Carranza's Reply

I k The suggestion made- by the United States ': and other American powers for a conference of

.the leaders in Mexico is rejected by General Carranza, 5 who asks ; that his government be recognized. The arguments are based oh the theory 5 that there is at the present time an established

i government in Mexico, one entirely capable of ! performing its functions, and discharging its ob-

ligations to foreign nations, if that were true,

the arguments would indeed be weighty. Under

such conditions there is not an American power

r that would think of interfering in any way, with i' the domestic concerns of Mexico. Even as it is, : all that was asked was that all the warring chiefs I meet together and agree on some one to serve as provisional president till a constitutional governinent was established. ; ; In the Carranza note is this: . I sm sure that your excellencies do not doubt that' Mexico Is at present In the throes of a revolution in - twhich It Is proposed to wipe out the last vestige of the o!onlal epoch, as well as all the errors and abuses of past

admlnlstratioiis, and realise the noble aspirations for the welfare and the betterment of the Mexican people. Wit&tfabwi purpose the t American people hav the keenest sympathy: The American -government has no wish or intention "to . interfere

withUhe wcOmnUsiment of that pwi)Ose.- EVery

one knows that "Mexko is at- present un the throes of a revolution." "but. unfortunately, no

one is able to see any chance of bringing the rev

olution to a dose. .Indeed, those wjio are, nest informed seem to feel that the revolution has degenerated into mere factional fighting among the various chiefs, all of whom claim to be revolutionists. Thus the movement headed by this government had for its object the safeguarding of the results of the revolution and the insuring of its. triumph. , ,' ;, . - : -But the "first chief" can not see it that way. He is, convinced that he is the only man through whom peace and constitutional government can be brought to his country, and apparently believes that he is at the present time the head of a constitutional government. He identifies himself with Mexico and looks .on any suggestion from outside as an interference, not with his own plans, but with the destinies of the republic. It is, of course, possible that the whole question may be decided by a battle that is supposed to be . impending between Carranza and Villa. But at present there is little or nothing to indicate that there is any. real government in Mexico, or, indeed, anything resembling it. v What will be the next step -of the representatives of the American powers is known only to them. It has been intimated that they might arrange for the confer

ence, and at least passively support as against

Carranza the man agreed on by it for president.

All that is certain now is that Carranza would not be represented at the conference, regarding

as ne does ms enemies as the enemies of Mexico. Indianapolis News.

TWENTY-FOUR HOUR MEN BUSY WITH BIG i CIRCUS ON SEPT.16

I What Is a "twenty four hour man" Is asked ererr circus day by many

people. ...... v....: .. . . ... ' -.. A big circus like the Carl HagenLvtir.ii... ni.... .kuk ...

nere oeyi. io, requires toe kbhhkb ui two "twenty-four men." Possibly they ahnuM hA rA "fnrtv-efttht hour

men," but the title has not been chang,'ed from the day when only one man Lwas employed In that position. ; The "twenty-four, hour "man" has ' many responsibilities. He is the first 1 rtan from "Back with it" to reach the circus -stand. One man bearing that t tltle makes the Monday, Wednesday ( and Friday towns while another makes the Tuesday,' Thursday and Saturday stands. The man going to the Wed1 nesday town leaves the circus Monday ' sbout . noon, after he has seen the t show on the-lot in that town-. Arriving probably in the Wednesday town on , Monday night, he goes to bed early because he had to get up early that ) morning to meet the show . trains. Tuesday morning he hustles to the ' largest and' best bakery in the town

..and arranges for many hundreds of

, loaves of bread. He then finds the circub grounds which have been con- ' traded several weeks earlier by the ' contracting agent. Possibly he finds ' the ground contracted is not nearly ' large enough. an.d he is forced to find neat-by grounds , on which1 to place

some of the many auxiliary tents. Or

possibly he finds the circus ground is under water or is soft or he has

found one better, located. In any of these -emergencies, the" "twenty-four hour man'' has full authority to han- . die the situation as he thinks best. ,,He looks over the route over which . the circus wagons must be - hauled from the railroad, ' he examines the ' culverts and bridges and often finds that a bridge needs strengthening or i reflooring and then be must attend to , that. He finds the best "crossing" on , which to unload the circus trains and , If he does not find a suitable one it is up to him to have one built. He sees ' the water works people and sees that 1 tbe man and hose will be at the fire plug early the next day. He also buys ; the feed for all of the stock with the show.

LYRIC. , ' "Vendetta in a Hospital" Billie Ritchie stars in this film at the Ly: ric today. Senorita Paprika: "It sit on the bridge and wait for you, No other Senorita -will do;Don't you give me tbe poo, pooh! 'Cause damned if I don't marry you." BilMe. MURRAY. - Lois Meredith will be seen at tbe Murray theatre in "Help Wanted." This play is shown in five reels and Is one of tbe greatest heart gripping stories ever offered here. While "Help . Wanted" is not exactly a story dealing with the "white slave" traffic, It does tell tbe tale of a young and beautiful girl who Is given a position by a wealthy man who has fallen in love with her and who attempts to lure her from the path of virtue. MORRETTB.' v-: . At the Murrette today there will be seen a great two-reel Reliance drama, "For His Pal," and a two-reel Keystone comedy. "For His Pal'' has proven to be a feature wherever shown and is sure to be a favorite here. There are many wonderful scenes shown that are real thrillers and this together with the beautiful story told makes , it a aim that no one should miss.

History

Gntnlutions on the Early ; Days of Richmond WiU Appear In This Golumn, Daily.

- FIRST CHARtTY WQRK.

.The first charitable organisation was

that . organised in 1SS1 and named the Woman's Aid Society of Union Chapel

Methodist Episcopal Church, The. pres

ident was Mrs. Uiff Davis, a : leader

in charitable work throughout the war,

This organization assured the first

volunteers who left the city that they

would be remembered on the battlefield and in the hospital, and their families provided for at home. In a

short time the city council and county commissioners were appealed toand

aa a result the former ordered money

to be taken from tbe city treasury for the work and the mayor to advertise

for contributions.. .

The latter were equally as prompt

and during the following winter tbe

country distributed merchandise and

provisions to the needy ones over the

county to the amount of 1700 a week

On April 10, 1862, a public meeting waa held in Starr hall to form a sanitary commission, representative of the

citizens. Not only was the commia

sion organised, but $522 was raised by subscriptions, and In a month the commission had paid Out $1,166 in cash In addition to provisions and clothing. Previous to this time, however, there had been organized by the ladies of the city the Soldiers' Relief Circle, and numerous aid societies in the different churches of the city. The largest of these aid societies was the Social Circle of the Union Chapel M. E. church. All of these organizations found plenty to do during the year, and especially in the memorable winter of 1162-63. In their endeavors to keep up with the

needs of the sufferers the farmers-of the community were appealed to and not ta vain.

January, ' 1863, twenty-five ' waaona

loaded with wood and one loaded with

provUtona were sent by the farmers

In the vicinity of Middleboro. This example was shortly imitated by the farmers In the vicinity ot Boston who brought in sixty cords of wood, three

thousand pounds or flour and moat, besides enormous quantities ot other Drovlsions. In two more weeks the

farmers from east of the city brought in ninety-two cords of wood, over two J

mousatna povnas oi nour, iorty Dusnels of corn meal and six bushels of

potatoes. The farmers from west .of town came to the rescue of their section with a contribution that was as learge as the former contributions had been: These donations 'continued until the need for them no longer ' extated." -- "" ri Those who were leaders in these aid societies were Mrs. Iliff Davis. Mrs. Margaret J. Newton. Mrs. Sarah Hays, Mrs. Elizabeth Scott. Miss Beulah McPherson and Miss Jane- Morrow. 1
