MADE A FAST RUN
Charleston Man Here in Auto Was
5elated But Caught Ferry At
ter a Swift Dash.

Ray Gutzweiler of Charleston, Mo.
spent yesterday In Cairo coming over
here in his automobile. In company
ith several friends he returned home
last evening. He wanted to catch the
Greenfield ferry about 5 O'Clock and
was a little late in getting started.
Going out Twenty-first street he
turned the throttle wide open" and
the machine only touched in high
places; one high place in particular
the top of the leyee at the head of
Twenty-first. According to the story
of an eye witness the machine, after
touching the top of the leyee, was
loath to come back to earth in the
down or outer slope. When 1t did
reach terra firma after the plunge,
it shook down the top of the auto
until it dragged on the ground--but
he reached the boat in time.

iay for reduction OF the duty on

Frances OF Ohio, against it.
Many amendments were offered and
voted down. The only one adopted
being a slight change in phraseology.
Almost five hours were spent by the
house in debate under the five minute
bill, Immediately preceding the final
vote motion offered by Representa-
tive Payne that the blu was submitted
to the ways and means committee
with instructions TO await report
from the tariff board on wool was
lost by a vote of 1S9 to 11S.
Representative Underwood In
charge OF the bill kept his forces well
together in their opposition to all
amendments while some Democrats
proposed amendments with one ex.
ception they voted with the party
when the bill came up or passage,
representative Gray of Indiana of.
fered an amendment to replace raw
wool on the free list instead Of 20
per cent and valrem as the bill pro.
1ides and to recommit the bill to
the committee with the instructions
that manufacturers of wool be re-
ducc1 20k per cent al yalorem.
This was lost.
representative Murdock. one Of the
insurgent Republicans who finally
voted for the bill proposed several
amendments placing certain grades
cf wool on the free list His purpose
in these amendments, he stated, was
TO give to the American people pro
lection from the worstead by making
free "those articles which enter into
the manufacture of trust controlled
woolen products"
MIR. Murdoch appealed to Repre-
sentative Harrison of New York of
the way and means committee and To
others of the party who had favored
placing wool on the free list to sup
port him.
Mr.. Harrison replied that he would
vote for the bill although he would
have placed raw wool on the free
list II his personal desires had pre-
vailed.
After the bill had been passed q
message was read from President
Taft in response TO a request he had
made for certain information in re,
gard to the woolen question. The
message stated that the desired in.
formation could not be furnished at
this time.

Returned Missionaries Tell
Of Horrors Of the
Famine
One. Third Of Entire VILLAGE
Die Of PeStileDCe and
Hunger
10y Associated Prsss.)

Washington, D. c., March 9.-More
grews0me stories of horrors of the
Chinese famine reached the state de-
partment today from the consul gen.
eral at Shanghai, who sums up the
conditions at the beginning of Feb
ruary.
One traveller reported passing thir-
teen dead bodies In thirteen miles on
a road. Missionaries tell of natives
eating cakes made of leaves and stems
mixed with millet chaff, which they
buy with allowance from the govern.
ment of three cents apiece.
Trees had been stripped of bark,
which had been eaten. DR.. Cochrane,
American Presbyterian missionary,
declared that in the whole afflicted
region there were 100000 starving
people. In one village of a hundred
families, one-third were dead of hun.
ger and pestilence. Snow was falling
and many were without proper shel.
ter or clothing. Missionaries have at
tackled work of relief with the great.
est system and directness.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-03-10

There is no longer any reason to
doubt that the sudden move on the
part of the American government was
the result of either unofficial repre-.
sentations of foreign governments re-
garding the situation in Mexico, or
the intimation that several of the
European powers were sounding each
other as to the desirability of making
representations to the United States
at an early date. At any rate, the
matter was put up to the administra-
tion in such way as to call for the
quickest sort Of action.
The necessity for this speed of mo-
bilization was seized upon by the war
department as heaven sent oppor-
tunity to answer critics both in and
out of congress, and that interpreta-
ton was put upon the movement.
There was little doubt in the minds
of these officials that the true mean-
ing of the "maneuvers" soon would be
known, but the logical Interpretation
so quickly put upon the movement of
troops unquestionably disconnected
the administration officials from
President Taft down.
The Washington government unex-
pectedly found itself confronted by
the necessity of throwing the army
along the border of the revolutionist
republic and to be in position to in
wade Mexico at moments notice in
the event of the death OF President
Diaz or any other untoward circum-
stance which might precipitate gen.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar. 9.-The white

The action was taken by the union

had failed to result in an agreement.
While the union officials were busy

Situation in Southern California
Causing Some Concern
Monroe Doctrine will be Upheld by
United States Troops

Washington, D. c., Mar. 9.-That
the administration has decided to dis
semble no longer Its reasons for the
sudden and unprecedented movement
of troops to the Mexican border is in
dicated by the following dispatch, re-
received tonight from staff CORES
pondent of the Associated Press, who
is accompanying President Taft on his
Quincy to Atlanta.
The dispatch, dated at Charlottes-
Vile, Va, through which place the
presidents train passed tonight at
7:1O o'clock, is as follows:
All doubt as to the purpose of the
government sending 10000 troops
to the Mexican border has at last been
swept away. The United States has
determined that the revolution in the
republic to the south must end. Am
erican troops have been sent to form
a solid military wall along the Rio
Grande to stop filibustering and to see
that there is no further smuggling Of
men and arms across the internatiOn-
al boundary. 1t is believed that with
this source of contraband supplies cut
off the insurrectionary movement
of troops into Texas and southern Cal
ifornia will so speedily accomplish its
purpose that the net results in the
end ill constitute a valuable lesson
in quick mobilization Of an effective
fighting force that will prove revela-
tion to the country at large, to critics
of the army in particular and justifi-
cation of the automatically worded
explanations that have been given out
from official sources in Washington.
