RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
THESE WELCOME PROPOSAL OF
UNITED STATES FOR GEN.
ERAL ARBITRATION
PREMIER ASQUITH SPEAKS.
LAYS STRESS ON FACT THAT 1T
DOESN'T MEAN REDUCTION
OF ARMAMENTS

London, April 2S-Guildhall today
witnessed a mammoth meeting for the
adoption of resolutions, pledging the
city of London to the support of the
Anglo-American arbitration treaty.
The meeting represented the de-
mocracy of England rather than the
aristocracy. Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. AS
quith spoke eloquently of the treaty
first proposed by President Taft, de-
claring it would mark a new era in
civilization, but both pointedly de
clared that such an arbitration treaty
between the United States and
Great Britain would not mean the i'm
mediate reduction of ornaments.
Resolutions welcoming the proposal
of the United States in favor of an
treaty with Great Brit
ain and pledging the citizens of Lon
don to the principles of such treaty
we're moved by Premier Asquith and
seconded by Mr. Balfour. These were
adopted amid great cheering.

Washington, April 2S.-A bill pro-
viding for the enlargement of the ma
tional house of representatives from
991 to 433 members and the appor-
tionment of these members to the
different states on the basis of the
population shown by the recent feder-

The proposed size Of the house is
identical with that provided for in
the Crumpacker bill, passed by the
house at the last session of congress,
but not acted upon b ythe senate. The
Houston bill, passed yesterday. leaves
t. the legislatures of the different
states the power to rearrange the con-
gressional districts in their respective
states, as on the new popular basis
of one member for each 211,S77 in

The two important amendments

redistrlcting power in the hands of the
governors of states when the legisla-
ture had failed to act, and to limit the
house in the future to a membership

CHARLES DOLL PREDICTS THAT
lNSURRECTION IN MEXICO
WILL TRIUMPH

That General Madero and his in
surrecto forces viii be victorious in
the struggle for political freedom in
Mexico is the statement of Charles
DolA of this city. captain in the reb-
ell forces, who returned to Las We
gas last night to recuperate from the
effects of the strenuous fighting in
which he has been engaged, Doll
is suffering from a dislocated knee
cap, which was caused by fall down
a steep embankment during one of
the more recent engagements. He ex-
poets to be able to return to Mexico
and join his command with two
weeks. In the meantime he is enjoy
ing well-earned rest, although he is
anxious to get back into the fight.
Doll says the struggle will not con-
tinue much longer. He says Madero
will win as the federals already are
as good as whipped. The great ma
jority of the people of Mexico are
with the insurrectos in spirit if not
actually carrying arms. Doll received
his commission as captain because of
bravery displayed at the battle OF
Casas Grandes. He has been in the
thick of every fight and ranks high
in the councils of General Madero.
According to Doll, Madero could
easily have pushed his campaign to
speedy conclusion but for the lack OF
guns and ammunition. The soldiers
in his army have received no pay for
many weeks. They are fighting for the
love of their country and what they
believe is right. Doll does not think
the insurrectos will let up in their
attacks until they have scored COM
plete victory.
Doll is a veteran of two wars, hav-
ing fought in the Boer war and seen
service in South America. While re-
siding in Las Vegas he obtained con-
siderable fame as a wrestler and
