"Kidnaping" Americans

report received at the state depart
ment announcing the release of
Joseph Williams, who had been
carried of into the mountains by
Villa last week after an attack on
a train in which Williams was a
passenger. Williams was the fifth
American captured by the outlaw
in two months, all of whom have
been released without the payment
of ransom.
Cut on From News.
In the message Villa explained
that only a vague idea of what was
going on in the outside world
could be had where he was. and
the desire to learn more, to gain
the Americans point OF view and
determination to give opportun-
tiles to carry back with them some
of his own theories of what a gov
ernment should be, had caused him
to determine to gather in his
guests where he might find them
regardless Of their willingness to
accept his invitation.

Washington, D. c., March IL
While the senate of the United

tions, especially one that would per-
NIT this country lone to interpre,
the Monroe doctrine. the govern
ments of Central and South Amer
ica have quietly sought and OBJ
tained an Interpretation of that

The government OF Salvador was
the leader in the movement, which
has now taken on all the formality
necessary to make the definition

For the covenant of the League O,
Nations will become international

cerned, and Salvador has JUS. de.
clded to enter the league with the
understanding Of the Monroe doc.
trine officially given her by the de.
partment OF state upon instruction
from President Wilson. Some fu.
ture administration can, OF course
interpret the Monroe doctrine diff
ferently, for it is a national policy
but the legal value of an excep
ton noted at the time of entrance
to the league cannot be exagger,
ated. AS the senate of the United
States has phrased it, the MonrOt
doctrine was not only to be inter
preted by the United States alone
but any incoming member of thu
league would have been in the posi-
tion OF signing a blank check ac
cepting any Interpretation which
future administrations might seel
to impose. At least now they hav,

Washington, March 11.-A 25 per
cent wage increase for bituminous
coal miners is recommended in a
majority report of the commission
appointed by President Wilson to
settle the coal strike.
No change in working hours or
conditions was recommended. John
P. White, representing the miners,
held out for a higher wage increase,
# was said, and will submit a
minority report.
The wage increase proposed will
absorb the IA per cent granted
when the miners returned to work
last November, so that the actual
increase is IL per cent over present
wages
The majority recommended that
The eheck-off system, by which the
operators collect from the miners
dues to the unions, be retained. 1t
also recommended that the ques-
ton Of differentials be referred to
. special commission to be ap-
pointed by the joint wage scale con-
ference and to report in two years.
Not Retroactive.
The wage increase would not be
made retroactive The commission
did not ask that the powers of the
fuel administration be conferred on
It.
The majority recommendations
were submitted today to President
Wilson, but have not yet been
made public. White house officials

The report was submitted to the
president only after the commission
had labored for several days in an
enort To compose its differences
and make unanimous report as il
was requested to do in the letter
from President Wilson creating il
last November.
The majority made no recon-
mendation as to price increases to
cover the advances in wages. Its
statement that it did not ask for

taat the question of increased

IT seems that the chamber

IT seems that the chamber
of commerce has question
to decide at its next meeting.
At least the town authorities
are awaiting expression from
this citizen organization on
the proposition to amend or
repeal the FIRE limit ordinance.
The fire limits embrace the
business part Of town in
blocks A and B fronting on
First street and extending be-
tween Occur d'Alene and
Mccartney streets. The ordi-
nance which was enacted in
1908 was designed to lessen
the fire hazard by prohibiting
any extensive remodelllng or
charging of wooden buildings
in those blocks. The question
is being brought up. at this
time on the point that a GER
tain wooden building, now
vacant, will be occupied if it
is permitted to be improved,
whereas if the improvement is
not permitted it is claimed the
building must remain vacant
indefinitely with little pros
pect of ever being replaced
with a fire proof structure.
