ARTICLE CONFUSES

Mexicans told the visiting Americans that this article had been misunder- stood and msrepresented in America. They contend that it means no more than the declaration on the part of the new government that the minerals are inher- ently the property of the nation and that those who mine and dispose of them must~pay a certain portion of their profits into the national treasury in the form of taxation. Thy also insisted there is no desire in Mexico to make this tax exorbitant or oppressive. If this be true, there probably would be little objection to the article, as America recognizes the right of taxation against minerals.

Edward Kneip, Murdered
Man, Alleged by Woman
To Have Wronged Her.

Rochester, N. Y. Jan. s.-James
J. odell and his wife. Pearl. a girl
of IS. this afternoon were held for
the grand jury on a charge Of muir
der in the first degree in the killing
of Edward Kneip. 2s years old.
The crime of which the couple
are accused was committed Wednes-
day night, when odell. posing as an
officer, took Kneip from his place Of
employment to the Odell home
where an explanation was demand
ed of relations alleged to have been
improper between Kneip and Mrs.
Odell prior to her marriage a few
weeks ago.
When Kneip refused to talk. he
was taken to the outskirts of the
city in an automobile and there, 1t
is charged. beaten insensible with
heavy file. As the Odells recol-
lected a letter that Kneip was sup
posed to have. they began a search
of his clothing. Kneip sprang up
and grappled with Odell.
The police say he was getting the
better of the argument when Mrs.
Odell stabbed Kneip with the file.
Then Odell is alleged to have struck
his opponent over the head with a
heavy club. The wounds were fatal.
The Odells confessed the killing
after being questioned by the police.
At the Jail today Mrs. Odell broke
down completely. He was the cause
OF my DOWNFALL" she sobbed in
speaking of Kneip. "He would have
made a women of the street of me" ="
Downstairs in solitary confinement
her husband wept as he sought to
justify his part in the crime.
Each of the accused tries TO take
the whole blame in order to shield
the other. The affair is a striking
parallel of the Thaw case in its
psychological aspects.

The bill will take as its basis for

the commission on reclassification
of salaries. 1t will be prepared
jointly by officials of the school
system and the District govern
ment
In order that all parties inter
ested in the movement to improve
conditions in local schools may
have their say on the proposed
measure, it will be submitted to the

Council

While members of the Board of
Education indorse the spirit prompt
ing requests for a fiat 50 per cent
to be unwise to ask Congress for
so great an increase.
The decision to request immediate
increases was made at a conference
yesterday between the District Com
miSsioners. a committee of the Board
of Education. and school officials.
Those participating in this con-
!, ference were District Commissioners

sounds Harmony Note.
DIR. Van Schaick said the action
of the Board of Education yesterday
in going before the commissioners
should not be taken as an indica-
tiOn that the school board is not
working in harmony with the citi-
zens' committee. To emphasize
this. he pointed out that as soon as
the bill is prepared it will be sub
mitted to the committee on salaries
for discussion, and for any changes
which the committee believe may
be needed. in the light of any data
it had collected.
The conditions of living in this
city, and the fact that many teach
ers are leaving the schools for posi-
tions in commercial lines will be
stressed in an attempt to get the
increases.

LEONARD WOOD
MAN OF THE HOUR

To qualify as a candidate for presi-
dent OF these United States a nan
should be of proven administrative
ability, possess a broad vision, be hon
est and courageous, cherish the in
situations of American democracy and
have those human impulses which are
so necessary in dealing with the social
problems OF the day.
Only one candidate, be he Repub-
lican or Democrat. fully meets these
requirements and he is Leonard Wood.
In Cuba Within thirty months he &C.
complished the regeneration Of a
nation. No mar alive today has a COM
parable administrative record.
With unusual accuracy he has SEN
sed the progressive spirit of the age
in which he lives and has led while
Others. now his rivals have followed

intimate friend and companion, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, we owe what pre-
pardness we had before we \entered
the war, a movement which saved
this country untold millions of dollars
and thousands Of precious lives.
No nan can gainsay the honesty
and courage OF Leonard Wood. These
two outstanding characteristics Of
this man have become automatic in our
national understanding.
Leonard Wood is first of all an Am
erican. He always has opposed en-
tangling powers and is a thorough
and energetic advocate Of the preser.
walton Of the democracy which we have
nurtured and developed since the foun-
dalton OF the Republic. He would cast
out from u midst. alien agitators and
revolutionists and sees in their pres
ence a to our institutions and
liberties.
And with all this strength OF charac-
ter and purpose Leonard Wood Is a
man filed with natural human impul-
ses. In Cuba he CARED for the sick,
assisted the poor and was beloved by
the peasants who looked upon him as
their friend and savior. In all his deal
ings with his fellowmen he has been
kind and considerate OF the FEELINGS
and views Of others. His discipline
is a kindly discipline and his nature
IL such that no man need fear him
He is a thorough democrat. Leonard
Wood is the outstanding figure in
America today. He is the man OF the
hour.
