Favors Summer Homesteads

Washington, May 8.-A bill propos-
ing to allow all heads of families to
acquire title to a 10-acre "homested"
has been introduced by Representa-
tive Baker. Should the measure pass,
the head of family would have the
right to enter ten acres of unacquired
public lands within or outside the
forest reserves, as a sumner home

three years, and must show that en-.
tryman has made permanent improve
ments to the value of not less than
5000, and has resided upon the land
not less than two months of each
summer.
Entryman must also pay IS per acre

provide permanent summer homes in

Predict Enormous Wheat Crop

Washington, May 1.-THE greatest
crop of winter wheat ever grown, one.
fifth again as large as the record
crop grown last year and more than
half again as large as that harvested
in 1912 is indicated by statistics an
nounced by the department Of agricul-
ture today.
In all 630,0O0,000 bushels will be
produced if the highly favorable con-
ditions existing since the crop was
planted last fall, continue until har.
vest time. The acreage abandoned
through unfavorable conditions of the
winter amounted to only 81 per cent
of the area planted, an unusually low
area. This makes the area remaining
to be harvested a record one of 35,.
$4,000 acres.
Indications are that Kansas will
have a crop of 132,0O0,00O bushels or
45,500,000 bushels more than last year
and Oklahoma 35,50O,000 or 1900,
900 bushels more than last year.

War is Expensive

Washington. May 1.-THE first big
memorandum of expense on account
of the Mexican crisis sent to congress
was submitted Saturday when the
house received estimates aggregating
$2,701,S27 for pay, subsistence, sup
plies, horses, barracks, transportation
and engineering work for the troops
now at Vera Cruz and on the Mexican
border. The memorandum briefly
says that necessity for these defici-
ency estimates could not have been
foreseen when previous estimates were
submitted"
There is no reference to army
plans. Congress was asked to make
the appropriation at once. The great
est item is $1,4S3,O74 for the trans
portation of the army. which is addi-
tional to $4,000 estimated on March
II. This amount, the war department
says, is required to cover the expense
of moving troops or keeping certain
transports in commission, chartering
of vessels, purchase of coal and water
and of stevedoring in connection with
chartered vessels and the purchase
of additional draft and pack animals
required for proper equipment OF
troops in the field.

WHITE HOUSE WEDDING
Presidents Youngest Daughter Mar.

~" ~ NSCTStaty "CSNoOO
washington, May THE cares of
state ard the rI,nors of war were re-.
tired to tho background at the White
house today when Cupid and Hymen
took charge of sffairs in preparation
for the marriage of Miss Eleanor RAN
dolph Wilson, youngest daughter of
the president, to William G. McAdoo,
secretary of the treasury. Though
the wedding was private the White
house hustled throughout the day
with preparations for the event. Pres
ident Wilson cancelled all appoint
ments and did not visit the executive
Offices.
1t was simple ceremony-brief,
bat solemn--the radiant faces of the
bride ard groom rejecting the happi.
ness OF the hour. For the president
and Mrs. Wilson it was a touching
moment as thev gave away a daughter
for the second time within a year.
Around them stood their relatives
and friends-a small group-for 1t
was family affair, the same kind of
home wedding one would see in any
American household, although the
historic interior of the White house
with its masses of lilies and ferns,
the uniformed aides, and the presence
OF members of the cabinet and the
vice president preserved for the func.
ton an official aspect.

has been decided upon by the admins
tration and members of both the
house and the senate.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lane had a conference yesterday.
with Senator Walsh of Montana and
other members of congress interested
in the development Of the west. The
president indicated plainly that it was
his desire that certain measures, draft
ed should be passed as promptly as
possible by both the house and SEN
ate.
The measures included in the pro-
gram outlined are the bills providing
for the leasing to private persons with
specific restrictions, coal. oil ami
phosphate lands in the United States
proper; the water power bill; extend
ing the time now given to water users
on irrigation projects to pay for their
lands; and the bill to conserve to the

To Open 1lackfeet Reserve

Washington, May 7.-Senator T. ].
Walsh has introduced bill amending
the act providing for the opening of
the Blackfeet Indian reservation by
providing that only unallotted lands
of that reservation lying east of the
line between ranges Z and west shall
be available for settlement.
The bill further provides that en-
trymen on any of this land which is
brought under irrigation shall pay in
20 annual installments the full cost
of bringing the water to their land,
the funds derived in this manner to
be expended in purchasing livestock
for the Indians. The bill also pro-
vides that no liquor shall be sold on
any lands opened to white settlement.
Senator Walsh undertook to have this
legislation incorporated in the Indian
appropriation bill, but it was subject
to a point of order, and special legis.
lation is necessary.

To Violate Armistice
Washington. May S.-The Mexican
situation assumed a more war-like as
pect today. Activities in the war de-
partment which began last night on
the receipt of long confidential ad.
vices from General Funston were re.
rewed through the morning and were
brought to the attention of President
Wilson and the cabinet when the reg.
ular sessi.n began.
While this activity disclosed that
every preparation was being made for
possible eventualities, yet Secretary
of War Garrison said just before en-.
tering the cabinet meeting that mo
additional troop movements have been
or.!ered."

that the United States had broken the

at Vera Cruz. was considered by the

convinced that the United States had
not violated. in spirit, at least, the
ar nlistice which had Teen agreed up.
