 HELPS R. B. BILL
Will be Considered Every Day at 10 a. m.-FormerIy Was Consider
 ed on Wednesday Only.

WASHINGTON, Feb 4.-The sub stitution of the Senate Alaska rail- road bill, known as the Chamberlain bill, by the House Rules committee has the effect of shutting off the dis cussion of the minority report of the Territories committee, which had made a strong report against the Alaska railroad bill as drafted by the delegate from the north and has the effect of stopping all debate on the Wickersham measure, as that bill is killed
 The substitution will also mean the more rapid consideration of the bill, which heretofore could only be talk en up on every Wednesday, while now it becomes unfinished business and will be taken up for consideration each day at 10 o'clock. It's passage is expected in at least two weeks longer.

MEXICO CITY, Feb 1.-The lifting of the embargo on the exporting Of arms from the United States to the Mexican rebels is believed by the foreign element in this city to mean that the crisis they have so long fear ed and dreaded has finally come and that the best thing they can do is to leave the country and abandon all they have here, as anarchy is sure to follow the success of the rebels of the north, who are in reality the banding together of the bandits and robbers of Mexico, who will not re spect the lives or property of either foreigners or Mexicans.

.L|TERACY TEST
 F0R IMMIGRANTS
House Defeats Attempt to Eliminate Education Test From immi-
 grafton Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The House yesterday afternoon defeated the at tempt of some of the members to remove from the immigration meas ure under discussion the requirement of literacy test by all immigrants who seek admittance into the United States. The vote was overwhelm- ingly in favor of forcing all who come into the country to be able to read and write the language of the coun- try from which they come.
 President Taft vetoed the last i'm migration bill on the last day of his term as president. claiming that many good, honest and industrious citizens of foreign countries come here and make good citizens of the United States. who are unable to read or write, having been denied an opportunity of education, while many a crook comes into the country with the finest education. The test of lit eracy, declared Mr. Taft, was not a fair test of good citizenship.
 The bill is expected to pass in a few days by an overwhelming major ity, as all party lines have been ob- liberated in the discussion of the bill.
 Every amendment to the exclusion law was voted down by the members of the House. It is believed that the bill will pass the House, but that it stands no chance for passage in the Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-President Wilson yesterday announced that the embargo which the United States government has heretofore maintain ed against the exportation of arms and ammunition to Mexico will be raised and that the Mexican rebels, headed by General Carranza, will be allowed to buy arms in the United States.
 It is the first time since the civil war in Mexico commenced that the embargo has been raised, as under the Taft administration and up to the present time, under the Wilson ad- ministration, no exports were allow ed.
 It is expected here that the priv ilege to buy will be availed of inn mediately by the rebel forces under Gen. Carranza. as the rebels have se- cured large sum sof money from the recent capture of northern Mexican towns and have plenty of money to buy firearms, which they greatly need
 The decision of President Wilson is taken as an indication that the administration will lend it's aid to the roholc who can car1lra all the nac- essary arms now for an active cam- paign, can secure the latest make of machine guns, can buy all the war munitions and food supplies from the

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 4.-Provision- al President Huerta stated today that the lifting of the embargo on firearms to the rebels would in no wise change his attitude towards the United States and that the only result would be to make the lives of for eigners more unsafe.
 Intense bitterness is shown by many Mexicans towards the American ad- ministration because of the act of President Wilson, as they say that the arming of the irresponsible bandits and murderers of the north is un- warranted and that peace cannot be established in the republic by the fol- lowers of General Villa and his as sociation of bandit chiefs.
 The leaders of the Catholic party, while opposed to General Huerta, are equally as strongly opposed to the recognition of General Villa

For the Democratic Nomination
for Congressman at-Large
from State.
tBy Charles Brooks smith.l

WASHINGTON, May 2.-More or
less disquieting news comes from the
Eastern Panhandle for the Hon.
Wylle Beall, OF Wellsburg, and posi-
bly, for the Hon. Hal Deput, of Roane,
the Hon. Sam " Woods, Of Barbour
the Hon. Ben Butcher, of Wood, and
whatever other gentleman that may
have secret in their hearts covet-
Gus of the Democratic nomination for
congressman-at-lafge. The news in
question IS that the Hon. Gray silver
of Martinsburg, has ii in mind to
take over that nomination for his
very own-or try to. The news bears
the earrnarks Of authenticity. Silver
is politician OF skill and experience
and personality smooth and urbane
But he Is most to be feared because
he stands as close in to the Watson-
Chiffon machine as it is possible for
enc to get, and he knows SO much
about the building of that mechanism
as the owners themselves; so much in
fact that 1t might be dangerous for
them not 10 honestly back him to win.
No one ever rendered unto Caesar
more than Silver has rendered unto
Watson Chiffon, not even the new
state committee chairman, Glen sha-
yer, and that is saying a great deal
indeed.
If there is anything Of virtue in the
earlyIbird maxim then Col. Beall has
an advantage at this earip stage, for
he ii was who was first to climb to
the housetops and proclaim in no in
audible tones his ambition to try to
GUST Howard Sutherland from job
he has discharged with such con-
/ spicuous distinguished success. De-
pue was the first talked of by the
cllrnnclers of politics, but ne tErricd
and was not first to shy his castor
II was Beall who grabbed that honor.
If such 1t be, and he is formally in
stalled in the race, according TO
ceremonious customs and usages. The
I others have been wasting their precl-
Gus time wandering between two
worlds, one dead, the other powerless
/ to be born, as Ignatius Brennan
might say, while the Wellsburg bank
er decided with the promptness that
J he would discount note for any
! rich and opulent newspaper report
ers, for example. However. they
they have some time coming to them
in which to decide what they are go
/ ing to do. Knowing Beall as they
do, they win understand without hir-
ing tutor what stride they will have
to strike to keep within sight of the
Brooke county man. 1t will be no
place for a timid man or a tlghtwad.
II 1t is true that Senator Silver is
not going to try to succeed himself
the friends OF Braxtun d Gibson, OF
Charles Town, say that he ought to
easily secure the nomination for SEN
ator Followers of Samuel J. Hodges,
of Shepherdstown, fail to see It in
that light. They argue that with Sill
yer out OF the way, their candidate's
chances are improved. 1t narrowg
the field and ought to focus party al
tention and interest on the two men
and the Hodges contingent think SO
highly of their fayorite that they say
this viii help him. Gibson is a lawyer
and Hodges Is q grain merchant.
