Jones and Works Defend Bill.

Senators Jones and Works today issued
the Following joint statement in reference
to the excise amendment:
The statement is being circulated that
the excise bill Incorporated i'm the Dis
trict appropriation bill is a prohibition
measure and that not more than seven
saloon licenses can be legally granted
under Its provisions There is not a
word or truth in this statement 1t is "A
pure fabrication intended to defeat a
worthy measure which all good people i'm
Washington should earnestly support

cfSm might justly have been made upon
the bill, but after thorough hearing.

lowed to appear and be heard. sub

is in no sense prohibitive i'm its char
acter. and under ii three hundred sa-
looms can be established and maintains
ed in the city of Washington without
violating any of its restrictions or
limitations. II is intended to protes 1
the schools and churches of the city
from the encroachmepts of saloons, by
which many of them are now surround
ed to exclude tho sa looms from the
strictly residential portions of the city.
and TO protect minors from the evil
effects of the liquor traffic as far as
possible.
More Than 500 Saloons Here.
Under the law as il now is there arc
more than ave hundred saloons in the
city of Washington: many of them are in
close proximity TO the schoolhouses Of the
city and children cannot go or come with
out passing them. The same is true OF
the churches. There are as many a. ten
saloons on a square, and on Pennsylvania
avenue from the White House to the Capt.

took place fifty-seven saloons.

consideration of the measure was resum-
ed in the House, and the indications were
that it would be impossible to reach
vote before Monday. Those opposing the
bill, led by Representatives Tribble of
Georgia and Gregg Of Texas, objected
chiefly to the provision for the construc-
ton of two battleships, although much
was said about increases In amounts for
naval pay. fuel. provisions and supplies

planned that a considerable part of the
increase of S23. 466,S $40 over last year S
total was accounted for by a rise in the

newer ships. and by the provision for
two battleships instead Of one, as au-
thorized last year.
An effort to limit general debate on the
bill to four hours was blocked by an OBJ

KNOX ASKED TO SAVE
LIFE OF AN AMERICAN
John Kenneth Turner, a News
paper Man, Held Prisoner
by Huerta and Diaz.

On the strength of representations
made in numerous kilograms received
from the southwest. Senator Ashurst OF
Arizona today made an urgent appeal
to the State Department to intervene
in Mexico to the extent OF making an
effort to prevent the execution of John
Kenneth Turner, an American news
paper man, who has been taken into
custody by the Huerta government on
the charge of stirring up dissension in
the southern republic.
In a telegram to the Secretary Of State
Senator Ashurst says that he under
stands that Turner is charged with being
an active partisan of Madero
Not Offensive Partisan.
This he corrradicts. saying there ex-
lists an abundance of documentary evil
dence which will show conclusively that
Mr.. Turner is in no sense an offensive
partisan of Madero.'
Pleading then for interference in Tur-
ner's behalf. the Arizona senator says:
From information which I have re-
ceived | am of opinion that the execu-
ton of Mr. Turner would be mere
butchery which our government should
prevent at all hazards if possible. l
earnestly implore you to see to 1t that
this citizen of the United States is &C
corded such protection as our government
is able to give. / pray that his life may
be spared
In Hands of Felix Diaz.
Turner has been in Mexico some time,
and previous to the beginning of the
Madero revolution wrote series or
articles rejecting seriously upon adj
,ninistratioIi of affairs by the then
President Porfirio Diaz.
He is now i'm the hands of Gen. Felix
Diaz. "A nephew of the eX-president, and
this fact aggravates the anxiety con-
corning his fate.

of which her late husband Horatio
Page was a deacon. Previous to her
