POWER OF
HUERTA'S PEACE
COMMISSIONERS
Prominent Mexicans Do Not Re-
gard as Real Broad Author
ity Given Them.

VERA CRUZ. May 11.-Emilio Ra-
hasa, Augustin Rodriguez and Luis
Elguero, the three peace commission
ers appointed by President Huerta to
represent him at the Niagara Fails
conference, who sail today for Ha-
vana en- route to Key West, are
clothed with fun powers, nominally
at least to sign any agreement or
convention.
The Mexican Senate, in a resolution
approving President Huerta's nomin-
aiions of the three commissioners
conferred "full power and ample au-
thority TO judge. counsel, carry on
business and sign any agreement or
treaty whatever.
MANY prominent MeNlcans neie,
however, are not inclined to regard
this broad authority as real. OtisiS
believe that Huerta has instructed
tho commissioners to place no insur-
lnountabIe objections to an amleaole
adjustment of the difficulties with the
United states, believing that the 1al.-

Local Salvation Army
Officers to Be Delegates to
Worlds Congress in London

Newark officers of the Salvation
Army will attend the worlds con-
gress of that organization which will
be held in London, England, next
month Among the officers from this
city who will go are:
Majors George i. easier and j. ID.
Allen and Captain George Hewitt.
Majors easier and Allen will be ac-
companied by their wives.
The American delegation, 700 in all,
will leave aboard the Olympic May
80. 1t will be accompanied by four
brass bands. It is expected that &c.
900 Salvationists will attend the con-
gress.
One of the most impressive dele
gates to the Congress from America
will he Adjutant Emma Westbrook.
She is past seventy years old. She is
the only survivor of a contingent of
seven girls and one man who landed
at Castle Garden in the fall of 1880
and announced their purpose of
taking possession of the United
States in the name of God and the
Salvation Army"
AT that time there was about $50

brook. I'VE had no hall in which
to preach. The churches were closed
against us and the police excluded us
from the streets. We tried to make
ourselves felt, but all we got in re-
turn for our efforts was the con-
tempt of the multitude and the con-
tumely of the better class
Adjutant Westbrook said the only
way they got hearing was by
dividing time with a vaudeville show
man in the old tenderloin district. 1t
took three months of hard labor to
procure a convert. During this time
the little party was threatened with
starvation. They kept bravely on,
however.
From that little beginning has
evolved great institution which COL
lects and disburses many millions of
dollars annually and has representa-
tives and institutions in every i'm

Last week the daily newspapers of New

with the caption, What Abraham Lin

the fact that the advertiser sold Ameri-

public interest and comment, was inserted

When asked by newspaper representa-
tive if there was any special reason for
publishing such an advertisement at this
time, Mr.. Coward replied that there was.
and related the following incident as
showing the necessity for Protecting the
great shoe industry Of America against
poorly paid and cheaply made foreign
competition:
A few months ago noticed Japanese 10

shoes, and selecting different styles with httie

that he used American machinery.

woman standing in an upright posi-

skeleton was twelve feet under
ground. where it had apparently been
for many years. None of the officials
of Montague township can remember
any murder or mystery which may
give a clue to the finding. A large
stone over the head of the skeleton
leads the police to believe that they
will have to deal with a new murder
