BRITISH LAWllAKER
URGES INTERVENTION
Mai. M. Archershee. M. p. Back from
Mexico. Says United States
Should Take Hand.

London, Jan. n.-Maj. NJ. Archershee,
n. p, returned to London today after
spending the parliamentary recess In
northern Mexico where he discussed the
conditions with several federal and rebel
generals. idaj. Archershee said;
Il interviewed Gen. Carranza at the
constitutionalist headquarters at Hermo-
sillo and during our talk 1t struck me
that Carranza was perfectly sincere In
his desire to avenge the ASSASSINATION OF
Madero and Pine Suarez.
From what learned I feel that the
present state of chaos will continue for
many months, OF even years, IL the United
States does not either reverse Its policy
OF non-recognition of the de facto gov
ernment. which is improper in the highest
degree, or intervene.
These are the only two courses open
to the United States. As for the first. the
recognition Of Huerta, that policy Is sup
ported by millions of Americans, includ-
ing 3 vast majority of those who have
had experience in Mexico.
Before I had an opportunity to see
with my own eyes what the situation was
in northern Mexico / was strongly op-
posed to Intervention. But since / have
been there my views as to the proper
course for the United States to take has
been directly changed.
''Gen. Carransa seems to be in control
of the state of Sonora, and his supposed
followers have considerable control in
other northern states. II Carranza could
control his own forces Intervention by
the United States might be entirely un-
necessary. but everybody who knows any
thing about the situation knows that
Villa Is nothing less than ruthless
brigand and that he is not likely to sub
nit to any control.

Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and Miss
Minnie Bronson, an officer OF the organi-
zation, arrived in this city yesterday
from visit to Charleston. s. e.; Rich
mond, Va, and other Southern cities,
where they addressed large and enthusi-
sstic audiences on the question OF anti
suffrage. Mrs. Dodge and Miss Bronson
are at the Shoreham.
They report that the great majority OF
the Southern women are opposed to
woman suffrage, and are enrolling under
the manner of the ants. pledging them
selves to assist those Representative in
Congress or the State legislatures who
may have drawn upon themselves the I'll
will OF the suffragists. Mrs. Dodge says
that the antis are more numerous than
the suffragists. and will. by their In
huence, easily overcome that which may
be exerted by the suffragettes, whose
strength. 1t is claimed by Mrs. Dodge. in
greatly overreted.
Numerous letters have been received
at anti-suffrage headquarters, 1<ce II
street, from members Of that organiza-
ton, protesting against the manner in
which the Consumers League permitted
the mass meeting held under its auspices
at Columbia Theater last Sunday to be
turned into a suffrage meeting The
meeting, the complainants say. had been
called to consider the eight-hour law for
women, exclusively, and the question of
suffrage had no right to be brought up.
The ants. who claim that when they
became merpbers of the Consumers
League they We're assured that it was
not connected with politics. request IN
formation whether the Consumers
League is committed to woman suffrage.
and If so by whose authority this step
was taken. 1t is expected that not only
anti but all those members in sympathy
with their cause will send in their resig-
nations as members of the Consumers
League in case II has changed its char
acter from a nonpolitical to a political
organization and has committed itself to
suffrage.
. Among one of the most active members
Of the anti-sufrage association here Is
Mrs. Jessie L. Beckwith. a granddaughter
of Abraham Lincoln.

ATTACKS ALASKA RAILWAY.
Representative Ferris Says 1t II
Precursor of Constant Drain.

The House of Representatives yester.
day devoted its entire session to the con-
sideration of the bill creating a Federal.
owned railway system for Alaska. The
measure was opposed by Representative
Scott Ferris, of Oklahoma, in an ex.
tended speech. Mr.. Ferris took the posi-
tion that the openin- up of a Federal
railway 733 miles in extent would be but
the precursor of a constant drain upon
the Treasury Of the United States for
more and more railways in the territory.
He read into the record extracts from
letters of financiers acquainted with
Alaska conditions. in which IL was pre-
dicted that the entering wedge Of one
Federal railway would simply inaugurate
series of demands for more until It
would eventually be found that 10000
miles would hardly suffice.
The Alaska Railway bill probably will
occupy the attention Of the House for
three or four weeks to come. 1t holds
first place on the calendar and is there
fore the order of business for the next
several Wednesdays.
