3 SENATE TO WAIT ON ACTION BY HOUSE Meanwnile Committee Reports Amended Tolls Exemption Repeal Measure.- DEFINITE MINIMUM FIXED California Member Declares Action Forever Closes to United States Rijlit to Pass Government Vessels Free of Tolls. WASHINGTON, March 10. Action on the proposed repeal of the toll exemp tion provision of the Panama Canal action will be concluded in the House before the Henate committee on inter oceanic canals begins formal condition of the controversy. This was determined today after a canvass of members of the Senate com mittee, who believe the question should take its course in tre lower house before consideration of any bill or amendment is undertaken by them. Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the committee, who will lead the fight within the party ranks against repeal, said tonight that he did not expect to call the committee together until he House has acted. Failure HeRarded as Remote. Should the House fail to pass the re peal, which Administration leaders say is wholly inprobable, the subject would not be dropped in the Senate. Senator Root has a repeal bill pend ing before the committee and an amendment to the Panama Canal act was introduced last week by Senator Chilton which would accomplish the repeal by giving the President abso lute authority over canal tolls even to assessing charges where exemption is provided for American coastwise Ships. The committee on interstate com merce today favorably reported the Sims bill to the House revised so as to repeal all features of the existing exemption clause. It probably will be taken up in the House within a few days. Minimum In Fixed. The committee had eliminated after the provision that the canal tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per net registered ton the words "nor be-less other than for vessels of the United States - and its citizens than the estimated propor tionate cost of the actual maintenance and operation of the canal," and sub stituted the words "than 75 cents per registered ton." Representative Knowland, of Califor nia, a Republican member of the in terstate commerce committee, said this action "forever closed the United states' right to pass a battleship, rev enue cutter, collier, lightship or other Government craft, through the Amer ican canal without the payment of tolls." TURMOIL WILL CONTINUE fi-ontlnued From First Page.) crash in Mexico City which will ruin Huerta? These are the Important In ternal considerations. . . W ill Intervention Be Forced f . I More important, perhaps, than these. Is the overshadowing question whether the United States will not be forced to intervene. Will there be more Bentons killed and will Europe insist on Ameri can action.' and will President Wilson be able to stand the pressure from the other side of the water? That American intervention in Mex ico is a matter of the future no one iu Mexico City doubts tha is, if the United States intends to insist on con stitutional government and the preser vation of peace and order in this neigh boring country. Huerta's elimination Is not likely to settle the Mexican . problem. There is no man In Mexico to take his place with the ability and strength to overcome the,hibit of revo lution which has been so assiduously cultivated since the retirement .of Don Porfirio Dias. Indeed, there" Is ho man in the world. The fault lies not with Mexico's leaders and best , uien, ' but with - Mexico's people, the irgnorant, unfit Indians, led into revolution, brigandage and bandittism by the self eeeking politicians, the most trouble some of whom are often unholy com binations of Indian, Spanish and pos sibly African blood. Further Turmoil Certain. So, even if Huerta goes and another takes his place, there is bound to be further revolution, turmoil and blood shed. The country cannot stand much more of this sort of thing; the powers of the world with huge sums invested here probably will not stand" for it. There is ample proof'that one revo lution breeds another and . 'thiwt" elec tions are almost invariably followed by outbreaks. . After Madero took -office there were certain gubernatorial elections in various states, in half a dozen instances the defeated candidate took to the warpath without the slight est delay. It was the custom of the country and it was necessary for him to do so in order to demonstrate his true worth, his bravery' and his' supe riority over the victorious candidate. There is one instance, said to be the only one in Mexican history, where a defeated candidate congratulated his victorious opponent That man is po litically dead in Mexico today. The people were completely incapable of understanding his motives and consid ered his action a show of weakness. Rt-Hiilrnt Anrrnu Hitter. That America's course of action does not meet with the approval of the Huertistas goes without saying. That it is disapproved by Americans who have made their residence here can be declared witii most emphatic emphasis. Tlnit portion of th American policy winch directed Americans to leave Mexico has aroused an intensely bitter feeling among Americans. They feel themselves deserttd by their own coun try. They consider their right to re side here and engage in business a inalienable as their right to the protec tion of their Government and to be told that if they remained in this coun try they would do so at their own risk was a decided strain on their pa triotism. There have been, and are, in Mexico, Americans of an undesirable class, trouble-makers who arouse anti- - mericaiiism. but there are also men of the highest type of Americanism, mining engineers, merchants and farm prs. Some of these have made their life work in Mexico. In this city there are many who have settled down, es tablishcd what were flourishing .bus! ileuses, bought their homes and have their families with ''them. Too old 'to establish themselves elsewhere, they must remain here. The Americans in Mexico C'.ty are better off than many elsewhere, particularly in those re gions in the war zone, for-here busi ness ' continues after a fashion, while in other places it is utterly ruined. Also, there Is little danger- to Ameri can life and limb in Mexico City. Capital Life Has Darker Side. Despite the gayety of the capital; there is the other and blacker side. On the curbs, with baby on back ami hand oumeia ior aims, is some poor inuian woman, literally keeping house in the gutter. She probably knows no other home than the streets. Then occa sionally down the streets come a com pany of soldiers, formed in a hollow square. Within this square, marching along as prisoners, are ascore or more of what are seriously but humorously called "voluntarios. poor peons, In dians mostly, barefooted, ragged, some sad of face, others smiling, who have just been, impressed Into the army. It is the "leva, or levy, and each night the soldiers sweep out of their bar racks, go to the poorer sections of the city, make arresta by the score and thus obtain recruits for the army in the north. It is estimated that within the last fortnight 3000 or more of these men have been jlcked up on the streets. Their women follow them, weeping and wailing, possibly with- children clinging to their skirts. But there is no hope. Sometimes a man of the better class is caught in the net and he may effect his release, but for the most part there is no escape and off they are shipped, locked In boxcars, in all probability and taken to some dis tant point to fight the rebels, usually a point so distant that desertion be comes impracticable. Foreigners Are Apprebenslve. There is discernable, particularly among foreigners, a constant state of irritable apprehension. They who went through the "decena tragica," or tragic ten days, a year ago. know what a genuine outbreak in this great city means. They know the horrors and dangers of a great battle in the middle of a large city, how thousands are killed in the streets and how no place is safe when Mexican soldiery turns in discriminately loose with rifles, ma chine guns and field pieces. They have seen hundreds die and buildings fall under a heavy Are, and they do not want any more of it. Whether a repetition or that great disaster is possible Is solely a matter of conjecture. General Huerta him self says that it is not, that his troops are under thorough control. This Is likely true and while a plot Is pos- Ible. resulting In a coup ae eiai ior the overthrow of Huerta, It Is not likely that Mexico City will again go through the experience of last year.

This is the second time Mrs. Wagner' has figured in the divorce courts.

REDFIELD denies F On Contrary, Notes Secretary, Imports Are Actually Less Under New Tariff. PROPHECY NOT REALIZED Affairs Among I'neniployed Held to Be Better Than Month Ago and "Much Better" Than They Were 90 Days Ago. HARTFORD. Conn., March 10. Wil liam C. Redfield. Secretary of Com merce, addressing the State Business Men's Association of Connecticut to night, asked what bad become of the threatened flooding of American mar kets with foreign-made goods attracted by the new tariff schedules. All men are witnesses that tne flooding of our markets with the products of the so-called pauper labor of Europe has not occurred," he said. "Nay. the total imports for the entire period since the tariff came Into effect are actually less than they were for a ike period a year ago. What has De- come of the - millions on millions in value of goods waiting to be unloaded upon us whereby the power to purchase more cheaply was to bring disaster and distress upon American industries? . "Instead, as editors and speakers look back over the cold, hard facts of our foreign trade their remarks about the flooding of our markets must come to their thought -as those things one would rather not have said. January Import Drop. " 'Meanwhile the current has run strongly the other way and particular ly is this true in the shape of fully finished materials, our foreign trade in which continues to grow despite the normal fluctuations from month to month in the total export business. If there were any who felt the flooding had come when December imports rose to the largest ever known, namely, $184,00,000, they must have experienced a rude shock when the imports for January fell off over $30,000,000, so as even to be less by almost $9,000,00 than the month of January, 1913. It is nor mal and wo expect a growth In the Im ports of manufactures under the new tariffs, in order that competitive con ditions may exist to the general good. It is equally normal and we expect that as great or a larger growth will take place in the exportations of man ufactures in order that business may run more steadily in our American shops and that the gold of the nations may be brought in increasing quanti ties tinto the pockets of our people. Credit Denied "Blgr BusIneM." Of our foreign commerce, Mr. Red- field said, he did not share the belief that "big business" could claim the lion's share of credit for creating and holding trade in other countries. "Much that has been done by our big industries in the foreign field is ad mirable," he said, "but their claim that they are essential to our success abroad cannot In my Judgment be established. I think there is not one of them that could not do this business quite as well if they were smaller than they are, though I have no objection to their big ness by itself considered." , The secretary was , optimistic con cerning general conditions. "Looking about over America with a horizon large enough to cover it all, ona sees no serious -factors tending to trouble." he said. "The fall of prices has already begun. It takes time to filter through the phases of distribu tion to the individual buyer through the retailer, but the process is begun and well begun." , The situation among the unemployed Mr. Redfield regarded as improving. "Affairs in that respect." he said, "are better than they were a month ago; much better than they were 90 days back." RURAL PUPILS SPELL BEST Girls Defeat Boys in Contest Staged at Vancouver, i " VANCOUVER, Wash., March 10. (Special.) Unusual interest was man ifested today at the annual meeting of the Clarke County Teachers' Asso ciation, when 34 pupils enjoyed an old. time spelldown, the country school boys and girls easily winning over the Vancouver students, and the girls out spelling the boys. , For two and one-half heurs the 34 pupils contested until only two were left and on the word "vivacious" Lil lian Llndh, of Hockinson, went down, leaving Muriel Cain, of Manor, de clared the county's best speller In the grade schools, and winner of the first prize, $15. Miss Lindh, taking second prize, won $10; Grace Black, of Buion, took third money, $3, winning on the word "vol uble," which Mable Mickey, of Battle ground, failed to spell correctly. The latter took fourth prize of $"4, winning on the word "Chattanooga" over Mary Foley, of Barberton, Wash., who, as fifth prizewinner, won a Webster's dictionary. At the assembly this morning Miss Riatt, of the University, spoke on 'Home Economics," bringing out the fact that one should not only know how to do things around the home, but should know the underlying principles. She urged the necessity of such a course in the present day schools as the rapid advances made during the past few years have made It impossible to learn this at home. A concert was held for the teachers and attendants on the courses In. the Presbyterian Church tonight STATE BUYER OF PROJECT King Hill Irrigation System Taken Over ill Idaho. BOISE, Idaho, March 10. (Special.) The defunct King Hill irrigation project located in Snake River Valley, surrounding the town or tvmg Mill was today sold at public auction to the State of Idaho for $SO,000. The sale was ordered by the Federal Court because the King Hill Irrigation & Power Company had not met its finan cial obligations. The state made' the only bid at the sale and the amount offered was the minimum price set by the court that could bt: received. The project will be financed by Carey act rust money and later it ij hoped that the state and Government can co-operate to finish it. OAT FLAVOR MOT PROVED Department of Agriculture IJeHji-ts lU-Milt of Milk TcM. WASHINGTON. March 10. (SpeclBl.) The Department of Agriculture re- MARKET IS LODED cently reported the result of experi ments to test the effect of oats on the flavor of milk. These experiments showed' that oats do not have the beneficial effect on the flavor of niilk which many dairymen believe. But a3 corn and bran constituted the 4-ation tested against oats, the public has gained the impression erroneously that -the department recommends the feeding of corn and bran to improve the flavor of milk. Of 50 opinions ex pressed regarding ' the flavor' of the samples 25 preferred the milk from Cows fed corn and bran. As 16 pre ferred the milk from "cows fed oats and nine expressed no choice, it does not appear that either ration has any decided advantage over the other. There can be no great superiority in the bran and corn when one-half of the opinions either were indifferent or were in favor of the other milk. In view of these experiments the de partment does not recommend the feed ing of bran and corn to improve the flavor of milk. Oats, corn, alfalfa hay, cottonseed meal, linseed meal, bran, gluten and other good feeds for dairy cows, when properly fed in reasonable amounts, produce a fine-flavored milk, but there is no substantial evidence that any one of them is superior to any of the others in this respect.
