Washington, May 13.-President
Wilson has signed the agricultural
extension bill providing for farm
demonstration in all the states of
the Union.
1t will be remembered that quite
a fight was made when the bill was

of the funds with the negro agricul-

When the bill reached the President

and he was urged to veto the bill for
this reason. The President declined
to do so, and the bill is now a law

Delegates.

Nashville, Tenn, May 13.-Dr.
Lansing Burrows of Americus, Ga.
late today was elected president of
the Southern Baptist Convention,
which convenes here for five days
session. DR.. Burrows selection ter
minated an exciting three ballot con-
test in which his four opponents for
the honor were eliminated.
The first session of the convention
was attended by 1,459 authorized
delegates representing a constituency
of more than two million persons
from every Southern state and Illi-
nois.
Immediately after converting the
delegates entered into the election
of officers. DR.. r. G. Dargan OF
Macon, Ga, who has been president
of the organization for three years.
announced that he was not a can
didate for reelection Despite this
fact DR.. Dargan's name was placed
in nomination together with w. II.
Wolfe of Dallas, Texas, Edgar Y.
Mullins of Louisville, KY, DR.. ]. b.
Cambrell, editor of The BAPTIST
Standard, Dallas, Texas, and DR..
Lansing Burrows.
The following other officers were

Vice presidents, w. f. Powell.
Louisville, Ky; w. II. Wolfe, Dallas.
Texas; III. S. ID. Mallory, Alabama.

During the progress of the cleo
ton, the visiting delegates were
welcomed to the city by Rev. G.. A.
Lotion, dean OF the local Baptist min
listers and several committee reports
were read.
In his address DR.. Lotion spoke Of
the progress made by the Baptist de-
nomination since the Sixteenth cen
tury. This, he said, was due to
orthodox evangelism, education and
practice"
"The greatest menace to this
progress" he added, now is con-
ventional predominance over the
churches and the nberalistic ten
denotes of big money and infidel cul-
ture crept into high places of de-
nominational trust through educa-
tion, literature and pulpit utterance.
This world can never be redeem
ed upon the theory of n spotted
Bible, chimpanzee raciGlism, an
evoluted Christ, minimized sin, a
doubtful hell, Unitarian atonement
and salvation by culture and charac-
ter, instead OF grace" he asserted.
Reports of the home and foreign
mission boards were read before the
convention this afternoon, but no
action upon them was taken. The
foreign mission board stated that
5.523 baptisms during the year just
closed. the largest number ever re-
ported in one year.

Small Chance of Escape.

Vera Cruz, May 14.-The fall of
Tampico and what it may mean is the
subject of general speculation here.
/ 1t is learned that the Constitution
alists delivered a determined attack
on the port, beginning at O'Clock
this morning. The federal advance
posts were driven in and until noon
desperate firing was continuous.
In what direction tne- federals are
evacuating the town has not been
learned, but 1t is believed that the
Constitutionalists have overrun the
territory around San Luis Potosi and
Monterey, which would make federal
escape in that direction possible only
by a continuous running fight for
many miles.
Few. II any foreigners, remain in
Tampico. according to the last re-
ports received here. A general ex-
odus began when the news spread
that the rebels were preparing for n
final assault. Many Tampico refu-
gees passed through here, but few
7
authorities were not willing to in
crease the large colony already over
crowding the hotels. With the fall
OF Tampico hostilities on the Gulf
coast OF Mexico come ii an end, at
least for a time.
MAINTAINING ARMISTICE.
The federals are maintaining the
armistice so far as the Americans are
concerned, according to a note from
Gen. Rubio Navarreto published here
today. Nowhere else along the coast
/ line, except at Tampico, are there
more than scattered posts OF federals
or Constitutionalists, and the logical
movement of the victors from Tampi-
co would be to join forces with those
besieging San Luis Potosi
South of Tampico the nearest fed
eral forces, those on the Mexican
| Railroad, are merely holding out
posts against a possible American ad-
vance inland. The country between
Tampico and Vera Cruz, and inland
to the line OF the Mexican National
Railroad is barren and mountainous
and impossible for military opera
tions. There is no railroad or other
means for the Constitutionalists to
move against thief ederals at Paso
Del Macho. nor would they gain great
advantage by Irving them back to-
ward the capital.
The Constitutionalists first at
tackled Tampico last December and
ighting has been virtually continuous
since. Twice they drove the Federal
garrison into the town and seemed
near victory. only to be shelled by the
gunbOats and forced to retire on the
hills. No estimate Of the losses on
either side have ever been offlcially
obtained. t'
There is much discussion here as
to the possible relations between this
port under American control and
Tampico under the Constitutionalist
control. 1t is said that Tampico is
greatly In need OF supplies of all
kinds and Vera Cruz merchants hope

washington Some Concern.
Washinton, May IL Tampico's

seaport through which munitions of
war may be directly imported, inject
ed into the Mexican situation to-day
new phases to occupy the attention of
official Washington. The last confe-
renee of the South American media,
tors was held and later one of the
ENJOYS Ambassador Da CANA, depar-
ted for Niagara Falls.
Interest to-day centcred on Tam
pico and the virgorous prosecution of
the Constitutionalist campaign south
ward. The American government
already has begun Representations to
the Constitutionalists to secure
protection for American and other
foreign operatives returning to the oil
wells; American warships have gone
up the Panuco River to heir old
stations before the town. At the
mouth of the river are the Federal
gunboats with part of the Federal
garrison. The captains of the ships
have asked for an interview with
Rear Admiral Mayo. which was
granted but it's purpose has not been
divulged.
REBELS NEED MORE ARMS.
Discussion to-day centered chiefly
on the question of shipping arms and
ammunition through Tampico. The
Constitutionalists are short and wish
to avail themselves OF the first oppor-
tunity to replenish their stock. Arms
were prevented from reaching the
Constitutionlists through the embar-
go which was replaced by President
Wilson some time ago.
At Manzanillo and other west coast
ports no effort have been made to
prevent arms reaching Huerta and
the belief was general here to-day
that the Constitutionlists would have
no difficulty In importing munitions
through Tampico in any quantity.
The presence OF the Huerta gun
boats in Tampico harbor after evacu-
alton by the federals has led TO the
conjecture that they will be used in
blockadln8 the port 1t Ia believed
that 1t was the purpose of learning
whether Admiral Mayo would re-
spect such a blockade that the com
manders OF the federal gunboats ask
ed for a conference.
OPINION OF EXPERTS.
Naval experts here agree that so
long as the federal commanders are
able to make this blockade really eff
fective. it must be respected by for
eign shipping. The recognition of an
effective blockade by a belligerent
does not. 1t is said, involve political
recognition of either party TO the
strife.
The state department regards the
Lobos Island lighthouse incident as
closed.
Secretary Bryan today acquitted of
any blame Lieut. Commander Jeffers
OF the destroyer Tanning, who gave
the light Keeper certificate that he
had taken possession of tho light by
force.
1t was Mexican and not a Norwe-
gian vessel from which shots were
fired against Americans at Vera Cruz,
for which incident FIVE South Ameri-
cans were arrested, according to Il
report from, General Funston to Sec
retary Garrison today. The case
under consideration is interesting the
state department exceedingly.
