SCOTT IS BACK
IN WASHINGTON
CHIEF OF STAFF GIVES SECRE-
TARIES BAKER AND LANSING
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
REPORT VERY BRIEF
Reports on Result of Conferences
With General Obregon at FL
Paso-Retlisti.ibutio
of Troops.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Infor-
nation helpful to the administration
in guiding its future course in Mexi-
co was presented to Secretaries Bak-
er and Lansing by Chief of Staff
Scott. He told them that while Gen.
Obregon at Ell Paso refused to put in
black and white the terms Of the
proposed agreement he offered as
sistance that will be helpful provid-
ing there is no outbreak by Carranza
detachments.
Scott's report tended to confirm
the suspicious of officials that in
terventionists included many Ell
Pasoans who believe that interven-
ton in Mexico will be necessary
ultimately.
Details of the redistribution OF
General Pershing's troops south OF
Columbus show that the expedition
is in a position to make rapid
clean up of raiders on the border.
It is assumed that Ambassador
Arredondo will elect soon to see
Secretary Lansing on pending dip
lomatic negotiations. though neither
side has shown any disposition to be
in a hurry. Much need for this was
eliminated in the Scott-Obregon con-
ferences.
Rumors that the American line is
threatened by Carranzistas are
doubted by army men. They believe
such rumors are disproved by the
presence of 1900 Carranza troop
in the region of the Big Bend coun'
try to round up the Boquillas and
Glenn Springs raiders.
Before the end of the week the
recently added forces should be dis
tributed along the border.

wheels of Lake county justice turned
slowly today To separate the grist
from the chaff in the mystery OF
Helms woods where pretty eighteen
yeal-old Marian Lambert. high school

While visitors, newspaper reporters
and photographers poured into
Waukegan for the beginning of the

Pacing nervously In his cell of the
Lake county Jail orpet, a youth Of

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing a
child to eat when it refuses food. Make
surethat nothing is being eaten between
meals TO destroy the natural appetite
and if your growing child does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats of punishment If
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially if the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
DR.. Williams Pink Pills is demanded.
During her teens girl lays the foun-
dation for her future health. Lack of
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It is of
the greatest Importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. They make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y, for the book, Building
Up the Blood" 1t is free.

Will Permit Vote on
Shipping Bill Soon
Bv Associated Press

Washington, Aug. II. - Republi-
cans of the Senate indicated to-day
that they would permit a vote to be
reached on the administration ship
ping bill late tomorrow or Monday.
This developed while Senators Jones
and Gallinger were crossquestionlng
Senator Simmons about progress on
the revenue bill being drafted by a
finance subcommittee.
Senator Simmons said he hoped to
have the revenue measure ready for
full committee Monday and to report
it to the Senate Tuesday. While it
is being perfected the Democrats will
call up the workmens Compensation
bill or Philippine conference report.
Senator Jones resunling his speech
against the shipping bill urged that
even If the measure should meet one
purpose for which it was proposed and
reduce freight rates, foreign import
ers rather than American shippers,
would be the beneficiaries.
Senator Fletcher, of the Commerce
Committee, submitted an amendment
to provide that whenever regulations
or practices of foreign governments
operate to discriminate against YES
sells of the United States 1t would be
the duty of the shipping board to re-
port to the President for diplomatic
action or to be brought to the atten-
ton of Congress.

broken by a series of short stops. The
party is due in Billings at 1880 to-
night.
Mr.. Hughes told an audience of
farmers in the Grand Forks auditor
ium yesterday that he believed in a
protective tariff that would protect
them as we'll as the men in the fac
tories.
II believe in a protective tariff" Mr..
Hughes said. II believe in protection
without abuse. I think that is pos
sible.
Our opponents who for generations
have told us that it was contrary to
the Constitution of the United States
to have duties except for purpose of
revenue are now telling us that there
is an economic revolution and that
perhaps we can have a duty on dye
stuffs and nonpartisan commission.
But I believe in trusting those who
really accept the doctrine of protec-
ton with its enforcement. And 1 be-
lieve in protection for the farmers
just as I believe in protection for the
men in the factories"
Weakness Breeds Insults
Mr.. Hughes repeated his views on
preparedness, saying that he stood for
reasonable preparedness.
Weakness breeds insults and in
suits breed war;" he said. "I stand
for the protection of American rights.
Firm insistence on American rights
backed by reasonable preparedness
means peace and security"
Crisp weather, so cold that over
coats were necessary, greeted the
nominee here.

Senator's Townsend and
Penrose Also Back Durand
Declarations of Hughes
By Associated Press

Washington, Aug. II. - Senator
Townsend, Republican, OF the Census
Committee, made statement IN the
Senate to-day, supporting the declara-
tions of Charles E. Hughes, that E.
Dana Durand, former director of the
census was removed from Office to
make a vacancy for political reasons
and taking issue with Secretary Red
fields rejoinder that Mr.. Durand re-
tired voluntarily.
The secretary of commerce says
Mr.. Durand resigned" said Senator
Townsend. That is not correct. The
fact is that Secretary Redfield called
on Durand in April and stated that
he desired his position. Durand re-
piled that much important work was
in progress and that he ought to be al
lowed to finish it. The next day, Mr.
Harris civilian ]. Harris) nomina-
ton was sent to the Senate and the
next day it was announced that Mr..
Durand had resigned"

planned the facts to the Census Com

mittee and delayed the confirmation of
Harris.
II believe it is we'll for the country
to know the facts" continued Senator
Townsend. Mr.. Durand was practi-
cally removed. He resigned under
pressure after he had stated he ought
to remain until the census reports
were completed. The kilograms sent
out by Secretary Redheld absolutely
were unfaithful to the facts. Mr..
Harris was appointed for political
reasons and his name sent in after
Mr. Durand was forced out OF ofhce.'
Senator Smith, Democrat, of Georgia
said he desired to congratulate the
other side in that they have at last
found an issue. My criticism of the
President and Secretary of Commerce
in this matter" Senator Smith con-
tinued, lis that they did not remove
Mr.. Durand frankly and openly from
office. He was inefficient as an execu-
tive officer There was waste of
money, duplication of work and care
lessness of management in his ad-
ministration. He was a man utterly
without executive capacity of the kind
needed in a director of the Census"
Scores Hypocrisy
Senator Penrose said that Durand
was not the issue. THE issue here"
he said, sis that the Secretary of Com
merce deliberately and publicly stated
that Durand resigned and was not re-
moved, and it later turns out that he
was removed and that the Secretary
of Commerce to put it mildly, is de-
tected in deliberately misrepresenting
the facts to the American people.
am not a fanatical civil service re-
former myself but I abhor the hypo-
crisy which characterizes this whole
transaction"
Senator Penrose charged the ad-
ministration with a complete over
throw of the Civil Service. Never
since the Civil War has there been
such brazen, unscrupulous raid on the
merit system as under this haloed ad-
ministration," he said. THE Post
Office Department has been utterly
demoralized. The post Office in Phila-
delphia is in the worst shape it has
ever been. I have seen postmasters
in Florida who by their appearance
would hardly be competent physically
or mentally to sweep the streets"
