MORGAN WILL FEED
ONLY FEW Of THEM
Only Is Of 10000 Women
Can Be Guests Of the Mag
: nate Today

New York, May 3l.-Ouly 25 of the
10000 women delegates attending the
Federated Women's Clubs National
convention here will be received today
as guests visiting the famous library
IN the home Of j. 2. Morgan No one
knows exactly who those % women viii
be; and thereby hangs a tale.
Miss Anna Maxwell Jones. chairman
of the art committee Of the General
Federation thought it would be nice
for the 10000 delegates to the biennial
meeting to visit j. Pierpont Morgan Is
famous library while they are here.
She early arranged a program which
included all the museums, art galleries
and some wealthy persons homes con
tanning objects Of interest and felt that
the uplift tour would not be complete
without a glimpse of Mr. Morgan's col.
lection Of books. So she wrote Mr..
Morgan and he sent favorable reply.
1t developed that there was mis-.
understanding somewhere, and instead
of extending the privilege to as many
clubwomen as desire to visit the library
Mr.. Morgan limited the number to
%. He sent out twenty-five engraved
invitations for today and left to Miss
Jones the task Of choosing the lucky
twenty-five.
Miss Jones declines. She told Mrs.
William Grant Brown, chairman Of the
whole biennial, that she did not lack
courage, but when it came to meeting
thousands Of western and southern wo-
men, all eager to see the inside Of that
Morgan library, and having them know
that she had left them out Of the fa.
vored party, she backed out.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUs
PrrJidfm Amoieaa SocieD for 71riG

Children are the greatest destroy
lers OF paper, a habit encouraged
lip some homes to keep the child
occupied, which clings to it in
lschooldays and often in later life
IN the business world.
Among the materials essential to
the paper industry which central Eu-
Irope has been supplying are rags, and
in 1913, when prices ranged from 2
Icents to 0 cents pound, the imports
OF rags amounted TO over two hun
dred million pounds, or $2,907,70s
These figures will give some idea OF
our wastefulness when we consider
the quantity of rags thrown away
every day with the result that VIC
have to import them from Europe.
One of the recent shining examples
OF thrift is Patrick Muidoon of Phil
adelphia. For thirty-hve years Pat.
rick Muldoon was employed around
hospital and at no time during thai
thirty-ive years did his wages exceed
$50 a month. Part of the time he
received less than $50 a month. Yei
the other day when he decided to re-
tire and take the rest he had earned
he had 1920 TO his credit. He re,
marked that he thought that sum suf-
ficient for his old age and added with
satisfaction, Il haven't fooled much
away" He began to save from his
small salary in his young manhood,
so that In his old age his savings.
would take care Of him. He did moi
i've for the pleasures Of the day, but
for the independence of the future,
and his old age is sweet with thd
Of a prudent past.

New Movements of American Soldiers To Nullify Any Advantage Mex
 jeans Might Gain.

Columbus, N. M., May 25.-A new movement of American troops along Gen. J. J. Pershing's line of commun- icatiOn made within the last forty eight hours were said to offset the re- distribution of certain Carranza com mands but no details were available at military headquarters and it was pointed out that any movements un- der way were minor and do not affect the general eXpeditionary policy.
 A quantity of shrapnel and other ammunition which arrived here from the front Monday was sent back to- day. 1t was explained that the ship ment had been consigned from Nani- uuipa to Colonia Dublan but through a mistake was carried through to Columbus.
 Several cavalry patrols are scouting through the Namiquipa district, ac- cording to fragmentary reports reach ing here, but these, it was learned, are acting merely as intelligence detach- menus.

HISTORY OF SHIN FEN
Neville Chamberlain Tells Royal Com mission of Its Activities Since It Was Organized Eleven Years Ago.

Dublin, May 25, via London, 2:43 D. m.-The royal commission appoint ed to investigate the Irish rebellion, which recently held several sittings in London, resumed it's inquiry in Dub- lin today.
 Neville Chamberlain gave evidence in regard to the methods the police adopted to obtain information the Sim Fein movement and the growth of that organization.
 The witness said the Sim Fefn so- cfety came into existence in 1905. At first it was rather moderate, but ex- tremists later obtained control. Pam phlets were circulated for the purpose of turning sentiment against the Eng fish and of combating recruiting.
 The Sim Fein party tried ineffect- lively, the witness said, to make a dis play at the time of the coronation of King George. Then came the excite ment over home rule, and the Ulster Volunteer movement suggested the es- tablishment of the Irish National Vol unteers.

'COURT.MARTIAL FOR
 TEXAS GUARDSMEN
Baker Decides 116 Must Face Trial for Ignor-
 ing Call.

Washington, May 25.-Reversing his previous decision, Secretary Baker announced today that the 116 members of the Texas National Guard who failed to present them selves for muster into the federal service will be brought to court martial immediately under the pres ent law. MT Baker had intended to await the signing of the new militia law now before the president and proceed under it's provisions
 Secretary Baker explained his action by pointing out the difference in the enlistment oaths guardsmen are required to take under the Dick law and the new ay-Chamberlain bill. The Dick law requires an obli- gation to defend the constitution and obey orders of the governor of the state, but not the orders of the presi- dent. The Hay ay-Chamberlain act re- quires an oath to obey orders of both the governor and the president.
 Upon recommendation of Judge Advocate General Crowder the secre- tary has decided that the alleged offense of the guardsmen-refusing to present" themselves for muster was committed under the Dick law and trial should be under that law
 It was stated officially at the wal department today that General Fun ston had never requested that thu Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahomt | National Guard be called out for Dor der service as reported. Genera Funston asked for additional coas artillery but the department decided it was not needed at present.

SECOND BEST NAVY IN WORLD| DEMAND IN MINORITY REPORT:
 MAJORITY'S BILL CONDEMNED
METHODISTS RETAIN
 STRICT REGULATIONS
Ban Will Continue on Thea ters, Dancing and
 Card Playing.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May 25.- The Methodist general conference re- fused today by a vote of 435 to 36O to remove from the discipline of the church the clause which provides the penalty of expulsion for church members who play cards, dance and attend the theater.
 More stringent regulations re- garding the remarriage by Methodist ministers of divorced persons are provided in report submitted today by the committee on the state of the church. By the proposed change a minister who performs such a mar riage is guilty of maladministration and is to be held answerable to his conference on the charge.
 The total abstinence by Methodist church members from the habitual Use of tobacco is urged in another re- port, which denounces the habit as tout of harmony With the best Christian life.''
 Polygamy and the social evil are condemned by the committee on tenn perance and public morals. The en- forcement of laws prohibiting the former is urged.
 Regarding the social evil, the com- mittee asserts that neither segrega- tion nor punishment by fines is a remedy. The community should officially expel and disperse vice, it continues, and the state should pro- vide industrial settlements for the mentally deficient and an honest place in society for those mentally capable.
 Action will be taken later

Dublin, May 25, 1O:43 a. m.-As- tonishingly little interest is dlSplaEeo here in the trial of Sir Roger Case ment, both in political and general circles. Easement was almost entlrelv unknown here before the war. Since then vague reports of his activities in Germany have been all that have reached the Irish public in spite of the fact that he was in touch with the leaders of the recent rebellion.
 As an element in Irish politics Case ment had no existence. The import ance attached to his connection with the Sim Fein revolt both in England and abroad is not quite understood in this country.

Washington, May 25.-Republican members of the house naval affairs committee in a minority report sub mitted to the house today denounc- ton bill reported by the majority as wholly inadequate, and urged more liberal allowances to make the United States Navy second greatest iii the world.
 The minority charged that the majority report ignored opinions of naval experts and recommendations of Secretary Daniels and was based on a compromise between interests which wanted no additional naval protection and those which wanted only a slight increase.
 Minority Recommendations
 The republicans recommended that the bill provide for two dreadnoughts omitted by the reported measure, six battle cruisers instead of five, fifty coast defense submarines instead of twenty. $3,500,000 for aircraft in stead of $2,0o0,000, still greater in- crease in personnel, creation of a na- tional defense council, and means for IuSIluB Luo puiluiilS pToSfdul uy using more than one shift of work men daily.
 The report suggested that the two dreadnoughts be built according to rlans now ready for the California and Tennessee so that all might be finished simultaneously. The bill should provide, the report declared, for the full number of men required On a peace basis, and should authorize the President to order at his discreation enlistment of such ad- ditional men as the navy might need, not to exceed the S8,762 recommend ed by the general board.
 15O Submarines Needed.
 We have seventy two Submarines built and building" said the minority report The lowest estimate of our requirements by any naval authority is 150."
 The general board advised expendi- ture of s7,000,000 on the aeronauti- cal service, the report pointed out. Commenting on the proposal for g. defense council, it said: Experience in modern wars has led all other great nations to establish such a council to Insure unity, continuity and cooperation in all branches of national defense"
 The miority declared the omission of dreadnoughts in the reported bill twill further increase the ex- isting shortage of powerful fighting ships of the dreadnouggh type"
