 Evenly Or Canal
 Tolls Amendment
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON, April 27.- Hear ings on the bill to repeal the free tolls provision in the Panama canal act have been closed and the senate canals com mittee will tomorrow begin the con sideration in executive session Of the report to the senate.
 The committee is said to be about evenly divided for and against the re- peal. Chairman O'Gorman thought the executive deliberations might last two days. Senator Simmons. who has been prominent in the fight for the repeal. said the committee might report the bill with an amendment which will de- clare in substance that the United States valves no rights over the canal.
 The big fight for repeal will be made on the senate floor, where the debate is expected to last for several weeks.
 F. A Jones, member of the Arizona state corporation commission, said the inter- mountain country is just as much interested in free tolls as the Pacific coast.

of conciliation. Pending the receipt of q formal acceptance by Huerta of the mediation offer. no proposals will be submitted either to the United States or to the Huerta government. The president and Bryan, were assured through two separate diplomatic sourc- es that Huerta is ready to accept a ten- der of the good offices and is now drafting a formal acceptance.
 Meanwhile the war and navy depart ments are continuing to care for ref ugees, perfecting the machinery of the fighting forces for any unexpected turn of events. Secretary Daniels announced he had telegraphed the full text of the mediation offer and it's acceptance by the United States to both Rear Ad- mirals Badges and Howard. with in- structiOns to have the commanders of all ships on both the coasts of Mexico spread the news throughout Mexico. By this means Daniels hopes the feel ing toward Americans will be alleviat- ed and refugees enabled to depart without molestation. Advices received through the British embassy told Of completion of arrangements for the safe departure of Americans from Mex icO City, and the French ambassador gave the state department a message

Orders were issued last night by Adjutant General Harris upon in structicns from Governor Hunt withdrawing the two national guard companies from duty guarding the reclamation works of the United States government in Yuma county and the state troops will be relieved this morning by regulars some of which are on the ground already and others of which will be sent from Nogales where ther are now HOO regular soldiers of Uncle Sans army
 The men have had just one weeks , service as it has been seven days since they were ordered into th. field under command of Major Harry H. Donkersley. During this time all sorts of rumors have made their way to Phoenix concerning the state of unrest in Yuma and along the border near there, but never has q word of complaint coming from the major commanding that he and his men could not control the situation l The detail for service was furnish ed from Companies H and l., both of which have home stations in Yuma and it is reported upon excellent authority that the demeanor of the citizen soldiers has been such as to bring forth many words of com imendatlon for them from prominent citizens of the southwestern Arizona city
 Engineer Sellew of the reclamation service in charge of the project at Yuma notified Governor Hunt yes terday that while the Twelfth h. fantry passed through Yuma an Sunday they failed to detach any portion of the regiment for service at Yuma The telegram also aske,i for quick action. The executive acted quickly and wired General Tasker H. Bliss at Fort Sam Hous ton, and the war department as well as Congressman Hayden and Senator
 Ashurst that he was withdrawing
 state troops from Yuma and to guard
 the works
 It is thought that by the time 'his

offices. Consequently the reply from Mexico City is not expected to deal with conditions which will be reached when the peace makers have formulated their plans and make it known how they propose to use the good offices which have been accepted. It was suggested they probably would ask Washington and Mexico City governments tomorrow for statements as to what each would demand ill the event a formal mcdl- ation were undertaken. and that upon the nature of the responses to the request would depend the proposals next submitted.
 Unofficial advices from Mexico City already had made it virtually certain that General Huerta would accept the offer of the peace envoys but the formal announcement tonight tended to further relieve the slack ening tension of the crisis. The news was given 10 President Wilson who expressed himself as greatly pleased, although he would mike nc further comment.
 While house officials let it b' known that they were earnestly de sirous of aiding the South American diplomats in every way possible anC that no announcement as to thu points that would he insisted upol by the United States would be made
