PRIDE TO BE RESPECTED Mexicans Are Sensitive to Ridicule and Americans Are Cnder In structions Xot to Offend Tliem by Laughter. rlHlD HEADQUARTERS, March 25. la aeroplane to Coiumbus, March 25. Americans who reside in the portion ef Mexico through which the Army chasing: Villa has marched, express the belief that, barring conflict with the Mexican army, these American troops will have an opportunity to establish business prosperity between the United States and Northwest Mexico. There is at present no indication at field headquarters that any fighting is likely except that sought with the members of Pancho Villa's band. There fore the Americans in touch with the pursuing troops are watching ati un usual phase of the troop movement: namely, the manner in which the Americans treat the Mexicans as in dividuals. These Americans declare that they look for the United States Army, which pays as it goes, to create a good im pression. Mexicans Senitlve ta Ridicule. "We. who expect to remain in Mexico after the troops are out, said Bishop A. B. Call, of the Mormon colony at Colona Dublan, today, "are watching thU movement with much question in our minds over its results. If the American troops leave a good impres sion on the minds of the Mexicans, we can remain with safety after the soldiers go. We hope, for example. that thev will not laugh at the Mexi cans whom they may see. If they laugh at the Mexicans, especially at the Mexican soldiers, we-" Americans who remain in Mexico will sooner or later in some manner pay the score for this injury to national pride. "Some of the Mexican soldiers are Fmall boys. I know of one from here who was only 11 years old. Sometimes the boys do not cut a good military fisrure. on account of their youth and bare feet. But they do not like to be laughed at by American soldiers and their commanders object to having fun poked at their men. Little ThinE Will Count. "If the American troops going through Mexico treat the Mexicans with con sideration in the small things, the first big step will have been made toward establishing cordial relations between Mexicans and Americans. Without this care for little things, our expedition runs the risk of not accomplishing much. The Army officers are trying to get the soldiers to show the Mexicans the consideration which will go so far toward establishing friendly relations In this country. "The Americans also must pay their "way as they go, which they are doing. An army which' pays as it goes will make a deep impression for good in this country. The Mexicans have been ac customed to receiving payment in de preciated money, sometimes no pay ment at all. When this is paid in American dollars and when they dis cover the value of such money, they are bound to wish for American money to come back into their country after the Army leaves, and that will furnish the American commercial opportunity. Business Men "Will Be Welcome. "Business men can come into this country after the troops are out, if they have left a good impression as H.hey are trying to do, and will be welcomed. The Mexicans will try to seek that market which pays them in the same dollar they received from the Ameri can Army." Bishop Callsaid today that the coloni pnd all it3 possessions remained safe?, until .an American, on reaching the border, was quoted anonymously as paying that Mexicans were looting American property. The wide dissemi nation in the United States of that falsehood, so far as that colony was oncerned. Bishop Call said, angered Mexicans in that section. Immediately bandits began looting colonies syste matically. PLANT DOUBLES OUTPUT AMERICAX PRODUCTS SOW WORTH TWICE MARK OF 1000. Exports Lead World, WaKes Increase and Capital Involved Is 23 Per ', Cent More Than in 1010. NEW . YORK. March 25. Manufac tures of the United States have, doubled in value since 1900, according to an analysis of 1915 census returns thus far published, made by the foreign trade department of the National City Bank. These figures show that the total output for 1914, the year covered by the 1915 census, will amount to S24, 000. 000, 000 as compared with less than $12,000,000,000 shown, by the cen sus of 1900; The compilation shows that the man ufactures of the United States now are double those of any other country in the world. Germany's output in the year preceding the outbreak of the war was less than $12,000,000,000, while those of Great Britain in . 1907, the latest returns available, were about $S, 000, 000. 000. Those of France prob ably are about the same as Great Britain's. In manufactures exported the United Ptates now leads the world, the total for the calendar ysar 1915 having been $1.-84.000,00.0. while that of Great Brit ain, usually the world's largest ex porter, was $1,500,000,000. Normally, the United States ranks third in the exportation of manufactures, being ex ceeded by both Great Britain and Ger many. The statistics thus far available chow an increase of about 7 per cent over 1910 in the number of wage-earners, while the wages paid show an in crease of 19 per cent. The capital in vested in manufacturing increased 25 per cent since 1910, and the value of output about 17 per cent. Negroes Wed in La Grande. LA GRANDE, Or., March 25. (Spe cial.)

PRISONER UNDER GUARD Only Aged Parents Are Permitted to See Dr. Waite in Hospital, 'Where He Is Kecovering From Effect of Drugs. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 25. Mrs. Arthur W. Waite, wife of the New York dentist, who has been held in connection with the death of her father, issued a formal statement to day saying that as evidence against her husband "increased from day to day," she was compelled to accept it as true and vould let the law take its course. In her statement Mrs. "Waite said: "No previous statement said to have been made by me is authentic. I have given nothing whatever to the press. Faith Shaken br Proof. "When I was informed of the serious charges against my husband I could not believe . them true. It seemed to me impossible that a man who had been so uniformly kind tw me ana apparently so loyal could be guilty of the crime with which he is charged. "My faith in him began to be shaken when it was practically proved to me that Dr. Waite was living with another woman in the Plaza Hotel. "As the evidence against him in creased from day to day I was com pelled to accept the evidence as true. "Of course I cannot say he is guilty, but it certainly looks as if that is the fact. Law Must Take Coarse. "As far as I am concerned, I will permit the law to take its course. "I have told all I know frankly and freely to the authorities." NEW YORK.' March 25. Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, accused of the murder of his father-in-law, John E. Peck, millionaire drug manufacturer of Grand Rapids, Mich., remained under close guard at Bellevue Hospital to day and no visitors were permitted to see him. save his aged parents, who came from Grand Rapids last night prepared to furnish legal assistance. Prisoner's Condition Improve. The young dentist, although still suffering from the effects of the drugs he took two days -ago, 'was re ported much improved today. District Attorney wann meanwhile was preparing' to present to the grand jury on Monday the evidence by which he expects to obtain - an indictment charging Dr. Waite with murder. The District Attorney eent- telegraphic in structions to F. X. Mancuso, . his rep resentative in Grand Rapids, to bring back with him Percy Peck, son of the dead man, to testify before the Jury and also the two physicians who per formed the autopsy on Peck's body, disclosing the presence of arsenic It was Percy Peck who halted the plans for the cremation of his father's body and ordered the first autopsy after he had received a telegram of warning from this city. Woman In Case Is Found. Further evidence in the case was sup plied today by Mrs. Margaret Horton, whom the prosecutor's assistants have identified as the woman with whom Dr. Waite associated at a hotel here under the names of "Dr. A. W. Walters and wife." Mrs. Horton. a singer, and her hus band, Harry Hrton. an inventor, were brought to the, District Attorney's oi AND NOTED SON PHOTOGRAPHED fice and questioned at length by As sistant District Attorney Dooling. The two probably will be grand jury witnesses. Mr. Dooling said that Mrs. Horton supplied a list of places and dates where and when, she declared. Dr. Waite bought poison, from December until March, and that Mrs. Horton said she accompanied Dr. Waite when some of these alleged purchases were made. Woman Admits Sharing "Studio." Mr. Dooling said tonight that from statements made by Mrs. Horton the authorities had reason to believe Dr. Waite had designs on the lives of at least four persons. Mrs. Horton, ac cording to Mr. Dooling, admitted that she shared a "studio" with Waite at (a hotel here and that "Waite registered with her as "Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Walt ers." Mrs. Horton was said by Mr. Dooling to have said that she believed Waite planned to kill her and her hus band. "Mrs. Horton," continued Mr. Dooling, "has reason to believe, according to her statement, that Waite waa trying to persuade her to take some kind of medicine." Mr. Dooling added that Mrs. Horton was with Waite when he made pur chases, "the naturo of which cannot now be divulged." Mrs. Horton also told him, he said, that Waite believed her to be wealthy and had questioned her regarding the extent of her fi nances.

Paul Sliorey, of Chicago, Accepts Greek Chair. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Berkeley, March 25. (Special.) Char ter day, on Thursday, was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies. George Edgar Vincent spoke at the Greek The ater in the morning on the "New Con cept of American Nationalism." In the afternoon the cornerstone of the new $730,000 Benjamin Ide Wheeler Hall was laid. In the evening Professor F- P- Gay gave the annual research lecture. Among the interesting things brought to light by the faculty investigation is th , proof that Berkeley and San Fran cisco are as old as Rome and Athens. Edward W. Gifford, curator of the Mu seum of Anthropology, has studied the famous shell mounds at Emeryville, the Presidio, Ellis Landing and elsewhere, and from their size has calculated their age to be at least 3300 years. ... The students of Columbia and Cali fornia universities recently held a tel ephone rally by long-distance. Messages were exchanged between the engineer ing faculty, students, crew captains and others. College yells and songs were given by both institutions. . The reason that a birdsnest is round Is found at last. The nests are molded by the "pivoting" motion of the build ers as the material is added. Birds which lay their eggs on bare rocks lay a long pear-shaped egg which merely allows it to move in a small circle and prevents it from falling into the surf. Paul Shorey, professor of Greek at Chicago University, has accepted the position of professor of classical liter ature. The position Is held each year by & different professor. Dr. Shorey has been at Bryn Mawr, Johns- Hop kins. Berlin and Athens and is th author of several volumes on Greek lit erature. In order to prevent the possibility of putting patients in quarantine for chickenpox or of letting them go about when they have smallpox, a new and conclusive test has proved successful. Two rabbits are used in the inocula tion tests and the result is known in 24 hours. The discovery was made by Dr. J. N. Force, assistant professor of epidemiology. Professor Gifford has also made some investigation on inter-clan mar riages among the California Indians. The system of exogamy did not arise from any definite intention to prevent the ill effects of inbreeding, but from the requirement that the young males must win their brides by capture. The first use of the name "California" is now believed to have been at the close of the 11th century in the old French epic poem, "The Song of Poland." In this .there is a line which says. "And those of Africa and those of Califor nia." Previously the earliest known use of the word was quite modern in comparison, only dating from' 1510, where it appeared in a novel by Mon tavalo, called "Las Sergas de Es-plafldiaa," INTERSTATE BRIDGE TOLL RATES ARE SET Commission Hears Protest of Carline and Decides to Do All Approach Paving. INTER-TRACK WORK ISSUE Commission Capitulates as Result of Plea of Company Against Do ing Work for Benefit of Jitney Competition. The Interstate Bridge Commission capitulated yesterday in the matter of paving the roadway between car track6 on the approaches to the bridge, and agreed upon toll rates for streetcar and Jitney passengers. In the tentative railroad franchises proposed by the Commission, it was provided that the railroad companies pave and keep in repair the pavement between their tracks. This was an ac ceptable part of nearly all street rail way franchises- in pre-jitney times. But the jitney raised a new question. "What! Provide and maintain the roadbed for our competitors?" was the horrified interrogation of the railway companies. Proposed Schedule Amended. That the point raised was just was decided by the Commission yesterday, when it agreed to pave the whole of the 36-foot wide approaches to the In terstate bridge. Decision on an equitable toll rate for passengers that would not offend either railway or jitney Interests was the sec ond question. On the motion of Com missiorier W. L. Lightner, of MUltno mah County, the proposed schedule of tolls was amended to provide a toll of 5 cents for each person crossing the bridge on an animal which, it was pointed out. did not apply to jitneys and 5 cents Tor each person on a vehicle not operated on an established schedule approved by the Commission. For passengers on vehicles operated on a regular approved schedule of not less than 12 consecutive hours daily with service at regular intervals not to exceed an hour apart, the toll will be 4- cents a head. This would include passengers on jitneys running on sched ules approved by the Commission, and streetcars. Cars May Not Vse Ilridtte. The matter of paving the bridge is a concession to the demands of the streetcar companies, but even with this capitulation, it is not certain that any traction company will make use of the bridge. District "Attorney Evans re ported yesterday that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company was hesitating over changing its route, which would be necessary in making use of the bridge. The expense would be heavy and the value of the change is said to be debatable. The Portland, Vancouver & Northern corporation was not represented at the last two meetings of the bridge com mission and may have abandoned the idea of making use of the bridge. ' If there is no streetcar traffic it is probable that the bridge operation will be at a loss.. AU the members, of the Commission were present at the meeting yesterday and John Lyle Harrington, of Kansas City, engineer in charge of the con struction, assisted in the deliberations. SACK OFFER GUARANTEED Inland' Empire Growers Receive Sure-Delivery Proposal. PENDLETON.-Or., March 25. (Spe cial.) The first guaranteed sack deliv ery offer of the season was made this afternoon to the Inland Empire grain growers at their meeting in Pendleton by the Balfour-Guthrie Company at 14 cents. Heretofore war clauses have been attached. Although no action was taken, it is probable- the cotton sack investigated by H. W. Collins will re ceive a tryout in Umatilla County. The sentiment seems to be that a carload of 60.000 cotton sacks be purchased at 11 and 12 cents each.

Physicians the world over reoom- mend the inside bath, claiming this is of vastly more Importance than out side cleanliness, because the ekin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health, while the pores in the 10 yards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning before breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it as a harm less means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible ma terial, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal be fore putting more food into the stomach. Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshen the skin, hot water and limestone phosphate act on the elimi native organs. Those who wake up with bad breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow complexion, acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipation, should obtain a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little, but is suf ficient to demonstrate the value of in side bathing.
