CUSTOMS OFFICERS
DETAIN STEAMERS
Part OF Cargocs Are Alleged to BE
Contra band; Has Hides
Abroad

VANCOUVER, Il. c., Jan. 1S.-The
Japanese steamer Mexico Maru Of the
Osaka Shosen Kaisha line, and the
American steamship Governor of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company have
been detained here by customs Off
cials because part of the cargoes the
vessels have taken on board are al
legged to be contraband of war under
the regulations promulgated from OF
tawa.
Action against the japanese liner
was taken yesterday when her purSer
asked for a clearance; that against the
Governor was taken at noon today
when her purser went to the customs
house to clear
AS regards the Mexico Maru' the
authorities say her shipments from
Vancouver for Japan include a con-
slgnment of lead from Trail, B. c.,
some barbed wire and other materials
which figure in the list of commodities
prohibited by order from Ottawa.
The detention of the Governor. it is
understood, Is on the ground that she
has shipment Of hides for San Fran
cisco and hides can be turned into
leather. The shipping Of hides to San
Francisco has been a regular trade
for years and this is the first case of
interference with a ships papers be-
cause of it.

Wilson'S Advice to Demo

XXTAsHINGToN, Jun. I3-In Il

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-n a
w stirring debate today, the sen,
ate heard sharp republican attacks
upon President Wilson's recent In
dianapolis speech, criticisms Of tho
administrations policy toward Mexico
and denunciation of Democratic legis-
lation, followed by warm defense OF
the president by Democratic leaders
and a prediction OF his. denomination
and reelection.
Political discussion was precipitated
over Senator Cummin's resolution re-
questtng. information from the presl .
dent as to what the government pro-
posed to do with Mexican customs
collected during tho American occu-
patton of Vera Cruz. The resolution
did not get to vote.
In the course OF the discussion,
Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
slssippi, declared with emphasis that
President Wilson would be "renomi-
mated and re-elected"; Senator Bornh
OF Idaho, Was referred to as a Re
publican presidential possibility and
Senator Cummins OF Iowa, voiced the
wish that President Wilson could be
confined to the exercise of his con-
stitutional powers"
Senator BOrah delivered a general
broadslde against the. administration
which reached climax in an attack
on the chief executives speech at In
dianapolis last week, with particular
reference to the presidents warning
to "men who should dare to break
the solidarity of the Democratic team
Tor any purpose or from any motive"
''Follow BIindly."
The Idaho senator denounced this
comparing 1t with the sole
and central principle upon which any
corrupt political machine was ever
organized or put into existence" lie
declared it was like the utterances of
Tom Taggart Of Indiana to his fol-
lowers, eighty Of whom pleaded guilty
Yesterday to the crime Of political
corruption" and "the orders Issued
by Murphy to his satellites in Tam
many Hall to follow the dictates OF
the captain regardless Of the dictates
OF conscience or judgment"
"It is a remarkable speech" Sen
ator Borah continued. Its purpose
and purport cannot be mistaken or
misunderstood. It is most virulent
attack upon one OF the great political
parties Of this country by the chief
Of the nation, party in
Whose traditions millions OF his coun-
trymcn take great pride and In
whose policies they devoutly and pa
iriotcally believe. lt not only chal-
lenges the wisdom Of its leaders. but
II assails the intelligence and patriot
ism Of the rank and file All this is
done at time when our country has
sore need Of united wisdom and

Ienge. While opposing no legislation
which we deem TO be wise and for the
public good we will hold ourselves
perfectly free to oppose in all proper
