undertook final consideration Of the
tariff bill. 1t is expected that it will
pass tonight.
TARIFF BILL IN SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Consd-
GRAFTON Of the Underwood Simmons
tariff bill in the committee of the
whole was completed Saturday and
the bill was reported to the senate.
The senate did not adjourn until
shortly after II o'clock.
Senator Simmons gave notice that
he would ask the senate to remain in
continuous session today until disposal
of the bill
Senator Gallinger, Republican lead
er, joined in the hope that the bill
might be voted on finally before ad-
journment today.
The last vote was taken Saturday
night just before adjournment on an
amendment by Senator Poindexter of
Washington for a tariff commission.
1t was defeated, SO to 21.
The senate agreed to a request Of
Senator Kern of Indiana, majority
leader, to meet today at 10 o'clock for
the purpose of expediting the consid-
Grafton of the bill in the senate. 1t
will probably require two or three
days, but it is agreed that vote will
be had on, the final passage of the
measure in the senate not later than
Thursday Of next week and perhaps
earlier.
The closing hours Of the considera-
ton of the bill in the committee of the
whole were marked by haste and con-
cession. Many important issues, like

TRANSPORT BUF0RD SAILS TO

to the United States to any who de-
refugees later reimburse the govern
ment if they are able and at their
convenience. The adoption of this
liberal policy was made necessary by
the likelihood that many Americans
needlessly would linger in the trouble
torn districts unless every facility for
their departure was affected
Some Washington officials COM
mented for the first time on Provis-
ional President Huerta's declaration
that if the American government were
reluctant to give the refugees first
class transportation, he gladly would
do so. These officials, instead of re
senting the offer, regarded it as gen
erous and remarked that they hoped
Senor Huerta's beneficence would be
extended to repay Americans and
other foreigners for the great losses
their investments had sustained
through the chaos resulting from
-Huerta's assumption of governmental
power.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Coinci.
dent with the announcement from
Mexico City that Signor Zamacona,
former ambassador to Washington, is
coming to this country, on a special
mission from the Huerta government,
it is learned here that important
moves are being made in high finan-
cial quarters with respect to the re
storation of the Mexican railroads to
a condition of efficiency and also with
respect to the granting by American
bankers of such monetary aid to Mex
leo as will enable the republic to get
on its feet.
Zamacona is one of the old Cientif-
leo crowd about the elder Diaz He is
financier himself and there is reason
to believe he is coming here with spe-
cial reference to American aid in the
| financial restoration of his country.

GIVES INSIDE KNOWLEDGE

With characteristic bombast and
putting of the chest obscuring the
facts, the "Maier Enterprise" is ont
with an alleged interview with an
auto agent attacking the methods of
the sheriff's Office particularly in re
gard to the so far successful spiriting
away of the automobile of DR.. Stand
lee at Imperial few days ago.
When interviewed this morning,
Undersheriff Applestill laughed about
the brewery organs charges against
his office and gave the following facts
about the case:
when our Office was notified of the
theft of the auto Thursday evening
we Immediately notified by telephone
the officers in the valley towns, block
ing the road to Yuma for the stolen
car at Holtville and CaleXico. D..
Standlee having stated to US that he
had notified San Diego's officers, we
rested our efforts there at notifying
Sheriff Meadows, who. was in San
Diego, of the case.
"Mr. Cummins worked until II
o'clock that evening examining autos
on the streets and in the garages
here and in Ell Centre, and the next
morning having found no trace of the
car in the valley, wired the sheriff
at Yuma.
I'VE had several other cases at the
same time and couldn't put our whole
force on that one case, but kept busy
on it and have not forgotten it, and IN
all probability the car will yet be
found"

MEXICAN ENVOY COMING.
WASHINGTON, Sept 8.-Wash~
ington is awaiting with interest the
arrival of Manuel Zamacona, personal
representative Of President Huerta Of
Mexico. ZamacOna sailed Thursday
from Vera Cruz for the United States
and his arrival promises to mark an
other important development in the
complicated Mexican situation. How
he will be received when he communi-
Gates with the state department de
pends upon the nature Of his errand.
The state department has declined
to sanction the request of Nevada
airship manufacturing company to
send to Mexico a dirigible balloon
which the Huerta government wishes
to purchase.
The administration is not prepared
to talk with Zamacona regarding a
loan, it is understood, unless the Mex.
lean agent announces that Huerta ac-
cepts in toto the four proposals of thc
president conveyed to Mexico by John
Lind.
THE denial by Mr.. Gamboa that he
had given any assurance to Charge
d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy binding
General Huerta not to run for the
presidency was not at all unexpected
in official circles here.

counsel, that it would fight relegation
to third in the list of creditors of the
California Company, instead of being
given preference over all
1t is nov the contention of Valen-
tue & Newly, attorneys for Duncan,
that the bond of the railroad company
is insufficient. Just how seriously the
Southern Pacific counsel regard this
could not be ascertained from them.
But it was learned that one of them
will hurry to San Francisco in the
hope of obtaining writ of suppressed
eas from the supreme court.
Attorneys Valentine & Newly will
not commit themselves as to the pos
sibe success of the Southern Pacific,
but they were emphatic in their de
claration that if the writ is issued the
railroad company will have to increase
its $500 appeal bond to something like
S2.000,000 to block the sale until its
contentious can be dScided by the
higher court.
1t was also learned that agents Of
the New Liverpool Salt Company, the
real preferred creditor under the rul
ing of Judge Bordwell, have been
active in the case in this city within
the past fortnight.
The California Development Com
pany is indebted to the New Liverpool
Salt Company for 100000 for dam
age done to its salt beds by their in
undation by flood waters from the
California Company's irrigation sys-
tenn.
1t was declared by one of the New
Liverpool Company's counsel, who in
clude Attorneys Page, McCutcheon,
Knight G. Olney of San Francisco,
that at the time Judge Bordwelrs de-
cision was handed down, this concern
was willing to bid $500, 0,OOO~for the
assets of the defendant company.
Foreclosure proceedings against the
California Development Company
were instituted by the Title Insurance
and Trust Company on September l3,
1909 The action was brought before
Judge Cole in Imperial county. The
question raised was the priority of
"a, ka Iafa NJ
In April, 1911. the case was trans
ferred to Judge Bordwell's court by
stipulation of counsel. The court ap-
pointed Colonel Holabird receiver
shortly after. and the latter brought
the affairs of the company out Of a
chaotic condition that Threatened ID
overwhelm it, to the entire loss of all
its creditors, to basis affording a
return of $4,000 net monthly, at the
time of Judge Bordwells decision.
The ruling was a victory for the
bondholders and the New Liverpool
Salt Company as against the claims
of the Southern Pacific.
The decision briefly summarized
was:
First-That the California Develop
ment Company property, valued pre-
sently and prospectively at $1,000
900, be sold to the highest bidder, in
adjudication of the foreclosure claims
of the Title Insurance and Trust Com
pany.

SENATE Is GIVING final
CONSIDERATION TO TARIFF

the California wine amendment, to re
store the tax of $1.10 on brandy Or
wine spirits used in the fortifcation
of pure sweet wines, were put over
to the conference.
The last incident of the night ses-
sion was the struggle over an amend
ment offered by Senator Poindexter Of
Washington for a tariff commission.
While most people were thinking
about their dinners the senate was lis
tening to speech by Senator Pen
rose in support of an amendment he
had offered imposing a special duty
on imported goods dumped" on the
United States market from foreign
countries. The senate proceeded to
vote the amendment down by 80 to II.
Following this the income tax fea
ture went through with less opposition
than the Democratic members had
been led to expect. Senator Bristow
gave notice that he would offer his
amendment increasing the rates on the
higher incomes when the bill reaches
the senate from the committee Of the
whole
1t is doubtful if the voting on va
rious tariff amendments will be fin
ished before midnight. During the
discussion in the senate Of accumula-
tions of the wealthy, Senator Clapp
of Minnesota denounced Andrew Car
negie, expressing hope that the day
will come when instead of people wait
ing for crumbs from Carnegie's bali
quet board, there will be one great
banquet at which all may enjoy the
fruits Of their own labor.

Attorney Marion w. Conkling, who
returned this morning from business
trip to Los Angeles, from the Southern
Pacific viewpoint thinks there is small
likelihood of the issuance of a court
order for the sale of California De-
velopment Company property. Mr..
Conkling considers probable the is
suance of a writ of superSedeaS oy
the supreme court, in session at San
Francisco, which would nullify the
demand of Boaz Duncan, and allow
the affairs of the California Develop
ment Company to take their natural
course in satisfying the demands Of
creditors.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. S.-Like a
bolt out of a clear sky came a de-
nouement Saturday in the superior
court in the affairs of the California
Development Company. aimed to sell
the gigantic Imperial valley irrigation
concern at auction.
1t was precipitated by the Smalle $
creditor of the company, Boaz Duncan,
intervenor, to whom as a bondholder
there Is due. under the ruling Of
Judge Dordwell January 4 last, ap-
proximately 100000.
Duncan Saturday filed a peremp-
tory demand for the sale Of the big
property with the clerk of Judge
Conroy's court He proceeded under
common law privilege, but acted
strictly under Judge Bordwel's de-
cision. This granted foreclosure, as
sued for by the Title Insurance Il
Trust Co., and called for the sale for
the benefit of all creditors, with Re
ceiver W. H. Holabird to act as the
courts commissioner.
Attorneys Valentine and Newly
acted for Duncan Saturday. Their
appearance in court was followed b.
that of counsel for Receiver Holabird,
including W B. Mathews, s. B. Rob
inson and S. NJ Salisbury They de
cided the best position for Receiver
HOlabird to assume was that of pre-
paredness
In consequence. Attorney Salisbury
shortly before noon hurried into the
chambers of Acting Presiding Judge
Morrison with a bond for $250,000.
This was accepted by the court as a
guarantee that Receiver Holabird was
ready to act as a sole commissioner.
Attorney Salisbury then hustled into
the county clerks office. just as tn"
doors We're being closed for the day,
and filed the documents of bond and

Fidelity Company is behind Receive or
Holabird as his surety The new sale
bond, the largest of its kind ever filed
with County Clerk Lelande, together
with the bond as receiver, makes a to-

was blocked by the filing of an appeal
by the Southern Pacific from his find
ings to the supreme court. For the
railroad company $500 bond was pat
up. with the announcement by Attor-

"Hoodoo Engine Hit
Car, Says Engineer

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, June 4-En-
gineer Foster Washington, of this city,
who had charge of the first section of
the train that vas wrecked at Stam-
ford. Conn. Thursday afternoon. today
shed important light on the accident.
WorthinGton, who saw the accident,
said:
Il don't lay the blame onto Dough-
ertv engineer, of New Haven. who was
driving the second section. The man
did all that he could, and this talk
about his disregarding signals or driv-
ing his train too fast is all nonsense.
We had arrived in Stamford few min
utes before the accident and had dis
connected. We were backing our en-
gine on a sidetrack. i saw the train
when II was hit.
''when he was more than three train
lengths to the rear Of the wrecked par
lor car 'Skylight,' Engineer Dougherty
blew his whistle. Fully minute elapsed
before he struck the parlor car after
the blowing of the whistle. Had he
been going at any such speed as some
say, his train would have gone way
past the station In that minute. What ]
think Is this: The man didn't have any
brakes. He applied them on time. but
they failed to work. Within a week In
South Norwolk the same engine was In
slight wreck. On that occasion there
was an old and experienced engineer
driving, and the brakes failed to work.
The engine has earned its title to the
name 'hoodoo' engine"
