WILSON MAY LEAVE MEXICO
Huerta Practically Gives American
Ambassador His Passports.
Henry Lane Wilson, the American
ambassador to Mexico, has practically
received his passports. President
Huerta in an olliclal conversation with
Mr. Wilson declared that affairs had
reached a point where Mexico could
no longer be able to'treat in a diplo
matic manner with the United States
unless his government is officially
recognized.
Kverybotly seems to consider that
the situation between the two coun
tries Is very much strained and the
Americans here, while very much
worried, Justify the procedure of
Huerta for reasons which gre already
known.

TARIFF DILL
GOES TOSENATE
Given Approval in House by
Vote of 281 to 139
DEMOCRATS IN GAY HUMOR
AH Attempts by Two Minority Parties
to Amend Are Swamped Under Dem
ocratic Votes No Amendments.
UNDERWOOD'S WARNING.
Just before the tariff bill was
passed an announcement was
made by Representative I'nder
wood that created a stir. .Mr.
I'nderwood served notice that It
any manufacturer In the Unit
ed States attempted for political
reasons to discredit the new
tariff the administration had
agencies within its power to
deal out punishment to such
manufacturer by publicity of all
the farts.
Mr. Underwood was referring
to the law passed a year ago
creating the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. This
is the law which Secretary Red
field already has seized upon In
ordering his investigation of the
pottery industry, which has been
threatening to cut wages it the
Underwood rates prevail.
The Underwood tariff bill was
passed by the house by a vote of 281
to 139.
One Progressive and two Republi
can attempts to amend the bill had
been rejected by overwhelming votes
before the final vote was reached,
amid a great demonstration by Demo
cratic members of the house. -
The Payne motion to recommit the
hill and to substitute the Payne wool
bill and the Republican cotton bill for
these sections of the Democratic meas
ure was defeated by a vote of 296 to
123.
By a straight party vote the house
Democrats defeated a Republican at
tempt to force a vote ou an amend
ment to the I'nderwood bill providing
for a tariff commission. Speaker Clark
ruled the amendment out of order.
Republican Leader Mann appealed
from the decision, but by a vote of
274 to 143 the house laid the appeal
on the table.
Progressive Leader Murdock argued
against the point of order, declaring
that he was not in favor of the
"miserable makeshift commission pro
posed by the Republicans." He said he
wished to offer a real tariff commis
sion bill.
"The Republican leader," he shout
ed, "tells you that four years ago when
the Republicans were iu power they
were not afraid to go on record on a
motion to recommit No, they were
not afraid. Just look at them now."
A shout of applause from the Demo
crats greeted this statement as Mr.
Murdock pointed to the small gather
lng of Republicans. Several Republi
cans tried to Interrupt.
An attempt by the Progressives to
get a record vote on a motion to re
commit the tariff bill with instruc
tions to amend so as to provide for a
tariff board that would fix "protective
competitive rates" failed. A demand
for a roll call was defeated by a vote
of 17 to 255.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York ridiculed the attitude of the
minority in opposing the bill. He said
the. most scared political party In his
recollection was the Republican party
in March, 1909, and it was difficult to
say whether Representative Mann of
Illinois, now the Republican leader,
or Representative Murdock of Kan
tas, now the Progressive leader, was
the most scared."
Finally, amid cheers from the Dem
ocrats, Speaker Clark sustained the
point of order.
Seven Republicans, V. J. Carey and
W. H. Stafford of Wisconsin, William
Kent and John I. Nolan of California,
J. W. Bryan of Washington, M. C.
Kelly and A. R. Rupley of Pennsyl
vania voted with the Democrats.
Unions and Farmers Exempt.

fused to accept ail amendment to the
sundry civil bill by Senator Galllnger
striking out a clause exempting labor

000,000, finally was passed by a viva
voce vote with only one minor com
mittee amendment. H will be sent to
conference probably tomorrow and
should be ready for President Wilson's
consideration next week. Friends of
the president believe that he will sign
the bill.
Guthrie Nominated as Ambassador.
Ex-Mayor George W. Guthrie of
Pittsburg was nominated as ambas
sador to Japan by President Wilson,
'lis selection is said to be acceptable
to the senate and will be confirmed
promptly.
Mr. Guthrie won his first distinction
In politics as a reform mayor of Pitts
burg. He co-operated with Represent
ative A. Mitchell Palmer In securing
delegates in Pennsylvania for Gover
nor Wilson in the pre-conventlon cam
paign and was chairman of the Penn

ers, when refused a license, to appeal
to the superior court, was given a
test of what will happen to It when the
measure comes up In the house on

prevent the bill from being dropped
from the calendar, but the vote !n
favor of such action Indicates suf
ficient opposition to defeat the legis
lation. Governor Tener signed the Cox false
statement bill. The law makes It a
misdemeanor for any person knowing

RIOTING MARKS
TR0LLEYSTR1KE
Street Cars Stoned by Mobs
in Cincinnati
STRIKEBREAKER FATALLY HURT
Imported Men Not Much of a Success
In Handling Cars Four Leave the
Barns But Are Soon Abandoned.
Serious rioting In different parts ot
Cincinnati followed the attempt made
by the Cincinnati Traction company
to resume traffic as the result of the
walkout of Its motormen and con
suctors.
The company brought 2S0 strike
breakers to that city from Chicago and
Detroit. The men marched to the
Brighton car barns and the city au
thorities were notified that trnttlc from
the Brighton barns would be resumed.
Six cars manned by strikebreakers
were started out toward Fairmount,
a western suburb, and four cars to
ward the city. One car containing
about twenty strikebreakers was
brought to a halt half a mile from the
barn by a mob of strike sympathizers.
The strikebreakers fled, soared by
the threatening attitude of the mob,
and the abandoned car was then set
on fire, the police allege, by some
boys. An alarm was sent In and the
total destruction ' of the car pre
vented. The two cars going toward Fair
mount got to a point a mile from the
starting point when they were stopped
by a mob of about 300 men and boys.
Rocks commenced to fly and the crews
fled. One strikebreaker received a
scalp wound and was sent to a hos
pital. The two cars were partly de
molished by the mob.
Of the three cars that attempted to
reach the lower part of the town two
got no further than a few squares
from the barn when the crews fled and
the cars were returned under police
protection. The third car got one
block from police headquarters and
about a mile from the barn when a
mob of close to 3,000 men and boys
made further progress impossible by
taking the controller from the motor
man.
Bricks were flying from all sides
and Charles Weber, the motornian,
was hit In the abdomen. He was
taken to the city hospital, where he
was found to have received a ruptured
liver. His recovery is very doubtful.
Several other persons in the mob were
hit by flying stones and taken to hos
pitals. Chief of Police Copelan wlto a
large detail of men succeeded In re
storing order after telling the crowd
that the car would not be allowed to
proceed further downtown but would
be taken back to the barn.
So dense were the mots and so
hostile was the demonstration that the
trip of the car from the barn to a
point one mile distant and return
consumed over four hours.
There Ib serious talk of going to the
T'nlted States courts for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Cincinnati
Traction company on the ground of
failure to carry out the provisions of
its contract with the city. It Is
argued that the court would have to
find means to assure traffic resumption.

We went further wrote our other suit houses and found several of

MILITANTS ARE
BIGEXPENSE
Estimated They Cost England
$25,000,000 a Year
The damage to property in the Brit
ish Isles caused by the militant suf
fragettes during the past three months
amounts to more than $5,000,000, ac
cording to uu olliclal estimate made
by the authorities at police head
quarters in Scotland Yard.
To this sum, they say, must be
added the increased cost of protecting
lives and property. Three detectives
have been assigned to watch over
each member of the cabinet at all
times, while all suspected persons are
shadowed by plain clothes men and all
public buildings have beeu placed
under special guard.
Figured at this rate the suffragette
activities are costing the country at
least $1:5,000,000 a year.
