through agents with Gen. Carranza and
Gen. villa and through the Brazilian
legation in Mexico City itself.
| The Mexican embassy here imme-
dtatelv after the downfall of Huerta
was deserted by Charge Algara. who
| had held over from the administration
! of President Madero. and when. with
the landing of American troops at
Vera Cruz Mr.. Algara went to Canada
the embassy was closed. Later Gen.
CarranZa's agents took possession and
maintained the position of confidential
agent.
Dealt Through Agents.
As such the State Department dealt
with them informally in the same man.
uer as IL received Gen. Villas agents.
With the recognition of the CarranZa
government by the pan-Amerfcan con-
ference the United States received Mr..
Arredondo to the exclusion OF agents
of all other factions.
The part he took in giving the pan
American conference assurances which
led to the recognition of the Carranza
government made 1t practically GER
,ain that he would be Gen. CarranZa' s
selection for his first ambassador.
AS Mr. Arredondo is Gen. Carranza' S
cousin. he enjoys the generals closest
confidence, and, in addition to being
one of the leading turists of his coun-
try, he has taken leading part in
many public affairs.
Americas Lead Followed.
( Practically all the principal powers of
the world with the exception of Japan
now have followed the lead of the pam
! American nations ard recognized Gen.
Carranza's government. Some of them
have maintained diplomatic representa-
l
ton period and many Of them probab bly,
will remain.
| Gen. Carranza now is at Saltillo, and
| II is believed that before the end of
| the month he will be in Mexico CITY.
| His selection of an ambassador to the
| United States is the first in the long
| list Of diplomatic appointments he will
have to make, and 1t is believed that
| other appointments will follow rapidly
| until diplomatic relations with ~
countries are restored.

Dormitory for Colored Women.

An estimate of $4,000 is submitted for
an additional dormitory for colored
women at the Home for the Aged and
Infirm. The purchase of a small auto
truck for the use by the superintendent
in hauling small freight to and from the
city is urged. as is also the purchase of a
fifteen-acre tract Of land which imme-
diately adjoins the buildings of the In
stitution. An estimate of $4,000 for
electric generators to replace those now
in use, which are declared liable to break
down, is asked for.
The number Of lodgings furnished at
the Municipal Lodging House was 1888
An estimate OF $4,000 is submitted for
the purchase of land and the erection of
new building for this institution.
The average number of District insane
in the Government Hospital for the In

an increase of %.
An estimate of $3.50 for the purcha Sc
OF three motor ambulances to take the

Hospital Staff Praised.
Great credit is given the members
of the attending staff at the hospital,
under adverse conditions 1t Is de-
clared relief Of a substantial character
can come only with the erection Of the
new hospital plant
The daily average number of free
patients treated at the various hos
pitfalls subject to the supervision Of the
board during the past year was s12, as
compared with $40 the preceding year.
The daily average population Of the
tuberculosis Hospital last year was
124. as compared with 103 during the
previous year. Because of the con-
tinued demand for additional accomno-
dations the board states it has sub
mitted an estimate Of $4,000 to pro-
vide for additional patients by the
erection of small buildings or shacks
similar to those now in use.
Again the Importance of increasing
the force of placing and investigating
officers of the board Of children's
guardians Is urged. One additional Of
flcer was allowed by Congress last
year, but the board now asks that two
more be allowed.
The daily average population Of the
Industrial Home School for White
Children was 143, while the average in
the Home School for Colored Children
was seventy-six.
The creating of an institution to care
for feeble-minded children is urged. 1t
is declared the subject of the care of
such children is receiving considera-
ton throughout the country, and one
state after another Is establishing in
stitutions for the care and permanent
segregation of this class of dependents.
1t Is stated recent census of the num-
Der of feeble minded in the District
needing custodial care was made by the
children's bureau, which showed the to-
tai number to be 1913. Congress is
urged to give the subject early con-
sideration.

GETTING READY
Local Baseball Association viii Soon
Open Training Season for Team

On next Sunday the schedule COM
mittee of the Arkansas Valley League
will meet and arrange the schedule
Of games for the season. If possible
it will provide for four home games
with each team at each town, thus
making a twenty-four game series.
Each game will be called at 2:3O
o'clock unless rain interferes and be
played out regardless of train sched-
ules. The Santa Fe train schedule
just now is very favorable, but no
change of schedule will be allowed to
affect the playing of the games sched-
uled if weather permits. The UNI
pires have been given more authority
this year also and this will materially
improve the character of the sport
Manager Knause of Rocky Ford,
whose energy is responsible for that
city capturing last seasons pennant,
is not satisfied to stand pat with his
team, but has materially strengthened
it by adding Starr, the heavy hitting
and game pitcher of last years La
Junta team, and Whalen, a catcher
from the Utah league. He will have
all of the old men but Catcher Hover
who has gone to the Kansas City
federals.
The La Junta merchants have come
to the front with enthusiastic financial
support for the team, and while no
definite announcement of players has
yet been made it is certain that they
will have strong team in the race.
Las Animas has about decided to
halve its schedule of home games with
Fort Lyon and by the aid of the fine
bunch of players there will have a
strong team in the race.
The finance committee of the La
mar team, r. l.. Christy, Frank Say
Ter and w. B. Gordon were out this
week collecting subscriptions for the
additional money over estimated gate
receipts which will be necessary to
finance the local team. They are meet
ing with great success and as a large
amount of good material is here for
a team this year, it is only necessary
to insure the financial support to en-
able Manager Burger to get his line
up for the spring training season.
He. has decided not to take his squat
as far as Havana for their training
trip, but may go to Holly and Hart
man.

Still They Come

Register A. l.. Beavers informs US
that there were 1876 filings at the
land office during last week, breaking
all records for many moons. Since
the first of February there have been
over five hundred filings most of
which have been for half sections. In
addition there have been 10 con-
tests filed which mean new filings on
all that may be cancelled. The line
of strangers in the land office grows
longer each day and it now looks as
if the opening of good weather will
see an unprecedented rush for what
is left of our public domain. The
range is being spoiled for stock rails
ing purposes on a large scale and let
us hope that the new Corners will es-
tablish enough little fiocks to take
the place of the big ones driven away.

The Missouri legislature has risen
to heights of extravaganza which ev-
en- the 63rd Congress never dreamed
of. They adjourned last week after
squandering all the states funds,
overdrawing every account even their
own. In fact they quit owing them
selves $4,000. But as every other
fund was in the same fix, they sold
their certificates for what they could
get and hurried home. They wouldn't
stay long when there was no more
money to spend.

Fourteen cars of northern Colorado
beet pulp steers arrived, and sold at
SIPS to $7.70, a few bulls included at
$500, cows at $3.50 to $3.50. In the
quarantine division there were nine
teen cars, steers at $3.50 to sos, the
top steers having received an offer
of S6.35 in TT. Worth last Friday,
enroute. Quarantine sales were call
ed strong to 10 higher. In stockers
and feeders the demand is increasing
in a healthy way, range of prices
S6.75 to $3.50 in most cases. Hogs sold
stronger late last week and prices are
strong to higher today, receipts
$500. Order buyers paid up to $685.,
and brought freely around $3.50, the
packers buying most Of their hogs at
S6.7O to $675, common stuff at $685..
A bullish feeling permeates the hog
house atmosphere, and some bets were
offered today that tops would go up
above 81 this week Receipts are not
burdensome anywhere except at mar
kets getting hogs out Of Minnesota
and the Dakotas in which region hog
raising is showing the effect of i'm
mense effort. Sheep and lambs lost
a little ground the middle of the week
but returning strength was evident at
the close and prices are strong to 10
higher today, which caused some hur-
rying on the part of the buyers after
it was discovered. Probably one-half
the total receipts were prime lambs
that sold at the top price S975, others
selling at $685. to 1855, prime ewes
$7.75, yearlings worth $3.50, wethers
$500, bulk around S5.25. About four
thousand northern Colorado lambs
were included, three thousand of
which brought the top price, weights
up to So pounds.

MARKET is STRONG
Lighter Receipts at the Kansas City
Yards Tend to Increase Prices on
All Grades of Cattle and Hogs
Choice Fat Lambs Bring S9.75.

Kansas City Stock Yards, March %.
1915.-Light receipts of cattle after
Tuesday last week arrested the de-
cline in prices, and repair work
amounting to 10 to 20 cents was done
by the end of the week. Killers claim
that the beef outlet is very bad, and
say it is further clogged by consign-
ments of dressed beef intended for
export, which could not secure pass
age across the ocean, and which have
to sell in New York. Foreign beef
prices are high enough to pay the
exporter but inability to get beef
across nullifies the good market in
that direction. Receipts today are
$500 head, and the market is steady
to strong on steers, 10 higher on cows,
strong on stockers and feeders. Beef
steers brought Ss.35 last week, but
nothing choice was here today top
IS, bulk of native steers 81 to IS.
