Chamber of Commerce
Treaty Stand Protested
W. w. Merrill Charges Resolu-
ton Urging Compromise Was
damned" Through

William Willis Merrill, for fifteen
years a member of the Chamber of
Commerce, protested yesterday against
the action of the chamber last Thurs
day, when resolutions calling for the
ratification of the peace treaty were
adopted over the votes of him self and
others.
"The action of the chamber in jam
ming through the resolution, which was
used as propaganda by the League to
Enforce Peace in a full-page ADVERTISE
ment to-day, was dastardly. and does
not represent the honest sentiment of
the chamber said Mr. Merrill yester-
day. There are number Of names
signed to the executive committee
roster as fathering the resolution, and
question whether the men had the
slightest knowledge their names were
being used. 1t is customary to have
resolutions Rrinted and copies sent to
the members Nothing of the kind was
done with this. Just as Ole Hanson
was ready to speak up jumped Darwin
P. Kingsley and offered this resolu-
tion. 1t is highly Objectionable to the
majority of the chamber. If any no.
tice had been given we would have had
a substitute resolution, with speakers
to advocate it,"
The action of the chamber was
neither informal nor pecipitate," said
yelling Ring, chairman of the execu-
tive committee, yesterday. THE reso-
luton was discussed four times in the
executive committee. Mr.. Kingsley read

Measure Containing Anti
Strike Provision Passes.
Only To Be Recalled AZ
ter Parliamentary Trick
Test Control, Says Myers
Time Has Come to Decide
Issue Between Organized
Labor and U. s., He Asserts

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-Passaee of
the Cummins railroad bill by the Sem
ate was prevented late to-day by de-
mand of Senator La Toilette, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin, for a quorum. Senate
leaders predicted, however, that the
measure, designed to meet conditions
incident to the return of the railroads
to private control and operation would
pass the Senate within a day or two.
The Senate had just defeated, in
rather perfunctory manner, an amend
ment by Senator Curtis, Republican,
Kansas, to eliminate the entire section
providing for the creation of trans
portation board and the bill was taken
out of the committee of the whole and
put before the Senate on it's passage.
The chamber was not half filled when
Vice-President Marshall called for a
vote on the bills passage, and it was
passed, but before the result could be
announced Senator La Toilette de-
manded a quorum. This reopened the
measure for discussion and amendment.
Time for Test, Says Myers
In discussing the bill to-day, Senator
Myers said the anti-strike provisions
afforded "the time and opportunity to
make the final test of the issue be-
tween the government and organized
labor" Labor seeks power and advan-
tage, apparently with no thought of the
common welfare, he declared, and the
coal miners "openly defed an injunc-
ton issued from high Federal court"
- Affirming his belief that Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was unable 10
stem the tide of radicalism in the
ranks of American labor, the Senator
charged the labor leader had joined
hands with radical elements in the
steel strike.
A national railroad strike that con-
tlnued two weeks would cause the
death of FIVE to ten million persons.
Senator Myers said, supporting the
anti-strike clause Of the Cummins bill
When the roads were losing a

the situation to demand increased pay

had asserted that if anti-strike provi-
sions of the railroad bill were enacted
workers would not obey them, the
Senator said, and added: 81 favor TAX
ing up that challenge. If the Federal
government cannot triumph in this
battle against the inner government
constitutional rule in this country is
dead.
"The United Mine Workers Of
America are in open rebellion against
constituted authority. They have
trampled under foot a decree issued by
a high court: If the government
further costs on the people, it will
make q mistake that will return to
plague it for many years to come.
II believe that the people of the
country have reached a point where
their backs are against the wall and
no choice remains except to fight the
issue to the end" y

the information was secured. conv

The, committee. the memorandum

President Carranza calls his "Blue

attention is called to "the oppressive

resisted every such encroachment. and
that in every instance, from the first
proposed Niagara conference down to
and including the American protests

leased last Thursday night, declared in
statement last night that he had
acted on his own initiative. Mr.. Han
sen said:
"On Tuesday morning last, on ac-
count of certain facts that came to my
attention, which l am in no position to
disclose, suddenly realized that war
between the United States and Mexico
was inevitable unless one of the two
governments was ready to sacrifice it's
honor, prestige and dignity by re-
ceding from the dangerous position
into which it was forced.
II therefore took all the steps neces-
sary to effect the immediate release on
bail of w. 0. Jenkins and relieve the
tension. did so spontaneously and of
my own initiative, and I am ready and
willing to take upon myself the full

4 Shot From, Behind,
Saws TuYnDicO Pnne1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-James Wal
lace, the American who was killed by a
Mexican soldier at Tampico on Novem-
Der 26, was shot through the head from
behind, according to the Tampico
Tribune" an English newspaper, un-
der date of November 20, which reached
Washington to-day. After reading the
newspaper officials here were inclined
to discredit the official report of the
Mexican Embassy that Wallace was in
toxicated at the time he was killed.
The Tampico "Tribune" report says:
"wednesday morning, at little after
o'clock, James Wallace, foreman of
the pipe line crew for the Cia Mexi-
cana de Petroleo Eel Aguila,' while rid
ing on horseback from the central part
of Ell Potrero camp to the tank farm,
was shot from behind and instantly
killed, according to information ob-
tanned at the Aguila company's Offices.
Nobody was with Wallace at the
time of the shooting, and up to the
present time no witnesses have been
found and no motive is known for the
deed. Some men heard the shot fired.
and on going to investigate found Wal
lace lying dead on the ground with a
bullet wound in the back of the head.
The bullet penetrated the head and
came out under the lower lip"

conception of his duty, and having
stated that he would further familiar

sibility. Of course, now rests upon him.

The answer Of the Carranza govern
ment to the second note from the State
Department relative to the case Of
William o. Jenkins, who was released
from prison after the American note
had been dispatched, was to be deliy-
cred to the American Embassy in
Mexico City to-day, the State Depart
ment was advised.
Secretary Lansing said, however, that
he doubted whether the text of the
reply would reach Washington before
late tomorrow or Wednesday. He
pointed out that the note probably
would be in Spanish and would have
to be translated into English and then
reduced to code before being forwarded
by Charge d'Affaires Summerlin, of the
American Embassy in Mexico CITY.

MRS. |. c. BROOKS
TO SEEK DIVORCE
Mrs. Stotesbury's Daughter Is
Home-WiII Begin Suit in
France
SHE ARRIVED, ON ADRIATIC

Mrs. Louise Cromwell Brooks, who
arrived from France on the steamship
Adriatic yesterday, is at the home OF
her mother. Mrs. Il. n. Stotcsbury, pre-
pairing for trip to Palm Beach.
Her arrival caused rumors that she
had decided to drop her plans TO sue
Captain Walter i. Brooks for divorce,
but these reports were denied. Her suit,
il was said, will be filed in Paris in
short time.
Mrs. Brooks had intended to be
with her mother and hcr two children
on Christmas Day. but the Adriatic
did not arrive on this side in time, and
Mrs. Brooks came to Philadelphia last
night. going to the StoteSbury home.
Mrs. Stotcsbury is quoted as saying
that Mrs. Brooks would carry out her
intention of obtaining divorce in
France from Captain Brooks. The first
step toward this end was taken when
Mrs. Brooks sailed for France early
last summer on the Mauretania, ac
companied by her brother, Lieutenar'
James II. Il. Cromwell. The French
laws require Il five months residence in
that country before suit can be brought.
Mrs. Brooks reached Paris in June,
and when she returned to this country
had completed the necessary five months
in France. The way is now clear, it
is said for her suit. which will be on
the grounds of desertion.
Captain Brooks. who served with
distinction in the army during the war.
returned from Europe last August and
is making his home in Baltimore.
Captain and Mrs. Brooks were mar
ried on May Il, 1911, in st. Thomas S
Church. Washington. They made their
home in Baltimore and in Ann Arbor.
When Captain Brooks went abroad
to serve in the army Mrs. Brooks went
to live with her mother.
