The yacht and motorboat races
during the exposition will interest
thousands. Both President Woodrow
Wilson and King George of England
have offered cups in the yacht races
for the prize yacht winning the
twelve-meter class.
Perhaps the most interesting of
the motorboat contests will be a
motorboat race for the cruiser tyne
over a distance Of approximately six
thousand miles. The motorboats will
start from New York in September,
1915, proceeding south along the At
lantic seaboard, thence through the
Panama canal and from that point
north along the Pacific seaboard to
the finishing line of the Panama

Among other important assem-
blages there will be the international
Council Of Nurses, to meet in San
Francisco during the latter part of
May next year. Five thousand
nurses from fifteen nations are ex-
pected to participate in this gather
ing; delegates from more than twen-
ty-five nations interested in grape
culture will attend the international
Congress of Viticulture, to be held in
June, 1915; the leading electrical ex-
perts of the world will meet in the
international Electrical congress in
September, while a Worlds Petro-
leum congress, the first ever held,
will meet in the fall of next year;
thirty-four American and three
European organizations concerned
with the marketing, production and
distribution of petroleum will take
part in this congress. The Interna-
tional Potato congress will deal with
the production and distribution and
marketing Of the potato. One of the
most interesting of the agricultural
conventions will be that of the Ma
tional Topnotch Farmers club, an
organization of corn growers, with
headquarters in Springfield, Illinois;
the club consists of corn growers
who have established a record in pro-
ducing at least one hundred bushels
of corn to the acre; the president Of
the organization is Mr.. w. L. Dunson
of Alexander City, Alabama, who
earned the presidency by growing
1927 bushels of corn on an acre of
ground. When this record is SUPER
ceded, the grower raising the most
corn on an acre will automatically
become president.
Plans are under way to assist the
delegates in gathering information
in the specialized lines in which they
are most interested. The American
Breeders association, for example,
has been invited to send a committee
of its members to San Francisco in
advance of the convention to list
everything OF greatest value at the

gates will assemble, have voted to
meet in San Francisco in 1915. 1t is
expected that fully 500 conventions
will have decided to meet in San
Francisco by the time the great cele-
bration opens. The delegates to
these assemblages will come from
every portion of the globe and lead
ers in art, science, industry and in
the teaching of ethical propaganda
will present in standardized form the
results of the worlds best effort in
recent years.
Construction upon the exposition
early broke all records in exposition
building, giving assurance to the
promise made by President Charles
C. Moore, more than two years ago,
that the exposition would swing open
its gates upon fully perfected spec
tacle. At this writing many of the
huge exhibit palaces are practically
eight months before the opening of
the exposition.
Preparations for the adornment of
the huge exhibit palaces and the
courts have kept pace with construc-
ton. The works of a number of
Americas most notable sculptors and
artists are now in evidence and bear
out the high promise for their beauty
and originality made early in the
history of the exposition. The land
scaping, which will be perfected to a
far greater extent than has been
possible at any former universal ex-
position, is far advanced. Hundreds
of thousands of rare shrubs and
trees, including five hundred giant
tree ferns from Australia, have
reached San Francisco to be set upon
the grounds.
Before the site, which faces north
on San Francisco harbor just inside
the Golden Gate, extending almost
three miles east and west, there has
been created a marvellous esplanade,
the Marina villa gardens). This is
q great broad stretch of lawn, dotted
with cypress and eucalyptus, more
than four hundred feet in width and
one mile in length. It forms the
frame Of the main northern facade
of the exhibit palaces along the
shores of San Francisco harbor, the
surprising frontage that will be first
seen by visitors who reach the ex-
position city by water and enter San
Francisco bay through the Golden
Gate. In the Marina, with its vast
Stretcn OF GROUNDS and terraces,
fountains will play and huge groups
of statuary be set at intervals. Here
during the exposition thousands will
gather by day to view the assembled
warships of the nations, the birdmen
of the world in mimic contests with
the warcraft, the motorboat races,
yacht races and all sorts of
aquatic sports. Aviators of fifteen
nations have already signified their
intention of entering the round-the-
world aeroplane race for which a
prize of $15O,OOO is offered to the
daring birdman who actually COM
pletes the circuit of the globe, while
lesser prizes will be awarded avi-
ators completing different legs of the
race.

TOMATO CROPS
WORRY FARMERS
Southern Crop Late and GIut

MUCH ACREAGE REPLANTED
Large Profits on Crop Come When
Produce Can Be Sold Early at So
and So a Basket-DeIayed Ship
ments Meet Competition.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.---Just what the tomato
crop situation will develop is a ques-
ton the State Board of Agriculture
and the average farmer face today.
In the first place, most of the acreage
Will have to be replanted. The wealth
er has been anything but favorable for
the plants that were set out, and those
IN the hotbeds are ~outgrowing their
quarters. Then comes the report
from the South that the crop there
will be late, on account of the cool
nights. and this will bring both crops
on the market at the same time. This
means that the prices must go down.
To Offset this. some farmers say that
the acreage North Is below the aver
age. Some farmers have not set out
q plant as yet, and they do not pro
pose to do so until better weather.
The large profits of a tomato crop
come when the produce is marketed
early. Then tomatoes sometimes
bring from 50 to So per basket. There
is good money in tomatoes at 81 per
basket; it is a paying crop at so
cents a basket, and a grower would
not go bankrupt at 25 cents. In many
instances big sales have resulted from
a 10 or Is cent price, but few growers
care to handle them at less figures.
In late years there has been a good de-
mand from the caneries after the fan
cy prices have fallen. The average
grower has been getting what is call
ed fair prices" for his later crops,
and tomatoes have furnished a large
share Of the farmers receipts for a
number of years.

phere of Women.

Whatever concerns the home is and
must remain of close appeal to women.
and particularly of progressive women.
The opponents of the feminist move
ment never weary of repeating the
well-worn dictum that the sphere of
woman is the home, but they fail to
perceive that homes are not separate
and isolated entities. They are the
foundation of the Christian state and
touch national and individual life at all
points and at all times. Women have
awakened to the fact hat the real
home can only be gained by reforming
and. indeed, ~re-creating, the social
agencies that are instrumental in
shaping its character. So that nothing
which affects the home can be foreign
to the sphere of woman. Hence the
natural and inevitable expansion of

been the main characteristic of this
century.-Woman's Century.

A B C PLAN is
A COMMISSION
Elimination of Huerta and Then
Temporary Government
ALL PARTIES IN PACT
carranza Followers Say They Will
Not consent-Bryan Explains
Tells ENJOYS Seizure of Light
Was Not a War Act.

Washington.-The elimination of
General Huerta and the establish
ment of a provisional government
in Mexico in which both the Huerta
and the Constitutionalist factions
would be represented is contemplate
ed in a plan which the three South
American mediators are now work
ing out to be proposed for the solu-
ton of the entire Mexican problem.
This was announced in Administra.
ton circles, though not officially, as
the answer of the A. B. G. peace en-
voys to Huerta's protest against the
seizure of Lobos Island and the restor-
alton of the light, which had been
darkened by orders of the dictator.
1t was learned that the proposal
might be that the setting up of a
temporary government be under
taken by a commission composed of
five persons, two of them to be named
by Huerta, two by the Constitution
alists and the fifth by the mediators.
Although the mediators have with
drawn their invitation to the Con-
stitutionalists to send delegates to
their conference, it generally is be-
lieved that information is being
sought as to whether the Constitu-
tionalists would consent, in case of
the elimination of Huerta, to some
form of temporary government in
which he would be represented.
Those close to the mediators say
it is believed that some such arrange
ment as this is the only possible one
under which peace may be restored
in Mexico.
A dispatch from FL Paso says Con-
stitutionalist leaders, when informed
of the South American ENJOYS plan,
Immediately said it will not be accept.
able to the followers of Carranza.
President Wilson, after he had dis
cussed the whole Mexican situation
with several members of his Cabinet,
said he is decidedly hopeful of a
speedy ending of the whole problem,
and is confident that war will be
averted.
Secretary Bryan made a long ex-
PLANTATION to the A. B. c. mediators
of the landing of American marines
on Lobos Island. (.
He went over in detail the pro-
test made by the Mexican President
and asserted that the lighthouse had
not been seized in a military sense;
that the keepers were free to come
opd or h1f that tbo Amorinop Nouv
had undertaken to keep the lights
burning as a protection to the worlds

FEARS EXTRA SESSION.
mo Telling What May Happen" Says
Governor Fielder.

Governor Fielder returned from a
short vacation at Blooming Grove,
Pike County, Pa, where he had been
the guest of friends. His first an
nouncement upon reaching the State
House was that he would not call a
special session of the Legislature until
both the Supreme Court and Court
OF Errors and Appeals had passed
upon the validity of the Hennessy
home rule" law.
The Governor was informed that
counsel for the various commission
government cities intended to petition
him for a special session. "There is
absolutely no need for them to do
that" he said, because l will not call
II. The question of issuing bonds In
not the only point to be considered,
but there are others, which, l under
stand, have been brought to the at
tention of the Supreme Court in the
certiorari proceedings instituted by
Trenton. Until these issues have
been passed upon by the Supreme
Court and Court of Errors and Ap-
peals | will not call the Legislature
back.
There would be no telling what
would happen if an extra session were
called. Newark wants some DISPOSE
ton made of the Morris Canal aban-
donment proposition and there are
other questions which, no doubt,
would be opened up, with the result
that the session might last all sum-
mer."
Charles H. Bateman, president OF
the Civil Service Commission, and
John w. Capstick, Of the State Board
o. Health, sat with their respective
boards for the last time. Mr.. Bate
man will be succeeded by George H.
Burke, of Paterson, and former Sena-
tor Isaac Nichols will take Mr.. Cap
sticks place.
The Civil Service Commission de-
cided that the name of Joseph w.
Sutton should not be expunged from
the eligible list for the position of
supervisor Of the prison farm at Lees
burg, Cumberland county. After hav-
ing passed the examination citizens
OF Leesburg objected to Sutton be-
cause they claimed he was not a
proper person for the place. The
board gave a hearing and it de-
cided that the evidence did not justify
such action. Spite was alleged.

Jury Heeds Insanity Defense Financed
by Mrs. Patten.
Chicago.-Wm. N. Keith's dream
defense of murder was given full
credence by a jury and he was ac-

Voting Machines Go as Junk.

The voting machines, which cost the
State $500 each, were sold to Nelson
e. Funk, of Hoboken, for $23 each.
The State bought 861 of them in the
administration of Governor Murphy in
1905 at a total cost of $3.50, 500. The
people soon grew tired of registering
their votes mechanically and senti-
ment grew against the machines. It
was conceded that they were accurate
and the result could be obtained i'm
mediately, but the human element
played no part in the method of vot-
ing and the Legislature discarded
them.
For years they have taken up space
In the basement Of the State House,
and no purchaser could be found until
