The Joint session will hear what
the president has to advise on the
Mexican situation and probably be-
fore the president returns to the
White House the necessary resolution
will have been offered in each house
in separate session. The chairmen of
the forcing relation committees will
offer the resolutions which Immediate
ly will be referred to the respective
committees. Hurried sessions of the
committees will report the resolutions
and before adjournment they prob
ably will be passed and laid before
the president.
The form and substance of the reso-
luton to be presented in the event
of movement against Huerta, how
ever, will depend largely on Presi-
dent Wilson'S wishes. He is expected
at least to ask for power to order a
blockade of Mexican ports.
The Mexican embassy here received
no word during the day from it's gov
crnment.

CrEcr Pranch Will Discuss Amended
RESOLUTION. Which is Intended to
Take Place of That Held Up
Meantime There Will BE No Action

Washington, April 21-Action by
the army and navy of the United
States to force Huerta to salute the
American flag was held up early today
through opposition in the senate 20
the form of the joint resolution ap-
proving President Wilson's purpose,
as it passed the house last night A
recess of the senate was taken at
1928 until noon today.
The president, while stating in his
message to congress that he has con-
stitutional authority to act, is waiting
for congress to express it's approval
before Tampico and Vera Cruz to be
seized or other steps taken looking to
reparation for the arrest of American
bluejackets at Tampico.
In q spectacular midnight session
the senate discussed the house resolu-
ton briefly. Senators objected to in
dividu2liZing Huerta and a substitute
resolution was agreed upon by the
foreign relations committee, giving
the president broad authority to deal
with indignities to the United States
in Mexico "in view of the situation as
presented by the president in his
message"
President Wilson had retired early
but Secretary Tumulty, Secretary
} ~
Vice President Marshall, Acting Chair
man Shively and other administration
leaders conferred on the substitute
resolution.
NO orders to the army and navy
will be issued tonight" was the an
nouncement made after a conference,
action being deferred until congress
acts on the joint resolution approving
the presidet's purpose of using the
armed forces Of the United States to
enforce it's demands against Gen. HUI
erta, growing out of the arrest at
Tampico OF American bluejackets.
The resolution passed the house to-
night by vote f 337 to 81 after
spirited debate
For seevral hours it was considered
by the senate foreign relations COM
mittee. The senate foreign relations
committee agreed at midnight to re-
port the resolution, with the preamble
amended to read lin view Of the
situation presented by the president"
1nd eliminating individual reference
to Huerta throughout the measure
AT 1928 o'clock the senate receded
until II noon Tuesday under an agree
ment to consider the resolution at that
time.
The house adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow. President Wilson retired
after hearing that the house had
adopted the resolution.
Persons in touch with the president

would be taken by the United States
were of a nature which would not re-

kept informed of developments,
however.
The debate in the house brought out
the fact that while the American navy
probably would blockade Mexico off
from commerce with the United States.
it would rot interfere with the passage

concentrations made by Mr. Purdy.
IT grants Hogan release upon the pay
ment OF 500 to the city. subject to the
proviso that he shall serve out his
term. IL he is ever again convicted Of
selling or handling liquor in any form
or is convicted in some other State
and brought back 20 this State.
1t was known generally that efforts
were being made to secure Hogan's
pardon and the news that a parole had
been granted came as something ex-
pected to many of the people of Sum-
ter. The opinion Of those heard dis
cussing the matter seemed divided.
Many seemed to think that the sem
tence was too severe for the offense
and that parole should have been
granted. Others seemed t think
that Hogan should have served out
his term. or at least served out more
of it before parole was granted.
1t is not known whether steps will
be taken by the city to oppose the
action of the governor, as was recent
ly the case in Dillon. Mr.. Clifton, the
attorney representing the city in the
case was out OF town, and Mayor
