Vigorous criticism of the ad-
ministration' Mexican policy and
heated debate over the Vera Cruz
situation marked the effort of SEN
ator Lippitt today to secure action
on the resolution asking the Presi-
dent IL he were supporting Pancho
Villa for the next ruler of Mexico
Chairman Stone of the foreign rela-
tions committee defended the admin
intratiou. The resolution was laid
on the table without record OF vote
Lippit said that all nations will
know that the repeal of the Panama
tolls exemption vii be done for the
purpose of purchasing immunity
for continuation of the watchful
waiting policy of Mexico.
He characterized the Presidents
message for the repeal as nothing
short of an insult to the members OF
congress who voted for the present
law"
Lippit declared that the Presi-
dents statements in his message
about observing strict neutrality be-
tween Mexican factions were much in
contradiction 10 those expressions.
Lippitt spoae OF the Vera Cruz Incl
dent and the loss of Mexican lives
as showing the length to which the
administration had gone to keep mu-
nitions of war from getting to
Huerta. When taken to task by
Senator Stone Lippit said Stone was
placing his words in "A false light.
Stone he said he knew what Lip
pitt means, ito charge the President
with the death of 200 innocent Mex
leans in Vera Cruz. Stone con-
tinued:
The Rhode Island senator seems
to regard the Mexican shippers who
were firing at our boys in violation
OF all rules OF warfare as innocent
Mexicans. Why. this country ap-
proves of what the President did at
Vera Cruz with the possible excep-
tion of the senator from Rhode
Island.
Stone declared that II Villa and
Carranza wished to wage war on
Huerta, he did not think It the in
tention of the administration, of con-
gress or. with few exceptions, the
people of the United States, to force
war upon them.

S0LDBYLOCAL DEALERS THIS YEAR

n EFORE the 1914 automobile
X season is closed Grand Junction
- automobile dealers will have
completed selling cars, valued at
close to $1S5,000. This ought to
Put an end to all hard times talk.
and prove. that the Grand valley is
entering a period of prosperity such
as II has never had before.
The five local dealers are unani-
nous in stating that the future is as
sured as they have sold larger
number of cars this year than they
ever did before. According to con-
servative estimates compiled the bus
mess to date has run above 100000,
the exact figures being Sl0I 500.
This Is what has actually been ac-
complished: About eighty-five cars
have been sold to Grand valley people
this year.
According TO estimates from each
dealer as to the number OF cars con-
tracted for. the total business for the
year will run close TO SlS5. 900. Each
one is making greater preparation for
a larger business next year than he
has ever before.
A large number of prospects who
have held off until they knew wheth-
er or not there was to be freeze,
are flocking in and purchasing in the
last few weeks. The general opin
ion is that better times are coming
than were ever experienced previous
to this year. AS an example of this,
NJ. c. Ramsey has disposed OF six
Studebalers in as many days.
James Hards is driving around a
new Studebaler today, having pur-
chased it yesterday from NJ. c. Ram

BECKER TRIAL OPENS; To.
PRESS GRAFT CHARGES
FERRY PLAN DROPPED; BOARD
NOW FAv0RS GATEWAY BRIDGE

FOLLOWING a conference with q
dozen Gateway and Grand coun-
ty Utah, ranchman this morning
the county commissioners expressed
their Willingness TO put in bridge at
Gateway as soon as the funds for that
purpose are available.
Surveys OF the road and bridge
fund yesterday elected the informa-
tion that after the three main prof.
ects in the county had been carried
out little money would be left to
maintain the roads of the rest of the
county for this year.
However, there was "a decided dis
position on the part OF the commits
sioners TO favor an appropriation this
fall to construct the bridge early in
1915. The board presumed up until
yesterday that the proposal to put in
ferry across the Dolores at Gate
way had settled that problem. The
ranchmen who met them last eve
ming and this morning expressed the
opinion that the ferry would be
worthless a great portion of the
time.
Sensible talks by j. j. Lumsden,
j. S. Shaw and Messrs Brown and
Patterson convinced the board that II
tremendous commercial business
would come to Mesa county by bridg-
ing the Dolores. The La Sal, Rock
creek and upper Grand county bust
ness would come this way. the Lums-
den and Shaw group of uranium
mines would be developed and more
than all else a direct route would be
opened to the wonderful Paradox
valley.
The matter will be definitely acted
upon as soon as the commissioners
return from the Montrose excursion.

mediate and thus far the United
