Lump Sums from Industrial Fund.

In response to requests from a mum.
Der of persons who are drawing COM
pensation from the state insur-
ance fund for accidents which have
resulted in death, the State Industrial
Commission has made a ruling that
lump sum settlements will be made
siA months after the accident if the
petitioners can prove that such set
tlement would be beneficial. If a
widow, for example, has the opportu-
nifty to make a good investment and
can prove this to the commission, the
commission will make the settlement.
1t must be shown first, however, that
the settlement will be "for the best
interests of the party" and that the
sum will be used for a good invest
ment.

APPLE juice TROUBLE.

Denver-The incorrigible tendency
of apple juice to go wrong and get
into bad company again is vexing the
sovereign state of Colorado The
states scientists, having failed repeat
edly to make cider behave as be-
comes the inmate of a prohibition
state, have passed the problems back
to the interpreters of the law. Ap-
parently the latter must stop the
making of cider entirely, thereby de-
stroying large Colorado industry
and robbing the farmer of his cher
ished beverage, or they must compro-
mise with the manufacturers.
A committee of these manufactur-
ers from the fruit-growing districts,
after a conference with Governor
Carlson and John Lynch, state pure
food commissioner, asked for an opin-
ion from Attorney General Fred Far
rar. They suggest that they be al
lowed to pass the question to the re-
taller.
I'VE will make the cider" they say,
in manner to discourage as much
as possible the subsequent appear
ance of alcohol in prohibited quanti-
ties. We will sell it to the retail
ers and let them bear the RESPONSE
bility of getting it to and into the con-
sumer before it becomes intoxicating.
This is possible, if proper precautions
are taken"
The attorney generals office says
it will take the proposal under con-
sideration.
The question is delicate one. Gov
ernor Carlson and Mr. Farrar have
ruled in the past that, unless cider
could be treated so that it would
never ferment to the point of becom-
ing an alcoholic stimulant, it must
be prescribed. State Pure Food Com
missioner John Lynch and Dr. John
B. Ekeley, state chemist and profes-
sor of chemistry at the University of
Colorado declare it cannot be so treat
ed without coming under the ban of
Uncle Sans pure food law.

MEXICAN WAR CLOUD LIFTS AS

ON U. S. OCCUPATION.
BASEINC DUBLAN
TERMS OF TENTATIVE AGREE
MENT REPORTED ACCEPT
ABLE TO cARRANzA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
El Paso, May 4.-Maj. Gen. Hugh L.
Scott and Mexican Minister of War
Alvaro Obregon, at a conference
which lasted twelve hours, came to an
understanding which temporarily dis.
pels the Mexican war cloud.
The tentative agreement was re.
duced in writing and will be submit.
ted to the United States and Mexican
governments for ratification.
The essential points agreed upon by
Generals Scott and Obregon are re
ported from an authoritative source to
be:
First t. That the United States
troops will remain on Mexican soil
until order is restored in northern
Mexico, or such time as the officials
of the de facto government have dem
onstrated their ability to cope with
lawlessness.
Second-That Colonia Dublan will
be made the base of operations for
the American troops instead of points
farther south.
ihiiu mat lhe ue ldClo govern
ment will consent to the use of the
Mexico Northwestern railroad for the
transportation of supplies from the
border to Colonia Dublan.
Gen. Obregon issued statement to
the Associated Press in which he
said:
"As result of the conference with
Gen. Scott, the atmosphere seems now
completely cleared up. There is a
much better feeling between Ameri-
cans and Mexicans, and all tension
seems vanished"
1t was reported on good authority
that Gen. Obregon had received as.
surances from Queretaro that the
terms of the tentative agreement
would be acceptable to Gen. Carranza

notice of Indianapolis by committee
which met recently at the colored
Y. M. C. A. 1t is desired that at
least $780, 900 of the endowment be OBJ
tanned from colored people throughout
the United States. The committee
organized in this city formed subscrip-
ton teams. Contributions were asked
only from the colored people, although
any person desiring to participate in
the general fund might do so by send
ing a subscription direct to the col
ored Y. M. C. A. 1t was hoped by the
committee that at least $4,000 would
be raised among the Negroes of In
dianapolis. Receipts were given for
all amounts. and S. or more entitled
the subscriber to certificate of rec
ognition from Tuskegee. The commit
tee ought to experience no great diff
ticulty in obtaining considerably more
than $1,000 from the colored people
of indianapolis. The city contains a
great many of this race. not a few
of whom have been successful in busi-
ness or the professions. Indianapolis

Villistas 1S miles southeast OF
Bachiniva and killed between 40 and
so of them without single American
trooper being wounded.
Although reports from the front
have made no direct mention of Ma

was with his command when it start
ed on its pilgrimage into Mexico, hav-
ing been recalled from Liberia to re-
join the Tenth just before the trou-

find a way for anything they think is

convinced that it is worth while and
nobody can do better than the Negro
teacher, and no one demonstrated this
more conclusively, more effectively
or more beautifully than the man in
whose memory we are gathered to-
gether.
I'VE, as teachers must, first of all,

era when we are expected to practice
what we preach. Let us take firm

like flint against the loafing. worth

us follow Doctor Washington in teach
ing the members of our race the neces-
sity of decent living, and the beauty
and dignity of labor. For, indeed, we
have more to fear from the lazy, shift

from any race prejudice in Alabama.
And let us remember that in the solu-

We do not believe the wireless sta

appreciated until election night.
From about $3.50 Tuesday evening
until $3.50 Wednesday morning bull
letins were received every five min
utes over the wireless and phoned to
the Chronicle Office The wireless re-
ports were from thirty to forty-five
minutes ahead of the Bell and West
ern Union. These messages were re-
ceived from Ames and Chicago, and
on Thursday the local station was. in
communication with Denver. At the
present time we are told there is
quite an amount OF commercial mes
sages being dispatched and received
at this station. The weather report
is received every day at noon from
Ames and then phoned to the Chron-
icle Office where it is posted. Returns
from all the important ball games
have been received and posted. To
our mind the wireless will soon be a
heavy competitor with the Bell and

important cities now have CONNER

"Of course said Miss Rankin, Il
know I'll be the first woman member
of congress, but l won't be the last
and believe I'll be received with
courtesy and as an equal by those
eastern congressman, even though
they are enemies of suffrage. While
working for suffrage in the east
found that no matter how strenu-
ously our opponents fought us they
were always ready to hear our side.'
In addition to her hour day and
equal wage laws, Miss Rankin in
tends to fight for woman suffrage
from the moment she gets into the
capital.
