think we shall be compelled to do 1t
now"
Representative Murdoch of Kansas
assailed the state department for its
policy in Mexico, in an interview.
XIII first and inquire afterward,
is the policy of our state department.
II should bring the blush of shame TO
the American cheek" said Murdoch.
The policy is insipidly weak, 1t is
nonsense for the department to talk
of taking steps to ascertain the stu
alton when Americans have already
been brutally murdered If it was Il
European country involved, Mexico
would be forced TO answer in Il day.
Knox Says Situation Is Grave.

prYa Win Tes. Vote.

Jefferson Clty.-The house voted
dry by test OF 10 to 81 on the county
unit bill. The test gives the drys abb
votes are required TO pass any meas
ure, The 10 votes, however. are not
sufficient TO pass an emergency
clause, for which 95 votes are re-
qulred.
The test came up on the FIRST
amendment to the county unit bill,
which provides that all counties in
the state shall vote as a unit on local
option. Under the present law, town
of $500 inhabitants may vote sepa-
rateiy from the remainder OF the
county.
Orr OF Livington led the wet forces
and Hay of Galloway, author of the
bill, the drys. Orr presented an
amendment to the effect that no local
option election could be held in town
OF $500 inhabitants until four years
after a previous election on the same
question.
Hay of Galloway county, the father
of the measure, house bill 10, moved
that the bill be engrossed. Orr caused
the fight to start at the Offset In pre-
senting the amendment providing that
elections cannot be held in a county
containing a city Of $500 until four
years after the election at which the
town voted wet or dry.
Orr declared his position by saying
he would vote to cfface liquor, but
that since It was manufactured and
could not be cradlcated, he favored
strong regulation.
Col Phelps offered an amendment
providing that the bill shall be re.
ferred to the people of the state for
their approval or rejection at the reg.
ular general biennial election to be
held on the FIRST Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1914; and
the secretary OF state 10 directed 30
place same upon the ballot in the
same manner as measures are sub.
mitted to the people by the initiative
or referendum by petition"

Two "Jim Crow Bills.

Jefferson City.-Loud applause came
from the members when two "Jim
Grow" bills were introduced into the
house of representatives. The second
bill offered was more stringent than
one introduced a few minutes before
and 1t gained the greater applause.
The two bills apply to railroads ana
interurban electric lines and provide
for separate coaches for whites and
blacks on trains and separate waiting
rooms in depots. The Jim Crow"
bills probably will be big issue in the
legislature before adjournment is
taken. Leaders in the house and SEN
ate have been trying to suppress such
legislation.
