Sufragists BY Thousands
Bear Petitions to COnOrea,

Washington, D. C.-Several thous.
and women from practically every
state in the Union and representing
millions of their sisters, paraded along
Pennsylvania avenue from the White
House to the Capitol, and, presenting
to members of congress petitions
adopted at meetings all over the coun-
try week ago, made plain their de-
sire that the right to vote be given
them.
Five hundred and thirty-one of the
marchers carried these petitions, one
for each member of the senate and
house, and asking the adoption of the
Bristow-Mondell resolution, amending
the constitution so as to enfranchise
women.
The scene after the pageant reached
the East steps of the Capitol was i'm
pressiye. Massing themselves on the
plaza steps, and with several bands
and chorus of 100 girls at the
entrance to the building, the enthusi-
astic paraders sang THE March of the
Women" by DR.. Ethel Smyth, of Eng
land, and heard only once before in
this country. The spectacular feature
of the demonstration was witnessed by
thousands of persons who filled the i'm
mense plaza.
The bands then struck up ''The Star
Spangled Banner, and the 531 petit
tion-bearers filed up the steps into the
rotunda of the Capitol, where a spe-
cial committee of congress received
them. In the line were Senators La
Toilette, Thomas, Thompson, Owen,
Bristow, Poindexter and Brady, and
Representative Madden, SABBATH, Fall
coner, Stone, Knowland, Raker, Moss,
of West Virginia, Roberts, of Nevada,
delivering, Heating and Bryan, who
shook hands with each of their callers.
Many of the women then entered the
galleries of the senate and house and
watched the proceedings.
Crowds assembled along the line of
march early and suffrage colors were
much in evidence. The police, desir-
ing to avoid scenes such as marred the
demonstration the day before the in
auguration of President Wilson, last
year, roped off Pennsylvania avenue
and kept the crowds orderly. Several
hundred policemen walked beside the
paraders.

Care of Dry COlUs.

During the eight or ten weeks when
the cows are dry their feed should be
chiefly roughage, according to the Ore
gon Agricultural college Dairy depart

may be fed two pounds of bran or two
of oats daily. Two parts OF eacn 20
one of oil meal is another suitable
feed. Roots, cabbage, or pumpkins
are also recommended. Dry coarse

stalks. are not good, and together with
cold water, cold draughts and lying on

Profits In Fruit
Depend on Handling

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
allis-"Adversity and disappointment
have taught the farmer many things,
one of which is that he must master
the conditions of his market either by
himself or through his direct repre-
sentatives. In times past the watch
word of the grower has been produc-
ton. He has striven to produce the
largest quantity of marketable fruit
possible, and has left the selling of
this fruit to Ais local dealer or the city
commission man. Not knowing the
real needs of his market he has many
times suffered at the hands of un-
scrupulous dealers. Often he has seen
his profits disappear like dew before
the morning sum-
The truth Of the foregoing state
ment, together with directions for
avoiding these mistakes in the future,
are brought out in Bulletin No. 118,
prepared by Professor C. 1. Lewis,
head of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege Horticultural department. "Some
of the growers important problems
are standardizing his pack, efficient
advertising of his goods, wider dis
tribution and greater consumption of
fruit, and organization and co-opera-
tion with his fellow growers for the
common good. To help him solve these
problems is the object of this bull
letin."
In order to help the grower reach
the market with his fruit in the best
and most attractive condition, the SUBJ
jects of picking, grading, cleaning,
packing, storing, shipping and. mar
keting are described in detail. The
Importance of the operations and
methods of handling them economically
and effectively with description and
illustration of equipment and material
are presented in an interesting and
easily followed manner. Measures and
packages of various commercial fruits
Of Oregon and other leading fruit
states are given in tabulated form.
The number of Individual fruits in the
different sized packs in the varying
arrangements is also shown in a table.
Photographs of straight and diagonal
packs of fruit are shown. Also pack
ing houses, mechanical graders and
box presses.
The kinds of fruit for which hand
ling operations are given are pear,
peach, plum, cherry, ounce, berries,
and grapes.

GrOUing CLOUer Seed
Maintains Fertility

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-''The raising of clover seed is
not only much more profitable, ordi-
narily, than growing clover hay, but is
very much better from the fertility
standpoint" This is the answer of
Professor Scudder, agronomist of the
college, to large number of farmers
who would like to grow clover seed
but Thought that it was awfully hard
on the soil.
The inquiries arose over statement
in the Country Gentleman to the effect
that clover hay removes about So. so
worth of soil fertility with each ton,
and that clover seed removes but about
35 cents worth. It has often been
pointed out by the Agronomy depart
ment that while the actual value OF
the nitrogen phosphorus and potassium
in ton of clover hay is about $1,000,
SO of this amount is nitrogen which is
half taken from the air, but which IS
needed to maintain soil fertility.
When the hay is sold, this value leaves
the field. When fed on the ground, 80
per cent of it is returned to the soil.
If the clover seed is taken from a
ton of clover, but IS cents worth OF
these plant foods are taken out. Ii
the straw is then burned the value is
mostly destroyed, but if the straw is
returned to the field and disked in, the
value is retained and humus added to
| the soil.
Therefore proceed with your seed
growing" says Professor Scudder;
ssthe more the better. As long as you
do not destroy the straw, it is one OF
the best crops you can grow"

REBEL FORCES
TAKE TAMPICO
Federal Army Escapes by Rail
Toward Mexico City.
Gunboats Take Refuge Under Fore.
ign Guns-Rebels AUer Re-
treat Of Garrison Cut on.

Washington, D. C.-Tampico, the
Mexican East Coast seaport, second in
Importance only to Vera Cruz, was
stormed and captured by the constitu-
tionalists Thursday. The federal gar
rison of several thousand men, after
withdrawing a three-day lombard
merit, was driven out of the city and
were reported to have retreated by
rail toward San Luis Potsss;, hoping to
effect junction with line reaching
into Mexico City.
Constituencies at Juarez, how
ever, said that this road was held by
their troops under General Eulatio
Gutierrez; that they also held the rail-
road to Monterey, and that the federal
forces only retreat lay in an overland
march across swamplands.
French ordnance captured by Cen
eral Francisco Villa at Torreon is be-
lieved to have made possible the
speedy taking of Tampico. General
Pablo Gonzales, commanding the con-
stitutionalists there, began heavy
bombardment May 10, and kept it up
until late Wednesday, according to ad-
vices received by the Navy depart
ment from Rear Admiral Henry T.
Mayo, off Tampico.
At midnight the cannonading was
resumed, and it continued until the
constitutionalists fought their way
clear into the plaza shortly after noon
Thursday. The perfection of the
French shrapnel did in few days for
Gonzales what Villa, with homemade
bombs, required weeks to accomplish
before Torreon.
Advices at the Navy department
were that the federals fought every
inch of the way before giving up the
city, but it is considered possible that
some of this fighting may have been in
the nature Of rear-guard action, hold
ing the constitutionalists at bay while
the garrison entrained.
When the city was hopelessly lost,
the federal gunboats Bravo and lara
goza, which had shelled the constitu-
tionalist lines without effect, fled from
their positions in the Panuco river and
took shelter under the guns of foreign
warships lying in the harbor.
Constitutionalist leaders were elated
over the capture of the town, which
gives them possible access to munitions
Of war. They also asserted that work
in the oil fields might now be resumed
with full protection.
This declaration followed a state
ment from Secretary Daniels that he
would not use the navy for police
force to guard the Tampico oil fields.
The taking of Tampico, the port
next in Importance to Vera Cruz,
raises many interesting questions, as
the constitutionalists have hitherto
held no seacoast towns. 1t is possible
that the federal gunboats outside the
harbor may seek to prevent arms and
supplies from landing at Tampico, but
such interference with international
shipping might not be tolerated by the
big foreign ships lying there, and COM
plications are possible.
As there is an embargo on the ex-
portation of arms into Mexico from
the United States, ammunition could
be shipped. only from foreign ports and
hitherto there has been no interference
by General Huerta with foreign COM
merce other than that with the United

DR.. John w. Butler Speaks from
Frst-hand knowledge of
Mexican Situation

A new aspect on the Mexican situa-
ton is furnished in the account of an
address recently delivered at Wesley
an University, Conn, by DR.. John W.
Butler, superintendent of the Metho-
dist Mission at Mexico City. DR.. But
Ter. speaking from first-hand knowl-
edge of conditions in the troubled re-
public, is reported in the Wesleyan
Argus as saying,
over 80 per cent of the people are
illiterate and consequently there Is a
poor chance for democracy. The peo-
pie cannot judge who the best candi-
date is, but will vote as INSCRIPTIONS
politicians induce them. Madero had
made many rash promises to secure
his election, and when it was found
that he was not keeping his promises,
he was overthrow His downfall is
also attributed to the .squandering of
public funds by his relatives, whom
he had put in office, and to the
Church, party, which had previously
used him to Gust Diaz."
After discussing the revolution
which overthrow Madero, he said:
ut is doubtful IL President Wilson
has been correctly informed concern
ing the situation. Contrary to the
general belief, IL has now been ascer-
tanned that General Huerta, who be-
came provisional president. did not
murder Madero, but that the latter

PUBLIC HEARING
ON TRAFFIC Law
SETFOR TONIGHT

4 To listen to any objections which
may be offered against the proposed
new traffic ordinance, and to hear any
suggestions to be made touching 1t,
the board of supervisors will meet this
evening for a public hearing on the
traffic measure which has just been
completed by p. L. Weaver, first dep
uty city and county attorney.
Several points have already been
raised as objections to the proposed
ordinance. A few automobilists con-
tend that the restrictions and regu-
lations are too drastic. This, how.
ever, is not conceded by the super.
yisors who seem to be heartily in ac-
cord with its provisions and are ex.
pected to defend 1t against any OBJ
jections.
This ordinance, with two others re-
lated, one which will be introduced
later, has been prepared by Mr.. Wea-
yer after much diligent study of meas
ures covering similar subject In
other cities.
The meeting will be held in the
chamber of the supervisors. It will
begin at 7::30 o'clock.

TRAGEDYBY AMERICAN CHURCHMAN

while escaping from an automobile
which had been held up by his

. DIR. Butler explained each of the
small revolutions now in progress and
showed that Hnerta was without
doubt the only man strong enough TO
handle the situation. In taking up
the policy of our government in re-
gard to Mexico, he said: The best
policy, il seems to me, would be one
such as President Hayes adopted at
the time when Diaz overthrow the
government. Diaz was given rroyis-
ional recognition with the promise of
permanent recognition if he pacified
the country. This appears to be the
best plan for the present administra-
ton. 1t might also be suggested that
our government invite three nations
from South America and three Euro
pean powers to join in a conference
with the United States to present to
Huerta a definite ultimatum. This
would obyiate the ill-feeling which in
PREVENTION by US alone would cause.
Armed intervention would be dis
astrous, for all the feeling of ~
would be aroused, and the Mexican
people would unite against us. 1t
would be very difficult for us to in
wade and conquer Mexico because of
the peculiar typographical features of
the country. !. - a~
Mexico has brilliant future before
her. There will be great CONNER

ade, but the people need education.

One of Yyonne de TreyiIle's most
valued possessions is the Order of Be.
nenlerito, presented to the American
prima donna by King Carol of Rou-
mania, ut the request of Queen Eliz-
abeth, better known as Carmen Sylvia.
This is. a decoration of the first class
and is usually presented to native
officers, as a reward for deeds of Yalor.
The medal Is OF gold, with a portrait
of the king on one side. while the
other side is mounted with the In
scription.
Miss de Treville has sung often for
Carmen Sylvia, and Is held in high
esteem in the court circles of Rou-
mania, as she is in court circles OF
other European countries. This is not
surprising, since the celebrated color
atura soprano passed u years abroad,
singing at the Imperial opera at st.
Petersburg, the Imperial opera in vi
emma, the Opera Comique in Paris, and
the Theater Royal de la Monnaie, in
Brussels.
