STRONG. DENIAL OF
FIELDING RuMOR
Minister Of Finance and Pre-
mier Agree on Question of
Adjournment

Ottawa, May 12.-The story pub
lished in some Of the opposition pa
pers to day to the effect that there is
a dissension among tie members of
the government on the reciprocity
proposal, and that the Hon. w. 8.
Fielding, minister of finance, had
threatened to resign unless parlta-
ment remained in session despite the
absence of the premier and the cor
onation contingent next month is on
par with numerous other canards of
q similar nature that have been per-
iodically sprung on the readers of
opposition papers during the past few
months.
Most Of these stories are speedily
refuted by ensuing political develop
ments and are merely laughed at by
members of both sides of the house
here. This last instance is a case In
point. Hon. Mr.. Fielding is in entire
accord with the decision Of the gov
ernment for short adjournment, as
announced by the premier this after
noon. There Is absolutely no dis
sension in the government ranks on
the reciprocity issue and the stories
Of inner strife and chickering's either
among the members of the govern
ment or among the followers in par
Lament in respect to any Of the large
issues now before the house are alb
solutely without foundation in fact.
With the exception Of the detection OF
Messrs. Sifton, German and Lloyd
Harris on the reciprocity proposals.
1t can be stated with authority that
the party was never more united or
more confident as to3the result Of the
next appeal to the country.

Considering Rights

Washington, May 12-Of1ctnls III
Washington were today engrossed In
considering questions of internation-
al law relating to rights of insur-
rectionists to secure food and other
supplies from neutral territory; the
extent to which the federal authority
can go in controlling the expectation
of arms and munitions Of war to
Mexico, and what authority army Of
ficers may legally exercise in re-
stricting movement of civilians and
soldiers and rebels on the border.
The state department, instead OF
making an official declaration, indi-
Gated that the administration of the
neutrality laws reposed in the depart
ment of justice, while the expectation
Of arms and supplies was up to the
treasury department to decide. The
war department simply abided by ita
original orders to the military com
manders to execute neutrality laws
as they understood them, and II eth
er the treasury or state departments
choose to suggest any change in the
practice the war department was
ready to conform.
Actually there was no real question
before the departments, after the
legal adviser of the insurrectionary
agent here had been told by the
treasury department that the trade
relations between Ell Paso and Juarez
might proceed as heretofore. Thus
at least food supplies and merchan-
disc might be carried across the line
according to the usual practice.
No attempt was made to decide al
to the admission OF arms as that ques-
tion had not been raised. Probably
It will not be until an attempt IL ac-
tually made to carry an invoice Of
rifles and ammunition through the
United States custom hose. The con-
ditions then will have an important
bearing upon the treasury decision.
But 1t IL generally believed that in
view Of the past decisions Of the
United States courts. II such arms
and ammunition are shipped by q
regular dealer in the United states to
another regular dealer In Juarez, they
must be permitted to 60 through the
FL Paso custom house. provided they
are not consigned to IN agent OF the
insurrectionists Any decision a. to
importatiOns In Juarez would apply to
any other Mexican border town the
insurrectionists occupy.

adopted by the United States military
commanders to prevent shipping sup

Washington, May 1.-THE senate
and house of representatives to all
appearances are engaged in a game
Of hide and seek. The senate was in
session yesterday and the house was
not. The house was in session today
and the senate was not. Tomorrow
neither will be In session. The SER
ate will meet again on Monday but
the house will not. The house will
meet Tuesday but the senate will not.
In the house today the most impor-
tant business was the report from
the committee on territories recon-
mending statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico after the people Of each
territory shall have voted on the pro-
posed amendments. The minority re-
port signed by the Republican men,
bers Of the committee urged the i'm
mediate admission Of New Mexico
The house has decided to adjourn
over Monday becaus the order for
that day is the discharge of the COM
mittees.
The prolonged session Of the SEN
ate yesterday resulted in a suspension
of the attack on the Canadian reci-
procity bill before the senate finance
committee. After the farmers from
Minnesota and North Dakota had oc-
cupied all the morning session in ad-
dressing the committee, further criti-
cism of the bill and proposed argu-
ments in it's favor by trade bodies in
northern cities were to have been
made in an afternoon session. The
hearing will continue today.

COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING
Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure
to Be In Vogue for the Hats
of Fall.

If you propose to trim your fall hat
Yourself, you cannot go far wrong If
you place a pert pair of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back. and the back trimming must
show a trife above the high crown,
from a front view. Many of the hats
may be reversed and orn n way
that proves becoming. For example,
the smart little hat OF velvet with a
rolled brim faced with a lighter col.
ored material and having a pair of
Mercury wings directly In front. might
be whipped around the other way II
me desired. SO that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
be equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very tall pointed tor
pedo" crown and is perfectly round
at the base. The crown is covered
with brown velvet and the wings are
brown with fiecks of coral rink color
