DEMOCRATS WOULD
COMBINE BILLS
Believed That House Would Welcome
the Combination-Wou Put
II Up to Taft.

Washington D. c., May 11.-Facing
the question of an early report on the
Canadian reciprocity bill and with the
free-list bill already before them.
members of the senate committee ON
finance are considering a democratic
proposition to couple the two meas
ures. There is no hope of having the
two bills reported as one, but mo-
ton will be made in committee.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
finds the democratic senators friendly
to the proposition as a whole. He also
has been in consultation with regular
and insurgent republicans, some of
whom have manifested interest. Many
of the insurgent senators favor broad
ening the application of the reciproc-
ity bill, though only few are willing
to change it as proposed by those who
would appropriate the house free bill
without change.
No regular republican would accept
the house bill, except as a means of
defeating the reciprocity bill which
they think would be accomplished by
veto If the two measures should be
combined. The insurgent senators pre-
fer to work out the problem along
their own lines, but they as well as
the democrats confess that in the end
they may find themselves united.
If The democrats realize their ex-
pectation of a solid party vote in favor
of the rider, they win need only five
republican votes to place it on the bill
1t is believed that the house would
welcome the combination and in that
event the president would be compell-
ed to either accept reciprocity with an
enlarged free list or reject both.

United States Troops Are PowerIess
to Protect Americans as Situa-
alton Now Stands.

Washington d. c., May 9.-Unless
congress takes hand in the situation,
the United States forces on the Mexi-
can border are pOwerless to protect
Americans within range of bullets fall
ing in and around El Paso from Mex
ican rifles
"All we can do, said Major General
Wood chief of staff of the army, last
night, "is to keep our people out of
the danger zone as far as possible and
protest to the beligerents against fir
ing in our direction. Without author
ity from congress the army cannot
cross the border, no matter what hap
pens"
Administration officials are watching
the constantly changing situation with
deep and anxious interest. News that
hostilities had been resumed was re-
ceived at the White House this after
noon with obvious surprise and disap-
pointment. The presidents attitude
as to Intervention is just what it has
been since the troops were sent to
Texas. Without action of congress
there can be no Intervention.
Through the state department re-
ceived practically no advices, the war
department is keeping in close touch
with Ell Paso through the army Off
cials. However, nothing can be added
to the instructions which were given
when it became known that another
battle was imminent. The only orders
were that Americans were to be kept
as far as possible away from the firing
line.

OPPOSE
REC|PROs|TY BILL
StahI Says Farmer is Not One to Strike
at Because of High Prices to
Consumers.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 11.-John NJ. Stahl,
legislative agent for the Farmers Ma
tional Congress announced yesterday
that the alliance, which is represented
in it's membership in nearly all the
important farming states, would op-
pose reciprocity with Canada. This
decision, he said, had been reached
after a thorough investigation of all
the economic and industrial conditions
involved.
There can be no DOUBT, Mr.. Stahl
said, that the Canadian trade agree
ment would very seriously injure mil.
lions of our farmers. The prices of
grains and farm animals are much less
than a year ago.
"The price of hogs on the Illinois
or Iowa farm in the last thirty days
has been only so per cent of the price
in the same period of 1910, but the
prices of meats to the city consumer
are nearly as high now as then. The
farmer is not the one to strike at be
cause of the high prices of foodstuffs
to city consumers.
"The proposed agreement with Can
ada is unfair and inequitable. 1t will
hurt our farmers seriously. And what
Injuries the farmers will lead to injury
to Others"
The Farmers National Congress is
composed of about 5000 delegates ap
pointed by the state governors on the
recommendation of the agricultural or
ganizations of the states.

TOO LATES" WIN ANOTHER
VICTORY At WASHINGTON

Washington, says the governments de-
murrer to the petition for an injunc-
tion in the Levi Gritts case (too late
baby case) had been sustained by the
supreme court for the District of Co
lumbia. An appeal to the supreme
court of the United States is now the
only thing in the way of settlement
of this case in favor of the too lates. +"
1t is expected the appeal will be taken
by the Gritts attorneys. The injunc-
ton was asked to prevent the enroll
ment of the "too lates" as citizens of
the Cherokee nation.
The following telegram was receiv-
ed this afternoon:

WATERLOO OF OPPOSITION
TO FREE WOOL SCHEDULE

Washington, d. c., May 9-The I'm
derwood organization in the house has
met its Waterloo in the wool fight.
The chairman of the ways and means
committee is ready to admit that his
request for a duty on raw wool will
be voted down in the house caucus.
When the country heard that at
least Is per cent duty on wool was
probable storm of protests made the
"shaky" members desert William j.
Bryan declared for free wool and his
followers revolted against the tariff.
The final break came yesterday when
Burton Harrison of New York, mem
Der of the ways and means commit
tee, asked his delegation how to vote.
Eighteen of the twenty-five voted for
free wool. New Jersey followed the
lead and instructed it's members,
Hughes, to advocate free wool.
The announcement that Champ
Clark, who had been counted for a
low duty, was for free wool was the
straw that broke the back of the con.
servative movement The Underwood
crowd now propose to fix the duty al
per cent each year until wool is
placed on the free list in 1917. The
compromise may save complete rout
of the Underwood organization. But
that will be in reality a victory for
the free wool advocates.

DEMOCRATS VOTE SOLlDLY
FOR FREE LIST BILL

Washington, D. c., May 9.-Nine
hours of continuous pounding at the
hands of the republican minority of
the house of representatives failed to
make change in the first democratic
tariff bill, that of placing on the free
list agricultural implements, meats,
and many other articles. The bill
passed the house last night by the
vote of 236 to 109. The democrats
voting solidly and mastering "a re-
publicans with them. This came after
the democrats had voted down or rul-
ed out of order more than 100 amend
ments and had demonstrated again
that the democratic majority was a
compact and smoothly working ma
chine for the enactment of legislation.
Minority leader Mann threw amend
ment after amendment into the debate,
ranging from rice to pig iron. An at
tempt of Mr.. Mann to recommit the
bill to the committee on ways and
means was tabled by the house. After
four or five hours the republican fight
took on the complexion of a fiillibus-
ter Once denied vote by the chair
man, Mr.. Mann intimated the bill
would not pass in hurry. Following
that republicans repeatedly demanded
rising votes but in the end Mr.. Mann
made no attempt to delay the final
vote on the bill. In all the republican
leader offered SO amendments.

today are conquerors of the town,
which is the most important capture
of the revolution. They are in pos
session of four hundred and fifty thou
sand rounds of ammunition, seven hun
dred Mauser rifles, several machine
guns and field pieces. Conservative
rebel leaders hope the battle at Juarez
will be the last chapter of the military
side of the revolution. Having demon
strated their strength in the field, they
now wish to turn their attention to an
argument of words and public opinion.
They are ready to listen to a PROPOSE
tion from the government. The lead
ers today conferred with Madero and
are now revising the demands made
before the battle. They will insist
upon naming the governors of four
teen states and four portfolios in the
cabinet, Also they will insist that
Diaz fix definite time for retirement.
They consider that Limantour is the
real iron hand of the government,
though they believe Diaz' consent must
be secured to any peace arrangements.
Plans are being made to send out an
army to meet General Rabago and the
federal army believed to be marching
here from Chihuahua.
