under the Troyisions of the treaty conferring the right of resi- dence trade and travel and anything like a sweeping deportation under these circumstances would be in vio- lation of the principles of law and would form proper subject of re- sentiment by the Spanish government even to the extent of hostile meas ures if need be. It also has been | pointed out that as Villas decree in wolves the confiscation of the prop erty of the Torreon Spaniards, 1t is wholly illegal, for even conceding the right of expulsion of aliens under certain conditions, international law
 expressly provides that this shall bt

GOVERNOR GLYNN REFUSES TQ GRANT RESPITE UNTIL AFTER
 BECKER TRIAL.
ELECTROCUTION NEXT WEEK
1t Would Have Been a Miscarriage of Justice to Reprieve Them, Says the Governor After Lengthy Review Of s4+ Their Cases.

Albany, N r., April 7.-Governor Glynn tonight refused to either com mute the sentence of the four gun men convicted of staying Herman ROsenthal or to grant them a re- prieye until after the second trial of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker. They must die by electrocu- ton in Sing Sing next week, prob ably Monday.
 ''It would have been @ miscarriage of justice to have granted commuta- ton, and an improper exercise of eX- ecutive power to have granted a re- prieve," the governor said in a state ment. The case Of the gunmen does not depend on the result of the Becker case, he continued and no evidence has been offered him tend ing to show that there is any reason able probability of anything develop ing in the second Becker trial whics would change the result in the gun mems cases.
 The full names and nicllnames of the condemned men are
 Frank Cirofici C'Dago Frank ], Harry Horowith C'Gyp the Bloody Louis Rosenberg CIeity Louie), and Jacob Seidenshner C'Whitey LewisD. Included in the governors state ment were the texts of letters he received from Supreme Court Justice Golf and District Attorney Charles $. Whitman, who acted in the case Both men strongly opposed respite The district attorney declared that ito delay or prevent the execution ol the just judgment of the law against them would" in his opinion, "tend to destroy the sense of security which every lawabiding citizen should feel. The justice declared there was nc doubt as to the prisoners guilt.
 "I have reviewed the record of the trial and the opinions written i'll the court of appeals on the affirmance oi the judgment of conviction in this case" the governor said and am 1 unable to discover any reason that would justify a reprieve. The convlc ton of these men was affirmed by the court of appeals. The court found no error had been committed in the trial that the defendants had a ran trial and that there was nothing 1T 1 the case at all to require or to justify a new trial
 Justice Golf wrote the governor:
 "As near as absolute certainty cal be attained by human means in human tribunal was attained whel these four men were convicted o murder. The conviction has beeI affirmed by the court of last resort

Chicauo Women Vote.

Chicago, April 7,-Early estimates tonight indicate that between 75,oOo and 100000 of the 217614 women voters eligible to vote here went to the polls for the first time today to east their votes in the aldermanic election. The male voters, of whom 455.2S3 were registered voted lh about the same proportion. None or the nine women candidates Who sought to represent their wards Tn the city council was elected and eX- cept in the First ward, where MISS Marion Drake made spectacuir fight against John Gath House) COghlin, the women candidates boiled only a small fraction of the women votes.
 Indications are that Coughlin won by about to 1. The suffrage forces were iubilant, however, and said thls showing was the entering wedge by which they expect ultimately to de- feat Coughlin and Michael (Hinky Dink) Kenna, who have represented the ward for nearly quarter or a century.
 Numerous charges of irregularities in voting were made to the election commission by Miss Drake's cam paign managers.
