He was a man's man, a boy's man, strong in his adherents to every activity. He possessed a fine sense of humor, a conviction of duty, a gentleness of manner and led a clean Christian life. There were two great causes of his noble character and high-mindedness. First, what lie received by heredity and was bestowed by God, and second, what he himself deliberately chose to put into his life." Dr. Stone, who spoke on "The Gift," advised careful planning with respect to the future of the splendid social and recreation center which has been erected. "Expect testing," said he. "Some things you will start to do and then there may be mistakes. Expect and extend voluntary co-operation.

Get Ilie boys interested, but rememher that this is a supplement to the home."

WEDNESDAY EVENING, URGES INTERVENTION OF U. S. IN MEXICO [Continued from /Hrst Page.] • tees for the Uvea and safety of for eigners. More information BUS sought from all the State Department's sources. Ellseo Arredondo, General Carrania's ambassador here, received official confirmation of the killings and asked his government for more details. While the White House and the State Department gave evidence of action toward the punishment of the Villa bandits who executed the Amer icans, there was no outward evidence of any change in the Mexican policy. The usual talk of intervention was aroused hi Congress, and in official circles, hut tliere was no indication tlmt the Administration, at this stage at least, plans to do more than look to General Carranza to put down the outlaws. Satisfaction From Carranza Secretary only announce ment on the case was that the United State would look to Qeneral Carranza "lor satisfaction." The question of what steps the United States will take depends upon development of the facts. President Wilson was in communi cation early to-day with Secretary Gar rison and Secretary Lansing and issued instructions to send to the White House all facts as rapidly as they were received. Advices that at least sixteen Americans were killed were received by Major-General Scott, chief of staff of the army, and also by the State De partment. At the White House it was declared that while something undoubtedly would be done, what steps the govern ment will take have not been decided. .Many Americans Remain At the State Department officials re ferred to the fact that Americans had been warned since the United States decided to recognize General Carranza to leave the States of Sonora and Chi huahua, which were then regarded as Villa strongholds. They said that In spite of the official warning more than 600 Americans still remain In the dis trict. including 200 Mormons at Casas Grandes. An official list of the dead received by the State Department agrees with the list oontalned In the news dis patches with the exception that it does not contain the name of Murray Cros sett. of San Antonio. Execution Confirmed Washington, D. C., Jan. 12.—Eliseo Arredondo, General Carranza's ambas sador here, received confirmation from Carranza sources of the execution of the Americans and has asked for fur ther details. His advices are the first confirmation from Mexican sources. Both Senate and House Shocked by News of Killing of Americans By Associated Press Washington, D. C., Jan. 12.—Ad ministration senators said they were shocked over the killing of Americans, hut were inclined to discourage hasty utterances or action. Chairman Stone, of the foreign relations committee, said he thought senators should wait until official reports had been received. "It appears that the slaughter of American citizens was the deed of bandits '' said Senator Stone. '"Such outlawry might occur in any country. What can be done, I do not know. 1 think that members of Congress should set all the facts available regarding this crime before discussing it." Sherman's Resolution "Be it resolved." says the text of 1 Senator Sherman's resolution, "That it j is the sense of the Senate, the House 1 concurring, that the government de- I mand of Carranza, who has been re cently recognized as the head of an established government in Mexico, th&t he protect and save harmless lives and property of Americans and other aliens | In that country, and "That the other governments in the Western Hemisphere that lately joined in such recognition be Invited to unite in that demand, and that in the event of failure of Carranza promptly to fur nish such protection, that the Presi dent be and he is hereby requested to Invite the co-operation of such govern ments heretofore joining with us in intervening for the restoration of peace and good order and the protec tion of the lives and property not only of American citizens but Other aliens and of peaceable citizens, and that when such order is restored and a gov ernment adequate to continue and sus tain such protection is established, that the United States withdraw from that country; and Abandon "Watchful Waiting" "It Is further resolved to be the sole j and only purpose of this governmnet i to enter the territory of Mexico for the purposes indicated." When the House met a storm broke there. Representative Dyer, of Mis souri, presented a resolution asking the President to inform Congress if he did not think the time had arrived to abandon the "watchful waiting" policy and Invade Mexico and to sub mit to the House the,fullest details regarding the dealings of this govern ment with Carranza. Every Step Will Be Taken to Bring Bandits to Justice, Lansing Says Washington, D. C., Jan 12. —Secre- tary Lansing issued a statement in which he said the State Department "feels that it took every possible pre caution to prevent Americans from exposing their lives In a region where guerilla warfare Is in progress," and that ,'lt is to be deplored that its ad vice was not followed. "Every step will be taken to see that the perpetrators of this das tardly crime are apprehended and punished," he said. Secretary Lansing's statement fol lows: "In October the department sent the strongest kind of instructions to the consuls in the States of Chihuahua and Sonora. calling upon them to use every means in their power to per suade Americans to leave immediately for United States territory and these consuls were instructed to employ special riders to carry this message to Americans located in Isolated sec tions. A few came out. Some, re gardless of the disturbed conditions existing in Mexico, did not heed the warning. "It was only two or three week* j ago that Villa detained thirty Amer icans in the very district In which the unfortunate Americans now reported killed, met their death. Great alarm was felt for the safety of these thirty Americans. Recently the Villistas are said to have stated that they would kill Americans in Chihuahua territory, in order to force American interven tion. "Within the past week or ten days, three employes of the Hearst ranch In I'hlhuahua near the place where Americans are now reported slain, were reported to have been executed. Two of these three employes made their appearance at El Paso some days ugo hut the third appears to have been killed. "The department feels that it took every possible precaution to prevent Americans from exposing their lives In a region where guerilla warfare Is in progress. It Is to lie deplored that i its advice was not followed. Senator Declares Time For "Watchful Waiting" in Mexico Is Past N By Associated Prus Washington, D. C., Jan. 12. Al though the Introduction of Senator Sherman's resolution In the Senate passed without debate the speech making broke out later when Senator Galllnger the Republican leader, de clared the time for watchful waiting had passed and that the United States now must take some steps to protect the lives of Americans in Mexico. Chairman Stone of the Foreign Relations Committee, declared he was in sympathy with the general Idea expressed by Senator Galllger. "Every one will agree," said Sena tor Stone, "that some kind of punish ment will be meted out to the assassins who committed this crime. The senator from New Hampshire says he thinks the time has come when some permanent step should be taken to protect the lives of Amer icans in Mexico. Would the Senator object to informing the Senate and the country just what he thinks our government should do?" "My record during this controversy will show," returned Senator Galliger, "that I have carefully refrained from criticizing the government or from making special pleas to protect life and property in Mexico. I have realized the difficulty confronting the administration and have no disposi tion to envbarrass it slmfriy because it is not of my own party. But here is a very serious matter confronting us. "We are told that 17 American citizens are stripped naked and stood up and shot. A little while ago the country was shocked almost Into con vulsions by the fact that one Amer ican had lost his life by a torpedo striking a ship, and there was serious talk of demanding reparation. "That death has been multiplied seventeen times. If I were President I would demand protection for Ameri can citizens of Mr. Carranza and if he were unable to give it I would ask Congress what my further duty was." Senator Borah took the floor, dis claiming as did Senator Galllnger that he spoke for his party. "There Is no reason at this time why the American people should not let the sentiment on this question be known," he declared. "The Mexican people expected to see this country, in harmony with its tradition, enter upon an aggressive policy for the protec tion of American citizens. They brac ed themselves against that attitude. But, Mr. President, then began side stepping. pri»crastinating, apologetic, un-American policy, that Is not end ed yet. "To-day we are told seventeen citizens have been shot to death. Fortunately it was impossible to smother this incident. It is only part of the story, for much of what has happened south of the border has been smothered. "If the lid was just taken off at the State Department and the Amrelcans could see the reports of the Brazilian minister on the killing of American citizens and the insult to the Amer ican flag, it would not take them long to decide what they wanted to do. Shall we wait longer? For one. I would demand protection for Ameri cans of Carranza and if he did not give assurance of protection in a way that would leave no doubt as to Its being carried out. I would Intervene."

Woltz turned to run and bumped Gardner into the street. As the former magistrate lay in the high way Woltz fired twice at him; then he stepped over to the fallen man, poked the gun within a few inches of his stomach and distinctly said: "Now, you dig! DIG!" Gardner didn't need to explain that he fully understood "dig" t*o mean the making of hasty exit from the scene; District Attorney Stroup, the court and the Jury seemed to understand per fectly. too. "What did you do?" de manded the district attorney. Where upon Gardner gave the briefest ex planation ever made. Gardner "Dug" "I 'dug'!" said he. When Woltz was finally lodged in the borough lockup he "kicked up" some more, Gardner explained. The prisoner had to be beaten before he could be subdued. Even then he tried to get out of a cell. Gardner had to i threaten him with a shovel, where i upon Woltz bitterly "invited" the i magistrate "to take off his coat and | settle it like a man." "Well, what did you do?" persisted the district attorney. "I declined the invitation." promptly replied Gardner. The case was given to the jury just before court adjourned for the noon recess.
