iO. MEETING
Plan to Hold 1914 Gather
ing Is Rejected.
DEBATE WAS VERY SPIRITED.
Committer May Tut Reforms Up to
State Organizations Vote Was 35
to 14 Against Liberals' Scheme
to Save Republican Part.
'Washington, Dec. 17. By a vote at
3T to 14 the Republican national com
mittee rejected tho plau to hold a spe
cial nationnl convention next spring.
j The fourteen delegates who voted for
, tho resolution supporting the conven
: tion were from Indiana. Kansas.
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan,
I jnssouri, New Mexico, Kw York,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylva-
West Virginia.
When tlie committee went wito se
cret session it was practically assured
tunt tue Plnn fr n special convention.
ns Imposed by the progressive elc-
ment. would be abandoned and that a
compromise would bo effected whereby
the committee would submit to state
organizations for ratification the vari
ous reforms in party procedure and
management under consideration.
The discussion at the dinner given
by Chairman Ililles indicated that
most of tlie leaders feared that a spe
cial convention would tend to empha
size tho present factional troubles in
the party and probably knock Into a
cocked hat plans for harmony now be
ing formed toy ivnrlous state organiza
tions. The early Indications were that be
fore adjournment the committee would
adopt a unit 'Of representation that
would curtail the influence of the
south in Republican conventions, such
unit to bo recognized as party law
upon acceptance 'by two-thirds of tlie
recognized organizations In the states.
Tho committee Will pledge itself to
other reforms advocated by the pro
gressives. In the resolution proposing
a new basis of representation designed
to minimize southern influence in party
councils it is provided that recognition
shall be given to state primary laws
and that a canvassing hoard, Instead of
tho national committee, ns in the past,
shall pass upon the credentials of del
egates applying for admission to con
ventions. Cummins Fights.
Tho resolution thus outlined, which
represents a compromise t)etween those
who ndvocated a special convention to
carry out party reforms and those who
were opposed to such a gathering, was
Introduced by National Committeeman
Warren of Michigan, who U identified
with tho so called regular faction of
tlie party.
Although the discussion at tho nilles
dinner seemed to foreshadow the de
feat of tho plan to hold a special con
vention, Senator Cummins and other
progressives carried tho fight to tho
Moor of the committee. They argued
that since it seemed to' bo agreed by
practically all leaders that the party
should reform its methods of doing
business, such reforms should be
adopted in a convention where the full
est sort of publicity for tho party's
work of rehabilitation would bo af
forded. Mr. Cummins had tho support of
Representative Woods of Iowa, who,
as chairman of tho Republican con
gressional committee, spoke for that
organization. Chairman Woods re
minded tho national committeemen
that tho congressional committee had
gono on record in favor of a special
convention "to bo held at tho earliest
practicable date."

AN AMERICANIZED
We Have Started Hew Current
of Civilization, Says Ferrero,
IS IT PROGRESS OR NOT?
Noted Historian Wonders If the Differ
ent Order of Things, Which He De
clares Is Destroying Ideals Cherished
by Our Ancestors, Will Make For a
Better World.
America has started a new current
of civilization In the world, according
to Gugllelmo Ferrero. the Roman his
torian. Professor Keriuro in u lec
ture before the Societe des Confer
ences Etrungcres lu Paris recently
contrasted America and Europe and
declared that new standards of Judg
ment must be formed If Europe is to
understand America at its true value.
"We urn accustomed." said he, "to
regard things solely in terms of quali
ty. We look upon the riches of Amer
ica, for instance, with a kind of dis
daln. They are often regarded In Eu
rope in tho same light us the riches of
n barbarous peoplo which, to acquire
them, has forsaken man's superior
spiritual activities. It is not tieccs
sary to spend much time in America
to see that Americans are very far
from being devoted solely to the pur
suit of wealth
"I have also heard it said that Amer
icans ure without taste for art; that
their cities are hideous. They are pic
tured as paying large prices for any
thing that is antique or passes as such,
without distinguishing tho beautiful
nnd the authentic from tho mediocre
and the false. ,
Americanizing Europe.
"It is unjust to say that tho Ameri
can is indifferent to beauty. Moreover,
who would dare t allirm that tho
progress of the arts, letters and sci
ences Is nt 'tliis moment the principal
ipreoccupation of tlie old world? Islsten
iro what is said about us. We hoar
nothing but talks of perfecting eco
nomic equipment the exploitation of
iron .-and coal mines, industrial develop
ment and how (to Increase trade. If
all this Is American, thou Europe must
be Tindergolug Americanization at an
amazingly rapid pace."
M. Ferrero sees in this new spirit,
which has developed since the discov
ery of America, an immense historical
imovement Which threatens to over
throw the very foundations of the
present civilisation.
"The Idea of this progress is as
wrguo and indefinite in its meaning,"
wuid M. Ferrero, "as it nooular and
poworful In taction. But it'ls a strangu
phenomenon that just in this century
of so cnllea pfRrcss everj one seems
to be complaining of the decadence of
things.
Questions Progress .'Abroad.
"Axe wo progressing or aro wo not?
Can it bo 'that this .progress, for which
we -sacrifice our repose, -our tranquil
lity and sometimes even -our lives, is
only an illusion? This isitho supreme
problem which presented 'itself to me
as the result of .nltl I saw and learned
during my travels in 'North and South
America.
"In former times quality was more
important than quantity. Wo havo
now reversed ithe world Jin which our
ancestors lived, piling up riches has
become out aim. 'Wo havo -won liberty,
destroyed almost all the limitations of
the past, but wo have hadiln tho proc-
sa to nhnndon almost .ill ,t.h irtenls of
artistic, moral or religious perfection
held In veneration by our ancestors.

f.i-.. .; ,, f
of quality. One is typified byitho civi
lization of America and the -other by
tho past civilization of Europe. Either,
judged by tho other's standard, will
appear deficient,
"You cannot reproach a presidential
candidate in tho United States vho is
compelled to make half a dozen
speeches during tho day if his -stylo is
i9t so polished nor his plirnnes so
nicely turned as those of Cicero. Nor
could you expect such gems of oratory
from Cicero if he had been called upon
to comply with the same demands as
are made upon the modem orator"

VILLA BOM U. S.
Rebel Leader Promises to
Stop Outrages.
GARRANZA NOT RECOGNIZED.
6paniards and Other Foreigners Will
Be Protected Bryan Says Govern
ment Is Obliged to Treat With
Leaders of Insurrccto Forces.
Washington, Dee. 17. General Pan-
cho Villa, leader of the Mexican rebel
forces lu Chihuahua, has been prompt
to comply with the demands of the
United States that the rights of Span
iards and other foreigners in tlie ter
ritory under Constitutionalist control
be respected.
It was announced at tho state ue-
partmpnt that tho mission of Marlon
Letcher, American consul nt Chihua
hua City, to General Villa had been on
tlrely successful. Letcher made strong
representation to the rebel chieftain
on behalf of tho Spaniards who com-
plained of mistreatment when Chihua
hua Was occupied by the Constitution
alist army. General Carranza was ap
pealed to by the United Stntes at tho
same time, and It is understood that
he Informed Villa in strong terms that
outrages against foreigners mu3t
cease.
Secretary Bryan declared thnt it was
wrong to draw tho conclusion that be
cause the United States had dealt with
the Constitutionalist military authori
ties it had In any sense recognized
the rebel government.
"Where a general fs in control or in
charge of a xonc,'" said Sir. Bryan,
"we make our representations to him.
as it Is obviously useless to make such
representations to the Mexico City
government, which has no way of en-
, forcing Its will In that section which
I it does not control; also if a general is
reported to be under tho control or au
thority of ntiother we have tried to
look to the latter for assistance in pro
tecting foreigners."
Rebels Drawing Closer.
Mexico City, Dec. 17. Rebels drew
closer to Mexico City. A force of
2,000 Zapatistas arter a skirmish with
federals at Milpa Alta, only seventeen
miles from the National palace, wero
reported to have renewed tho battle.
But even more menacing than Zapa
ta's guerrillas is the impending finan
cial crash. Practically all tho Impor
tant business houses have posted no
tice that they will not accept hills of
state banks In payment for purchases.
It is expected that General Huorta.
who has been made dictator with ex
traordinary powers In the departments
of war, finance and interior, will issue!
a decree making acceptance compul-
lory.
Notices have also been poster by all
banks, with the exception of the Cen
tral bank, which is the holding bank
of a majority of the state institutions,
that bills will not be accepted on the
banks of Chihuahua, Guanajuato, San
Luis TotosI, Hidalgo, Queretero, Coa
bulla and the Oriental of Puebla. The
state banks of Sonora and Durango
aro soon to bo added.
It Is generally conceded that the
flnancial condition of the Huerta gov
ernment Is critical. It is believed that
unless European bankers come to the
president's aid tho government will de
fault on the interest on the National
railways' debt and tho government
bonds. Huerta Is having great diffi
culty paying army and government sal
aries. Special tax collections shortly to be-
001110 payable aro expected to tide the
Svui-uumjih. over ior not more man
two weeks. After that merchants, who

Atlanta Warden Won't Let Writings
Bo Taken Into Prison.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17. Warden Wil
liam H. Moyer has Issued an order bar
ring from the Atlanta federal prison

When Hawthorne was released he
made statements reflecting on the man
agement of the prison. He alleged that
the convicts wero Insufficiently fed,
nnd many were tortured for trivial of
fenses and their health ruined. It Is
supposed that Hawthorne's attacks on

The order is a great 'disappointment
to the S00 convicts, who 'wero eager to
read Hawthorne's story of his life in
the Atlanta prison.
