THE WEATHER
Nq sadder fate ever befell a day than
that which changed the character of May
Day This flcst day of May has had many
Vicissitudes, Being so well placed In the
calendar Its lot was usually one of blue
skies, bright sun and gentle breezes. So
It was natural that It bhould have for so
many years rung to, the melodies and
laughter of the Maypole merry-makers.
Tnen the Puritans came along with their
miserable long faces and pulld down ethe
JIaypolcs and every other good thing they
utd lay their hands on. In later years
te-re has been an attempt to revive the
May Day festivities. tBut a new blow
was struck at the blithesome nature of
jhf dav It v. as adopted by labor or
fewnizatlons In various countries as a good
Iday for rioting and other demonstrations.
ISo instead of looking forward to May
Day fun nowadays, we look forward to
May Day troubles.
I But in eitner case, wnemer lun or trou.
I bles," they have a fine day fpr it," as the
I countryman recently remarked when In
formed that the world had gone to war.

Monte Crispin Returns to Become

EL PASO, May 1 At tho close
of his first conference with Gen
erals Scott and Funston, General
Obrcgon made tho following state
ment: "I believe American troops
should be" withdrawn from Mexico.
Ii of course, refused to accede to
the propositions of Generals Scott
and Funston. I tried to convince
them that we have the situation
well in hand. I hope Washington
scc3 things ns I do.
"The Mexican people do not take
kindly to an invasion of their
country, and it is to avoid trouble
that I desire tho troops removed.
All of my generals report that their
armies arc in splendid condition
and that peace exists in almost all
quarters. Villa will be caught by
our troops eventually. I think we
arc ready for a long time of peace
in Mexico, and I should hate to
sec it jeopardized by tho interfer
ence of the United States."

INVISIBLE LINE DIVIDES
Careful Investigations carried on In the1
13th and 14th (Tenderloin) Wards hava
revealed that an Invisible line on 10th
street, between Vine street on the south
and Poplar street on the north, now
divides, as surely as would a Chinese
wall, the Bectlon where a strict vice quar
antine Is maintained and the section where
the lid is off.
The 13th Ward, lying east of 10th
street, between Vine and Poplar streets
and running to 6th street, Is under a strict
vice quarantine by the police. The 11th
Ward, on the other aide of the Invisible
line, running west from 10th to Broad
street, is "wide open."
Both wards are in the 8th police dis
trict, which Is in Captain Nicholas J. Ken
ney's division. Both are In the section
generally known as tha "Tenderloin."
Both hold the same class of residents.
But there Is one vital distinction. Tha
13th Ward, closed, la a MoNlohol Wan,
under Select Couifollman John V- Fla

ward, under Congressman John R. K.
Scott. Tho police of the 8th District,

Safety William H. Wilson.
The Tenderloin la a recognized strong

men and squads of repeaters are recruited
and kept there. Schemes for ballot-box

DERNBURG WARNS
AGAINST RUPTURE
Says Consequences- of Breach
With America Must Be
Considered
BKflLIN, May 1 "Germany's course
must not be dictated by temporary tactical
advantages, but rather by the exigencies
of the entire situation, military and
naval," declares Dr Bernhard Dernburg,
former Secretary for the Colonies, In a
lengthy leader In the Tageblatt. entitled
"Germany and America"
Doctor Dernburg's editorial Is distinctly
friendly, conciliatory and hopeful. He con
cludes "It Is to be hoped that an understand
ing will be reached which will conserve
our national dignity and whereby we may
retain our relations with the United States
without having to lessen the force of our
activity."
THINGS TO BE CONSIDEUED.
Doctor Dernburg declares that In mak
ing the decision Germany must take Into
consideration her relations with all neu
trals, the effect of the entrance of a new
and powerful enemy, the conditions re
specting food and raw material In Ger
many, and the possibility of attaining
peace.
"It must be determined what conces
sions will ward off the threatening Amer
ican danger," ha continues, "and in how
far our prospects of defeating our enemies
might be lessened thereby. Briefly, our
entire situation must be weighed In the
balance. We must Jet neither national
sensitiveness nor a super-feeling of honor
govern us, and If we feel strong enough
to achieve victory even If we make Mr
