BUILD BRIDGE AT
WISHKAH STREET
City Council Calls Election
to Vote Bonds for
Bascular Bridge
CALLED TO VOTE MAY 13
Chicken Coops Unhealthy,
Says McCaw- Concrete
or Asphalt Paving

The most important feature of the
session of the city council Wednes-
day night was the passage of an or
dinance calling special election to
vote bonds in the sum of $95 1000 for
the construction of a bascular type
bridge across the Wishkah river, at
Wishkah street.
The election will be held on Tues.
day. May 13, and is the natural out
come of the improvement of the East
Aberdeen streets. 1t is recognized
that the Heron street bridge is in
such condition as to give out at an!
time, and that the traffic over the
river has assumed proportions toe
large to justify risking its obstruc-
ton. With the paving of East Wish
kah street and bridge on this street
Aberdeen will have creditable en-
trance from the east.
Councilman McCaw directed atten
ton to the unsanitary conditions ex-
listing at some cottages that were
crowded four and five on a lot, and
to the unhealthfulness of chicken
coops in close proximity The matter
was referred to the health committee.
Regarding the paving of West Sec
ond street, the relative cost of con-
crete and asphalt was discussed, with
the result that a resolution was or.
dered that would permit bids on both
kinds of pavement, with the under
standing that property owners would
have the ultimate say as to which they
desired.
The inability of the property own
ers on West Market street to agree
on the paving desired, caused the post
ponement of this matter to June 4.
Chas. Stewart, former member OF
the fire department was allowed $40
for injuries received in the service
A request of the National Quitting
Co. to be permitted to do transient
business in the city on a promise
to donate ten per cent to the eastern
flood suffers was denied.
A complaint of c. w. Huotari
against the misuse of streets was re.
fered.
The street committee was empower
ed to act in the case of Mrs. ]. M.
Walker.
The attention of the license CON-
mittee was directed to the peddling
of sewing machines without license.
The new fire engine will be tested
this afternoon, at one o'clock at the
City Dock.

Will Recognize Organization
The democratic state chairman re.
turned from his extended Eastern
trip yesterday and was Joined by Mrs.
Todd, who has been visiting with her
parents in Whitman county. They
leave for Seattle tomorrow night.
"The policy of President Wilson
is to recognize the organization,
said Todd. "He wants to build up
the party. We want to elect con
gressman and senator in the 1914
campaign and the best way to do it
is to strengthen the organization. We
are going to recommend none but
good men,"
Asked as to what position he
would secure for himself, Todd turn.
ed the subject by remarking: II am
more interested in seeing that we
get good men, that progressive demo
Gratis are put into Office. than in
hunting out anything for myself"
Civil Service Embarrassing
Speaking of fourth class postoffices,
Mr.. Todd said that the order of Pres.
ident Taft placing those Offices under
civil service rules was embarrassing
the postmaster general. Not so far
as regarded the placing of democrats
in those places, but from the fact
that so many thousands Of small Of.
fees with salaries too insignificant
to be attractive, are difficult to fill.
Many of the present incumbents are

Ali Raw Wool Will be Placed on Free List
at BeheSt of President
Wilson
FREE SUGAR PRACTICALLY AGREED UPON
President and Leaders in Congress Hold a Get
Together Session and Agree on LegiS-
IdtiOn of Special Session

WASHINGTON, d. c., April g.
has been agreed upon between Presi-
dent Wilson and members of the
house committee on ways and means
as the result of conferences that end
ed today. The present plan, whicn
will have the unanimous Endorsement
of the democratic members of tho
committee provides that wool shall
be placed on the free list, an end
for which free wool democrats of the
house have fought for two years.
The concession to President Wilson
and the free wool advocates takes
the place of the Is per cent duty
which the committee had agreed up
on. This, in turn, was a reduction
from the 20 per cent duty of the dem.
0cratic woolen revision bill which
passed the house last summer, but
failed to become a law The free
wool agreement, it is claimed by
democrats tonight, is expected to
bring Secretary of State Bryan into
full accord with the tariff revision
program.
Attitude Of Senate in Doubt.
The free wool members have ex.
pressed their attitude before Presi.
dent Wilson in conferences in which
Representatives Harrison of New
York and Rainey of Illinois, both
members of the ways and means
committee, have been the leading
figures. Representative Harrison,
backed by Mr.. Bryan, made an ar
dent fight in the last congress to Sc
cure endorsement of the free wool
policy. The understanding arrived at
today is that the ways and means
committee will present it's bill with
the free wool provision incorporated
and with a unanimous report from
its democratic members, and that
the President will make known his
thorough accord with it.
The reception that may be given
the free wool plan by the senate lead
ers is matter of conjecture Presi.
dent Wilson is to meet Senator Sim.
mons, chairman of the finance com.
mittee, and Senators Hoke Smith and
Stone tomorrow night, and it is ex.

unwilling, or unable to take the re-
quired examination, and hundreds
have sent in their designations in
consequence. To fill them, under the
Taft order, requires selection from
the eligible list where no such list
exists-hence the quandry. Taken
all in all, the civil service order plac-
ing those offices in the civil service
category was one of the many mis-.
takes Of the Taft administration.

Vera Cruz, Nov., 15.-Reports re- ceived here to the effect that it is being stated in the United States that conditions in Mexico are inn proving are foolish in view of the fact that things are growing steadily worse. This city is center of ex- citement tonight and everybody here fully expects that something in the nature of crisis must result during the night or tomorrow.
 It is reported here on what is said to be unquestionable authority, that O'Shaughnessy will leave Mexico City before Monday night with his passport.
 There is much mystery concern ing reservations on board the Fuerst Bismark, which sails from here to- morrow. There are some who main tain that the reservations have been made for Huerta and his party, but this, of course, is only matter of speculation.
 A tremendous force pf Americans, seck,t service men are here and every train and steamer is kept under sur veillance.
 Every train that has reached Vera Cruz during the day has brought foreigners by the score. The city ia full of refugees from all parts of the country where railroad commu- nication is uninterrupted. All the hotels are full to overflowing and the streets are crowded with persons who have been unable to secure ac- comodation.

Naples, Nov. 14.-tlueen Helena, who is one of the most graceful danc CTS in her land, is learning the tango Tn a modified form. The Queen was famous for her grace when dancing in her native Montenegro, and she has now succumbed to the lure of the lat est terpsichorean art novelty. It is said the King, Victor lmmanuel, hear ing that certain younger members of the Italian royalty were indulging in the tango, decided to judge the merits Of the dance in person. Accordingly two experts were commanded to ap- pear at he castle at San RossorE. The dance was approved and the Queen decided that if any of the Royal family was to enjoy it there was no good req son why she herself should not test it's charms.

ed for them at their request. Was there anyone else on that committee voting by proxy who was even a member of the committee. Let the Graphic come out with the truth. Tell us about Brewster also. The Salary question was put on the ticket to be voted on like the bridge issue. That was all right and just, because a few office holders were getting all the milk and honey.
 At the meeting of the Democratic Central Committee of November 2, 1912, of eleven GID proxies held and voted, Mir. Brewster voted seven CD proxies. Was that all right, Graphic {? Brewster voted for c. M. Acklin, Ben Franklin, c. A. Sadler, s. T. Wair, w. T. Woodbridge, j.. T. Crawford. And at the meeting of the Democratic Central Committee on Septermer 26, 1913, Mr. Brewster voted two proxies. Sitting on his race il his own case and voting proxies. How could he do that? Wonder why the Graphic didn't object to this awful custom of voting proxies then. But there was mo bridge issue to be placed before the peope then, and put on the ticket 50 they could express themselves once openly and above board and have the result counted. There was only a sheriff to be elected and Mir. Brew ster had to have proxies to get things through all right as per schedule.

It Will Be Several P ys Before Both Sides Can confer' hen Lengthy
 Debate Coml lences.

Washington, Nov. 35.-The vote of Senator McClerod of Connecticut, un- expectedly committe4 the Republican faction of the Sena& Committee on Banking and Currency today to a plan for the guarahtee of national bank deposits.
 By vote of tok2, the plans ad- justed by Senator Miscol of Kansas was adopted. This p4ovides that after the expenses ana taxes of the regional reserve baaks rave been met, five per cent diWccnd to stock holders be sent aside, and surplus accumulated up to ftwenty per cent of the capitol stock of the reserve bank, the remaineds of all net earn ings shall be distributed in tl5isj way:
 Three-fourths to sthe refundng of two per cent bonds now used as secu- rity for national bank circulation, and one-quarter for the creation of an insurance fund from which to indemnify depositors in insolvent national banks.
 Senator Weeks of Massachusetts. was vigorously opposed to the pro- vision, believing that it smacked to much of bad banking and was or5ec- ,tionable from every point of view. Senator Nelson ,dQnbts it's feasibility These two members vii submit minority report on the proposed guaranty and oppose it in the Senate. This proposition was adjusNedt VI the Democratic faction, but no con- sidered. It will be brought forward in the regular session at which time it is the Democratic program to re- wise all the nationa bank laws.
 Submit Reports.
 At the meeting of .the full com mittee today the Democrats submit ter the results of their labors to their Republican colleagues. As the matter stood it will be several days before they could conclude their de- Alterations and the committee ad- journed until Tuesday.
 Among minor points determined by the Democrats at the last moment was a strengthening of the provision giving the Federal OBard absolute power in fixing the rate of discount and fixing the minimum capital stock of any regional bank at $3,000,- 900 instead of $5,00O,oO as proposed in the House bill.
 The Republicans vii continue from day to day in hope of being able to confer finally with their Democratic associates next Tuesday. Each day the final reporting of the bill is pro posed and tonight it looked to be impossible to get it into the Senate before week from next Monday. Debate in the Senate will begin at once.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS BECOMING BETTER President Wilson Takes Such a View of the
 Situation.
so HE GOES GOLFING
Last UItimatum Sent to Huerta May Result in Embassy Being Closed
 In Capital.

Washington, Nov. 15.-President Wilson was so certain today that af- fairs in Mexico were adjusting them selves in accordance with American views, that he laid aside the duties of his office, declining to wait for dispatches from Charge d'Affairs O'Shaughnessy and special Envoy Lind from Mexico City, and went to the golf links in the rain.
 Secretary Bryan refused to give the reason for the White House ulti- matum, although admitting that dis patches had been received from Lind and O'Shaughnessy.
 "I cannot make predictions" said the Secretary, 'where so many per- sons are involved in international questions, and matter such as in the case with Mexico, it is not safe to make predictions. For this reason my caution has reached the maxi num-
 MT. Bryan did admit that the Gov ernment is now awaiting a reply to another note sent to Huerta today through the Embassy at Mexico City. Should the reply be unfavorable the Embassay will be closed and MT. O'Shaughnessy will leave for Vera Cruz. { l.
 The afministratipns has been. great ly encouraged by the assurance of the European powers that they will support the American policy in Mexico. Japan, too, has signified that it will support the American policy. Assurance to this effect were received today direct from Tokio.
 Huerta Nears End.
 The general impression in all de- partments of the Government today was that Huerta was near the end of his resources and that he will soon sec the futility of further resis- taace, in view of the opposing de- velopments in his own cabinet, the alignment of the European powers on the side of the United States ani the tremendous successes of Carranza in the north cumulating in the capture of Juarenz today.
 It is the belief of the officials of the State Department that the recent successes of the rebels in Mexico wil have a powerful effect on Huerta and his supporters and may hasten Huerta's resignation.
 The capture today by the rebels of Juarez is the most disastrous blow yet given to Huerta's govern ment. Juarez is the most important town along the Texas border and continued control of it may lead to the recognition of General Carranza as a billigerant which would en- title him to a free supply of arms without an official raising of the Ienbargo against the shipment of arms and ammunition into Mexico.
 From Juarez, the Constitutional- ists backed by base of supplies can strike into the interior of important Mexican northern states. It is under stood that their next objective point is Chihuahua, where there is a small federal force.

SEEKS PROPAGATION
New Congress Not Fully Organized Yesterday, But Will Be It Is
 Thought At Early Date.

MCAlCO OACJ ANOVs ANOs 0Ildll not quit, declared President Huerta tonight. ''I shall continue just as I have been doing to put forth my best efforts to bring about the qualification of the country and thus fulfill the promise I made when I took office The new congress was not fully organized today as had been planned by Huerta. The lower house met and effected temporary organization, but the upper house failed to organize be cause of the lack of quorum, due to the absence of the Catholic senators who are said to have remained away by agreement among themselves. Despite the failure to fully organize the new congress, Huerta andChis sup porters appear to be confident to their abilit to carry out their plans. They expect the Catholic senators to come into line by Monday so as to enable | the upper house to organize for business in preparation for the for l nal opening on Wednesday,.
 When it was suggested today to President Huerta that conditions throughout the nation might develop in such way as to endanger Ameri- cans and other foreigners, he admit ted that. it might be so and sad:
 Endangers Foreigners
 Es-sIf the foreigners are endangered I shall do everything possible to protect them. Of course, the rabble might rise, but would not hesitate to apply severe methods to restore order. In an event am determined to continue the attempt to carry ou my program of pacification.'
 The makeup of the new chamber is rather unusual. Practically all of the members are closely allied in various Capacities with the Huerta admins tration. Several we'll known detec- tives have been elected as deputies. Likewise all of the members of the Presidents staff, even to his private secretary. Secretaries of members of the cabinet have also been elected Today's meeting of the lower house was not attended with any of the dis order that had been anticipated. For
 me past two days rumors have been clrculated industriously that general pprising of the lower classes had bees planned to take place today coincident with the meeting of the congress,
 There was no sign of an uprising

 'lay of military force either within pr outside of the chamber
 The only apparent evidence of an-
 lety on the part of the administra-
 lon was the presence of large num-
