PRESIDENT MAY
AID RED CROSS
Its Inability to Help Mexico
City Will Be Laid
Before Him.
OROZCO REPORTED GONE
Carranza Seeks Huerta's Extradition
in Order to Learn If Wilson Is
Friendly Toward First Chief.

nile the significance of the Red Cross
having reached the conclusion that its
attempts to conduct relief work in
Mexico must be futile under existing con-
dltiohs is fully appreciated at the State
department, ii was made known yester-
DAY that no action whatever will be
taken by the government while President
Wilson is out of the city.
With the return of the President Thu.
week the views of the Red Cross will
be laid before him. 1t is generally felt
that he will decide in favor of a course
which will prevent the efforts of the
Red Cross from being nullified
Yesterdays reports to the State De-
partment gave no indication as to what
success Consul General Shanklin and
Red Cross Agent O'Conner have met
with in their efforts to reach Mexico
City. 1t is known only that they left
Pachuca. carrying with them light boxes
of emergency medical supplies, leaving
the bulk of the relief stores TO be brought
forward later if means ae found to
transport them.
The State Department is still with
out communication with Mexico City.
Efforts are being made at Vera Cruz
and Mexico City to put the wireless
station of the German Legation to use
for communication with Vera Cruz.
OrOxcO Reported Gone.
Reports of the disappearance of
Rascual OroZco. who. with Gen.
Huertd. is held on bail by the Federal
authorities on the charge of violating
the neutrality laws, aroused much in
terest here. According to reports from
Ell Paso. both he and Huerta have been
most carefully watched all the time
they have been out on bond. 1t is
not believed that Orozco, if he sue
ceeds in getting into Mexico, will be
able to accomplish much.
The Carranza agency yesterday pre-
scented at the State Department formal
request for the extradition of Huerta.
1t is believed this request is not pre-
scented in any hope that it will be grant
ed, but merely to sustain Carranza's at
titude of assuming that his government
is the real government of Mexico and
entitled to recognition.
The Carranza agency last night re-
ceived a dispatch from Vera Cruz in
it to disregard reports that Gen |
had been defeated by the Zapa- |
IA forces in possession of Mexico City. |

GIRLS TAKE PART
IN TRACK MEET
PLAY BASEBALL, TOO
CRESTOMATHS WIN THREE IN
MING GAME FROM NIKATI.
MAS AT NORMAL.

A large crowd of Normal students
and their friends gathered on the
Normal campus yesterday afternoon
to witness the annual "fake" track
meet held for the benefit of the girls
literary societies.
The meet opened with a potato race
which was won for the junior, class
by c. j. Thompson. Various other
events followed in rapid succession.
The sack race was won by Orion Wray
for the juniors. Hugh Clark and
Travis Rison proved to be the winine
pair OF Siamese twins in three.
legged race. In the hundred-yard
dash as we'll as in the bee line race,
Miss Pearl Smith was returned win
ner. Miss Alice Moore was victor in
the wheel-barrow race, while Miss
Clyde Davis took the baseball throw
by lead of IA feet over her COM
petitors. In closely contested relay
the Wingo men defeated the Clary
men. Early in the race Travis Rison
gave the Wingos such lead that the
Clarys were never again able to pass
a Wingo runner. The feature of the
contest was remarkable burst of
of speed on the part of Hugh Clark,
Clary, but it came too late in the con-
test to win for his society.
The final track event was a tug-of.
war in which representatives of the
seniors and sophomores were the
losers to the men of the freshmen
and junior classes.
The meet closed with a girls base
ball game between the Crestomaths
and Nikatimas. This was an excit
ing three-inning contest. Both teams
were we'll matched, the Crestomaths
finally winning by Z to 6 score.
Miss Clyde Davis for the Crestomaths
and Misses Ruth Handy and Jewell
Coventon for the Nikatimas, were
pitchers. Behind the bat the Cres-
tos were represented by Miss Virginia
Jackson, and the Nikatimas by Miss
Harding. The umpire was Howard
Merrill of Conway. He was assisted
on the bases by Prof. D. D. McBrien
of the Normal faculty. The coach
ing given to the Crestomath team by
the Wingos, and to the Nikatima team
by the Clarys was much in evidence.
During the meet several side at
fractions were introduced. Chief
among these was contest of strength
in which B. l.. Kenady found that
even as great man as he might
suffer a fall. The interest shown in
this meet guarantees its repetition
next year.

Little Rock, May 2O-Probably 10
towns in the state will hold special
elections June 10, as result of a
proclamation issued today by Gov.
Hays. The supreme court on Feb
ruary %, in the case of Cotton VS..
the City of Benton, held that the leg
lslature had no right to raise city
of the second class to the first class
unless it had population of 5000
This left without city administrations
many such towns, because there was
no provision for special election in
such a case.
A proclamation today calls for the
election of mayor, recorder and five

TENNESSEE N0RMALS
ARRIVE FOR 3 GAMES

The West Tennessee Normal School
baseball team arrived this morning
from Memphis for series of games
with the Hendrix College Bulldogs.
The first game will be played this
afternoon. A game will be played to-
morrow afternoon and probably Sat-
urday afternoon. Each game will be
called at o'clock, and will be played
on Russell field.
The Tennesseans have played Is
games this season, losing only three.
Ten members of the squad are batting
over 800, which is evidence sufficient
that they are a slugging bunch. The
Bulldogs realize that they will go up
against strong team, but hope to
cop majority of the contests. They
have had a lot of practice during the
past two weeks, and are in the best
possible condition for the games.
