Senator Sm00t Resumes
His Argument Against
Proposed Tariff Law

Senator Smoot today resumed his ar
gument against the Underwood Sim
mons tariff bill. He discussed first the
agricultural schedule.
THE provisions of the House BILL he
said. Ito admit meat. hides. wool and
so forth free, while imposing a duty on
cattle and certain other live stock, were
SO clearly an attempt to deceive the
farmers that the majority party in the
Senate is to be congratulated for seeking
to make the provisions more consis .ent
In doing this they have, however, added
to the injury already provided for by
the House, and instead of making mea rs
and so forth dutiable the bill now adds
live stock to the free list.
Would Concentrate Control.
with meats free it will help con-
centrate the control of those products in
the hands of what are known as the
beef barons, and will help kill off small
dealers and throttle competition. The

The downfau of the Huerta government

The statement from tho Mexican en-
bassy is as follows:
This embassy has viewed with grave
concern the statements purporting to
have been made In official circles of
the impending overthrow of the Huerta
administration in Mexico. While these
stories proceeded from revolutionary or
other interested sources, II was not deem

their untrustworthiness and stamped

Railroad Is Again Cut.

Mr.. Romero also states today that the
railroad between Tampico and Mexico
City has again been cut by the constitu-
tionalists this time, it is believed, be-
yond hope of repair. The significance of
this from a military point of view is
found in the fact that Mexico City de-
Ponds upon supplies of Oil from Tam

co city have oil-burning engines. and it is

City.
An event is expected to occur in Wash
ington within twenty-fOur hours which
will have the greatest possible effect on
the standing of the constitutionalists.
Just what Ii will be no one seems to
know. not even Mr.. Romero, who says
that he sees no reason for surrounding
anything that the cOnstitutionalsts are
doing with secrecy, and who declares that
he is most willing to give the public any
information I'm his power.
There is. however. an air of expectancy
among the constitutionalists here, which
portends. at least. the possibility. APP
having Gov. Carranza's statement laid
before the State Department
There are no negotiations as to wheth-
er the statement shall be sent to the
State Department" Mr.. Romero said.
I'VE have no standing there. The fact
is that l have scrupulously refrained
from taking any step or placing myself
in any position which could be construed
by any State Department official as hav-
ing for its basis a desire to urge my
representation upon the American gov
eminent.

tionalists. They We're written only at

that such would not be considered an
impertinence, and at the same time ex-
pressly disclaimed any purpose or en-
deavor to induce a correspondence which
might even remotely imply recog-
milton Of the constitutionalist government
by the United States.
Unless the State Department should
hint to Mr.. Romero that it would like to

cult to see what good its arrival In Wash

that he does not intend to place himself
