'NOG ALES. Arix.. March 21. Feigning
intrusion of federal forces from Guar
amas. the California gulf port ii
Southern fonora, officials of 'the In
surgent state decided today to hasten
the campaign against Naco and Can-
inea, the only remaining; federal gar
rison In the north. After crashing Gen
eral Ojeda at Naco. on the Arisona
border, and Colonel Moreno at Can
snea. an American mining; town below
the border, all available state troops
will be rushed apainst Guaymas.
. The report today that 4000 troops are
being hurried by transport from F
rifle Coast points to Guaymas, where
1000 federals already are placed, will
occasion great haste in completing the
northern campaign.
State Troops Mobilised.
While neither Naco or Cananea now
contains more than 350 federals, nearly
1500 atata troops mobilised today at
rel Rio, midway between Cananea and
the border. General Obregon, head of
all state forces, was In personal com
mand of the column, whurh moved on
three trains with ample supplies of
breadstuffs and ammunition, two field
piece and several machine guns.
Leaving: Ojeda temporarily to his in
ternal problem of preventing desertions
over the border Into Arizona, It was
decided first to attack Cananea, re
turning Immediately by Tail to Naco.
Frostier Mut Bo Caardea.
Already state troops Are mobilizing
along- the Sonora Railway, just north
of Guaymas. to prevent any sudden
sally of the federals against Hermoslllo,
the state capital. But not until the
northern campaign Is completed can a
force be organized to oppose any
formidable advance of Huerta troops.
Also the state authorities must guard
the Chihuahua frontier.
While General Ilabago cannot save
the vicinity of ChOiuahua City, because
of activity of constitutionalists to the
south of him. It Is feared that other
ez-lnsurrecto leaders will follow An
tonio Rojas, w:ho has entered Western
Sonora.

ager. State officials declare that Muller
had written letters to Mexico City
asking that federal troops be sent to
subdue the Sonora rebellion and In oth

dice of Negroes to Work Has
Been Removed and: They
Have New Conceptions.
Salesmen and Dealers Out In Fall
Dress in Keen Rivalry Closing
Tonight to Be Gala Event.
Wind, snow and rain notwithstand
ing, a good crowd turned out to visit
the automobile show last night for
"society night" and if the same rate of
attendance is maintained the commit
tee hope to have between $1500 and
$2000 clear profit to return to the
dealers pro rata to the space they took.
A feature of the evening was the sing
ing of Miss Diana Bonnar and her
company, who appeared by the courtesy
of the Multnomah Hotel management,
while McElroy's band has been the
steady standby of the whole week. .
For tbe final evening everything Is
In readiness. It is gala night and the
spirit of levity is to reign towards
the close. Though confetti is not to
be allowed on account of the trouble
It would cause with the cars, ribbon
streamers may be thorwn ad lib, and
every one Is asked to make themselves
at home. The show opens as usual at
1:30 in the afternoon, but will remain
open until midnight. At least two
small dance parties have been planned
in addition to the dance that the deal
ers and their friends are to have when
the show closes. .
Rivalry between the dealers was in
tense last night, not on account of the
cars, but as to who was the best
dressed salesman in tbe room.
Among them evening dress was de
rtgeur. and the fight for supremacy
lay between Louis Von Klein, who has
been doing the publicity work, and
Captain W. H. Gray, for they appeared,
one In a shining- topper, the other in
an opera hat.
A. p. Stark, tenor, sang with Miss
Bonnar and Hubert Johnson, the ac
companist, was at the piano.
One thing which has given the com
mittee great pleasure has been the
presence at the show of those dealers,
who for this reason or that were un
able to see their way clear to ex
hibit. The majority declared their in
tentions of showing on the very next
occasion.
ARANT WANTED AT PARK
Klamath Falls Residents Vrge Re

KLAMATH FALLS. Or., March 21.
(Special.) There has been much spec
ulation here as to what will be done
In the matter of the superintended ?y of
Crater Lake National Park. W. F.
Arant's term has about expired and It
'c presumed that the place will be given
tc a Democrat.
Ai elTort was made to have Arant
resigti before the inauguration of Presi
dent Wilson, so that Will G. Steel,
formerly of Portland, now residing in
Medford. might be appointed. Mr.
Steel is a Republican. also, and if the
programme had been carried out he
would have held the place four years,
but Mr. Arant refused to be a party to
the scheme.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city has asked that Mr. Arant be re

Ridgefleld Couple Married.
VANCOUVER. Wash, March 21.
(Special.) Married on Good Friday, . y
Judge Back, of the Superior Court of
Clark County, was the fortune of J. V.
Hamblln and Mrs. Margaret McKln
stry, of Rldgefield. Both bad been
married before.
"There is little hope for any race
until it has learned the disgrace of
idleness and the dignity and beauty of
labor." -
"We don't call it manual training at
Tuskegee. We don't call it domestic
science at Tuskegee. We call it
work."
"There Is a vast difference between
being worked that's slavery and in
working that's freedom."
With such crisp, thought-packed sen
tences as these, Booker T. Washington,
of Tuskegee, Ala., where negroes are
taught to think and work and be use
ful, held an audience that filled the
big auditorium and the galleries of the
Lincoln High School for two hours last
night.
At times Dr. Washington was. as he
told of the long struggle to lift his
race from Ignorance, earnestly elo
quent Again he dropped easily into
the negro vernacular and told funny
stories of his people.
Throughout his address Dr. Wash
lngton kept uppermost the thought
that education, as It Is understood at
the Tuskegee Institute, is not a matter
of erudition, of mere knowledge for
the sake of knowing, but of prepara
tion for the business of living:.
Prejudice Against Work Gone.
"To be free and to be educated." said
Dr. Washington, "meant Just -one
thing to the negroes release from
labor. But I think I can safely say
that we have reached that point in our
development as a people where virtu
ally every lota of the old prejudice
against work has been eradicated."
A note of comparison between his
race and the white crept into Dr. Wash
ington's address, and he declared that
he sometimes thought that It was a
privilege to belong to a race like his, a
new, young race, with its future be
fore it.
"My race has but little past," he said.
'Some of the other races remind me of
the old negro woman that I met on the
road one morning near Tuskegee.
' 'Where are you going. Aunt Mary?
I asked.
'Quick as a flash she answered, 'Mis-
tah Wash'n'ton, I'se1 done been where
1'se gwine.'
"Some of the races, like Aunt Mary,
have been where they are going their
future is behind them.
Work Deemcl Privilege.
It Is a great privilege to do as we
are doing at Tuskegee. We are mould
ing human beings, we are shaping the
destiny of a race, determining where it
Is going."
Dr. Washington told how the old-,
fashioned "beyond-the-Alps-lles-ltaly"
commencement exercises were banished
from Tuskegee. Before many years he
made up his mind that this form of
commencement didn't mean a blessed
thing, and he told his faculty that next
year there was to be a radical depart-
ure In the way of commencements.
The first "oration" In the new kind of
a commencement concerned a subject
In which everyone was Interested and
which everyone knew something about,
the subject of eating.
A young woman cooked and served
a plain, inexpensive farmer's meal on
the platform, explaining each step as
she worked.
Advantages Are Skews.
"This kind of oration has two ad
vantages over the old kind," said Dr.
Washington. "First, the stuoent knows
what he is talking aoout and, second,
the audience knows what he is talking
about.
"And this is what we are trying to
do at Tuskegee. We are trying to ar
ticulate in education the human needs
of the people In that part of the world,
and we believe that mental strength
and mental culture enter Into this sort
of an education."

ignation of Henry Lane Wil
son to Be Accepted.
WASHINGTON, March 21. William
P. McCombs, chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, tonight Issued
a statement announcing that he had
declined to become Ambassador to
France.
President Wilson is making an effort
to fill the more important diplomatic
posts before the extra session of Con
gress begins so that he may devote his
energies otherwise when the time for
legislation arrives.
The President is desirous of filling
thn American embassy at London as
quickly as possible and Is said tb hope
that Dr. Charles w. tiiioi, lormer presi
dent of Harvard, will accept, though
there were intimations among some of
Dr. Eliot's friends today that he mignt
decline.
George W. Guthrie, former Mayor of
Pittsburg end a Democratic state cnair
man in Pennsylvania, has been chosen
to be Ambassador to Mexico, but it is
likely that an announcement will be
deferred until the State Department
formulates its policy with regard to
recognition of the Huerta government.
It is certain, however, that the resigna
tion of Henry Lane Wilson, present Am
bassador to Mexico.has been submitted
and will be accepted.
That Professor Henry Buchard Fine,
of Princeton University, can be Am
bassador to Germany if he chooses was
reaffirmed by callers at the White
House today.

in the selection of John K. Mott. the
Y. M. C. A. leader, to be Minister to
China, and is said to bo urging Mr.
Mott, on behalf of the President, to
accept the post.

Austria, Brazil, Russia, Turkey and
Japan no definite selections have been
