BRAZILIAN NEWSPAPERS
FAVOR ASSEMBLY'S STAND
Call Revocation of Neutrality Step
in Advance in Evolution of
Nations Policy.

RIO JANEIRo, May s1.-The news
papers comment very favorably on the
vote in the chamber on the bill au-
thorizing the revocation Of Brazifs
neutrality in the German American war
They characterize it as a great step
in advance in the evolution of Brazifs
policy. The significance of the vote
is enhanced by the fact that authorize
tion is given for withdrawing the
neutrality decree for the benefit of the
allies In addition it is certain that
the opinion of the majority Of the con-
gress goes beyond the letter of the
project.
The majority opinion is summed up
in the phrase of Deputy Pedro Moacy:
Il vote for the measure in its present
form, because yesterday we took one
step and today we have taken another
Of much greater importance along the
road where sooner or later we shall
be forced to march,
Very significant was the attitude,
frankly pro-ally, of the representatives
from Rio Grande do Sui, the president
Of which was strongly favorable to the
new political orientation. 1t is known
that the Teuton element is strong in
that state.
The Journal do Commerce. says that
the legislature has shown the way for
an external policy without failure Of
duty toward the allied nations, which
Is great.
The Corrio de Mnaha declares that
the organization of a defense against
the submarine war is impossible with
out the cooperation of the allies.

FORT BLISS, Texas, Sept. 25.-The second step to bring to military justice the negro soldiers accused of the Hous- ton rioting of August 23 was taken this afternoon when Colonel Hull, judge ad- yocate of the general court martial to try the negroes, took charge of the m vestigation which has been in progress within the prison stockade here.

Kress, inspector general or the southern department, who came here with Colonel Hull, was present at the board of inquiry session this after noon and was in conference tonight with Colonel Hull and Captain Preston.
 No date has yet been announced for convenin- the court martial but it was announced officially tonight that an : other week at least would be required to complete the preliminary investiga- tion to file charges against the alleged rioters and bring their cases to trial.
 In the meantime the 156 negro pris- oners of the Third battalion, Twenty fourth Infantry. are being closely guarded in the stockade.

 GLOBE, Sept. 25.-Efforts to show that George D.

Sheriff Ar mer and Police Chief Pinyan were asked if Smith had not acted the part of peacemaker but testified in stead that he was a participant in the mobs that defied the authorities. Other witnesses testified that the men on strike blocked street traffic and assaulted citizens who tried to enter the grounds of the copper company while acting in private capacities. F. c.

COA[ MINERS UT
 COUNTRY DEMAND
 WAGE INCREASES
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Imme- diate wage increases of from 20 to 70 per cent were demanded by the coun- try's coal miners, it was announced here tonight, after a preliminary meet ing of operators and miners represent atives of the central competitive field in Washington to discuss a general wage readjustment.
 The demands were formulated by the miners representatives and will be presented at joint meeting tomorrow. There is every indication that the mine owners will refuse to meet them, first on the ground that they are too high, and second, that the recent fixing of coal prices by President Wilson will not permit increases.
 The increases asked, while stipulated for the central field, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsyl- vania, will serve as a oasis for the en- tire country and if they are granted would have to be met by other districts. The demands are as follows:
 Increases of fifteen cents q ton on pick and machine mined coal at all passing points in the United States;
 The percentages of increase granted on machine and pick coal to be applrd to all differentials existing between thin and thick vein mines;
 Advances of $1.90 q day for men em- ployed in and around mines and.
 Twenty per cent raises on dead work and yarding.
 Today's joint conference was opened with a speech by Dr. H, A. Garfield, the fuel administrator. who urged both sides to let no differences stand in the way of capacity production of coal.
 Under no circumstances" said Dr. Garfield, must we allow production to stop We must put aside for the time being all questions that might separate men under normal conditions and work in the clasest harmony. There must be no suspension of work
 The miners position was presented by John P White, president of the United Mine Workers Of America, whG called the conference. Liberal wage increases, he declared, were necessary tC prevent men from leaving the mines tC go into munitions and other work which pays higher wages. Unless wages are raised, he said, miners vii leave for higher money elsewhere ant ,roduction of coal immediately will bC cut.
 he operators, aside from contendine they cannot afford to pay the in crcases,, declare the demands are un- justified inasmuch as a general wage raise was granted last April, and poin to an increase given in April, 1916 which they say was granted with thu distinct understanding no more de mands were to De made for two years.

Former Governor James 2. Fer euscn who was impeached and disqualified from holding public office hereafter in Texas by ac- ton of the senate today, issued a statement tonight reviewing the causes which he says brought about his impeachment and de- clares he does not propose to be eliminated from politics but will go before the people on the full assurance that he will be vindicat- cd and returned to the governors chair. It became known for the first time tonight that Mr. Fer guson filed his resignation as governor with the secretary of state Monday evening, about twenty four hours. before the sem ate finally acted on the impeach- ment matter.
 In his letter of resignation Mir. Ferguson says in part:
 "ln order that l might have suf ficent time and proper opportunity to present the merits Of my can didscy for the office of governor Of Texas for a third term and in OTueT ludI lICtt IfidJ bC tO iHiCi ference with the right of the peo- pie to elect me to that office, which belongs to the people, hereby tender my resignation as governor Of Texas, same to take effect immediately.
 ''l take this action only because have been reliably informed that the senate of the state Of Texas is attempting to pass some pre- tended and illegal order or judg- nent for the purpose of prevent ing the people of Texas from electing me governor for third term and to prevent my holding or said office by virtue of their election"
 The former governor declares his impeachment was brought about by a combination of poli- ticians, lobbyists and others and that he was not tried by an i'm partial body of men.
 What legal questions are in volved by MT. Ferguson's action could not be ascertained tonight.

Republican A. p. Leased wIre-

ST. PAUL, Sept 25.-Expulsion of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin from the United States senate is demanded In petition addressed to that body today by the Minnesota public safety commission. Senator La Toilette is accused in the commission resolution of making an address of disloyal and sedltious nature at a public meeting before large audience at the Non Partisan League convention last Thursday night in this city.
 The committee referred to the United States district attorney the matter of the conduct of Senator La Toilette and others at the same meet ing with request that the parties, if found to have violated any federal statutes, bevigorously prosecuted.
 Commission action came at the close of an executive session given almost exclusively to consideration of the La Toilette speech and searching exam nation of A. c. Townley, president of the Non Partisan League.
