VOTERS HEARD FROM
Democratic Policy Condemned in
Vigorous Manner.
Strong Indication That the People
Only Await Opportunity to Turn
the Reins of Government Over
to the Republicans.

The president asked the voters OF
the Seventh New Jersey district to
show their judgment with regard to
the present administration" They
showed it, and expressed themselves
adversely by two to one. In a poll OF
$1,000 votes, the Republican candidate
received within a few hundred of
majority over all. He had more than
two to one over his Democratic oppo
nent, who had less than two hundred
votes more than the Social candidate,
The Bull Mooser limped in with only
some six hundred to his credit In the
entire district. In word, the result
was a Republican landslide.
! Several things contributed. We may
believe that the canal tolls issue was
one. That came in late, but in time.
Expressions from the candidates were
sought. The Republican declared foi
free tolls, the Democrat against.
But prior to and above that was the
tariff. New Jersey is manufacturing
stronghold. and has repeatedly voted
for protection. The probability is that
In contest based exclusively on that
issue the state would vote two to one
for the American policy
The Underwood tariff, while carry
ing measure of protection in certain
lines, is the first step in declared pol
icy to abolish protection as rapidly as
possible. Continued Democratic con
troll is conceded to mean other tariff
revisions downward, with no certainty
of check until approximate free trade
is reached.
Evidently Jersey disapproves of such
procedure. Business in the Seventh
district, as elsewhere, is depressed
partly as the result of the attack or
protection. Industry is halted, as
much by reason of what has been done
as what is threatened; and the voters
overwhelmingly, registered a forma
protest. 1t was expected. and it ar
rived.

REFUGEES ENTRAIN

Vera Cruz, April 29.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher was advised by telegraph
from Mexico City that several train
loads of refugees were ready to leave
the capital.
Consul Canada was advised by the
Brazilian minister at Mexico City that
the embargo in Americans at the
capital had been entirely raised and
that they were free to depart as they
pleased.
The American consul also ascer-
tanned that the women among the
refugees detained at Cordoba had
been removed to hotels.
The women still are experiencing
difficulty in procuring food, but their
condition is said to have been ma
terially improved.
1t is expected that many of the
Americans who had been held at
Obizaba will reach Vera Cruz on a
train, the arrival of which is awaited
hourly. A train left this port to meet
the downbound train.

turn from a visit in Springfield. They
left the child on the car and did not
notice the fact until the car had

A telephone message to Bellefon-

conductor was asked to look after the
child. He had accepted the charge
even before he got the message and
carried the little sleeper through to
Lima and back to Urbana, where he
delivered it safely to its anxious
parents.

mayor on two occasions, when she
called upon him in connection with
legal matters, attacked her. The days
developments were featured by mer-
ciless grilling of Mrs. Aldrich and
her husband Attempts were made by
the defense to show that Mayor Red

the part of the Aldriches to extort
money from him.
Mayor Redmond was on the stand
a short time and denied that he ever
made any advances towards Mrs.
Aldrich. He denied her story that he
had attempted to caress her when
she called upon him at his Office. He
also denied that he had forced his

often, but only in business way as
he had drawn up petition of divorce
for her, which was later withdrawn

Urue Halt in Operations.

Washington, April 30.-An armistice
in the difficulties between the United
States and Mexico has been asked of
the South American envoys who have
undertaken to avert war through medi-
tation.
Ambassador da Cana, of Brazil, yes
terday notified Secretary Bryan that
this had been determined upon as the
next step in the negotiations and that
General Huerta also had been notified.
The proposal for an armistice was
communicated to President Wilson
from the state department by tele-
phone. Though no announcement has
been made it was authoritatively
learned that this government would
accept the conditions provided assur-
ances are given that, in addition to a
halt in military operations, there
would be no civil uprising aginst
American citizens or other 'untoward"
incidents which might prevent peace.
Washington, April 30-The scope of
mediation plans for the settlement Of
the Mexican crisis was suddenly
broadened last night so as to include
the entire range of Mexican affairs
not alone the critical issue, between
the United States and the Huerta
regime, but also the. conflict between
the elements of northern and southern
Mexico which have rent the republic
for many months. This signal en-
largement of the mediation program
followed the receipts, late in the day
of formal acceptance by General
Carranza, chief of the constitutional

In Fear of conoress.

One of the burdens borne by busi-
ness is the fear of congress. The
fight over the Panama canal tolls
question has been delaying the work
of the house, and the senate will be
much more seriously hampered by
this issue. 1t is one of the reasons
why predictions are made freely in
Washington that final adjournment
will not come before the middle of
summer.
That prospect is bad for trade and
industry. 1t is a check upon construc,
tive enterprise, 1t interferes with
many plans for commercial expansion
The country is disposed to wait for
the lawmakers at Washington to get
through with their tasks and their ex-
periments and go home.

FLETCHER SEXES
TERMINAL PLANT

Vera Cruz, April 30.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher seized the piers, yards ana
buildings of the terminal company, a
British owned concern, control over
which he regarded as necessary III
order to facilitate the resumption OF
normal business activity of the Guy.
The admiral had been endeaVorlng 10
rent the property, but could not come
to an agreement with the managers as
to the price to be paid. The manage
ment quoted a figure which the naVal
authorities considered exorb1tant ana
Admiral Fletcher ended the contro-
versy by taking advantage OF his pow
ers under martial law and assuming
possession of the property. The selz-
ure was made with no other formallty
than the announcement that Admiral
Fletcher was in control of the prop
erty.
Prior to the seizure high official OF
the company had British flag raised
over the water station far out in the
yards, in the belief that such action
might prevent the Americans from TAX
| ing over the property. 1t availed him
nothing, however. M. Moorcom, man
ager, of the Mexican railway, and
president of the terminal company,
called on Rear Admiral Cradock, of
the British cruiser Essex and related
the circums tances to him. The ad-
miral advised Mr.. Moorcom to pre-
sent his claims to the British foreign
office. The terminal company is a
British concern, most of the stock OF
which is owned by the railroads, two
of which. the Interoceanic and the
Mexican, are British owned. For the
operation of the property the military
authorities are using railroad men
who have just arrived at Vera Cruz
and who offered their services in any
capacity.
Within His Rights.
London, April 29.-The seizure by
Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher of the
property of the British owned terminal
company at Vera Cruz is accepted by
the British foreign office as quite
within the admiraTs rights. Officials
here regard the admirals action al
coming within the ordinary routine O
such circumstances. 1t was stated tha

claim to the British foreign office i
will be forwarded to Washington il

No. a Democratic Policy.

The privilege accorded owners o.
vessels constructed in foreign ship
building yards to register them under
the American flag has not proved a
tempting bait Nothing will accomplish
the restoration of the American mer
chant marine by the placing of Ameri-
can sailors on the same level as those
of other countries, and If Wilson's ad
ministration can bring about that re-
suit it will be accomplished. There is
one other way. subsidization, but the
Democrats are as much opposed to
that course as they are to permitting
pther American industries to prosper.
