Mann Closes Opposition.
Representative Mann made the con-
Guiding arguments against the bill, de-
ciarlng he opposed it because it was
unnecessary and likely to involve the
United States in international compli-
cations.
Il believe the President is sincere in
MS desire to maintain absolute neu-

Keep TINS country out of war. If We
reach the point where we have to fight
Ior our rights We will all fight with
equal enthusiasm. but We ought to take
no steps that may lead to trouble. and
this Dill may involve foreign difficult
ties and perhaps war"
Defends President Wilson.
Representative Alexander of Missouri
closed the debate for the bill Just be-
fore midnight with a vigorous defense
OF President Wilson.
Let US take it for granted that this
bill originated at the White House." he
said. Can you find better source?
Ihere is no man of higher ideals. Of
more profound learning, of higher
craftsmanship. than the man in the
White House today. 1t is not becom-
ing. it is undignified, it is contempti-

With Numbering Mexican.

under command of United States Mar
shall Aquila Nebeker of Salt Lake City
expects to start today for Bluff, Utah,
In an effort to arrest a Piute Indian
known as Hatch" who is charged
with the murder, of Juan Chacon, a
Mexican, on the Ute reservation last
March.
Reports reaching here were that
Hatch had gathered a band of fifty
Indians and was armed and prepared
to resist arrest.
Father Urges Fight.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, February
17.-Marshal Nebeker left Salt Lake
quietly several days ago to organize
for the attempt to capture Hatch. Men
familiar with the case say they believe
Hatch would have surrendered peace
ably some time ago if it had not been
for the influence of his father. Old
Pope, an aged, uncivilized Indian. who
has encouraged his son to fight rather
than surrender. The old Indian is
ignorant of court procedure, and is
lynched IL captured.
The Indians with whom Hatch is
associated are wandering tribes of Utes
who have roamed at large for many
years.

Democrats Defend Bill.
However, there We're many sharp
arguments used in favor of the DILL
but they came from democrats. Rep-
resentative Metz of New York, who SAID
he was a shipper and representative
of shippers, said the bill Is great

of jefferson and others. but they are
all dead and we are here J. am OPP

would buy all the interned ships ex-

ministration was made during the de-
bate by Representative Humphrey of
Washington.

facility and volubility with which they

curse him in the cloakroom. I prophesy
now this is the last bill the President
will ever force through Congress
against the judgment and conviction
of majority of his party: l think
this is the beginning of the end of
his dictatorship.
Representatives Webb, Adamson,
Small, Eagle and McKellar We're fore
most among the defenders of the
measure, but for the most part the
speeches were short and the leaders al
lowed their followers to state their
reasons for voting one way or another.
