Investigators for the Humane So
ciety are finding amazing cases ot
physical suffering and mental agony
among the unfortunates over all Tul-
sa. They declare that the people Of
this city do not begin to realize how
much distress exists, especially among
women and underfed ragged babies
and children whose little bodies ache
with cold and hunger.
In the rickety lean-tOs Of the Ar
kansas river bottoms, with winds just
off the river blowing sand and snow
through the cracks, they find such
cases Of misery; in the crowded,
trigid rooming houses on the east and
north sides; in the squalid shack dis
tricts and many other places is found
misery and suffering
Find it?" echoed A. NJ. Welsh, in
answer to question yesterday.
Why misery has daily been growing
worse since the first Of the year
Find misery? Why just ask these
women and men workers what they
see. Don't listen long to their stories
because you may lose faith in all We
help them when the people help u.s."
said Welsh
Humane Agent Welsh looked worn
and tired yesterday. His helpers, both
men and women, looked haggard and
drawn. II is common sight to them
to see a mother with three or four
fatherless children shiverlng in a
shack furnished with a chair and one
bed; stove, but no fuel, a table, but
no food.
Supplies Exhausted.
The continued cold weather Of the
last ten days has exhausted the win
ter store of supplies Of the society.
"Foodstuffs, clothing, shoes, bed
clothes, yes, anything" said Welsh
yesterday. The workers of that de-
partment start work early and end
work late They are always and ever
lastingly on the job. But it doesn't
do any good to be on the job if they
can't succor the starving

It is up to the people to say whether

 BAIJLESHIP TO PR0GRESO, MEX.
Admiral Caperton Reports That Carranza Has Seized
 Yuoatan Railway.

Washington, March 25.-The battle. ship Georgia has been ordered tc Progreso from Vera Cruz
 This announcement was made to- day by Secretary Daniels, notWlt1- stsrding the reports from other sources that there was peace at Progreso, and that conditions there were improving.
 IL was noted that the counsellor of the British embassy was at the sta;e department again today.
 The dispatch of the battleship i. partly accounted for in a statement from Admiral Caperton, in charge al Vera Cruz, in which he said that Governor Alvarado, an appointee of Carranza has seized the Yucatan railroad. This railroad is the main channel to freight traffic for hemp with Progreso, and the seizure is ac- cepted as indicating some new move ment by Carranza to obstruct the ex- port of hemn to the United States.
 Secretary Daniels said there was no question that the money put up Dy the cOrdage companies Ill me United States would get into the hands of hemp growers at Prosreso Or their representatives.
 The state department is giving at- tentlon to the possible danger to me 29OO Americans and other foreigners who may be caught between the fires of the Carranzistas at Tamplco and the Villa forces, which the de partment understands are on the way to attack Tampico.
