BETTER OUTLOOK
STOCKS PICK UP
Optimistic Spirit Puts New Life
Into the Market at New
York City

New York, Hay 1S.-There was a
broad inquiry for stocks today and the
market advanced materially above the
level reached on last weeks rise. 1t
became increasingly apparent that
Wall Street was seeing visions of bet
ter conditions. In January similar
conditions existed, and there was a
spirited advance, but confident eXpec-
tations then entertained a revival of
business were disappointed.
Prospects for bumper crops consti-
tute perhaps the most tangible basis
for optimism. So far as actual I'M
provement in business conditions goes,
there IS as yet little to be pointed out
as Justifying expectations Of an early
business revival, but reports of trade
authorities are hopeful.
Gossip ofsthe street today dealt
CHIEFLY with the prospects of a speedy
aeclsion in the rates case and the
further reports from Washington con-
cernlng the outlook for adjusting the
Mexican problem through mediation
Inc hrm tone of the foreign markets
also was favoring influence. Gable
adVlces were optimistic and London

MONDAYS ACTION

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 1S.-Act
ing on the suggestion of Judge N, E
Harris, of Georgia, the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopa
Church, South, today reconsidered its
action of Saturday, which virtually
severed relations between Vanderbilt
University and the Church, as a whole
and directed a re-draft of the commit,
tee report. This redraft provides fol
point action by commissioners to. be
named by the general conference anG
by the original patronizing conference.
es in the renewal Of litigation in an eff,
fort to establish rights which the
church claims in the control of the
university. .. ....
Under a recent ruling of the Tenn.
essee supreme court the university
was removed from the direct jurisdic-
ton of the general conference Of tie
church. Action will now be taken
in state or federal courts; in behalf
Of the patronizing conferences; which
it is pointed out, may have legal
claims despite the courts ruling.
AS adopted Saturday the committee
report ordered that whatever rights
the Church might retain in the uni
versity be transferred to the confer
ences which weer the donors of the
university to the general conference
and provided for the establishment OF
another school as the representative
educational institution Of the Church.
The recommendation which the
conference today directed the commit
tee to incorporate in an amended re-
port instructs the board of education
to continue to exercise authority over
the university in the selection of trus-
tees and "to safeguard to the utmost
the interests of the Church." until
such time "as the transfer to the pa
tronizing conferences is complete"
, A commission, named by the general
conference, is charged to act jointly
with commissioners to be named by
the patronizing conferences, In estab-
fishing the latter in control Of the un-
iversity, "and in the legal procedure
necessary to enforce the same and to
act for and in behalf Of the patroniz-
ing. conferences In, the assertion of
rights to Vanderbilt University"
The vote today ordering the revision
was practically unanimous.
The conference today also approved
the report of the committee on edu-
cation which endorsed the work of the
general board for the quadrennium
and ratified the plan for the creation
of an endowment fund. 1t was sug-
gested in the report that s500,OO0 be
raised during the next quadrennium.
The question of laity rights for wom-
en- was made the special order for to-

Washington, May 1S-President
Wilson today told the American COM
missioners who left last night for the
mediation conference at Niagara Falls,
Ontario, that the United States gov
ernment regards the settlement of the
Mexican problem in definite form as
a prerequisite to the withdrawal OF
the American forces from Vera Cruz.
No Halters For Americans.
The president gave the American
commissioners-Jus Lamar of the
supreme court of the United States |;
Frederick Lehman, former solicitor
general and diplomatic secretary, H.
Percival Dodge-no specific instruc-
tions. He told them to, place them
to place themselves in a receptive
mood and await proposals from the
three South American mediators.
Huerta Elimination Next.
But at the same time he outlined to
his representatives that peace in Mex
leo seemed to him to be conditioned on
the elimination of the Huerta admin
stration, and the establishment in its
place Of provisional government
which would conduct an election
giving fair treatment to all factions
over, a solution of the agrarian prob
over, a solution Of the agraian prob
lem and other international difficult
ties which have bred revolution in
the southern republic during the last
three years.
The president wishes the Mexican
question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata
in the south, as we'll as Carranza in
the north, have been fighting and at
the same time will conserve the right
full interests of the people in the terri
tory now controlled by the Huerta
government.

PROPER CULTIVATION
Young Corn and Cotton Should BE
Narrowed Thoroughly.

Washington, D. c., May 1S.-The
beneficial effects Of well prepared
seed bed and the use of good seed
may be wholly or partially offset by
improper or insufficient cultivation.
is the advice of the crop specialist of
the department of agriculture.
Proper cultivation is an important
factor in crop production. Cultiva-
tion should begin Immediately after
planting by running once or twice
across the rows with a weeder or Sec
ton harrow. After the plants come
up at least two additional cUltiva-
tions should be given with either the
weeder or the harrow in The case nf
either corn or cotton before the reg
uiar cultivators are used. Run dag
onally across the rows with either Of
these implements, using the section
harrow with the teeth slaHted back
wards with an angle Of 40 degrees
and repeat a week later at right an
gies with the first cultivation.
The use Of the weeder or section
harrow is strongly advised for early
cultivation oi ccrn, cotton ami many
other crops. 1. is best 10 use the
weeder on very loose or sandy soils
This early cultivation with the weed
er or harrow destroys all young grass
Or weeds and leaves the so'l in fire

great advantages in its use in ad-
dition to the excellent work done, is
the extra amount of land that can be
cultivated in a given time.

of the American government would be
exercised to make it succeed.

talk of compromise arrangement by
which Huerta would retire in favor

methods used in obtaining evidence

motion for a new trial for Leo M

by Superior Judge Benjamin H. Hill

jury. - e.. .'.
The course followed by certain de-

perintendent under sentence ofsdeath
for the murder of Mary Phagan, the
fourteen-year-old factory girl, were
severely criticised by Judge Hill. He
characterized the work of these IA
nous "slueths" as "an obstruction to
the administration Of justice" "
81 doubt the wisdom Of allowing de-
tectives from another state, whether
they be noted, famous or Infamous to
come here and criticise ou officers

for such men-men who come, posing
as seeking the truth when they are
only seeking ,notoriety and money
said the Judge. y., ~
The court told the jury that various
witnesses in the case had repudiated
the testimony given by them at the
trial of Frank and that some, later had
made couner regulations. tInvestiga-
tion into the charges of bribery and
frauds that were made in connection
with these statements was asked!

postponed by Judge, Hill until ::Satur-

who intend to capitulate will raise
the question and make a pretense OF
justifying their action on defen ,ible
grounds before acceding to the presi-

Senator Sutherland said he intend

he was in favor of arbitrating the dis
pute because of the difference Of on.

Sutherland that the question should be
submitted to arbitration and declared
he would like to vote for a resolution
to submit the matter to an interna:

"If this spirit Of submitting this
matter to arbitration had been shown
before" said Senator Williams, "anG
if the contrary spirit had not beer
voiced here this question in its pres.

to show their faith by their works"
