American flag, this was not accepted
by President Huerta.
Then the American government
determined that pourparlers be
brought to an end by the final decis-
ion of President Huerta within a
term which expired at o'clock Sun
day night, announcing that if by
that time had not agreed to the
salute of the American flag as re-
quested, that the affair would be
presented to the American Congress
for decision.
The Mexican government be-
lieving that the salute in question
was of no Importance unless prev
iously and formally agreed upon by
both parties, proposed the signing of
a portocol and the minister of for
eign affairs presented last night a
draft of such portocol to the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, Nelson o.
Shaughnessy.
.'O'Shaughnessy answered that he
must consult his government; that he
would advise the minister of foreign
affairs of the nature of this answer.
and this afternoon he communicated
to the minister the fact that his gov
ernment did not accept the idea of a
signature of any portocol whatever,
but wanted unconditional salute of
the American flag.
This the Mexican government re-
fused, feeling it had done all possi-
Bile, in view of the friendly under
standing between the two govern
ments. and believing the acceptance
of such an imposition would be
equivalent to yielding by Mexico
to humiliation. The Mexican gov
ernment is confident that the civiliz-
ed world will find it's conduct has
/ been wise and temperate, that it has
observed all the requirements of in
ternational law, and that the refusal
to yield further is inspired only by
a regard for its honor and dignity y

Washington, April 21-Fo1lowing
Congress by President Wilson yester-
day afternoon:
Gentlemen or the Congress:
1T is my duty to call your atten-
ton to situation which has arisen
in our dealings with General Victo-
riano Huerta at Mexico City which
calls for action, and to ask your ad-
vice and cooperation in acting up
on it, On the 9th of April a paymas-
ter Of the U. S. S. Dolphin landed
at Tampico with whaleboat and
boats crew to take off certain sup
plies needed by his ship, and while
engaged in loading the boat was ar
rested by an officer and squad of men
of the army OF General Huerta.
Neither the paymaster nor any one
of the boats crew was armed. Two
of the men were in the boat when the
leave it and submit to be taken in
to custody, Notwithstanding the fact
that the boat carried, both at her bow
and at her stern, the flag of the
United States. The officer who made
the arrest was proceeding up one Of
the streets of the town with his pris-
oners when met by an officer OF
higher authority, who ordered him
to return TO the landing and await
orders; and within an hour and a
half from the time OF the arrest or
ders We're received from the COM
mander of the Huertista forces at
Tampico for the release OF the pay
master and his men. The release
was followed by apologies from the
commander and later by an express
sion Of regret by General Huerta
himself. General Huerta urged that
martial law obtained at the time at
Tampico, that orders had been is
sued that no one should be allowed

KANSAS SENATOR
AMONG THE CRITICS

Washington, April 21.-'sWhen
President Wilson comes to Congress
asking for the use of the armed
forces of the United States to COM
pei Huerta to apologize he will not
receive my vote" said Senator Bris-
tow, of Kansas, yesterday. IF he
asks for authority to put down in
or establish stable gov
eminent in Mexico more serious
question for consideration will arise
This thing of making war upon the
Mexican people merely because q
man the president calls bandit re-
fuses to apologize is idiotic."

SUPREME COURT
SUSTAINED STATE
Upheld the Right Of tho Common-
wealth 10 Tax and Regulate

Washington. D. c.. April 21.-
The right of the state to regulate
insurance rates was settled yester-
day by the supreme court upholding
as constitutional the Kansas fre In
surance law of 1909. Chief Justice
White and Justices vandevanter and
Lamar dissented.. claiming that In
surance was a private contract with
which the state had no right to i'm
terfere.
Justice Lamar declared that the
decision upheld the principle that
the state had the right to fx the
price of every article on the mar
kets.
b0stice McKenna, for the majority
of the court, declared insurance had
become so clothed with a public in
terest as to distinguish insurance
from an ordinary business and to
classify it wit hthe business Of run
ming a hotel or railroad.

FORTY THOUSAND FEDERALs
Scattered Over Mexico, Available
Force Against United
States

washington. April 21.-Figures
available at the war department to-
day placed federal forces in Mexico
at about 10000, scattered through
out the country. According to these
figures there are 5000 troops In
Mexico City, 400 in Vera Cruz,
about 5000 around Saltillo, south of
Torreon, and the larger part of the
remainder are in cities and towns
near the coasts.

to land at the Iturbide bridge; and
that our sailors had no right to
land there. Our naval commanders
at the port had not been notified of
any such prohibition; and, even if
they had been, the only justifiable
course open to the local authorities
would have been to request the pay
master and his crew to withdraw and
lodge protest with the command
ing officer of the fleet. Admiral
Mayo regarded the arrest as so SER
ious an affront that he was not sat
isfied with the apologies offered but
demanded that the flag OF the United
States be saluted with special cere-
mony by the military commander Of
the port.
Not Trivial Incident
The incident cannot be regarded
as trivial one, especially as two of
the men arrested were taken from
the boat itself-that is to say, from
the territory of the United States;
but had it stood by itsel., it might
have been attributed to the igno-
rance or arrogance of a single Of
ticer. Unfortunately, it was not an
isolated case. A series of incidents
have recently occurred which can
not but create the impression that
the Representatives OF General Huer-
Ia were willing TO go out OF their
way to show disregard for the dig
nifty and rights Of this government
and felt perfectly safe in doing what
they pleased, making free to show in
many ways their irritation and con-
tempt. A few days after the inci-
dent at Tampico an orderly from the
U. S. Minnesota was arrested at
Vera Cruz while ashore in uniform
to obtain the ships mail and was

Last Moment
SUNSET SUNDAY EVENING CHOSEN HUERTA PRESENT
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT


Washington, April 21-The fol-
lowing formal reply was handed to
Charge O'Chaunhnessy at exactly 6
o'clock Sunday evening. Huerta
displayed comparative indifference
to the crisis and passed several
hours of the evening listening to the
band in Chapultepec.
The Mexican Side of the Story
'fPortilloy Rojas, minister of for
eign affairs, in announcing that it
would be impossible to agree to the
demand of the United States that the
flag of that country be uncondition-
ally saluted, gave out the following
statement:
ION April 8, between II and noon
boat with an American flag and
with nine marines and one officer
landed at point called the Beach OF
Iturbide in Tampico. Coloner Ray
mond Hinojosa, who had charge OF
the troops defending that point, de-
tained the marines and officer and
conducted them to the presence OF
the general who had command OF
Fort Ignacio Morelos Zaragoza
1T should be remembered that at
that time the port was not only un-
der military control, but was with
standing an attack by the rebels.
General Zaragoza Immediately
and without even Investigating the
case put the marines and officers al
liberty, placed Hinojosa in prison
and sent an apology to Rear Admir-
al Mayo, commander of the Ameri-
can fleet.
Considered Incident Closed
I'VE thought the incident closed
but unfortunately this was not so be-
cause Mayo sent to him some time
afterwards an ultimatum wherein he
asked that second apology be pre-
sented to him by the staff of the
chief of the fort, General Zaragoza
that the American flag be hoisted al
a public place in Tampico and salut.
ed by twenty-one guns, and, besides
the severe punishment of Hinojossa
stipulating that all this be done
within twenty-four hours.
The term was later extended
when diplomatic pourparlers were
begun between the sub-secretary OF
foreign affairs in Mexico, the minis
ter being absent at that date, an6
continued until now.

There is an old and tenaciously held
theory that the negro has a greater re-
sistance to malaria than the white
man. Recent investigations by public
health service tend to throw doubt on
this belief.
Iii Alabama, during three-year
period, the number Of deaths from
great among colored persons as among
white. In Mississippi in 1918 2.3 times
as many negroes as whites died of this
group of diseases. Several thousand
blood examinations were made to test
the prevalence of malarial infection In
the general population. In Arkansas,
less than six per cent of the whites
examined had the malarial organism
in their blood, while &c per cent OF
the negroes were so afflicted In North
Carolina the germ was found in 7.5
per cent OF the whites and Ills per
cent OF the colored persons examined.
In spite of these statistics the old
opinion mry be correct. The inveeti.
CATION is still too incomplete to war
rant any sweeping conclusions. Ma.
laria IL rural disease, and the negro
is a country q 'eller. Hts environment
Is against hin In other ways. The
bulk of the population ~ the healthy
uplands of Mississippi is white, but
the negro clusters so thickly in the
fertile but malarial cotton lands Of the
Yazoo delta and other parts Of the
black belt" that the census of the
state shows 1,OO9,4s7 colored persons
to only 7S6,111 white.
The question can be settled only by
an exhaustive comparison of whites
and blacks living in the same environ
| ment, under the same conditions.
There is a strong probability that such
test would support the old belief that
the negro resists malaria better than
the. white man.

A study OF the situation In the Ne
gro Baptist churches of Chicago
strengthens the conviction that an
efficient and unifying organization is
really their greatest necessity. Their
disposition to organize and the special
bring this about. At present we
have improved upon the Methodist
churches. They have five different
conferences, but 1t must be said that
In spite Of this they cooperate in
friendly spirit
The Negro Baptists at the present
time have two associations. Any time
spent in efforts to explain the basis
of their doctrinal or personal differ
ences might better be used in trying
to secure a real basis of cooperation
for their mutual improvement and ad
rance. 1t seems that some organiza
tion of these churches on the basis of
the city work, to prevent overlapping,
to over assistance, TO plan future work
as necessity may require and not as
individual caprice may suggest is a
matter of real Importance.
This organized cooperation to in
crease the efficiency of all the
churches is natural step to be taken
in the processes of their growth and
may be looked for at any time. As
one examines the location and the &C.
tiyities of different Baptist churches,
and sees new churches started under
the very caves of some older one, be-
cause of doctrinal or personal differ.
ence, he is convinced that the weight
of influence of these who are trying
to make the churches more useful
should be set against this and in ia,
vor of that practical comfy for which
