 Is Quieter

Paris, March 19.-French public opin- ion continues to be deeply occupied with the Calmette tragedy and the result from the political agitation. although it was less outwardly manifested today. The general interest of the pleasure-loving rarisians was centered Tn the Ml-careme parade, of which confetti battles ia tho boulevards were a feature
 A few excited students in Paris and Versailles attempted demonstrations against M. caillaux. but the police had no difficulty in dispensing them
 The principal development of the day was the resignation of Ernest Mons from the ministry of marine and it now is understood his withdrawal from the cab-
 net will be permanent whatever the yer dict of the Investigating committee.
 Various names were mentioned in the Hobbies of the chamber for the post of minister of marine, but Premier Dou- mergue has decided to take no action for the present.
 Anticipate No Trouble
 While some kind of a demonstration by the anti-republicans is certain to be attempted at the funeral of M Calmette tc morrow, the police authorities do not anticipate serious trouble. Nevertheless, M. Hennion, the prefect of Paris, has made extensive preparations to preserve order.

AMENDMENT GIVING SUFFRAGE TO WOMEN DEFEATED IN SENATE
ASKS PRESIDENT TO ESTABLISH A
 SUFFRAGE DAY

New York. March 1a-The National Woman Suffrage association appealed to President Wilson today to establish the first Saturday in May of each year as
 Noman's Independence Day. on behalf of the executive board of the association, President Anna Howard Shaw has ad- dressed to President Wilson the following letter:
 The agitation for the political enfran- chisement of women has been carried for ward without falterng for nearly three score and 10 years, along dignihed and constitutional lines.
 Year after year one nation after an- other has recognized the justice of this democratic demand for self government and has granted to women citizens equal political rights with men, and in our own country at the next general cleo ton, women will vote in 10 states and one territory Amendments to state con- stitutions granting suffrage to women in at least five states will be voted upon at the same election, and in six or more additional states in 1915, while in every state demands are being made upon the national Congress to so amend the na- tional constitution as to forbid the states from Merchandising United States eiti- zens on account of sex
 Sets Apart Day
 Recognizing that the cause of woman suffrage is no longer an academic prob lem, hut that 1t has entered the field of practical politics, and that it's speedy so- lution is of vital importance to the coun- try, the National Woman's Suffrage as- sociation has set apart the first Saturday of May for a great public demonstra- ton throughout the nation for the pur- pose of setting forth the just claim of women to political freedom, to arouse such a spirit of patriotic devotion in the hearts of all mothers that it may burn with quenchless flame in the lives of their children.
 Tn this spirit of loyalty to true de mocracy, MT. President, the executive board of the National Woman's Suffrage association appeals to you in your of hclal capacity as President of the United States, to set apart the first Saturday in May to be known as Woman's s Independ- ence Day, in recognition of the loyalty of American women to the spirit and claims of 1776 that the foundation of all just governments rests upon the consent of the governed"

Wilson Dicusses Proposed Conference Between John
 Lind and Rojas
NONE MENTIONED TO
 SUCCEED DICTATOR
President Has No Man or Faction in Mind as Probable Successor to Present Mexican
 Power

Washington. March 19.-The United States government will welcome a re- opening of negotiations with the Hu- erta government or the constitutional ists and will be glad to consider any proposal that will tend to draw the various factions together into a plan for the restoration of peace in Mex ico.
 This is the attitude President Wilson revealed today after reports reached here saying Senor .Portillo Rojas, minister for foreign affairs in the Huerta cabinet had gone to meet John Lind. Mir. Wilson's personal represen- tative. to seek 2 resumption of the peace parleys. Senor Roias has been mentioned as the man who would sue ceed Huerta If he retired and the ob- ject of the visit to MT Lind, 1t has been reported. was to acquaint the Presidents envoy with his personality.
 Incidentally tho President in talking with callers today, while remarkng that he had had nU official report of any new barley. spoke in compliment ary terms of the Mexican minister Of foreign affairs.

Wilson's s Position


 informal discussions on the Mexican United States has never sought to ap- prove or 1isapprove of individuals who may aspire to the presidency of Mex leo, and that he has no list of men whom he holds under a so- o-called ban because of alleg d complicity in the assassination of Madero. His refusal to recognize Huerta, it may be stated O nthe highest authority, was not based on any personal antagonism to Huerta. but on the ground that the constituucnalists would never be rec onciled to the man who overthrow Ma dero and Suarez and that governments set up by arbitrary force and not re- 1 fleeting ,nc popular will should not b, dealt with by tho United states
 Likewise, in the consideration of In dividuals who might seek the recogni tion of the United States the prin ciple President Wilson has been work ing on is that recognition to anyone sei Up in the presidency without some popular expression or without the in- dorsemcnt of all factions could not lead - pcace. In considering peace pro- pos rom the Huerta government tho .tted States, it is known now will do all that it can to forward n peaceful settlement. but the continua- ton Is es stronP with the President today as it was when he sent his in- structions to John Lind last summer that peace in Mexico in the analysis is dependent upon terms that will be ac- ceptable alike to the constitutionalists and the Huerta administration He rec Cgnizes ttat the value of all proposals depends upon how far such plans seek to draw the Mexican factions together in common agreement upon a provi- sional Pre- sident who can convoke elections. or rehabilitate the govern ment machinery in way that would be indorsed by the Mexican populace generally

May Send Commission

One of the suggestions made to President Wilson lately oontemplates the sending of commission of Amer jeans of ni ominence to investigate con ditions in Mexico Unofficial reports have had it that both CarranZa ana Huerta would receive such n commis- sion. President Wilson is carefully con sidering the suggestion said to have been mGde originally by oscar s, Strauss. former ambassador to Turkey and prominent in the cause of world peace. The President, it is known, would be glad to send such a commis- sion if it could assist the MaSican fac tions in arriving at an agreement but 1t is believed that he feels that actual peace proposals II ust necessarily orig mate with the Mexican factions and that unless the commission were in- vted to go to Mexico its errand would be fruitlcss, mediation of the same sort having previously been rejected by both Mexican factions.

Who's Who And Why.

The last number of Current
Sauce published before the close
of The summer term, pays the fol-
lowing just tribute to the popular
and very efficient Matron:
This week the honor falls to
Mrs. Henry Hawkins, the kind
and efficient Matron of the Louisi-
ana State Normal School.
Mrs. Hawkins has been Matron
of the Normal for about six years,
coming here when Mr.. Aswell be-
came President Of the school.
Mrs. Hawkins has shown herself
to be an excellent Matron in every
way. We feel safe in saving that
tho the world were searched for a
better matron none could be found
better than she, and few so good.
Mrs. Hawkins IS ever kind and
sympathetic and willing to help
any and all who come to her for
aid.
She is never too busy to hear
the tales of joy or woe of her
girls" and always adds joyful
word to the happy, sympathetic
one to the unhappy.
As manager of the whole Club
scheme, and especially as manager
of the Dining Hall, she is without
an equal. She orders and handles
the supplies with marvellous dex-
terity, and manages the whole
force of servants with ease and
success
Mrs. Hawkins is indeed a won
derful woman for only genius
could do the things which she
does. How she can hold all that
she does in that small head of hers
| is more than any of US can answer.
She is a genius without doubt
and must not be ranked with the
ordinary woman. She is held in
high esteem b. all who know her
and by 'her girls" is thought OF
as our dear and kind Mrs.
Hawkins. !"

The Louisiana press, with but
