 Washington, April 21.-Action by the army and navy of the United States to force Huerta to salute the American flag was held up early to- day through opposition in the Senate to the form of the joint resolution ap- proving President Wilson's purposes, as it passed the House last night. A recess of the Senate was taken at 12:2S a. m. until noon today.
 The President, while stating in his message to Congress that he has full constitutional authority to act, is waiting for Congress to express it's approval before ordering Tampico and Vera Cruz to be seized and other steps taken looking to reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico.
 In a spectacular midnight session, the Senate discussed the House reso- lution briefly. Senators objected to individualizing Huerta and substi- ute resolution was agreed upon by the foreign relations committee giving the President broad authority to deal with indignities offered the United States in Mexico "in view of the situation as presented by the President in his message"
 Wilson Retires Early
 President Wilson had retired early but Secretary Tumulty Secretary Gar rison, Postmaster General Burleson and NVice President Marshall, Acting Chair man Shively and other administration leaders conferred on the substitute resolution
 Senator Lodge presented a substitute for the preamble of the resolution re- ported by the committee which he win seek to have adopted tomorrow.

 On motion of Senator Shively the Senate recessed until f2:10 o'clock to- night to await il report from the com mittee on foreign relations. to which the resolution was referred.
 Deathly Silence
 Jerry South. chief clerk of the House. read the resolution in the Senate dur ing death-like stiffness.
 Senator shively, acting chairman of the foreign relations committed. asked for immediate consideration of the resolution. Senator Lodge objected.
 MT. President" said Senator Lodge T think that a resolution of this importance should take the regu- lar course and be referred to the for eign affairs committed"
 Ssnator Shively urged that Mir. Lodge withdraw his objection to the present consideration. but the latter de- clared that. without wishing to delay consideration either on the floor or in the committee he must insist on the resolution going to the committee. Then at Senator Shively's request the Senate adjourned until 12.l0 o'clock to allow the foreign relations com mittee to consider the resolution
 Delay Avoided
 Following adjournment. which Is equivalent to recess, the foreign re- lations committee immediately wen. into session. By adjourning until after midnight the danger of another tech- nical objection forcing delay was avoided
 large number Of members of the House had followed the clerk to the Senate with the resolution and crowd ed the rear of the chamber as the Sen ate resumed its session. By the time a quorum was secured with 62 members both floor and galleries were crowded.
 After considering the resolution two hours the Senate committee adjourned

ALAbAM|ANS WILL SEE SERVICE IN CASE
 WAR IS DECLARED
In Both Navy and Army Are Sons of State Ready to Obey the Orders
 of Uncle Sam
By c. E. STEWART

Washington, April 2o-(special.) ) President Wilson's message to Con gross and his message to the people through the newspaper men sr. the White House this morning was pacific and contained note of optimism. The President is going to try to avoid war. His optimism, however. is not shared by many of the leaders in Congress. That the mailed fist of Uncle Sam must be used vigorously in Mexico Is now all most the unanimous opinion in Wash ington, and the conservatism of the Presidents message was to many a disappointment.
 Alabama Will Figure
 At any rate the present programme is to use the navy only. Alabamians who will figure in the naval demonstra- ton against Mexico are Commander Raymond Stone. assigned to the battle ship New Jersey. and appointed to Ann apolis from Mobile. and Commander Richardson Harrison Jackson, a member of the general board. and appointed from Tuscumbia On the battieship Michigan now steaming 10 Tampico Is Lieut.. Com. Duncan Mahon Wood. who was appointed to the acs any from the Sixth district David French Boyd was appointed from Alabama, but his resi- dence is in Louisiana, where he was born.

Com Hilery Herbert Royal. who received his appointment from the Sixth dis trict; Lieut. William P. GaGdes. ap- pointed from Wetulnpka, Ala. is with the Pacific fleet and assigned to col Her. The navy department declares that he will probably be ordered into Mexican waters. Junior Officer Harold Jones of Alabama is connected with the Mare Island navy yard.

WITH BOOTS AND
 SADDLES AT SIDES
 CAVALRYMEN SLEEP

Ei Pnso. April 2O.-.LittIe Chihun- hun." as the Mexican section of this city Is known. and where 60 per cent of the inhabitants of the city reside. is being pntroIIed tonight by United states eavaIrymen nnd infantrymen.
 This and other precautionary measures were determined on late today at con ference between Mayor Kelly and Col. c. A. P Hatfield commanding the troops at Fort Bliss.
 At the army post the cavalrymen were ordered to sleep with boots and saddles at their sides, and it is said they could be up and away in case of an alarm in less than five minutes.
 At Juarez, Colonel Avila, the military commander instructed that any soldier or civilian making wanton or provocative use of firearms should be shot at once. He is determined, as are the American authorities, to use every preeaution against provoking an outbreak while feel ing is at the present high tension
 Agree on Details
 Colonel Hatfield and Mayor Kelly agreed on many details for the co-opera- tion of soldiers and police in case of an outbreak and they will know just what to do in case of incendiarism. rioting or attacks on the water supply or other public utilities.
 Meanwhile the city was quiet. The situation is a reaction from the months of anxiety felt here and along the bor der and the first excitement over, Presi- dent Wilson's definite action tended to compose rather than tax the nerves of those whose fortunes are wrapped up in the future condition of Mexico.
 rba nth In for outbreaks among the people, particularly in Fl Paso It is drought that should Irresponsible Mexicans attempt reprlsals, these would take in the smaller settle ments along the Rio Grande, where the Mexican population outnumbers the Amer jeans four to one.
 No Real Anxiety
 There Is no real anxiety here over the situation. although stories are smilingly told of timid women who are known to be secreting their valuables. There are in this city and along the river subject to call 10000 troops available for instant action. as follows:
 Headquarters and second squadron fif- teenth cavalry with machine gun platoon; seven troops and machine gun platoon of the Thirteenth cavalry, first squadron. Twelfth cavalry; the Twentieth infantry with machine gun platoon, Battery c, Sixth Field artillery and Company of the signal corps. In addition the Ninth and Tenth cavalry regiments could ba brought here from Douglas and Fort Huachuca. Ark. within A hours.

SITUATION FROM
 MEXICAN VIEWPOINT GIVEN BY MINISTER

Mexico City. Mex. April 20.--PortlllO announcing that It would he impossible to agree to the demand of the United states that the flag of that country be unconditionaIIy saiuted. gave out today the following statement; "On April 9 between II and noon and u boat without an American flag anI with nine marines and one officer landed at a point called the Beach of Inturblde in Tampico, Colonel Raymond Hinojosa, who has charge of defending that point detained the marines and officer He con ducted them to the presence of the gem eral who had command of the fort, Ig- nacio Morelos Zaragoza.
 ''1t should be remembered that at this time the port not only was under militia control. but was withstanding an attack by rebels.
 General Zaragoza immediately and without even Investigating the case put the marines and the officer at liberty. placed Einojosa in prison. and sent an apology to Rear Admiral Mayo, the com nlander of the American vessels.
 Thought Incident Closed
 We thought the incident was closed, but unfortunately this was not so, be- cause Mayo sent to him sometime aft- erward an ultimatum wherein he asked that a second apology be presented to him by the staff of the chief of the fort General Zaragoza, that the American flag be hoisted at public place in Tampico ard sauted by 21 guns, and besides the severe punishment of Hinojosa, stipulat- ing that all this be done within 24 hours.
 "The term was later extended when diplomatic pourparlors were begun be- tween the subtreasury secretary of for eign affairs in Mexico, the minister be- ing absent at that date, and continued until now
 'The President of Mexico when in- formed of the case, ordered another in- ve stigation of the facts and the punish ment of the guilty officer if 1t were proved he was blameworthy. He also authorized the minister of foreign affairs to express regret on account of the inci- dent. When he became aware that the American government supported the re- quest of Admiral Mayo relative to the salute of the American 1Iag. which had not been insulted, he proposed to show his good will toward tn, American 2eo- pie, though he did not think that such a request was just, proposing that the flags of the two nations be hoisted and saluted reciprocally and simultaneously.

Jap Makes Record

Four years ago Mr.. Kuryma, a
japanese. produced the record eanta-
loupe crop in Crowley county. He
raised the pink meat variety which is
now exclusively raised in this county.
Mr.. Kuryma is great student Of agri-
culture and he has given the grow
ing of cantaioupes much study and
attention. II is said that he was so
intent on producing large crop that
year that he almost ate his meals
and slept in his fields. His efforts
won for him the name he was after
besides filling his purse with an extra
supply of money at the end of the
season, and it was worth the effort.
There are several other japanese
who have grown the pink meat eanta-
loupe in Crowley county with great
deal of success. Mr.. Kruyma will
plant IS acres to, eantaloupes this
coming season.

ent to that gained by the raising of

can all be had in Crowley county
The soil is fertile in the extreme, the
sunshine comes at the right time, for
the number Of clear days in this sec
ton Of the country is second to but
one other part of the United States.
and there is the water from an irri-
CATION supply that insures water dur
ing the growing season. Those who
wish to prove this statement may
search the country over and they
will not find conditions that excel
those of Crowley county and it is
doubtful if they will find conditions
that even rank in our class. Yields
of celery. onions, tomatoes, cucum-
bers. asparagus, cabbage. and many
other vegetables can make returns
of $500 and upwards per acre.

from talks with many Of them it will
be given even more attention from
year to year. This is true OF all the
fertile irrigated districts of the state
and as an incentive for this work
breeders should exhibit at the county
and state fairs wherever it is pos
sible. No where is there better

Altitude Is 1900

There is no altitude more suited
to the human race than that ranging
from 1000 to 45O0. Crowley county's
altitude being 4300 makes it the ideal
place for one to make home, If eli
mate is one of the things they de-
sire to take into consideration. 1t is
claimed that the altitude as it varies
from the Kansas state line to the
foothills of the Rocky mountains on
the west of Crowley county, is the
most healthful that can be found in
any part of the. United States. While
there are few who come to this sec
ton of the state for the benefit of
their health, those who do come for
that reason find it an ideal spot. Many
who come here with view of going
into business either in town or on
the farm, find that they feel so much
better here than they did where they
formerly lived in the east that they
wonder if there might have been some
ailiment from which they were suf-

Nearly 100 Autos

There are nearly 100 automobiles
in Crowley county. This number does
not seem to be very great yet When
it is remembered that the entire dis
trict settled in the county is compare
lively new and the irrigated district
covering. but $1,000 acres, it is to be
seen that the number ranks we'll with
other counties.
At the rate cars are being purchased
it will not be long until there are
more of them in proportion to the
population than in other counties.
Besides many who have desire to
purchase cars for pleasure there will
soon be great many trucks in" use
for all manner Of purposes among
agriculturists.
The citizens of Crowley do not
propose to be behind in anything.
and now that roads throughout the
county are becoming so good under
better care they will not be behind
in the use of automobiles very long.
The farmers necessarily have to
keep teams for farm use more than
those in districts where different
kind of crop is raised. A rancher
producing alfalfa cannot very we'll
dispense with his hay wagons while
the one in an exclusive fruit raising
district finds he can keep an /auto
to better advantage than he can
teams and wagons, but Just give
Crowley county little more time
and she will outrank them all with
autos as she does everything else.

The postage stamp first made it's appearance in 1889. Its inventor was James Chalmers, a printer of Dundee, who died in 1853. England adopted the adhesive stamp in 1889, and issued the first stamps for the use of the public in 1S40. A year later stamps were introduced into the United States and Switzerland, and soon aft erward made their appearance in France, Belgium and Bavaria.
