wonderful that broad-minded man
IKE Mr.. Burleson would at this time,
when thousands of men are out Of

number of unemployed and the attend

that very soon the pay of many postal
clerks would be reduced, thus adding

name of the fad called "efIiciency"-a

DR.. Shepard's tea farm in South

his large plantation, raised about
$4,000 pounds of tea annually. His
farm has been visited by many bot

Optimistic View.

A decidedly more optimistic view of
the situation SO far as the food sup
ply in Mexico is concerned is taken
in statement given out today by the
agency of the constitutionalist govern
ment here. This statement announced
that report had been received by the
agency describing conditions existing
in Mexico the end of June and was
written just as Mr.. O'Connor and Mr..
Shanklin were leaving for the interior
of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY SITUATION
CAUSE OF MUCH ANXIETY
Renewal Of Hostilities Blocks Meas
ures for Relief of the
Destitute.

Increasing anxiety is felt in official
circles today over the situation in Mex

come of the results of the fighting said
to have been begun between the Car
rama and Zapata forces in the out
skirts of that city. Meager official adj
of the fighting. but gave no indication
of how it was progressing.
With reports at hand describing con-
ditfons in the Mexican capital as pitt
fur and rapidly growing worse on &C
count Of the shortage of food. officials
today anxiously awaited the outcome OF
the latest fighting because of its posi-
Bile effect on the safety of foreigners
there.
Relief Problem Difficult.
1t was hoped that United States Con-
sui General Shanklin and Charles J.
OConnor. in charge of American relief
measures in Mexico City, would soon
be able to arrange for the transporta-
ton of food supplies to aid the famine
stricken popula ton of the capital. Mr..

immense one.
A message from Mr. O'Connor in Mex

Misery of Poor Classes
in Mexico Increases as
Food Is Communicated

PCEBLA. Mexico, June 30, by mail
to New Orleans, July 6.-An investi-
CATION of food conditions in the in
terror of Mexico. outside Of Mexico
City, indicates that although people are
not actually starving in great numbers,
many thousands are living on almost
famine rations and the misery of the
poorer classes is perhaps more intense
than ever before in the history of the
republic. Villages, and in some in
stances cities, are cut off from supplies.
Tribes of Indians who once thrived in
the mountains, after having their
farms ruined by bandits. have focked
to the settlements, adding to the diff
culties of the authorities, who are try
ing to devise ways and means to care
for the sufferers.
Starvation or death due to INSULT
cient nutrition is reported among the
poor women and children herded in the
cities, and hundreds of thousands OF
families are living on as little as
pound of corn or beans distributed to
them not oftener than once in three
days.
Reasons for Famine Conditions.
The principal reasons for famine con-
ditions throughout southern Mexico
are:
Railroad transportation everywhere
is demoralized. neither the Carranza
nor the Zapata forces being able to
control traffic.
Farms. large and small. are ruined
and there are practically no crops
Such small stores of foodstuffs as
exist in the cities are Communicated
by military factions or are held by
military leaders for speculation.

Succeeded Where Government Failed

" uele government rallied
DR.. Shepard began his famous expert
ments in the cultivation and manufac-
ture OF tea at his Pinehurst estate In
1880, succeeding where the government
and other American tea pioneers had
failed
Government records show that tea
was first grown in this country by the
French botanist Mchaux, who in 1900
planted tea at Middleton Batony on the
Ashley river. fifteen miles from Charles
ton. One of the supposed original
plants, probably grown for their deco
rative value. survived and when seen
by DR.. Charles U. Shepard about TWEEN
ty-five years ago had reached height
Of fifteen feet. The first attempt to in
troduce tea culture in America was
made by DR.. Junius Smith. who in 1s4s
turned his attention to growing tea on
his estate near Greenville. S. c.. bastng
his effort on imported seeds and plants
Upon his death the tea plants he left
without care soon disappeared.
The interest of the national govern
ment was first aroused in 1858, when.
through the action Of the commissioner
Of patents. Robert Fortune was sent to
China to obtain seed for planting in
this country. Plants were widely dis
tributed in the southern states. In
many cases the growers made tea by
domestic process for home use. but no
records Of sales have been found.
In 1880 the interest of the national
government in tea growing was again
revived under Commissioner of Agri-
culture William G. LIE Due, who, seeing
the introduction of the plant alone was
not sufficient to lead to the develop
ment of an industry, secured the serv-
ices of John Jackson, a tea planter Of
fourteen years experience in India, who
was instructed to carry out expert
ments. An area of 200 acres near Sum-
merville was leased for twenty years.
and the government imported tea seed
from Japan, China and India, but the
experiment failed.
Then 1t was reported that Dr. Shepard
about 1890 began growing tea, first on
a small scale. and selected Pinehurst
for his farm. DIR. Shepard said that all
tea used in this country should be
grown in the United States

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, June 22.-For the past
four days this city has been prey to
anxiety, and a general sense of fnse-
curity prevails. Reports of great bat
ties along a front extending over some
fifteen miles are published daily in rev.
dictionary extras" which every one
reads and no one believes.
The bulk of the defending army is
living in street cars, which are strung
out in long line between the suburbs
of Mixcoac and San Angel. These cars.
numbering f1fty-nine, occupy about a
mile of track along a road leading to
the city of Cuerpavaca, the ultimate
destination Of the defending army in
the event it is driven from this city.
These cars are on the opposite side
of the city to that which is being at
tackled.
Police Force Swept Aside.
The police force of the city has been
swept aside. so far as practical protec-
ton Is concerned, and, although gen
darmes are seen on post as usual. any
one wearing what approaches a. Mill
tary uniform is supreme. This was
brought home to the British consul
general here. e. W. P. Thurston, the
day before yesterday. when he was
compelled, at the point of rifles. to
carry two of Zapata's soldiers about
the city in his automobile, and was
almost forced to be an accomplice in
Jail delivery.
Mr.. Thurston was taking his morning
drive when the soldiers halted him and
boarded his car. After Joy riding about
the city they finally caused the chauffeur
to drive to the penitentiary, where gen.
eral jail break was attempted by them.
During the confusion the British legation
was notified, the men were arrested and
the car was returned to the consul. The
car flew the British flag at the time of
the assault. The authorities have prom
ised to execute the soldiers in this case.

at joint meeting of the Ada coun-

levy will raise $4,000, which the
directors of the fair will use as a

on it for the fair direct unless neces-
sary. With the commissioners
working with them, the fair direc-

and absolutely agree to pay all
premiums, even though the entire
