IGNORANCE IS FATAL
 TO ONE-YEAR BABIES
Fifty Per Cent of These Could Be Saved, Declares DOctOr-Diluted " Cows Milk With Sugar Best
 Artificial Food

New Orleans, May 2.---How to de- crease the infant mortality rate by proper feeding and care of the baby during the first year and the duties of the visiting nurse in infant welfare work were discussed in papers read late today at the session Of the three national organizations of nurses in con vention here pr. Walter Hoffman of Chicago and Alice Hall of Providence, R. l., were among those who presented papers.
 Ignorance kills a large percentage of first year babies, said Dr. Hoffman. eVital statistics show that out of 100 babies who die during the first year, |SO have been bottle-fed and it is g conservative estimate that 50 per cent of these could be saved if properly cared for. Most children are born to keep the we'll babies we'll It is not so much the curing of the sick baby that lowers the death rate as the pre- vention of sickness"
 Dr. Hoffman urged the weighing of the baby at least once week, declar- ing weight was the best guide to judge its development. He advised simple dilutions of cows milk with additions of sugar as the best artificial baby food. Rules for proper feeding of ba- bies were also given.
 This is the day and age for the
 child,' Miss Hall asserted. "A few years ago you could not get busy peo- pie to listen when you talked about infants, but now they will listen and try to do something. Children should be trained early in home making and food values. thereby making social conditions for the future less diff ficult problem The Infant welfare nurse was described as "go- o-between' visiting homes and studying conditions, seeing the need of certain changes and making others see them. Importance of proper food also was emphasized

Fight Is Similar to That Which Nearly Split Or

Washington. May 4-The National Conservation congress met here today with threatened fight on it's hands similar to the one that. nearly split the organization at its last meeting three years ago. and which ended in victory for clifford Pinchot and others who op- posed removing from public ownership any of the country's undeveloped water power sites.
 Majority and minority water power committee reports promise to precipi- tate the clash tomorrow. Speeches at today's sessions by conservationists from many parts of the country were overshadowed by the prospects of the fight considered inevitable.
 The majority water power report will recommend indorsement of the Shields bill. pending in Congress. which would permit construction of dams in 1navigable streams under licenses issued by the Secretary of War and give grantees the right to operate power plants for 50 years. The federal gov

AMALGAMATION OF
 METHODIST CHURCH
 URGED BY BISHOPS
Reunion of North and South Branches of Church Body Recon cd by General Conference ot
 Saratoga Springs

Saratoga Springs, N. r., May 2.--The recommendations of the board of bish- ops of the Methodist Episcopal church for an organic union with the Meth odist Episcopal church. south, aroused great enthusiasm today among dele gates to the general conference here. This recommendation was contained in the episcopal address, the formal ut terance of the board of bishops to the conference. which was read by Bishop John W. Hamilton of Boston.
 Each declaratior in favor of such union was met with prolonged ap- plause, and the recommendation that an Investigating committee report to the present conference cn the best methods to bring about the amalga- nation caused a demonstration of sew eral minutes duration.
 Bishop Joseph F. Berry of Philadel- phia, who presided at today's session, said:
 This hearty and unusual demonstra- ton from the heart of this body con- cerning organic union, is most signifi- cant. It would seem most appropriate that at this moment we bow our heads and silently ask Gods blessing on this movement and his guidance as to the methods to bring 1t about"
 The assemblage was hushed as all the delegates bowed their heads in silent prayer.
 Nashville, May 2.-Favorable action by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church now in session at Sara toga Springs, is all that is necessary to bring about union of the three Meth odist denominations in America. The Methodist Episcopal church. south, at its general conference in Oklahoma in 1914, adopted the report of a joint commission of the Methodist denominations which outlined plan for their organic union. The Methodist Protestant church has al- so acted favorably on the plan. If the general conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church, now in session, adopts the plan, the organic union will be accomp- lished, since the other denominations are already bound. The plan of union pro- vides for separate jurisdictions.

There is reason to believe the Amer ican officers now have authority to make concessions in the way of limit ing the zone in which General Persh- ng's forces will operate until dem tions as that of using Mexican rail
 roads to supply the American troops also may be waived, it is understood. if they embarrass the de facto govern ment in it's domestic relations. The American army officials are confident of their ability to maintain the short ened supply lines by motor truck.

DIxoN's OFFICE WRECKED

The mob first wrecked the office of w J. Dixon, superintendent or trans portation at the Edgar Thomson works Deputies rushing to prevent the destruc- tion of the office were compelled to use it as a barricade and from behind the wreekage they poured shot after shot into the mob which withdrew. After stoning the plant for 45 minutes the mob charged again, and in hand-to-hand struggle the deputies and guards were forced back inside the plant
 Deputies at the Westinghouse plants in Wilmerding and East Pittsburg were hurried to the scene, and after fierce battle the mob was forced back out of the gates and forced to run for shelter. Reports received here tonight said that two companies of state constabularv- which have been on strike duty at Wilkes Barre, Pa, have been ordered to Brad dock, and will arrive tomorrow morn ing.
 The movement started early in the day when parade was organized by Vest inghouse Electric and Manufacturing company strikers at East Pittsburg to continue their efforts to bring out the workmen in the other factories of the Turtle creek and Mononganela valleys in support of their demand for an eight hour day They had been defeated in a similar attempt yesterday. Tickets who had been stationed at number of Brad dock factories, had been worsted in en- counters with workmen and the plants of the American Steel and Wire company a United States Steel corporation sub sidiary, and number of other plants had been shut down as perfection to the employees, the management announced.
 BUILDINGS ARE STORMED
 Other plants continued to operate, however, and when the news was brought to the marching throng that the factories would have none of them, the route was changed and they stormed the buildings of the Sterling Steel Foundry company, whose em- ployes have been working eight hours day for sometime. The workmen were driven out and much damage

OFFERS COOPERATION

From Mexican sources 1t was learned today that, based upon the immediate withdrawal of the American troops. General Carranza has offered through his two representatives to place active army of 25,000 men in northe Mexico as soon as the Americans withdrawn. The offer was accompani, by assurances. it is said. that mo than half of this force would be placed as to guarantee border towr from future bandit raids. while tn remainder would be used in a vigorou pursuit of bandits.
 It was the condition of immediate American withdrawal attached to the offer, it is understood which led to the interruption of the Fl Paso con- ference, while Generals Scott and Funston laid the situation before Pres ident Wilson. They had no power to deal on that basis. There is nothing to indicate that any such power has been conferred upon them in the ad- ditional instructions sent by Secretary Baker.
 Officials maintained silence today as to the nature of the new instructions to General Scott It is believed, how ever. that he was authorized to make it clear to General Obregon that while no proposal for immediate withdrawal would be entertained, the United States would welcome a demonstration of the intention and ability of the de facto government to carry out it's pro- grainme.

2OOO CITIZENS ARE

Women Join in Mad Fight to
 Storm Plants and Two Are Injured = Deputies
 Subjected to Heavy Fire

Pittsburg, May 1.-Two men are known to have been killed, four probably fatally wounded and a score seriously hurt today when mob said by the authorities to have been composed principally of for eigners, attacked the Edgar Thomson works of the Carnegie Steel company in Braddock, where strike is in progress. A pitched battle lasting an hour followed, but the rioters were finally forced to retreat in the face of a deadly fire from riot guns and revolvers of deputy sher- ifs and plant guards. The situation is quiet tonight, but 2OoO citizens, sworn in as deputies, are patrolling the streets.
 The riot was the climax of day of dis order in the boroughs of Braddock and Rankin during which mobs stormed the plants of four big steel companies, drove the workmen out and then partly wrecked the interior of the plants.
 Snipers hidden in doorways ana Win dows near the Thirteenth street entrance tried to pick off deputies who were fight ing to hold back the mob, and two depu- ties were said to have been hit. Women also joined in. the mad fight to gain en- try to the works and two of these were wounded. The two men killed were for

Offer to Put Army of 25,OOO Men in Northern Mexico When American Troops Are Withdrawn

Washington. May 2.-Developments here in the Mexican situation awaited tonight advices from General Scott as to his further conferences With Gen eral obregon at Fl Paso. The war department had received no report from the chief of staff up to late hour.
 Administration officials declared the situation unchanged after President Wilson and his cabinet had conferred at the regular Tuesday meeting. Sec retary Baker said General Funston's original orders to pursue the Columbus raiders into Mexico still stood, as did the original purpose of the expedi- tion.
 There. was no indication tonight ot change in the determination of Pres ident Wilson not to accept any proposal of the Carranza government condi- toned on the immediate withdrawal of the American forces. This element of the suggestions presented by General Obregon and by Eliseo Arredondo, Car ranzas ambassador designate here has so far proved d stumbling block to an agreement for wider cooperation in the bandit chase.
