ALIENS TAKEN ON ‘U. S. WARSHIPS AT TAMPICO
- ‘
Census Director to Ask the Pleas
' ' '
ure of President Wilson in
Advance, However,
WASHINGTON, April 12.—1 t is under
stood that William J. Harris will call
on President Wilson to learn if it will
be agreeable to the President for him
to resiga as Director of the Census in
June, 1915, to assume the Governorship
in the event of his election. ;
Mr. Harris is seriously considering
making the race. He does not want to
resign his present duties, however, but
to hold on until he can reorganize the
Bureau according to his ideas. He has
already carried out a number of re
forms and greatly strengthened the
force. When he took charge he found
nine out of ten of his chiefs of divi
sions and other gssociates were Repub
licans. There are not nearly so many
now, although changes are necessarily
slew under the civil service. In addi
tion to bringing up to date the badly
delayed work of the Bureau, Mr. Har
ris effected a saving of <S\O(},O(‘A) in one
bureau alone, that devoted to the sta
tistics of cities.
*lf President Wilson, who has shown
a great interest in this work an‘l been
kind enough to appoint me to “super
vise it, should not be willing for me
to resign in June, 1915, said Mr. Har
ris, "I will, of course, serve for the re
mainder of the administration, 1 could
not well do otherwise."” :
In discussing the prospects for this
year's State campaign. Mr. Harris said
the lawyers have monopolized the of
fice of Governor long enough and the
next administration has problems to
solve which call for the experience of
a business man.

T.ouise Brandt, fighting for a share of
the $15,000,000 left by William Ziegler,
the ‘‘baking powder king,”’ again loses
under decision of the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court, that she is not a
legally adopted daughter.
This setback comes to the Jowa
school teacher despite reliance on the
Mosaic low. Her attorney, Henry Mc-
Cartney, in vain read to the courts the
words of Abraham, “Lo, I am childless,
but one born in my house is mine heir.”

Fascinating Marchioness Declared to Have Won
, English Officers to Anti-Home Rule.
Special Cable to The American.
DUBLIN, April 11.—The charm of
a heautiful woman has been thrown
in tne balance against the interests
of the British Government in the Ul
ster crisis, with the result that the
Government is being worsted. The
fascinating Marchioness of London
derry, gossip openly declares, is re
sponsible as much as anyone else for
the revoit of the officers at the Cur
ragh camp, who are threatening res
ignation rather than obey the orders
of War Secretary Asquith.
Lady Londonderry is winsome and
charming. She possesses every ele
ment of feminine attractiveness, and
at the same time brilliance and de
termination, And, more, she is a
member of the famous old Castie
reagh family, whose traditions have
ever been opposed to the present
home rule principles.
Lady Londonderry has been active

Volunteers Give Skin
To Save Scalded Man
RICHMOND, April 11.—Responding
to an advertisement in which $5O was
offered for human skin to be grafted
on the legs of J. ¥. Trice, of Louisa
County, who was scalded in a rail
10oad accident several months ago,
more than a dozen persons came to
Memorial Hospital to-day and volun
teered to give up as much of their
skin as is needed.
Already the wife, two sons and
several brothers and slsters have con
tributed sections of skin.
KNIFE FOR MINSTREL.
BALTIMORE, April 11.—George
(“Honey Boy"”) Evans. the minstrel,
is to become a patient at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, where, it is report
ed, a serious operation will be per
formed on him,
in Ulster for some time, on the side
of anti-home rule, and there are
many who are ready to believe the
open rebellion of the army officers at
Curragh is due to her {nfluence and
tascination.
The officers, most of them of Irish
blood, have vowed that they will nev
er consent to fight Ulster to enforce
home rule in that province. If they
are called upon to do so, they declare,
they will resign at once; such an ac
tion would disrupt the British army
in Ireland.
Lady Londonderry is endeared to
many of the officers because of her
family and her staunch Irish tradi
tions, as well as for her own -»rson
ality. In London ‘they are referring
to her as “enchantress,” “a modern
Cleopatra” ani “Circe,” and the con
vietion persists that she is in the
main responsible for the action of the
British officers,
Farmers Sue U. S.
For Quarter Million
HUTCHINSON, April 11.—8 Suit has
been filed here on behalf of 110 farm
ers against the United States for
$370,000.
The action is the result of a failure
of a Government irrigation plant at
Deerfield, for which the farmers
agreed to pay. The Government holds
a lien against the farmers for the
amount named in the petition, and
the owners want their land cleared of
incumbrance. Secretary of the In
terior Lane is made a party to the
suit.
The irrigation plant was guaran
teed to furnish two acre-feet of water
per year. The first year it furnished
one foot of water, the next year half
that amount, and the third year the
plant shut down.

VERA CRUZ. MEXICO, April 10.—

Part of the northwestern section

The rescue o 1 foreigners imperil vl

Idiers to reinforce the rebel troops
{ who have ben fizhting for two days

1 This action by the Constitutionalist
commander indicates that his men at

‘ WASHINGTON, April 10.—"Ta=
l Waters-Pierce oil plant and other for
'elgn property must be protected «r
| you will be held personally respon:i
‘ble for any damage thereto.”
This is the message that Wwa3
transmitted to General Scaragosa,
commander of the Federal garrison
at Tampico, by Rear Admiral May),
commanding the American squadron
tufi Tampico, according to wireiess
advices to t he Navy Department to
‘Jay. No reply has been received to
‘ Mayo's communication.
The American commander's report
stated that the Federal gunboat Vera
(C'ruz had maintained a steady fire on
the buildings oeccupied by the rebeis
’near the Waters-Pierce plant, and
| that several oil tanks had been fired.
I Dispatches from El Paso stating
|thut British Consul H. G. Myles had
| called on Foreign Minister Fabela, of
| General Carranza’s (Cabinet, and de
' manded protection of British inter
| ests caused intense surprise to ihe
!Statn Department to-day.
% As this demand is said to have
ihr*en authorized by Ambassador
Spring-Rice, it is expected that the>
| Constituticnalist (tovernment will
'now .alm to have been recognized by
' the Pritish Government. Hitherto
' Great Britain has conducted its ne
lguuutinns with the Constitutionalisis
through American oflicials.
| However, tireat Britain has no
| present intention of recognizing Car
ranza or of treating officlally with
him, according to Viscount Campden,
attache of the British Embassy, to
day.
I “Reports to this effect probably
' originated thr.ugh the fact that our
consuls are dealing unofficially with
Carranza and his lieutenants, just as
iure the American officials,” he said.
Lis TRAVELERS WARNED.
i WASHINGTON, April 11.-—Apropos
lof the recent seizure of Mrs. C. W,
i.’\lurse's pet meadow ants and Secre
| tary of State Bryan's pet llama, the
' Department of Agriculture has issued
a 4 warning to travelers against trying
‘to bring in odd birds, beasts or
plants, The Government does not
want them and won't have them.
“The classic instance of misguided
enthusiasm,” according to the de
partment, “was the introduction of
the gypsy moth in 1869. It has cost
the country millions of dollars. So
bave the San Jose scale and the
English sparrows. In fact, one-half
of the pests that afflict the farmers
of the United States were imported.”
