The situation with respect to cotton, y
said Mr.. Roberts, lis the chief draw
back. With the market for cotton linn
tied and prices low, the South suffers
seriously and the effect is felt on the
entire country 1t is a national ques-
ton. instead of local one. and my
personal view is that we could have
well afforded to do something for the
cotton raisers.
The effects of the cotton situation, on
the other hand. are to considerable
extent counteracted by the fact that in
the North good prices are commanded
by wheat, corn. live stock. and other
products of the Northern farms.
This country may expect to be fairly
prosperous during the period of the war
IN Europe. We will not have good times
but on the other hand there need be
no apprehension Of a collapse. Capital
will be dear. and this will tend to pre-
vent the starting of new enterprises.
We cannot have really good times I'M
less money can readily be obtained for
new enterprises.
Little Investment Money.
Il do not expect to see money avail
able for the building of railroad i'm
provements and extensions and new
lines. do not expect to see new
business enterprises TO any consider
able extent started while the wal
lasts expect to see business in
many lines already established run
along about ss usual In certain di-
rections. it will be improved.
The European countries which are
at war will go on putting out one is
sue of securities after another. 1t is
a question how much of these they
can float without compelling holders
of American securities abroad to dis
pose of our securities. On the whole.

QUARANTINE URGED

Attorney Tells Charities Confer

the reproduction of their kind, F. 4.
Tcnning last evening suggested new
plan before the central conference Of
she Associated Charities at the New
Willard Hotel.
Quarantine. instead OF sterillza ton.
MIR. Fenning believes, would accomplish
7he desired effect. This quarantine also,
J., believes. would solve the moot
problem Of how homes for the feeble

Ihouch their mentalily may not be more

Mr.. Fenning is Washington at
torney who has taken deep interest
in the effort to procure home for
feeble minded children in the District.
He recently drew UP tentative bill TO
he introduced at the next session OF
congress, looking TO such an insutu-
lion.
I,resept plan Of sending our feeble
InlndeG patients 10 Nineland, \. j.. or
70 Flwood, Pa he said. The Dis
1rict mas no jurisdiction over these
institutions.
Quarantine Proposed.
The number of patients in available
outside institutions is limited, SO W
have to scatter our feeble minded,
making supervision even more difficult
The cost for such maintenance is eX-
cessive. And one of the most serious
defects in the present plan rs tnat
these inmates cannot 'easily be visited
6y relatives.
This last reason has resulted IN the
sending OF ten or twelve feeble minded
children to the Government Hospital
for the Insane, through the lnslstence
of relatives, who wished these children
near enough TO be visited: The Gov
ernment Hospital is primarily Tor
adults, and these feeble minded chill
dren are in a bad environment there
They also constitute an annoyance to
the adult insane confined there.
One of the chief problems. Nj: Fen
ming stated, lies in the jurisdiction
such a home would have over patients
who have reached twenty-one Years
but whose mentality Is that OF chlld.

is all the more dangerous to society

VILLA TAKES NEUTRAL STAND
Leader of ConstitutionaIsts Says He
Will Not Be Drawn Into
War With u. $.

Washington, April 25.--With the
attitude of Gen. Villa plainly stated,
although in some circles his sincerity
is questioned, hope was revived at the
White House today that the position
of this government that Huerta is the
sole object of operations in Mexico
at this time would be accepted by the
Mexican people, particularly the con-
stitutionalists, thus avoiding serious
complications and giving the United
States an opportunity to show it's pur-
pose of Furnishing Huerta and his sup
porters only.
In an interview with Consular Agent
Carothers, which has been forwarded
to the state department, Gen. Villa is
reported as expressing high regard for
Americans and having said that he
would not be drawn into a war with
this country and at the same time de-
nouncing Huerta. 1t is also under
stood that Carothers sent confidential
information that Villa and Carranza
do not view the seizure of Vera Cruz
in the same light.

u. S. CONSUL is IMPRISONED
Huerta's Soldiers Heap New lndig-

Torn Down.

Washington, D. c., April 26-Huerta
has accepted President Wilson's medi-
alton proposal, but his officers and
soldiers have heaped fresh insults on
the United States
By far the mosc serious of the many
outbreaks reported on Sunday was the
treatment to which United States Coz
sui General Phillip c. Hanna at Mon
terey was subjected by Huerta's sol
diers. The consul general reported
to Secretary Bryan Sunday night that
he had been Inundated; carried
through the streets as a prisoner and
placed in jail by Mexican federal Off
Gals on April p and left behind the
bars until released two days later by
the constitutionalists when they cap
tured the city. Flags were torn from
the United States consulate and other
buildings and trampled upon.

Admiral Fletcher Puts City Under

Ordered to Leave.

Vera Cruz, April 26-One thousand
refugees from Mexico City and vicin-
ity practically cut off from commune
cation with the coast.
More than thirty Americans at
tempting to leave the country were
taken from a train at Aguas Galleries
and imprisoned in a smelter.
officers of the American club in
Mexico City and officials of two banks
there were arrested, several Ameri-
can stores looted, the populace de-
manding death for the Americans, and
the cable to Vera Cruz cut.
Huerta's federal army under Gen.
Mas encamped less than sixteen
miles from this city, while the United
Safes land troops under Gen. Funston
can not reach here until some time
Monday afternoon.
These were the factors in a situa-
ton that led Rear Admiral Frank F.
Fletcher Sunday night to proclaim
martial law in Vera Cruz.
Soon after instructions from Rear
Admiral Badger, commander in chief
of the Atlantic fleet, to all American
noncombatants to leave Vera Cruz by
the steamer Mexico, were posted at
the consulate and other conspicuous
places

SAYS WAR DOES NOT EXIST
Plans for Calling Out of Militia Re-
serves Halted by Decree
of Cabinet.

Washington, April 25.--The cabinet
today formally adjudged that a Estate
of war does not exist. This, for the
time being, halts the calling out of
the militia reserves, although active
preparations for this action went on,
even as far as the selections of the
concentration camps.
Secretary of War Garrison stated
that the army will not invade Mexico
under present conditions. This does
not include Vera Cruz, to which troops
are now being carried on transports.
The administration draws the distinc-
ton that the taking of Vera Cruz is
not an invasion.
The troops along the Mexican Dor
der are expected only to return the fire
of Mexicans if they are fired upon.
The officer who sends his troops
across the border in pursuit of hostile
Mexicans will be in danger of court
martial under the present situation.
1t is understood that dissension has
arisen between the two secretaries
over conditions ON the Mexican Dor
der, where Secretary Garrison favors
more vigorous measures than those
wanted by the secretary of state. The
reports again revived the rumors that
Secretary Bryan will not much longer
remain as a member of President VIII
sons official family.

ed out which will be acceptable to
both sides, no one here seems to know.
Even the representatives of Argen
tina, Brazil and Chile admitted theiI
task was herculean. But they seemed
to believe that they would be more
successful in dealing with Huerta than
the United States has been.
War Plans Go On.
Meanwhile tie navy and war de-
partments are continuing their eff
forts to care for refugees and per-
fecting plans for any unexpected
turn in events. Secretary Daniels an.
nounced that he had telegraphed the
full text of the mediation offer and
it's acceptance by the United States
to both Rear Admirals Badger and
Howard with instructions to have the
commanders of all ships on the east
and west coasts spread the news
throughout Mexico.

WIRES HE WILL SUBMIT ISSUE
TO ENJOYS OF SOUTH AMER

POWERS OF EUROPE TO AID
Demands of President Wilson and
Huerta as Far Apart as Ever and
No Plans for ReconciIia-
ton Are Offered.

Washington, D. c., April 2S-For-
NAL acceptance by the Huerta govern
ment of the offer of Argentina, Brazil
and Chilli to use their good offices to
bring about an amicable settlement
of the difficulty between the United
States and Mexico was cabled to
Spanish Ambassador Riano here Mon
day night by Portillo y Rojas, foreign
minister in the Huerta cabinet.
Senior Rojas' note was transmitted
at once to the three South American
diplomats, who began a conference
which lasted far into the night dis
cussing the next move in their peace
plan.
Secretary Bryan, on the part of the
United States, having accepted the
offer of good offices when rendered
on Saturday, the first step now is COM
pleted and the way paved for actual
negotiations looking to peaceful
clearing up of the situation.
Neither Ambassador Riano nor the
peace evoys would make public the
text of the Huerta acceptance. 1t was
said, however, that Senior Rojas re-
piled briefly, accepting the offer and
thanking the South American pleni-
potentiaries and the Spanish ambas-
sador.
Big Powers of Europe Aid.
The tenseness of the Mexican stu
alton was relieved Monday as the rep
resentatives of Argentine, Brazil and
Chile supported by pressure from all
Latin-America and from the foremost
powers of Europe concentrated their
efforts toward a pacific adjustment of
the crisis.
The success of the first steps to-
ward mediation-the prompt accept
ance by the United States and the an
nouncement of the Spanish ambassa-
dor that Huerta had accepted the ten
der of good offfces-produced feel
ing of hope which was reflected not
only in administration quarters, but

WOMEN cUSS AND TWO
ENTIRE FAMILIES
LAND I'M COOLER

Two Spanish women were arrested
in Koloa for profanity. Ordinarily
ladies are not supposed to swear;
but it is claimed that these two cut
loose and made the air fairly blue
with bad words. And the only way
the police could stop the eruption
was to pack the irate DANES of to
the cooler
The account of the language used
by the women so shocked the court
that they were given $50 each and
costs.
But the trouble did not end there.
Each woman had two children, and
it developed that the fathers of the
children were not properly looking
out for them The police thereupon
rounded up the dads and brought
them into court One of the men dis.
claimed the children but there was
no trouble proving his identity and
he was given two months in Lihue
jail The other entered plea of
guilty and was given one month in
jail Garden Island.
