CHAPMAN PARTY
IN KEENE SUNDAY
Brattleboro Delegation Likely to At
tend Some of the Meetings Big
Parade in Wilmington, N. C.

A tve-weeks campaign by DIR. J.
Wilbur Chapman and Charles NJ. Alex.
ander, evangelists, closed in Whining
ton, n. c., Sunday night and on Mon
day the party left for a week s rest.
Next Sunday they will begin a cam
paign of five weeks in Keene, y. H.,
and it is not unlikely that before the
close of the meetings in Keene a large
number of Brattleboro persons will 90
there to meet the evangehstic party
and renew the acquaintances formed
during the meetings here last fall.
The campaign in Wilmington, n c..
was marked Saturday by a big Sunday
school parade Of more than 5000. The
Morning Star of that city said in its
Sunday edition: - Probably never be
fore in the history of Wilmington has
such a parade been seen here as that
yesterday afternoon. Hundreds of tiny
tots too young and many aged women
and men too old to walk in the pro.
cession, rode in automobiles and motor
trucks, while thousands walked, includ-
ing those of all intervening ages and
of all occupations, professions and so,
cial conditions. The sight was one
never to be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. Cheers all along the line
greeted the marching throng and now
and then eyes of spectators filled with
tears through the emotions stirred by
the impressive and hallowed speeta
Gle. -
In an editorial column in length
the star said relative to the departure
of the party: "There is something pa
thetic in the thought, and the peo2ie
of Wilmington win be one-minded il
the sentiment of sorrow that time has
come TO take away DIR. Chapman and
his corps of greatly esteemed assist
ants. -

TOWNS SAFEGUARDED
FROM FURTHER RAIDS
Administration Officials Confident There
viii Be No More Attacks Like
That at Glen Springs.

WASHINGTON, May I6-American
Communities along the Mexican border
now are safe from further raids similar 10
that at Glen Springs, administration off
cials were confident today. They indicat-
cd that with additional United States
troops and national guardsmcn being dis
trbuted along the border only general
anti-Amercan outbreak beyond the bor-
der, Carranza participating, could cndan-
ger the American border towns, Such an
outbreak is considered highly improbable
by officials here. They express the belief
that the Carranza troops apparently are
being employed in special efforts TO pre-
vent future raids by outlaws and to
round up those guilty of the Glen Springs
attack.

WASHINGTON, May lG-The net re-
suit OF the military conferences held at

Scott to Secretary Lansing, has been TO
convince the Carranza government that
the United States has no other purpose
IN its operations in northern Mexico than
to stamp out brigandage, and as a conse-
quence there exists substantially an un-
written understanding that the Carranza
forces will endeavor to demonstrate their
ability to handle the situation. as a nee
essary first step toward the Withdrawal
of the American punitive expedition.
cen. Scott believes that Gen. Obreson
Is acting in good faith and that the bor-
der situation is less critical today. To
.carry out his share Of the plan Gen.
Obregon has agreed to occupy and police
the Parral district and to establish a
strong patrol line along the Mexican side
iot the Big Bend country
Another important element was cleared
up by Gen. Obregon's agreement not TO
bring the large force OF Carranza troops
!, in Sonora through Pulpit Pass into Gen.
Pershings rear
On their side Gen. Scott and Gen.
Funston assured Gen. Obregon that pre-
cautions would be taken by the Ameri-
can commanders not to dispose OF their
forces so as to embarrass the operations

der patrol on the American side would ba

Roosevelt Stickers Issued by Roosevelt
Man, Not Republican State Com
mittee-Intended for Boost.
Especial to The Reformer.)

BELLOWS FALLS, May l6.
In common with the rest of Yer
mont the town of Rockingham is today
e njoying its first primaries. The polls
opened at II o'clock, and one would
be safe i'll betting, if it WASH t against
the law to bet on elections and sim
liar events, that about % per cent of
the freedmen who took part in the
voting up to 2.30 o'clock have been
wondering what it is ali about.
Hughes stickers have been provided
and some Of them have been used. When
the fact that the stickers would be fur
nished in the larger towns came to the
attention Of A. q. Rice. a local milk
dealer and first, last and all-the-time q
Roosevelt man, he Immediately de
clared that Teddy was getting a rough
deal thereby. But he has smoothed
the path for the colonel by furnish
ing Roosevelt stickers at his own ex-
pense. Mr.. Rice is one of the strong
est Roosevelt men in northern Wind
ham county. If Teddy was one OF his
cash customers he could not be more
loyal to the biggame hunter. Ever
since that memorable day i'll 1912 when
Roosevelt and Lew Lynde OF Dummers-
ton jumped the Republican party Mr.

in furnishing the Roosevelt stickers he
feels that he is doing something to as

to by II. Nelson Jackson Of Barre in
last night s Rcformer. They are
Rice 5 Roosevelt stickers. They are
not part Of any scheme to put Teddy
in bad. They are supposed to be boost

The Republicans who would much
prefer to see Justice Hughes receive 8
larger vote than any other candidate
are wondering just how many are be
ing used. The polls will not eiose un

nomination of George Rublee Of New

eral trade commission was rejected
yesterday by the senate Senator Gal
linger, tAc Republican leader, had op-
posed the aomination for Is months
on the ground that he was ''personaI-

of the senatorial courtesy tradition
was so great that he won his point by
a vote Of - to 36 in spite of vigo-
rous and insistent fight by the admin
istration for nomination.
Mr.. Rublee, who has been serving
on the commission since soon after
it was created, will lose his post and
draw no salary for ais work unless the
senate S action is reconsidered. Five
Republicans voted for his confirmation
and IA Democrats voted against it.
After the roll call, which followed
bitter debate, Senator Hollis of New
Hampshire, who led the fight for Rub
lee, changed his vote in order to move
for reconsideration. This may be
