The story told by thf % ricans was

ranges, had been Chihuahua
after the evacuation ne federals, TO
look after women am children men,
bers of his family. Becoming fright
ened he went to the British vice con-
sulate and during the absence of Vice
Consul Scobell, the rebels. who had
been searching the town for Terrazas,
rushed into the consulate, seized Ter
razas and then paraded the prisoner
through the streets, afterward locking
him in a cell in the state building.
1t was said that a demand for $780,
000 which he failed to pay, was the
chief motive in the arrest of Ter
razas.
Luis Terrazas. Sr.. the aged father
of the prisoner, recently arrived ut
Ojinaga with the federal troops. His
great wealth has been a special mark
for discussion in the propaganda of
the revolution, while the thousands of
his cattle over the state have served
to feed both the rebels and federals.

GOVERNOR USES VETO.
Alaska Executive Blocks Exclusion
of Aliens From Fishing Grounds.

Aaska's governor. by means of his veto
power, has baked efforts to exclude
aliens from the Alaskan fishing grounds
and by this, 1T is believed, has prevented
further aggravation of the situation in
California. The Alaska legislature passed
bill with the alien exclusion provision
and when reports came to Secretary
Lane he telegraphed to the governor for
information, and received the following:
Replying to the departments telegram
this date. 1 disapproved on the last day
Of the session the alien fishing bill, which
had been passed two days before My
message set forth that control OF fisher
les in navigable waters of the coast be-
longs to sovereign authority, which. In
ease Of "A territory, means the nation:
also that the question of excluding aliens
either from our territorial boundaries or
from Il great industry therein is one for
the federal government, especially in view
OF its international aspects. So the veto
was unanimously sustained"

MEMBERS0F CONGRESS
Urge Several Changes Be
Made in Tariff Bill of Ben
eft to Industries.

Adjourning their formal conference to
pay personal visits to members OF the
Senate and House. manufacturers and
in the Underwood tariff bill today began
earnest efforts to have placed in the
bill a provision allowing the President
to increase duties on articles if the
interests of the country make 1t ad-
visable
International fair play was asked
for by the manufacturers in a letter sent
today to Chairman Simmons of the Sen
ate finance committee. The letter con-
tanned resolution urging a clause in
the tariff bill under which the free list
would be extended to foreign nations
only so rapidly as such countries agree
on their part to extend what the Presi-
dent shall deem a fair equivalent for
our own large concessions"
Resolutions Sent to Congress.
Another resolution contained in the
letter requested that the provisions for
special duties designed to prevent IN
fair or guerrilla competition and to
guard against bounty paid goods" be
made effective for all articles on the
free list as well as those on the duti-
able list" Copies of these resolutions
were also sent to the President and
to all members of Congress.
The manufacturers and producers
will hold no more formal meetings at
this time. but will return again to
Washington when the Senate takes up
the tariff bill. Their leaders declared
today that they had hopes that they
would be treated fairly by the Presi-
dent and by Congress, and would be
given an opportunity to state their
case plainly and openly.
In addition to the national and state
manufacturing associations represent
ed at the conference there are agri-
cultural implement and vehicle. hard
ware. glass, sugar, leather. fiber reed.

ers.

abuse his mind of that thought. l re-

Scores Predatory Wealth.


I'VE will find" he added, that instead OF
having the Senate filled up with repre-
sentatives of predatory wealth who use
their power to oppose the things that the
people love. we will find that the honor
Of n position in that body will be reserved
as a peoples prize with which to reward
those who have proven themselves ca
pable of the discharge of public duties
and men TO be trusted with the people
interests.
To-day predatory wealth stands con-
Tossing before the bar of public justice
| that 1t has disgraced the name of bust
ness. and what President Wilson is try
ing to do is to separate honest business
| from dishonest business. SO that the coun-
try Will not bear the odium of dishonest
business.
IF President Wilson's election means
anything 1t means that the government is
to be administered by the peoples rep
resentatives on their behalf for the bene-
fit of all the people. and that privilege
will not have the advantage 1t has had
in the past, but that equal rights to all
and special PRIVILEGES TO none will be
embodied in every department of this gov
ernment.'
