committee have completed a war
revenue bill. 1t provides for tax
of 8 per cent on all freight transpor-

| MEXICO CITY, Sept 12.-This
morning President Carranza an
nounced that General Villa was in
entire harmony with and subordi-
nate to the present government. Nor
NAL conditions are gradully being
resumed in this city and the resi-
dents are again at peace. And among
Mexicans today, not only here, but
throughout the different states, the
Americans stand higher than ever
before; higher than do people of any
other foreign nationality. The
truth is out, now that Huerta has
gone. One finds, at every turn, that
the MeXicans approve of the plan
which the United States has fol-
| lowed in Mexico. When Huerta
| killed Madero the. common people of
Mexico were unutterably shocked,
but Huerta silenced them. 1t was
with secret joy that millions of
Mexicans learned that Huerta would
not be recognized by the United
States.
SEATTLE, Sept. General pri-
maries were held yesterday through
out the state. In the Republican
ranks there was no opposition to the
denomination of Wesley L. Jones Tor
United States senator. There was a
big fight on in the Democratic party
over the Office of senator. The vote
is close between George Turner,
Judge Black and George Cotterill.
The. probabilities are that neither
will have enough to nominate and
that Black will win because of his
large number of second choice votes.
1t will probably take two days to de-
eide the contest. For the Progress
sive nomination for senator it looks
as though Ole Hanson was defeated
by j. A. Falconer, at present a repre-
sentative in Congress. For Congress,
in the First District, w. E. Hum
phreys isarenominated. by the Re-
publicans: ]. W. Bryan by the pro-
gressives and W. H. Moore by the
Democrats. They are all from
Seattle. For sheriff of King County
the nominees are John w. Roberts,
Republican, and Bob Hodges, pro-
gressive. For prosecuting attorney
the successful candidates are Fred
10. Brown, Republican,; 1. Nelson,
Democrat and Alfred Lundin, Pro-
gressiye.
