VILLA PLANS S0ETIES
TO SHOW HIS POWER
Saws Guerilla War VIII Prove
Carranza Helpless.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE decision!
Of the Pan-American conference OF
diplomats in New York 70 study within
the next three weeks "the material and
moral capacity" Of the elements aspir-
ing to recognition has led officials here
to believe that unless the military sit
uation in Mexico changes greatly the
recognition Of the Carranza movement
is practically certain.
To demonstrate that the Cerrsnza
movement does not control the terri
tory it claims will be the object Of
delegation Of Villa-Zapata followers
expected to arrive here this week.
They will be heard by Secretary Lans-
ing as will separately the representa-
tive of Carranza.
To supplement their argument here
that the Carranza movement should
not be recognized because of an al
legged lack Of moral capacity, the Villa
party Is planning an extensive guerilla
warfare. II is understood that General
Villa, using chihuahua as base, Will
send flying columns into various parts
of the republic and by series Of SEN
sational dashes endeavot to show the
helplessness Of Carranza.

SING SING SURELY SAFE
Osborne Says Keepers Discard Loaded
Clubs and Fear No Longer.

q
Lake Placid, n. Y. Sept l9.-Thomas
Mott Osborne. warden of Sing Sing, de-
Tended his administration at the clos
ing session Of the Efficiency Society
convention this afternoon. Speaking Of
prison efficiency, the warden said;
"The system Of self-government in
troduced at Sing Sing has proved a
boon not only TO the prisoners, but to
officials as well. IL is no longer neces-
sary for the officers TO 20 about armed
and in constant fear Of their lives.
Only the other day the principal keep
er laid aside the loaded club the prin-
cipal keeper at Sing Sing has carried
since time immemorial.
I'VE have had three men escape
from Sing Sing since | have been war
den there. Formerly the other convicts
rejoiced when a man escaped. A fourth
man attempted 10 get away from Sing
Sing, and when he was brought back
he other prisoners cheered the off
ers, instead Of hurting vile epithets at
hem. Their whole viewpoint has

Churches Reopen.

War and peace provided subjects for
ample discussion by several New York
ministers at the reopening Of their
churches yesterday after the summer
recess.
DR.. Charles A. Eaton, OF the Madison
Avenue Baptist Church, considers the
war the greatest blessing for mankind
since the German reformation. II as
a people we live up &c our history ne
said. 1--WE shall win for ourselves q
place Of leadership among nations. IL,
on the other hand, we temporiEe ana
shrink from accepting the burden OF
our own greatness we shall be desplseq
by tho nations and shall lose our moral
leadership, perhaps forever"
DIR. Eaton sees America in the role
Of defender Of Justice, humanity and
freedom of men. 1--WE must protest
frmly against every violation OF these
ideals. would rather fight and die
for nv principles than live without
seif-respect. We must let mankind
know that we hate war and love peace
but that we are not going to pay 700
much for peace" ,
The Rev. John Haynes Holmes, OF
the Church of the Messiah, feels that
Americas duty is to preserve the ideaI
Of peace and preach It's gospel i ne
duty of the hour Is TO preach peace 10
a world In arms.
The Mcfarland Gibbons prize hght IS
a sample of the bestiality that pro
paredness may develop, according 70
the Rev Christian F. Reisner' OF Grace
Metho dist Episcopal Church. There Is
a great danger that the cry Tor IN

man. and we. too, will depend on mill.

women Of culture will pay to see two

"When a barbarian mob cold-blooded-
" murders Leo Frank and is then pro-
tected by the community, what can we

DR.. S. Edward Young, in Bed

touched on the needs of the public

Il Is impossible yet to undertake any
relief in outlying towns. Relief meas

thorities are altogether inadequate:

MINT RUSHED FOR SILVER
August Demand for Small Coins Almost
Equals Year 1914.

Washington, Sept. 19-Dsmand from
banks and merchants for newly min ted
half dollars, quarters and dimes has
led Director Of the Mint Woolley TO
purchase since the hrst of August
4975.OOO fine ounces Of silver, almost
as much as was purchased during the
entire year OF 1914.
Owing TO the worldwide depression
the silver was purchased at an average
price of little more than 4S cents an
ounce. several cents under the average
price paid last year. Director Woolley
said to-day that the increased demand
for subsidiary coins shows greater
prosperity among workmen.

with the pedlers. Some Of them good
