WILSON SCORES A
. PERSONAL TRIUMPH
cLOTURE RULE ADOPTED IN The
HOUSE BY VOTE OF
200 TO 172.
PREDICT PASSAGE OF BILL
Crucial Point Passed, Say Admins
tration Leaders, Who Claim Meas
ure Will Have 100 Majority.

Wilson won
the opening skirmish of the great leg
islative battle of his administration
when the house, over bitter protests
from recognized Democratic leaders
and almost solid minority opposition,
adopted a special rule for the consider
alton of the bill repeating the free
tolls provision of the Panama canal
act. Speaker Clark, Democratic Lead
er Underwood, Republican Leader
Mann and Progressive Leader Muir
dock headed those lined up against
the administration, but the house re-
sponded to the presidents personal ap-
peal for prompt consideration of the
repeal bill as a means OF supporting
his administration foreign policy.
Two votes demonstrated the pres1-
dents commanding influence with his
party in congress. On the first test,
a motion to end debate and preclude
amendment on the rule carried by
vote of 2O7 to 176; the rule itself was
adopted 200 to 172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
had occurred in the house since the
famous Cannon rules fight four years
ago. In vain Representative Under
wood took the floor and urged his col
leagues to vote against the rule. The
rank and file Democrats, after listen
ing to three hours of passionate ar
gument, swung into the presidents
column, 1919 of them voting to prevent
the amendment of the special. rule,
while but IS followed the leaders in
joining with the minority in opposi-
ton.

ENGLISH throne SHAKEN
PARLIAMENT SETTLING CALDRON
OVER ALLEGED ALLIANCE
OF KING.
Unless Premier Asquith Satisfactorily
Explains He Will Face Danger of
Liberal Rebellion.

London.-Westmins continues to
be seething caldron over what the
Liberals now denounce" as the "mu-
tiny of the army aristocrats" against
democratic government. The fact has
been established from all obtainable
evidence that Gen. Hubert Cough and
the other officers of the Third cavalry
brigade demanded and obtained writ
ten assurances that they would not
be ordered to fight Sir Edward Car
sons Ulster volunteers, and that these
assurances were obtained largely
through the personal Intervention of
the king.
The throne, which additionally has
kept out of party controversies, is in
vOlved in the discussion as it never
before has been during King Georges
reign or that of his diplomatic father.
The section Of the Liberals who op-
posed what they denounce as a sur
render to the military oligarchy are
criticising the king with the greatest
freedom. They resent his action In
summoning to the palace Field Mar
shall Lord Roberts, who, in his speech
es, advised the officers that they might
properly erfuse service in suppress
ing the Ulster irreconcilables. They
criticise his majesty for dealing per-
sonally with Field Marshal Sir John
French, chief of the general staff.

at Chapel Hill, N. C.

crowd of students of the University
of North Carolina, in the lobby of the
postoffice at Chapel Hill, S. R. Win

students at the state university in a
morning newspaper.
A party of eleven, including stu
dents and citizens of Chapel Hill, were
bound over to the court On the charge
Of pls ing "craps," and the report
gave their names. This caused the

only the intervention of students and
a hurried call for the police kept the
crowd from beating up Winters.

the authorities of Chapel Hill are on
a campaign to break up gambling at
the university and in the town. The
chief of police of Chapel Hill, in
statement, says that with what evil

INSURGENTS MAKE ATTACK
FEDERALS DRIVEN BACK WHEN
MAKING ATTEMPT TO ES-
CAPE FROM CITY.
Huerta Troops Concentrated in West
ern Part of Torreon to Resist
Combined Attack.

JuareZ, Mexico.-A message from
Gomez Palacio, signed by General Viii
la, said that he had concentrated his
forces to force his way into Torreon,
there to join General Herrera and to
take supreme command. Officials
here declared that the federals al
ready had tried to escape from the city,
but were driven back and were in no
condition to withstand such an at
tack as that of which Villa gave no.
tice in this telegram.
A telegram received from General
Villa says that practically all of Tor
reon, including the entire business
section, is in the hands of the rebels.
General Herrera, at the head of 1000
men, is said to have entered the city
from the east instead of the north, as
at first reported, and is said to have
fought his way through the streets to
the bull-ring on the northern edge Of
the city.
A second telegram from Villa
amended the first to show that the
federals were concentrated in their last
defenses in the western portion of this
city. Rebel officials here say that if
the federals do not hold their position
there, they inevitably must be cap
tured.
The same telegram says that fed,
eral Generals Pena, Reyna and Anaya
have been killed and General Ocaranza
seriously wounded.

enlargement. A call is made on man
ufacturers of textile machinery in all
parts of the country to contribute ma
chinery for the equipment, as was
done in the original opening of the
building.
The executive committee also ap-
proved plan for Summer school of
instruction for the rural schools of
the state to be in progress June 8
in the rural high schools who are
engaged in teaching agriculture and
nature study. A four-year course in

State Board Of Agriculture arranged
for the farm demonstration workers
from the United States Department of

ers from the government cooperating

State Seal Is Badly Worn.

Secretary of State J. Bryan Grimes
and Governor Craig are cooperating
in the purchase of a new great seal
of state for the governors office. The
seal now in use is badly worn and the
mechanism by which it is operated in
attaching the seal to documents of
state is badly out of "whack." The
instrument was broken during the
administration of Governor Russell
and was somewhat crudely repaired.
Also some of the letters have become
so badly worn as to show up poorly
in the imprints.
The present seal has been in use
since 1883. The seal that was in use
prior to that time was made in 1886
and the one prior to that in 1894.
Then there were a number of colonial
seals. Drawings of new seals have
been received from a number of
manufacturers. The general design
of the seal is being considerably
changed in those designs being Of
fered.
