Alderman Veil said complaints had been received as to the high steps persons are compelled to take to board trains at the union station, and that steps ol coaches ought either to be widened or platforms riased so as to do away with this inconvenience.
 Referring to the gas investigation, Alderman Sorrells said that great difference had been found in the re- ceipts of the gas company for the months of December and January. He said that the receipts for Decem- Der last were approximately $7,600, while those for January, the following month, were approximately $10.400. He said that while great difference existed, no knowledge of the real cause had been decided upon. It was

WOULD SEPARATE
 MORTUARY DATA So That Report Will Show Number of White Deaths Separately from Blacks. FREE PHYSICIAN. Necessary Repairs Will Be Made at Fire Station No. and
 Horses Secured.
FREE PHYSICIAN.

Lining up with the advance guard 1 of cities of the south which are seeking to have the country below l the Mason and Dixon line placed ill a right light in regard to health con- ditions, something denied by present system of government reports, the City Council last night went on re- cord as favoring a change. Repre- sentatives and senators in the nation al law making body will be called upon to have revision of the gov ernment mortuary records, so that white deaths will be recorded sepa- rately from fIio black
 It is conte.ldeC that there are two deaths of the colored population to one of white in the southern states, and that the grouping indiscriminate- ly of white and black deaths, gives out false impression that the south ern states are unhealthy, when ill reality they are more healthy than many of the northern states.
 A letter from the Shreveport w A. Lee and this detailed the situ- ation, and asked that this city add it. self to the list of those favoring the south being placed in the right light
 Alderman w. B. Sorrells introduced a resolution, based on the statements and provisions of the Shreveport let ter, that the Council vote for mem- bers of Congress to work for a change ill the system of government reports. This was passed unanimous ly. It is contended if the United States government mortuary statist- ics are divided, so that white deaths are recorded separately from black, that this country will be shown very health! indeed and broadcast mis- taken idea as to conditions will be re- moved.
 Pine Bluffs action, with that of other cities, will have the weight of having other southern cities to take like action, it is believed.
 Tender Free Services.
 Owing to the state of the city fi- nances for the time being, Dr. w. T. Lowe, city health officer, sent com- munication to the Council that through the year he would tender his services free of charge, and like tender was made by Dr. Campbell, veterinary surgeon, in caring for city stock. The council accepted these generous offers of service with vote of thanks, on motion by Alderman J. Frank Franey.
 Alderman Sorrells said that traffic conditions at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street were in bad way owing to so much cotton being placed on the streets, and said that it was hard at times to find passageway. Mayor Bloom ordered the matter re- ferred to the chief of police for him to investigate and remedy.
 Alderman Veil reported that there was need of a helper to assist City Engineer Allen. The Council, on mo- tion, voted for him to employ a helper to be paid $6O per month in scrip.

President Wilson for the first time since his policy of watchful waiting was announced. says armed intervention now depends on Great Britain's demands.
 Suppressed excitement in the House like just before the war with Spain.
 London-Reports that Great Britain demands reparation for William $. BentOn's murder di- rectly from Gen. Villa.
 Chilluahua--Villa now admits that Gustave Bauch. German. American, is dead. He says Bauch was "dOubtlesS asSasSinated by enemieS."
 Fl Paso-I7nited States Consul Letcher is informed Benton made no threats against Villa, but on the other hand, was sick.

, ing note of recent date, telling him that this country will not temper his wounded dignity.
 Thrd.-The expedition will start in a day or so from Juarez carrying American and British representatives to examine the body of Benton.
 Fourth-Two demands have been made on Carranza to tell of the whereabouts of the German-American citizen, Gustave Bauch.
 Fifth.-The Presidents faith in | Carranzas party has been shaken be- cause of his refusal to permit the United States to investigate the Ben ton killing.
 Paramount in the days develop ments is the Presidents new attitude. His position has been construed as an abandonment of his policy of "watchful waiting" While on the other hand he has stated he would not let this country be stampeded toward intervention, he has seen to it that the army is in readiness to act swift ly and with effect.
 War Bloody and Costly.
 The reasons for maintaining inac- tivity on top of all the atrocities per petrated in Mexico, have been attrib- uted to humanitarian motives. With | the President intervention and war are synonymous terms. He has been all along afraid of a bloody and cost ly war.
 President Wilson has been guided to large extent by the counsel of his secretary of state, an ardent ad- vocate of peace The conferences at l the State Department, where the lat est details of the Mexican situation have been revealed, absorbed the Presidents acute interest. He has been made aware of the gravity of the crisis and today for the first time he publicly admitted what he knew. The answer to Carranza's note is said 1 to have been actuted by President l Wilson. Demands at the State De- partment as to whereabouts of | Americans now in Mexico have has tened action, especially is this so in the case of Gustave Bauch. Some news of Bauch must be ascertained soon.
 The State Department after the con- ference today between John Bassett Moree to the Ambassador to Spain and the British Ambassador issued its ultimatum.
 In the event that Carranza and Will la defy the United States by refusing to account for Bauch and other miss ing citizens of this country, England and Spain, the only thing to do it to fight, say high officials here. While the Constitutionalists are parleying with the dignity of the United States Huerta has assumed a different atti- tude. Today he ordered Charge d'Af- fairs of the Mexican embassy to place before Secretary Bryan his latest pro- posal. He wants the embargo on mu- nitions of war recently lifted by President Wilson, restored.

Washington, March 2.-The opinion prevails in Washington today that President Wilson has taken his last stand against intervention in Mexico.
 To callers at the White House to- day he intimated that 'Carranza. Villa and Huerta would be dealt with more sternly from now on. He said his policy was not irrevocably opposed to intervention.
 For the first time the president made no effort while talking with newspaper correspondents to mini mize the seriousness of the situation. He made it plain that he is now only considering the terrible tolls which would have to be paid in the event of war.
 Out of the several conferences be- tween representatives of the White House, the State Dpartment and the interested European embassies, these facts developed:
 First.-England and Spain jointly agree that the United States must be responsible for the lives and proper tv of their citizens, and force repar- alton for the wrongs already commits ted. Other European countries are expected to assume a like attitude.
 Second.-The State Department sent an answer to Carranza's insult

Modern Conditions Make Il Practically
Thing Of tho Past.
We do not propose either 70 affirm or
to deny that the bakers make better
bread than mother used to make"
There used to be as many kinds Of
mothers as there are now varieties Of
bakers. And comparisons are odious.
But the baker Is to be hailed as one
Of the chief benefactors Of the age, on
grounds which take no account of the
relative merits OF bread. He has eman-
cipated women, at least one day out
OF the week. He has given q vast
army Of mothers more time to perform
the duties other than those which have
to do with the kitchen.
1t needs no patriarch to remember
what baking day used to be like. In
summers heat the stove had to be fred
up to the melting point, and mother
had to knead the dough until her back
ached, and stick around in the kitchen
lest the crust become too hard, and
watch against a hundred other mis-
chances which are TO be expected when
the heat releases the chemical action
Of the Ingredients In the bread pan.
Baking day is a thing Of the past
in thousands Of homes-at least, the
old fashioned baking day is. The bread
may be better or worse, but the baker

that he has practically put an end to

What Saved the Home.
In the American Magazine a man
who has had twenty-five years matr1-
monial experience says that he and his
wife were growing farther apart and
constantly quarreling. The family
would have been wrecked had it not
been for two things, which he describes
as follows:
First was the baby-a healthy,
charming chld-tO whom we were In
tensely devoted For months the baby
was about the only subject we could
agree upon. The other safeguard was
our sense of humor. i have since
thought that no two persons should
marry unless one or the other has a
sense of humor. With Us the sense Of
humor usually came to the rescue at
the most trying times. One or the 9TH
er Of US would be struck with the lu-
dicrous feature Of our quarrel and
laugh, and pretty soon we made up"

Broadway Jones'

Geo. NJ. Cohan's great American
play, broadway JONES' which is
to be presented here at the Audi
torium Wednesday, Sept. 8, is a
story of New York's Great White
Way, told in Cohanesque way,
that has won continuous favor and
provided endless laughter for Mr..
Cohan's following.
Like all Cohan plays, whether
comedy, melo-drama, musical come
DIV or farce, broadway Jones has
been provided with punch, that
indefinable and very elusive force
that attracts theatre-goers, and
which causes a play which contains
it to be talked about, and this,
perhaps, is the reason for Mr..
Cohan's success as a playwright. He
knows how to plant the punch.
The punch in broadway Jones"
is delivered in the first act, which
opens on an absolutely dark stage.
The time is five O'Clock in the
morning, and the hero of the play
is lust arriving home. accompanied
by a party of boon COMPREHENSIVE
bid him a noisy goodbye as he
enters. The curtain falls for
brief moment on this scene and the
action of the play is taken up by
"Broadway's' best friend, who has
learned through the morning pa
pers that Jones has become engag-
ed to a wealthy widow, old enough
to be his mother.
Pressed for a reason for this un-
eonventicnality, Broadway" con-
fesses that he has run through his
fortune and into debt to the extent
of fifty thousand dollars, and that
his engagement to the elderly lady
was the only way out of the di-
lemma.
The friend eNpostulates to no
purpose, but the unexpected arrival
of telegram, announcing the death
of his uncle, and the news that he
has made broadway hisheir, chan
ges the situation materially. This
new windfall makes the erstwhile
white Light devotee the owner
of a big manufacturing plant in his
native town, where he goes, and is
followed by the representative OF
a rival concern, who desires to buy
the plant. They offer young Jones
a million and a half of dollars for
the trade mark and goodwill, and
he is disposed to accept, when the
confidential adviser of his late I'M
Gle, and bookkeeper for the Jones
plant, a girl, persuades him not to
sell, but to take an active Interest
in the newly acquired business. This
in brief, is the story OF rBroadway
JONES'" but in it's play form ssBroad-
ways" life in New York and his
rehabilitation in the quiet town of
his birth, is presented in char
acteristically Cohan way, and play
ed with the sure touch and rapid
| ty noticeable in all Cohan pen
products.-Adv.
