ton of 7th street business men, which
protested against the singing out of
that street for wholesale reductions in
the number of licensed saloons. In the
number were Joseph Berberich, John
D. Howard, John Shugrue. Harry kauf-
man. D. B. Gusdorfi, Isidore Freund, C..
]. Bedell, NJ. Reichgut. NJ. Holzbeier-
Iein and DR.. NJ. L. Goldsmith
Representatives of the delegation de-
clared that it was not their purpose to
advocate the cause of applicants, but
to protest against the removal of sa-
looms from 7th street, on the ground
that it would amount to a persecution
of business in that thoroughfare. They
stated that conditions complained of at
former hearings We're better on 7th
street now than they had been in
years.
In connection with the business mems
testimony the board ordered read let
ter from the board of education indors-
ing the protest of Central High, Nc

IN SALOONS
IN CAPITAL PREDICTED
Believed That No More Than $50
Licenses Will Be Issued
by Excise Board.

An extensive reduction in the num-
Der of retail drinking establishments
in Washington is the prediction of
many who have followed the progress
of the liquor license hearings before
the excise board, though members of
that body today refused to discuss
their probable action.
Under the Jones-Works law 800
saloons may be licensed, but only
29S applications. have been received
1t is regarded as extremely probable
that many of these applications will
be rejected, and in some quarters
the belief is entertained that not more
than ESQ licenses will be issued.
The board concluded with its hearings
yesterday and may announce the list of
licenses by Saturday. This will be done,
If possible, in order that those whose
applications are rejected may have an
opportunity in which to wind up their
affairs. The new license year begins
Monday.

 Everybody kept asking me why l was so quiet.
 That query, to my friends, would seem something of joke. knowing my reputa- ton for loquacity but as matter of fact this time the conditions warranted il because I was-quiet
 I was quiet because l wanted that story with General Huerta and I didn't know how to get it, and I told them so. while they laughingly assured me that there was a perfectly good chance left and they'd help me when we got back to For est Hills.
 Have you ever felt suddenly as if you'd taken a big stimulant--a cocktail, or a highball--and the whole world was going around and nothing was asleep except your feet?
 Well--that's the way I felt when ] al last made up my mind to beard the lion in his den"-that exhliration thai comes of enthusiasm. of ambition, of the determination to win.
 So to make a long story short as the big touring car skinned along the glassy rperfectly smooth roads and we again drew up at General Huerta's home, this time I didn't have "cold feet" no: moi even sleepy feet, but with one dash out of the box presented myself at the door

 Again in July, 1914, she wrote: All of the unjust stories about the characteristics and habits of General Huerta are attacks of the enemy. Gen eral Huerta says, I am Indian. I don { suppose for one minute that this Presi- dent Huerta Is a saint. No saint could work the government of Mexico. This country needs the Indian, the nerve. the decision, the acts of something way be- yond the understanding of either saints or old school orthodoxy. But with the
 unnecessary need of the saint and old schools there must be the judgment that
 works to the minute. hour. day, week
 and month. and the never letting down of iron rule. No one understands this better than General Huerta. Could a man who was himself controlled by iii- toxicants hold these people in subjecton? These days of disappearing, these days of dissipation that the enemy, the sen- sationalist continually heralds would up- set the whole regime of government here. The facts refute the libel. Men who have known Huerta intimately and long say they have never seen him intoxicated.
 They speak of him as wonderful man.
 wonderful general. and whether or not the recognition of Huerta as President and Mexico as government would settle for all time these revolutions, they all say for the present the recognition should come. Whether 1t comes or not the gov ernment here will continue and General Huerta must stand to protect 1t. There could be no greater disaster than his resignation"
 It was today two weeks ago that had the pleasure of meeting General and Se- nora Huerta and their charming family 28 in number-oh. no; not all their own children-eight of them belonging to their immediate family five of whom are mar ried) while the rest are labeled "grandchil- dren."

 It is true that nature and woman 3 work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind 8 remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is recognized from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health - many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; and in some cases that it has saved them from surgical operations.

"Who killed Madero?"
 The words flashed across the wires nor many moons ago from antipode to anti pode.
 The world at large sat up and took notice.
 Who killed Madero?'
 Again the question was uttered with d Who Killed Cock Robin" like expression which came and went, carrying with it an endless chain of talk which the newspa- l. pers, magazines and periodicals of every description snatched from the telegraph instruments and made copy of which startled the universe in their multiplicity of theories and ideas concerning the real answer.
 Down in Mexico nobody seemed to care, so those who know have stated.
 In the conditions that existed there at that time it a. rears that 1t was only a question of time soon or later when Mad ero in some way had to step down and out, or be put out in one way or an- other. How. or by whom, mattered little.

Joe Jackson Uses Bad
Tactics at First Base
Morgan Is Subject of "Rough Work" Adopted by Man
Whom Birmingham Saw Fit to Drag Into
The Cleveland Infields
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

DETROIT, May 27.-If Charlie
Somers' judgment in releasing Joe
Birmingham is to be vindicated by
the great performances of Joe Jack
son, the Indians slugger, around first
base 1T is not likely that Cleveland
fans will long endure conditions GER
tain to arise. Joe Jackson is no first
baseman. Then, too, he is sure to
be injured by some opposing player,
unless he rapidly changes his meth
DDS.
An incident happening in that
twelve-inning defeat of the Griffmen
illustrates the unsuitableness of
Jackson for an infield berth. When
Morgan was sliding back 20 the bag
under throw from the pitcher, Jack
son caught the ball and, without
looking, swung his hand around with
all the speed he could. Morgan was
foot under the swing and escaped,
but had that hand enclosing the ball
collided with his head, he might have
been knocked unconscious, if not
more seriously injured.
The Griffmens little second baseman
| realized instantly how close a call he
had. and didn't hesitate to tell jackson
| what he thought of him. The latter.
for once, showed sense and made no
reply. But with some player who will
come back at him. jackson may find
, trouble marked out for him. There are
any number of players in this league
who will spike jackson at the first op-
portunitY. and there are any number
| coming UP all the time at the initial
sack.
Joe Jackson Is the same circus per-
former at first base that he has alwtys
been in the outteld. He is really
great hitter. a pretty good outfielder.
and a fair first baseman. OF course.
there is much for him to learn about
