BIG SCHOOL MEETING
John 3. McFerran Urges More Liberal
Support of Schools.

Shelbyville, Ky.-A new era in the
public school system of Shelby county,
it is believed, was inaugurated here
when fully 1,50O teachers, trustees and
pupils from the several districts assem-
bled in Shelbyville to become better
acquainted with each other, to ex-
change ideas and receive suggestions
and to engage in friendly competition
in field sport and school exhibits. John
B. McFerran, of Louisville; Prof. T.
J. Coates, state supervision of rural
schools, and R. S. Eubank, editor Of
the School Journal, were present and
made short addresses, filed with help
full suggestions for better results from
future work. Mr.. McFerran addressed
himself more particularly to the trus-
tees and parents, taxpayers and citi-
zens generally. He declared that the
children of the state are its most val
liable assets and therefore are entitled
to fully as good quarters and trainers
as are provided for our thoroughbred
horses and cattle. He ridiculed the
niggardly tax imposed for school pur-
poses in most districts, and strongly
advocated the consolidated school, for
the reason that better teachers can be
secured in that way

the Coxton mines one year ago and
leased it to the Williams interests for
a short term, while developing the
second mine. Under the Williams
management the mine now in opera
ton has become the largest producing
mine in Harlan county, and its output
| is increasing. It's success with this
| operation led to negotiations on the
| part of the Williams company to ac.
quire both the mines and operate
them as a unit with an enlarged acre

London, April 20.-A reign Of terror
exists throughout the British isles
as a result of the activity Of the
suffragette incendiaries. The fears
of property owners were heightened
by the information that Scotland
Yard has discovered plot among
the leaders of the militant sufragettes
to carry on the most extravagant ar
son campaign that has been attempted
since women injected violence into
their campaign for votes.
Insurance rates are being Increased
and many large property owners. are
employing special guards to watch
their buildings.
A striking feature of the situation
is that no one knows where the torch
will be applied next. The leaders
have divided the arson squad into de-
tachments. one of which has been
sent into Scotland and another into
Ireland.
The police are mystif1ed as to the
source of the finances which the mill
tants need to carry out such cam
paign.

Sellers ditch project. This was one
of the biggest drainage propositions in
the county The original ditch failed
to do the work after many thousand
dollars had been assessed. The gov

veys and did so, and now reports that
it will cost $4,000 to make the ditch
what is should be.

Washingtonfi April 19.-Gen. Huerta
refused to accede to the unconditional
demand of the President Wilson that
he salute the American flag at Tam.
pico, and the United States and Mex
leo are on the brink of hostilities. The
hope that Huerta would yield and not
quibble over the form of the salute
which was entertained by Secretary
of State Bryan has almost vanished.
If Huerta does not change his mind
by the time Congress convenes Mon
day the President will present the en-
tire situation to that body and ask for
authority to use the army and navy
in bringing Huerta to time.
To Confer With Cabinet.
Soon after he arrives in Washington
the President will hold special meet
ing of his Cabinet and subsequently
he will proceed to the Capitol to make
suitable representations to Congress.
A statement of negotiations which
! followed the ultimatum issued by the
President that Huerta order a salute
to the flag at Tampico by o'clock
this evening was given out late by
Secretary Bryan.
1t shows that the President is in
exorable in his resolution not to quail
lfy his latest demand, and that Huer-
ia, on the other hand, is equally OBJ
durate, although he still leaves loop
hole through which to escape The
Mexican President was heard from
in two separate dispatches from Mel,
son O'Shaughnessy.
Asks For Delay.
In his first message Huerta asked
for 4S hours delay to enable him to
convene his Congress in order to sub
nit this governments ultimatum to
it before giving his reply. From White
Sulphur Springs the President direct
ed the Secretary of State to send a
positive refusal to this proposal and
it was forthwith sent by cable tc
o >O'Shaughnessy.
Huerta then submitted new propo
sition to the effect that a protocol bt
signed up by both governments, Mex
leo agreeing to fire the salute demand
ed by the United States and this gov
ernment consenting to return salute
This, of course, was a farcical propo
sition, and like the first one was
promptly rejected by the President, tc
whom it had been communicated ovel
the long distance telephone by Secre
tary Bryan.
Still Has Time.
Huerta still has time in which tt
capitulate Internationally.

CONGRESS SUPPORTS
PRESIDENT WILSON
ENTHUSIASTICALLY

Promptly at 3 o'clock Mon
day President Wilson read
his message to the joint ses-
sion of Congress. He did not
ask for a declaration of war,
but he merely asked the sup
port of Congress in his effort
to require Gen. Huerta to sa-
lutte the flag. The House
chamber was crowded and
the President was greeted
with a roar of applause and
cheers.
Congress will act on the
suggestions of the President
and will give its united sup
port to him.
Among the President S
declarations in his message
were these two striking para
graphs:
"This Government can, earn
estly hope, in no circumstances be
forced into war with the people
of Mexico. Mexico is torn by
civil strife. If we are to accept
the tests of its own Constitution,
it has no government. General
Huerta has set his power up in
the City of Mexico, and such as it
is, without right and by methods
for which there can be no justifl.
cation.
"Only part of the country is un.
der his control. If armed con
f1ict should unhappily come as 4
result of his attitude of personal
resentment toward this Govern
ment, we should be fighting only
Gen. Huerta and those who ad-
here to him and give him theil
support, and our object would be
only to restore to the people o.
the distracted Republic the op
portunity to set UP again theil
own laws and their own Govern
ment".
The whole tenor of the Presi
dents message was a plea TO-
peace and the avoidance of war
