Gen. Gales Has Failed to

iSe of Cooperation.

Washington, May 21.-Francisco
villa, who has defied every govern
ment in Mexico since the over
throw of Madero, already has be-
come an embarrassment to officials
Of the new de facto government.
A report to the state department
today that villa had captured and
was holding for $4,000 ransom
George Miller, British superintend-
ent of the Alvarado Mining and
Milling company at Parral, Chi
huahua, followed a report that
General Gales had failed to obtain
from the outlaw leader an uncon-
ditional promise of cooperation.
A. j, McQuarters of New York
president of the mining company,
today sought the advice of govern
ment officials regarding payment
of the ransom. The state depart
ment, it is understood, has taken
no action, although it was regarded
probable that representations would
be made, not to the authorities in
Mexico City, but to the de facto
leaders in Chihuahua.
Representatives here of the rev.
Olutionary government said they
doubted the report that a ransom
had beer demanded for Millaer's S re-
lease and called attention to the
repeated seizure by Villa Of Amer
leans since the beginning of the
year and their subsequent release.
His action was explained by states
ments attributed to Villa that he
was following the course most like
ly to provide him the most up-to-
date news and means Of transmit
ting his own ideas to some on the
outside.
The dispatch to Rafael Zuburan,
to Chihuahua, was regarded here
as a move toward further effort to
bring Villa into the revolutionary
movement.
Neither official nor unofficial re-
ports indicated that the authorities
at Mexico City had carried out their
implied threat to force payment of
the export taxes due from the oil
companies.

ment and the revolutionary agents

ME- ETHOD|STS NOT
|. To MAKE CHANGE
IN THEIR CREED
Proposal to Eliminate the
Phrase "the Holy Catholic
Church" Is Reported Ad-
verSeIy by Committee


Des Moines, Ia, May 21,-The
apostles creed of the Methodist
Episcopal church will not be
changed, if the general conference
here upholds the recommendation
of the commistee of state of the
church, made public today.
A minority report, however, will
be submitted to the general con-
ference, it was said, asking that Il
change be made to eliminate the
phrase The Holy Catholic church. -
The creed now reads 81 believe in
the holy ghost, the holy catholic
church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of SINS" etc. The
word Catholic" is used in the sense
of general, and has no reference to
the Catholic church as that term
Is generally understood. However,
the signers of the minority report
desire to eliminate any reference
to the word catholic"
The report of the committee on
education, recommending a number
of changes in the law of the church
W lllt VI tIt
board of education, has been adopt
ed. The most important change IS
a provision which makes 1t neces-
sary for each annual conference
throughout Methodism to send to
the board of education all money
raised in the conference for educa-
tion purposes. Heretofore so per
cent of such money has been re-
tained by the annual conference
and appropriated as it deems best,
and 20 per cent sent to the board
for disbursement.
Beginning tomorrow, afternoon
sessions of the conference, will be
held in order that all work before
that body may be completed in
time for the final adjournment at
noon on Thursday, May 81.

Washington, May 21.--A reading
contest between Secretary Dan
iels and Chairman Hale of the
senate naval investigating commit
tee developed today in the cross
exa animation of the secretary.
Exhaustive excerpts from con-
flicting testimony of other wit
nesses as to the navy's conduct of
the war were cited Most of the
interchanges had to do with the
navy's plans for war with Germany
prior to Americas entry.
The secretary insisted that COM
plete plans had existed. Senator
Hale said there had been much
talk of these plans but that the
com mittee had not seen them,
despite repeated requests.
Mr.. Daniels expressed doubt as
to the wisdom of disclosing them
in detail. After conference with
Rear Admiral Badger. head of the
general board, however, he agreed
that all naval plans ready In 19lf
should be laid before the commit
tee in executive session next week,
The secretary warned the commit
tee that while no longer appllc-
able to Germany the plans en-
bodied basic strategy that would
govern the navy in meeting any
power in the Atlantic. 1t was for
that reason that an executive ses-
sion was stipulated, he said.
Through his cross-exam mination
the secretary maintained that the
committee which investigated the
award of navy war honors. also
headed by Senator Hale, had eX-
ceeded its authority in forcing
"ostentatious' publication of Ad-
miral Sims letter criticizing the
departments conduct of the war.
When the chairman agreed that

"some one" had previously caused

that Admiral Sims had it 'in his
pocket" when he appeared to be
questioned on naval awards and

Washington May 21.--The SEN
ate resolution repeating the reso-
luton by congress declaring a state
of war with Germany and Austria
was passed by the house today and
made ready for immediate dispatch
to the president, who is expected to
veto it.
The vote was 22S to 1879, and
was along strict party lines except
that nineteen democrats joined re-
publicans in supporting the meas
ure, while two republicans-Kelly
of Michigan and Fuller of Massa-
chusetts opposed 1t.
Democratic supporters of the
resolution were:
Ashbrook, Ohio; Caldwell, New
York; Cullen, New york: Dooiing

lane, Pennsylvania Maher. New

Sullivan, New York; Tague, Mas

From the size of the republican
vote 1t was clearly indicated that
the resolution could not be passed
over the veto of the president. The
senate vote on passage last Weef
was 4S to 3S.
The house total lacked seventeen
votes of the two-thirds necessary to
override, the veto. Seven democrats
against the measure, which was a
substitute for the house resolution,
were haired with republicans Ia
voring it.

BOSTON PLANS A

Boston, May 27.--The fire en-
gine is to disappear from the
streets of town Boston. The
lively spectacle OF gaIloping horses
with an engine in town went out
with the advent of the motor
drawn engine, and now motor and
steam engines are to be forced
from the city proper entirely. A
high-pressure water system, in
which only hose trucks will be used
is assured of early operation by the
signing of contracts for three
pumping stations.
A gridiron of pipe lines has been
constructed under the streets, the
nigh pressure pipage now laid ag-
gregating 90 miles with 262 hy-
drants. Eventually, under present
plans, the system will be extended
to include more than eighteen
miles Of pipe.
Through this pipe $4,000 gallons
of water a minute will be forced
at 300 pounds pressure, or approx
mately $4,000 gallons at the more
practical pressure of 200 pounds.
from four pumping stations which
will be operated this year. Three
additional pumping units are
planned, which will increase the
volume of water to $4,000 gallons

water from the harbor, the domes-

Operation of the new system, it

A mark down of Is per cent has

SOLDIER RELIEF
LEGISLATION IS
GIVEN Sc BACK
Bill Probably Will Not Be
Brought Before the House
Until Next Week; Repub-
IiCan Plan Is Opposed.

Washington, May 21.--Plans for
faction tomorrow on the soldier re-
lief proposition in the house were
abandoned tonight by republican
leaders. No date was set for call
ing up the bill but it was expected
to get it before the house Tuesday
or Wednesday.
This decision was reached be-
cause of prospective coalition be-
tween a majority of the democrats
and minority of the republicans,
the latter opposing any cash bonus.
The combination Planned either to
defeat the rule giving the bill the
right of way for passage or amend
the rule and leave the bill open for
amendment.
Before the republican leaders
were called together an Informal
democratic poll showed virtually
solid opposition to the republican
program. 1t was also disclosed that
the anti-honus republicans num-
bered sixty, and by combining with
the democrats might upset the re-
publican control.
Anticipating action on the bill
tomorrow, both Chairman Fordney
of the ways and means commit
tee. and Representative Henry I.
Rainey, ranking democratic mem
Der. filed their reports on the
measure late in the day. Neither
offered any direct argument for or
against passage of the bill. Mr.,
Fordney declared the legislation
could be financed only by new
taxes. without which. he said, the
measure would be "ineXpedient if
not entirely useless"
Mr.. Rainey attacked the taxa
tion scheme. declaring 1t i'll con-
sidered and calculated to "hurry
us even nearer financial disaster"
He advocated "A war profits tax and

deavor to include 1t in the bill

signed primarily as a republican
campaign proposition" said the

that not single tax takes effect

is not the slightest intention of
irving to pass the hill through the

The subcommittee on relation OF
commerce and industry In another
report, declared there seems to be
little doubt that public opinion
supports regulation of public utili'
ties and for the most part other
classes of business should be sub
jected to little or no regulation.
Federal incorporation or license oi
interstate business and preference
of federal over state regulatory
bodies where there is a conflict
were approved.
"Opinion seems clear" the re-
port said, that any increase In
equipment and in output in any
line of business which is accom-
panied by tendency toward
monopoly calls for a considerable
amount of regulation, but that q
mere increase in physical equip
ment and in volume of output with
no tendency toward monopoly does
not call for regulation.
at is also held that combina-
ton of units, formerly under sepa-
rate control but without any in
crease in equipment or in output
the combination being formed Tor
some other purpose than monopoly
does not call for any considerable
amount of regulation. However
mere size does not seem to be the
occasion for regulation"
