I|ERlTED REbUKE

NHEMBERS of the Municipal
IN league, in open meeting Tues
day, repudiated its special commit
tees report on candidates in several
important instances.
The league is to be congratulated
for this action.
There Was pernicious activity
among some members Of the commit
tee in haUing its report published pre-
: maturely as a report of the league.
This is nou plainly apparent.
The proposition that a body OF pub
lie spirited men take up the Uarious
candidates, question them on essential
matters, then place their findings be-
fore the public, is fundamentally
sound. Voters haven't the time to look
all the candidates up and get ac-
quointed with them. The idea is good.
But it is privilege than can easily be
abused.
It's Just such conduct as the present
committees, obviously an attempt to
giUe some candidates an unfair dd-
uantage in the report over Others,
plainly taking dig at some condi-
dates sDithout Justice or reason, and
don,ning still Others BY faint praise,

Passes Federal Volunteer
Provision in Army Bill
by Vote of 36 to 81.
MEASURE SUPPORTED
BY GUARD ADVOCATES
Decision Comes After Four
Days Struggle: Means Re-
lection of Amendment.

NIASHINGTON, April 6.-The
w senate retained the federal vol
unteer provision in the army bill late
today by a vote of SO to "a. rejecting
Senator Lees amendment to strike
the section from the bill The vote
ended in four-day debate on the
section.
Advocates of the national guard as
the first line of defense behind the
regular army supported the amend
ment vigorously and the struggle was
one of the hardest fought in the sem
ate at this session Of congress. II be-
gan after the defeat of the military
committee last week when proposal
to create a national guard section of
the army general staff was written
into the bill
The narrow margin by which the
federal volunteer provision was re-
tanned makes it doubtful that 1t will
be in the measure finally framed by
the conference committee between
the two houses. An effort during de-
bate on the house army bill to insert
this section which is designed to pro-
vide such a force as the continental
army proposed by former Secretary
Garrison. was decisively defeated.
Without Republican support the
volunteer section would have been
voted out by the Democratic senator's
despite the fact that 1t was unani-
mously recommended by the military
committee. Twenty-four Democrats
and ten Republicans, including nearly
all the Progressive Republicans, voted
to retain it. The vote follows
To eliminate the section: Demo-
crats-Ashurst. Bankhead Clarke of
Arkansas; Culberson, Gore. Hard
wick. Hughes, Kern, Lee of Maryland.

MILK COMPANY SEEKS
COURTS PROTECTION
Asks for Injunction To Restrain the
Members of Mill, Producers As
sociation from Interfering.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Borden's Con-
densed MIX company today filed a
bill in the United States district court

members of the Mix Producers asso-
citation from interfering by violence

tion has declared strike against
Chicago dealers who have refused TO

VALDESPINO DENIES
WRITING ANY LETTER
Didn't Send Communication Predict-
ing Success for a New Plan for
Securing Supremacy for Party.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Vigorous de-
nial that he had sent letter from the
United States to Mexico predicting
success for new plan for securing
political and military supremacy for
the cientifico party has been made by
Ignacio Valdespino, bishop of Aguas
Calientes, now living in San Antonio,
Texas.
The denial was in the form of a
sworn statement by Bishop Valdesp-
ino, given out today by Francis C..
Kelley. ID. D.. president of the Catho-
lie Church Extension society.
The affidavit of Bishop Valdespino
quoted the dispatch as saying "An
explanation from Governor Gales of
Sonora of his order expelling priests
from his state is contained in a mes
sage received at the Mexican consul
ate here today. The message says:
Archbishop Valdespino sent letter
from the United States to Hermosillo
in which he predicted that within a
short time the whole country would
rejoice In the success of new plan
which he said the reactionaries had
organized for once more securing po-
litical and military supremacy for the
cientifico party. This caused the
order regarding the expulsion of
priests from Sonora
The affidavit further reads: 81
hereby authorize the statement that
the entire report as coming from me
is absolutely false. without the re-
motest semblance of truth, given out
Tor the purpose of prejudicing the
minds of the Mexican people against
the Catholic people. IL not directly
against me.

Bishop of Aguas Calientes."

DERLIN, Monday. April 6 p. m.)
- Via London, April (9:35 p. m.)
(Delayed)-A fourth American in
iauity was added today to others await
ing reply at the foreign office when the
American embassy requested informa
ton regarding the steamer Eagle
Point, recently sunk off Queenstown
and asked whether she was destroyed
by a German submarine.
The foreign office states that as yet
1t has no information from the ad-
miralty regarding the Sussex, the
Englishman, the Manchester Engineer
or the Eagle Point.
The admiralty has countered the
question regarding the Sussex with a
request for more exact details on the
time. place and circumstances OF the
disaster. No suppOsitiOns or possible
explanations covering the case of the
Sussex have been advanced in author
itative circles. One supposition heard
in unofficial circles in case 1t should
develop that German submarine Is
concerned, is that the Sussex re-
sembled a transport or cruiser An
other possible explanation frequently
heard is that the sinking of the
Sussex occurred in the region not only
theoretically, but actually within the
zone of regular war operations and on
a route used largely for the convey
ance of troops.
Zimmerman Talks.
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman. under Sec
retary for foreign affairs, Informed
the Associated Press today that any
doubts regarding possible change OF
policy regarding the treatment OF
passenger steamers was unjustified.
The old order to submarine COM
manders against the destruction OF
unarmed and unresisting passenger
steamers without warning and pro-
viding an opportunity for safety to
those on board, was still in force,
Doctor Zimmerman said and added
that in the case of error or violation
of orders Germany would not hesitate
to accepted the consequences and
make all suitable amends.
Doctor Zimmerman also declared
that the same policy and orders Were
still in effect regarding neutral
steamers, the attitude of the German
naval force toward these vessels be-
ing that they are governed by the
established regulations of the So
called cruiser warfare. According to
these regulations Doctor Zimmerman
eexplained neutral vessels were subject
to destruction only when 1t was found
after an examination that more than
half of the cargo consisted of war
contraband.
Doctor Zimmerman expressed the
opinion that the greater part of the
cases of sinking of neutral vessels
which are being reported with in
creasing regularity in news dispatches
would be found to be due to mines,
which, he said, were admittedly used
by all parties as recognized weapons
of war.
