COMPE N GA AT|ON ALT DECLARED
 LEGAL
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March T. - The first compulsory workmen's compen- sation or industrial insurance law to come before the supreme coudrt was yesterday upheld as constitutional The constitutionality of the law was questioned in a suit by the state of Washington against the Mountain Timber Company, of Kalama, Wash. Nebraska corporation, to collect contributions to the state compensa. ton fund levied by the state indus trial commission, created to enforce the law and fix compensation of in. jured employees.
 Extent of the laws application = whether it or the federal employers liability act applies - to certain em. ployees of common carriers was in. yolved in three other suits of such employees for personal injuries.
 In all four cases, the Washington statute was upheld as constitutional, and also applied to the common car. rterz. sxnpioyas, .Iiapl~osns-sfr- reucraT statute to that extent. In the Noun tain Timber case the state supreme court held the law valid and gave judgment to the state for the contri- buttons assessed. In the employees suits against the common carriers, the ninth circuit court of appeals af firmed their dismissal by Federal District Judge Neterer.
 The Mountain Timber Co. case was argued in February, 1916, but the supreme court reached no decision, and it was reargued in January, 1917. Between the two hearings Justices Brandeis and Clarke were appointed. Justice Lamar died and Justice Hughes resigned.

MERCHANT SHIPS 0F AMERICA TO
 BE ARMED
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March T. - The definite impression that American merchantmen will be armed in the near future has gained ground today following the conferences between President Wilson and administration leaders and Democratic Senators Owen, Reed, Walsh, Swanson, Flames and Hoke Smith, the committee named by the senate caucus committee, who discussed the proposed changes in the senate rules. Secretaries Lansing and McAdoo joined the conference.
 At the conclusion of the conference the Democratic senators hurried to the capitol for conference with the Re- publican leaders, to lay before them a plan for modified closure clause, which the Democrats hope to bring before the senate tomorrow.

MEX|CANS VI f FORPRESIDENT
 SUNDAY
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, March '. - Little doubt is expressed throughout MeXi- co as to the identity of the success ful candidate for president of the re- public at the elections to be held on Sunday, March II. Although two other candidates have announced themselves, General Nenustiana Car ranza, first chief of the Constitutions alist army in charge of the executive power, practically has no opposition. The two other candidates who have announced themselves are Nicolas Zu- niaway Miranda, of Mexico City, and Francisco A. Garcia, of Zaragoza, Pu- ebla. The first is known as the per petual candidate, as he has appealed to the voters for their ballots at every election for twenty years, opposing Diaz and Madero. He is not taken seriously and neither is Garcia, who is practically unknown.
 The race for seats in the chamber of deputies and for senatorial mem- berships, however, will provide many close contests. There are many can didates in the field, some nominated by political parties and some running independently.
 Politicians will have little difficult ty in getting out the voters" at this election. as those who are eligible, re- gistered and have not some excellent excuse are subject to a penalty of q month in jail or a fine of from 20 to 200 pesos each if they do not cast their ballots. The new constitution provides that the exercise of suffrage at elections is one of the duties of Mexican citizen, and this provision will be placed in effect

FIVE PER CEN I CLAUSE |S
 INVALID
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March '. The clause in the tariff law which granted five per cent discount in duties on imports brought in American ships or ships of the nation with which the United States has favored nation trea- ties, was annulled by the supreme court as unconstitutional.
 The so-called five per cent" cases came before the supreme court through a clause in the tariff law which authorized reductions of five per cent on duties on all merehan- disc imported in American ships. All nations with which the United States has the so-called favored nation" clause in commercial treaties protest ed against the provisions as a dis crimination and violation of treaty obligations. Nations which did not have such treaties also made protests, up while the cases were taken through the lower courts and up to the su- preme court.
 Meanwhile the regular duties were collected, until the federal treasury amassed between $25 5,00O,O00 and $30,- 000,000, which has been held ready to return to importers in case the court decided the clause was invalid.
