Political Cleaning Up.

The Progressive party in Vermont is
cleaning up for business. 1t has been in
bad condition for long time. The or
ganization has fallen out among the
members and some Of the officials The
weekly organ of the party has been re-
duced in size and value to that party.
Mr. c. II. Thompson seems to have
been the cause of good deal of the
trouble. He has long been in disagree
ment with the leaders of the party; and
the executive committee has at last
taken the drastic action of inviting him
to take himself clean out of the organ
ization and its affairs.
1t has been widely known that the
party has been at loose ends for many
months Mr.. Thompson has nominally
been the manager of the affairs of the
party, yet the majority OF the party is
opposed to his methods. This condition
has been aggravated by Mr.. Thompson's
attempt to run the party, regardless of
the majority of the organization.
The two documents we are printing
to-day over the signature of Fl. Nelson
Jackson, chairman of the executive COM
mittee OF the Progressive party OF the
state of Vermont.

clean up the Progressives from all "Old

the ground that the refusal of the United
States to permit shipments for the fed
erals to land at Vera Cruz was in the
way OF reprisal for the Tampico Incl
dent.
On the other hand it is not known
what attitude this government will as
sumo if the federal gunboats attempt
to blockade Tampico. The rebels have
no navy to oppose the federal ships.
But one disturbing factor developed
yesterday morning to throw a cloud over
the satisfaction felt by the administra-
ton over the recent performances of the
constitutionalists IL is factor, how
ever, that promises to prove embarrass-
ing.
The Italian ambassador called on the
secretary of state yesterday morning
and represented that an Italian citizen,
the representative of an oil company,
was being held by the constitutionalists
at Monterey for n ransom of $4,000.
This and other matters were laid before
the cabinet yesterday by Secretary Bry-
an.
With few exceptions the cabinet Is be-
lieved to have little confidence in the
prospect of favorable results from medi-
alton. 1t is anticipated that Huerta's
delegates will insist on the settlement
first of all of the controversy arising out
of the refusal OF Huerta to order sa-
lutte to the American flag at Tampico.
The United States delegates win be
instructed to permit nothing to be taken
up which does not include the elimina.
ton Of Huerta and the adjustment Of
the entire Mexican situation. II is ar
gued that hopeless deadlock will be
reached in about week after the medi-
ators convene.

PIPE LINES I'm TRUST BILLS?
Senator Owen Asks Wilson to List Them
as Common Carriers.

Washington, May Ex-senator Owen
made strong plea to President Wilson
yesterday for the inclusion in the anti
trust legislation of the pipe lines of the
country. The senator insisted that the
pipe lines employed in the transportation
of oil should be regarded as common car
riers and be subject to any state laws.
In none of the measures now pending as
part Of the administration programme is
this view of the matter taken.
The senator told the president that
the question was one OF vital interest to
the oil producing states of the middle
West, and especially in Oklahoma. He
said the oil producers of Oklahoma vir-
tually were at the mercy of the great
oil companies and had no redress in the
federal courts. President Wilson prom
ised to take the matter under advise
ment.

Dictator Must Produce Con-
sui Thought Killed and
Others Missing
EXPECTED TO BRING
ON SUDDEN WAR
Italian Citizen Is Held by
the Rebels for
Ransom

Washington, May l6.-There is every
indication that President Wilson is pre-.
pairing to serve another ultimatum on
Huerta, the outcome of which is very
likely to be war.
Profound uneasiness exists regarding
the fate of Vice Consul John r. Silliman
imprisoned by the Mexican federals at
Saltillo. Many officials are convinced
that he has been killed.
They are likewise concerned about the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of Orderly Samuel Parks of the Goth in
fantry and several newspaper CORE
spondents.
President Wilson, it is believed, is pre-
pairing to serve notice on Huerta to pro-
duce the missing men, dead or alive,
within certain stipulated time.
To back up such a demand the army
forces are getting ready. Large guam
titles of supplies are being shipped to
Galveston from New York and other sta
tions.
With the supplies on hand the troops
remaining at Texas City could be under
way for Vera Cruz in three hours.
Should the army go into active service
it seems almost certain that an alliance
will be formed with the constitutional
lists. AT the present time the most cor
dial relations apparently exist between
Carranza and Secretary Bryan. The for
mer has gone out of his way to permit
the oil operators at Tampico to resume
operations, and Secretary Bryan has APP
parently been willing to let bygones be

but Orders Ammunition.
Washington, May Although claim
ing to see no emergency at hand in the
Mexican situation, Secretary of War
Garrison yesterday admitted that the
army is ready on a moments notice.
Coast artillery and other troops, he
stated, are under orders to have their
equipment ready for hasty embarkation
if needed. Mountain artillery is being
turned out in the arsenals. Rifles are
at full complement, but ammunition in
some instances is at low ebb. Conse-
quently the arsenals at Springfield,
Mass, Watervliet. n. Y, and Rock Is
land, ILL.,, are trying to make up the
deficiency.
Contracts have been made with rail
roads, the secretary said, for quick move
ment OF troops, if necessary.

panies and Others" he said, 'to have
everything ready. This order applies all
over the country. It does not mean,
however, that | see any emergency, for

The secretary insisted that this state
of preparedness was no greater now
than it has been for AK months. Food
