PIE IS HELD BACK
BY c. 0. P
SENATE REPUBLICANS HINT AT
OPPOSITION TO WILSON'S
APPOINTMENTS.

Washington, March 11.-A hint of
opposition to President Wilson's APP
pointments came in an executive seS-
sion of the senate today, when repub-
lican senators insisted that appoint
ments be acted upon by the senate
committee before being taken up for
confirmation. AS a result, no appoint
ments were confirmed, although those
of Daniel c. Roper, Alexander N.
Dockery and James I. Rlakeslee, APP
pointed, respectively, as first, third
eral, were ready for action.
The appointments made by President
Wilson were referred to committee yes
terday. When the senate went into
executive session today, Senator
Bankhead Offered the Dockery APP
pointment for confirmation, Senator
Senator Penrose the Blakeslee ap-
pointment, and Senator Smith of
South Carolina, the Roper appoint
ment.
Senator Townsend of Michigan
asked whether the full committee on
p~ostoffices had acted on the appoint
ments. Democratic leaders answered
that the usual custom was being fol-
lowed, of reporting the appointments
after the lapse of one day, but without
the formality of a committee meeting.
AS the result of Senator Townsend's
objection, the names were withdrawn
at once n arrangements made for a
committee meeting.
Republican senators said tonight
there was no purpose on their part to
conduct n general opposition te the
Wilson appointments such as the
democrats had displayed against the
Taft appointments last session. To
days developments, however, gave
concern to the democrats. Senator
Kern, the democratic leader, announced
that the steering committee eX-
pected to complete it's work or the
new senate committees so hat they
might be presented in full on Thurs
day. The senate was in session but
half an hour and adjourned unul
Thursday at 2 o'clock.
1t is expected that officers will be
elected then and committees named
and that the senate will be prepared
to bring the special session to an end.
The democratic committee of nine
worked throughout the day in an at
tempt to complete the committee as
signments, but many obstacles were
encountered, particularly in the or
ganiZation of the new committee on
banking and currency which is to take
from the finance committee the prob
lens of currency reform.
The hard fight hat is being made
by Senator Tillman for the chairman
ship Of the appropriations committee
also has been an important factor in
delaying the completion of the steer
ing committees work.
Persistent efforts have been made to
induce Senator Tillman to give up his
claim to this post. 1t vas declared
tonight that no definite conclusion had
Deer reached as to whether or not he
should have the craftsmanship.

LAND BILL
IS PASSED
WASHINGTON SENATE ADOPTS
AMENDED MEASURE LETTING
ALIENS OWN LAND.

Olympia, Was.. March 1.-THE
Hughes alien lane bill, submitting a
constitutional amendment to the vot-
ers at the 1914 general elections to
permit aliens to own land, was amend
ed and passed by the senate on re-
consideration today. The bill, which
previously had passed the house, was
killed by the senate because of a pro-
test made by Secretary of State Knox
that a provision barring Chinese and
Japanese from land ownership would
be likely to involve the United states
in difficulty with those nations. To-
day the objectional feature vas elimi-
mated and the word RESIDENT inserted
so, as the bill now stands, all aliens
residing in this state will be permitted
to acquire real estate if the proposed
amendment is adopted. Because of
the changes made by the senat the
bill must go back to the house.
The bill appropriating 100000 to
rebuild the burned normal school at
Cheney, near Spokane, became a law
today when the house and the senate
passed it owe Governor Listers veto.
This was the first bill vetoed by Gov
ernor Lister and was the beginning
of his fight with the legislature for
economy, the governor maintaining
hat it was wasteful to rebuild the
Cheney school when a saving in main
tenance COuld be made by combining
the normal work with the EllenSburg
schools on the east side of the Cascade
mountains and at B~ellingham on the
west side.

Aimed at No One.
AT the White House it was dis
claimed that the statement was aimed
at any particular country. 1t was de-
clared that it would be sent to the dip
lomatic representatives of the United
States in all Central and South Ameri-
can countries alike
While most Of the countries in the
western hemisphere are enjoying do
nestle, as we'll as international peace,
state department officials have exer-
cised a close watch on events in Mex
leo. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras,
a Domingo, Cuba and Salvador.
While the Mexican situation was be-
coming more and more acute in the
closing days of the last administration,
reports were received at the depart
ment from it's various agencies in
Central America that gave much con-
Germ to the officials, indicating, as they
did, the existence of a general spirit
of unrest, and of embryonic revolu-
tionary activity in many quarters.
In Salvador, where a long period of
peace had prevailed, the assassination
of President Aurajo by a band of con-
spirators, believed to have beer the
preliminary movement in a revolution,
startled the whole of Central America.
Charges were made that his revolu-
ton had been fomented from Guate-
mala. In his country also there were
hints of trouble. Then came reports
from New Orleans that a combination
was being effected between the
Zelayistas and discontinued elements
in Honduras. looking to double revolu-
tions, first in Honduras and later in
Nicaragua. Costa Rica appeared to be
the only peaceful spot on the Central
American map.
The general tenor of the official re-
ports was to the effect that the
threatened disorders had no foundation
in abuses of w on the part of the
existing governments of the republics,
but were based almost entirely upon
the personal ambitions of various
would-be leaders and soldiers of for
tune, who designed to o%Verturn the es-
tablished governments and maintain
themselves in power by force of arms
and without reference to the will of
the majority of the people.
Conditions became so acute just be
fore the close of the Taft administra-
ton as to cause he dispatch of
cruisers down the west coast as far as
