The Pageant proper; presented by a tableaux of over a hundred classically garbed women typifying Faith, Hope, Charity, Justice, Liberty, Columbia, Government and kindred subjects, was staged on the broad terrace of the Treasury building.

One evening a boy came to his father as he was reading THE PALLADIUM, and told him that he was going to quit learning geography, as there was nothing interesting in it So the father said, "You're going into business after you leave school?" "Sure," replied the boy eagerly, taking for granted that there was no more geography for him. Well, here's what a business man writes today," and he turned to an advertisement about Oriental Rugs, in -which the life of the Orient was vividly portrayed. "What do you think of that?" he queried. "Bully," answered the boy. - "Now, that's geography. The boy looked dismayed. "There's more to geography," continued the father, "than names of places. Yon find out why we end to Italy for silks, to Germany for toys, and why other nations come to buy from us." Read the advertisements in THE PALLADIUM closely and constantly every day for the most important news. They win tell you where to buy to best advantage. Encourage your boys and girls to follow them carefully and gain a knowledge of the romance of business. The Palladium's Circulation For March 1 Was 7,650

SIX MEXICANS ARE SHOT BY TROOPERS U. S. Negro Cavalrymen Send Deadly Fire After Attack On Their Officers. BORDER IS ALARMED Patrols Are Increased For Fear of Mexicans Making Raids Over the Line. (National News Association) DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 3. Over 75 armed ranch hands are co-operating with the United States troops, now patrolling the border here. Since yesterday's fight between a detachment of the ninth United States cavalry (negro troops), and fifty Mexicans, in which six Mexicans were killed, feeling has run high on the Mexican side and the United States border patrol has been increased. Col. John F. Guilfoyle ordered that a particular watch be kept to prevent any sortie or reprisal by the Mexicans. A friendly Mexican, who crossed the border from Agua Prieta, Mex., Bays the six dead men were regular soldiers attached to the Agua Prieta garrison. The commandant of the Agua Prieta garrison had caused word to be circulated, this Mexican said, that the United States troops had crossed the line into Mexico. The Americans emphatically deny this. According to the official report on the incident which Col. Guilfoyle is drawing up for presentation to the war department at Washington, the Mexicans started the trouble by wantonly firing on four United States officers who were standing near the Queen Smelting Co., quietly talking among themselves. If the feeling along the border grows higher, a band of rangers will be formed to prevent Mexican raiding parties from driving American cattle over the line and to protect isolated districts which lie exposed to the danger of Mexican raids on United States soil. MANY PAY TAX FOR YEAR IN ADVANCE In This Way They Escape'Assessing on the Amount of Money Paid. Saturday was a record breaking tax paying day for persons who pay their taxes for the ensuing year in advance In order that they will have as little as possible on hand when examined by the assessors. One person paid $100 taxes, and said it saved him $3 by so doing. The sum of $4,679,92 was paid into the treasurer's office Saturday. During the months of January and February as much as $31,750.14 was paid Into the office of the treasurer. The sum of $6,473.48 was paid in January and $25,750.14 during the month Of February. The state board of finance wrot a letter to the county treasurer asking that the necessary money needed at the state treasurer's office, in state revenue and benevolent institutional funds, be paid not later than March 10. The treasurer was directed to transmit twenty-five per cent of the total tax due the state at the June settlement on he above named funds. Because the taxes have not been all settled as yet it will be impossible for a settlement of twenty-five per cent to be made with the state department.

LEGISLATURE FACES A STRUMOUS :AI Home Stretch of Sixty-Day ' Session Began This Morning.

HUNDREDS OF BILLS Political Fortunes of Some Hinge on the Garnishee Bill. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, March 3. With that ticklish proposition, the garnishee bill, and the general appropriations matter in the limelight for some kind of action today, and half a dozen other hugely important measures clamoring for attention, members of the General Assembly faced a strenuous task when they entered the home stretch of their sixty-day session. The attention of their constituents also was riveted upon such weighty subjects as primary elections, registration, constitutional amendments, constitutional convention, workmen's compensation, women's minimum wage commission, nine-hour workday for women and girls, to say nothing of hundreds of minor bills of more or less sectional importance. The exposure of alleged juggling of the vote on the proposition of making the garnishee bill a special order for Wftilnartnv. therehv eivine it small chance of ultimate solution, creaiea a wave of suspicion regarding the sincerity of the majority regarding a piece of legislation that has caused j great apprehension among both mer chants and working people, with the result that it was advanced to forfeit for action. How They Will Vote. The future political fortunes of several members may hinge on the ultimate disposition of the garnishee bill, irrespective of amendments as powerful influences are at work on both sides. Representative Cravens and his colleague, Bedwell, on the conference committee on the general appropriations proposition, minus the "salary grabs" have forced matters squarely up to the Senate, which body has not yet named its conferees. In the meantime the specific appropriations bill is in abeyance pending the outcoihe of the fuss stirred up by Cravens following taunts of Inconsistency on appropriation matters. Primary Bill Favored. Senator Fleming's primary bill, against which a strong fight was promised by those favoring "a statewide primary, seems to have gained in favor, and many members believe it will triumph Fleming's measure retains the old convention system for the nomination of state officers and adoption of platform, but county and congressional offices and party organization are placed under the direct primary plan. Storen's registration bill, possibly with slight amendments, is slated for adoption with provisions calling for at least two registration days and with registration at any time with county auditors. Permission also is embodied whereby absent voters may register by mail. Stotsenburg's constitutional convention measure is likely to be amended in minor ways and allowed to pass. With quick action being demanded on so many important bills and an evident desire to avoid undue haste in railroading any of them through, a most trying situation confronted the legislators when they assembled for business this afternoon.

"The cabinet is complete, provisionally of course," he said. "Yet one can never tell what will happen until the last moment. Some times the senate has met on the afternoon of inauguration day.

WADE WANTS DECREE AS DOjSPLlTIFF After Taking Case Under Advisement judge Grants Divorce. The divorce suit of Marie Wade against Benjamin Wade was taken under advisement this morning by Judge Fox, but this afternon decided to grant a decree. The defendant was summoned to appear Saturday, but failed to do so. An attachment was placed against him by Judge Fox and he was brought into court this morning by the sheriff. When asked why he did not answer the summons he told the court it was because he had telephoned his wife concerning the matter and she told him her attorney believed it would help her case if he did not appear. The defendant said he was as anxious to have the divorce granted as the plaintiff was to get it. On the stand Saturday the plaintiff told the court various Incidents of cruel and inhuman treatment which the defendant failed to substantiate this morning. He said he refused to live with his wife because she would not leave "Mama" and go to housekeeping with him. DIRECTORS TO MEET Several Matters to Come Before Club Board.

GIRLS' WORKING DAY

Statement Is Made That Enough Girls Cannot Be Employed Here. Officers of the Richmond Underwear company stated today that they are J very much opposed to the bill now pending before the legislature limiting the number of hours for girls to work in factories. They claim that this would cut the output of their factory and would decrease the wages of the ' girls ten to fifteen per cent to make them work less time than they are working at present. They also complained about the lack of girls willing to work in this city. The bill provides for an act limiting the hours of labor of girls to nine hours per day and fifty hours per week, placing the penalty for each offense as a line of not less than $5 nor more than $50. At present, A. L. 'Flesch and others connected with the J management of the Richmond underi wear factory say the factory is run1 ning 65 hours per week and the girls are allowed to work overtime if they desire to do so. Bill Poor One. Mr. Flesch stated that the bffl Is a poor one as It brings the high class factories down to the level with the sweat shops for the regulation of which the bill was Introduced. The Richmond Underwear factory is one of the most modern, sanitary and up-to-date factories in the state' and was built in this way, the proprietors say, in order to make the working conditions ideal. It Is necessary to do this they say, because of the large number of girls which are employed by the company. "At present we arc employing about 200 girls." stated Mr. Flesch. "We could have put 50 more girls to work this morning if we coM get them. The scarcity of working girls in this city sertoasly handicaps ns as it is and if this bill Is passed onr production would necessarily be cut 10 to 15 per cent, as we cannot get more girls to increase our working force. ' avt . Lunch . Room. i. - "We have proTided the best possible factory for onr employes to work In. It is sanitary and always clean. We have a lunch room, serving free coffee and other things at to noon hour to attract girls to work iiere. We expect soon to have music during the noon hour. The working conditions here are the most congenial possible." Mr. Fresch stated that the factory had been brought to this city because they had been told that plenty of girls could be secured to work here. "Adam H. Bartel company has already built one out-of-town factory and will soon build another because working girls cannot be secured in this city." Mr. Flesch stated that he is In favor of the establishment of a commission to investigate the working conditions In the state and determine the number of hours that the girls should be allowed to work by the factory conditions.

WILSON'S WEATHER VANE. PRINCETON. N. J.. March 3. President Wilson has tipped off to the Weather Bureau that he has what he considers an infallible barometer.
