In electing Garza, tho convention de
clared Itself to be supreme.
Tho sudden change of the Chief Ex
ecutive was made at an extraordinary
session of the convention. The reason for
Garza replacing Gutierrez, who was re
appointed only last week by the Vllla
Zapata convention, was not disclosed, but
It Is supposed he was suspected of'trylng
to build up a personal following.

hastily could assemble, Is hurrying to the
capital from Auguaacallentes.
ARGENTINE EXHIBITS DOCKED
Transports' Cargoes to Bo Trans

Richmond piers. Tho 1003 men who ar
rived on the vessels to man tho battle
ship Moreno were taken to the New York
Shipbuilding Company and placed on
board the warship. They will steam for
home on her later In the week. The
merchandise carried by the transports
for Argentine merchants, because of the
scarcity of steamships, will be taken to
New York In a few days.
Tho exhibits for tho Panama-Paclflo
Exposition consist of manufactures, sam
ples of wheat, ores, hlds and art works.
They will be Placed on Doara a steam

Congress 'Has But Forty
Legislative Days Remain
ing. WASHINGTON, Jnn. 18.-Presldcnt Wit
son will give n three-hour hearing Fri
day to supporters and opponents ot the
Immigration measure, recently passed by
Congress and now awaiting his signature
or veto. The hearing was granted bO'
cause of tho scores of organliatlons wish
ing to bo heard on tho legislation, and
becnuso tho President Is desirous of
hearing arguments from both sides bofore
taking final action. It has been generally
understood that tho Prcs dent Is opposed
to tho measure becauso of the Inclusion
of tho literacy test provision.
Congress has passed tho liolf-way
mark In Its legitlatlvo caroor, which
will end by constitutional limitation
March 4 next. About six weeks of
tho session romaln, comprising about
40 legtslatlvo days, of which IS havo
been set apart undor tho rules of
tho House for tho consideration ot meas
ures such ns District of Columbia legis
lation, war claims, pensions and bills on
tho private calendar.
So far Congress has done little except
to work upon tho regular supply bills
for tho maintenance of tho Government
departments for the next fiscal year.
Five appropriation bills havo passed tho
House tho District of Columbia, tho ur
gent deficiency, tho legislative, executive
and Judicial, the postofllco and the. Indian
(bills and one, tho urgent dellclcnoy
ho been, disposed of In the Senate
Tho House Is now working on the river
and harbor bill, which will not bo passed
until the later part of this week, and
tho army, agricultural and navy appro
priation bills aro on the calendar await
ing consideration. In addition, the House
has defeated two proposed amendments
to tho Federal Constitution the Hobson
resolution for nation-wide prohibition and
the Mondell resolution for suffrage for
women.
Whether there will bo nn extra session
Is a -question that Is beginning to agitato
political circles. Both tho House and
the Henato havo many Important matters
to pass upon. Tho President Is under
stood to have mndo up his mind thnt the
Administration ship purchase bill for the
rehabilitation of tho American merchant
marine must bo passed at tho present
session.
In the Senate the fate of the ship pur
chase bill Is hanging by a thread. In
view of the rocks that Ho ahead of It,
the Democratic caucus has decided that
every effort will be mado to pass tho
measure, even If the appropriation bills
aro ditched to make way for It.
Republicans repudiate tho charge that
they aro filibustering against the ship
ping bill, declaring they desire only a
full discussion of the principle of Gov
ernment ownership Involved In It. Evi
dence, however, of open rovolt against
the attempts- of the Democrats to force
tho shipping bill on the Senate have been
apparent for some time, and Republican
loaders have served notice that they will
use every parliamentary move within
their power to prevent action until the
bill has been thoroughly considered.
MOVE TO OUST 0G0NTZ MAN
Criminal Proceedings May Bo Begun
Against Boslor.
District Attorney Shlcve, of Montgomery
County, Is expected to reply today to tho
Information lodged -with him by Attorney
Harvey Gourley, asking tho prosecutor
to Institute quo warranto proceedings
ngalnst Charles Hosier. Commissioner of
Ogontz. It Is contended In the Informa
tion lodged by Mr. Gourley, acting for
residents of Ogontz, that Commissioner
'Rosier Is Interested In townshlp.contmcts,
and It -was rumored thnt should quo war
ranto proceedings not be token to oust
ihlm. criminal charges will bo preferred.
Tho determination to oust Bosler Is tho
result, It Is said, of his opposition in the
nppoJntmont of William Mclntlre as town
ship engineer.
Harvey Gourley, a Philadelphia at
torney, said it was true that action would
be token against the Commissioner. Ho
said substantial evidence has been placed
before. District Attorney Shleve, showing
that Rosier has violated tho act which
prohibits holders of public office to have
a direct or financial Interest In any town
ship contract or tho award of contracts.
Commissioner Bosler was reluctant to
discuss the matter, saying he had no fear
and would await developments.

With the
Wool Market
All Out of Joint
We Start an
Unprecedented
Clear away of
Blankets
Today we face a situation in the wool market unexampled probably since the
Civil War.
Fifty per cent, of the wool used for all purposes in the United States is raised in the
United States. The rest has to be imported, but there is none coming in now. -England will
permit wool to be sent from Australia, the greatest of wool-raising countries, provided it
be shipped in British boats; but it seems there are no British boats available to carry it.
A short time ago an English firm bought close on to a million pounds of wool in
Boston and sent it back to England, from which it had originally come. The result, so far,
is that the wool-which was 38c a pound in October is now 60c a pound. That is, wool from
which are woven the blankets used in ninety out of every hundred homes.
WTiat will the price of wool be next October?
We don't know and we certainly have no desire to raise a scare. We merely state the
facts as they exist, and we desire to state at the same time that our blanket prices have
not risen. They were lower this season than they have been in many seasons.
They are lower now than ever," lower than they will be in many a day, because we
want to clear the stocks so as to provide against the most unfavorable market conditions
that canjpossibly ensue. Our old unrisen prices have now been reduced one-fourth to one
third, and we have never had so many blankets at these reductions made wholly or
principally from Australian wool, the finest and now the scarcest wool that grows.
