OBJECT TO 81 DEPOSIT
Socialists Pass Resolutions Denounc-
ing City for Water Rules.

The Socialist party of Shawnee
| county in a resolution passed, con-
dennis the city administration and
the practice of requiring the water
consumers of Topeka to make a So
deposit. The resolution calls upon the
working people to refuse to pay this
deposit, insinuating that the city is
now enjoying a robbers privilege
The resolution reads:
Whereas, every citizen of Topeka
IS assumed to be dishonest on the
theory that all men are rascals and
dead beats until proven otherwise,
through the fact that every consumer
of city water is forced to deposit 81
with the city administration,
And, Whereas, great number of
citizens of Topeka who are barely
making a living, and whose income is
not more than $1.25 a day in this time
of high cost of living, are forced to
pay this 81 or go without water.
And whereas, it is despotic and
tyrannical to force the citizens of To-
peka to deposit 81 on the assumption
that they are dishonest especially as
three-fourths of the citizens do not
use more than 40 cents worth of wat
er per month, and without giving to
the depOSitors compensation for the
use of the 50 of which the city has
no right, only a privilege enjoyed by
robbers,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
condemn such methods used by the
city administration as being radical
and form of state capitalism.
And be it further resolved, that we
call on the working class of Topeka to
refuse to place any deposit with the
city administration and let the city
shut them off from the use of water
for which they would have a good
case for damages against the city.
And be it further resolved, that we
call the attention of the working
elias of Topeka to the fact that the
commission form of government is
not less capitalistic than the Demo-
cratic or Republican administrations
that for instance a private corporation
such as the gas company does not
force its patrons to deposit any
amount or to pay for the meter.
BE it further resolved, that a copy
of this resolution be given to the pub
lie press. and that 1000 circulars be
printed for distribution, so that a
copy of these resolutions may be left
with the citizens of Topeka

ON CONTRIBUTION BILL.

Senator Culberson's resolution limiting
campaign contributions to 5000 was con-
sidered in the Senate yesterday. No ac-
ton, however, was taken on the meas
ure. Mr.. Culberson attempted to obtain
unanimous consent agreement that the
Senate take vote on the bill next
Tuesday, but Senator Hepburn Of Idaho
objected.
IT think this measure is in the interest
of purity of politics." declared Senator
Culberson. Il believe that a bill of
this kind ought to be passed. under
which we limit the individuals who may
be permitted to contribute to campaign
funds and then to limit the amount they
may contribute"
Senators Lodge OF Massachusetts, and
Sutherland of Utah opposed the $500
limitation upon campaign contributions
as too low. ~

REBEL LEADER
LEAVES JUARBZ

orozco the principal rebel leader in the
Mexican revolution, has gone out from
Juarez to take his last stand in an en-
gagement with the government troops,
according to dispatch received at the
War Department yesterday from Gen
Steever, commanding the American pa
troll at FL Paso. The movements of
Orozco and his men are somewhat mys-
terious but IT is believed that he Is en-
deavoring either to join the rebel forces
in Northwest Chihuahua, near the
Sonora line or else is endeavoring to
get in behind the Federal advance upon
Juarez.
The situation in Juarez is reported as
desperate. following Orozco's with
drawal Most of the fifty men left on
guard are drunk and are terrorizing the
citizens. There has been considerable
looting of private property. and furni-
ture has been carried out of public
buildings and offered for sale. The Ger
man and American consuls at Juarez
have organized a police force of citi-
zens for the protection of their prop
erty and the foreigners.
A detachment of 100 OF Orozco's men
went up the Rio Grande yester-
day to a point opposite the big smelt-
ers. and it was feared they were plan
ming to get across into New Mexico to
obtain horses and supplies.

there has been augmented by the arrival

opposite Fabens, apparently on raid for

HOUSE WILL WATCH

No "Packed" Commission Will Be

The conference will meet tomorrow to
reconcile the differences between the
House and the Senate bills. The prin-
cipal points Of difference. besides that
involving the army posts, are the length
OF the term of enlistment and a reduc-
tion in the number of cavalry regiments,
which the House bill provides for. The
conferees will compromise on the term
Of enlistment by cutting II down from
five years, as proposed in the House
bill. to four years. The Senate bill re-
tains the present term, three years. On

the House will recede. 1t is believed.
No ..Packed" Commission.
But when it comes to compromising
the abandonment question. the House
conferees will not again be caught nap
ping. In the conference on the previous
bill, in proposing to leave the question
to commission composed principally
of army officers, the conferees agreed
to name the commission. which Of itself
is irregular. Then. while the House con-
ferees were not looking, the Senate man
ayers submitted the names Of four army
officers virtually all Of whom had pre-
viously passed on the question and had
decided in favor of retaining Fort d. A.
Russell, Wyo., Senator Warren's especial
ward and care. The present administra-
ton OF the War Department wishes to
abandon Fort ID. A. Russell, and this is
one of the posts for which the House bill
fails to make provision. This time. the
conferees will name the commission, but
will not include in II retired officers who
have passed on the question before.

PASS LEGISLATIVE BILL.
Measure VIII Receive Second Veto
from President.

The Mouse last night, without opposi-
tion or even a roll call passed the leg
islative bill with the amendment abolish
ing the Commerce Court and omitting
appropriations for the Bureau of Trade
Relations. The bill will undoubtedly be
passed by the Senate on tomorrow or
Tuesday. and then will be sent back
to the White House where Mr.. Taft will
veto it for the second time.
The House leaders will then pass the
bill over the Presidents veto, but the
effort to override the veto probably will
be blocked in the Senate, although the
vote will be close. II the Democrats fail
to muster a sufficient number of votes
in the Senate to put the vetoed measure
through. the big money bill will probably
be introduced for the third time devoid
of the Questionable features, and sent
to the White House.

To AVOID
TREATY CONTEST
Taft Would Make Question Open to
Settlement in Federal
Courts.
PREVENT APPEAL TO HAGUE

President Taft has decided to take the
initiative in an effort to bring about the
Panama Canal legislation at this session.
without entailing international compli-
cations. The President called Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, who has
been managing the Panama Canal bill
for the Democrats In the Senate. to the
White, House yesterday. and asked for
his support of a plan which the Presi-
dent believes will relieve the United
States of the embarrassment that may
arise through the free-tolls section In
the Panama bill.
The President proposes that legisla-
ton be put through Congress in some
form or other providing that the Panama
Canal legislation now pending shall not
supersede any of the treaty rights OF
the Hay-Paunceforte convention, and
comforting upon United States courts
Jurisdiction to entertain suits for dam
ages filed by aliens on account of the
free-tolls provision of the bill The
President believes that such legislation
would go far toward removing objec-
tions that have been raised to the pres
ent Panama bill
Would Avoid Question.
Mr.. Taft himself believes that the grant
ing of free tolls to American vessels in the
coastwise trade will not constitute a vio-
lation OF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. but
he acknowledges that the question Is open
to debate. Since il is debatable he is anx-
ious 10 have this government avoid put
ting itself in a position where II may be
accused, however unjustly. with bad faith
and the violation of treaty obligation.
The mere raising of this question. in the
Presidents opinion. ought 10 be avoided IL
possible.
Mr.. Taft has told members of Con-
gress who have conferred with him that
he believes this embarrassment can be
avoided II action is taken along the lines
indicated by him. A statute like the
Panama Canal legislation will supersede
a treaty when the two conflict. but this
can be met, the President suggested. by
a specific reservation on this point.
Would Satisfy Britain.
The opening OF the United States courts
to damage suits by aliens on account
of the free-tolls provision would quickly
lead to the Supreme Court of the United
States constituting the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. II that high tribunal held that
the United States had a right under the
treaty to grant free tolls to American
vessels in the coastwise trade Great
Britain. according to the administra-
TONS view. probably would be inclined
to accept the opinion without attempting
TO carry the question to The Hague.
Just how the President is TO bring
about this legislation. or whether he will
be able to bring il about is uncertain.
The House last night passed the bill as
II came from conference, and the meas
ure is now before Mr.. Taft for his dis
approval. or his approval The next day
or two will be devoted by the President
to ascertaining the likelihood of the Sem
ate and the House accepting an amend
ment of the character indicated.
