ALFALFA BILL TO RESCUE;
HE'D SWAT MEXICO ONCE

Oklahoma Representative, and
March onto Capital"
lFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Nov. 7-"Seize every reve-
nue. custom house, throw the navy into
every customs port and take possession
thereof. and cut off both Huerta and :he
insurgent forces from every cent of reve-
nue." was the panacea prescribed for
Mexican ills in statement Issued to-day
by Congressman Alfalfa BIZ Murray,
an Oklahoma Democrat.
MIR. Murray said the Mexican situation
was constantly changing, and that condi-
lions to-day warranted the drastic meas
ures he proposed. A few months ago, he
says, the issue might have been met by
lifting the embargo against ammunition
for the insurgents II Mexico refuses to
be good after the United States has seized
her revenues, Mr.. Murray advocates TAX
ing Mexico City by force of arms. Out
lining his plan for taking possession OF
the Mexican ports Mr.. Murray continues.
This can re done without loss of life,
and by collecting the revenue for thirty
days neither size will have ammunition
with which TO fight. Out of the revenue
thus collected this government could pay
indemnity for foreign losses. and II the
Mexican people can not or do not estab-
Iish peace and order among themselves

all revenues and have fred their last

order cancelling the japanese and foreign
lard concessions.
IT would issue another military order
breaking up the big estates in Mexico and
order them sold to any purchaser Of the
white race in small tracts; open up the
remaining public land to homestead by
Mexican citizens only, giving relief to the
poor of that country; establish universal

with education and ability TO govern

ever revolution in Mexico and give 10
her citizens justice and permanent peace.
The foregoing policy can be inaugu-
rated practically without the loss OF hfe'

lives as have already been lost, and GER

WEBB LAW "TOOTHlESS."
Attorney General Says VioIators Car
Not be Prosecuted CriminaIIy.

Washington, June 21.-The Webl
law forbiddng interstate shipments OF
liquor into dry" states is not Grim
inal statute and violationes of it can
not be prosecuted in United States
courts. Attorney General McReynolds
so declared in instructions sent today
10 every United States attorney in
the country The law merely pro.
hibits such interstate traffic and
contains no penalty for infractions.
Its purpose" said the attorney
general, lis to permit state laws to
operate in respect of intoxicating liQ-
uors moving in interstate commerce. "
The law simply deprives shippers
of any privileges they might claim on
the ground of interstate commerce
and permits the application of state
prohibition laws to interstate COM
merce in liquors.
This is the first time the depart
ment has construed the Webb law
which was declared unconstitutional
by former President Taft and former
Attorney General Wickersham.
President Taft vetoed the bill on
the ground that it violated the inter
state commerce clause of the consti-
tuition by delegating the regulation OF
Interstate commerce to the states. The
bill was passed over his veto.
Attorney General McReynolds in.
terpretation is said to mean that the
federal government is not called upon
10 enforce law for the violation OF
which no penalty is imposed and mat
he law is outlaw commerce in re-
gard to which the states are free to
apply their statutes. The attorney
general did not attempt to pass upon
he constitutionality of the act, and It
5 believed that this question ultima
ely may reach the United States SUI
IRENE court.

omitted by the committee owing to
lack of time was the refunding of

has been unable to sell. No question
was raised over the manner of re-
funding or the state financial boards

today that the wills of the late Ed
ward II. Hartman, Albert C. Bost-
wick, Charles T. Yerkes. Henry B.
flant, Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Robert
Mather, and other prominent persons
he mentioned, were unsafe models to
follow. As a type of the safe and

Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Remsen's ad-
dress, delivered at the annual meet
ing Of the association, was entitled
"A Plea for the Scientific Prrepara.
ton of Wills"
The way TO get better wills" said
Mr.. Remsen, was to make them"
Lawyers were able and willing if that
service was demanded. The client.
he said, must give his lawyer a fair
chance and demand his best service.
When his will is complete he must
demand that it be tested while he is
alive and able to repair any defect
or antiquities that may be discover
ed. This method, he added, produced
the will OF Mr.. Morgan.
y safe will Mr. Remsen defined
as one free from danger The word
sound he said, meant without a
flaw" The safe will was one SO
written as to insure the fulfillment
of the makers wishes. The sound |
Will was one that could be enforced |
event thout it might not insure the
result the maker wished. The Harri-
man Will, he asserted, was clearly
sound but must be classed as unsafe
