Classed as Snuff.

Suit was commenced in the federal
court. North Dakota district, asking
an Injunction against Prof. E. F..
Ladd. state pure food commissioner.
restraining him from prosecuting
dealers who handle w. B. fine cut
chewing tobacco. Some days ago
Prof. I.add issued bulletin to the ef-
feet that w. B. fine cut tobacco came
under the provisions of the North Da-
kota anti-snuff law and that its sale
was illegal.
The present suit is a test case COM
menced by the manufacturers Of w.
B. fine cut tobacco to obtain a de-
cision of the court as to whether the
sale of this brand of tobacco is pro-
hibited in this state The action will
probably not be decided until Janu-
ary.
At the time Professor Ladd issued
his bulletin he accompanied it with
an opinion of the attorney general of
the state, such opinion being that the
tobacco named came under the classi-
fication of snuff. as defined in the law,
and that Its sale was illegal. The mat
ter has been carried to the United
States court by the tobacco company
and the legal battle promises to be a
hotly contested one.

HITCH IN PLANS
OF MED|AT0RS
FLAT DISAGREEMENT AS TO
WAY PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT
IS TO BE SECURED.
THE UNITED STATES OBJECTS
Unwilling That Man Named by Gen.
eraI Huerta Should Succeed Him
In Presidency.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-The United
States is unwilling to extend recogni-
ton to a new provisional president if
named according to the method pre-
scribed by the Mexican delegates
which is that General Huerta would
appoint as minister Of foreign affairs
the man who Is agreed on here to
head the new government. The
Washington administration contends
that if General Huerta is permitted to
name the foreign minister, who by
constitutional succession would be
elevated to the presidency even
though the selection be made here,
such an act would be construed as
recognition Of the Huerta government.
On this issue the mediating pleni-
potentiaries came to a fat disagree
ment.
For more than two hours the medi.
ators aud American delegates argued
in vain and it was apparent when
the conferences ended that what hith.
erto had been considered a matter of
detail suddenly had developed a snag,
The Mexican delegates had not dis
cussed the point at any length with
the mediators when the latter took IT
up with the Americans. Although the
three South American diplomats ar
gued strongly from the Mexican view
point there was good reason to believ
that the Mexican delegates would not
insist on this arrangement If they
found the United States absolutely de-
termined against 1t.
One Mexican delegate insisted that
the .Mexicans regarded the form OF
transition as a technically which
could be dispensed with if the Ameri
can government found 1t impossible
to agree to the method suggested by
the Mexican delegates.
The mediators contended with
vehemence that the forms OF the
Mexican Constitution should be pre-
served. The American delegates are
understood to have pointed out thai
the Constitutionalists certainly would
not agree to a plan Of transition
which legalized Huerta's status. Also
the American government, it was de
clared, could not extend what would
be tantamount to recognition if Huer
ia actually appointed his own sue
cessor. 'tf... ,

NO STRINGS TO
HUERTAs PROMISE
HIS DELEGATES EXPLAIN THAT
: HIS WILLINGNESS TO RETIRE.
is GENUINE. y
DE ANDs POLITICAL PEACE
II Agreement Can Secure That, he
says He Will Be Satisfied by Other
Method.

Niagara Falls.-No conditions are
attached to Gen. Huerta's promise to
resign the Mexican presidency as
o as his country is politically pac-
flied" His delegates to the mediation
conference took occasion to say pub
Ilicly that he does not intend to hide
behind technicalities.
The Mexican delegation had con-
cluded that it's recent statement set
ting forth the attitude of Gen. Huerta
towards demands for his retirement
was misinterpreted in some quarters.
1t had been said that under the Ian
guage of his pledge to retire when
the country was politically pacifed,
Gen. Huerta might insist on holding
office until all guerilla bands were
dispersed. On that account another
statement was issued by the Huerta
delegation. 1t reads. "a :.
Mr.. Rabaza, of the Mexican dele
CATION has been asked what is the
Interpretation given by the Mexican
delegates to the word politically in
the statement declaring that. Gen.
IHuerta is prepared to withdraw pro-
vided that at the time Of his with
drawal Mexico shall be politically
pacified'; and if he thinks that an
agreement between the two contend
ing parties would not be considered
as fulfilling Gen. Huerta's condition.
ITO the above question Mr.. Ra-
baza answers that the expression
used by the delegation does not mean
that Gen. Huerta demands the mate
rial pacifcation of the country nor
the dispersal of the last Of the groups
Of bandits which overrun many parts
of it, making the revolution a pretext
for their la~wlessness; but, that peace
shall be assured by political means
which will guarantee for the nation
that maintenance of law and order
which is indispensable to the exercise
Of constitutional functions. The object
in view is peace. The condition is
that that object shall have been
achieved.
IF an agreement insures that end
the condition as is well fulfilled by 1t
as by any other means"

HOUSES PASSES REPEAL, 216.71.
Long Bitter Fight Came to End After
Brief Debate in House.

Washington.-The long and bitter
fight in Congress came to an end when
the House, after brief debate and with
out the Formally of a conference, ac-
, cepted by a vote of 216 to II the
Senate amendment specifically reserv-
ing all rights the United States may
have under the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Before ending the contest by con-
curing in the Senate amendment,
the House voted down 154 to 10S, a
proposal advanced by Representative
Moss of West Virginia to attach to
the repeal a fiat declaration Of the
right of the United States to exempt
it's vessels from tolls and Of the SOW.
ereignty of the United States over
the Canal Zone.
There were flashes Of heat in the
debate which characterized the orig
inal consideration Of the measure.
Representative Underwood, the Dem
ocratic leader, although voting for the
Senate amendment, said that Congress
should never have made this "un-
American surrender" and called the
amendment ineffective and negative"
Republican Leader Mann, who had
vigorously opposed repeal, supported
the amendment, declaring it left the
entire question Of the right of this
country to be determined in the fu-
ture.

Ais ACTION DISPELS APPREHEN'
SION OVER NEW CRISIS CEN
TERlNG ON TAMPlCO.
WAS A RELIEF TO WILSON
Federal Gunboats Have Anchored IN
Pamico River Under General '
Huerta's instructions.

Washington.-General Huerta's &C
ton suspending the order to blockade
Tampico against the delivery or am
munition by the steamer Antilla TO
the Constitutionalists, served to dis
pei apprehension over a new crisis
between the United States and the
Huerta government which had threat
ened mediation of Mexican affairs.
Though Washington officials ex-
pressed satisfaction over Huerta's
action, it was persistently suggested
unofficially that the blockade had
been suspended only conditionaHy as
a. result of conferences between the
South American mediators and the
Mexican and American delegates at
Niagara Falls. 1t also was said the
Antilla might be diverted in her course
through an agreement with officials of
the Ward Line, her owners and an
American corporation.
President Wilson and Secretaries
Bryan and Daniels gave evidence of
great relief over the late develop
ments which temporarily at least,
have averted another clash at arms.
From no official source was there con-
fr1nation of reports that Huerta had
no understanding with the mediators
or the United States which would as
sure him that the Antilla's cargo
would not be delivered. Meanwhile
nothing has been heard from the An
tilla which is due to arrive off Tampi-
CO Wednesday morning.

ORED BY A VOTE OF SO

RIGHTS OF U. S. ASSERTED
The Switzerland Amendment Pre-
scented as Substitute for Rider
Was Defeated.

Washington.-The Senate cleared
away most of the legislative barriers
in the way of a final vote on the canal
tolls exemption repeal bill and unless
there are unforeseen developments the
fight which has ragged in Congress
over this measure for many months
will come to a close before adjourn
ment.
Votes taken on amendments design.
ed to preserve any right the United
States. possesses under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain
to exempt American ships from toll
payment through the Panama Canal
indicated that the forces of repeal will
win by a substantial majority.
Senator Simmons, who has led the
fight for repeal has estimated that
the bill will carry by not less than
10 votes and there was every promise
that his estimate will prove correct.
There was no real test Of strength
in the voting, but the repeal forces
won the first round of the fight when
they put through, by a vote Of so to
"a the so-called Simmons-Norris
amendment which declares the United
States does not waive or relinquish
any right it may have to exempt Am
erican ships from payment of tolls.
Although two subsequent attempts
to change the language of the amend
ment so that 1t would refer to q
right the United States has instead OF
any right it may have, were defeated,
but neither vote was so decisive as
that on the Simmons amendment.
One modifying amendment by Sen
ator Sutherland was beaten 40 to 33,
and the second proposed by Senator
Cummins suffered a like fate, 40 to 81,
OF the so Senators who voted for
the Simmons amendment SO were
Democrats and 13 Republicans and
the other vote was cast by Senator
P%oindexter, Progressive. Nine demo
Gratis and Is Republicans voted
against the amendment. In the votes
on the two substitutes offered there
were several changes but the align
ment Of Democrats remained about
the same as on the first vote.

fast road, three miles west of New

fields recently that was infested with
the destructive little pests, the area
being four or five yards square. The
underside of, the leaves was covered
with the webs and the little spiders
we're present in great numbers and
the leaves had turned red, the juice
having been sucked out of them by
the pests. The cotton was seven or
eight inches high, out in the middle Of
the field and had been growing nicely,
with no poke or other weeds nearby.
Mr.. Hill has pulled up the infested
stalks and burned them and hopes by
that means to stop the spread Of the
spider.
