PRESIDENT BLAMED BY H. L. WILSON FOR MUDDLE IN MEXICO

, ... tBy Associated Press) - WASHINGTON, April 16. "Mexi co's present position is due to the un

fortunate and mischievous policy of

the . Wilson administration," Henry

Lane Wilson declared today before a

senate committee investigating Mexi can affairs. He was appointed am bassador to Mexico in 1909 by PresI

dent Taft and resigned soon after President Wilson's first term began

in 1913- The former ambassador told the committee that in the six years since his resignation every prediction he made as to the result of Wilson's

policy has been justified by the

events.

"President Wilson's theory that any

number of Mexicans are struggling

for liberty is erroneous," he said. "It simply is a free-for-all struggle for

loot"

THEODORE VAIL

(Continued from Page One) fl the initiative head of a system that numbered nine million telephone

subscribers and represented an invest

ment of a billion and a half dollars. Mr. Vail was 31 years old when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and, notwithstanding his age, he was filling the responsible post of general superintendent of the railway mail service. Had Vision of Future. Even the roost optimistic backers of Ihe telephone then thought that the invention would serve only for local communication, but Mr. Vail had visions of its long-distance use. It was he who inaugurated successive steps of intercity communication. Mr. Vail was known as "the biggest telephone man in the world," not only in tribute to his genius for both mechanical and financial organization, but from the fact that he was personally a man of remarkable physique. He was six feet, two inches tall, and weighed 2S0 pounds. With this great physique he had an infinite capacity for hard work, and a genial disposition. . Of Quaker Ancestry. He was born in Carroll County, O., July 16, 1845, of Quaker ancestry. Theodore Vail was educated at the old Academy at Morrlstown. and for a time studied medicine, but becoming interested in the telegraph, he learned to operate the key and went West in 1868 as an operator for the Union Pacific Railroad at Pine Bluffs, Wyo. Pine Bluffs was at that time the principal supply point for wood for the Union Pacfic, which had not yet been completed. Vail, in the next year, was appointed a clerk in the Railway Mail Service, and here his ability to systematize and organize was soon felt. At that time the Railway Mail Service was in an undeveloped stage. It was just after he had been promoted to the General Superintendence of the Railway Mall Service that he acted against the advice of his friends, and accepted the position of General Manager of the American Bell Telephone company. First President of Company. In 1885 he resigned from the original company and became the first president of the newly formed American Telephone and Telegraph company, which at first made a specialty of only long-distance communication. In 1890, Mr. Vail retired from the telephone business for many years. He purchased a large farm at Lyndon-

ville, Vt, and interested himself in agriculture. In 1893, he obtained from the government a concession near Cordoba, Argentine, built an electric power station there, purchased a horsecar line in Buenos Aires, converted it Into a trolley line, and gave the city a complete modern service. When Mr. Vail retired from these activities in 1904, he returned to Vermont, but three years later he was again called upon to enter the telephone field as president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, of which he had been the first president. One of the most ambitious projects which he then planned was a merger of the Western Union Telegraph company with the telephone company, and

Birds of Indiana You May Not Know

(Furnished by the State Department of Conservation) The robin is a North American bird and its range is east of the Rocky Mountains, and extends from the Gulf of Mexico to Labrador. Audubon recounts that the first bird he saw when he stepped on the rugged shores of Labrador was the robin. Usually the spring migration of the robin" begins about the first of February. In exceptional years It is delayed as late as the first of April. Like many .other species of our birds, the males come first. The robin is about 10 inches long. The bill of the adult male is strong; the head, back of the neck and tail is black; the back and rump are an ash color; the wings are black, edged with light ash; three small spots of white border the eye; the throat and upper part of the breast are black and the whole of the rest of the breast is of

dark orange. The colors of the female are more of a light ash, less deepened with black; and the orange on the breast is much paler and more broadly skirted with white. For his meat diet the robin not only eats angle worms, but bugs, spiders, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, cutworms and army worms. It will be noticed that most, if not all of these are destructive pests. The robin is accused of taking fruit, but it has been demonstrated that less than 5 per cent of his food consists of cultivated fruit. His song which is delicious and

his Eood record, make him a most

welcome bird in Indiana.

The indigo bunting is commonly called the "indigo bird" and some

times the "blue canary." It is about five inches long and has a wing extent of about seven inches. The male and female are quite unlike in appearance. The general color of the adult male, as his name indicates, is an indieo or rerulpan blue, changing

to a blueish green in certain exposures to the light. The adult female is smaller than the male and of an olive color above, sometimes tinged with greenish-gray on the rump and upper tail coverts; beneath dull whitish, more or less washed or tinged with olive; buffy on cheBt, wings and

tail darkest. The indigo bunting

spends the summer with us, coming north the last of May and returning south in August and September. It is one of our most delightful and persistent singers. It is well these birds be protected, for they are most useful because their food consists of small weed seeds and insects. An examination of the stomachs of nineteen disclosed eighteen had eatn weed seeds. Another test revealed that 78 per cent of some examined had eaten canker worms.

OVER-ACIDITY of the stomach h upset many a night's rest. If your stomach is adddiiturbed, dissolve two or three on the tongue before retiring and enjoy refreshing sleep. The purity and goodness of Ki-moid guaranteed by SCOTT & BOWNE MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION '
