MEXICAN STATEMENT GIVEN OUT TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, June 1. The statement on the Mexican situation will be made public tomorrow afternoon and not today, as previously indicated. President Wilson told his visitors tolay. He said the matter was ready "or discussion at the cabinet meeting, but would make no comment pending the publication of this warning to the Mexicans. The president stated that Duval West has performed his mission in Mexico admirably, and gave the impression that he is basing his (curses in Mexican affairs on West's information. With regard to Mexico, it was understood that notice would be served on warring factions that unless they cot together for the good of that nation, the United States will not sit by and see millions starve. Although official Washington dislikes to use the word, intervention in some form is not improbable unless there be an early change for the better across the Rio Grande.

AGENT HELD AS SPY

PARIS, June 1. A man was arrested at Surte, according to a story published here today, and asked to state his business. "Spy," he replied calmly. He was just going to be led off to a secret interrogation and possibly the firing squad, when he explained he was a Belgian refugee from Verviers. In that section "espion" (spy) is the name given to insurance agents. The insurance man was ro leaserl.

SHUT GARBAGE BINS OR SUFFER ARREST Having illustrated to property owners the importance of strictly observing the anti-fly ordinance by fining five of them yesterday in city court for having left the lids of their manure boxes open. Mayor Robbins today declared war against people who have been in the practice of going through alleys, removing manure and leaving lids of the bins open and scattering trash and slops about promiscuously in their wake. "Any person acting without authority in collecting things in alleys will be arrested and fined. If it is necessary a special force of sanitary officers will be detailed to see that the alleys are kept in as sanitary condition as possible," Mayor Robbins said today. He also declared that the men who were fned yesterday had in each instance been warned about keeping the lids of manure bins closed. "Manure is not removed by city wagons but property owners are required to have their bins emptied once every two weeks. If people cannot keep others from getting into their bins and leaving the lids open, let them lock the lids," the mayor said.

the marrying parsons and justices of peace over its poor record last year. This year, after January, February and March were absolute failures with Cupid, April broke its record when thirty-four marriage licenses vere issued and all but one resulted .n marriage. The one license still shows no marriage return although is. sued six weeks ago. May showed up poorly this year, only twenty licenses were issued. As the year is far behind the average, June is expected to again show up as the popular marrying month and help bring up the marriage record for the first half of 1915. This it failed to do in 1914, when the number of licenses was far below several other months of the year.

Foolish questions, numerous and varied, are daily hurled at "Information," "Trouble" and "Long Distance," the girl operators on the switchboards of the Richmond Home Telephone Co. say. Some of these interrogations are so ridiculous and so unreasonable that instead of vexing the operators, they prove laughable. Others tax the patience and good humor. In spite of some of these questions, in addition to the innumerable calls coming in on various lines, the operators are required to be polite and insofar as they are able, answer the questions asked of them. Here is a small list of the foolish questions asked of the operators: A young man called "Information" and wanted-to know on which finger of the girl he intended to propose to, he should put the engagement ring. Another young man said that he had noticed a tall, comely girl who had attracted him and he desired to know which church she attended. Some more of these questions are: "How long has President Wilson been in office?"

"Are there more men or more women in the world?" "How many trains run out of the Pennsylvania depot in New York daily?" "There's a man named John Smith who lives with his brother-in-law. Could you connect me with him?" "I want to talk with a man whose first name is Roy and he lives on Eleventh street. Do you know his phone number. Numerous questions are asked about wedding anniversaries, lodge meetings, and the weather, past, present anl future. At least two persons call every five minutes throughout the day up until midnight wanting to know the time. And while these "fool" questions are being asked, other telephone users are trying to make legitimate calls and in failing to get into communication with their party immediately. plae the blame upon the innocent shoulders of the operator.

Hr 'JW;

The picture shows the much talked of statue called "Woman,

the Immortal," and "The Woman-bearer of the World." Insert is of Sculptor Gutzon Borgium. "Women have always been the world's burden bearers. Ever since histoi-y began the great burden of the world's faith, its belief in immortality, has been carried in the arms of its women," said Gutzon Borgium. That is why I made my Atlas a woman. "Art is only just beginning to realize the eternal debt it owes to women. We can't improve on the wonderful lines of the Greek artists ; they are as near perfection as humanity can" ever attain. But we have in modern art something the ancients knew nothing about. I meant art through interpreted psychology. That is where woman is coming into her own.

ROYALTY ENTERS WAR

LONDON, June 1. Lady Lethbridge is the latest society woman who has taken her life into her hands and joined the allied field ambulance corps in Servia, a country fully as much devastated by epidemics like typhoid

fever and enteric fever as by the ravages of war. She went to take the place of Lady Ralph Paget, who nearly succumbed out there to violent attack of typhus, but who was invalided home and who now has almost completely recovered.

FIND HOUSE RAIDED

Mr. and Mrs. Garland Willet, 205 Northwest Fifth street, when they returned home yesterday from a visit of several days discovered that thieves had conducted a very successful raid in their absence. Entrance to the home had been gained by cutting out a section of glass in a basement door. A considerable amount of silverware was taken, also some shoes, dresses and an overcoat. The police have absolutely no clue as to the identity of the burglars.

FILIPINO EXPERT UPHOLDS WILSON

CHICAGO, June 1. Dean C. Worcester, connected with the government of the Philippine Islands during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, was resting in Chicago today on his way to the islands.

SIX SINGERS KILLED WHEN CARTURNS OVER DALLAS, Tex., June 1. A rigid investigation was begun into the deplorable accident here early today, by which six persons were killed and nineteen were injured. A truck was returning home with twenty-five members of the Mozart Choral club, from an outing, when it went into a creek, alongside the read. Several of the occupants were drowned under the machine. The driver of the car claims that the accident was the result of his giving too much road to another car. It is believed, however, that in the darkness, he did not know how wide the road was, and that he did not exercise sufficient precaution under the circumstances. The automobile plunged twenty feet as a result of toppling over, throwing the entire party into the creek.

PRINCE SMOKER MUCH

LONDON, June 1 The Prince of Wales has become a tremendous smoker since he went to the front. They say Queen Mary is wondering whether he does not smoke more than can be good for him. The cigarette holds first place in his affections, his briar pipe, wjth the slightly curved mouthpiece, second, and the cigar comes a bad third. The Prince follows his father in this for King George is as confirmed a cigarette smoker as King Edward was a lover of cigars.

PARIS, June 1 "Zeppelin cold" is the newest French disease. All Paris is sneezing and sniffing because of it. When one of the big German gas bags comes here in the middle of the night on a raid everybody gets up some through fear and the rest through curiosity. Hustling out of a warm bed, no one waits to dress sufficient

ENGLAND RAISES TAX

LONDON. June 1 Reports of a rise j of taxation all round in the coming! budget are increasing so rapidly that' British householders are beginning to i lay in stores of taxable articles. Promiscuous prophecies of prohibition ; have done much to stimulate the pur- j chases of spirits and wine, though not1 so greatly in regard to beer. But' even short of prohibition, a seriously j raised duty on these articles is ac- j

cepted all round as a very likely proposition.
