vOr the teaching Of German in the p~i-
mary grades according TO the decision

ing a discussion of the question at the
school house

bers of several other Parents Teach
ers' clubs, as well as by a large pro
portion Of those of CoqU.llard Other
features OF the program were an in
teresting stereopticon lecture on the
wonders of the world by Miss Gertrude
Vaughn. principal Of the school. and
vocal numbers by two quartets.
The general sentiment on the teach
ing OF German in the primary grade
was that if children are TO learn a Ian
guage at all il is better that they be
gin il early as experiments have shown
that il is learned more easily and re-
tained better If taught in childhood
The greater proportion OF the chill
Gren attending the COquillard school
are from German families and many
are attending the German parochial
school on the east side on Saturdays
in order TO learn the language. II is
10 give them their holiday that the
parents favor the Introduction OF the
language into the regular school
work.
Another matter taken up was
whether or not the German classes
should be taught in the same room
where other children are having Eng
lish classes at the same time. the cor
clusion being that il would be better
to segregate the German classes
II is probable that action VIII be
taken soon by the members Of the
club 70 establish German definitely in
the curriculum Of the school
The musical features OF the evening
were contributed by a quartet com
posed OF Miss Irene Johnson. Mrs. A
&. PommeTt. William GOebel and l.. :

Consensus of Opinion
Of South Bend People is
Against Death Penalty

Following up the article in the
News-Times about John ChirIxa and
Harry Rassica, the two men who are
sentenced to die at the Michigan City
penitentiary on Feb. 20, the News
South Bend people from all walks OF
life on the subject of capital punish
ment.
The results, shown below, are signi-
fcant. Almost without exception, men
and women, doctors and lawyers, men
engaged in the business Of enforcing
the criminal law and those who must
pass sentence are agreed that capital
punishment is wrong Only two men
out of the list came out Unqualihedly
for capital punishment.
This article and the opinion stated
here will be forwarded to Gov. Raj
ston, who has the power to commute
the death penalty against the two men
to life imprisonment The News
Times will be glad to hear from other
South Bend men and women on the
subject, as it may save the state from
the stigma Of putting the two men to
death. The opinions follows:
Points to Michigan.
Judge IT. +. During
each OF three terms l was in the leg
islature the question came up wheth-
er or not to abolish capital punish
ment. Each time the vote to abolish
it was greater than before / voted for
il each time and made several
speeches on the subject Michigan,
my native state, furnishes a notable
example of a state in which capital
punishment has been abolished for
many years, so or more. 1t COM
pares very favorabIy with Indiana as
TO criminal records, and as successful
in controlling crime without the
death penalty as we are with it on
our statute books"
Judge c. 4. Farabaugh-'M eX-
perience in police court indicates that
the man who is given a chance to re-
deem himself usually, in fact, in al
most every case did so. If the same
results can be accomplished without
capital punishment 1 certainly am in
favor Of ii, and If from experience in
the reform of lesser criminals the
same results could be accomplished
with the greater ones"
Bishop John Hazen NVhite-"Per-
sonally / am opposed TO the death
penalty. but in my particular instance
1 believed in letting the officers Of the
law act as they saw tit. Men in au-
thority ia the state should act with
out interference by private citizens.
However. 1 feel that the weighty re-
sponsibility of pardoning men should
not be invested in one man, but rath-
er in a board. This matter might be
taken UP by the community, through

ATTACK AMER|C
PretendS UNFOLDING Pledge to
Protect Citizens of United
States and Several ExhOrt-
OrS Are Jailed.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 6.-Upholding
his pledge to protect Americans, Pres.
Huerta Friday ordered the arrest of
agitatOrs who were trying 10 incite
attacks on citizens of the L. 5. Many
were taken into custody.
Many of the prisoners have been
exhorting the lower classes for many
weeks to rise against the government
and their seizure caused intense bitter
ness among their followers.
Anticipating efforts TO release them,
an increased guard was placed at the
city prison and troops were held in
readiness for quick movement from
the arsenal. There has been a mark
ed change of sentiment in government
circles during the last "a hours over
the lifting of the arms embargo by
Pres. Wilson.
Many officials declared Friday that
the action of the Washington admin
istration had given the Mexican gov
ernment an opportunity TO obtain
much needed supply and it's agents
have been instructed to buy arms and
ammunition in the u. S. for immediate
shipment Similar notification was
sent to Mexican agents in Europe ac-
companied by the following message
from Pres. Huerta:
Mexico serenely awaits the solution
of the last stage of the present prob
lem. i assure you that no matter
what may happen the republic and its
government will maintain the national
hon or unstained. The financial and
military situation are much improved
and soon the world will know that
peace has been effected in Mexico"
Huerta's reception in public shows
that he has gained in popularity by
the developments of the last few days.

wanted to trade at that figure. Fl.
nally he met R. F. Moore, who offer
ed to take $50 between the mule and
a mare that he said that he owned.
They "jockeyed" around for a little
while, eventually trading even. The
mare proved to be the dam of the
now famous Napoleon Direct, 2:02k.
Mr.. Tolley, of course, would not
take now nearly what he bought her
for. She Is a comparatively young

She is one of the most valuable ami
