The President Spends Sun day Afternoon in His
 Office
MANY LEADERS ARE
 OPPOSED TO REPEAL
Speaker Clark, Majority Leader Underwood and Others Will Vote Against Presidents Ex-
 pressed Policy

Washington, March 22.--Believing the foreign policy of the administration de- bends on the vote Of the repeal of the Panama tolls exemption bill, President Wilson and his advisers in consultation today canvassed the situation.
 It Is unusual for the President to be at his office on Sunday, but he spent most of the afternoon there with Post master General Burleson and Secretary Tumulty. They talked with administra- tion leaders in Congress and learned that while there was little reason to doubt the ultimate triumph of the re- peal, stubborn opposition has arisen, particularly in the House, and that those in charge Of the administration fight there would have to work hard to overcome it.
 One of the peculiar phases of the situation is that Speaker Clark Major fty Leader Underwood, Representative Kitchin, Representative Fitzgerald and others usually aligned with the admin istration in it's policies, are opposing it now. Witt this opposition are many republicans and rrogressives and the probability Of a close vote is increas- ing daily. It genarally is admitted among the Presidents friends that he is confronted With the most serious opposition Le has encountered and they point out that the general effect on the nations foreign relations In the event of the faiiu' e of the repeal would surely lead to considerable embarrassment in various other diplomatic questions now bending.

WILL BE NO CHANGE
 IN POLICY OF U. 5.
 TOWARDS MEXICO
Battle of TOrre0n Is Crucial P0int-Friendly Feeling Between Washington
 and Huerta

Washington, March 22.---Although full reports of the conference at Vera Cruz between John Lind and Senor Portillo y Rojas, minister of foreign affairs iu the Huerta cabinet, have been received here, the disposition of the American government Is to make no change in it's Mexican policy or express itself on any of the new proposals reported to have been made until after the battle of Tor reon Is fought
 This became known tonight authori- tatively, though officials declined to say what new proposals had been made by the Mexican cabinet officer.
 Reports that more friendly feeling prevails between the Washington gov ernment and those officials of the Huerta administration seeking peace full settlement of the difficulty arc borne out by dispatches received here by Charge Algara, of the Mexican em- bassy. who today said President Will sons attitude in welcoming resump- tion of peace negotiations had made favorable impression in the Mexican capital.
 foreign affairs conference with Mr. Lind. it is said. was to acquaint the lat ter with his personality. President Will son recently spoke in complimentary terms of the Mexican cabinet officer. Charge Algara has pointed out that while Senor Portillo is member of tho clerical party he is liberal in his view. Constitutionalists here have said. how ever. that while they thought highly of Senor Portillo Rojas personally, his affiliations with the clerical party would prevent his being accepted by General Carranza as provisional suc- eessor to Huerta.
 Administration officials here do not think much can be accomplished until the battle of Torreon is over. The pres. tige and strength of one or the other of the two Mexican factions admitted ly will suffer as a result of the contest. and the moral effect throughout Mexi- co, 1t is believed here, will be tremend- : ous. The presence in Vera Cruz O: Charge O'Shaughnessy merely is a re- suit of his i'll health, according to state department announcements. Secretary Bryan denied a published report that O'Shaughnessy wanted to resign. He said he had heard nothing of 1t and didn't believe 1t.
 The Secretary made no comment on Senor Portillos suggestion that Mi. Lind take trip through territory con trolled by the Mexican federals.

BR|GANDS CAUSING TERROR IN CHINA Bandits Ruthlessly Murder and ROb-Massacre 300
 TOwnfOlk

Picking, March 22.--Outrages by brigands in central China are assuming alarming proportions. Several bands associated with the notorious outlaw. White Wolf, are ravaging various parts of the coun- try, ruthessly murdering ana robping the people and burning their property
 The latest bandit exploit was the mas sacre of 300 townsfolk who resisted their entrance into an important market town close to Siangyangfu, province of Hupeh. Most of the town was burned and the population ruined financially. On account of the recent sacking or Kingtzokwan. province of Honan, the local troops made no effort to resist the brigands. The troops were commanded by noted brig and chief. The government Is unable to deal with the situation, and there is every prospect of further development of brig anaxe.
 The revolutionary element Is still strong throughout the country. Arrests and exc cutions are frequent. Tho entire northern army soon will be employed In the sup precision of brigapdags.

PARCEL POST ID BE

Order Issued by Postmaster General Permits Shipment of Farm Produce to
 the Consumer

Washington, March 22.--Preliminary steps taken by the postoffice depart ment today to perfect plans for reduc- ing the cost of living by having the parcel post carry farm products direct to the door of the consumer. Ten cities were selected to begin the work of es- tablishing direct connection between producer and consumer, Postmaster General Burleson already having issued an order permitting the use of crates and boxes for butter. eggs. poultry. eel post.
 Orders today went to the postmasters at Boston, Atlanta. St. Louis, San Fran cisco, Baltimore, Detroit, Lacrosse. Wis, Lynn, Mass, Rock Island H., and Washington, directing them ITO receive the names of persons who are willing to supply farm produce in retail quan- titles by parcel post" Printed lists of these names will be distributed among town and city patrons
 By the use of the lists said First q day. the city consumer can get in touch with farmer who will All his weekly orders for farm produce. The consumer will receive the produce fresh from the country and the personal re- lationship established no doubt will tend to improve the quality. The farm CT will be relieved of carrying his pro- duce to market. as the rural carrier will make daily collections at tile farmers own door of these. retail shipments 60 city consumers.
 .The point has been raised that dif- ficulty will be experienced in the re- turn of hampers and other containers This problem does not appear to me to be difficult. as the farmer may use in- expenstve hampers whose value would not warrant their return. or he may use the higher grade hampers for which he may, include an additional charge to be credited to the consumer on the re- turn of the hamper by parcel post"
 'The Postmaster General is con. vinced that this plan Is the one. thing necessary to enable the people of this country to enjoy the potential benefits of the parcel post. No one ever has questioned the possibility of reducing the cost of living by establishing direct relations between the ultimate consum- Ter and the original producer. A com
