MRS. DR.. MeDoUGALL, OF AUR-

ed.
From bits of information obtained
from DIR. McDougall in moment of
consciousness and from McDougall
after he was given treatment it devel
oped there had been domestic mis-
understanding that extended to tistic
violence.
Swatted With Mesh Bag.
DR.. McDougall explained she had
swatted her husband with heavy me-
tai mesh bag Then, she said, she
fell off the rear porch to the tracks,
where she sustained a broken hip and
internal injuries. The doctor weighs
200 pounds, whereas her husband tips
the beam around LAO pounds.
McDougall at first was unable 10
make much Of an explanation except
to say he did not force his wife to
jump off the rear porch nor did he pur-
sue her. Finally he said his wife had
struck him and then told him to go to
her operating room for salve that she
might dress his wound.
Found Door Barricaded.
He said when he tried to return he
found the door barricaded and he was
SO befuddled by the blow she gave him
he didn't know what was happening

Will Admit Mexicans
To Labor on Farms
Secretary Wilson Temporal
rily Suspends Provisions of
Immigration Law

Washington. May 23.-To provide
against a shortage in farm labor, Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson to-day issued
orders for the admission to the United
States of aliens from Mexico other
wise barred by the literacy test or the
contract labor clause Of the immigra-
ton law.
Commissioner General Caminetti, OF
the immigration Bureau, explained that
the order was TO relieve conditions IN
the Southwestern States, where farmers
have been accustomed to import sea-
sonal labor from Mexico. II will affect
particularly New Mexico, Arizona,
Texas and California.
Secretary Wilson in his letter to Of
iicials of the department said:
"Alens admitted under the pro-
visions hereof are allowed TO enter tenn
porarily upon the understanding that
they will engage in no other than
agricultural labor; and any who fail to
accept or after acceptance abandon en-
ployment of that kind and engage in
the performance of labor in connection
with other industries shall be promptly
arrested and deported to the country
whence they came.
ain cases arising under this circular
the aliens involved shall be admitted
without the payment of head tax"

II is also assorted that the two Nag
var factions. represented on one side
by Tisza and on the other by Andrassy,
Karolyi and Apponyi. are united IN
their purpose TO maintain the Magyar
hegcmony in Hungary. The war was
favored b. both parties because Of the
opportunity it gave 20 subjugate the
non Magyar majority of Hungary.
The Magyars fear that terms OF
peace along the lines indicated by
President Wilson and the Allies will
cause Hungary to lose a considerable
portion Of the territory held by the
races now subject to the Magysrs.
The leaders in the Slav Press Bureau
are Charles Pergler, Emanuel V.

Volunteer Army
Ready to Take
Census of State
Director Denies Federal En-
roIment Will Obviate
Need Of Canvass

Organization Of the machinery for
the state military census, which is TO
be taken between June II and %, is
rapidly nearing completion. E. P.
Goodrich. director for the greater city,
said yesterday that he had obtained the
necessary army Of volunteer workers
and had arranged for practically all of
the registration places needed.
The taking of the census, originally
planned for the middle of this month,
was postponed so that it might follow
the Federal CONSUMPTION registration.
To the suggestion, contained in Trib-
une editorial, that a proper economy OF
time, energy and expense dictated its
abandonment. Mr.. Goodrich yesterday
made this reply:
Every patriot to-day is seeking to
accomplish and is ardently urging
economy Of effort. time and money. This
undoubtedly applies to census taking,
as pointed out in your editorial Of May
4 20. OUT some OF lUt luAfifu'NH NAlNaN -
contained are apparently based on lack
of information. With the exception OF
postage and some printing items, every
item Of cost involved IN the state cen
sus is contributed through the services
of approximately 10000 volunteers.
"As originally planned the state CEN
sus was designed to include all persons,
both men and women, between the ages
of sixteen and fifty. and contemplated
ut least four kinds OF information:
Listing of male citizens available for
military duty: listing of male citizens
available for a reserve for home de-
fence: listing Of non-citizens, and the
securing of information as to profess
sional. business and trade experience
of men and women, so that the best
possible redistribution of service could
be arranged.
"In endeavoring to arrange the state
census to cover these several items
numerous conferences were held and
communications exchanged with Wash
ington officials, not excluding members
of the Council Of National Defence. 1t
was at first thought possible to combine
the state and the Federal census, and
the state forms were drafted according
lv and actually printed. The Federal Of
fcials subsequently requested, however,
that the two be not combined, and that
the state census be postponed until al
ter the Federal census had been taken.
obviously, the Federal census made
unnecessary the first one of the reasons
given for the taking of the state census.
IL in no sense, however, affected the
remainder.
"Many individuals will be called by
war from their occupations, and their
elimination will create an economic
and social burden. II this burden is
TO be equitablv distributed, accurate
information must be available as TO
the work done by every man who may
be called and Of each other person who
can best be spared to fill resulting va
cancies. A census which will provide
this information is consequently. of So
cial and economic value. 1t is for the
benefit of the community

New Russia and Britain
Have Same Aims, Says Cecil

London, May 23.-Replying IN the

fact that our aims and aspirations were
dictated solely by our declaration TO
secure peace founded on national lib

Russia is in complete harmony with
this policy"
