Believes
Nation Approves
The Tariff Bill
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson believes the tariff bill meets
the general approval of the country,
that no healthy business will be in
terrupted and that while in most cases
the cost of living will not be immedi-
ately reduced, the consumer will feel
at once the benefit of reduction of
the sugar duty. These views were
expressed by the President in a talk
with newspaper men at the White
House.

PRESIDENT ENERGIES FROM THE
FIRST WEEK OF sPEcIAL sEs-
SION IN GOOD CONDITION
E MEASURES HAVE EASY SAILING
1t Is Believed Tariff Program Will Be
Put Through With No Material
Changes-Hard Fight promised On
Sugar and Wool Schedule in Senate.

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson emerged from the first week
of the special tariff session of Con-
gress apparently in a stronger position
as the active leader of Democracy than
at any time since he assumed the pres
idency.
Within the brief space of seven days
he had won victory in the caucus OF
House Democrats for his free sugar
program had formed a working agree
ment with the Democratic leaders OF
the Senate, which, it is believed, will
insure general support of his tariff
program in that body, and had estab-
lished precedents of presidential CO.
operation with Congress, which, if sue
cessful are expected greatly to in
fluence the entire program of legisla-
ton throughout the Wilson admins
tration.
The presidents visit to Congress
Tuesday to deliver his opening ad-
Senate precincts next day to confer
with finance committee members up
on the tariff plans, overshadowed all
other developments of the week.
Leaders in both houses who have
sounded out sentiment in Democratic
ranks since these events occurred de-
clared the effect of the rpesident's
invocations has been to strengthen
Democratic unity Of action as to leave
the president in a dominating position
at the outset of his administration.
At all points where Mr.. Wilson's de-
cisions were instrumental in the fix
ing of rates in the new tariff bill the
full Democratic membership Of the
House voted to sustain him in caucus
by heavy majorities. House leaders
who deferred to him in the fixing Of
many of the tariff rates have support
ed his decisions and successfully ralli
ed party support to his defense as the
bill has been fought over by the Dem
ocratic members.
The tariff revision fight admittedly
is only begun; but the Developments
of the last week have convinced party
leaders that there are likely to be few
changes from the rates favored by the
president and little dissension within
Democratic ranks over the final ap
proval of the bill The wool fight viii
come in the house caucus early this
week. While a Democratic minorit,
organization of forty or more repre-
sentatives will attempt to upset th
presidents free wool program, it is eS
pected that the administration will b.
sustained by large majority as it wa
in the fight on the sugar tariff pre-
vision.
Senate leaders have pledged to tn
president their support of the suga
and wool provisions as finally adopte
in the House. 1t is believed that fre
sugar and wool opponents in the Ser
ate will not acquire sufficient strengt
to alter the bill. Senator Myers, c
Montana, who has been counted upo
by some of the antifree wool forces a
their ally, has informed members
the finance committee and has state
publicly that he favors the free woo
program and will actively uphold tn
presidents course as to this schedule

BRAVE FEDERAL COMMANDER
TRUE TO HIS WORD REFUSES
TO SURRENDER TO REBELS.
HALF HIS TROOPERS KILLED
Seige Lasting Five Days and Handful
of Soldiers Fought Bravely Against
odds-FederaIs Rushed Across the
Border in Shower of Bullets.

Naco, Ariz., April 14.-General Ped
ro Ojeda, commanding the remnants
of his Federal garrison of 300 troopers
at Naco, Sonora, surrendered to Unit
ed States troops on border patrol herr
Sunday night, after having withstood
a siege of state troops which lasted
for five days, and in which more than
half his troopers were killed.
The surrender was hastened by the
attack upon the Federal garrison by
eral Obregon, commanding the state
troops, who at day break burst in up
on the little garrison across the border
and fought viciously. The dead on
both sides have been estimated at 200.
General Ojeda, true to his promise,
refused to surrender to the state
| forces, and while the fighting was at
its height he attempted to march
across the border with his band OF
! faithful Federals. The fire from the
enemy was demoralizing and Ojeda
and his men scattered, running to the
railway tracks which separate the two
border towns. Not even then did the
firing cease, and General Ojeda shout
ed to the American soldiers, watch
ing the fighting from a distance.
Captain H. A. Sevarts, Company A.
Ninth United States Cavalry, ran at
once to his assistance. The American
officers grasped the Mexican general
Dy the hand. Together they ran
through the hail of lead to where an
automobile was waiting.

garrison, with fifteen men, remained
