ALICE
ANTI-M00SE PLOT
Progressives' Lack of Senator
ial District Committee May
Debar Candidates.

Chicago, Ill. March 6.-Progressive
state leaders believe they have discov-
cred plot to deprive the party OF
more than nominal representation In
the next Illinois general assembly.
The trouble arises over the condi-
tions imposed by, the direct primary
law and the general elections act. The
situation has become so serious that
overtures are reported to have been
made by State Chairman Raymond
Robins for the progressives TO Gov
ernor Dunno and to Secretary of State
Woods. seeking a gentlemen agree
ment."
Under the election laws, the sena-
torial committee in each district is ol-
rected to stipulate the number OF can
didates for the lower house-one, two,
or three-to be nominated at the d.
rect primaries on Sept. 9. There are
no progressive senatorial committees
because the progressive party was not
Organized at the time the existing
senatorial committees were elected In
April, 1912.
The. alleged plot, charged to the re-
publicans, centers around plan to
obtain the nomination of three pro-
gressives in each district, and thus
split up the progressive vote in No
vember and save to the republicans
the chance of electing enough house
members under the present republi-
can senatorial apportionment to elect
a speaker.
From Springfield comes the report
that Chairman Robins has consulted
Governor Dunno and Secretary Woods
and made an agreement that the pres
ent progressive state committee shall
of the senatorial districts which shall
determine the number of candidates to
be nominated, just as though they had
been properly elected committees. The
committees for the 10 Cook districts
are to be named by the Cook county
committee and to consist, presumably,
of the ward committeeman within the
respective districts.
The announced policy of the pro-
gressives, as declared last fall. is to
nominate but one house candidate in
each district, the expectation being
that the party would hold its lineup of
26 members in the last house and in
crease its strength possibly to 5.
From republican sources yesterday
it was learned there has been quiet dis
cussion of the plan openly feared by
the progressives. The supposed gen
tlemen's agreement" was disposed of
with the suggestion that such COM
pact could not exist after primary
night, inasmuch as a mandamus writ
directed to the county clerks within
the various senatorial districts would
determine the issue eventually.

Mayor William Riddle. and his ex-

London, England, March 6.-Lauda-

message to congress were published
in most newspapers of this country
today. The government organ, the
Westminster Gazette, says:
1.-The president sets an example OF
straight dealing which may be recon-
mended to diplomats Of the old world"
Referring to Wilson's mention OF
"other matters of even greater deli
cacy," the Westminster Gazette says:
1--WE understand the allusion and think
it right to say Wilson's handling OF
this question greatly facilitates quiet
consideration of other and more deli
cate questions" Regarding the execu
tion of Benton, the same newspaper
says: when we are dealing with
man of such manifest uprightness and
good will as President Wilson, we Ger.
tainly do not expect our government
to force those issues in chop-logicAl
and contentious spirit"

dress to congress yesterday, as de-

The resolution went over until tomor-

that feature of the address, the presa-
dent explained he meant to say it was
very awkward to deal with foreign na-
tions which took the position that the
United States did not live up to the
treaty of it's obligations. That particu-
lar phase of the address, however, has
been widely discussed in official and
congressional circles and many COZ.

Villa Formally Fixes Date

FAMILY HAS NOT MONEY
United States Special Agent
May Intercede in an Effort
to Save Prisoner.

FL Paso, Texas, March General
Terrazas has until Sunday next to pay
half million pesos ransom for his
son Luis, held by General Villa at Chi
huahua. According to friends, the
general has not that much money, al
though three years ago the fortune OF
the Terrazas family was estimated at
forty million dollars.
A letter demanding the money, dat
ed March 3, stated if the ransom was
not paid within five days Luis would
be taken south" with Villa. This
threat was taken by General Terrazas
to mean his son would fall victim 10

money was not forthcoming.
Luis has already submitted to the
extortion of s650,OO0 in American gold
to save his life. 1t is probable Special

years, to save Luis. General Terrazas
is so.

81 am so years old and neither
life nor money mean much to me-"
said General Terrazas. with tremor
in his voice. MY son, Luis, has 13
children and they need him. would
gladly return to chihuahua and Villa
could kill me instead of my son."
While General Terrazas did not say
as much the interview left the infer
ence that he is not now in possession
of the sum demanded. Luis, the son
is about fifty years OF age and for
seveal months had been held a pris-
oner by the rebels.
At the time OF his arrest, the rebels
demanded S650,000 gold as the price
of life. This sum was slow in being
paid and Luis was taken out and
moose adjusted about his neck. Then
he was gently hoisted from his feet.
The torture was repeated until he
signalled he would pay the sum de-
manded-all he had in the Chihuahua
bank.
After this incident he was removed
from the palace where he had been
confined and allowed to live under
guard with his family in one of his
fathers houses.
