LODGE OPENS
DEBATE IN CONGRESS
Says Responsibility of That Body Is
Greater Than Any other
Branch.
is A SITUATION OF
GREAT SERIOUSNESS
No Formal Declaration Necessary, as 1t
Is Not Against Govern
ment.

Washington, April 21.-The debate
empowering President Wilson to use
the armed forces of the United States
against General Huerta was opened by
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. He de.
fined the powers of the president and
congress, adding:
Gin a situation of the highest
seriousness, such as now confronts con-
gress, it is well to remember that the
responsibility of the senate is greater
than that of another branch of the
government. When the president lays
before congress controversy with a
foreign nation and comes to the branch
of the government in whose hands rests
peace or war iie comes to us. / think
he has a right to do so. With congress
in session it would have been unwise
for him to proceed further than he
already has gone without the sanction
of congress.
Lodge asserted that it took congress
longer to pass the Spanish war declara-
tion than was planned in the case
/ of the present resolution. Senator La
Toilette asserted that the question of
declaring war with Spain was debated
seven days before the resolution was
finally passed. He said practically the
entire force of democrats fought
against the resolution declaring war
with Spain.
"Whether the word authorized or
Justified is used the result is the
same. - continued Senator Lodge. "I
take it that there will be no declara-
tion of war. We recognize no govern
ment in Mexico against which declare
war;"
Senator Shively replied to Senator
Lodge.
"It can be too late he said, "to
take steps to preserve peace. 1t is
never too late to declare war. This
is an effort to preserve peace rather
than propagate war.
"Whether there will be war is some
thing ahead of us and is in late 8
calendar. Often in history America has
landed troops and no war has ensued.
But Mexico has committed acts i'm
peaching our honor and sovereignty.
1t was a plain and studied insult. 1t
was case which piled up provoeation
for war. We are engaged in an effort
to avoid trouble and to impress upon
the defacto authorities the wisdom of
respecting America. If we declare wal
let's not engage in the snivelng act
of condoning acts iustify1ng war and
then adopt the resolutions.
"The events at Tampico." added
Lodge, undoubtedly constitute insults
to the American flag and uniform. No
nation desiring to retain its self-respec
4 can suffer such an insult to pass un-
noticed. 1t is our duty to seek atone
ment. In seeking atonement part
lines will vanish and we will stand be,

son. The members of the Colt family
FOR almost century were prominent
Ia the affairs of Paterson and won
distinction in industry and arts.
Colt was sixty-five years old. He

i the actress In his palmy days he
was a noted whip and prominent at
horse shows in New York and New

we'll L. Colt, jr., who built a famous
+ mansion that stood for many years
LIN the very heart of Paterson. This
Splendid estate was known as Colts
Hill. 1t was surmounted at the top
by a magnificent brownstone colonial
g residence, where such men as Daniel
Webster and other famous statesmen
were entertained. This mansion dis
appeared about twenty years ago,
when a combination of Paterson busi-
ness men bought up the estate, lev
eled the hill and converted the site
into about nine square city blocks.
on which now stand the Passaic
County Court House, the Paterson
High School, the Paterson postoff1ce

ford, Conn.,, to assume the superin-
tendency of the engineering work
{ done by the Society for the Estab-
fishment of Useful Manufactures. Up

ing firearm manufactured in this
scountry. This was in about 1912, and
