ARBITRATION
FOR TOLLS CASE
SENATE LINING UP BEHIND SUB
STlTUTE MEASURE FOR
EXEMPTION REPEAL.
PASSAGE IS DOUBTFUL MATTER
Two-Thlrds Majority Necessary; Op
position Against Any Delay
on Account Of Opening
OF Canal.

Washington.-With the canal tolls
exemption controversy nearing vote
sentiment in the senate is growing in
favor of an effort to substitute for the
pending bill a resolution which would
provide for the submission of the dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain to an international tri-
bunal. Although senators who have
discussed this proposal are not sure
1t will win, they claim many of their
colleagues are willing to adopt this
course.
Senator O'Gorman. leader of the
forces fighting repeal. will not con-
sent to arbitration and the proposal
undoubtedly will meet with vigorous
opposition among the senators on
both sides of the issue. 1t was point
ed out, however, that before the house
passed the repeal bill President vii
son was willing that the question
should be settled by arbitration.
Two republicans and one democrat
added their voices to those who see in
arbitration the best way out OF the
difficulty Senator Sutherland made
a vigorous speech on the exemption
repeal bill, asserting that arbitration
was the one way to settle the dispute
Senator Williams announced that he
would gladly vote for II and Senator
Works agreed that this plan was de-
sirable. A resolution providing for
submission to arbitration has been
introduced by Senator Norris and may
come up for consideration before a
vote on the repeal itself is demanded.
On the republican side it developed
that Senators Root and Lodge, as
well as others prominent in the fight
for repeal, would favor arbitration.
A two-thirds vote of the senate
would be required to pass an arbitra.
tion resolution. Those opposed to the
idea pointed out that arbitration
would mean long delay and that in
the meantime the canal would be
| opened and operated and many com.
plications would arise, no matter what
the decision of the court might be.
No effsrt apparently has been made
/ on the democratic side to sound out
senators on the plan.
Democratic leaders who expected a
vote on the repeal bill next Monday
have discovered that the chance for
this hope being realized was growing
slight. Senator Jones gave motive of
his intention to speak on the repeal
bill on that day and 1t was under
stood that other senators might not
decide to speak before then.

hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus
of a railway line that leads indirectly
to Mexico City. The railroad out of
Tampico to Monterey is held by the
constitutionalists.
That the loss Of life in the capture
OF this important seaport has been

No estimate of the losses on either

MAS sUPPLANTED BY GEN. PEHA
Huerta Puts Superior Commander In
Charge Near Vera Cruz.

Washington.-News reached Wash
ington through official sources that
General Garcia Pena, one OF the high.
est ranking officers in the Mexican
federal army, had taken command OF
the forces outside Vera Cruz, super
seding General Mas.
This news caused speculation
around the state, war and navy de-
partments. Some officials were in
clined to attack special significance to
the move seeing in 1t evidence Of
Huerta's intention to strengthen his
position around the port and possibly
to assume an offensive attitude. On
the other hand. 1t was suggested that
General Mas conducted the cam
paign in such maIner as to dis
please Huerta, but It was declared
this had nothing to do with the inter-
national situation.
In this connection It was suggested
that the force driven out OF Tampico
might undertake TO march through the
mountains and eject a junction with
the army between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz. Some of those most ia
miliar with the situation, however,
thought this highly improbable. as
the railroad toward San Luis Potosi
over which the federals fed from
Tampico, is In operation for only
about 80 miles and the Journey down
the coast on foot would be impractio-
able.

OWEN SCORES
GEN. HUER1A
oKLAHoMAN sTARTLES SENATE
BY REMARKABLE SPEECH Of:
MEXICAN CRISIS.
SENATE ENDORSES PRES. POLICY
Dictator is Flayed As Cruel Assassin.
America Should Not Stop Until
Usurper 10 Deposed, Says
Speaker.

washington.-Asse that Presi-
dent Wilson was more than justified
In refusing to recognize Huerta
as president Of Mexico, and that the
United States must not turn back
until it has established constitutional
government in that republic. Senator
Owen startled the senate with a re-
markable denunciation of the Mexi-
can dictator. His speech was an in
simate history of Huerta from the
time he tore the reins of power from
the hands of Madero to the present
day. Through 1t ran the color of
blood and its story reeked with MUIR
der, intrigue and violence where in
went to silence behind prison walls
and Huerta by the force of arms and
the impelling power Of fear imposed
his will upon 100000 people.
Recites History Of Murders.
Senator owen told again the story
OF the fall of Porfirio Diaz, (the rise
of Madero, and the plot OF Huerta
and Felix Diaz, Porfiro's nephew,
which led to the overthrow and death
of Madero and put Huerta in the presi-
dents chair. He recited the uprising
of Carranza, on authority of the leg
islature of the state of Coahuila, and
told how Senator Dominguez dared
denounce Huerta to the Mexican SEN
ate, declaring that Heurta had paci-
fed the country by determination.
The senator said that shortly after
wards Dominguez disappeared and
was reported murdered. Then he told
of attempts to secure an investigation
of his death by the Mexican con-
gress, and how Huerta put the con.
gress In jail.
"Whereupon," he continued, "Hu
'erta by decree, declared himself In
vested, in fragrant violation Of the
constitution. with legislative and ju'
dicial power, in effect, military die
tator OF Mexico. Moreover he declar
ed the constitutional guarantees OF
freedom from arrest for members OF
congress abrogated: and having thus
invested himself with the legislative
and judicial powers Of Mexico he
charged almost the entire Mexican
congress with sedition and treason"
Senator Owen dwelt at some length
on the election" held for president
of Mexico on the 26th of October
1918. He said that while Huerta had
announced he would not be a candi
date, he had enlarged the powers oi
his military state governors, to cover
the election machinery. Four days
before the election, the senator said
despite formal assurances to the dip
lomats in Mexico City that he was
not q candidate, election posters were
sent broadcast urging the people tc
vote for Huerta. Huerta sent instruc
tions to his governors, said the sen
ator, to return the votes favorable tc
him and not to return more than 0
certain part OF the precincts, thus in
suring void election. This program
he said was carried out in every de
tail, and the Mexican congress, discov
ering that less than half the voting
precincts had sent In returns, de
clared the election void and expressed
a desire that Huerta continue as pro
visional president
"Huerta," he added dramatically
"still is Dictator"

Vests Advice
DiSregarded

Salem, Ore, Feb. 9.-The decision
of the government to bring suit to
dissolve the Southern Pacific and
Central Pacific railroad lines is final
and will be instituted without delay
for further hearings, according to a
telegram received Saturday by Gov
ernor West from United States At
torney General McReynolds.
Governor West wired President
Wilson several days ago asking that
the suit be delayed until an investi-
cation in Oregon could be made, de-
claring that he believed the proposed
dissolution would he harmful rather
than helpful to the development Of
the state.
In his message Attorney General
McReynolds stated that in his opin-
ion the control of the Central Pacific
by the Southern Pacific constitutes a
violation of the antitrust act and
that no other course was open to him
but to bring suit to dissolve it.

Held Hearing
On Homestead

The hearing of the contest on II.
S. Palmerlee's homestead was held
before J. A. Lemery Friday and Sat
urday of last week. A number OF
witnesses were heard on both sides,
Forest Ranger Gribble and others be-
ing called by the government, while
Mr.. Sargent of the U. S. forest insect
field work testified in behalf of Mr..
Palmerlee, as did many of his neigh
bors and others.
Earl c. Arnold, assistant solicitor
of the u. S. Agricultural Department.
and Harvey j. Bond, special agent of
the general land office, both with
headquarters at Portland, were in at
tendance on the hearing.
Mr.. Arnold states that an errone-
Gus report has gotten abroad that
| the forest rangers are making un-
favorable reports upon homesteads.
He states that the rangers simply re-
port conditions as they find them,
that they recommend neither for or
against the homestead, but simply
| perform their sworn duty to report
conditions as they find them. 1t is
stated that the testimony of Mr.. Crib
BILE was fully as favorable to Mr..
Palmerlee as to the government.
While of course no one connected
with the hearing would make any
statement as to the probable outcome,
the feeling was that Mr.. Palmerlee
would win.
