NO OPPOSITION MADE
. BY REPUBLICANS To
HAMLNV RESOLUTION
Rules Committee Made Favor
able Report and Adoption
FoIIoWed-SeveraI Immedi-
ate Investigations

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 20-The
Hamlin resolution, directing the several
investigating committees to proceed to
examine the affairs of the executive de-
partments of the government was adopt
ed by the house this morning The reso-
luton was favorably reported by the
rules committee, and the Republicans of
fered no opposition to it's passage.
Following the passage OF the resolution,
Chairman Ashbrook, of the postoffice in
vestigating committee. called a meeting
of his committee for next Monday The
several other investigating committees
will meet next week and the lids will be
lifted off the departments. Besides the
postoffice department. the following 9TH
er executive branches of the government
will bask in the limelight of publicity
state, navy, war, treasury, justice. inte-
rior, agriculture and commerce and
labor.
The committees are directed by the
house to examine all affairs of all the
departments and then their investigations
cover such period in the past as each
committee may deem necessary. The sew
eraI committees and the subcommittee
of each are authorized TO sit during the
recesses OF the SD congress and they
are empowered to subpoena and compel
the attendance of witnesses to send for
records, books, papers ana such other
evidence as may oe necessary to make
tho Investigations full and complete
MY committee will not go into the in
vestigation of the postal service blind
folded" said Chairman Ashbrook today.
I'VE recognize the importance of thor
oughness in the inquiry, and we do not
propose to go off half cooked In the
matter. We viii proceed slowly and al
low the developments to shape our pol
icy for the present. We are confident
that there is much to uncover in the
postoffice department, and inquiry will
be as systematic and painstaking as it Is
searching. Already the committee has
received scores of complaints from all
sections of the country about deficien-
cies. delinquency and abuses In postal
service, and the committee will weigh
each of these carefully before beginning
its inquiry
"The spy system in the department
seems to be a general source of COM
plant in all sections. From everywhere
come reports of the baneful influences
of the system of espionage that is fos-
tered in the department. We hear from
all sides stories of Generalization in the
service as a result of methods of intimi-
dalton and coercion and we believe that
the inquiry win develop these things. The
political activities of postmasters in many
sections have not escaped criticism, and
the chaos in the railway mail service at
tributed to the so-called economy sys-
tenn viii be investigated"

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The posi-
bility of an armistice to arrange peace
negotiations in Mexico was confirmed by
kilograms received today from Ambassa-
dor Wilson at Mexico City
In connection with the delicate bound
airy situation, the ambassador said that
friendly Interpolation in the Mexican
congress on the relations between the
United States and Mexico is likely. This
Is interpreted here as a desire of the
Mexican government to place the matter
officially bfore the Mexican people. 1t
indicates, it is said, at the state de-
partment, that the delicacy of the ques-
ton and the friendly attitude of the
United States toward Mexico are fully
appreciated
Official confirmation of the peace move
was read with undisguised satisfaction.
The tension of the last several days
has jappreciably subsidized today. Devel-
opments in the interchange between DIR.
Gomez. the revolutionary agent in Wash
ington, and the Dlaz government are
anxiously awaited.
Senior de Zamacona, the new Mexican
ambassador, was officially presented to
the president this afternoon.

A let of burning oxygen from a blow
pipe may be successfully employed 10
cut sheet iron, iron tubes, and smal'
bars. The cut made is almost as
sharp and thin as that made by saw
In earlier attempts difficulty was en-,
countered in clearing the cut OF liquid
metal and in preventing the spread OF
the melting effect beyond the borders
of the cut. In later processes TWO
blowpipes were used. The first has
an ordinary oxyhydrogen flame, Whlca
heats the iron to redness at the place
where the cut is to be made. This Is
followed Immediately by the second
JET composed of pure oxygen, whicf
instantly burns the metal without melt
ing. The liquidized iron is blown
swiftly from the assure, SO that there
is no serious spreading Of the heat u

is a decided advantage In teaching

PtTIFuL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an inf1amed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even IN
hts eyes. ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have q stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cut1"
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and l had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. -Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. 1 don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our Baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti

themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B

New Jersey began state aid with an

sum was soon increased to five times
the amount. The state aid plan OF
road building spread from state TO

have adopted 1t, and it has. everywhere
proved popular and successful. 1t Is
the plan that gets the roads and so
distributes the burden that the taxa

been impractical in the early days OF
the republic, but now under the coun-
try.wide plan of distribution OF food
products and the factory output and
the enormous amount Of city and cor

to stand it's just proportion of the cost
