SOME COMMENTS
ON STYLE AMONG
THE BALL FANS
Occupants of the Grand Stand
Notice the Features of
Mems Dress.

Out at the ball park yesterday sew
eral young men fell into a discussion
of several styles of suits. including
their own and those of others near
them.
They were attempting to judge
which were ready-made, which were
tailor made, and what the probable
costs might have been.
1t was admitted that some ready
mades were passable, but most of them
showed their source of production, and
all agreed that a suit tailored to a
mans individual measurements was
always the most satisfactory.
Coming down to their immediate
company they selected one young
mans suit as the best specimen among
themselves of the tailoring art
Questioned regarding the maker and
the cost. the wearer told them that his
garments were always designed by Mr..
Z. F. Mudd. of NJ. Stein & Co, at Eighth
and F streets, and that the particular
suit at which they We're looking was
one of STEMS Glen Crquharts," priced

Right there the men who had paid
s35 and $40 for their clothes made some

New York. April 15.-Nictoriano Huerta.
former dictator of Mexico. who is now
staying at the Hotel Ansonia. in this
city. and who has been accused by Villa
OF having come here to organize a new
revolution in Mexico, gave out a long
signed statement tonight. setting forth
his view of the Mexican situation. After
reviewing the Madero regime and the
subsequent revolution, when, Gen.
Huerta says, for ten days the streets of
the City Of Mexico ran with blood" the
statement continues:
Our congress, our senate. and our SUI
preme court of justice named me as the
Constitutional President OF the United
States of Mexico. Mr.. Modera. while be-
ing conducted to the penitentiary. died
an unnatural death. In the opinion of
some of the people of this country. I am
blamed as having taken part in execut-
ing him. l am not to blame for the
death of Madero. Time and history will
do me Justice
When 1 took charge of the ad-
ministration," he says, our treasury
was empty. I struggled along as best
I could. but l did not adopt any dras-
tic measures. I did not print any
bogus money. never called for
forcible loans. Not a single banking
institution went to the wall during my
administration. Not a single business
house shut its doors.
The heads of your administration
haven't been fair to me, but l be-
lieve they were misled by false state
ments. If your administrators had
only been in Mexico for thirdly days,
they would have changed their the
oretical, erroneous ideas.
His Blood BoiIs.
My Indian blood boils when 1 think
of the unfortunate conditions existing in
my poor country. and when 1 think that
a good clean press like the American is
led by false and artificial tricks to de-
fend a cause that is nothing moro than
one of vandalism and anarchy"
Never mind" he concluded Mexico
Will be saved by a Mexican. By a strong
Mexican. Not a bandit. Not by men
who kill for the sake of money or das-
tardly passion, but by a Mexican who
will act as a surgeon, who will cure the
sores. who will amputate the dead parts
Of the national body; and then Mexico
in a short time will revive and will be
the paradise on earth which 1t deserves
to be.
Where is the man? Who is the man?
When will the man appear? 1 do not
know"
There was a strong suspicion among
the picture which he drew Of the coming
saviour of Mexico was very like the gen.
erals description of himself.

them and to deal with union labor the
men say they will start out to work

The Navy and State departments are

consequently Washington has been in a
position to know what was going on.

MOTHERS DAY TOMORROW

Tomorrow, the second Sunday in
May, will be observed throughout all
civilized nations the Mothers Day.
Ever since President Wilson issued
last year the first national Mothers
Day" proclamation, the idea has been
taken up officially by many countries
and tomorrow the mothers, past and
present, will be universally remem
bered.
The day is observed by showing
through some distinct act of kind
ness, a visit, lette, gift or tribute
remembrance of the mother and faith
er to whom affection is due. Mothers
Day is equally Fathers Day." and
is designed to deepen and perpetuate
all family ties.
The wearing of white carnation is
the outward form of showing recogni
ton of the day. Churches of all de
nominations take up the theme, and
motherhood is placed on the high
pedestal where by right it should al
ways remain.

Eight Girls Win Coveted "v"

Now that the high school girls bas-
ket ball tournament is finished, and
everything concernng it has been said
and done, it might be well to take a
brief survey of few interesting
things pertaining to it.
In the first place, unlimited praise
is due the championship Sophomore
team. Not made up of number of
stars, but composed of six girls and
two able substitutes with lots of fight
and team work, it began at the very
bottom with a poor start and then lit
orally forced it's way to the top and
to the championship. The eight girls
winning their "V" are as follows:
Lucille Stinemetz, Gladys Phillips,
Leona Shields, Gertrude Hoffman,
Dorothy Swingley, Margaret Hinger,
Mary Crider and Agnes Ahrendt.
Also. it might be interesting TO note
the standing of the teams tourna-
ment play, and so the following is
submitted:
