for a man to give up his rights for his
duties. / present the subject in the
concrete- First rights and duties are
reciprocal. Second, there are rights
that should be sacrificed for the sake
OF duty. AS Paul did his in not eating
meat offered to idols, for the sake of
the weak conscience of his brother, so
could this principle be applied to the
strong man who could drink in moder-
alton stopping the habit for the sake
of others. She Savior came to be of
secured when we maintain the rights
of others. The Savious came to be of
service and He gave His life as a
ransom for many. This principle Of
performance of duty to others is the
Golden Rule A man that would have
friends must make himself friendly.
Young gentlemen of the graduating
class you have been rehearsing at COL
lege in its conflicts and combats the
life outside. Now put in practice, Nas
actors in the world, what you have
learned in college. A monk desired a
vision of the Master. 1t came to his
cell in all the glory of celestial splen
dor. 1t gave new beauty to his lonely
cell. With rapt pleasure he delighted
in the pure atmosphere and the mag
nificent presence Of the Master. Then
the convent bell rang for him to go to
his duty of giving the aims of the
house to the poor. He rebelled. Why
should leave? l have a right to stay.
He answered the call of obligation.
All day he went the round of the me-
nial duties of his office. At eve, with
leaden feet, he returned to his cell ex-
pecting it to be all the more dreary
because of the glory he had witnessed
in the morning. Lo, there he found
his Saviour in more beautiful form
and with greater lustre Than before,
who saiG to him: "Hadst thou stayed,
| would have feo."

President Wilson issued call yes
terday afternoon to the National Guard
Organizations OF every state in the
Union for service on the Mexican bor-
der.
Although the purpose of the action
as set forth in the formal call is for
the protection of the American frontier
from invasion. the opinion prevails
throughout Washington that it marks
the first step of intervention in Mexico
For more than three years President
Wilson has exhausted every other ex-
pedient practically in an effort to
avoid such Il step
Washington is the scene of intense
excitement. The War Department was
lighted up last night from the base
ment to the roof The action is un-
derstod to have been precipitated by a
dispatch from General Funston pre-
dieting trouble along the Rio Grande
in an effort on the part of Mexicans
to force the Americans to withdraw
from Mxeican soil.
A number of lengthy reports were
received from the Department during
the day but Secretary Baker refused to
make their contents public. Conf
Dental advices were received at Ell
Paso, Texas, yesterday afternoon that
First Chief Carranza had sent an ulti-
matum to President Wilson advising
him that If American troops are not
removed from Mexico in seven days
a state of war will be considered as
existing between the United States and
Mexico, and that at the end of this
time stipulated all armed Americans
remaining in Mexico will be treated
as invaders.
The Maryland militia has been or
dered out for active service. From the
War Department in Washington yes
terday orders were issued that the
troops be mobilized and held in instant
readiness for a summons to the bor-
der of Mexico. This means that the
First Fourth and Fifth Regiments, -
forming brigade; Battery A. Field Ar
tiliery; Troop A, Cavalry; field hos
pital and an ambulance company OF
this State will mobilize.
They will concentrate at Laurel and
will await orders to be sent to the
border. The order from the War De-
partment was received by Governor
Harrington at Cambridge ct IL o'clock
last evening. 1t was read to him from
Annapolis by his secretary over the
long-distance telephone.
Governor Harrington communicated
the order Immediately to Adjutant-
General Henry M. Warffield. He also
informed General Warfield that he
would sign the official order for the
mobilization of the Maryland troops
as soon as he reached Annapolis today.
Having already been apprised OF
the official order, General Warfeld,
before receiving the Governors mes
sage. had issued unofficial orders to
Brigadier General Gather to begin the
work of assembling the troops imme-
diately. General Gather informed the
Adjutant General that he and his staff
would be at headquarters at O'Clock
this morning and the work would be
undertaken at once
The order to proceed may come at
once; it may not come until later when

increase the patrol: there is a pOSsl-

Grand JURY MEETS
IN SPECIAL SESSION
Keen Interest in Re-COnvening Of
Of Grand Inquest Today.
"JACK" FLOOD PRESENT.
DR.. Davis Of the Lords Day Alliance
Also Here---Murder case Will
Probably Come Up.

The special session of the Grand jury
called by Judge James Brashears, met
this morning. and as usual, the pro-
ceedings are secret, however, the de-
velopmeuts are looked forward to with
rare interest as it is known that DR..
w. w. Davis, of the Lords Day Alli-
ance is in the city, as well as several
witnesses summoned to testify.
1t is understood that these men will
testify that they bought liquor on
Sunday in certain places, openly and
without any registering whatsoever.
jack Flood. q proprietor of a park
in the upper part of the county Is also
here and it it said for the purpose of
offering testimony in his own behalf.
1t would seem thst with the evidence
as carefully prepared as this Is some
results will be obtained.
1t has been long fight to break up
the practice OF some Of the resorts and
other places in Anne Arundel county.
of selling liquor on Sunday. in direct
violation of the law. Heretofore,
there have been witnesses summoned
to testify. but there has always been
loop hole, and the practice went on
as usual. However. this Grand Jury
seems to be determined to break IL up
and with the evidence at and, it should
be possible.
1t is the opinion Of DR.. Davis and
others that they "have 1t on them this
time"
Some other cases of interest will be
presented to the Grand Jury at this
session, including that of Henrietta
Wallace and Richard Wenn. charged

10 o'clock and bought him bottle o
beer. paying for it herself. He haC
asked to go home with her and she haC
consented. They walked 10 the hous,
and he remained standing in the from
door while she entered the house anC
removed her hat, skirt and shoes, goins
upstairs a few minutes later to take
care of the baby, as her mother hat
called her to do.
She had been in the room possibly
fifteen minutes taking care of the child
when she heard a noise of someone
Iaiiing on the stairs and heard Simms
say oh, Lordy' three times. She did
not go back downstairs at all, but saw
Simms lying on the stairs when her
rather went for help. Several quest
ions were asked during the hearing
| an effort to establish the fact that
Slmms had been led to believe that
the child was his, as he had purchased
milk for it on several occasions.
Wenn's story was the most clear of
all although in parts it bore marks of
having been carefully rehearsed. To
the imaginative mind it presented a
scene of passion-crazed people, a fight
and a man dying on the stairs from a
knife wound. He told how he had met
Henrietta at Martins and that she had
asked him to go home with her. On
arriving at the house they had gone in
the front room and were seated on the
lounge, while Henrietta removed her
outer garments and shoes. Simms en-
tered from the kitchen with a knife
raised in his hand in a threatening
attitude and told him to get out. That
he was thoroughly scared and had run
catching up bottle and throwing it
back handed as he ran from the door
How he saw Henrietta hit Simm's
wrist and take the knife from him and
saw her thrust the knife toward Simms
as Simms backed away from her to-
ward the kitchen.
Hc ran across the road and STAYED
there until Henrietta came tc the door
and said: What you can't do for
youself / can do for you" He return
ed to the house and saw Henrietta
come downstairs with a package of
underclothes covered with blood.
What became of these clothes was not
brought out. None of those questioned
could identify the knife with which it
is supposed Simms was killed. 1t is
an extraordinary knife. with a heavy
handle and blade about four inches
long, and straight across the edge,not
having sharp point. 1t has a large
ring in the handle and is supposed to
have had chain attached when Simms
held it, according to Wenn's story.
AT the conclusion Of the conclusion
of the trial the jury held Henrietta
Wallace and Richard Wenn for the
grand jury and the case will be pre-
serted at once, as a special session Of
that body began this morning.
Much Indignation is felt at such a
brutal murder and there is a strong
feeling that the guilty party or parties
should receive the full measure of the
law. Some of the details of the crime
brought out at the hearing were ex-
tremely disgusting and unprintahle.
