Would Exclude Hindus.

Washington, July 1S,-Proposed
legislation affecting the entry of Hin
dus into the United States was be-
fore the house committee on immigra-
tion for consideration today. Efforts
had been made several times recent
ly for a meeting of the committee
without success, because of a lack of
quorum.
Among the bills before the COM
mittee today was one by Representa-
tive Church of California to exclude
Hindus and others. 1t is designed as
a compromise to meet western oppo
sition to influx of Japanese, Chinese.
Hindus and other Asiatics.
Representative Burnett of Alabama,
chairman of the committee, is dis
posed not to raise the issue of Jap
anese exclusion at this time on the
ground that there is no necessity for
action. He, however, is in favor of
keeping out the Hindus and was ready
to urge their exclusion before the
committee today. He declared that
no legislation was contemplated af-
fecting the japanese or Chinese, be-
cause he said they We're being kept
out.

Chicago, July 18.--Big business
and little business, industrial and
commercial, already are beginning to
feel the effect of the record crops
promised by the American farmer.
Money is beginning to circulate
more freely, jobs left vacant through
the period of "watchful waiting" are
being filled and transactions involv-
ing millions of dollars, which have
been permitted for months to hang
fire, are being closed daily.
The biggest immediate reflection Of
the bumper crops is shown by the
railroads. Car manufacturers and
railway officials throughout the
country are increasing their operat-
ing forces and the working time at
their plants.
Another thing besides the crops
which is causing jubilation in the
railroad world is the belief that with
the settlement of the per cent ad-
vance freight rate case this week
confidence will be restored to such
a degree that transportation condi-
tions will return to normal.
The Inland Steel Company, the IL
linois Steel Company, the Pullman
Company and other great industrial
corporations of Illinois have observed
a buoyancy in their markets, but the
concrete results have not yet reached
them with full force
Actual orders with these industrl-
al concerns have increased some with
greater promise held out for the
near future, when it is expected thou
sands more workers will be needed.
Three hundred more men were put to
work in the freight department of
the Standard Steel Car Company's
plant at Hammond, Ind, last week,
raising the total number now en-
ployad to 1000 Prospects are said
to be good for the placing of another

Huerta Reaches Ocean,
Fleeing From Mexico

Puerto Mexico, July 1S.-General
Victor:ano Huerta, accompanied by
Sir Lionel Garden and guarded by
$500 of his faithful soldiers, arrived
here late yesterday afternoon after
9 leisurely journey from Terra Blan-
ca, in the state of Vera Cruz.
He did not leave there until 6
o'clock, but no orders were given to
make up for lost time and the train
1umbled along as usual, one troop
train preceding and one following.
Precautions were taken against sur
prise by bodies of revolutionists who
might have heard of Huerta's depar-
ture from Mexico City.
The most amazing episode of the
flight from the capital was the So
journ of the former dictator at TERRA
Blanca. This town is the center of
district through which small bodies
of constitutionalist soldiers are con-
stantly passing. Relying either upon
the protection of the British minis
ter or the prowess of his troops, HUI
erta passed the night there with no
apparent concern for the possibilities
Of his situation
Meanwhile Sonora Huerta and the
members of her family had been
taken aboard the British cruiser Bris-
tol, where they were afforded every
convenience that warShip can Of
fer.
Several members of the party spent
the night on cots placed on the deck
under awnings. They seemed to en-
JOY the experience, and their only
concern was over the delayed arrival
Cf General Huerta.
Lying at anchor a short distance
from the Bristol is the German
cruiser Dresden, on which it is be-
lieved Huerta will take his leave.
Jamaica is his rumored destination
for the present. Huerta is said to
have mentioned that port several
times during discussions Of what he
would possibly do should he be
forced to leave Mexico. 1t is pointed
out by those aboard ship he% thai
the former dictator could go there
and then transfer to a trans-At-
lantic steamship without attractign
the attention which he would in Ha-
vana. There are also reports that

there are being bred a great many
