Quits His Post.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Annrchy nnd
terror hold sway In Mexico City, accord
In to reports from rellablo sources re
ceived early today. Departure of Pro
visional President Gnrza, whlto not un
expected, plunged tlio city again Into a
state of desperation.
Frightened Inhabitants are quitting the
lty. Isolated robberies and some Gen
eral looting have occurred.
Looming abovo all la tho spectro of
famine. Food prices, already abnormnl,
have tftkyi a sudden Jump to prohibitive
figures. Tho iTc'edy are suffering and
threatening rebellion.
As predicted when Garza assumed
otnee, his rulo Is apparently doomed to
be short-lived, nnd ho probably will bo
succeeded within n few daya by General
Felipe Angeles.
Capture of tho city by Carranzlsta
forces under General Obregon, however,
was a possibility which Administration
officials fear today. General Villa was
expected to direct a speedy move against
such an nttack.

GOVERNOR INVITES
EXPERTS TO CONFER
ON WORKMEN'S BILL
Admits There Is Possibility
That Compensation Meas
ure Will Be Declared Un
constitutional. fhom a STrr connrsroNDES'T.
HARRISDUnO, Jan. 28. Governor
Brumbaugh hai asked men nationally
prominent In Inbor affairs nnd In econom
ics to como to Hnrrlsbtirg next week to
confer with Attorney Genernl Brown, who
Ib now engaged In drafting tho workmen's
compensation bill which tho Governor will
ask the Legislature to enact.
John Mitchell, former president of tho
United Mine Workers of Amerlcn, Is
among thoso who havo been Invited. He
Is a member of tho Workmen's Compensa
tion Commission of Now York. Others
who will attend Includo Wnllaco D. Yaple,
of tho Ohio Commission; William E.
Stubbs, of tho Kmployers' Liability Com
mission of New Jersey; Frank Fcehan,
tho former miners' leader In Pittsburgh;
C. F. Bonner, of Tnmaq.ua, a member of
tho miners' union; Frank Feeney, of Phil
adelphia, and F. H. Bohlen. of Philadel
phia, sccrotary of tho Industrial Accidents
Commission of Pennsylvania.
Tho Administration leaders ndmlt thero
Is gravo clanger of the act being declared
unconstitutional.
Governor Biumbaugh Is In favor of ex
empting farm and domestic labor, but
this very featuro of tho proposed act has
brought opposition from ecomonlsts. who
have declared It to bo class legislation.
Tho bill drawn by tho Industrial As
cldents Commission, which was defeated
In the session of 1013, failed becauso It
Included farm and domestic labor In Its
provisions. Tho rural districts united In
opposition to It, tho fanners declaring
they employed few men regularly, whllo
at harvest time they employed men for
only two or three days at a tlmo. They
nrgued that It was unfair to compel them
to provldo compensation.
Governor Brumbaugh agrees with them
In this, but the opposition of tho farm
ers two years ngo has paved tho way for
opposition to tho now measuro that 13
being drafted. The small employers, the
men who own small factories or manu
facturing plnnts and employ few men,
aio raising the point that if tho farmor
Is to bo exempt becauso ho employs few
men, and thoso Irregularly, they should
be exempt nlso. '
UNIVERSITY PAPER RAISES
QUESTION OF FREE SPEECH
Editorials in Red nnd Blue Stir Stu
dent Body.
Free speech at tho University of Penn
sylvania becamo an open Issue as tho
result of one of two editorial articles In
the January Issue of tho Red and Blue,
tho student publication. One artlclo
criticises the action of the university
authorities in Inviting "Billy" Sunday to
speak at the institution.
Tho other editorial Is entitled Re
grets." No university publication has
criticised tho administration in years, nnd
students aro interested In tho possible out
come. Some think It will mean a now era
for college Journalism; others that it will
mark the end of tho Red and Bluo unless
it returns to Its former policy. The "Re
grets" editorial follows:
"We had hoped to present In this Issue
a critical analysis of Pennsylvania undor
grnduate life. It was to havo been
written by a very nblo member of tho;
faculty whoso views upon tho subject
nre Just the sort wo ought to hear. But
It would hnvo displeased the authorities,
ho said, and the article was not written.
We regret tho loss of tho article, but
more deeply do wo regret that a member
of our faculty should think that he la
not at liberty to express his views."
The editorial referring to Sunday Is a
follows: .
" 'Th.j man (ho was speaking of Dr.
Charles D. Eliot, of Harvard) who denies
tho power and justice of God Is n liar.
He Is so low down he'd need an airship
to get to hell.' Tho Rev. William A.
Sunday, in his sermon on Sunday even
ing, January 4, 1915.
"It Is generally held "that the purpose
and aim of this University Is to mnke
every student a scholar and a gentleman,
that Is, as like Doctor EI(ot ns possible.
Is thero not, then, a slight Inconsistency
in the University's Invitation to this
man who holds scholars and scholarship
In such contempt and who so flagrantly
violates the rules of common courtesy
to como uplift the students?"
