Return Conf1scated Weapons

Washington, Feb. 6.-Hundreds of
thousands rounds of rifle and machine
gun ammunition under seizure along
the Mexican boarder are being turned
over to the constitutionalists as fast
as they prove ownership.
During the last two years agents
of the department of justice have ar
rested hundreds of men in the act of
transporting arms across the border
and have seized carloads of ammuni-
tion. In many cases the ammunition
so seized was turned over after it
had been used as evidence. i.
Such arms as may be needed as
evidence against persons still under
indictment will not be released for
the present. 1t was said today, how
ever that the department of justice
probably will not attempt to prose-
cute all the cases against arms snug
glers.

Radium Cure Failed

Baltimore, Feb. 5.-Robert Gum
Bremmer, a member of congress from
the Seventh New Jersey district and
editor of the Passaic Daily Herald died
today of cancer at a local sanitorium,
where he had been undergoing radium
treatment since last December. He
had been suffering from the disease
for four years. Mr.. Bremmer was 80
years old and married, but childless.
Mr.. Bremmer came to a sanitorium
to try the radium treatment, after
physicians in this country and Europe
had vainly tried to cure him. 1t was
found that the disease had made such
inroads on him that little could be
done to help him and that the fight
against death would be made with all
the odds against him. Mr.. Bremmer
was optimistic, however, and the
tubes containing 100000 worth of
radium were applied to the growth.
For time the patient seemed to
improve and members of his family
clung to hope that he would recover
until few days ago.

MAY OPPOSE WILSON
President Favors Payment Of Canal
Tolls BY American Ships

President Favors Payment Of Canal
Tolls BY American Ships
Washington, Feb. 6.-President Will
sons expressed desire for repeal of
the provision of the Panama canal act
which exempts American coastwise
ships from tolls, it was apparent to-
night, will precipitate spirited debate
in both houses of congress when the
bill to carry out the suggestion is sub.
mitted.
That opposition to the repeal will
develop in the house interstate com.
merce committee, was indicated today
by Representative Knowland of Cali
fOrnia, member of the committee,
who declared:
I'VE are paying dear price for the
friendship of Great Britain, even
though it may help us out in Mexico.
The proposed bill will, l predict, pre-.
cipitate one of the most spirited de-
bates which has been heard in con.
gress for years, and will provoke
free and full discussion of our present
foreign policy"
The presidents views will be car
ried out in the house, according to
Representative Adamson, chairman of
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee, who said tonight congress
undoubtedly would act quickly by
"straight-out repeal"
Not so certain, however, are some
of the democratic leaders in the sen.
ate that the president will be sus-
tanned in his resolve on this question,
which has agitated American relations
with England for several years and
has been subject of international
controversy since the passage of the
Panama canal act in August, 1912.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
interoceanic canals committee, which
had charge of the bill, and who led
the victorious fight in the senate to
exempt American coastwise vessels
from the tolls, asserted his purpose to
stand by his convictions and fight the
presidents desire.

President Explains Platform

Washington, Feb. 9.-President
Wilson let it be known today that
from the first he regarded as an un.
wise policy the insertion in the demo.
cratic national platform of the plank
favoring the exemption of American
coastwise ships from the payment of
Panama canal tolls.
The president feels that a platform
declaration on such a subject is re-
lated to circumstances that arise all
over the world as well as in the Unit
ed States, and that only the element
which the United States can control
in the situation ought to be binding.
He feels that a change of circum.
stances has arisen in the information.
al aspect of the situation which nee.
essarily would change the attitude OF
the American government and the at.
titude of the country on the subject.

Would Restrict Immigration

Washington, Feb. 4.-The Burnett
immigration bill, prescribing litercy
test for applicants to admission to the
United States was passed by the
house this afternoon by vote of 241
to 1875. All proposed amendments re-.
lating to the exclusion of Asiatic i'm
migrants previously had been elimin
ated.
AS the bill passed it provides that
every immigrant admitted to the Un-
tied States must be able to "read the
English or some other language or
dialect, including Hebrew or Yid-
dish,"
1t prescribes that each applicant
for admission must read a slip on
which are printed between 30 and 40
words.
In it's present form this measure
passed the house and the senate in
the last congress, but was vetoed by
President Taft. A similar bill was ve-
tOed in President Cleveland's second
administration. Supporters of the
bill are confident that it will again
pass the senate, although President
Wilson let it be known that he does
not approve of the literacy test.

Priest-SIayer Found Guilty

New York, Feb. 6.-Hans Schmidt
was found guilty yesterday of murder
in the first degree for killing Anna
Aumuller, a young woman he had
married through a self performed
ceremony while acting as priest at
st. Joseph's church. The penalty for
the crime is death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing prison.
Schmidt, whose defense was insan-
ity, laughed when the verdict was
pronounced. He had steadfastly de.
clared himself guilty and at his ar
raignment before being held for the
supreme court, pleaded that he be
punished by death. Later he protest
ed against the insanity defense ad-
vanced by his counsel, and said last
night that he would not assist them
in any way if they prepared an ap-
peal.

Americans Died in Tunnel

Juarez, Feb. 7.-Several Americans
and 40 or so Mexicans, whose fate
has been mystery since the des-
truction of the Cumbre tunnel last
Wednesday, were suffocated. This in.
formation was received here today at
the headquarters of the Mexican.
Northwestern railroad. The tragedy
is laid at the doors of Maxine Castil.
10, the bandit leader.
The passenger train entered the
death trap from the north unsuspect.
ingly, probably travelling at its usual
rate of about Is miles an hour. When
the engineer discovered the trap it
was too late. Just what his actions
were will be known only after an ex.
animation of the locomotive has been
made.
Castillo's failure to send back
warnings of the trap is regarded as
the most cruel and murderous act
of his career of outlawry, and there
is a disposition here to censure Gen.
eral Villa for not having punished
him long ago.

Women Whiteeappers Fined

Waukeegan, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-Five wo-
men of Volo. ILL.,, accused of driving
their neighbor, Mrs. John Richardson,
out of the village by riding her on
rail, were fined 800 each by Judge
Charles Donnelly. The women were
given three days each to raise the
money, during which time Judge DON
nelly will consider the advisability of
inflicting Jail sentence if the money
is not forthcoming.
Mrs. Richardson is the wife of a
crippled village storekeeper. She had
been the subject of village gossip in
which the name of her brother-in-law
was involved. She was tried by a
kitchen court of her neighbors six
months ago and apparently was con-
victed. The women visited her home
late one night, ordered her from the
village, and, according to her story,
placed her on a rail and rode her
from her home.

World 10 Growing Better

Washington, Feb. 9.-Speaker Clark
told Christian Endeavor mass meet
ing that the world was growing bet.
ter every day. He said the reason
people took a gloomy view of the
times was because the telegraph en-.
abled newspapers nowadays to chron'
icle the crimes and disasters of all the
world within few hours.
The speaker asserted that nothing
had made him madder than to hear
people say that public men of the
present were corrupt. The peoples
representatives in Washington, he
said, were "honest, conscientious ser
wants." Ninety-nine per cent of the
men sent to congress, he added, leave
poorer than they came, although they
could acquire a fortune by STOPPING
to dishonesty.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. Am express
wagon trundled today across the in
ternational bridge from Ell Paso to
Juarez with the first load of NUM-
tions of war permitted to cross to the
rebels under President Wilson's pro-
clamation ending the embargo. The
wagon contained only $4,000 rounds of
ammunition, and seventy rifles, rep
resenting the entire stock of a local
dealer, but large quantities of fight
ing weapons have been ordered by
rebel agents, and soon are to be ship

Orders to permit the passage of
arms to the Mexican belligerents
were received by both the United
States army and customs officials.
The order came SO suddenly that the
rebl leaders at JuareE were unpre-
pared for it, for they said had they
been prepared large supplies would
have been held in readiness on the
American side. 1t was stated that
the next few weeks will witness ship.

Sugar Cure for Drink Habit

Chicago, Feb. 5.-To cure the drink
habit, substitute sugar. That is the
gist of the advice offered in the cur
rent number of the Journal of the
American Medical association, which
calls the idea "A new and logical
treatment Of alcoholism" The article
says:
when the body cells are supplied
with physiologic balance of carbo-
hydrates there is no further demand
for alcohol.
"At the inception of treatment the
diet is modified to contain an abun-
dance of sugar. Cereals with cane
sugar, sweet fruits, pastries, choco-
lates and ice cream are advised. In
some cases, owing to a distaste for
sugars this change must be gradual
to prevent rebellion"

Opposed to Women Suffrage

Washington, Feb. 5.-Hopes of suf-
ragettes that the present democratic
administration would enact federal
legislation enfranchising the women
of the country were dashed when
Representative Underwood of Alaba-
ma, majority leader of the house, put
the democratic party squarely on rec
ord as opposed to federal action. Rep
resentative Underwood asserted the
democratic party took the position
that the question of suffrage was one
that should be left to the individual
states to settle. ~. .-.'..5,...
The question came up in the dis
cussion of the immigration bill in the
house and there was considerable de-
bate as to just what action of the
democratic house caucus in rejecting
the Baker woman suffrage resolution
meant. Representative Lenroot of
Wisconsin said that by defeating the
proposal to create a new woman suf-
frage committee the democrats had
taken the position that women should
not have the opportunity to be heard
on the suffrage question.

FOR BETTER FARMING
Congress Provides Funds For Extend
ing Agricultural Education

Congress Provides Funds For Extend.
ing Agricultural Education
Washington, Feb. THE house ag-
ricultural extension bill passed the
senate with amendments today with.
out a dissenting vote. The bill pro-
vides for demonstrations on the farm
of approved methods and scientific
discoveries as to farming and home
economies made in the agricultural
colleges, experimental stations and in
the federal department of agriculture.
The secretary of agriculture and land
grant agricultural colleges are to out
line plans for carrying out the demon
strations.
AS agreed to in the senate, the bill
would appropriate Internationally
$4,000 annually to each state. In
addition, a sum of 100000 for the
coming year with a yearly increase
of 100000 for the next seven years,
would be provided for in distribution
among the states on basis of rural
population, conditioned on each
states appropriating a sum equal to
its portion of the federal funds. A.
ter seven years the bill would provide
permanent appropriation of $4,SO0,-
900 annually.
The amendment requiring that ne
gro colleges be permitted to share in
the fund was defeated by vote of 80
to %. The bill was amended, how
ever, as a result of the fight on the
race question by placing the distri-
button of the funds in the hands of
the secretary of agriculture and re-
spective state governors in states
having more than one agricultural
college, and also specifying against
race discrimination in the demon
stratiOn work on farms.

AMEND LAND LAWS
Large Number Of Bills Considered bv
House Committee


Washington, Feb. 9.-With more
than 600 bills providing for public
land legislation referred to it for con-
sideration, the public lands commit
tee of the house is preparing to take
up the work in earnest within the
very near future. To that end "sift.
ing committee" has been appointed to
go through the entire list and pick
out all bills Of q similar nature.
Measures proposing to amend by
enlarging or modifying the same sec.
ttons Of the present law, as we'll as
those seeking new land legislation for
the accomplishment of the same or
similar purpose, will be grouped to-
gether and laid before the whole COM
mittee. These groups will then be re-
ferred to various subcommittee with
instructions to bring in committee
bill Incorporating as many of the pro-
visions of each as is deemed advis-
able. The result will be that while no
particular members name will attach
to the legislation, all will have the
advantage of having their ideas in
corporated as far as possible.
An effort to have the homesteader
allowed two absence periods divided
equally between summer and winter,
instead of the one period of five
months as now, is being taken up
among western members. The move
ment started with Representative
Sinnott of Oregon, who urged Secre-
tary Lane to recommend the change.
1t is urged that while the one five
month leave Of absence now granted
is deal for many, q far greater
number could be accommodated were
the period divided so those who de-
sire to do SO might leave to find EN-.
ployment in mid-winter and again in
mid summer.

FOR SECOND HOMESTEAD
Senate Committee Favors Bill To
Amend Land Laws


Amend Land Laws
Washington, Feb. 5.-The public
lands committee of the senate has re-
ported favorably upon Senator
Shoots bill to permit second home.
stead entries in certain cases, amend
ing it to conform with the views of
the interior department. AS amended
the bill provides:
THAT where any person, other
wise qualified to make entry of pub
lie lands under the homestead or des.
ert-land laws, has heretofore made or
may hereafter make entry under said
laws and has forfeited or abandoned
the same, such person may be permit
ted to make another entry upon show
ing to the satisfaction of the secretary
of the interior that the prior entry
was made in good faith, was forfeited
or abandoned because of matters be-
yond his control, and that he has not
speculated in his right nor otherwise
committed fraud or attempted fraud
in connection with such prior entry"
In reporting upon the matter the in
terror department said:
"The numerous acts which have
been passed during the past % years
authorizing the allowance of second
entries have not been harmonious in
respect to the causes which authoriz.
ed the allowance hereunder of second
filings, and have produced difficulties
in minds of entrymen. It is believed
that the purpose sought would be best
accomplished by the enactment of q
measure which would cover more ade.
quately the whole field, and the meas.
ure submitted is designed to carry
out the suggestion"
1t is believed that the bill in the
form submitted by the interior depart.
ment will become a law.

Would Develop Water Power

Washington, Feb. "a comprehen.

sites should be issued only to states
municipalities and public service cor
porations which are subject to regu
lation and control by such government
tai agencies as public service commits
