Encourag ing advices indicating that General ( arranza might heed representations of tlie United States and direct General Obregon t- permit food and supplies to reach Mexico City were received ij.v iv the Ptate Department.

In the course of the day some of the foreign diplomatists here received mes sages from their representatives in Mexico City indicating that the diplo- rritir -nrnM was fteslrous of leaving One message paid the diplomats had ,i.ririv! to leave in a body and asked that arrangements be made for the care of diplomatic intehests by con sular officers remaining. A somewhat similar message was re ceived by the Swedish minister here from his government at Stockholm. !.ate today he called on Secretary Bryan to ask what the United States would advisA In case the foreign dip lomats desired to leave. He Informed the Secretary that his government had been advised of a report that the dip lomatic corps contemplated such action. After his conference with Mr. Bryan the Minister said he would advise that for the present the Swedish legation be maintained in Mexico City to look af ter the increasing needs ot Swedish nationals, tarramji's Invitation EmbarranMlnsr Another embarrassment in the situ ation is the fact that General Carranza two days ago issued another invitation to the diplomatic corps to come to Vera Cruz, where, he said, conditions were not bo uncomfortable. The ministers have consistently refused to accept Car ranza's invitations because they feared thla would be regarded as a recognition of his government. A stream of diplomatic Inquiries poured into the State Department to day concerning conditions in Mexico City. The Spanish and French Am bassadors were among those who called. The latter said that In a dispatch he had received from the French legation in the Mexican capital conditions were described as excessively bad. General Funston. commanding on the border, reported to the War De partment today that a request for tent3 for 26 Mexicans wounded the fighting near Sabinas be provided on the Amer ican side of the line had been receivede by Colonel Hodges, in command at Ea ale I'ass. The Carranza commander at 1'iedras Negras had announced he in tended to move his command against the advancing Villa force, leaving only a email guard. General Funston in structed Colonel Hodges to permit the wounded to cross the line only in case of great emergency and to require guarantees from Mexican authorities that their expenses would be paid. Tamplco Prepares for Attack. Advices to the State Department from Tampico today said Carranza command ers there apparently expected an at tack in the near future, and were rush ing work on defenses night and day. A Carranza force was reported en route to Tampico from the Tuxpam district. It was also reported in Tamplco that !eneral Gonzales with 12,000 Carranza troops was preparing to attack Mon terey. Another Tampico dispatch said Car ranza forces were defeated at Valles, to the west, a few days ago. and had fallen back to Palmas, on the road to Tampico, where fighting was in progress. nilVKSK PHEASANT FXIES INTO VANCOCVEIt STORE.

EXII.ED PHIESTS IX RAGS Clerics Banished by Carranza Tell Tlieir Story iu Xew York. NEW TORK. March 6. The story of how 22 priests were driven from Mex ico y General Carranza because of their inability to raise $500,000 as a tax to be paid to the .Mexican government was told today by members of a group of seven of the priests who reached here on the steamer Montevideo. The priests were in rags. They said they were the last of the 22 and that among those exiled were German, French, Italian and Spanish priests and ona Turk. The 22 priests, they said, and others, numbering 150 altogether, vert sum moned by General Obregon to the Na tional Palace in Mexico City and or dered to raise a $500,000 tax. When the priests pleaded that they could not raise this money they were told that tney would have to do so or leave th countrr. The money was not raised and the priests said they were locked in the palace all nlht. They slept on the utone floor. The next mnrninc 4inin. matio representatives of their several Koveramenis uemanuea meir release. Th demand was acceded to on condition that the priesta leave the country. A special train was pulled into the Buena Vista station, the priests said, and onto this the foreign priests were ordered. When the train reached Vera Cru oiily 11 of the party of 21 were left, several having gotten off at way sta tions. Konr of the 11 failed to appear on shipboard, although passage had been engaged for them, and the other neven wero assigned to places in the steerage. OLTJTPIA, Wash.. March 6. (Spe cial.) Philander P. Ciaxton, Federal Commissioner of Education, following an Investigation of state institutions of iiffhr education made in connection with Dr. Samuel P. Capen, tonight sub mitted a report to the Joint legislative committee on education in which he recommends appointment of a survey commission to eliminate conflicting courses at the University of Washing- on and Washington State College, tie .lso recommends the creation or a State Council of Education to keep hese institutions and the three normal schools in harmony. The Council ot Education, Dr. Ciax ton recommends, should consist of two nlversitv recents and two college regents, one trustee from each of the normal schools, the presidents of the university and college and the princi pals of the normal schools, two mem bers of the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Apparently both the university and the state college have developed with somewhat too much thought of their own welfare and aggrandizement and too little thought of their reciprocal re lations and their special functions In the service of all the interests of the state and its people, the report says. Specific recommendations of Dr. Ciax ton are for discontinuance of the Latin and modern language courses at the state college, the establishment of a separate agricultural school, under con trol of the college at Puyallup for the benefit of Western Washington stu dents, strengthening of the department ot education at tne college and center ing of the technological course at the college. This probably would mean elimination of the forestry, mining, en gineering and architectural courses at the university. Dr. Ciaxton recommends that a more thorough study be made by a commission, however, before the more radical changes are attempted. CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 15. (Cor respondence of the Associated Press.) The notoriety which has attached to Constantinople as a center of white slave traffic bids, fair to disappear un der the vigorous administration of Bedri Bey, the present chief of police, who, as recently reported by cable, has undertaken the raid of several places where the traffic flourished. In this work of suppression Henry Morgenthau. the American Ambassa dor, lias figured prominently. Up to the time President Wilson sent him to Constantinople no personality suffi ciently interested in stopping the evil nr.mtl(.ps had anneared to grasD the situation. Under the capitulations with the powers, whereby foreigners In Turkev were not subject to th aw of thft eountrv. the suppression of the white slave traffic was practi callv iniDosslble. Foreigners were responsible only to their Consuls, and he consular representatives would not work together with the Turkish au thorities. Consul Fall to Co-operate. The nersons eniraeed in the traffic secured passports of four or five dif f Brent rnnntrlpn and would swear as manv 1 1 ttri a noes fl.q their Yarvinsr for tnnn demanded. The Black Sea ports of Rnssin and Rnumania. only a few ours' sail from Constantinople, were made the bases for the export of luman material, which the Turkish fnnitnl consumed. One Russian Consul-General, Peter Pnnafidinfi. inartft everv effort to SUP i"i lhe tmHA insofar as Russian ubjects were concerned, and the Turk ish nfflrinlfl made reneated attempts at a clean-up, but without co-opera tion of all the foreign Consuls no real impression was made. When Mr. Morgenthau arrived u Constantinople, near the end of 1913 b quickly grasped the difficulties ana the first to succeed in bringing the foreign Consuls and the highest u'rkish Dolice authorities together. 11 narties nrofessed a willingness to fin their share In suDoression of the traffic and the American Ambassa dor fortunately had the grip to hold them to their purpose. Police Chief Aids Reform, Last October the Ottoman author! es abrogated the capitulations under hich foreigners had enjoyed their privileged position in the empire, and. lthnmrh the foreiern nowers nave noi icceDted this abrogation, the entrance of Turkey into the war has caused general acquiescence. The time for the Turkish authorities to attack white slavery in the. capital had therefore come. The control of the police is In the hands of Bedri Bey, who for the past year has been in active accord with Ambassador Morgenthau in his efforts to purge Constantinople of the worst phases of white slavery. Bedri Bey has for some months been gathering evidence against the cadets in the city. More than a score of them had their foyer in a quasi synagogue in the most notorious quarter of Gal ota. on the Golden Horn. . The syna gogue was independent of the Grand Rabbinate of Turkey and thus was able to escape religious .investigation. Jn January Bedri Bey's officers de scended on the synagogue and closed its doors. They, likewise raided the places of the cadets and arrested 130 of them.

At a meetincr todav the State Hiirhwav Commission decided to authorize State Highway Engineer Bowlby. to continue J. K. Elliott as supervising engineer to the construction of the Columbia High way in Hood River County. While a mu-inritv of the commission thought from evidence brought out at the hear ing Friday Mr. Elliott had been over critical, it was considered poor policy to make a change with 75 per cent of the work completed. In case of fur ther disagreements It is probable that a disinterested engineer will be callld upon to settle them. Dry, moist, scaly tetter, pimples, boils, and other eruptions come from humors, which may be either in herited, or acquired through defective digestion and assimilation. To treat these eruptions with drying medicines is dangerous. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the old reliable medicine, helps the system to dis charge the humors, and Improves the digestion and assimilation. Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from your rtrue-E-ist. It mav be confidently re lied upon to do its work. It purities the blood, tones the stomach, and builds up the- whole system. It goes to the roots of diseases, and its beneficial results are permanent. It sets things to rights in the system.
