SCBOOI; BOYS MAKE HEN COOP By Using O1d Material Students Build House at Big Saving Because of the announcement made in the Pioneer some time ago that members of the manual training class of the Bemidji high school would willingly assist in doing cer- tain classes of carpenter work, J. H. Fallon of Minnesota avenue, request- od A. D. Bailey, head of the manual training department to furnish two boys to build a chicken ‘coop. Glen Conger and Leon Battles were nam- ed. The coop was constructed out of old material and when completed had cost but five dollars. This was much cheaper than could carpenters have done the work and the building is just- as satisfactory.

By "HOP” Father Colbert of Winnibago, Willing In Present Trouble Expected Washington, D. C., April 30.—The scope of mediation plans for a settle- ment of the Mexican crisis was sud- denly burdened last night to include the entire range of Mexican affairs and not alone the critical issue be- tween the United States and the Hu- -erta regime, but also the conflict be- tween the warring Mexican elements. Following the receipt of a formal ac- ceptance by Carranza of the principle of mediation, as Proposed by the Bra- | zillian .ambassador and the Chile and | Argentine ministers. Already the United States and Huerta have form- ally accepted tthe good offices of the South Americans. Earlier the med- jators asked the United States and Huerta to agree to an armistice by ‘which all aggressive military move- ments will be suspended pending the outcome of the negotiations. The mediators expect both to agree. A separate proposal for an armistice be- tween Huerta and Carranza will be made. With its acceptance, all war- ring elements throughout Mexico, as well as the ~American forces will maintnain a mititary status quo. A | definite statement from the envoys on the contemplated action is expect- ed in a few days. Red Cross Relief Active charge of the relief opera- tions at Vera Cruz will be issued by | the American Red Cross. This decis- ion was reached yesterday as the re- sult of a personal cablegram, received by Miss Mabel T. Boardman, chairman of the national relief board of the Red Cross, from Rear Admiral Fletch- er. to General Funston and later trans- ferred the authority to the newly ap- pointed clvil government, Robert Kerr, to draw on the Red Cross funds to the extent of $5,000 for relief work. Priests Ready to Serve The names of eight Catholic priests who have volunteered to serve in the American army and navy in case of war with Mexico were sent to the president yesterday. Among them was that of Rev. William Colbert of Win- nebago, Minn. Rio de Janerio, April 29.—An ar- . dent desire for peace and a union of the peoples of the two Americas was the sentiment which prompted Brazil, Argentine and Chill to offer their services in a mediation between the United States and Mexico, accord- ing to Dr. Laurel Muller, the Bra- zilian minister, in an interview to- day. The idea of offering mediation wag not that of Brazil alone, said Muller, but simultaneous, and the re- presentatives: in the three republics immediately jumped in the same com- munion of ideas of collaborating in the humane task of endeavoring to| bring about -the re-establichment of harmonious relations between the two republics. Muller concluded that Europe had fully realized the important part be- ing played by Argentina, Brazil and Chili, and was watching with lvely interest the efforts of the three South American republics to prevent war.| HOTEL FOUNDATION COMPLETED Work Begun on Concrete Floor—To Finish by August First = Having completed the construction of the foundation for the new $40,- 000 tire proof addition to the Mark- ham hotel, work was begun on the reinforced concrete floor this morn- ing.
