Washington.-The senate, by a vote

ton resolution declaring that the
president is justified in the employ.
ment of the armed forces of the
United States to enforce his demands
for unequivocal amends for the al
fronts committed against the United
States by Mexico.
The Senate, by a vote OF AZ to 30,
rejected the substitute Mexican reso-
luton proposed by Senator Lodge. 1t
would have based the classification"
of the use of force in Mexico on the
general conditions there instead OF
upon the Tampico incident alone.
An amendment proposed by Sena-
tor Gallinger, "justifying the presi-
dent in the use of force to protect
American citizens in Mexico" as well
as to demand reparation for the Tam
pico incident was defeated, 43 to 40.
An amendment by Senator La Fol-
lette to provide that after the Sub
jugation" of Mexico, the United States
should retire from that country, leav-
ing Mexico and every portion OF 1t
to its W people, was voted down, A
to 80.
President Wilson answered Huer-
ta's defiance by asking congress, as
sembled in joint session, for approval
to "use the armed forces OF the
United States in such ways and to
such extent as may be necessary to
obtain from Gen. Huerta and his adj
herents the fullest recognition OF the
rights and dignity of the United
States"
The president did not ask for any
appropriation of money at this time
nor for authority to call out the ma
tional guard.
"There can be no thought Of agrees
sion or of selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT"
declared the president to the sombre-
faced senators and representatives
who packed the hall of the house.
This government can, ! earnestly
hope, in no circumstances be forced
into war with. the people of Mexico.
II armed conflict should unhaIS IN,
come as the result OF his (Hderth'si
attitude of personal resentment to
ward this government, we should be
fighting only Gen. Huerta and those
who adhere to him, and give him sup
port, and our object would be only to
restore to the people of the distracted
republic the opportunity to set -nI
their own laws and their own govern
ment.
There can, I'm what we do, be nc
thought of aggression or selfish ag
grandizement. We seek to maintain
the dignity and authority of The
United States only because we wish
always to keep our greatest Influence
unimpaired for the Isl of liberty

ever else it may be employed for thu

ment of Rochelle Trial Reasons.

Paris.-Joseph Caillaux's campaign
for reelection to the chamber of dep
uties is attracting more attention than
that of any other politician in France.
The reasons are the killing of NJ. Cal
mette by Nine. Caillaux and the al
legged influence used by M. Caillaux
to postpone the trial of Rochelle, who
is charged with swindling.
CailIaux's friends are busy seeking
the support of voters in his constitu-
ency of Manners, which he has rep
resented in the chamber since 1898.
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, SEN
ator from the Sarthe, is Caillaux's prin-
cipal supporter. The efforts OF the
baron and others have been so vigor-
Gus that peasants of the district have
begun to regard Caillaux as the vic
tim of reactionary plots in Paris, and
are inclined TO give him support.

President Wilson they still maintained
their constitutional right not to incrim

CORNELIUS ROWING PLANS.

The new crew coaching system al Cornell. which went into effect recent ly. is expected to materially increase the interest Of the student body as a whole in rowing. Under the arrange ment between the Athletic Council and the Inter College Athletic Board the college crews are to be coached by John Hoyle. under the direct supervis- ion of Charles Courtney. The new sys- tenn will give the college oarsmen a regular coach and will assure them the daily advice Of Courtney. Rowing un. der Courtney's instruction is likely tO stimulate interest in the college crews and form better source of supply for the varsity boats than heretofore. By the new arrangement the number of men will be largely increased. The equipment of the university and col lege navies will be practically merged.
 In speaking Of the new system Courtney said:
 All Of the crews that row will not be under one head and if l should want to pick one of the college oars. men for a varsity boat in the middle of the season will know that he has been given the proper training up to that time"

PHOENIX THREATENS TO BUILD MUNICIPAL. LIGHTING SYSTEM
POWER CONSUMERS SAY COR. PoRArloN COMMISSIONER
 COMPROMISE DOUBLED COST

PHoEN1X. March 2O.-Claiming that their monthly bills have almost doubled since the rate compromise of the state corporation commission with tne Pacific Gas and Electric company the power consumers of Phoenix have started a movement 10 form an inde. pendent association of their own.
 Whether such an association would be presented from buying power from the government by the present con tract Of the reclamation service with the company, fin knotty legal prob lem which the secretary of the inter. for will be asked to pass upon. A for nal communication will be for warded to the secretary within two or three days
 lt is alleged that the very small con sumers, whose bills are under five or six dollars month. have received a slight benefit from the new schedule of rates. Those who use power for the operation of machinery complain that their bills have increased vastly. One humber dealer told the Board of Trade that during the first month the new schedule was in effect his bill went up from s37O0 to S7f. though he is certain that he consumed no more power
 At the time the compromise was ef- fected Commissioner F. A. Jones dis counted He said that certain mys- terious references to peak loads. max imum consumption and such matters did not mean what they seemed to i'm. ply. Only an expert could figure out a bill under that schedule, he declared.
 Recently several power consumers took up the rate matter with the Phoe- nix Beard of Trade. The board ap- pointed committee composed of O. D. Young. J. C, Adams, Vernon Cook. Commissioner Jones. Ed O'Malley. and Dr. John Dennett 10 take mp the prob lem with Reclamation Commissioner l. D. O'Domell.

 Commissioner O'Donnell, President Orme and George D. Christy. a legal adviser of the association, were of the opinion that mutual association of power users could purchase electricity from the government, step it down at plant of their own and distribute 1t to themselves without violating the contract The legal end of the mat ter will be looked into thoroughly be fore any final action is taken.
 Members of the committee say that if it is legally impossible to puchase power through such an association a moyement will be launched immediate yffoys a municipal electric plant and sNSeetn. 7 ss-ffi \.

WANTED TO KNOW
The Truth About orape.Nuts Food

It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct Knowledge is most likely to come from personal experience.
 About year ago." writes a N. Y. man, "I was bothered by indiges- tion, especially during the. forenoon. tried several remedies without any permanent improvement
 My breakfast usually consisted Of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread cof- fee and some fruit.
 Hearing so much about Grape Nuts. concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true.
 "So I began with Grape-Nuts and of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week l was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved.
 By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disap- peared and l was in first rate health once more Before beginning this course of diet. l never had any ap- petite for lunch. but now can enjoy the meal at noon time.'
