DIES TALKED
ON DEAOCRACY
Texan Deplored Socialistic
tendencies.
Declared He Fladt It Hard to De-
termine Whether the Soekefel-
len or the Bomb Thrtrweri
Are More Dangerou.
By W. 8. Gard
Houston Post Staff Oorrespon
WASHINGTON May t.A few
crumbs of pure democracy hot and fresh
right off the griddle" Is the way Repre-
sentative Martin Dies styled the remark-
able speech of an hour's duration which
he delivered on the floor of the house this
afternoon. During that time he discussed
half a doaen subjects relating to legis-
lative matters but in the main his re-
marks were directed against the social-
istic tendencies as he sees them of the
present time. His defense of the courts
was a gem
"I have heard socialistic speeches here"
he said "and I have heard treasonable
and seditious speeches almost. I hear
a Bull Moose effusion almost every day
but It has been a long time since I
heard any one preach old-fashioned re-
publicanism and a still longer time slnoe
I heard a voice raised In this assembly
proclaiming the democracy we were
brought up to believe In."
Afraid ot Millionaires.
Pleading for realization of the blessings
of constitutional government as estab-
lished by the fathers he said:
"I am afraid of your Rockefellers and
I am afraid of your selfish multimillion-
aires who want to build fortunes moun-
tain high. I am for a graduated land tax
In my own State and I am against monop-
oly but of all the things on this earth
that I fear 1 am most afraid of lawless-
ness and anarchy. I am afraid of the
country where a man goes 10 bed at
night fearing the murderer and thief will
come. I am afraid of a country where a
man's life and liberty his right to work
and rear and educate his family are dis-
turbed. I am afraid of the multimillion-
aires and 1 am afraid of your Greek sol-
diers who are being drilled In Colorado.
I know not which class Is doing the most
to destroy this great republic. I know
not which class Is doing the most to
break down the confidence of the middle
classes of this country In their great and
good republic your Rockefellers or your
bomb throwing miners.
"Middle Class Will Csll Halt."
"But I want to say that the merchants
the bankers the lawyers the doctors the
farmers and the laborers the mothers
and the fathers of this goodly land shall
yet rise and say to the Rockefellers and
to the lawless anarchists at the other end
of the ladder 'You shall not despoil thia
good land In your war over the wealth of
the land. You have a right to labor you
have a right to organize you have a
right to quit as one man as one organi-
zation but we challenge the right of any
man to say that after you quit you have
the right to get a shotgun and shoot
down your brother who refused to quit
when you did or another man who was
willing to contract to do the labor you
declined to do.' (Applause.)
"Mr. Chairman I love this great re-
public it ie the safest and the dearest
place upon this earth In which to live. I
am not in favor of allowing tl)e multi-
millionaires the Industrial hogs If you
please nor am 1 In favor of allowing the
Ignorant anarchist with gun and bomb
erther or both to destroy the liberties of
this great people and this great govern-
ment." (Prolonged applause. 1
Deplored Colorado Conditions.
Mr. Dies commented at some length
uon the mine war In Colorado and ex-
pressed his sympathy with the people of
that State but added: "I would as soon
tell a child S years old ihat he can safely
play with a shotgun as to tell the for-
eigners in the Colorado mining districts
to dril" armies to buy arms and to go
into civil warfare over those Industrial
conditions."
Two-thirds of his speech was devoted
to Mexico. He said the Mexican . people
have always been Incapable of self gov-
ernment and reviewed the situation In
that republic from the adoption of the
constitution of 1824 to the present time to
prove his assertion.
"I am not in favor of more than one
trip into Mexico the next time we go."
he declared and his colleagues applauded
wildly. "I know of the black smoke of
burning homes and the red blood of dying
heroes that comes with war." he added.
Favored Sustaining Brothers In Mexico.
"1 also know the long pension roll that
follows and the tremendous burdens upon
the taxpayers of the country but I am
In favor of sustaining the Americans In
Mexico as. you sustained your brothers In
Texou in 1836."
"If the brothers of the Texans who
lived In the United 8tates had not sus-
tained them in their struggles for liberty
In the early days they would have been
exterminated by roving Mexican bands
and today Texas and all of that territory
that was then under the Mexican flag
would be what many of the Mexican

lexieo. I do not know Just what it la.

Representative Bryan a Progressive of
Washington who resented the Texan's
attack upon the socialistic assault upon
the courts by the Bull lieose party
sought to embarrass Dies by taaatingjy
asking him what he thought ef the na-
tional prohibition amendment..
. Quick as a flash Dies came back at his
questioner: "I am In favor of leaving all
those rights to the state government"
and nearly every member la the house ap-
plauded. This Is taken to indicate that
when the Hobson amendment is debated
most of the congressmen will contend
that It Is a stats problem but bow they
will vote on the last roll call remains te

Not to Ask General Mass.
General Funston deems it Inadvisable
to open formal communication with Gen-
eral Mias and Is therefor leaving the
case of Private Parks to Washington.
General Funston bad asked that the bri-
gade equipment left behind at Galveston
because of lack of room for horses and
wagons on the transport be sent for-
ward. He Is also asking that recruits
for regiments here now assembled at re-
cruiting depots In the United States be
shipped. The equipment Includes a ma-
jority of the regimental wagon trains
and horses for the signal corps. Lack-
ing these the signal corps and quarter-

their work about the city and at the
outposts.

CHEERS FOR
OLD NASSAU
Were Given it Reunion of
Princeton Alumni.
Former Student of Orange and
Black SBf Song and Told
Stories at Banquet at
' Country Club.
"When the cares of life o'er takes us
Mingling test ear locks with gray.
Should oar dearest no pee betray us
False Fortune fall away
' Still we banish oars and 'sadness
As we turn our memories back.
And recall those days of gladness
'Neath the Orange and the Black."
No lustier voices and no greater spirit
ever entered Into the well known melodies
that rang out at the Houston Country
club Saturday evening when a number of
former Princeton students gathered to-
gether In reunion years had not lessen-
ed their ardor and distance had seemed
to emphasise their loyalty to tbelr alma
mater. Bat tew there were whom the
cares of life bad not o'ertaken and
mingled their locks with gray. But care
and sadness were banished and fond
memories were recalled.
They came from near and far bankers
lawyers merchants and nun In various
walks of life but ae tbey sat at the fes-
tive board they were all brothers In loyal-
ty and sons of old Nassau. It was the
first gathering of the kind In Houston
since 1197 but each man pledged himself
to return again aa long as life remained.
This was the purpose of the gathering to
form a permanent organization of Prince-
ton alumni In Texaa and have an annual
reunion.
Palmer Hutcheeon Toirtmsster.
A banquet of good things to eat was
spread before the members after par-
taking of which W. Palmer Hutcheson
of the class of 'Ot took up his duties as
toastmaster. Wllmer Waldo of the class
of '99 who was instrumental In bringing
about the reunion responded to a toast
on "The Roundup" and told of how he
had successfully gathered the members
together.
Thomas Ruckman of the class of '48
spoke on 'Princeton In 1848." He was the
oldest graduate present having reached
the age of 97. He told many Incidents of
university Ufa during a period before
many of those present had seen the light
of day. His stories were listened to with
a great deal of Interest. Another one of
the old-timers A T. McKlnney of the
class of '68 spoke on "Princeton Before
the War" recounting many tales of the
institution preceding the great conflict
between the States. F. G. Chamberlain.
'07 spoke on "Four Years at Princeton"
and John S. Curtis '07 on "Princeton's
Prodigal Sons." The table was deco-
rated with Easter lilies and gold and
white daisies forming a Hat center piece.
W. B. Seeley of the class of '79. In
which class President Wood row Wilson
graauatea was taken sick at the last
moment and unable to be present. His
home Is in California but he Is a native
of Texas. In his stead W. Goodrich Jones
of '83 spoke. Mr. Jones organized the
first reunion of Princeton alumni in
Houston In December 1897. Fifteen for-
mer students met on that occasion at the
Capitol hotel among them being Thomas
Ruckman who was at that time the old-
est graduate present.
Mr. Jones had with him many me-
mentos of that occasion including a let-
ter from Woodrow Wilson who was at
that time a professor in Irlnceton Uni-
versity and a letter from the then ex-
president O rover Cleveland.. Since the
time of that reunion the Texas alumni
had never gathered together until Satur-
day evening. It was suggested that the
old organization be revived and main-
tained.
Telegram from President.
Great applause followed the reading of
a telegram from President Wilson offer-
ing his congratulations and bearing the
message that ' when Texas started any-
thing it usually accomplished something
and when Princeton and Texas got to-
gether something was sure to happen."
A telegram was also received from Prof.
Stockton Ax son of Rice Institute who
is in Washington and who was in a
measure responsible for the gathering.
With the singing of "Long Life to Old
Nassau" and a final "tiger for Prince-
ton the members bade each other adieu
and departed. Among those present were

FLORAL PAGEANT
BRILLIANT SCENE
Little Tots and Older Persons Vied
at Auditorium in Drawing
Unstinted Applause.
The grand floral pageant at the audi-
torium Saturday nlgbt was an unqualified
success. The artistic extravaganza was
attended by a large and fashibnable audi-
ence and the spacious auditorium pre-
sented a brilliant scene. The electrical
effects the brilliant colored costumes of
the players and the floral decorations
transformed the building Into a fairy-
land. The "Flowerland" pageant was partici-
pated In by about 500 persons. The first
scene showed several hundred school chil-
dren clothed In costumes depicting the
flowers and as Tama Yamas. children of
the Oriental Isle. Others were cunningly
gowned In fluffy dresses with every color
of the rainbow being in evidence. The
stage was in a riot of color and the scene
was fantastic.
The fairies and butterflies held the cen-
ter of the stage and about them were
grouped the snowdrops rosebuds forget-me-nots
buttercups Easter lilies sweet
peas Japs Yaoia Yamas In their pic-
turesque gowns and tots in their nighties.
This combination made up the attraction
of the first act. which was participated in
only by children.
Following the opening tableaux the
snowdrops took the center of the stage
and the little nighty brigade tripped to
the footlights and their ounnlng little
mannerisms in "Just Waking Up" took
the house by storm. Then came the fluffy
pink dresses and rose wreaths aid their
song "Welcome to Spring" was well re-
ceived. The forget-me-nots song "Guess"
was cleverly executed by the little misses
and was heartily applauded. "The Quar-
rel" which followed displayed histrionic
ability which In children of their age Is
truly remarkable. In green dresses with
white trimmings the Easter lilies flocked
Xn toe stage about 20 strong and their
er little song. "Consider the Blos-
soms" was appreciated.
During the interval between scenes one
and two Mrs. T. J. Relchard sang " 'Till
the Breaking of the Day." Mrs. Relchard
possesses a beautiful soprano voice and
her rendition was generously applauded.
The sweet peas were composed of elder
girls and their stunt was nalerally more
artlstlo snd complete. Their number
"Farewell to Summer" was well re-
ceived. Mlsa Locand was the star dancing per-
former of the evening. Her first dance
"The Blue Bird." was loudly applauded
and she was forced to give another exhi-
bition. She Is net only very pretty but
exeedingty graceful.
The Happy Little Japs numbered
about 60 and their drill showed that they
bad practiced long and hard. Their ori-
ental costumes were most becoming. Con-
siderable animation was added to the per-
formance by the Tama Yamas. Their act
was ted by Miss Haley who proved to be

Thlp concluded the first act.
The feature stunts were displayed In
the second act. the participants being
young ladles and gentlemen of the social
world. The opening number "The
Remrv" was very effective and the sing-
ing of the song was well rendered. "The
Revel of Colors" made a decided bit. The
girls represented Rice InaUtute Texaa
Agricultural and Mechanical college and
Princeton. They were divided into three
sets and each set wore the colors of the
college they represented.
The "Dance of the Roses" and the
"Hoop" number were the banner events
of the occasion. Miss Meta Warley
charmed the audience with her songs and
the young ladies who participated with
her deserve considerable credit. Their
stunt was simply great. The cabaret scene
wss moat realistio and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the spectators. The dancing
numbers were also appreciated.
The Flowerland pageant was under the
direction of Miss Annie May Moorman of
Lynchburg Va. This is the first time
an entertainment of this nature has been
attempted In the State of Texas and
Miss Moorman was more than pleased
with the success of Saturday night's per-
formance. OIL MEN RECEIVE

Direct Information From Tampico
Neutral Zone Describes Mexican
Agreement as Farce.
According to cablegrams received in
Houston the situation la the territory
around Tampico which the Americano
were compelled to leave recenUy is not
Improved and In many respects is worse
than It was when the oil fields and other
properties were abandoned.
According to the men" who went from
Houston to the district and who have
looked over the conditions there as they
are at present In the neutral sone agreed
to by rebels and federals and on which
the American government is basing hopes
of protecting American property is a
faroe too ridiculous to be credited with
serious consideration.
Constant Aghtlng between rebels and
federals was reported np to Friday night
and artillery duels were reported aa being
frequent and of long duration. It Is In
the danger resulting from exploding shells
that many Americans are most concerned
as it Is feared that the oil wells or oil
In reservoirs will be Ignited by some of
these.
The federals ar said to be recruiting In
Tampico and the men are told that they
will be given the Ant opportunltjsep de-
stroy Americas property in case fT war

being accepted by the recruits.
