the Mexican government.
Official dispatches received here to-
day over the Mexican cable say that
at least 500 soldiers under the COM

CLARK FAVORS REVISION
SCHEDULE BY SCHEDULE
Defines His Position on Tariff and Ap-
pointment Of Committees
Of the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Rep
Champ Clark gave out a statement
last night outlining his platform as
the prospective speaker OF the Demo
cratic house Of representatives in the
next congress. He proclaimed himself
in favor of the appointment Of COM
mjttees of the house by a committee,
rather than by the speaker, and he
states his belief that the tariff should
be revised. schedule by schedule,
rather than in one single bill Those
two subjects, says Mr.. Clark, are the
ones on which he has been continu-
ally importuned to make some state
ment.
The Democratic members OF the
house sent out a call for a caucus Jan.
10 on the Democratic membership OF
the next house.
Mr. Clarks statement is both an ex-
PLANTATION of the call for that caucus
and declaration OF his own plans
for the probable speaker of the house.
The speaker will select a ways and
means committee and a rules commit
tee somewhat larger than the present
committee Of seven. Mr.. Clark be-
lieves one OF these committees should
then be empowered to select the other
committees of the house.
There are two theories Of tariff re-
VISION" says Mr.. Clark in his state
ment, revision by one general bill
and revision by separate bills for sep
arate schedules. This Is a matter not
Of principle. but OF method. Individ-
ually, prefer the scheme Of sepa-
rate bills for separate schedules, TAX
ing the schedules with the most OBJ
noxious features first, perhaps In GER
tain cases having separate bills for
particular items"
The statement proceeds to say that
whatever method Is decided on full
hearing as comprehensive as that
which preceded the framing Of the
Payne-Aldrich law will be had by the
news ways and means committee.

SNYDER WILL BE TRIED

Jury Falls to Agree At Trial OF Jack

Armstrong.

JACKSON. Mich. Dec. 17.-After
being out little over Ave hours. the
jury in the case of the state against
Fred Snyder returned TO the jury
room yesterday afternoon at 4:3o
o'clock. unable to agree. Snyder was
indicted by the grand jury in the
spring OF 1909 in connection with the
prison scandal and was charged with
paying Sl5 TO Warden Allan y, Arm
strong TO influence him in disposing
of garbage contract at the prison.
Following the disagreement OF the
jury a consultation was held between
Deputy Attorney-General McGill, Spe-
cial Counsel Barkworth. Prosecutor
Reece and Judge Parkinson, which
resulted in the jury being discharged.
The jury stood about even.
George Maino, a local boilermaker,
who was indicted by the grand jury,
is the next to be tried. Maino was
indicted for alleged bribery OF Arm
strong to influence his official action
relative to a contract for a number OF
tanks at the prison. The entire after.
noon was taken up in examining
jurors for this case. The panel was
exhausted and talesmen were brought
in. When court adjourned at D
o'clock only Ave men had been secur.
ed who were qualified to sit in the
case. Armstrong is held at the jail
as a witness in each of the cases.
II is doubtful If any other grand
jury cases will be tried this term, as
the jurors are practically non-quali'
fed. IL the cases were tried spe
cial venire would probably have to
be called.
McGill announced last night that
the Snyder case would be retired al

LAURIER GIVES REPLY TO
PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY
his Reply to 1000 Farmers Is Disap-
polnting-Tariff Must Await Out

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 1.-THE dele
cation OF 1000 Canadian farmers pre-
sented It's demands to the Canadian
government Friday and received its
answer AS result there are a thou
sand rather disappointed strangers IN
the Canadian capital. The reply of the
government. made by the premier, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, did not come up 10
the expectations Of the delegation.
The farmers asked for the immedi-
ate revision OF the tariff downward ;
for free trade on agricultural imple-
ments, cement, lumber and fish and
natural products of Canada and the
United States; for larger measure OF
preference to Great Britain, and pro.
gram which would lead to free trade
with England In ten years. and finally
for direct taxation.
They asked for government owner
ship and control of terminal elevators;
for government-built and operated
railroad to Hudson Bay; for the es-
Establishment by the government OF 4
chilled meat industry in western Can
ada; for amendments to the railway
law which would tend to lower rates
and compel companies to pay for
stock killed on tracks under any cir
cumstances; for bill to facilitate the
formation OF cooperative societies,
and that bank charters should not be
renewed for more than one year.
or the tariff, the premier said 1t
would not be wise to make the ex-
tensive revision asked for until the
reciprocity negotiations now in pro-
xxvfS ~ INIT al
concluded. The goal of the govern
ment was in the direction in which
farmers were moving, he added.
or the elevator proposal, the prime
minister said that the remedy pro-
posed would not be effective, for II
Canada owned the elevators on the
Great Lakes there would be still
frans-shipments at Port Colborne and
at Montreal, where mixing frauds
could be perpetrated. He continued:
IF we can so improve the ear
riage OF grain on the st. Lawrence
route that IL will not be possible TO
divert grain to American channels.
or to break bulk in the trip TO Mont
real, the problem will be solved.
This can only be done by the en-
largement of the Welland and st.
