WILSON YEAR IN CHAIR
HAS APPEARED FIVE TIMES IN
HALLS OF CONGRESS.
Urges Congress to Repeal Clause Ex-
cmpting American coastwise Ship
ping from Paying Canal Tolls.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Wsshington.-The Democratic ad-
ministration was year old March 4.
Just twelve months before. Woodrow
Wilson stood on the east front of the
capitol and took the oath of office,
ushering the Democracy into control
of all branches of the national govern
ment for the first time in twenty
years.
At the White House. In executive
quarters generally, and in congression-
al circles the day served to recall the
work of the fleeting year. Members Of
Congress realized that, except for a
short breathing spell at the Christmas
ly continuous session.
From the time the President broke
century-old precedent and stood be-
fore an assembled Congress to urge
the enactment of a low tariff, close
cooperation has reigned between the
chief executive and the leaders of the
dominant party in Congress. The en-
making vital changes in the duties on
imports. was followed by the signing
of a banking and currency act Dec
%. 1913.
These two laws and the recent rati
fication of the arbitration treaties are
the things which the Presidents
friends were pointing to as the direct
result of the intimate contact estab-
lished between the executive and legis-
lative departments of the government.
Much of the Presidents time and
energy have been spent in wrestling
with troublesome Mexican situation,
as yet unsolved, and the diplomatic
tangle with Japan growing out of the
passage by California of new anti
alien land law. Lately he has been
devoting himself to rehabilitation of
the foreign relations of the United
States-the drafting with Secretary
Bryan of new peace treaties. the set
tlement of the Panama canal tolls con-
ties with Colombia growing out of the
partition OF Panama. and many other
subjects of foreign policy.
Five times the President has ap-
peared before Congress, delivering
messages on the tariff, the currency,
Mexican affairs. the annual report on
the state of the Union, and trust leg
islation." The recommendation of
his annual message for the building
of an Alaskan railway. rural credits
and antitrust reform still are in. the
hands of Congress. with assurance of
the leaders that they will be made
laws before the expected adjournment
in June.
Interest in the Presidents sixth
message was apparent when it became
known he would address Congress in,
advocacy of the repeal of the clause
exempting American coastwise ship
ping from the payment of Panama
canal tolls. The chief executive for
the first time asks Congress, particu-
larly his own party. to reverse itself,
but his argument is that when Con-
gress last passed on the question, m
ternational circumstances, such as
now surround the question, did not
then exist.
Cabinet. officers and their wives en-
tertained the President and Mrs. VIII
son at dinner. Friday evening. which
marked the anniversary of the first
meeting of President Wilson's Cabinet.

John nassett Moore.

In the Presidents hands since Feb 2,
this fact had not been generally
known. There had been reports
months ago that the counselor of the
State Department did not find his la
bors entirely congenial and was about
to resign, but these reports were
promptly denied.
1t was then explained. and again of
ficially explained today that Moore
had come into the administration with
an understanding that his tenure was
provisional for a year, SO that he could
return at the expiration of that period
to his duties as head OF the depart
ment of international law at Columbia
University.

HOWEVER, OVER SCORE
WERE SENT AWAY
They Were Captured in a
Raid on Various National
Offices at Juarez Late Yes
terday-Carranza's Pub
licity Agent Missing

Ell Paso, June l7.-General Villa,
through his agent here, issued to-day
general denial of any split between him
self and Carranza, and said that the ar
rest of Carranza officials at Juarez had
been the result of misinterpretation OF
orders on the part of Colonel Thomas
Ornelas, in charge of the Juarez garri-
son.
II was learned. however, that between
twenty and thirty employees in the
Juarez Offices were sent on special
train this morning to Chihuahua City,
the state capital, thence 10 be trans
ported to Torreon. where Villa remained.
The men were arrested late Yesterday
by Colonel Ornelas in a raid on various
national offices, where Carranza ap-
pointees were employed The where
abouts of H. Perez Abreu is the matter
of most speculation. He was selected by
S. Zubaran, Carranza's agent at Wash
ington, as the publicity agent of the rev.
olution. Constitutionalist agents are
here to-day attempting to find an ex-
PLANTATION from the south of the sudden
turn of affairs at Juarez, but a rigid
censorship on kilograms from Villas
headquarters at Torreon has prevented
from arriving any messages other than
those denying any split on account of
the appointment of Natera as chief of
the new central zone and other incidents.

ORDERED BEER RETURNED.
Judge Scott Decided the Evidence Not
Sufficient.

For three hours this forenoon the state
and counsel for the defense in the city
court ease against Ricardo Rivas
charged with illegal transportation OF
liquor, locked horns in one of the most
litigious binding over proceedings in the
annals of the court. The case against
Rivas grew out of seizure made in
the Syrian colony on Prospect street last
Saturday morning by Chief Sinclair and
Constable George J.. Morris, who took
charge of barrel OF bottled beer which
Rivas is alleged to have been unload
ing. X. A. Hoar apepared to-day for
Rivas and City Grand Juror Wishart
represented the prosecution.
Chief Sinclair, the only witness for the
state, testified to seizing the barrel just
as it was about to be rolled into the
door of Peter Corey's house. His testi-
mony tended to uphold the states con-
tention that the beer was being trans
ported thither for illegal purposes, even
though two wooden slabs, said to have
been taken from the top of the barrel,
and admitted as exhibits in the hearing,
bore the name of A. Camino and not
Cory The defense introduced Riyas,
Corey and Canine, who lives in Granite
vile. Their evidence had tendency to
estab blish the fact that Rivas was en-
gagged to carry away a load of boxes
from the Corey house.
1t was after the direct evidence of
each witness had been introduced that
aspects of the hearing man
ifested themselves Grand Juror Wishart
sought TO establish in fact the conten
tion that Rivas knowingly transported
illegally in a specific instance, while his
clung to the assertion that the
beer and the chance stop at Corey's house
had no connection whatsoever. Frequent
ly the attorneys INDUCED in personali-
ties and near the close of the hearing
the debate waxed warm, indeed. Judge
Scott, declining to hold the respondent
on the evidence offered by the state, re-
leased him from his bonds of $500 and
ordered returned the bottled beer taken
by the officers Saturday.

POTASH IMPoRTATIoNS
Amounted to 6ooooo,ooo Pounds in the
United States in 1913.

The importation of potash salts" for
consumption into the United States dur
ing 1918 amounted to 600,000,000 pounds,
valued at Sl0,S00,000, according to w. C.
Phalen, of the United States Geological
Survey. This importation is only part.
however, of the potash salts entering the
United States, as shown by the figures
of the department of commerce. To il
should be added the importation of kahn.
lite and manure salts including "dou.
BILE manure salts The imports of these
classes of material amount to nearly
100000 tons, valued at 81 4500. 900. max
ing total of more than Sl5.0O0.00O as
the value of imported potash salts of all
classes.
The imports for consumption of ma
terials entering largely into the fertiliz-
er industry plus the value of the domes-
tic phosphate rock reached the total val
uation of $4,000 .469. The statistics in
detail, together with others showing the
condition of the German potash industry
are given in the geological surveys re.
port on potash Just issued as a chapter
of the volume mineral Resources of the
United States for 1913"
The activities of the United States
Geological Survey in the investigation of
potash salts during 1918 were more re-
stricted than in previous years. In the
field drilling was carried on in two areas,
Columbus marsh and Black Rock des-
eTt. Nevada; but it was of short dura.
tion, owing to the inaecessibility of the
area for an unusually long period of the
year on account of heavy rains, which
made it impossible to transport appa-
ratus to the drill sites. A general plan
involving the stratigraphie study of the
so-called "red bed salines of certain
of the southwestern states, including
New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, was
begun by n. H. Darton, and field work
was carried on for several months.
