MEXICAN INQUIRY
HERE THIS WEEK
Senators Will Hear How
Americans Are Treated
Beyond Rio Grande.

This will be Mexico Week" in
Washington. Through a subcom-
mittee. the Senate tomorrow will
begin to collect a mass OF testimony
on the status of Americans in Mexi-
CO. and general relations between
Mexico and the United States.
Senator Fall. subcommittee chair
man, said yesterday the inquiry will
be as thorough as weeks of hear
ings can make it. The testimony
is expected to shed light on the
practice of Mexican Consul Garcia,
at Laredo. of requiring Americans
to sign waivers of personal rights
before permitting them to enter
Mexico. a procedure the State De-
partment now is investigating.
Treaty action on the Senate floor
is expected to proceed slowly until
one side or the other feels il has
accurately gauged how the country
is lining up as a result of the Pres
ident's stumping tour.
Officials agree that the President
has stirred the Middle West from
it's apathy over the treaty. To Sem
ators, this indicates that the coun-
try soon will make known to Con-
gress its decision on whether the
instrument should be ratified with
or without change. Meanwhile,
both administration and opposition
forces are claiming to have the
country behind them.

Rev. Ball Opens Seventeenth Year
mt Metropolitan baptist Church.

In celebrating the beginning of his
seventeenth year as pastor Of the
Metropolitan Baptist Church yester-
day. the Rev. John Compton Ball
chose as his topic, The Unchangea-
Bile Christ
Pastors come and go" said DR.
Ball Churches change; great
changes take place in the nation. in
the individual and in the community
but the Christ goes on forever, the
same merciful, generous and lovable
Saviour that He was when He walked
among men"
Referring to the league of nations,
DR.. Ball heartily endorsed the tour OF
President Wilson to gain converts for
his idea of a league of nations to pre-
serve the peace of the world.
I'VE must have the league of ma
tions,'' said the pastor. "or a re-
markably good substitute for it if the
world is never again to be disturbed
by lustful nation"
Getting back to the subject OF the
unchangeableness of Christ, DR.. Ball
said that Christ love for humanity
had not changed with either time of
the events since His death
There is one thing that reminds me
distinctly" said the pastor. that
Christ is the same as He ever was
The ideas, the doctrines. and the ad-
vice He gave us when He was on
earth are as Interchangeable as He
himself"
Dr. Ball has occupied the pulpit of
the Metropolitan Church for the mast
sixteen years. At yesterdays services
the new organ was played for the first
time.

COD LIKES us
ALL; NO CHOICE
Ordinary People Aren't
Sighted, Says Rev. ].
Phelps Hand.

God does not confine his presence
to the high places" said the Rev. J.
Phelps Hand, pastor of Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in his sermon
yesterday on "God in the Common
Place"
1T is a mistaken idea" said the
pastor. and very old idea that we
humans have, some OF US, that God
is apt to slight the ordinary people
for those more fortunate in material
things.
This deluslon is as serious a one
as We could have. We have but to
use our eyes, and our minds. and our
consciousness to see that God is with
us all II we want Him to be, no mat
ter where we may be or who we
are
There is as much of the Divine
Presence in the lowliest hovel as in
the most costly of palaces. Christ,
the Son OF God. was not born in a
palace-He was born in a lowly
msnger. What more proof do we need
that God walks in the common place ?
I'VE can find GCd in our daily tasks.
in our environment, in our common
experiences. and in every part of our
daily existence, if we would but just
look and believe.
There is more good. more real
Christianity. more sacred love and
more real happiness among the lowly
in the common places than there is
in all the seats of the earthly powerful
combined.
God looks to the sincere, the hum

The Craftsmanship
OF Emil Garrison

The evidences OF an unusual tribute
paid to living painter may be seen at
the Macbeth Gallery. An exhibition
there is composed of works by Mr.. Emil
Garrison and all fifteen Of them are
from one collection, that of Mr.. Robert
handley. How often does an amateur
thus demonstrate his enthusiastic
faith in an artist? Mr.. Hand)ey has
been we'll rewarded. For one thing,
the painter to whom he shows such
devotion is uncommonly versatile.
MIR. Carlson has produced landscapes,
marines, portraits and studies of still
life- In the last mentioned he has done
his best work. but everything that
bears his name is interesting and of
value.
Inc preface TO the catalogue, by Mr.
Duncan Phillips, contains some sug-
gostlve information. 1t seems that in
his youth at Copenhagen Mr.. Carlson
was trained for the profession of ar
chitecture. This, as Mr.. Phillips sur
misses, may readily account for the
craftsmanship which is one Of his
best resources. There is no great quail
lty of style in his drawing 1t is, in
deed, little hard. But it is notice
able for purity and precision. Wit
ness in this exhibition the refined ex-
actitude of the charming little "Por-
trait Of Dimes" and, even more, the
delicacy of contour which the painter
always secures in the Oriental vessels
and kindred objects portrayed in his
studies of still life. AS a virtuoso in
he exploitation of vases, pots, pans
and the like. Mr.. Carlson is a disciple
OF Chardin, but also the child of his
own time He seems sophisticated
where the old French master is almost
naive. His harmonies of color are in
genious, complex beside the simple
serenity and breadth Of Chardin. He
hasn't anything of the latter's weight
and mellowness. But his work has
great beauty, just the same, which is
sufficient recompense for the differ
eDces between him and his renowned
exemplar. 1t has the beauty of color
manipulated with feeling, taste and
skill. There is trace of poetic emo
ZION in t.is artist 1t comes out in his
pictures of forest and sea in such a
luminous study Of the Venetian sky
as his "On the Giudecca" and it is
manifest in the subtle loneliness of
tone in which his pictures Of still life
-nveiop insensate things. His paint
ngs are brilliant achievements as
hey stand Time should give them d
wonderful patina.

sympathetic and accurate manner. Mr..

guide, and he has printed just the
right illustrations to go with his analy-
sis. The visitor to the exhibition vino

Alexandrine Harris. Another little
canvas full of atmosphere is Emma
Rudd's "Ei Vedado, Havana" Jane
Peterson's "Bathers" are present in
all their chatty brilliance, and another
picture, "The Beach, shows her work

The exhibition covers almost every
subject from Josephine Newton's ami

There are landscapes, still life studies

In the part of the show devoted to

statuette of young girl dancing and
tiny statuette of little dancing boy
are the two most striking features.

William Blake
At the Grolier Club

The Grolier Club might not unrea-
sonably be regarded as the custodian in
this country of the fame of William
Blake. In 1905 it held the best exhibi
ton of him which up to that time had
been arranged here, and now it presents
another Blake collection, more remark
able than the first. This show is made
up of books, prints, drawings and manu-
scripts. 1t is memorable to a certain
extent because of the rarity of many
lay particular stress upon its represent
alive quality. Blake was an Unbalanced
man of genius, whose true worth is only
to be got at through processes of dis
elimination. He produced some fine
things and some rubbish 1t has been
said Of Dante, "He has his commenta-
tors, which is one reason why he is
never UNDERSTOOD" Blake has had his
rhapsodists, which is perhaps one reason
why his merits and his defects have
often been mixed in weller Of confu-
sion. The value Of the show at the
Groler lies in it's frequent illustration
of his art at its best.
1t was an art wreaked upon its visions
of a phantom world Blake had a feel
ing for form akin to that of Michael
Angelo, with the difference that where
the Italian saw the truths of nature and
invested them with the grandeur of his
imaginative style the EngIishman
clouded his view of fact with mystical
emotion. He dreamed dreams, if ever an
artist did So The poet and literary man
in him was always urging the hand of
the craftsman. Hence many a craving
of his in which reality is submerged in a
kind of grandiose rhetoric. But when
his dreams are matched with conscious
Ness of the verities of q visible world
he is profoundly impressive designer.
There are some magnificent drawings
at the Grolier, magnificent in the sweep
and force with which they clothe males
tic ideas in noble form. This is poetic
as much as it is an artistic exhibition.
1t is, in fact, even richer in thought
than in pictorial beauty. There is no
