Tests made at the Tacoma smelter seem to have established the effective ness of the process beyond a doubt, the sand assaying $?0 a ton.

PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN War Supplies for Loyal Be Protected Against Into Wronjr Hands Forces to Falling -Army and Navy I'liconcerned. WASHINGTON. March 30. President Madero, of Mexico, has decided upon a vigorous campaign against the rebels, and the American Government has con sented to permit the shipment from the United States of arms and ammunition for his soldiers. These Important de velopments in the complicated Mexican situation were learned here today. It is, tlie intention of President Ma dero to replenish his diminished army with fresh recruits, throwing them around the strongholds of tho rebels. The problem of arming them has been simplified by a decision of the United Stales authorizing, by special permis sion in each case, the Mexican govern ment to buy munitions of war in the United States and ship them across the border. Shipments Already Made. Under this policy three consignments of arms and ammunition already have gone Into Mexico. The joint resolution of Congress under which President Taft's recent proclamation forbidding the exportation of munitions of war was issued authorized the President to make exceptions at his discretion. The attitude of President Taft, as explained by officials here, is to permit,. tile 2.1-e.x lean government to buy whatever it pleases In this country. This is no vio lation of neutrality, it is added, as the belligerency of the revolutionists has not been recognized. Privilege Denied to Rebels. Extreme precautions will he taken to prevent war supplies consigned to the Mexican government from falling into the hands of the rebels, to whom Is de nied the privilege of receiving such ma. terlals under the President's proclama tion. If the Madero plans carry, the rebel force now operating in Chihuahua, soon might find itself on the defensive, being taken in the rear by a northern army and attacked in front by the considera ble regular army now at Torreon, com posed of parts of the three columns originally dispatched under as many leaders to attack Orozco's forces in the neighborhood of Chihuahua. Meanwhile the American Army and Navy remain idle, so. far as Mexico Is concerned. SHOE WORKERS MAY UNITE Manufacturers Think Amalgamation or Unions Will 1-ossen Strikes. BOSTON. March 30.

Appreciation of Physician's Devo tion to Relative 'Causes Miss to Attend Man In Last Illness. SEATTLE, Wash., March 30. (Spe cial.) Gratitude in its most .ideal form Is exemplified in the story of tho care given Dr.. John Tiedemann during his last Illness by Louise Clark, a pretty, blue-eyed young nurse residing on Seattle Heights. Dr. Tiedemann died yesterday at 8707 Greenwood avenue of hookworm dis ease, contracted four years ago when Dr. Tiedemann was employed in labora tory work In San Francisco. A short time ago a sister of Miss Clark died of tuberculosis, but before her death Dr. Tiedemann gave her the most de voted attention, caring for the girl day and night toward the end of her life. Then Dr. Tiedemann himself fell ill. His disease had progressed so far that he was unable to continue the practice of his profession, and finally ho had to take to' his bed without a cent in the world to pay for nursing. Louise Clark learned of his condi tion. She went to his house and took charge of it, and she nursed the physi cian with a devotion even greater than that he had shown her sister. Not content with this. Miss Clark and her sister, Rose, went out among the neigh bors and to the other doctors- of the city and obtained contributions in money and merchandise for the sick physician. Dr. Paschall, speaking of Miss Clark's work, became enthusiaistic. "She is the bravest as well as one of the sweet est little girls I have ever met." he said. "We had an idea at first that there might be some romance between the middle-aged doctor and the little nurse, but we found there was nothing of the kind. It was just a case of real human gratitude, and it does me good to think of it." WOMAN'S INTUITION SAVES Mrs. H. C. Henry, or Seattle, Puts Gems in Chair and Burglar Foiled. SEATTLE, Wash., March 30. (Spe cial.) Fifteen thousand dollars' worth of jewelry was overlooked by a burglar who ransacked the home of H. C. Henry, the wealthy banker and philan thropist, 'because of intuition, which cannot explain, having impeueu Mrs. Henry, just before she lert the house, to hide the valuables in the false bottom of a chair. Shortly after the members of the family and guests left the house, which is at 1117 Harvard avenue North, a thief entered and systematically went through the house, taking every small article of value, he found. The totaj value of the missing things is about $1000. NABOBS OFF FOR PANAMA Harold S. Vanderbllt Denies He Is Engaged to Miss Scars: NEW YORK. March. 30. (Special.) Harold S.

POSTAL RECEIPTS LARGER Mouth's Hiiililiiiy; Permits Total 093 as Compared With 836 for Cor responding Period of 1 Oil Export Trade Heavy. Portland's commercial activity dur ing the month has been extremely sat isfactory, statistics showing that all lines of business were, on the whole, better than they were the correspond ing month of last year. There wero substantial gains in most of tho im portant activities. Commercially and industrially, Portland is making excel lent progress. There is a feeling of good times upon the city, notwithstand ing tlie disturbing influences of the political campaign. Bank clearings, postal receipts, real ty transfers, lumber shipments and the foreign wheat trade made big gains. Building permits exceed' the number is sued in March. 1911. although the total valuation was a trifle less. Business ai. the Portland stockyards continued good all month. Bank' Showing Excellent. As an Indication of Portland's solid financial condition, the bank clearings for March made one of the best records in the history of the city. The totals reached $54,836,323.77. The biggest monthly record was made last October, when the clearings totaled $55,132,1113.4 1 The clearings exceeded the totals for the same month last year by $3,343, 7S4.11. This is "SHio.fc..-uer cent, the clearings for March, 1911, being $.'.1.491, 539. B6. Bank clearings for March in the past four years have increased nearly $20,000,000. In March. 1909, the to tals were $31,998, SOI. 09; In March, 1910. they were $45,343,912.95; In March, 1911, they were $.11. 492,539. G. and in the month just closing they were $54. X3fi. 323.77. This is enual to about 56.5 per cent and is considered one of must noteworthy increases in any tho of the large cities of the country. Building Record Encouraging. While the figures in the City Build ing Inspector's office do not show unite as big totals as for the corresponding month of last year, the showing in reality is much more satisfactory. There are plans ready for structures that call for a total expenditure of about $750,000, which are not repre sented in the month's permits. If these buildings had been authorized the to tals for the month would have been far in excess of those of last March. On the other hand, the number of per mits were exceptionally big. the totals reaching 992 as compared with S36 for the corresponding month of last year. This is a gain of 96 permits. One feature of the building situation in Portland is that there is a more general activity in construction. There are less big structures under way, but there are many more small buildings and dwellings in course of erection than ever before. This situation in dicates that the progress of the city is along solid and substantial lines. Permits' Total Is Large. Since the first of the year there have been issued 2317 permits, as against 1820 permits for the first three monfhs (Concluded on Fafie )
