RIGID NEUTRALITY WILL

SHIPPED FROM THE
TRYING TO SAVE TIME
Stand Firm and say Little is Demo-
cratic Policy in the Senate,
While Republican Ranks
Are Shattered

Washington, July 25.-The Sen
ate took its first plunge into the in
tricacies of the Underwood-Simmo
tariff revision bill yesterday. At the
end OF a day of hard work only a few
paragraphs of the voluminous meas
ure had been completed when ad
journment was reached On every
test vote democratic leaders were up
held, in some cases receiving the sup
port of republicans aligned with the
progressive element.
Detailed consideration of the bill
began Unexpectedly when it was
found that no republican senators
were ready to deliver general tariff
speeches. Chairman Simmons of the
finance committee urged that the
senate lose no time in pushing the
measure 10 vote, and with the con-
sent of the republicans the reading
Of the bill. line for line, was begun.
Tests of strength came upon a
number of relatively unimpOrtant is
sues embraced in duties upon chem
IicaIs and drugs. The democratic
ranks held solidly upon each vote.
| Upon the first vote, when Senator
Smoot opposed the reduction of the
oxaIic acid duty from 2 cents to1 1a
cents per pound, Senators BOrah,
Bristow, Crawford, Cummins, Jones,
La Toilette. Norris and Works, re-
! publicans, joined the democrats in
endorsing the proposed reduction.
| On a subsequent vote to increase the
duty on pyrogallic acid from 10 to / )
Iper cent. twelve republicans voted
with the democrats.
Democratic senators eVinced the
determination of the party managers
to hold to the minimum. No demo
cratic senators participated in gene
raj discussion further than to give
information as to the reasons for the
/ reductions.
The democrats have determined to
make few speeches, and to use their
efforts to minimize debate and hasten
final passage of the bill.

Mr.. SPARKMAN
WAS MISINFORMED
Seems to Have Been Imposed Upon
by Man Who Should Have
known Better
(By H. c. SparkmanD

Washington, July 24.-One week
ago | sent out a letter TO several
newspapers in Florida containing
copy of a letter from Hon. Claude
L'Engle TO Hon. W. A McRae. COM
missioner of agriculture. Tallahas-
see, Florida, relative to certain home
stead cases in Volusia county.
In this letter and in my comment
thereon it was stated that the Con-
solidated Naval Stores Company were
the instigatOrs of the suits to Oust
the homesteaders. My information
was based on letters received by Con-
gressman LEngle from one of the
most prominent attorneys in Florida
which not only charged the COnsoli-
dated Company with being back of
the suits but charged their attorneys
with having fixed" matters with the
officials of the land office through
some members of the Florida delega-
ton so that a decision would be
made in favor of the company and
against the homesteaders.
knowing the reputation of the au-
thor of the letters it never occurred
to me to doubt the charges as a
whole though | mistrusted the cor
rectness of some of the charges as to
details.
So grave were the charges against
the land office officials and members
of the Florida delegation that when
the letters were transmitted to the
commissioner of the general land Of
flee he ordered a thorough investiga-
ton. This investigation extended
! over two days, July Is and 10 and
I was attended by the members of the
: Florida delegation, the chief counsel
of the Consolidated Naval Stores Co,
other attorneys from Florida and of
7 ficials and former officials Of the land
! office
Every available witness was exam
ined, the attorney making the charges
not being present though urged to at
tend. and not one word in substantial
/ tiOn of the charges was uttered. On
I the contrary they were denied and
disproven not only by the members
( of the Florida delegation mentioned
in the charges but by the land office
officials and former officials and by
attorneys from Florida who if the
charges had been true would have
known it.

Naval Stores Company showed con

HUERTA WILL BE BADLY
HAMPERED
If the Policy President Wilson Has
Recently Decided on is Strictly
Enforced.

Washington, July 25.-President
Wilson has determined that no fac
tion in the present Mexican revOlu-
tion shall obtain arms or ammunition
from the United States and that neu-
trality must be observed in its strict
est sense. This was the Interpretation
of the neutrality laws decided upon
by the President yesterday after con-
ferences with Senator Bacon and
Representative Flood, chairman
of the two congressional committees
on foreign relations.
While the Mexican rebels have
been getting arms heretofore, yester-
days developments mean that the
Huerta administration will be de-
prived of the privilege previously ac-
corded the MaderO government and
that the United States will treat all
sides alike in the present dispute.
This will interfere immaterially with
the plans of the Huerta forces, since
orders for large supplies of arms and
ammunition have been placed recent
ly with firms in the United States.
Although the constitutionalists hold
no seaports of consequence, they
have demoraIized the railroad sys-
TENS and and it would be difficult
for the federals to transport muni-
tions into the interior after import
ing them from Europe.

Rome, July 5,-Throughout yes
terday the Vatican was in a veritable
state of seige. This was the outcome
of the mutiny of the Swiss guards,
whose demands, in the form of me-
mortal relating their grievances and
setting forth the conditions on which
they would remain in the service
were rejected.
Three leaders in the movement
were expelled from the Vatican.
Four others left last night and twelve
have requested leave to depart for
their homes in October.
Those who left were accompanied
to the gates of the Vatican by their
comrades. At the separation they
cried: viva Garibaldi!"
Some of them joined in singing the
Marseillaise. Never before was such
a scene presented in front of the Vat
lean.
Yesterday the guards were reliev-
ed of their cartridges and last night
their rifles were taken from them,
as it was discovered that they had
concealed cartridges.
