PRESIDENT SIGNS THE
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Chief Executive o. KS Appropriation
Act Under Professionalism Gives
His Reasons.

Washington, June 25.-President
Wilson signed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill Monday, with a statement
declaring that he would have vetoed
If he could, the provision in it exempt
ing labor unions and farmers crgani'
cations from prosecution under GER
tain 100000 fund designated for the
operation of the Sherman antitrust
law. In signing the bill the president
issued the following statement:
Il have signed this bill because
can do so without in fact limiting the
opportunity or the power of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute viola
lions of the law by whomsoever com.
mitted.
''If i could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which author
lied the expenditure by the depart
ment of justice of special sum OF
$4,000 for the prosecution of viola
lions of the antitrust law, l would
have vetoed that item, because 1t
places upon the expenditure limita-
ton which is in my opinion un1usti-
udDlS III CudTdCLSI 6nu PAlAGApAO. oAt
could not separate 1t. / do not un.
derstand that the limitation was In
tended as either an amendment or an
Interpretation OF the antitrust law,
but merely as an expression or the
opinion of the congress- very en-
phatic opinion backed by an over
whelming majority Of the house OF
representatives and large majority
of the senate, but not intended to
touch anything but the expenditure OF
a single small additional fund.
Il can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor in any way
embarrass the actions Of the depart
ment of justice. Other appropriations
supply the department with abundant
funds to enforce the law. The law Will
be interpreted in the determination OF
what the department should do, by IN
dependent and l hope impartial judg-
ments as to the true and just meaning
of substantiative statutes of the

SUGAR AND WOOL
PUT ON FREE LIST
Later Wins by Big Majority in
Senate caUs5fs
UNDERWOOD RATE is REFUSED
Consideration of Agricultural Seized
ule Resumed-Fieht Over Amend
ment Putting countervaIIIna
Rate on Wheat and Flour.

Washington, June 27-After a two
days fight the Democratic caucus OF
the senate approved free sugar and
free wool in the tariff revision meas
ure Wednesday.
The sugar schedule as reported by
the majority members of the finance
committee, and practically as Ii
passed the house, was approved by a
vote Of 40 to 6. Free raw wool, as
submitted by the majority and just as
it passed the house, swept the senate
caucus by vote of Al to g.
The six Democratic senators who
voted against free sugar on the final
vote approving the schedule were
Hitchcock of Nebraska, Newlands or
Nevada, Ransdelr and Thornton of
Louisiana, Shafroth of Colorado and
Walsh of Montana. The six who OPP
posed free raw wool to the end were
Chamberlain of Oregon, Newlands of
Nevada Ransdell and Thornton of
Louisiana, Shafroth and Walsh.
Senator Thompson of Kansas of
fered an amendment to retain the I'm
derwood rate for three years, reduce it
so per cent. in 1916 and % per cent.
each succeeding year until it reached
the free list. Senators Chamberlain,
Fletcher, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shat
roth, Thompson, Tillman and Walsh
supported this amendment
Senator Walsh offered the amend
ment to the wool schedule proposing
SYrfxy Of Cd
first class woods and that woods OF the
second and third class, such as carpet
and clothing wool, be free. This was
defeated, SO to z, senators voting for
1t being Chamberlain, Newlands,
Ransdell, Shafroth, Thompson, Thorn
ton and Walsh. Three senators were
absent, Culberson, Owens and Lewis.
Discussion of the issues was lively
all day. Senators Ransdell. Thomp-
son, Thornton, Newlands. Lane and
Shafroth took up most of the time for
the opposition, while the chief admin
istration defendants were Senators
James, Thomas and Pomerene.
When sugar and wool had been dis
posed of the caucus ratified the COM
mittee amendment placing hair of the
Angora goat on the free list. Consid-
Grafton of the agricultural schedule
was then resumed and a dispute at
once arose over the committee
amendment putting a countervailing
duty on wheat and flour.
Two far-reaching amendments to
the administrative provisions of the
tariff bill aroused opposition. One
was that prohibiting importation of
any goods, except immediate products
of agriculture, forests and fisheries,
wholly or in part manufactured by
children under fourteen years old.

BAKER STATUTE
THROWS LIGHT ON QUESTION OF
SALOONS IN EXCESS OF ONE
TO $50 POPULATION.
MAY TRANSFER LOCATIONS
To Hold License Where Number of
Saloons Exceeds Limit, Keeper Must
Have Been in Business July I, 1907,
or Enter Place Used at That Time.

Madison -Attorney General w. c.
Owen, in ten explanatory paragraphs
on the Baker saloon law, has come
to the rescue of councilmen and at
torneys burdened with the task of
granting licenses under the provi-
sions of the new statute.
The problem of granting licenses
in communities in which there were
saloons in excess of one to every ESQ
inhabitants in 1907 is explained by
the attorney general.
His deductions are as follows:
CD A person in the saloon bust
ness July /, 1907, may be continued
to be licensed for such purpose at
the same location.
CD If the owner of premises re-
fuses to rent the same for saloon
purposes, then the person engaged
in such business at such place July
/, 1907, may be licensed to run a
saloon at another location.
go AS long as the owner of prem
Uses on which a saloon was run July
l, 1907, is willing to rent or himself
use the same for saloon purposes,
the lessee cannot be licensed to run
a saloon at location not used for
saloon purposes July 1, 1907.
(4) The owner of premises upon
which a saloon was run July /, 1907,
may continue the use of such prem
Uses for saloon purposes, running the
On n or tirc RI rath
CD If the saloon was run by a
renter on July /, 1907, and such
renter abandons the saloon business,
the owner of the premises may rent
the same to another who may be
licensed to run saloon at that place.
CD If the owner of premises
was himself running saloon July
/, 1907, he may drop out of the bust
ness and lease the premises to an
other who may be licensed to run a
saloon at that location.
CD He may likewise convey the
premises to another and the business
may be continued by such greater or
the lessee of such grantee.
go To entitle person to saloon
license where the number of saloons
exceeds the ratio limit, he must
either (a) have been in the business
July /, 1907, and continuously ever
since, or (b) be licensed for place
used for such purposes July /, 1907,
and continuously ever since.
(9) When location used for sa-
loon purposes July /, 1907, has been
abandoned for such purposes, the
privilege secured to it by section
1850 is forfeited
Likewise, when person in the sa-
loon business July 1, 1907, drops out
of such business, he forfeits the
right secured to him by said section.
(10) When a municipality votes
wet" after having been 'tdry," no
more than one saloon to each $50
population may be licensed.

CALERO TELLS WHY
HE QUIT POSITION
Was Not In Accord With MaderO's
POIicy-Fears for National SOver-
eighty If Madero Is Forced Out.


Mexico, City, Jan. 14-Don Manuel
CaIero, hitherto Mexican ambassador
to the United States, uneQuivOcally
gave the cause for his resignation II
the Enthusiastically at Washington II
a statement yesterday.
The cause, he said, was his lack of
accord with the policy of the Mexican
administration He expressed the
opinion, however, that president Me-
derO must be sustained, since his over
throw would mean the beginning OF
series of revolutions which would be
the death blow, if not TO our nation
atty, at least to our sovereignty"
In his statement Mr.. CalerO said
81 keenly desire that the policy,
which 1 consider mistaken, shall serve
to save the country in the crisis which
faces it; but since my opinion IS con-
trary, and since felt the republic was
nearing an abyss of misery and hu-
initiation, I regarded as unsupportable
my post as Mexican ambassador to
Washington
always assume an aspect of extreme
delicacy when the situation of our
country is as it is at present and If
that situation is due in good part, in
the opinion of the ambassador, to the
errors of his government, then that am
bassadOr ought to resign a mission
which he feels cannot be sustained in
definitely"
Senior CalerO attributes much Of the
weakness OF the Mexican -administra-
ton to the influence of Jose Pine
SuareZ, vice president and minister Of
public instruction. He said:
The labor of all Mexicans ought to
be more strenuous to assist the gov
eminent to correct its deficiencies that
1t may live out its constituted life. If
the government falls the result will be
revolt.
with or without Intervention we are
lost because the country will enter into
a new cycle Of revolution and will see
the army uprising. which viii give a
death blow, if not to our nationality at
least to our sovereignty.
I consider blind the work Of those
who demand the overthrow of president
MaderO without taking into considera-
ton at the same moment that there
can be nothing after Madero except a
military dictatorship, of whose evils
we only know through reading Of the
dictatorship Of Gen. Antonio Lopez de
Santa Ana
THAT of DiaZ was a civil dictatorship
and the dictator an exceptional man
whose virtues were greater than his
defects.
The democratic regime at whose
gates we are knocking, will begin on
that day when Madero is substituted
at the end of his constitutional period
by another president elected by the
people"
