The Senate appro- izations committee today adopted Senator Bourne's amendment to the sundrv civil bill appropriating $160.- 000 for continuing road construction in Crater Lake National Park. Later, when Senator Bourne learned that Rep- resentatlve Lafferty had assured the House that the State of Oregon would gladly take this park off the hands of the Government, be expressed grave doubts as to the ability of the Senate to hold this amendment In con ference. The fact that House leaders are anx ious to act upon Laferty's suggestion and get rid of the park will Justify them In opposing any large appropria tion this year, especially If they carry out their present Intention and pro vide for the transfer of the park to the state at the next regular session of Congress.

MADERO'S BROTHER SLAIN (Continued From First Pate.) the fighting continued more than two hours. Government Object to Demands. One of the demands of the Zapatistas, made today by commissioners repre senting that section of the rebels, was that all Zapatista officers be admitted to the regular establishments with cor responding rank, some having assumed the title of general. To this the gov ernment strongly objected. The commissioners left to report to their chief, and soon word came back that the Zapatista considered the revolu. . tlon still in progress. The government has sent forces southward toward Cuernavaca along the line of the Central Railway. portion of which, destroyed by rebels. will be rebuilt. Reports from the State of Morelos indicate that the work of destruction during the last 24 hours has been more complete than Is ordi narily undertaken by the rebels. Others Will Hake Peace. To offset the antagonism of the Zapatistas, however, the government believes there will be no difficulty in concluding arrangements for peace with Juan Andrew Almazan and Julio Radillo the two most prominent leaders In the State of Guerrero. Nor Is there much doubt felt tnat arrangements can be made by the government agents sent to Kl Paso with representatives of Orozco's army. Benjamin Arguemedo, Cbeche Campos and the two Orozcoa, the most valiant leaders. It Is announced here, have ex pressed willingness to co-operate. Their field chiefly has - been In the district about Torreon, and if the expected ar rangements are made It Is not improb able that they may be employed In com bating the elements of the new revolu tlon centered In Coahulla, Huerta Disclaims Vena-efulness. President Huerta Insists that bis will not be a government of retaliation or revenge, but will devote Its energy to placation of persons mildly antagonistic and to stern repression of its active enemies. As Indicating the sincerity of the president, most of those who were ar rested immediately after the overthrow of Madero have been released, among them Juan Sanchez Azcona, Madero' private Secretary. An amnesty proclamation has been sent broadcast. The government has not forgotten to extend rewards. As a reneral. Huerta long resented the failure of some of his companions in rm- rrPivA nromotioD. and since his assumption of power new straps have been bestowed upon numerous officers. Among those thu- honored was I colonel l'lMi UlUiit. ueucrai DlaI. chief lieutenant at Vera Cruz.

Minister of Justice, probably will retire from the cabinet, so that he may be free to conduct his own campaign for the presidency. A report is current that he baa had disagreement with President Huerta. this, however, and says Reyes denies that If he retires it will be because of private business. VANCOUVER TROOPS INSPECTED I Twenty-First Infantry Assemble Equipment, Awaiting Orders. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash., Feb. 25. (Special.) The Twenty-first Infantry was ordered to the field to day for field Inspection, and all were prepared and equipped as though ready to start to war, under command of Colonel George S. Toung. Tents were pitched, the wagon trans portatlon was out and the garrison took on an aspect that war was being de clared, and that the United States troops were camping here, ready to advance. The Second Field Artillery, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Ed ward F. McGlachlln, Is being ordered to the field for Inspection, one bat tery at a time. Yesterday one was out, and today another was Inspect ed. It Is probable that the third bat tery will be ordered out tomorrow. While no orders for the removal of troops from here to the Mexican border have been received, they are all ready to go on short notice. CIVIL SERVICE ATTACKED CABINET OFFICERS DECLARED HELPLESS. Provision Requiring Popular Elec tion of Fourth-Class Postmasters Kuled Ont After Debate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. "There Is tics behind the civil service today than is understood by the public Senator Smith, of Michigan, said today in a fight over the Postofllce appropriation bill In the Senate. There has not been a Cabinet officer in . chares of anv department of the Government in recent years who actual ly has run his own department." he continued. "He has been blindfolded by the men In the department who are protected by the civil service laws. If you seek to know anything, you have" to go to one of these men rather than to the chief who mav have been selected because be helped his political party.' The provision In the Dostofflce bill to require popular election of post' masters In fourth-class offices paying salaries of more than 300. provoked great debate. Senator Brlstow said It would prove a much more satisfactory method of filling postofflces than to place the postmasters under civil serv ice rules. The provision finally was stricken out of the bill on a point of order which the chair sustained. FARM EXPERT AT ST' PAUL TV "nAvan I An A if An t A nlinlfnlcrC ' - '" - ' - 'I" - """ "e S"vu...i...

OUTLOOK irj MEXICO 13 MUCH BRIGHTER Huerta Regime Professes Ex cellent Disposition Toward American Citizens. WILSON'S NOTES REASSURE Demand to Be Made in Senate Today for Adequate Protection of Texas Border El Paso Complains at Troops'. Leaving. WASHINGTON. Feb. 25 The Ad ministration is taking a much' more hopeful view of the outlook in Mexico, This was reflected In the Cabinet meeting today, when all of the recent dispatches from Ambassador Wilson and American Consuls In various parts of Mexico were read and discussed. The conclusion was reached that nothing remains to be done at this time to safe' guard American Interests In Mexico, in view of the excellent disposition professed toward Americans by the Huerta government Attitude Believed Assumed. The only threat of serious trouble came from the Consul at. Cludad Por flrlo Diaz, who reported that Colonel Jesus Carranza, brother of the Gov ernor of Coahulla, had arrived in that town today with an armed band of 200 men, with the Intention of estab lishing headquarters in the city Moncolva. It Is strongly suspected, however, that the apparently bellicose attitude of some of the Madero Gov ernors and other officials, as well as that of a number of rebel leaders, had been assumed In the hope of Inducing the new government to provide them with remunerative offices. A demand upon the Government for adequate troops to protect El Paso and other border points will be made tomorrow upon the Senate by Senators from Texas and New Mexico. Citlca on Border Complain. . Many telegrams from city and state officials received . by Senators Shep pard, of Texas, and Senators Fall and Catron, of New Mexico, resulted In their determination to ask the Senate to demand an explanation from the War Department for the recent orders withdrawing border troops. The protests are directed at the concentration of the border troops at Galveston. It is asserted this leaves unprotected a long stretch of country where the Mexican forces are strong' est Texas Troops May Be sent. - The most vigorous protests today came as the result of the withdrawal of artillery from El Paso. A telegram received tonight by Senator Sheppard from C. E. Kelly, Mayor of El Paso, said in part: It Is impossible for us to conceive of any reason for what is being done here, and It Is exposing our people to an unnecessary hazard. Cannot some thing be done to prevent further move ment of troops from here? A large part of the artillery was sent from ere this morning. What relief may we expect? Please communicate with War Department and ascertain its pur poses, as we must organize for protec tion and have state troops sent here if it Is the purpose of the Government not to place here Immediately an ade quate number of Federal soldiers." The attitude of the revolutionists in the Durango district toward the Huer ta regime remains problematical. A band of 68 bandits sacked and par tially burned property of the American Smelters Securities Company near VI- lardenas, Sunday night and the Ameri can manufacturer, who was attacked and beaten, saved his life only by the payment of 500 Mexican dollars to his assailants. The Consul at Durango further re ports that 200 volunteers have deserted from the Torreon garrison, presumably to fight against the new government He says bridges on the Mexican rail road have been burned north and south of Torreon and between that city and Saltillo. Representative Hawley asked the State Department to request Ambassa dor Wilson to make a search In Mexico City for A. R. O'Brien, father of the editor of the Marshfield Record. O'Brien resided Just across the street from the T. M. C A. building in Mexico City, and all efforts of his son to ascertain by telegraph, if he is still alive, have failed.. His last letter was mailed a week 'before the fighting started in Mexico City. Moving-Picture Men Summoned. WASHINGTON. Feb. 25 Hearing of the Government's anti-trust suit against the so-called motion-picture trust will be resumed In New Tork Thursday. Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant to the Attorney-General, in charge of the case, has summoned nu merous owners of theaters and owners of rental exchanges alleged to have been put out of business by the "trust" to testify at the hearing, which will last three days.

Government Believes Case Does Not Present Sufficient Evidence to Warrant Conviction. DALLAS, Tex., Feb. 26. On orders from the Department of Justice, in dictments brought here for alleged vlo lation of the Sherman anti-trust law by officials of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Tork, the Standard Oil of New Jersey and Magnolia Petro leum of Texas, were nolle prossed to day. The Indictments were dropped both against the companies and their officials. The men against whom the indict' ments are dropped are John D. Arch- bold and H. C. Folger, Jr., of New fork; W. C Teagle, of Plainfield, N. J.; Calvin N. Paine, of Tltusville, Pa.; A. C. Eble, of Dallas; F. R. Brown, of Corsicana, Tex., and John Sealy, of Galveston. This is the case which Representa tive Garner, of Texas, brought before the National House of Representatives, objecting to Attorney-General Wicker sham's action in holding up the serv ing of the warrants issued In Texas against Archbold, Folger and Teagle. Today's proceedings took place In the court of Federal Judge Meek, of the Northern District of Texas, where the indictments were found. No reasons for nolle prosslng the cases were given, the action being taken on brief instructions from Acting Attorney-General Fowler at Washing ton to dismiss the cases. The Indict ments charged that the three com panles conspired in June, 1912, to In ure the business of the Plerce-For dyce OH Association. The business al leged to be affected is In Texas, Art zona. New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mexico. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The Texas oil Indictments were dismissed by order of Attorney-General Wickersham be cause In his belief the Government did not possess sufficient evidence on which to convict The Attorney-Gen eral for several months has been In vestlgating the character of the evi dence upon which the indictments were based, and in the meantime "has held up the service of warrants for the ar rest of Messrs. Archbold, Folger and Teagle, of the Standard Oil, on the theory that unless the Government had sufficient evidence it was useless to serve the warrants. ' Today's action, it is said, does not interfere with the big oil investigation of the Department of Justice to de termine whether Standard Oil com pany's former subsidiaries have vlo lated the decree of dissolution. This Inquiry is Nation-wide and is said to embrace the situation in Texas. WICKERS HAM DEFENDS STAND Any Other Than Standard Oil, Says Official, Would Not Be Indicted. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25.

Excellent, too. for croup, whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, boarseness ana other throat troubles. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Taka a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. This is just laxative enough to help cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe tite, which is usually upset by a cough.

The only persons who believed there was grounds for the in dictments was the Government prose cutor in that district and he probably was Influenced by local colorings. If it had been anyone except the Standard Oil officials, no indictments ever would have been returned.

OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash. lngton, Feb. 25. After a hard fight In the Senate today. Senator Jones se cured approval of his amendment to the Indian bill appropriating $1,800,000 to construct storage works on the head waters of the Yakima River to furnish water for allotted lands of the Yakima Indian Reservation. Senator . Polndex ter was disposed to criticise Jones' amendment on the ground that It was not amply liberal to the Indians, and at Poindexter's suggestion, the amend ment was altered to provide that each allotted Indian should receive free of cost, xwater sufficient for Irrigation of half of his allotment or 40 acres. The other 40 acres of each allotment Is to be sold and the purchasers are to pay the cost of water for their lands. The amendment originally gave each allottee water for only 20 acres.
