WOODWARD BROOK.

Miss Angie Hookstra of Roseland
arrived at the G.. F. Liepitz home last
week, where she will be employed for
a time.
The outdoor Farmers club meeting
last Friday was a success and quite a
crowd attended, Prof. Garrison was
the speaker of the day and held the
attention of his listeners. Everybody
present reports a pleasant time.
The statement that a Ford will run
half way home on it's reputation is a
gross misstatement and the contrary
was proved last Sunday. If you don't
believe it ask Slagter.
A great change has come over the
household, our rights have been cur
tailed and our privileges have been
removed. Heretofore wnen we were
cross and needed diversion we could
slam the door, kick the chairs around
dance jig or do anything that would
give vent to our feelings. But now all
this has changed for, 10 and behold
there is a baby in the house. Sinh
close that door SOFTLY; don't make sc
much noise with that chair, and a
thousand and one similar warnings
come our way continually, and we'll we
know the wisdom Of taking notice OF
we will soon be startled by cry that
makes it evident that there is baby
in the house. But if left undisturbed
the little fellow sleeps or COOS con-
tentedly while kind friends and neigh
bors drop in and size him up from
every angle and discuss how much
he looks like his father or mother.

Committeeman
Entrance of Rorer A. James
Into Race is Per-
picking
GLAss's SUPPORTERS
Congressman From Lynchburg De-
cides He Will Not Step Aside for
Man From Danville

Washington, May, 5-While Rep
resentative Carter Glass has never in
tended to engage in Il formal cam
pagn for the position of national
committeeman, it can be definitely
stated that he will accept the berth
if it is rendered him by the Roanoke
convention, Notwithstanding the avow-
ed candidacy Of former State Sena-
tor Rorer A. James, of Danville. In
other words, the Lynchburg Con-
gressman will not himself make any
aggressive or organized contest for
the place, but his name will 60 be-
fore the State convention, regard
less of whether or not Mr.. James
and his friends bitterly fight him.
Mr.. Glass's candidacy for the ma
tional committee membership from
Virginia is the result of suggestions
from Senator Martin and Representa-
tive Flood, who promised him their
support in the event he permitted the
use Of his name. Later, Representa-
tives Hay, Watson, Holland, Jones:
and Montague voluntarily offered
their support should he be- a candi-
date. During the past few days, since
Mr.. James entered the race. Repre-
sentatives Hay, Flood, Watson, Hol-
land. Jones and Montague have rel
terated to Mr.. Glass their intention
Of supporting him before the Roanoke
convention.
The Virginia Democratic leaders in
Washington are plainly embarrassed
by Mr.. James's candidacy in view OF
their promises to Mr.. Glass. They
feel that they are responsible for Mr..
Glass's announcement, as they had
urged him to stand for national COM
mitteeman in view of the conspicu-
Gus service he has rendered the De-
mocratic party and the Wilson ad-
ministration in Congress They felt
that recognition was coming to him
from the Democracy of his own State.
Mr.. James and many Of the Virginia
leaders in Washington are warm
personal friends. They also realize
that he has a claim upon their in
Auences for any party honors he may
desire. Therefore, Mr.. James's candi-
dacy. coming as it did after the big
party leaders in Washington had urg
ed Mr.. Glass to become a candidate
and promised him their support when
he consented, has created serious en-
barrassment.
Senator Martin last night stated
that he could not discuss the situation
arising out of the candidacy Of Mr..
James. Mr.. Glass also declined to
discuss the matter.
The Democratic leaders are making
efforts to straghten out the situation.

WILL LAND MARINES.
Commander Crosley Sends Warning
to the Dominican Officials.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Repuh-
lie, May 5.-Commander W. S. Cros-
lev, of the United States converted
cruiser Prairie, yesterday sent
note to the president of the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies advising them
of the probable landing of forces from
the warship for the protection of the
American Legation and warning them
that severe steps would be taken in
case the marines were molested. Con-
siderable patriotic excitement was
caused by the notice.
William w. Russell, the American
minister, yesterday conferred with
the presidents of the Supreme Court,
the Senate and the Chamber of Depu-
ties, who requested the minister to
prevent landing of American forces
AS a result of the conference it was
decided to ask President Jiminez to
appoint civil officers and forces of
the rural guards to maintain order
in the city.
Washington, May 5.-Rear Admir-
al Caperton, commanding the Ameri-
can naval forces in Dominican waters,
is under broad instructions to use
whatever force is necessary to main
tain the constitutional government
in the Dominican Republic. The Ad-
miral recently went 70: the capital
with instructions from Washington
which declared the United States
considered the impeachment of Pres
ident Jimenes tninly veiled rev.
olutionar yplot. If necessary, Ad-
miral Caperton may land blue-jackets
and marines.
The Senate yesterday voted to give
the president an eight.day respite to
appear and answer the charges
against him.

Tentative Agreement Be-
tween Scott and Obre-
gon Acceptable
CORDIAL RELATIONS
Ratification of Plan Will Dispose of
Disturbing Situation in Northern
Mexico 4 ;N;S

Washington, May s. President
Wilson announced last night that the
tentative agreement between Gener-
ais Scott and Obregon regarding the
future operations of the American
and Mexican military forces in MeXi-
CO, "provides basis of cooperation
which promises to prevent misunder-
standings and strengthens the cordial
relations fthe two republics"
Although there was no formal an
nouncement of the action, notification
that the Scott-Obregon agreement is
acceptable to the American govern
ment was telegraphed to Gen. Scott
at Ell Paso last night by Secretary
Baker Gen. Scott is authorized to eX-
change formal acceptances with Gen.
Obregon, as soon as the latter has
obtained approval of Gen. Carranza,
and officials here are confident that
will be tomorrow or Saturday.
President Wilson issued this state
ment:
"I have examined, with the Secre-
tary of War, the report made by Gen.
Hugh l.. Scott, of the conference be-
tween him and Gen. Obregon, Sec
retary of War of the republic of Mexi-
co.
"The report includes tentative
agreement covering the future opera
tions of both the American and Mexi-
can military forces and evidences cor
dial cooperation between the two
governments in their common purpose.
"As this agreement is being submit
ted to the de facto government OF
Mexico, it would not be proper for
me to permit its publication until that
government has had an opportunity
to examine and consider its provisions.
The full text Of the proposed agree
ment will be given out Immediately
upon it's acceptance by both govern
ments. In general may say that it
provides basis of cooperation which
promises to prevent misunderstanding
and strengthens the cordial relations
of the two republics"

Victim Cruelty Mistreated and Muir.
dered by Man

Philadelphia, May 4-The body of
S-year7old Richard ;Meekins, cruelty
mistreated and murdered by a man
who abducted him November 90 last,
was found yesterday. A, mans hand
kerchief, knotted about the child's
neck, showed he had been strangled.
Little Richards body lay, covered
by brush, on a piece of high land in
a marsh, at a point that is approxi-
mately Sixty-ninth street and Botanic
road
The spot is identical with that
marked on rude map traced on the
back of an anonymous letter received
by the child victims parents, Janu-
ary 90. The writer of the letter said
he had kidnapped Richard and init
mated he had killed him December s..
Parents of the lad were notified,
and the father met the patrol wagon
as it carried the body, little more
than a skeleton, to the morgue. A
glance at the clothing confirmed his
| fears.
"It's my poor little boy" he sobbed
Mrs. Meekins, who had hoped and
prayed for the safe return of hel
boy, is in state of nervous collapse
She had confidently hoped the child
would be restored to her, and al
Christmas she trimmed tree tor hin
and bought some little gifts. Easter
found bunny in a basket awaiting
Richards return.
