bill to repeal the Panama tolls exemp-
tion favorably was reported by the
house commerce committee by vote
of II to A. Representatives Doremus
Of Michigan, Knowland of California.
O'Shaughnessy of Michigan and Laf-
ferty of Washington voted against 1t.
Chairman Adamson of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, upon whom the duty of re-
spending TO the presidents request
evolves in the house, lost no time In
preparing for the fight confronting
him and his committee.
The Sims bill to repeal the exemp-
tion clause was withdrawn from the
files where it was stored when the
house rejected it as an amendment to
the canal act and was presented to
the committee for reconsideration.
Similar action on the Root bill by
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals was promised, as that commit
tee also had before it the Chiffon
measure, which would give the presi-
dent authority to impose or suspend
tolls by proclamation.

UNABLE TO RAISE RANSOM
General Terrazas Cannot Comply With

Ell Paso, Tex, March with the

General Luis Terrazas, the aged Mexi-
can, threatened to go to Chihuahua
for the purpose of placing himself in
the custody of General Francisco
Villa, rebel leader, as a hostage for
the son.
Dispatches from Chihuahua say
General Villa is considering two metz
ods of execution should the ransom
for Colonel Terrazas be not forth
coming. One is the ordinary method
of shooting by a firing squad. The
other contemplates forcing the prison
er to go to Torreon when Villa attacks
that city and of placing him in the
front ranks of the attackers, where
.he would be in the direct line OF fire
of the defenders of that city.
Despite the fact that he was the
richest man In Mexico" General Ter
razas pleads that he has found it i'm
possible to raise the s250,000 ransom
demanded.

CO. If we do it should not be for the

advantage to us, but in the interest
of the Mexican people and other resi-.

thority to act. To Villa, not recog.
nized as a belligerent; not even a
