I saw him do it. AT the time 1t was con-
sidered a marvellous thing and Billy got
national prominence as a result. Every
body on the team always worked to get
Billy on the bases because they knew
that II he once got to first, he was al
most certain to score.
GAS base stealer Billy didn't have q
rival Just as Ty Cobb is the terror to
present-day catchers, Billy was the ter
ror in his day. I've seen him many a
time start to slide into the bases when
he would be 20 feet way, and nine times
out of ten he'd make it.
"All the spectators would see would
be cloud of dust. Billy was such a
twister that 1t was almost impossible for
q baseman to get the ball on him.
BILLY played in the field and. believe
me, he could cover lot of ground too.
In those days Billy was the same good
fellow that he Is today, only he hadn't
got religion. He was a favorite with
everybody on the club, and especially
with the fans. He was great 'kidder.'

WOMEN'S CLUBS IN
FAVOR OF SUFFRAGE
National Federation Declares
for Political Equality.

Chicago, June 14.-Breaking down
twenty-year fight on consideration
of political and religious subjects the
suffragists won an endorsement of the
principle of women's suffrage by the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs. There were tears Of emotion
in many eyes. In a distant gallery
began the melody of the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" its notes
sounding above the tumult of ap-
plause and spreading until the re-
frain, GLORY, Glory, Hallelujah," was
heard in every part of the mammoth
Auditorium
The only woman taking part in the
discussion was Mrs. James Leach of
Louisville, KY, who offered prayer
for calm discussion. Several would
have discussed it, but Miss Lutte E.
Stearns of Milwaukee, Wis, objected.
II don't see why there should be
any discussion" she said. Eight mil
lion women are waiting for us. AS
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait said In
her wonderful address the women OF
the world are waiting for our action"
The dissenting vote was very
feeble.

DANGER OF FAMINE EXISTS
Food Supplies Will Be Rushed to Vera
Cruz.

Washington, June 13.-Fear of a
real famine at Vera Cruz because of
failure to receive food supplies owing
to the breach in the railway and to
the refusal of the Huerta government
to permit the rails to be replaced is
giving the war department no little
concern
Acting Secretary Breckenridge has
concluded that the task of provisions

individuals and has plans for the ship.

ports.
News of the threatened famine set

that American merchants soon will

gates from the United States and the
Huerta government formally affixed
their signatures in the presence Of
the mediating representatives of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile to the first
protocol of the series through which
it is hoped to restore peace in Mex
leo.
The agreement reached regarding
the manner of transferring the ex-
ecut1ve power from Huerta to the
new provisional government stood the
acid test of reduction to writing. 1t
provides that:
A government is to be constituted
in Mexico of character to be pro-
vided later, which shall be recognized
by the United States on date to be
fixed and which from that day for
ward shall exercise public functions
until there shall be inaugurated a
constitutional president
This plank in the peace plan was
reduced to the form of protocol at
ter more than three weeks of discus
sion, in the last three days of which
so serious disagreement had arisen
that the success of the entire media
ton program was threatened The
brief protocol was significant of two
things:
1t makes no mention of General
Huerta as the provisional president
and it omits the method of transfer
which the Mexican delegates and me-
diators suggested and to which the
United States strenuously objected on
the ground that it's retention would
be tantamount to recognition of the
existing regime.
AS for the American delegates they
consider the method of transfer a
closed incident. All parties are now
concentrating on the second part of
the peace plan, which will form an
other protocol. 1t relates to the name
of the provisional president and pos.
sibly will include his cabinet of four.
Though the protocol is composed
of comparatively few words it is the
!, embodiment of that for which the
! United States has been striving for
j more than year-elimination of HUI.

after brief debate and without the

vote of PIG to II the senate amend
ment specifically reserving all rights
the United States may have under the

Representative Underwood, Demo

senate amendment, said that congress
should never have made this "un-

amendment ineffective and negative"
Republican Leader Mann, who had
vigorously opposed repeal, supported
the amendment, declaring it left the
entire question of the rights of this
country to be determined in the fu-

The premier's attitude showed that

that the danger of war is imminent.
The premier obviously found diff.

when he spoke of the way in which
the Turks have treated his country
men. He said:
Il do not wish to allow to escape
words which cannot be recalled, but
