Washington. = American shipbuild-
ers engaged on Government work en-.
tered into an agreement with Secre.
tary Danials to accept new contracts
at a fat rate of 10 per cent. net profit
and pledged cooperation to the fullest
extent Of their ability in rushing to
completion the navy's construction
program.
Virtually all of the larger private
plants in the country were represented
in the conference. The builders, who
have been netting from 20 to 80 per
cent. on merchant steamers, said they
were willing to turn to Government
contracts at 10 per cent. as a patriotic
duty, and the Secretary on his part
agreed to protect them from undue
loss. AS a result, for the present at
least, the Government will not consider
exercising the authority given by Con-
gress to commander plants.
The next step of the department will
be to call upon builders not engaged in
Government work to undertake such
tasks as they are equipped to carry
out. For the most part this will con
sist Of building submarine chasers and
possibly some d%estroyers. An under
standing also will be sought to prevent
yards doing private work from draw
ing men from those with navy con
tracts.
Navy Needs To Come First.
When the problem of placing new
ships in yards best fitted to do fast
work has been studied out, the ques-
ton Of getting ways clear of merchant
tonnage now under construction will
be taken up. Wherever 1t is possible
such ships will be rushed to compile
ton and delivered to their owners. No
new merchant ships will be laid down,
however, until the needs Of the navy
have been satisfied.
In some instances 1t is expected that
because Of shortage Of skilled labor
and the demand for structural steel,
merchant ships now on the ways
would be completed only to the point
Of launching and then held up while
navy vessels took their places.

Washington.-After more. than 100
years under rules permitting debate
limited only by the physical endurance
Of Senators and the provisions Of the
Constitution, the Senate by a vote of
rs to 3 put power In the hands Of two
thirds Of its members in the future to
limit discussion and to say when a
vote shall be taken on a pending meas
ure. Those voting in the negative
were Senators La Toilette, Gronna and
Sherman.
Senate's Action Prompt.
Action by the Senate came unexpect-
eddy after six hours debate on the new
rule, drafted by a bipartisan commit
tee. Although both Democrats and
Republicans had approved the change
in caucus and Senator Martin, the ma
jority floor leader, had given notice
that the Senate would be kept in con-
tinuous session until a vote was taken,
nearly everyone looked for a much
longer discussion. Senators Cummins,
Kenyon, Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone
and Vardaman, who were against the
Armed Neutrality bill. voted for the
amendment.
Endorsement Of the cloture rule was
given by Senator Stone, of Missouri,
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, who, however, expressed
doubts as to its efficacy.

MEXICO ELECTS
GEN. CARRANZA
Chosen President BY Nearly
Unanimous Vote.
FIRST REAL ELECTION
No Intimidation Shown At PoIIs-oId
Residents Call II First Real
Election Ever Held In
Country.

Mexico City.-Gen. Venustiano Car.
rama was Sunday elected President Of
Mexico by what is believed to have
been the largest vote ever cast In the
republic.
Although the voters had the
privilege Of writing in or declaring any
name they desired, General C~arranza
received all but a few scattering bal
lots. The estimated vote cast runs all
the way from several hundred thou
sand to a million.
First Real Election.
The Presidential election was pro-
vided for in articles adopted by the
Constitutional Assembly which met at
Quertaro. Many Of the old residents
declare that this was the first real
election aver held in the country. Re-
ports from various parts of the repub-
lie indicate that there was nc disturb
ance or intimidation.
Although there was no opposition for
the Presidency, the Congressional con-
tests were bitterly fought.
Conditions at the polls throughout
the district were orderly and there was
a steady stream Of voters during the
day. Troops were not in evidence, the
soldiers casting their votes in their
barracks.
Madero Last President.
Mexico will now have a constitution
al President for the first time since
1911, when Francisco Madero received
more than 100000 votes. Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta called an election in
1914 and declared himself elected, but
later nullif1ed the election on the
ground that an insufficient number OF
votes had been cast.
His election to the Presidency
marks the climax Of the efforts OF Gen.
eral Carranza, who took the field
against Huerta February 10, 1918, after
Huerta had seized the executive
power.
