first time today by Senator Rayner.
He upheld President Taft and, appar.

ment, said he thought there would be
no trouble with Japan.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Rayner's
address Senators Lodge and Cullom
took occasion to confirm the Mary
land senator's statement regarding the
improbability of misunderstanding
between the United States and Mex
leo.
Il have examined the official CORE
spondence with care and have been
unable to discover any allusion to
Japan" said Mr.. Lodge, land, so far
as l am able to judge, the press re
ports are mere fabrication"
Confessing ignorance as to the mo-
tive for the circulation of these re
ports, he expressed the opinion that
there were strong interests back Of
them.
Saying that he, too, had examined
the Mexican correspondence, Senator

Wine GROWERS ARE
STILL ON RAMPAGE

Epernay, Department of Marine,
France, April 13.-Despite the fact
that the department of Name is a
vast armed camp with infantrymen
and dragons bivouaced throughout
the night at almost every village in
the champagne district, rioting broke
out anew today and the flame of an
ger and vengeance continues to sweep
the grapegrowing region.
At Vinay the rioters hastily threw
up barricades with barrel cases and
debris of all sorts and succeeded in
holding back the advancing troops,
while another group Of manifestants,
armed with torches, entered the vast
champagne depot.
The mob smashed all the bottles of
champagne they could find, wrecked
the wine presses and then set fire to
the buildings.
Women were foremost in the work
Of destruction, chanting snatches of
revolutionary airs and urging on the
men. When the troops reached Vinay
the women lay down on the roads and
defied the cavalry to ride over them.
Eventually the troops succeeded in
getting control of the situation and
dispersed the manifestants.
At dawn many places in the wine
growing districts showed the horizon
darkened by the smoking ruins Of wine
depots, burned during the night. At
the same time exploding decorators
summoned additional wine growers to
the different rallying points for the
people to resume their march of de.
struction.
The government officials claim that
the sacking and burning of wine prop,
erty is being led by criminal ele.
ments which are Hooking into this
region from other districts.
The police at daylight this morning
proceeded to Ay where a conflagra
ton started by incendiaries threaten
ed for a time last night to destroy the
entire village and made twenty ar
rests among the ringleaders among
the manifeStants.

dian Reciprocity Measure.

Washington, April 13.--The passage
of resolution for direct election Of
senators with many republican votes
in it's favor will be accomplished in
the house before the end of today's
session.
This fact became apparent before
debate on the resolution had proceed
ed far. Democrats were united in its
favor. While the republicans would
have preferred to amend II so as to
assure control of the elections by con-
gress, many of them announced their
purpose to vote for the resolution.
Representative Sims of Tennessee
offered an amendment providing for
the recall of senators when they did
not carry out the wishes of state,
but the determination of democratic
leaders to allow no amendments pre-
vented
Former Speaker Cannon declared he
could not vote for the RuCker resolu-
ton because it robbed congress of it's
control over elections OF senators,
and he further believed. of members
of the house.
Chairman Fuckers committee vot-
ed yesterday to report the popular
elections bill favorably, as it did also
the bill providing for ante-election
publicity of campaign contributions.
Passage of the former bill today would
mean that the latter measure also
would be put on its passage.
The house leaders did not anticipate
much opposition to these party meas
ures and no attempt was looked for
| from any democrat to impede the rap

tee has approved both bills and Is de-
sirous that they be out of the way OF

will be called up tomorrow.
When the senate resumed today af
