THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1919.

FRIENDS BACK FROM MEXICO

Conditions in Mexico are surprisingly quiet, said Ross Hadley of the Friends' Foreign Mission Beard, who returned from Mexico last evening, with the Friends representatives who

went to Mexico January 25 to investigate the work of the Friends in that country. Those in the party were Ross Hadley and Mrs. Mary A. J. Ballard of Richmond and Sylvester Jones of Havana. Friends have five schools in Mexico. Three of them are in Victoria, a town on the eastern coast in the state of Tamaullpas. It was in this state that the representatives spent most of their time although they were in adjacent territory. Mr. Hadley said that they traveled with a certain degree of comfort. During all of the time they were there, they were not annoyed and saw no traces of bandits of whom there are bo many rumors. Mr. Hadley said they were treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration. There have been many rumors of the hostility of Mexicans toward Americans but none of this was in evidence. Much criticism Is heard about the Mexican government and on the other hand expressions of confidence are heard. Mr. Hadley said that they found it to be a fairly well governed country. At a conference held in Maxlco City, composed of representatives of almost all denominations doing work in Maxico plans were formulated to establish in Mexico City a publishing house for the purpose of putting out Christian literature and a Christian periodical in Spanish. It will be organized as a corporation and the Friends will take stock. The representatives, about 60 in all, voted to sanction the establishment of industrial schools. As soon as it is possible the Friends will establish one at Victoria where they already have three schools.

BOARD ALLOWS BILL TOTALING $34,795 Bills for $34,795.61 were approved at the Thursday morning meeting of the board of works. Of this amount $31,573 was allowed for the boilers at the city light plant, and about $3,252.51 for city bills for the last two weeks. The South Ninth street improvement to be made by the city In conjunction with the county was approved. Several persons Interested in the new street attended the meeting, but virtually all were in favor of the i treet. Information was asked of the board as to the putting in of gas and water taps, and the property owners said they favored a brick street. There was no opposition to the alley Improvement between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets from South A r treet. The South Ninth street resolution provides for the city paving the part of the roadway not provided for by the three-mile road law, as well as 100 per cent of the curb and gutter. The city usually paves the intersections. New roof and a new ceiling were ordered for the city Jail at a cost of about $175. The ceiling is to be of corrugated steel. A fire alarm box was ordered midway between Northwest Second and Northwest Fifth streets on center, near the Acme Furniture building. Beallview's proposed addition to the city came in for a brief discussion, but no opinion was expressed except by City Engineer Davis, who said that Beallvlew was distinct from Richmond especially from the sewer standpoint, and a sewer installed there would be practically a separate system.

New Principal Favors All Student Activities ! W. G. Bate of Mankato, Minn., new principal of the Richmond high school, is a staunch advocate of student activities. Superintendent Bentley said today. Bate is praised by both students and teachers. In Mankato he organized the school paper and personally supervised it. The paper is similar to the Richmond high school periodical.

Burning Stream Causes Excitement Near Brazil (By Associated Press) BRAZIL, March 6. Bill Creek, running through Knightsvllle, near here, became a stream of fire and caused more excitement; along its banks than any flood it had ever permitted to overflow. Apparently the entire creek was afire for some time. Fences were burned and it was only by efforts that property near the creek was saved.

The crew of a Pennsylvania freight

train discovered a car of gasoline leaking. It was put on a siding near the creek. The gasoline ran into the creek, and boys with matches did the rest. The blaze was extinguished by a quickly built temporary dam.
