Shafroth Defends New
Currency Legislation

A defense Of the currency measure
was made in the Senate today by Sena-
tor Shafroth of Colorado. He denied
IT was IAN abject surrender to Wall
street and the banking interests as
charged on the Senate floor recently.
Senator Shafroth insisted the bankers
wanted a central bank AMI that Wall
Street wanted a central bank. he de-
clsred Wall Street wanted a central
bank because II knew New York was
the financial center of the country and
'.In all likelihood the one bank would
be established in that city.
According to Senator Shafrotn. the
Wilson Administration objected TO the
continuation of the power OF a rev
men in Wall street to dominate the n
nancial situation. "It surely averted a
panic which was imminent" said the
Senator.

Seminary Watchn1an Is
Fairn1Ont Bold Burglar

Burglar scares at young wonen's
finishing schools are popular with
scenario writer's. a favorite plot be-
ing one which begins with a chafing.
dish party after midnight in one Of
the young women's rooms.
A member Of the party, discover
ing that one OF the chief items Of
the midnight spread has been for
gotten. tiptoes downstairs for 4 bot
tie Of olives, or piece Of cheese.
and meets a burglar on the way
back. Young women in braids and
kimonos. nlatronly teachers in negli-
gee, and numerous others appear on
the scene. They handle the burglar
in way that would do credit to a
regiment OF militant suffragettes,
and turn him over to the police. The
chafing-dEsh party is discovered.
Those who participated expect to be
severely punished; but. instead, they
are forgiven and permitted to ITo-
ceed with the feast under the aus
pices of the teachers.
That's the way they do it in the
movies.
But here's the way 1t happened at
fashionable Fairmont Seminary

land was thoroughly informed as to the
allusions in that mysterious concluding
paragraph of President Wilson's tolls
message, in which the President spoke
vaguely of matters Of muTe delicate
and of graNer character" still to come
Up in international affairs.
Whether this refers to the Mexican
situation or to efforts on the part of
the United States to strengthen its al
lance with other powers in the belief
that eyentualities with Japan are not
far distant. is a question which has led
the curious in Congress to more less
excited speculation.
This morning Secretary of State Bry-
an held another of his long and mys-
terious conferences with Senator Shively
of Indiana. acting chairman of the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
hut both declined to discuss the purpose
OF the interview. The Senator has call..d
at the State Department nearly every
day this week.
In the absence of President Wilson,
who went this morning to Philadelphia.
to have his eyes examined, the Secre-
tary Of State was holding down the lid
on foreign affairs. Asked concerning
the rumors of Huerta's coming adbica-
ton, the Secretary declined to make
any comments whatsoever.
The Secretary of State said this morn
ing that the Carranza commission,
which is investigating the Benton kill
ing and Bauch disappearance for the
constitutionalists, will submit to the
United States its findings regarding
the American, Bauch He could not
say, however, whether similar informa-
ton would be given regarding the Eng
lish victim, Benton.

Hard to Keep Lid on
Mexican Talk in Public

Acute interest in Mexican affairs is
daily being shown in the Senate. Dem
ocTatic leaders are finding it impossible
longer to keep the lid on public debate
Following the speech of Senator
Works yesterday, In which he scathing-
ly assailed the policy of the Admins
tration in regard to Mexico. Senator
Fail was expected to speak today. Ad-
journment of the Senate until Monday,
however, prevented this. He will take
the floor Monday and will deliver a
striking address.
The Foreign Relations Committee has
not made plans to hear Felix Diaz. but
it is expected il will do so.
That od treaty. or proposed treaty,
exists, under which - United States
was authorized to intervene In Mexico
for protection of the lives and property
of Americans, has been disclosed. Most
people had forgotten 1t.
The treaty has just been made public
IT long had reposed in the secret ar
chives of the Senate. 1t was never
ratified. but was negotiated in 1859, and
was sanctioned by Juarez, the great
Mexican patriot. who preferred such a
to having European powers impose
themselves on his country.
II is believed that the publication of
this treaty will have an effect on Mex
Jean sentiment at this time, as pointing
out that if JuareZ. the George Wash
ington of his country. was willing to let
the United States take a hand 10 keep
the peace in Mexico. there can be no
reasonable objection to ii now.

Stepmother and Phone
Delay Boys Marriage

The telephone stopped Charles c. Ca
tor, aged eighteen, and Miss Ruth A
RidEeway, nineteen when they sought
TO obtain a marriage license yesterday.
The young swain's stepmother was the
enemy to Cupid
Gator, who is a call boy at the Union
Station, was undaunted when the mar
riage license clerk refused to give him
the certificate. He obtained three days
leave Then he and his bride-elect are
supposed to have gone to Philadelphia.
The stepmother heard of that scheme.
and she promptly notified the police OF
tha: city to stop the lad. Later in the
evening, ii was hinted to her that the
couple might try Camden, \. j., just
across the river from Philadelphia, in
case they were turned down in Philadel-
phia- At once, she telegraphed the clerk
OF the court there.
And every other town suggested as a
possible Gretna Green has been duly no
titled through its police to be on the
lookout for the runaways-
Mrs. Gator. explaining the incident
this afternoon, said don't want the
boy TO get married, because he's too
young, and because he is not able 10
support a wife. Then, too. he has been
sick of late, and ! am afraid of his
health.
"Of course, / am only his stepmother,
but j have taken care of him since he
was a baby. and / am very fond OF him
His father also objects to the match at
this time. The boy only gets $50 a
month. and / think he ought to wait
Until he is twenty-One, and is able 70

day after she had telephoned there.

1y after midnight the relative
brought the young woman back and
she was telling him what a lovely
evening she had had.
Just then both looked through tho
vestibule door and SOW the face Of a
colored man. who was peering at
them. Instantly the face vanished,
and the colored man could be heard
making a hasty retreat toward the
rear of the seminary.
A burglar. The principal was i'm
mediately notified and the alarm was
sounded. In a few minutes most
of the students knew there was a
burglar about. and then came Iolice
and detectives to make 1t a first
class scare"
A thorough search Of the seminary
proved futile and then somebody
suggested that the burglar might
have been the night watchman. who
Is colored. The watchman was sum-
moned. He pleaded guilty. He saw
a couple in the vestibule. he said,
recognized the young lady as one
who had a right to be there. and
well. he did what he thought was
the only thing to do-retfred prompt
