PO|NCARE GIVES HIS TESTIMONY ON
 CALMETTE KILLING

Paris, April 6-President Poincare' < deposition in connection with the inquiry into the killing of Gaston Calmette, edi-
 tor of Figaro, by Mme Caillaux, was handed to NJ Boucard, ;ne Investigating magistrate, by the chief clerk of the court of appeals who accompanied M F'orichon, president of the court to Ely see palace yesterday. and took down the
 Presidents words. A copy of the docu- mont was also sent to M. Labori, coun- gel for Mime. Caillaux.
 President Poincare's testimony had to do with visit which Joseph Caillaux paid him the morning of the tragedy, at which time the President and the then minister of finance discussed the
 campaign which M. Calmette was con-
 ducting against NJ. Cailaux. In his de- position. the President says that he was
 condition of M. Caillaux, upon whom all his reasoning seemed to be intellectual that he finally advised him to see M Bernard, who had acted for him in his divorce proceedings. N. Bernard was d friend of NJ. Calmette and would, be in a position to ascertaia if M. Caillaux's suspicious were justified, and, if SO,
 might be able to stop the threatened publication of M Caillaux's private let ters.
 The minister thanked the President, but said he would be engaged all aft ernoon in the Senate. and would be un- able to see M Bernard
 President Poncare then remarked that M. Bernard was an old friend of his, and that he expected him to call at the Ely
 see palace that afternoon. He promised to speak to him, which he did. M. Bernard agreed to see both Gail laux and Calmette. although he was of the same opinion as the President that M. Calmette was incapable of publish 1 ing the letters. The President learned later that M. Bernard did see M Gail laux at the close of tn. afternoon after it was too late.

1 brought here by General Lulalio Cutler
 reg commander of rebel forces in .he
 state of San Luis Potosi
 We have expelled every Spaniard from that part of the state which we con trol,' said the general today, and we control all of it except the capital and the city of Matehuala. Tn the state ot zacatecas, where General Panfilo Natera
 has possession of all territory north of
 the capital, the same course has been followed. I estimate that nearly 10OI Spaniards have been deported from these two states in the last two months" Every consideration has been shown them, General Gutierrez said. They have
 been given plenty of time to carry away
 with them their household effects and other possessions, but not one has been permitted to remain inside the rebel lines.
 Justification for the wholesale depor-
 tation, it is said. is found by the in- surgent chiefs in article 8 of the Mexican eonsttution-the famous "Pernicious for elgner law, which gives Mexican authori-
 ties the right to deport undesirable aliens.
 General Gutierrez followed up his story Of the Spanish exodus by a threat against the Jesuits in Mexico, And the Jesuits come next" he said. Already, it was learned, numbers of Catholic priests have been forced to leave the country in which the Gutierrez men are operating. Many of the deported priests were said to be Spaniards, but number were of Mexican descent.

News Not Published

Mexico City, April 6.-Another day passed Withou a line of published news indicating the loss of Torreon and the government reiterates it's denials. It has even requested the banks to post copies of telegrams from Laredo and Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, asserting that Generals De Moure and Maas have ar rived at Torreon and are completing the rout of the rebels, alleged to have been begun by General Velasco
 No evidence beyond these telegrams Is offered in substantiation of the gov ernments statements.
 It is suggested that the government IS endeavoring to keep the news of the Tall of Torreon from the public until It can mobilize another army east of that town. There has beenl heavy movement of troops from San Luis Po- tosf toward Saltillo and by the end of the week strong federal forces should De at Saltillo and west of that place, with the vanguard not far from Tor reon.

PLANS FOR SOLVING INDUSTRIAL PEACE QUESTION DISCUSSED
Widely Divergent Views Ex- pressed Before U. s. Com mission on Industrial
 Relations at Hearing

Washington. April 6.-widely divergent views on the benefits of collective bar gaining in solving labor disputes. with criticism and defense of union labor, were given here today before the United States commission on industrial relations at the first of series of hearings to determine the best method to bring about , industrial peace The witnesses heard were John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America. Frank Peabody of Chicago, a mine opera tor; Frank J. Hayes vice president of the United Mine Workers, and O. P. Briggs of Chicago, former president of the National Founders association.
 MT. Peabody criticized the present trade agreements in force between mine opera tors and workers in Illinois, saying they were based on artificial conditions, and not on the earning capacity of the miners. He advocated the establishment of a board of arbitration decided on between operators and miners to decide contro- yersies.
 PeabOdy's Views
 Both Mir. Peabody and Mir Mitchell ad- Vocated allowing the operators to com bine to fix prices. Mr Mitchell adding that this should be done under proper government supervision. In the Illinois coal fields D per cent of tfe coal mines are insolvent at the present time accord- ing to MT. Peabody. who declared that the operators did not get along because they did not organize as well as the miners.
 Miners labor unions We're defended by MT Hayes, who said conditions were much better in the coal fields where miners are organized. The miners were not organized in the Connellsvlle field of Pennsylvania. he said, because of the 'murderous system of the operators, who employ large number of gunmen under the name of guards and dominate the political situation, keeping the workers in the condition of slaves" He added that the miners have offered to arbitrate many strikes, but that the offers have been refused by the operators.
 Socialism Takes Hold
 Of socialism the witness said it had gotten quite hold. but had no domina t. ing influence among the miners. The In dustrial Workers of the World, he said, was discouraged and it's aims were totally different from the aims of the miners organization.
 MT. Briggs told of negotiations between the Founders organization and the moul- ders, and criticized the American Federa- tion of Labor and unions connected with it.
 T believe" he said there have been more increases in wages and better work ing conditions brought about through the personal dealings between employers and employees than through labor unions. The closed shop is d derriment."
 The hearings are to be continued to- morrow when representatives of the moulders union and clothing employees and employees will be heard.

Redmond Waxes Eloquent

The speeches today were generally much more conciliatory in tone than those which marked the bils earlier passages John E. Redmond, the national leader, who opened the debate, again held out the olive branch to Ulster in a speech of great eloquence but insisted that it was impossible for him and his colleagues to agree to the permanent exclusion of Ulster and to abandon the principle of Ireland a nation
 Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition leader though protesting in certain pas- sages of his speech to see hardly any hope of a peaceful settlement and predict ing that civil war was certain if the gov ernment persisted in pushing the bill through, declared that he and his col leagues would gladly accept a proposal for the renewal of the conversations with the government leaders, but feared that nothing would come of it.
 Birrell Most Optimistic
 Augustine Birrell. chief secretary for Ireland was most optimistic. Despite all adverse criticism he was certain that great progress had been made towards peaceful settlement, and civil war, he de- clared, was impossible.
 The second reading of the home rule bill was carried the first time by a ma jorty of 10l and the second time by a majority of s.

Asquth took no part in the voting as he recently resigned to stand for reelection on his taking the secretaryship for war. Sir Edward Greys s departure from London is said to have no political significance, as he Is taking holiday, which he arranged for sometime ago
 A large gathering of Irshmen, all carry ing green flags, assembled outside Parlia- ment tonight to celebrate the passage of the bill.
