THE DOG

we never known n dog to wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old time friend to tag
At some more influential heel.
Tne yellowest eur ! ever knew
Was, to the boy who loved him, true
I've never known dog to show
Halfway devotion TO his friend
To seek kinder man to know
Or richer, but unto the end
The humblest dog / ever knew
Was, to the man that loved him, true
| We never known a dog to fake
Affection for a present gain,
A false display of love to make.
Some little favor to attain.
we never known n Prince or Spot
THAT seemed to be what he was not.
But ! have known dog TO fight
With all his strength to shield ;
friend
To stick with him until the end.
And have known dog to lick
The hand of him that men would Kick
And have known n dog to bear
Starvation Is pangs from day 10 la.
With him who had been glad TO shar'
His bread and meat along the way.
No dog, however mean or rude,
Is guilty of ingratitude.
The dog is listed VITA the dumb.
No voice has he to speak his creed

The proprietor of the Sunrise hotel
was arrested on Tuesday by Marshal
Chase on charge of running a dsord-
erly house. At his trial in police court
Wednesday night he pleaded guilty and
was fined 800 and costs which he

METHODIST CHURCH
REJECTS PROPOSAL
FOR NEGRO BISHOPS
Majority Affirmative Vote For Prop
osition Given By Conferences,
But Necessary TwO-Thirds
Not Reached.

Chicago, April 21.-The Methodist
Episcopal Church has rejected the
Proposition for negro bishops, ac-
cording to an announcement today by
DIR. Joseph B. Hingeley, secretary of
the general Conference. The resolu-
ton submitted to the various confer
ences received an affirmative vote of
4, 921 against negative vote Of 3,4s1,
which was $50 votes short of the nee
essary two thirds.
DR.. Hingley also announced that the
Wilmington proposition giving bishops
the right Of veto in constituting issues
was lost by majority Of 1,571 min
listers and 960 laymen.
The Colorado proposition granting
honorary privileges to retirad minis
tiers and absentee voting on constitu-
tional matters had a majority OF 2,O12
and will become law by favorable ac-
ton of the general conference at Sara
toga Springs.
These three questions have been vot-
ed on by the Methodists since 1872,
Had the resolution for bishops for
races and languages carried, negro
bishops would have been provided for
work among negro people.

FARTHEsT NORTH RAILROAD
Projected for Finnish Lapland to De-
velop Iron Ore Deposits.

(From The American Contractcr.)
A railroad is projected for Finnish
Lapland in order to make available
deposits Of iron ore in that region.
The first portion to be built, If the
scheme materializes, probably will be
from the village Of Rovaniemi, con-
nected by rail already with the port
of Kemi, on the gulf Of Bothnia, and
Sukuvaara, 81 miles distant. From
Sukuvaara further extensions Of the
line may be built to the mouth Of the
Media River, on the Arctic ocean,
whence Finland would be enabled to
export iron ore all the year round.
Eleven miles Of this link would be
in Norwegian territory. The total
length Of the line, which would be one
of the farthest north In the world,
would be 2s0 miles.

rama.


mediate interest naturally centers in
the situation as to the troops In Mexi-
co there were renewed indications
about the State Department today
that Y wholly different aspect Of the
Mexican problem was causing growing
concern. That Is the movement sup
posedly headed by Felix Diaz, nephew
Of the former Mexican dictator, for
new revolution against the de facto
Government. None Of the informa-
ton upon which the uneasiness rests
has been disclosed. It is known, how
ever, that several Mexicans in the
United States are being closely watch
ed and it is possible that shme Of the
anti American feeling in chihuahua
State which has met the troops pur-
suing villa may be attributed to this
movement. - Ns'----4---l-----
tne Dfaz movement, it Is said, has
the backing Of various elements Of
Mexicans both In Mexico and this
country. As viewed by the State De-
partment it Is understood, the acti-
vities Of these persons are the more
dangerous because they are wealthy,
while the de facto Government Is in
volved in a snarl Of financial compli-
cations when would be hard to over
cJme even III times Of complete peace.
While no definite information was
obtainable tonight, there were indica-
tions that some Washington officials
at least, thought it possible that the
Diaz interests were seeking to under
mine General Carranza among his
various commanders. Should clear
indications Of this become apparent
the attention of General Carranza
probably would be called to the sit
uation.
1t is admitted that official dis
patches had carried as a rumor the
report that Mexican officers had warn
ed General Pershing net to proceed
south Of Parral. It was learned at
the State Departemnt that q report
to this effect was transmitted some
days before the Parral incident through
consular agents. Mr.. Baker insisted
that the warning had made no change
In the Departments orders to the bor-
der forcesL
1t was indicated that a reply to
General Carranza's telegram regard
ing the clash at Parral and assert
ing that the American Government
had violated his orders and the agree
ment with the de facto Government
In entering the town would be dis.
patched soon. War Department off,
cials say the report on the incident
from KGeneral Pershing, Major Tomp-
kins and other officers Is now COM
plete. 1t has been withheld from
publication because of the flat con-
tradiction 1t contains of the Mexico
City advices from General Carranza
as to the part his troops played in the
fighting. With this report as a basis,
the Parral incident will be treated as
a matter entirely separate from the
suggestion Of the de facto Government
that the troops be withdrawn.

ly work for the codtr1es involved In
the big war snd our ebassadors and
Consuls have heen having a very busy
time keeping things straight for near
ly all the belligerents.
1t would be safer, however, for war
to be precipitated between the two
Nations with q severance Of diplomatic
relations than if they were still on
speaking terms, and this is the great
reason that men are hoping that moth
ing will occur that will result in the
return Of diplomatic officials to their
respective /lands. Things would be
strained in both countries and people
and officials wouldn't be so inclined
to fight shy Of offending the other fel-
low as in the days Of diplomatic deal
ings.
Austria-Hungary broke off diploma.
tic relations with Mexico in 1857, fol.
lowing the execution Of f'Emperor"
Maximilian, an Austrian archduke,
and until the late '90s their former
relations were not resumed. Still, no
body thought Of doing any fighting.
Peru and Chile have NO diplomatic
representatives today and Germany
and Italy are enjoying what is called
suspended intercourse but still they
are not at war, although both are on
different sides in the same war.
If the United States should break
off with Germany for the purpose Of
going on record as disappearing Of
Germany's conduct, 1t isn't at all like
ly that they would become good
friends again until after the European
war is over. 1t would also eliminate
any chances that the President of this
Republic might have In acting as a
peacemaker between the present bel
ligerents as Colonel Roosevelt when
President, did when he helped to
straighten out strife between Japan
and Russia.
If there should be war Germany
and the United States following a
severance of diplomatic relations by
reason Of q war like act on the part
of enc or both Nations, one of the first
official acts Of the United States, in all
likelihood, would be to seize the many
big German steamships now interned
i'll American ports.
Possibly, the United States would
net be obliged to send her warships
abroad, as the German Navy Is tied
up and the combined fleets Of her enc.
mics will try hard to keep them where
they are, and perhaps It wouldn't be
necessary to raise an army to defend
itself from attack, but It is very like
ly that this country would use all its
resources in furnishing guns and am
muniticn supplies for the Allies that
might tend to hasten tte end Of the
war.
The United States gould use the
German ships that she would seize
for the purpose Of ca ing supplies
to Germany torpedoed =, she would
have SO many ships lea t the end OF
the war, as it is understood the intern
ed ships must be returned at the edge
Of the struggle.
