Consr-.s .. Growing RestIv-.

Congress for days has been growing de-
cidediy restive under the lack of i'm
provement in the Mexican situation. The
effect OF the two Carranza notes Is not
hard to foretell Just how marked Til:
be the manifestation Of that effect II, of
course, problematical. Members who
have sat on the lid conscientiously with a
view to preventing drastic action are
about tired out.
II rs no secret I'm official circles that the
Benton incident has shaken the faith of
the administration In Gen. Villa-not only
the fact that he disregarded his interna-
tional obligations and our interests by
killing Benton, but the fact that he has
wasted ten days in lying and delays with
a view TO destroying whatever evidence
against him the body may be.
The faith OF the administration in
Carranza had net been strengthened by
the latter's course in the Benton affair
up. to Saturday. Since then have come
the two notes, both of which are decided
ly unfriendly, and the net result Of which
Is to line Carranza up with Villa in an
effort to protect the latter from conyic-
ton as a murder This development
Is not likely to strengthen the Presi-
dents faith In the moral integrity OF

taken as an indication that Carranza ad-
mits the superior strength of Villa by
lending him the support of his official
actions.

Regard viewing Body n. Form.

The British Embassy is not interested
particularly in further efforts to view
the body Of Benton. it is believed. Of
ncials here are known to be convinced
that Benton was murdered. and regard
the viewing of the body rather as a
form to be demanded than as a neces-
sary means OF settling a disputed ques-
tiCn. For this reason. and as a courtesy
TO Secretary Bryan. the British govern
ment consented TO send two men with
the American commission TO view the
body Of Benton.
Constitutionalist leaders last night de-
MED that Carranza's note was to be con-
strued as a defiance Of the United States
or OF Great Britain, and insisted that
the attitude taken was necessary for the
preservation Of the dignity Of his posi-
ton before the Mexican people. Car

ment deal with him through them and
not through the United States. Carranza

said last night. of seeking to avoid his
international obligations.

SUFFRAGETTES
ATTACK LABOR
PARTY SPEAKER
AND MAKE RIOT

London, March 4.-Militant Suffrag
ettcs tonight gave further proof that
their bitterest animosity is reserved
for the Labor party, the only political
partv which has espoused their cause.
AS soon as j. Ramsay Mcdonald,
chairman of the Labor party, began
speaking at a Labor party rally in
Memorial hall, Suffra gettes in all parts
of the chamber. aided by number
of male supporters, started to howl
him down. Women ushers had been en-
gagged to deal with women interrupters
of the meeting and males to subdue
men, but as ''bouncers" for their own
sex the women proved failures, and
the men had to take over their duties.
Fer nearly an hour a fierce struggle
ragged iii the hall. There were frequent
free fights between men while women
grabbed one another by the hair and
scratched faces and tore clothing. Win
dows were smashed and chairs broken
during the disorder.
Eventually the police We're summon
ed tc restore order and Mr.. MacDon-
aid got a chance to finish his speech.

clared, We're the worst enemy to the
women's cause.

joint SESSION THURSDAY TO
HEAR WILSON TOLLS ADDRESS
Urges Repeal of Provision Exempting American Ships
Opposition from Prominent Democrats Because
Of the Platform Promise

Washington, March 4.-Resolutions
were adopted by both houses of Con-
gress today, providing for joint ses-
sion tomorrow afternoon at 1870
o'clock to hear an address by Presi-
dent Wilson urging repeal of the pro-
vision of the Panama canal act ex-
empting American coastwise shipping
from tolls.
President Wilson's determination to
urge this reversal of policy with re-
gard to tolls by a personal appeal to
the Congress stimulated interest in the
controversy today, Democrats who in
tend to fight against repeal planning to
carry on their struggle with all possi-
BILE yigor. For several days, however,
it has been apparent that the Presi-
dent has been gaining converts to his
decision that toll exemption is in vio-
lation of the -Pauncefote treaty.
After the President has read his
message, it will be referred TO the
House committee on interstate COM
merce, which will draft legislation to
carry out his recommendations. 1t is

REVISION OF BILL FOR TRADE
COMMISSION is COMPLETED
Conclusion in Conference with President and Measure
Will Be Taken Up for Report Next
Week in the House

Washington. March 4-Revision of the
interstate trade commission bill as pre-
pared by the House interstate commerce
committee was virtually concluded today
after a conference with President Wilson
on the subject attended by Rep. Coving-
ton. chairman. and other members of the
subcommittee. The bill will be taken up
by the full committee Immediately and
reported to the House next week.
The Senate committee on interstate
commerce also is working on the trade
commission plan, but probably will not
report a bill until after the House has
acted upon the Covington measure. The
House bill contemplates a trade commits
sion to consist of three instead of five
members as originally prepared, and the
commission would have power to investl-
gate corporations as an aid to the attor-
ney general and the courts TO guard
against undue publicity of the affairs OF
corporations, complained of as threaten
ed by the terms of the original bill, the
revised draft would provide that the COM
mission should report to the President as
covery of information concerning untair
practices of corporations not necessarily
in violation of law. 1t would be left to
tho discretion of the President whether
the results of such an inquiry should be
made public.

BEFORESENATE

Washington, March 4.-The cause of
woman suffrage was championed in
the Senate today by Senators Thomp-
son, Owen, Chamberlain and Sherman,
who spoke in support of the proposed
constitutional amendment to give the
women the vote in all states.
AS author of the proposed amend
ment Senator Chamberlain told of the
influence of women who have the bal
lot. In response to question by Sem
ator Reed, the Oregon senator agreed
that the recent reforms in his state
were inaugurated before the women
We're given right to vote.
The attitude of some Southern sem
ators was indicated during the discus
sion when Senator Vardaman said
'.The Negro question may compel me
to vote against this amendment"
Senator Thompson told his colleagues
that none of the objections raised
against woman suffrage ever material
lied in Kansas. Only few of the
women sought official positions" he
said, "but when they did secure them
instead of making failure as was pre-
dicted, they almost invariably made
the best officers we had in the state"
