Of His Amendment. ~

the Chicago Board of Trade and on
cotton, produce and stock exchanges
generally was attacked by Senator
Cummins in the senate as one of the
greatest vices of the day and as
"a menace that threatens industrial
financial strength of the country
Supporting an amendment he had
offered to the tariff bill, proposing a
10 per cent tax on all trades where
the seller did not exactly own the
property sold, Mr.. Cummins, backed
by several other Republican senators,
urged that congress do it's utmost to-
discourage or prohibit fictitious trad

Most Of Sales Fictitious.
"Most OF the sales on the New York
stock exchange are fictitious" he said.

Progress on the tariff bill was linn
tied to the consideration of many
items in the chemical, earthenware
and other schedules of the bill, which
had been passed over in the first
reading of the measure. VIZ
After three hours of sharp debate,
the Democrats of the senate finance
committee decided to submit the most
important amendments to the tariff
bill which have not been acted upon
to the party caucus.

how President Gomez, of Venezuela, re-
tains his job by holding up Cipriano Cas-
tro as a bugaboo from which he alone
can deliver the country.
From what learned in Caracas" he
said, there has been no revolution at all
this year. President Gomez has merely
been playing a game Of military politics,
the object of which is TO hold control Of
the government
Castro has been the invented danger
Of which the natives and the outside
world have been hoodwinked I do not
believe the former president ever came
near Venezuela Many believe that his
so-calIed proclamation was entirely q
fabrication of which Comes was the
author.
But here is the way It worked. As
soon as the proclamation was made
known, Grmez took his army out into
the mountains. Since then a subsidized
press In Venezuela has printed tales Of
imaginary battles. Forty miles from
Caracas, Gomez with his force Of gen.

New York, Dec. 1a-Clarence II.
Mackay, president Of the Postal Tele-

today issued q sweeping condemnation Of
Postmaster General Burieson's plan for
government ownership Of telephones and
telegraphs
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, has likewise took a public stand
against the Postmaster Generals plan
Mr.. Mackay said:
The Postmaster General is mistaken
in his idea that telephone companies are
subject to the post road act Of Congress-
OF 1866. The Supreme Court OF the United
States in the Richmond case Q4 U. s.
TsD held that they are not.
The money question, however. Is the
main question. Nine hundred million dol
lars would not be a look-in. The Bell
Telephone Companies alone would de
mand more than that Then there are
thousands Of Independent telephone COM
panies and farmers lines scattered all
over the country. The entire bill. includ-
ing telegraph lines. would be about s2.ooo.-

AN AMERICAN IS KILLED

Mexico City, Dec. 1s-Pascual Orczco,
former leader of the Maderista revolt In
the north. and lately commander OF a
division Of federal volunteer troops In
chihuahua, notified the war ONCE today
that unless he Is given an allowance or
5000 pesos weekly for himself and his
troops. he and his division will take the
field against Huerta. This lends con-
hrmation to the report from FL Paso that
another revolution is being fomented uu-
der leadership OF Emilio Vasquez Gomez
with the possible support OF Felix Diaz
The Zapatistas continue their guerrilla
warfare In the suburbs, coming and go
ing at viii. There are not enough federal
troopa available to properly guard all of
the suburbs. SO the guerrillas are prac-
tically unchecked.
Traitors Sell Ammunition.
Failure to receive an expected shipment
Of ammunition from Europe on December
! has seriously embarrassed the govern
ment. The supply turned out by the
federal arsenal is inadequate and Of low
grade.
No attention is to be paid to Zapata's
demands for the surrender OF the capital
1t is suspected that Zapata has been OBJ
tanning supplies OF ammunition from
this city and elsewhere.
According to reliable information.
Zapata and other rebel leaders In the
South are acting under instructions from
Nenustiano Carranza, who has ordered
them to menace the capital. Carranza's
agents are helping the Zapatistas by
giving them information regarding the
movements of the federals sent from

Representatives OF citizens associations
may be invited to inspect the car and

The first trip was complete success
The car presented an excellent appear
ance, and was admired by crowds that
saw It.
The new car is Pullman green, and
will seat 100 passengers-hfty on each
floor. II is forty-two feet long and eight
and one-half feet wide. 1t is planned to
get more carrying capacity per unit and
per mile OF track, and is expected to re-

pany cannot, with safety, run cars at
shorter intervals.
In order to reduce its height, the car
was made with 24-inch wheels. It Is OF
the center-entrance design. Steps to the
second floor are situated at each end OF
the car.
