BANDIT ACTIVITY IN !
" MEXICAN REPUBLIC
GOVERNMENT FORCES IN VERA
CRUZ DEFEATED BY REBELS
SALES OF ARMS AND MUM.
TIONS SUSPENDED-IN OPEN
REBELLION

: Washington, April Official
advices received here today indicate
increased revolutionary and bandit
activity in the states Of Vera Cruz,
Jalisco and Nayarit in Mexico. The
rebels in Nayarit were reported to
number from 200 to 800 men under
the leadership of Pablo Gonzales. In
Jalisco, six separate bands were re-
ported in the field in open rebellion
against the central government, al
though their strength thus far is re-
garded as Insignificant.
The activity in Vera Cruz was re-
ported to have assumed considerable
importance in view Of the defeat
which the rebel leader, General Mi
guel Aleman, with band estimated
at 800 men, recently administered to
the federal forces. The federal COM
mander in Vera Cruz, it was said,
has reported that the.rebels are bet
ter armed and equipped than his
own forces and requested authority
to suspend the sales Of arms and
munitions of all kinds.
Noticeable decline in bandit
movements in the northern states Of
Mexico as reported in the dispatches,
despite sporadic uprisings in the
state of Coahuila and in southern
Chihuahua and Durango.
The spread of radicalism, it was
reported, continues lnalbated, with
impetus being given to the move
ment by emissaries from various
countries, including the Uuited
States. Those emissaries, it was said,
are organized and assisted through
the agency, of various radical orga-
nizations and have the support OF
some Mexican officials.
Control of the federal army, re-
garded as loyal to President Obre-
gon, and development Of the gov
'ernment's finances, however, were
declared to be the CHIEF factors in
the present Mexican situation.

FIGHT CONTINUES
OVER NAVAL BILL
INSIST THAT IT DOES
AND DOES NOT. CARRY OUT
PROVISIONS RATIO OF
TREATY BRINGS DISCUS.
SION

Washington, April 1.-THE fight
on the naval appropriation bill began
in the house today with members in
sisting that it did and that it did not
actually carry out the 5-5-3 ratio, as
fixed by the treaty. All day the dis
cussion centered around this one big
question in dispute.
Chairman Kelly Of the sub
committee on appropriations, which
drafted the measure, and others, in
cluding Representative Mondell of
Wyoming Republican leader declared
an enlisted force of $4,000 plus g.
900 apprentice seamen was ade-
quate to maintain the navy in &C.
cordance with the arms conference
rating. Others, however, including
Representative Padgett Of Tennes-
see, ranking Democrat on the naval
committee, which in former times
prepared the navy bills, asserted the
figures were so low "as to destroy
the efficiency of the American navy
and give it a standing the same as
or lower than that Of Japan.
In all there were seven speeches
during the day, three for and four
against the measure. Representative
Byrnes of South Carolina supported
the committee proposals, joining
Chairman Kelly and Mr.. Mondell in
it's defense. On the other side the
speakers with Mr.. Padgett were
Representatives Pinkham Of Massa-
chusetts, Hustled Of New York and
Ware of Pennsylvania, all Republi-
can members of the appropriations
committee who signed a minority re.
port urging a force of 10000 plus
5000 and who declared the commit
tee figures disrupted and ignored
the treaty.
There will be two full days Of gen.
eral debate with more later when
the personnel section is reached.
The name Of the president was
brought into the debate and there
were many verbal clashes as result.
Mr.. Monden questioned the propriety
of the incluson in minority views of
statement that the president had
urged $4,000 men or 10000 less than
the number requested by Secretary
Denby.
Asserting that $4,000 men would
not accomplish the aims of the
treaty, Mr.. Padgett suggested to the
committee that if it was unwilling to
accept the solemn judgment of the
secretary of the navy somebody
ought to be put in his place whose
advice would be accepted.

TARIFF MEASURE
IS PRESENTED
TREASURY EXPERTS ESTIMATE
BILL WILL RAISE $500, ,ooo, 900,
AN INCREASE OF so PER CENT
OVER THE PRESENT TARIFF
RNL-WIIL BE LONG FIGHT

manstration tariff bill as rewritten
by senate finance committee repub-
licans on the basis of foreign valua-
zion with provisions for flexible
rates and proclaimed American valu-
alton as recommended by President
Harding, was presented today to
the senate. It was announced that it
would be taken up on April 81. A
long fight is in prospect with some
estimates that it might continue for
three months.
Taken as whole the bill, &C.
cordinx to estimates of committee ex
perts averages sligtly higher than
the Payne-Aldrich law, the last re-
publican protective tariff act. AS
compared with the house measure,
the specific rates generally are high
er, but the ad valorem rates gener-
ally are lower as such rates in the
house bill were based on American
valuation.
Treasury experts have estimated
roughly that the bill will raise from
$3se,e00, 900 to $350,o00,00o Of
revenue annually, but they have not
yet had time to complete accurate
calculations. The house measure was
estimated to raise $500, 100000,
while the Underwood law yielded
between s2oo,ooo,ooo and $780,
100000.
There is division of opinion
among the farmers as to the prob
able effect the measure would have
on the cost of living. In the Official
report accompanying the bill it is
stated the committee majority had
"endeavored ITO recommend rates
that will afford protection to Ameri-
can indusry and permit them to pay
wages sufficient to enable our work
men to maintain an American STAN
dard in living"
With regard to the agricultural
schedule, one of the longest in the
bAi the report said the "committee
adopted the policy of giving to agri-
culture the measure Of protection
that has been accorded to other in
dustries, with due consideration to
the needs of all sections and of all
industries" The rates in this sche-
daIe generally average higher than
those in the house bill and includes
a large number of items which were
on the free list in the Underwood
bill, but placed on the dutiable list
in the emergency tariff act now in
force.
As a general rule, the rates writ
ten into the agriculture schedule are
at about the level demanded by the
senate republican farm tariff bloc.
Committee experts stated, however,
that with few exceptions the rates
in the agricultural schedule would
not exceed Is per cent This schedule
embraces meats, eggs, vegetables
generally, fruits and practically all
other products of the farm. The duty
on wheat was fixed at 35 cents a
bvshel, the same as under the emer-
geney act, but Eve cents above the
figure fixed in the house bill. Under
the democratic tariff act wheat was

Boston, July 26-Billie Burke stage star and wife of F'lorenz Zieg- field. was reported yesterday to have denied most emphatically the rumor that a coldness has come between her and her husband on account of Marilynn Miller
 Tt is absolutely untrue" she said Mir. Zegfeld is coming back 10 America, but it is not because of anything Miss Miller may have said l have not the slightest intention of leaving him"
 Replying to remarks Miss Miller Mir ziegfeld's alleged attentions to the Sally" star Miss Burke said:
 T don't know why Miss Miller should say those things. I'm not paying any attention to them, though, as a matter of fact, I haven't been reading her statements in the papers, and I'm not well posted on what she may have been saying.
 There is no personal feeling be- tween Miss Miller and myself so far as I know anything about it. l don't even know her personally, and I'm sure I've never done anything that would cause her to say such things about my husband. But I certainly am not going to ask for a divorce, no matter what the papers say'

WAS WRONG PAPENFOTH.
Paul and Not Herman is Man Josepl
 Wolfe Says He'll Sue.

The nc tice given out yesterday by Judge William Malone of Bristol that his client, Joseph Wolfe, is about to sne certain members of the police de- partment and the husband of Mrs. Papenforth of Russell street, the wora- an who caused his arrest on a charge of assault, has caused slight mixup, owing to the fact that newspapers have ider tifad the former con plain ing witness as Mrs. Herman Papen- 10th.
 Mrs. Papenfoth, the original con- blaming witness, advised the Herald of the error, The man referred to by Mir. Wolfe is her husband, Paul A. Fapenfoth. she said, but emphatically denied that he lad handled Mir. Wolfe roughly.
 The police warrant against Wolfe was seen this afternoon. It contains only the name of Mrs. Papenfoth," giving no Christian name. The city directory gives but two Papenfoth names-"Hernlan A. Papenfoth, h, 75 Russell street" and Mrs Theresa Papenfoth, res. 75 Russell street." Herman Papenfoth is a son with whom Mir. and Mrs. Papenfoth make their home.

SAYS GERMANY IS
 HAVING HARD TIME
Miss Emma Ramm, Writing Home From That Country, Tells of
 Hariships People Encounter.

Miss Emma Ramm of III BeIden street who Is visiting in Germany, has written several letters home to her mother in this city telling of the conditions existing in that country at the present time. Miss Ramm sailed for Germany on May 25 for the pur- pose of witnessing the Passion Play which was presented at Oberammcr- gau.
 Miss Ramm. in one of her letters, says the people have 10 pay exor- bant prices for their daily needs such as food-stuffs and clothing. However, to the average American tourist, the prices seem perfectly all right com pared to those in this country. Prac- tically every person in the country Is taxed to the utmost and a sum Of money Is drawn from their pay In order to meet the expense the coun- try sustained during the war. Miss Ramm writes.
 Latest reports from Miss Ramm stated that she was in Vienna and would travel through the country be- fore her return here. She says that her relatives, who were comparatively rich before the war, are now consid- eredsin the average class as they have been forced to exhaust their savings In order to keep up.
 Miss Ramm Is being accompanied by Mrs. Henry Bauer of this city and they plan to sail for this country on the steamer Mongolia, on August 12.

HENRY AND ME"
 STAND TOGETHER
Editor White Introduces Gov. Allen And Latter Comments Man
 Whose Arrest He Has Caused

Emporia, Kan, July 26. - Henry and Me" are still the Damon and Py- rhias of Kansas Their mutual ad- miration society held a loving meet ing yesterday at which Gov Henry Allen delivered monologue on the sterling worth of William Allen White.
 They met at the State Normal school and walked about the campus arm in arm as though the state indus trial court law had never come be- tween them. The only references to the editors arrest for displaying a placard declaring his sympathy with the striking railroad shopmen were jests that hurt nobody's feelings.
 Bill introduced Henry when the governor spoke in the school auditor ium and Mir. Allen proceeded to take his friend to task for his definance of the industrial act.
 If trouble should arise in Elm poria," he said, Bill White would be a brigadier general in the posse which would go out to protect law and order. I've been with Bill under all conditions and I know he's not dangerous. He wouldn't hurt flea.
 The only time Bill White is dan gerous is when he sits down before a double action typewriter and writes out his emotions.
 When he posted the sympathy card, Bill wasn't violating the pro prieties of human rights. but he was joining in the movement to break down the efforts of the railroads to keep trains running. Then he be- came the most dangerous figure in that movement because of the faith so many people have in him and his opinions. We had to single Bill out and arrest him because he is a leader so his arrest Is a great compliment to him.

Be Careful What You
 Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoo contain too much alkal, which is very injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsif1ed cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsi1ed at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful of Mulsfied is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, celanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking. bright, fluffy wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it oosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsifed
