Potter, thp Governor’s Lega . Assistant, Was Designated By the Executive to Act as Superintendent Temporarily—Other News of ths : Day. Albany. N. Y., March 14. —Colonel Joseph F. Scott, superintendent of -atate orisons, was removed from of- > five by Governor Sulzer. Charges oi ■ non-feasance and neglect of duty against the superintendent were preferred by the governor and Colonel Scott was given until noon yesterday to reply. He filed a written answer, i but did not appear in person before ■ the executive. The governor’s act | was announced less than two hours ' after the senate by a unanimous vote had adopted a resolution requesting the governor to refer the charges against the superintendent “to an impartial tribunal for consideration and determination.” Owen L. Potter, the governor’s legal assistant, was designated by the executive to het as su- i perintendeht temporarily. The charges against Colonel Scott con- > eerned mainly the conduct of the Mat- ■ tewan State Hospital for the Criminal ' Insane where Harry K. Thaw is con- ; fined. Colonel Scott, after his removal, ; Issued a statement, declaring that the ; charges of the governor were “trivial Bnd in no way personal. They involve no neglect of duty or incapacity.” he said, “to perform the, duties' of the office. In no way do they affect my character or fitness. In no way do they blind the public eye to the fact that my removal is for personal reasons of the governor,” the statement continued. ■ Concerning the charges that he had ,• favored Thaw, Colonel Scott says: "I have been accused by a clique of < self-styled medical experts of organizing bfattewan state hospital in the ; Interests of Harry K. Thaw. I deny ; theSe accusations as absolutely false. ; The men who have made them in the ! .past, and whoever may make* them j In the future, will have an opportunity ; &f proving them in a court of law.” Al!

MEXICAN TOWN OF NOGALES SURRENDERS TO REBELS U. S. Cavalry on Guard in Arizona See Comrade and Others Wounded by Stray Bullets. Nogales, Ariz., March 15.- —Six. hundred troopers of the Fifth U. S. cavalry are under arips here, where Colonel Kosterlitzky, the federal commander at Nogales, Sonora, just across the border, surrendered to General Obregon, the rebel leader, after a terrific battle lasting twelve hours on Thursday. The federate were driven back from their outposts by a determined attack on the right front and extreme left trenches, the Huerta soldiers fleeing to the cover of the town. This was followed an hour later by their surrender. The fire on the American side was increased by the retreat and when a report reached Lieutenant Colonel Tate that one of his 600 troopei. of the Fifth cavalry had been wounded, he hastily assembled his men. Orders had been received from Washington to withhold fire and these orders were obeyed. Bullets rained on Nogales, Ariz., during the battle and created a critical international situtftion which has not been equaled since the battle of Juarez two years ago. Three noncombatants were wounded on the American side and two women had narrow escapes from injury, one bullet piercing a woman’s skirt while she was on the porch of her home. The killed and injured in the battle could not be learned, but the number is large. , Twenty injured from both sides were brought to hospitals here, but an American physician, who braved the firing line, reported many more wounded who could not be reached without danger to the rescuers. American residents here quickly gave their services as Red Cross volunteers. YOUNG DUPONT KEEPS NAME Delaware Legislature Defeats Father’s Attempt to Change It.

RAILWAY FIREMEN; TELL DE HARDSHIPS Several Give Testimony Before Arbitration Board. WORK HARD, PAY INADEQUATE —- ■ Fact Is Emphasized That Stokers Are Equally Responsible With Engineers for the 5 Safety of Trains. New York, March 14. —Complaints of excessive periods of labor, weakness from lack of food, increase of work, exhaustion from overheat, blistered hands, scorched clothing and added responsibility were made by railroad firemen as witnesses before . the arbitration board on Wednesday j which is seeking under the Erdman act to settle the firemen s demands : on the fifty-four eastern roads for better pay and extra help on large loco- | motives, in one case a fireman toiled twenty-two hours continuously. I' Emphasis was laid upon the fact ; J that the railreads, by the introduction of bigger engines, were getting ! more work out cf the men, without an adequate increase in compensa ticn. David Leinhardt of Tyrone, Pa., a I Pennsylvania railroad fireman, said j that hardly a day passes without one of the seven crews on his division of 117 miles being tied up under the 16hour law’. He declared the men were forced then to sleep in the cabopse, and to get their food wherever they could find it. On account of this condition, Deinhardt declared firemen on the division usually took two days’ rations with them when they went from their homes to work. He complained of the quality of coal furnished by the road, stating that better coal would make the work of the firemen easier. Charles A. Kaufmann, a Baltimore & Ohio fireman, stated that when engines capable of pulling 2,250 tons each were substituted for engines that could pull only 1.300 tons, one fireman was compelled to do the work done by two men, but received only twenty cents a day increase in pay. Several of the witnesses emphasized the fact that the fireman shares with the engineer responsibility for the safety of the train. One cited an instance where a flreman was suspended for seven days and the engineer for 14 days for running by a red block signal. Another said that the fireman’s responsibility extends even to keeping tab on the water in the boiler. Still another witness told of a fireman who had been suspended for 60 days because he failed to notify the engineer that a switch signal was turned. Frederick A. Murphy of Brunswick, Md., freight fireman on the Cumberland division of the Baltimore & Ohio, said he was frecm ntly tied up under the 16-hour law because of the heavy traffic and delay in making sidings. He said he often worked for stretches of 17, 18 and even 22 hours, and made $65 to S7O a month. WILSON WARNS REPUBLIC. President Declares No More Revolts ! Will Be Tolerated. Washington, March 13. —In his first official statement, President Wilson on Tuesday served notice upon Mexico and other Latin-American republics that his administration proposes to support only those governments which are based on law, and not' upon arbitrary or irregular force. He said further, as if he had in mind the overthrow of President Madero by General Huerta, that the United States can have no sympathy with those who seek to seize the power of government to advance their own personal interests or ambitions. General Huerta was not the only figure present on the mind of Mr. Wilson when he wrote his statement. He is aware that Gen. Cipriano Castro is seeking to regain the presidency of Venezuela, and that Gen. Zelaya has the same purpose in mind in connection with Nicaragua. TAFT FOR VARSITY CHIEF. Trustees of Johns Hopkins Discuss His Availability for President. Baltimore, Md., March 14. —That former President William Howard Taft may become president of Johns Hopkins university is a contingency that is being looked upon as quite possible, as the matter has been discussed by members of the board of trustees. Mr. Taft’s long life experience and his proven executive ability are looked upon by sonic Hopkins trustees as just what the university is after, and it is reported that a strong effort will be made to have the former president change his decision to become Kent professor of law at Yale and accept the highest pest of the Hopkins university. .

WILSON TO CALL EXTRA CONGRESS ON APRIL 7 President and Chairman Underwood Decide on Certain Legislative Matters at Conference. Washington, March 14. —President ; Wilson, it was stated at tho- White : House on Wednesday will issue his call for the special session of congress within the next few At a con- j ference between the president and Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, the tariff and other I legislative matters were discussed at length und these things w ere decided upon: Extra tariff session to be called by President Wilson for April 7. Necessity for tariff revision down-ward-to be recommended by the pres- 1 ident as the most urgent legislation ; with reference to needs of revision of | the money laws and the early passage of legislation insuring Philippine leg- ’ islation. i Special messages will be sent by the president, in which his legislative I views will be set before congress. A conservative revision, as planned j by Underwood and his committee, was I approved, instead of a sweeping down- ' ward cut which would disturb legiti- | mate business unnecessarily. Neither the White House nor any of the members of the cabinet will interfere with the work of die ways and means committee. Free trade members of the ways j and means committee will be given no comfort by President Wilson in ; their demands on Underwood for re- I ductions in tariff below the point the majority of the ways and means committee may decide as necessary to produce the needed revenues for the government. (■'requent consultations between j President Wilson and Underwood on j disputed important duties carried in ! the bill will be held. Harmony between the majority of j the ways and means committee and the president will be maintained. Mr. Underwood said afterwards that the tariff schedules would be ready when the special session is called. The committee has voted on about one-third cf the items in the tenta tive schedules.

MBWONAL SUNWSOM Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director ot Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) * LESSON FOR MARCH 23 THE EMPTY TOMB. LESSON TEXT—Mark 15:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—“Now hath Christ I been raised from the dead, the first fruita i of them that are asleep.” I Cor. 15-20. Some teachers may prefer the study : of the lessen of IsraeF'and Rebekah. ! Gen., 24, but because of its relative ‘ value and its relation to the day we celebrate we prefer to consider the Easter lesson. ; There are five main points in the evidence St Mark presents to show I us that Jesus was the True Sob of I God. (1) the testimony of John the Baptiser, 1:2-8: (2) the baptism of i Jesus. 1:9-11; (3) the transfiguration, 9:2-8; (4) the testimony of the ceii- ! turian at his crucifixion, 15:39, and i (5) the testimony of the resurrection of Jesus. Os the ten different appearances of cur Lord, Mark records j four, (a) to Mary, 16-9; (b) on the way to Emmaus, 16:12, 13; (c) in the upper room, 16:14, and (d) the ascension, 16:19. Purchased Spices. Today we are to consider the first iof these appearances. From a careful reading of this and the parallel accounts ikjs evident that as soon as the Sabbaft' day had closed and the i shops were opened these friends of ‘ Jesus purchased spices that early the ' next morning they might annoint his - dead body. Matthew 2S:I R. V. would , indicate a possible earlier visit on i Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. I. “In the morning of the first day lof the week." vv. 1-8. Starting while It was yet dark (John 20:1) these Cui-thful friends hurried on their way ■ to the tomb. It was Mary ?>lagdaleue who first reached the tomb, Matt. 28:1, Jehu 20:1. she who had received much (Luke 8:2) loved much. Nor | was it the Virgin Mary that had the I privilege of first beholding him (v. 9). | It was the love of these women (v. 1) that brought them to the tomb of him, “which should have redeemed Israel” !‘ (Luke 24:21). That all the followers , were shaken in faith the records clearly suggest, yet love remained, hence this desire to annoint his body. This I service though unnecessary (Matt. I 16:21, 20:19) was, however, rewarded i by the revelation of .the angelic mesI sengers. Serious Question Raised. Pursuing their way a very serious question was raised (v. 3), but God had already removed the difficulty (v. 4), so, too, if we will but be “looking up” (v. 4 R. V.), God will give us all necessary knowledge. (Jas. 1:5), and I will enable us to overcome all dlfficul--1 ties. The empty tomb is the standing > rebuke for all skeptics. If he be not I risen let his enemies tell us where ; and what became of his body. The true basis cf Christianity is Im the risen Christ, see I Cor. 15:1-18. Had the friends pondered well the words of Christ they would not have wasted their time and money seeking to annoint a dead body. That was the reason why they did not know and i that 13 why we do not know many i things we ought to know about our ! Lord- It is noticeable that none of the men were at the tomb and when they’ were told that the Lord had risen they refused to believe an “idle tale”—see Luke 24:10, 11. It is in this evidence of the depth and genu- | ineness of a love that was willing to serve Jesus at the time when nothing more was expected of him that causes th^ir-conduct to appear in such a better light than that of the men. Few people today would arise so earty for the Christ. Before going to the tomb today the probabilities are we w-ould appoint a committee of Investigation, and have a survey, thereby preparing ourselves in a practical way for the difficulty they encountered. It is this cold, practical, calculating spirit that so often hinders the church of Jesus Christ. It was a serious difficulty; all the precautions that Jewish and Roman authority could Invent had been taken to guard against his followers, but God had intervened (Tfbm. 8:31). It was not necessary to roll away the stone for Jesus to escape (John 20:26), but rather that his followers might get a sight of the empty tomb. Entering the tomb they found, not his body, but a young man, and later two in dazzling apparel (Luke 23:4) stood beside them. When Mary returned from the city, having told the news, the two angels were sitting one at the head and one at the feet of where the body had lain. John notes that the disciples found the napkin I which had bound his head lying fold- ; ed in its original folds In a place by Itself (John 20:7). In the midst of all their perplexity as to what had become of the body of him whom they loved they failed to recall his words (Luke 9:22) and hence could offer no solution of the difficulty. But the God of mercy supplied their need (Phil. 4:19) and hence the glad triumphant message of the angel, “He is risen; he Is not here; behold the place where they (enemies and friends) laid him,” v. 6. Cf. Matt. 28:6. Then, as though to make their knowledge of service to others, he commands them to go and tell the disciples “and Peter” and that they are no more to look for him there for “He goeth before you into Galilee,” v. 7. IL “And they went out quickly," w. 8-11. It is well to reverence holy places and to remember sacred asso- ' ciaticns, but God is a spirit and cannot be localized.- Os course the women would like to dwell at that place in meditation, but having had revealed to them the fact, their duty was to publish it abroad. A definite knowledge imposes a definite obligation of testimony. There is a wonderful wealth of tenderness in the two words “and Peter.” He, the leader of the apostles, but also he who had denied. How thoughtful, how merciful | in our Christ

AROUND THE CAMP Ur FIRE gO WOMEN AT ARMY ROLL CALL Mrs. John H. McKay Tells How She' ‘ Answered for Her Sick at Camp Randall, Wis. For six months in the year 1865 Mrs. John H. McKay, who now Ilves at 6816 Wentworth avenue, answered at the dally roll call of Camp Randall, Madison, Wls., in company with the soldiers of the camp. She did I this In order that her husband, who ; died nine years ago, might not become . technically a deserter from the army. “We were living in LeClalre, lowa. 1 In 1864,” said Mrs. McKay. “My husband had tried to enlist in Wisconsin and lowa, but he could not meet the physical requirements. In October of 1864 he succeeded in entering thfc Ninth Illinois regiment. He werib- to Rock Island to enlist and then came ; back to LeClaire.' The next day he | went to be sworn in and expected to return to say good-bye to me. 1 wait i ed on the river bank for him that evening, and the man who had gone with j him came back alone, and said that my husband had already been sent to i Quincy on the way to Springfield. | “He went south into Tennessee. 1 have all the letters that he wrote tc I me then. Not one of them was lost, i and every one of my letetrs reached I him. I had gone back to Madison J with my two children and was living with my parents. I used to send him 50 cents and two or three postage ■ stamps in every letter, and I think that the money kept him alive. “I intended to go to Tennessee as an army nurse with the wife of the j governor of Wisconsin, but the governor was drowned at St. Louts and 1 ■ had to take care of his wife. I became nurse at Madison and saved ; all the money I could. There were ' many southern sympathizers in Madison—copperheads, they were called | —and I was sometimes ordered out of ; sick rooms when the patients found out that ray husband was in the northern army. “My husband was sick and he was at last sent to the hospital at Jeffersonville, Ind. The matron there wrote , me a letter saying that she hoped I [ would raise my children so that they i would meet their father In heaven, because he would be there by the time I got her letter. I remember at about that time seeing my father coming from the postoffice with tears in his eyes and I called out to him: ‘Oh, is John dead?’ and he said: ‘No, he’s a tittle better, but Abraham Lincoln Is ' killed.’ That was in the middle of ' April. “I was going to go to Jeffersonville, I but my brother-in-law offered to go ini stead, and I gave him money to bring | back my husband or his body. My : brother-in-law went there and at first i he could not get into the hospital. ; He inquired about his brother and I twice he .was told that my husband i was in the deadhouse, but, as it turn- ! ed out, it was another man of exactly j the same name. My husband was still > living, but the -doctor said it would I not be for long. His brother nursed I him for four weeks and then brought : him to Madison. On the way they j stopped in Chicago and nay husband i managed to get a big meal oL sausage and pancakes while his brother was ’ not looking. “In Madison I took my husband ■ home. He was assigned" to Camp j Randall, but the officers at the camp ! said I could take him to the house If I would report at the camp every day. (jo that he would not be a deserted. So every morning before breakfast I went down to the camp and in through the gate, where no othef women were allowed to pass, and I answered for him at roll call. My father or my sister or my brother-in-law often went with me, but they were not allow-ed to enter the camp. Because he was allowed to stay at home my husband was saved to live almost forty years.” ’ Matrimonial Advice. For awhile during the Civil war General Fremont was without a command. One day, in discussing Fremont’s case with George W.
