WOMEN TO PUBLISH PAPER

Women of democratic politics may start paper in Washington, D. C., at least so it was announced by Carl Vrooman. assistant secretary of agri- culture, in an address in Washington last week. He said that such paper will give a great opportunity to women to put their power to the wheel of publicity and he justified his statement that women are fitted for such work by declaring that they could get things by the editor" when men are unable to do so.

Foster Gives Rules for New
 Pirate Bridge

Pirate bridge is the latest. The fascinating game has won favor of bridge devotees who find it an i'm prOvement over auction. As yet no authorities have been discovered so that the few who have mastered the new game have been called upon to hold classes to instruct their friends. A recent article by R. F. Foster that appeared in the New York Sun, will be helpful to those who are interested in pirate bridge which gives promise of being played at all smart functions in the future. It follows:
 There is a new game in town. Frank CroWninshield, editor of Vanity Fair, got hold of it from Aleister Crowley, the dramatist and traveller, who had an idea that auction would be vastly improved if the players could not only select the trump best suited to their individual hands, but also pick the partner best fitted to cary the contract elected and at the general election but one commissioner will be chosen from the two highest candidates at the pri- maries Should two candidates receive a majority of the votes. each will be elected and there will be no need of a general election, unless proposed amendments to the city charter, or re- ferred measures should make this nec- essary.

HOUSE ASKS CONGRESS- TO
PASS NATIONAL "DRY" LAW

Santa Fe May THE house to.
night by n votes of 33 TO 7 despite 4
determined filibuster led by Mares,
adopted a memorial to congress ask
wide prohibition law as war measure
for the protection of young men who
enlist and also to conserve grain,
sugar and other products used in the
manufacture of intoXicants. Those
who voted against the memorial were
Mares, Romero of San Miguel, San
tsteban, Valencia, Francis, Massacre
mas and Otero.
The most radical tax measure ever
passed by any legislative body in New
Mexico passed the house this evening
by vote of 80 to 6 only ten minutes
elapsing from the time of it's intro
duction to the fall of the gavel and
the announcement by the speaker that
it had passed with the emergency
clause. 1t is house bill No. 8, intro
duced by the committee on emergency
appropriations and provides for the
assessment of every railroad car and
engine used for intrastate as we'll as
Interstate traffic in New Mexico, the
tax to he 8 cents for every car mile
which would yield almost million
dollars year, which the railroads
would have to pay in addition to their
present taxes. Mares tried to hold
up the measure but found difficulty
in getting the eye of the speaker.
1t is understood that the bill was
introduced as an offset to the mine
taxation measure introduced in the
senate this forenoon. 1t is said to in
dicate a lineup of forces of the Santa
Fe railroad against the FL Paso and
Southwestern, the Chino Copper and
coal mining interests. An effort to
introduce the Tully and Mersfelder

BEING HELD Up
IN CONFERENCE
Committees From House and
Senate Unable to Agree on
Details; Measure May Be
Sent Back for instruction,

Washington May 7.-Conferees on
the war army bill in a four-hour dis
cussion today failed to reconcile the
differences between the bill as it pass
ed the two houses and adjourned un-
til tomorrow A decided difference of
opinion arose over the senate amend
ment which would permit Colonel
Roosevelt to take an expeditionary
force to France, and unless it is
smoothed out the bill may have to go
back to the two houses for further
action.
Other points of difference included
the prohibition amendment inserted
by the senate and the age limits of
men subject to the selective draft. The
senate bill fixes the limits between 81
and 81 and the house between 21 and
40.
Although there was talk tonight of
compromise by which the senate
would get the Roosevelt volunteer
amendment and the house the age
limits as fixed in its bill, it was said
there was nothing tangible in today S
conferences to make this appear more
than possibility.

HAS NO INTELLIGENCE
Experts, Because of Long
Service, Prohibited From
Explaining Background
Of Any Situation.

Washington, May THE usual
channels of information through
which news of Americas relations to-
ward foreign powers reaches the public
were closed by Secretary Lansing to-
day. An order bearing his name was
distributed broadcast instructing state
department officials not to talk with
newspaper men even on insignfi-
cant matters of fact or detail" Hence
forth, under the order the press will
not be able to discuss the background
of complicated international questions
with the experts at the head of each
bureau.
lansing Is Source.
The order says that hereafter all
news must be given out either by the
secretary himself or by the newly
created so-called bureau of foreign
intelligence. Secretary : Lansing sees
the newspaper men twice daily but
does not pretend to be able to answer
the mass of questions raised every
hour by news cables. The newspapers
are becoming more and more per-
functory.
Bureau of Intelligence.
The bureau of foreign intelligence
is about month old and is charged
not only with the press work but sup
plying news to all American missions
abroad. Usually very much behind
the press cables because of the need
Of coding and DECIDING, the bureau at
the same time, because of its relative
lack of authority confines itself most
ly to formal statements on news facts
and does not attempt to provide the
background or explanation which
gives international news its real value.
Little News Possible.
Consequently from now on, if to-
days order remains in effect, the pub
lie will receive from the state depart
ment only such perfunctionary news
as the bureau gives out and such frag-
mentary explanations as Secretary
Lansing himself finds time for in the
crush of other work. The bureau
chiefs, handling questions of the far
east, South America, the near east,
or western Europe, will not be able
to give to the public the benefit Of
their expert knowledge and intimate
familiarity of their specialized situa-
tions.

prominent features Of the present
trade conditions. In the larger sense,
war demands concededly dwarf ordin-
airy commercial business perhaps TO
a greater extent than at any time IN
the last three years, but even so prog
5ress in normal channels Is seen, now
that the fall seaso Is close at hand,
this manifestation being more evident
at centers that cater to the agrlcuitu-
raj regions than it is in the Industrial
zones, which latter certainly continue
active. It Is suggested, however, that
industrial workers have felt the bur-
dens Of the high cost of living in
great degree, wherefore they are
prone to economic, while agricu1tur-
lists, largely self-sustaining, have prof.
tied from the prolonged era of high
prices. House trade In the larger sta
pie lines has expanded In conserva-
tive way, thanks to the presence Of
numerous visiting buyers in the more
important markets. Retail trade rang

CHICAGO'S LEAD
is CONSIDERED .
BIG ADVANTAGE

Chicago, Sept. If Boston is to
win the American league pennant II
will be necessary for the club to play
last game, provided Chicago does no
better than to win half its remaining
games. The lead of. five games held by
Chicago is considered a big advantage
at this stage,
The White sox have twenty-sis
games remaining on, their schedule,
Only eight of them remain to be play
ed on the Chicago grounds. Three OF
these games will be played in Boston
where in the past they have shown
their nerve by holding the Red Soz
even. BY winning thirteen and losing
thirteen Of these remaining contests
it will be possible for the White soa
to finish with a percentage of SIG.
The Red. Sox aresbooked to play in
thirty-three. nor games. If they win
twenty-one OF these and drop only
twelve the best they will bave to show
for-themselves will be an average OF
