MEXICAN OFFICER PIQUED TROOPS AT BORDER TAKEN AS RE- FLECTION ON HONOR. Commander at Mexican Aaka That Drilling of American Troops In View of His Men Cease. CALEXICO, Cal., April 25. "The coming of American troops in such numbers to Calexlco can have but one meaning war," asserted Colonel Juan Lajero, commander of the Mexican fed eral garrison at Mexicali. yesterday. The statement was made at a meeting attended by .Lajero, Captain Arthur Poillon, commanding the United States Cavalry here, . and Colonel W. G. Schrelber, commanding the battalion of the Seventh Regiment, California Na tional Guard, which arrived here to day. Lajero, at the meeting, said he was alarmed at the number of troops here and reiterated his intention of preserv ing peace and protecting American property across the line. He said the arrival of additional troops today and the expected arrival tomorrow morning of another troorj of United States cavalry, with two ma chine guns from Monterey and a Na tional Guard machine gun platoon from Los Angeles would merely mean that he would have additional difficulty on his part in keeping his command at Mexicalf quiet. Lajero asked that the drilling of American troops in sight of the Mexi cali garrison be discontinued, which may be done. Captain Poillon and Colonel Schreiber assured the Mexican commander of their intention of pre serving peace on the American side. Residents of Calexico who Dassed into Mexicali during the day reported the feeling among the Mexican officers that the coming of the American troops was an insult to the Mexicans and that it gave the impression Colonel Lajero's wora tnai ne would preserve peace and protect property was doubted.

SPENCER "Insurgents" Lose Fight For Place on the Board of Woman's Club. "MACHINE" WELL OILED Organization Grows Richer Because lues Long; Lapsed Are Paid so More Could Vote Mrs. G. J. Frankel Is President. BY LEONE CASS BAER. The war situation in Mexico is a drop in the proverbial bucket to the factional fight that was waged in the Woman's Club Friday over the elec tion of directors. Though outwardly calm, the waters of the club ship's sail ing has been most bitter and disturbed ever since the battle began between the present administration and the In surgent forces. The crux was reached when the election was held yesterday afternoon and Mrs, F. Eggert was elected director over Mrs. J. D. Spen cer by the majority of 18 votes. Long before 1:30 o'clock, the time set for the- opening of the polls, clus ters of women lobbyists packed the entrance to the Women of Woodcraft Hall, and bands of eager, anxious vote seekers rushed out to . meet the un loading automobiles, and even scurried in groups of two or three for a block In either direction from the building as prospective voters hove in sight. Today the coffers of the club are richer by much moneys. Old Dues Are Paid I' p. Women club members, who had not attended a meeting in three years, were brought in automobiles by one faction or the other to cast a vote. Club members owing dues cannot vote, and dues of long standing were paid up so that the vote might be cast. The scene in the downstairs lobby was lively. Women lobbyists buttonholed their sisters and cast scornful eyes at the "other side." Every woman was given a blue or buff slip with the "sug gested ballot" on it. The administra tion had printed the buff one. which urged the election of the president, Mrs. Eggert, who had, according to the other faction committed the unheard-of mistake In club ethics in sending out circular letters, a postcard and the suggested ballot to club members, in which she asked members to write her name on the ballot as directed. This letter and ballot and card had been the result of Mrs. John Manning's withdrawal from the list of candidates and Mrs. Eggert's decision to run in her place against Mrs. J. D. Spencer for directorship. The Insurgents were forced to get out a ticket of their own, inasmuch as they felt their candidate, Mrs. Spencer, had been discriminated against. Electioneering was at fever heat be fore the polls were closed at 3 o'clock yesterday. Women frankly quarreled over the merits or demerits of the cause they represented. One promi nent clubwoman in hysterics bewailed the fact that her bosom friend of many years had refused to speak to her be cause she had voted in direct opposi tion to the other's cause. The elevator carried more members to the meeting than had ever turned out before nnder similar circumstances. Lobby Warnings Posted. On the floor where the election took place no electioneering was allowed. This by order of the administration was also considered an innovation by the insurgents. Big placards signed by Mrs. W. H. Fear. Judge of the election, warned members not to lobby, and these rules were adhered to as far as actual elec tioneering went. But pantomime sug gestions, sibilant whispers and nudg ing, accompanied by showing of bal lots held in muffs, betrayed that the sign was obeyed under protest. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway was borne triumphantly in almost on the shoulders of an admiring band of in surgents. Mrs. Duniway, who later in the afternoon gave a splendid little talk when the club was in session, re marked in the presence of a reporter that she "deplored the machine con trol of the Woman's Club, and that while Mrs. Eggert's election would keep the machine in power for one more year, that in that year the club members, 'she hoped," would not longer be enjoined from expressing their own minds." Mrs. Duniway was of the opinion that the present brining and dissen sion in the club would end pleasantly. "Women are only daughters of men," Bald Oregon's grand old woman, "and we must not expect too much of them. When this affair has blown over they will hug each other and forget It with a kiss. Just as men bury political dif ferences by a handshake or a visit to the nearest bar. And when the ma chine is entirely ousted then Portland will have a Woman's Club that is what its name signifies for womanly women." Watches and Clocks Differ. The polls closed, as announced, at S o'clock. A dozen women came In after that hour and were not admitted. Differences in clocks and watches caused a great stir at the door as two women were barrea out, but when it was proved to the election Judge that the women had left tne clubroom and arrived at the door a minute before 3 they were admitted to vote. The tellers of the election were Mrs. C. N. Rankin, Mrs. A. King Wilson, Mrs. C. W. Hopkins, Mrs Harry Chipman, Mrs. N. T. Palmer. Mrs. M. A. Ogden, Mrs. F. C. Whltten and. Mrs. T. P. Wise. Mrs. W. H. Fear was Judge of the elec tion. A total of 227 votes was cast. Mrs. G. J. Frankel received 220 votes as president. In this vote seven were "blanks." For vice-president, Mrs. Robert French, of the administration faction, was elected by 105 votes; Mrs. Paul Trullinger received 100, and in this ticket there were 22 "blanks." "Blanks," Mrs. Fear explained, were caused by some of the voters voting for three instead of for two candidates. For second vice-president, Mrs. J. W. Tifft, also of the administration fac tion, was elected by 113 votes; Mrs. G. L. Buland received 89, and Mrs. Harry L. Vorse received 2. In this list there were 23 "blanks." For recording secretary, Mrs. C. W. Le Noir, the administration's choice, was elected by 116 votes; Mrs. P. L. Thompson received 87, Mrs. F. C Whltten and Mrs. F. H. Whitfield re ceived one vote each, and there were 22 "blanks." "Fusion- Candidate Geta 218. For corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. A. Petit, choice of both factions, re ceived 218 votes; Mrs. F. H. Whitfield received one, Mrs. W. P. Strandburg one, and there were seven "blanks." - For financial secretary, Mrs. D. L. Povey, choice of both factions, re ceived 225 votes, with two "blanks." For .treasurer. Mrs, John .Van, Zante, choice of both factions, was elected, with 218 votes, and nine "blanks." For auditor, Mrs. B. M. Denison was elected, with 201 votes; Mrs. N. T. Palmer seven, and four contestants, Mrs. L. G. McAloney, Mrs. J. M. Reeves, Mrs. A. L. Stephens and Mrs. Jackson, each received one vote. In this list there were 15 "blanks." It was for the directorship that the fight was waged. Mrs. Herbert Garr Reed was satisfactory to both factions and received 199 votes. It was between Mrs. Eggert's and Mrs. Spencer's ad herents that the battle was strong. Mrs. Eggert received 125 votes, Mrs. Spencer 107. Mrs. John Manning, who had -withdrawn her name as a con testant, got one stray vote; Mrs. M. C Banfleld received one, and Mrs. p. L. Thompson received one, and Mrs. Rob ert C. French got one. Ii this vote there were 19 "blanks." When the returns were read, fol lowing a rule of the club, there was no demonstration or applause of any sort, but when the club adjourned tongues wagged and ears must have burned.

ANOTHER well-filled house of Shakespeare devotees and lovers of good English and good acting came to pay tribute to the artistry of the Strat-ford-Upon-Avon Players last night at the Heilig. Their interpretation of the comedy "Much Ado About Noth ing" was a scholarly one and one of the big delights of the 'week. The company took four curtain calls after the last curtain an unheard of thing in Portland. Not one of the essen tials in the way of atmosphere, scenic equipment or tho reading of lines that goes to make a play appealing was lacking. F. R. Benson, who played Benedick, strayed from the paths of traditional or popular Benedicks. His was probably the Benedick Shake speare had in mind. The entire company handled the com edy in high standard. Even the pan tomiming and the quiet reserve which characterized the work of the players brought home anew the truth that it is quite as much what an actor does not do as what he does do in Shakes peare that contributes to his success. Lovelier scenes, or ones more suitable to the story could not be painted in the imagination. The garden scene alone is like a splendid mural paint ing come to stage life. Mr. Benson's Benedick was a wit, a gay dog and invariably a gentlemanly veteran. He was a buoyant, breezy, carefree bach elor, never once stepping over the border line of good breeding and in telligence in his observations or "stage business." ' Dorothy Green's Beatrice was a de lightful lightsome picture, a perfect gem of womanly wit and. delicious badinage, every word of which she gave full grace and value. The other roles are not the most complex in Shakespeare's comedies, but call for good acting and dramatic understanding. Henry Caine gave a great accounting of the moods and tenses of Constable Dogberry. His enunciation, not more intelligible than the others in their roles, was, how ever, an especial treat. Inasmuch as Dogberrys seem to have failed miser ably In other company productions we have had of this play. Naught but unstinted praise can be given to Mur ray Garrington's Claudio, the Don Pedro of F. Randle Ayrton, the - fine singing of Frank Cochrane, who played Balthazar, Don Pedro's servant, and whose Biondello in "The Taming of the Shrew" is memorable. Marion Foreman's Hero was a study of a high order, particularly strong and re splendent in effect in her portrayal of despair before the altar. This atfernoon the comedy of "As Sou Like It" will be presented and tonight the engagement of these players draws to an end with "Ham let." Mr. Benson will portray the role of the melancholy Dane. It is said to be his greatest Shakespearean achievement. AUTO CLUB HAS BANQUET 130 MK.MBEItS AND FRIENDS GATH ER AROUND IMPERIAL BOARD. Varied Music and Witty Flve-Minate Speeches Make Annaal Affair One of Enjoyable Entertainment. One hundred and fifty members of the Portland Automobile Club and tbeir friends sat down last night to the an nual banquet of the club held at the Hotel Portland. The occasion was one of enjoyable entertainment, free from any hint of a business nature, while the few speakers were limited to five minute addresses. The Ad Club Quartet, introduced by George L. Baker as the "pride of the village,' "gave numerous selections, re sponding to many encores. With the coffee. Toastmaster W. J. Clemens, president of the club, intro duced Rufus C Holman, chairman of the County Commissioners, who told of work being done on the Columbia River Highway. Little Miss Harriet Borland, accom panied by Mrs. Adams, rendered a char acter song that captivated the diners. after which Commissioner . Dieck ex plained his pet hobby, "rounding the corners," pointing ' out that it had greatly eliminated accidents. He asked members of the club to support bis policy of public safety. Then followed "Mother Macree," daintily and beautifully sung by an other girl. Miss Moreita Hickman, also accompanied by Mrs. Adams. John F. Carroll urged the club's sup port of public markets and the farmer, who then would support heartily the building of lasting roada Without good markets the farmer had no great need for good roads, said Mr. Carroll, but with better markets the club would find the farmers were with them heart and soul. B- F. Irvine then lauded the objects of the Portland Automobile Club, inci dentally telling a good Joke about typ ographlcal errors and commending the work of Commissioner Holman. The banquet was brought to an end by a clever conversational song by Mrs. E. M. Hogan.

"This morning when Mexico City awoke it was surprised -to find the statue of George Washington not on Its pedestal, but at the foot of the statue of Benito Juarez, a national hero." The Times correspondent in Mexico City In a dispatch published today says: "The indignation of the Mexicans at the aggressive action of the United States is increasing and I observe a grim determination on their part to fight for their flag and liberty.
