In Rome, in the time of the Repub- lic, 64 days In every year were devoted to public festivals recognized by law. The American Republic has not reached such a number of holidays, but its schools surpassed it long ago. The importance of rest periods in school work and of as much fresh sir as possible is emphasized by recent scientific investigations, which have shown that the condition of the blood corpuscles in children is tar legs fa- vorable after mental exertion in school than after hard physical effort.

J.—Eddie Hasha of Waco, Texas, holder of several world's records for motorcycle racing, plunged over the rail of the course of the New- ark motordrome into a crowd Sunday afternoon, causing the death of six persons, including himself, while six are dying and 13 are badly injured.

The oth- er four dead were boys and young men among the spectators. Five thousand spectators were wit- nessing the finish of a four -mile free for all race when the daring young rider, doing 90 miles an hour, took his fateful plunge. He was pitched head first 50 feet into the air. His body was shapeless when it was picked up almost at the feet of his wife, seated in tho bleachers. Pick Up Rider for Dead Albright was thrown head first in the other direction into the enclosure of the track when the champion's wheel came sliding down the steep bank and struck him. The spettaters injured were mainly the men and boys who were leaning over the rail yelling encouragement to the riders when Hasha came tearing into their midst. Six Start In Race. Six riders started in the last event on the program. It was a handicap event with flash* and Ray Seymour of Los Angeles, an old rival, each start- ing from scratch. Ray Peck, another Los Angelmerfeler, started at the quar- ter -mile mark, and Albright, the Den- ver rider and Frank King and John King of Newark were each given two full laps handicap. The track is a quarter mile and circular. At the crack of the pistol Hasha leaped ahead of Seymour. After six rounds of the course, during which his rival had eaten his smoke, the pair evened up and in another lap Seymour passed Hash*. By varying margins Seymour kept the lead until the last few laps. Railing Lined Four Deep. The railing was lined four deep, with the men and boys urging Hash* to overtake his rivaL Just at the commencement of the last lap, the champion tried to satisfy the crowd by a desperate effort. The leader ran high on the track, leaving a narrow space for Hasha to pass, but the latter tried it. It was then he struck the rail. The sprocket of Hasha's wheel was loosened by the collision and went sall- ies into the crowd, tearing off the skull of a boy. In addition to those in- jured, as Hasha was hurled against them, many persons fell and were trampled in the wild scramble among the spectators. Seymour kept control of his machine and was riding to safety when Hasha's wrecked motorcycle came sliding down the track. Albright, the first of the rearward riders, who Waa making a great effort to overtake the leaders, was struck by the Hasha machine and received fatal injuries. Of the injured spectators 10 were un- conscious when aid reached them Two died before reaching the hospital, and two others died as the surgeons were about to work over them_ Usual Sunday Auto Accidents.

WE MAY INTERVENE SOON IN MEXIGO PRESIDENT TAFT WILL CALL SESSION OF CONGRESS NNE DECIDING. Long War Probable --Orders Given for Movement of Additional U. S. Troops to the Border—Americans Being Murdered and Robbed and Property Destroyed—Seek Protection. Beverly, Mass.—Although President Taft wet not intervene In Mexico with- out the fullest deliberation, taking a step that would mean war, his friends deelare that intervention is nearer this week than it has been since the first American troops were rushed to the border 18 months ago. It can be stated on the highest au- thority, however, that should the pres- ident decide that intervention is the only course open to him he will call congress in special sessicn and de- mand of it authority to send an Amer- ican army across the border. Under no circumstances, he has told his friends, would he do an unfriendly act against Mexico without consulting con- gress. HARLAN TO TRAIL COLONEL. With John F. Ryan He Is to Talk for Taft. Chicago—Director Mulvane at the national republican headquarters an- nounces that John It Harlan of Chi- cago will follow Colonel Roosevelt through Oregon 'ad other Pacific states. Harlan will be accompanied by John T. Ryan from lbs New York head- quarters of the national republican committee Reluctant to intervene. Friends of the president realize that he would give the order to Invade Mex- ico only with greatest reluctance. They are aware that it already has been charged by senators that the president might send an army across the line, matte himself a "war president" and rely on that to bring victory to him- self and the republican party In No- vember. Mr. Taft has said that such a state- ment is without foundation and has declared to his advisers that it would be hard to conceive of president who would use his office to throw the coun- try into a war that experts have pre- dicted could not end in less than two years, that would omit millons, that would mean the sacrifice of thousands of lives and ruin for years to come the basis of this nation's friendship with Central and South American republics. Cavalry Ordered to Border. The president has authorized Gen- eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff, U. S. A., to dispatch two more regiments of cavalry to the Texas border. The reg- iments will be sent from Fort Riley, Kan., and Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. Bo far as the president was informed there will be no immediate need for more troops in Texas, but conditions along that border have grown worse In the last few weeks. It is In the southern part of Mexico, however, that the president has learned of Intolerable conditions af- fecting Americans. There the Madero government, according to the Informa- tion, is unable to cope with the revolu- tionists, and there seems to be little prospect that the situation will im- prove. Oregon Soya Lem In Alaska, Juneau, Alaska —John Shattuck, 21 years old, a student at the University of Oregon, Dell Linscott, aged 20, a resident of Douglas, and Leslie Oliver. 17 years old, of Juneau, are believed to have perished in the moetnains back of Sheep creek, four miles south of here, having become lost In a fog while hunting.

Hint to Madero. The president has communicated a demand that President Madero may be more active in protecting Americans. He is hopeful that this reminder, meant for the Mexican president and Mexican foreign office as well, will be fruitful of results in both southern and northern Mexico. The situation south of the Mexican capital is regarded as particularly dan- gerous to Americans, because the rev- olutionists there apparently have less fear of an American invasion than their brothers In the north. The only favorable plan for protection of Amer- icans in the south, Mr. Taft has been told, would be to send troops to some gulf port of Mexico. The trouble Is in the Interior and the landing of troops in Mexican port would mean intervention and war. Rebel Leader Warned. Nogales, Aria—An official warning from Washington has been sent here to the rebel leader, Emilio Cam" that Americans or A erican property must not be molested. Rebels Try for Americans. Nitro, Aris.—Mexican rebels Sunday cut all traffic and communication be - eleven here and Canapes, Sonora, Mexico, where about 500 Americans reside Shortly afterward a passenger train arrived here carrying 600 rifles and 150.006 rounds of ammunition sent by tbe United States government from the arsenal at Fort Sam Houston.

WE MAY INTERVENESOON IN MEXIGO

PRESIDENT TAFT WILL CALLSESSION OF CONGRESSNNE DECIDING.

Long War Probable--Orders Given for

Movement of Additional U. S. Troops

to the Border—Americans Being

Murdered and Robbed and Property

Destroyed—Seek Protection.

Beverly, Mass.—Although President

Taft wet not intervene In Mexico with-

out the fullest deliberation, taking a

step that would mean war, his friends

deelare that intervention is nearer this

week than it has been since the firstAmerican troops were rushed to theborder 18 months ago.

It can be stated on the highest au-thority, however, that should the pres-ident decide that intervention is theonly course open to him he will callcongress in special sessicn and de-mand of it authority to send an Amer-ican army across the border. Underno circumstances, he has told hisfriends, would he do an unfriendly actagainst Mexico without consulting con-gress.

HARLAN TO TRAIL COLONEL.

With John F. Ryan He Is to Talk forTaft.

Chicago—Director Mulvane at thenational republican headquarters an-nounces that John It Harlan of Chi-cago will follow Colonel Rooseveltthrough Oregon 'ad other Pacificstates. Harlan will be accompanied byJohn T. Ryan from lbs New York head-quarters of the national republicancommittee

Reluctant to intervene.

Friends of the president realize thathe would give the order to Invade Mex-ico only with greatest reluctance. They

are aware that it already has beencharged by senators that the presidentmight send an army across the line,matte himself a "war president" andrely on that to bring victory to him-self and the republican party In No-vember.Mr. Taft has said that such a state-

ment is without foundation and hasdeclared to his advisers that it wouldbe hard to conceive of • president whowould use his office to throw the coun-try into a war that experts have pre-dicted could not end in less than twoyears, that would omit millons, thatwould mean the sacrifice of thousandsof lives and ruin for years to come thebasis of this nation's friendship withCentral and South American republics.

Cavalry Ordered to Border.

The president has authorized Gen-eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff, U. S.A., to dispatch two more regiments ofcavalry to the Texas border. The reg-iments will be sent from Fort Riley,Kan., and Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. Bofar as the president was informedthere will be no immediate need formore troops in Texas, but conditionsalong that border have grown worseIn the last few weeks.It is In the southern part of Mexico,

however, that the president haslearned of Intolerable conditions af-fecting Americans. There the Maderogovernment, according to the Informa-tion, is unable to cope with the revolu-tionists, and there seems to be littleprospect that the situation will im-prove.

Hint to Madero.

The president has communicated a

demand that President Madero may bemore active in protecting Americans.He is hopeful that this reminder,meant for the Mexican president andMexican foreign office as well, will befruitful of results in both southernand northern Mexico.The situation south of the Mexican

capital is regarded as particularly dan-gerous to Americans, because the rev-olutionists there apparently have less

fear of an American invasion thantheir brothers In the north. The onlyfavorable plan for protection of Amer-icans in the south, Mr. Taft has beentold, would be to send troops to somegulf port of Mexico.The trouble Is in the Interior and

the landing of troops in • Mexican

port would mean intervention and war.
