SPANISH EXPULSION CONTINUES
Northern and Central Mexico Thor
 oughIy Cleared.

Juarez. Mexico, April 6.-Northern and central Mexico. it is said, are be- ing thoroughly cleared of Spanish res idents by the conStitutiOnaESts- The latest news of wholesale expulslon o- S,paniards was brought here by Gen eral Euialio Gutierrez, commander of rebel forces in the state of San Luis PotOsi.
 we have expelled every Spaniard from that part of the state which we control,'' said the general today, and we control all of it except the capital and the city of Matehuala. In the state of Zacatecas, where General Panfilo Natera has possession Of all territory north of the capital, the same course has been followed. l estimate that nearly 1000 Spaniards have been deported from these two states ln the last two months"
 Every consideration has been shown them, General Gutierrez said They have been given plenty of time to car " away with them their household effects and other possessions, but nor one has been permitted to remain ln- side the rebel lines.
 Justification for the wholesale de- portation, it is said, is found by the insurgent chiefs in article B of the Mexican onstitution-the famous "pernicious foreigner law-whicla gives Mexican authorities the right to deport undesirable aliens.
 General Gutierrez followed up hls 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 Gutter reg men are operating. Many of the Spaniards, but a number were of Mexican descent

|rishmen Cheer
 for Home Rule
AMENDMENT FOR ITS REJECTION
 DEFEATED IN COMMONS.
OVATION TO MEMBERS
John Redmond Holds Out Olive Branch
 to Ulster, but Antagonizes Its Ex- s puIsion..

London, April 6.-By a majority of eighty, an amendment for the rejec- ton of the home rule bill was defeated in the house of commons tonight and without division the bill was given for the third time it's second reading in the house.
 The announcement of the figures evoked louder cheers from the Oppo- sition than from the nationalists, the opposition interpreting them as grati- flying proof of a dwindling government majority. But the diminution is ac- counted for to some extent by the abstention from voting of the O'Brien- ties.
 Speeches of Conciiiatory Tone.
 The speeches today were generally much more conciliatory in tone than those which marked the bilrs earlier passages. John E. Redmond, the na- tlonalfSt leader, who opened the de- bate, again held out the olive branch to Ulster in a speech of great eIo- quence, but insisted that it was inn possible for him and his colleagues to agree to the permanent exclusion of Ulster and to abandon the principle of Ireland Nation.
 Andrew Bonar Law. the opposition leader. though protesting, in certain passages of his speech, to see hardly any hope of a peaceful settlement and predicting that civil war was certain
 
 ing the bill through, declared that he and his colleagues would gladly accept a proposal for the renewal of the con- Versattons with the government lead CTS, but feared that nothing would come of it.
 Augustine Birrell. chief secretary for Ireland, was most optimistic. Despite all adverse criticism, he was certain that great progress had been made towards a peaceful settlement and civil war, he declared, was impossible.
 The second reading of the home rule bill was carried the first time by a majority of 101 and the second time by majority of 9S. Tonight eight O'Brienftes abstained from voting and two Liberals voted against the govern ment. One Nationalist was absent through illness. Three Laborites also were absent and Charles F. c. Mas terston, who had previously as mem Der of the government, lost his seat in the election for Bethnal Green last February
 Sir Edward Grey's departure from Londons has no political significance. He is merely taking a holiday for which he arranged some time ago.
 Demonstration Outside Parliament.
 A large gathering of Irishmen. all carrying green flags, assembled out side parliament tonight to celebrate the passage of the bill. They cheered wildly when the result of the vote was announced and gave ovations to the members of the government and the Nationalist leaders as they left the house.

 REPEAL OF TOLL BILL
Asks for Records of Hay-Pauneefote
 Treaty.

Washington, April 6.-PublicitY for the deliberations on the bill to repeal toll exemption for American ships passing through the Panama canal was decided upon today by the senate com mittee on interoceanic canals, which tomorrow will begin consideration of the subject Ae
 Senator McCumbers argument was one of the most extensive yet present. ed in the senate on either side of the controversy. He talked for three and a half hours virtually without inter ruption and at the conclusion of his speech he appealed to all right think ing men in the senate to support the lofty stand the president has taken, regardless of party or political ex- pediency." The galleries broke into ap- plause as Senator McCumber sat down and half a dozen democratic senators crossed the senate chamber to con- graduate him.
 Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, at the conclusion of Senator McCuIn- ber's address, today introduced a res olution requesting the president, if not incompatible with the public interest, to give the senate all information, rec ords and correspondence relating to negotiations of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

"OTHER EXPENSES.
 OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
Massachusetts Public Service Commis. sion Finds Much to Disapprove.

Boston, April 6.-The public service commission today made its report to the governor on it's investigation of certain "other expenses" of the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road in this state.
 'sThe main objects of the investiga- tion have been accomplished by the publicity incident thereto" the report says. The improper relations between the New Haven and some of the state dealt with by the house of representa- tives through an amendment to it's rule sprohtbiting legislative reporters from representing applicants for legis- Iation.
 NO extended comment is necessary on those persons who were shown to be involved in any of the vicious prac- tfces which this public investigation has effectually killed"
 The report critcizes specifically an expenditure of s7.S0O by the New Ha- ven flor the purpose of distributing copies of a publication issued on Dec 191, 1912, containing an utterly false and misleading statement to the effect that the validation commission of 1910 had found the value of the New Ha- ven railroads assets to be $101, ,0oQ, 900 more than its liabilities" The commits sion says that "to publish or to author ize the expenditure of funds of Q pub lie service corporation for publishing statements, known to be false and mis- leading, concerning official findings as to public service corporations, should be made a criminal misdemeanor
 '"The voucher system of the New Haven railroad" he rerort goes on, lis entirely inadequate and inaccurate. It should be so reformed that the voucher will show with substantial accuracy the nature of the service rendered, and also show what official is really re- sponsible for the expenditure author ized. The mere multiplication of off, cia1 names upon vouchers serves but to hide or destroy real responsibility"

 Mrs. Dohl, who testified at the morn ing session concerning the alleged inn proper proposal. went on the stand in the afternoon and told of visit paid her last Friday by Ephralm Hill, who appeared fer Dr. Price as a character witness.
