REMOVE PENALTY
 FROM MEN WHO
 FOUGHT FOR SOUTH
House Passes Bill Repeating Section Prohibiting Claims of Those
 Who Favored Rebellion"

Washington, June 29.-With an unusual demonstrat ton. the House today unani- mously passed bill to repeal a section of the revised statutes which prohibits the payments of accounts, claims or other obligations against the United States In favor of any one who encouraged or sustained or in any way favored the rebellion.
 The measure would open up claims of various kinds aggregating about s165,oo0 from West Point graduates who were afterwards officers in the confederacy. Representative Graham of Pennsylva- mia, told the House he had found slowed away on the judiciary calendar this bill to remove penalties from men who fought in the south.
 "The half century or more which has passed" said MT. Graham, "has brought together the warning combatants of Get tysburg to weep and cheer in unison on that fateful field. Let's wipe from the statute books the offspring of the feel ings which bitter strife engendered." The measure was passed promptly with out dissenting vote and enthusiastic applause came from both sides of the chamber.

 GET OUT OF MEXICO

 Garden

Mexico City. June 29.-Sir Lionel Car den, British minister. today advised all British subjects temporarily to leave Mex leo. He said the shortage of fuel used In the operation of trains was becoming more acute daily, and that the trains probably soon would stop running, which would make difficult the departure of persons in the Interior
 Sir Lionel said he believed 1t to be his duty to urge all British subjects to leave the capital mmediately. and he especially advised that the women and children be removed The minister declared he had no desire to frighten the members of the British colony. He said he had not or- dered them to go, such a course only be- ing advised.
 Eight hundred British subjects are reg istered at the legation now residing in Mexico City. It Is the minister's plan to get a sufficient number of these to sign an agreement to leave the capital so that they can obtain a special train from the Mexican government to take them to Puerto Mexico, and also secure a trans port to convey the passengers to Jamaica, where they could remain until the close of the present Mexican trouble.
 Britishers lacking funds to enable them ito get out of the country will be furnished with money by the legation as loan.

SERIOUS CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST
 CHAMBERS SHERIFF
Delegation Appears Before Governor Asking Impeach- ment Proceedings Be
 Brought

Montgomery. June 29.--(Special.) )--Cor- ruption in office and other illegal prac- tices were the charges made today against Sheriff John W. Lane of Cham bers county by a dozen or more promi- nent citizens of that county. all of whom told the governor of numerous irregular proceedings of the official.
 The delegation from Chambers county met with the governor this afternoon. charged Sheriff Lane with having de- manded money upon Illegal grounds and asked that impeachment proceedings be instituted against him. Sherff Lane was charged with having made arrests with out warrants. of having made false repre- sentation concerning the crimes of those in his custody, and of having failed to make an account to the proper official for funds he had received
 Among those who testified to the gov ernor against Sheriff Lane were former
 Probate Judge A. l.. Driver of Chambers
 county; J. M. Walton, tax collector Howard M. Scheussler, A. J. Gilbert, Mrs
 Richards. Mrs Smith and others
 Failed to Make Account One of the women told the governor that Sheriff Lane had wanted to arrest her young boy, who was at work in a cotton null at Lafayette The sheriff
 dismissed the boy, it Is alleged, upon the payment of u sum of money. The woman IS widow, and 1t is said the money she
 paid was not placed to the credit of the
 county. Others testified to similar con- duct on the part of the sheriff, declaring
 that he had made arrests without war rants. and that he had released his prs-
 oners only upon payment to him of sums of money, which, it is alleged never reached the county treasury
 Sheriff Lane will appear before the gov ernor tomorrow in his own behalf. | While the delegation from Chambers | county was in consultation with the gov ernor today one of the sheriff's friends | telephoned him and asked him to resign. | Sheriff Lane asked that he be permitted l to lay his cause before the governor and he will be given that opportunity. Should Sheriff Lane not resign, it is expected that 1 impeachment proceedings will be ordered immediately by the governor. The gover- | nor was much incensed today when he heard the testimony of the Chambers | county delegation, and he declared his in- tention to have Sheriff Lane immediately
 removed from office If he is guilty of the 1 charges against him.
