the Navy Department declared that
the authorities in Mexico City had
agreed to provide transportation for
all Americans from Mexico City as far
as Soledad. the Mexican controlled end
of the railroad to Vera Cruz. 1t also
announced tn: the first train with
ESQ American refugees would leave
Mexico City to-day. The conclusion
of negotiations in this connection was
gratifying to the President and Secre-
tary Bryan as we'll as the War Depart
ment officials.
Announcement also was made to-
day that Mexico refugees who are be-
ing held by this government at Fort
Bliss since the battle of Ojinaga would
be transferred to Fort Wingate, New
Mexico, In order to get them away
from the border where trouble may be

posals were announced by the Latin
American diplomates and that they
had at that time practical assurances
from close associates of the provis-
ional Mexican president that he would
accept their good offices.
Success of the first step toward
mediation coupled with the apparent
efforts Of the big European powers to
present war, and secure a settlement
OF this problem, removed from the
situation some of the elements of ten
sion which has gripped it for several
days.
Chairman Stone of the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations who con-
ferred with the President, said mem
bers OF Congress would generally ap-
prove of the mediation efforts.
European Influence
The adding of European influence
to the generally sympathetic attitude
which practically all Latin American
diplomates here have assumed to-
ward the mediation idea gave many
administration officials a confident
feeling that after all Huerta might be
disposed to end the present crisis In
way satisfactory to all concerned.
The Bolivian government through
Its minister here has notified Secretary
Bryan of its great satisfaction with the
acceptance by the United States of
the proposal to mediate the difference
between the United States ard Mexico.
Advices received from many officials

that the press and public of the Latin
American countries are almost a unit
in approving of the mediation pro-

DICKINSON COLLEGE
MAY HAVE NEW HEAD
Criticism of President Noble $
Management Likely to Lead
Trustees to Remove Him
Special to The Telegraph


Philadelphia, Pa. April 27.-Mem-
bers of the board of trustees and grad
yates of Dickinson College at Carlisle.
Pa, are stirred by movement which
has been started for the removal of
DR.. Edgar Noble as president Of that
institution. A trustee said here last
night that this condition was the re-
suit of financial difficulties the college
was facing. The situation came to
light yesterday with a report from
Carlisle, that members of the faculty
had come to Philadelphia for con-
ference with several of the trustees.
Criticism of DoctorNoble as head OF
the institution has been made, accord
ing to two of the trustees. and many
of those interested in the welfare of
the college has expressed the opinion
that he cannot command the financial
support which another might secure
One member of the board said con-
ditions at Dickinson certainly were not
what they should be, and hinted at a
lstrong opposition on the part of many
members of the board to Doctor Mob
les continuance as head of the institu-
| ton.
Judge e. w. Biddle chairman of
| the board of trustees, refused to COM
ment on the situation, but said that
there would be a meeting of the board
within the next few weeks. Another
member Of the board said that there
had been no criticism of Doctor Mob
les administration in scholastic mat
| ters, and he felt sure that if some
other plan could be devised for streng-
| thening the college financially there
would be no objection to his contin-
uing as head of the institution. He
did not believe that there had besn
any suggestions of a successor to Doc
tor Noble So far.
There are 40 members of the board
of trustees, and meeting will be held
on May ..
Doctor Noble will complete his third
year as President of Dickinson College
next October. He was chosen in the
fall of 1911 by committee of the
board delegated to select a successor
to DR.. George E. Reed, who retired at
that time on a pension from the Car
negie Fund. Doctor Noble previously
was president of Goucher College, at
Baltimore.

Guatemala up the west coast to con-
nection with the Tehuantepec road.

his own men every railroad in Mexico

foreigner. The last road to be taken
over was the Tehuantepec Nacional,
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic
ports of Salina Cruz and Coatzacoaicos.

Coatzacoalcos. where he effected the
release of all foreigners who had been
arrested under Huerta's orders and
held at Rincon Antonio, the head
quarters of the road. More than fifty
foreigners had been detained, includ-
ing officials of the railroad, conductors
engineers and machinists. Boyd had
the men and their families sent to the
coast, some to the Atlantic port and
others to the Pacific port.

Roofing, by modern manufacturing

rendered a tremendous service to roofing
users and to roofing dealers by establish

this is service to prospective roofing
buyers in pointing the way to roofing

Certain feed Roofing is sold at rea-
Sonabl2 price everywhere by dealers
who believe in giving unsurpassed

Certain feed Roofing required for an
average roof, say ten squares, will cost
less than IS over the cheap mail order

many times in the fifteen years wear

We are also advertising in farm

papers, reaching people who may not

This is our idea of service. We have
the three biggest mills-we are large
buyers of raw materials and we advertise
everywhere, because that is the cheapest
way to sell our roofing.
We share the savings of our enormous
volume with you who use roofing. We
encourage jobbers and dealers to follow
our example and sell on small margins
and depend upon the large volume of
business which is certain to result from
the best service to users of roofing.
That building of yours which requires a

is pitcher of remarkable ability.
Each team has used the star truck
horse early and often. Faber didn't
develop as quickly as>the others and
was rested earlier in the season. But
as soon as it was found that he had
the stuff he was handed a regular
slip and, in addition, drew plenty OF
rescue assignments.
See what has happened. Faber has
not looked like the same man IN MS
last two or three starts. The Mack
men hammered him numerically and
he had no soft billet against the Yam
KEGS. Earlier in the year these ag-
gregations were easy for him.
Hendrix has not done as much res
cuing as the others, but he has pitch
ed more full games. He is started
with greater frequency. And now
Claude could do very well with
whole afternoon to himself. He could
spend it in absolute rest and enjoy the
novelty. He has been affected in his
control more than any other depart
ment. He pitched Wednesday and
tried to rescue yesterday, but it was
too large an undertaking.
Cheney is probably the greatest
sufferer of the trio. If Larry doesn't
get his name in the box score four
times a week he begins to believe that
he has been overlooked by the man
ager. He starts at least one game
in four and comes in. on the rescue
part of many that some other fellow
begins.
Because of this large order Cheney
has been up against it recently. He
has been hit hard and doesn't possess
the reserve strength to rally on when
things are going against him: O'Day
has given him a rest in the last few
days and he may be all right on his
next start.

occasion.
Jim Vaughn is the person in mind.
At the start of the season it was be-
lieved that Vaughn would be good
man for the West Side staff. He was
not expected to do much more than
divide the left-handing with George
Pierce.
But his remarkable effectiveness
has made him the most dependable
left-hander in the entire league mot
barring Nap Rucker, RUDE Marquard
or Slim Sallee-and he is generally
good for game if his hackers will
present him with a run or two.
Jim is out for a large strike-oUt
record. And he is rapidly increasing
his total In his last game against
the Giants he set down an eevn dozen
via the fan route. Yesterday he eased
off trife against the Dodgers, and
was content with seven Whiffs.
The beauty about Vaughn's work
is that these strike-outs come at OPP
perfume times. He puts on extra stuff
when the enemy threatens, and is
usually capable of putting over three
that the batter cannot connect with.
Vaughn can stand a lot of work,
and he is sure to get all he wants
from now on to the end of the season.
One hit was all the Cubs made yes

put him in the lead for fourth.
In the fourth inning, when the Cubs
scored twice without an error, Safer

they got away with it because they

caused them to stage some cheesy

and muffed heaves. On double steal
