PRESIDENT'S SUGGESTION TO EN
FORCE NEUTRALITY IS AP
PROVED FILIBUSTERING GIVEN HARD BLOW
Exportation Of Munitions Of War To
Country With Which America
Is At Peace Pro
hibited WASHINGTON, March 13. Revolu
tion, filibustering expeditions or the
promotion of domestic violence in any
country in pan-America hereafter may
not hope for supplies of any descrip
tion from the United States.
This principle, proclaimed today in
a concurrent resolution adopted by the
Senate at the instance of President
Taft, Is virtually certain to be passed
by the House tomorrow.
. Though designated primarily to
meet the inadequencies of the present
neutrality laws, to which the Mexican
government called the Presidents at
tention, the resolution, when put into
effect will empower President Taft
to prohibit at his descretion, through
a proclamation, the . exportation of
munitions of war to any country with
which the United States is at peace.
Anticipating summary action tomor
row by the House, where Representa
tive Burleson, of Texas, will take
charge of the measure, Treasury and
War Department officials tonight is
sued instructions virtually halting all
shipments of arms into Mexico until
the resolution is declared effective.
Loopholes for the violation of neu
trality laws admitted are many and
professional promoters of revolutions
in Latin America through vary de
vices, have succeeded in evading the
statutes. To the Mexican rebels who
captured Juarez recently when the
sole purpose of possessing a port of
entry through which they might im
port arms unrestrictedly the resolu
tion will prove a stubborn obstacle.
Watch
Carelessness
Nobody deliberately allows his watch
to fall or intentionally abuse it.
But thousands allow their watches
to run, or TRY to run, when they
ought to he laid up for repairs.
What is the result?
Permanently injured watches.
We maintain a perfectly equipped
department here. It is no trick at
all for us to handle all kinds of repair
work.
We can start working for you almost
any minute you say.
Test our ability to render you good
service.

Twe hundred and sixty dollars a
month is far beyond the average sal
ary of the average man or woman.
And yet the Enterprise offers the
equivalent of this amount to the win
ner of the big automobile contest now
running. The new touring car which
some resident of this county will cap
ture June 5 represents an investment
of 785, and as only about three more
months remain to get votes, the
$260 represents what pay the winner
of the big race would receive if he
were receiving a straight salary. As
there are probably not a hundred men
in the whole county receiving the sti
pulation a month for their services,
it will be seen at once that the Enter
prise offers exceptionally splendid re
turns for a little work and time.
Who will -eventually carry off the
high honors, is as yet a matter of mere
conjecture, much harder to answer
than the old quetion, "How old is
Ann," or' "How Many Apple3 did Ad
am and Eve together eat?''
In this big contest any resident of
the county is entitled to enter, sex or
age having no bearing whatever. Men
and women, as well as boys and girls
are working against each other with
equal vim and vigor, all having the
one common aim of getting the most
votes. Votes are awarded the contest
ants for subscriptions to the Daily or
Weekly Enterprise and renewals are
as valuable as new subscribers. Ev
ery subscription to either paper is
worth its proportionate value of votes,
dependant upon the length of the sub
scription. Candidates are not restrict
ed to any particular district, but are
free to go wherever they will, in order
to obtain subscriptions and to enlist
their friends' assistance in the good
work. - .
But in addition to the big prize; each
entrant has equal chances to win one
or more of the special prizes, which
are given away every ten days to the
entrant polling the most votes in the
specified time. The second of these
special contests closes Friday, when
the one who has obtained the most
votes between the 5th and 15th of
March will be awarded a $15 merchan
dise certificate on the J. Levitt store.
Interest is especially keen in this spe
cial contest and every candidate is
working his best to land the prize.
As any merchandise in the whole store
to the value of $15 may be chosen the
winner will have a wonderful array
of articles from which to make his se
lection. The certificate may be ap
plied toward a purchase above the $15,
which means that the Enterprise will
virtually present some man or wom
an with a new Easter suit, providedi
the holder of the certificate does not'
prefer shoes, glove3,etc.
At the present moment, Kent Wil
son, the high school student who made
a spectacular "grand stand play,"
last Saturday by polling 20,000 votes
his first day in the race, is still in
the lead for the special prize. Miss
McCord and Joe Sheahan who have
been fighting for the top location in
the standing of candidates, are press
ing Wilson hard -for the honors, and
it is predicted by, some that John
Brown will spring a ''surprise pack
age" before the polls are closed Fri
day. As every vote cast in the spe
cial contest helps ou on the grand
total for the Enterprise Ford, it is
thought that not so many votes will
be held back as heretofore.
In spite of the intense rivalry which
exists among the contestants, there
is no personal feeling which often
jnars newspaper contests. Each en
trant is proving himself or herself a
"good fellow" which condition is grat
ifying to both those is the big race
and the contest managers.

IMLETTE ENTERS
FIGHT IN DAKOTA
WASHINGTON, March 13. Deter
mined to take the stump in North Da
kota Senator Robert M. La Follette,
accompanied only by his wife is speed
ing west today to personally get into
the presidential primary fight in that
state where the Taft, Roosevelt and La
Follette forces are fighting for first
blood in the fight for the Republican
presidential nomination.
La Follette against the advice of his
physicians, left here quietly last night.
He is almost entirely recovered from
bis recent illness and if his health per
mits may tour Nebraska and the west
ern states after the North Dakota fight
is settled.
The Wisconsin senator charges flat
ly that Roosevelt broke faith with him.
He declares Roosevelt sent him word
by Gifford Pinchot that in no circum
stance would he be a candidate, and
that he would not -participate actively
in the campaign, but would indorse
La Follette. Friends of La Follette
say the Roosevelt message was deliv
ered at a conference between Pinchot,
Walter Houser, La Follette's manager,
Medill McConnick and La Follette
himself.
To offset this the Roosevelt men
deny that the Colonel ever declared
he would not enter the presidential
race and assert that La Follette was
never Informed by them to that effect
La Follette's determination to ac
tively take the field in North Dakota
came to a head only when he learned
jthat Roosevelt probably would stump
'that state. He declared then, against
all medical advice, to risk his health
and get actively into the fray.

OPERATORS REJECT
NEW YORK, March 13. All the de
mands of the coal miners are rejected
in the answer given out by the mine
operators today. In the answer the
operators suggest -that the present
wage scale, with certain modificaton3
be continued for three years. A gen
eral strike of eastern anthracite coal
miners April 1 is believed certain.
The miners' representatives say
they are authorized to make conces
sions without the sanction of a con
vention of the men and- they may re
fuse to frame a reply. This would
force the operators either to renew
negotiations voluntarily or to face a
general strike April 1.
The operators were represented
at today's - conference by the
resented in today's conference by the
following committee: J. L; Lake, pres
ident of the Clearview Coal Company;
Alvin Markle, of Markle Brothers;
Percy Maderia of Maderia Hill & Co. ;
E. B. Thomas, president of the Le
high Valley railroad r W. H. Truesdale,
president of the Delaware, Lackawan
na & Western railroad; F. D- Under
wood, president of the Erie railroad;
L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware
& Hudson railroad; Joseph Dickson,
of Dickson & Eddy; George F. Baer,
president of the Philadelphia & Read
ing railroad, and Morris Williams,
president of the Susquehanna Coal
Company. This committee has been
given full power to represent and act
for all the operators of the anthracite
district.
There is a general impression among
industrial concerns that there will be
a big coal strike, possibly affectin both
the anthracite and bituminous mines,
and many companies are laying in
supplies of fuel. -
John F. White, president of- the!
United Mineworkers admitted that the
situation looked threatening.-He said:
"Everything looks blue. The operat
ors say they won't grant our demands.
Well, the burden Is on them. We will
stick it out tti the bitter end and force
them to give us our due. There is. no
coal stored, and the miners are more
united than ever before in their de
mands for more wages and better
hours and working conditions."

n
SENATOR SENDS U'REN $500 WITH
WHICH TO EMPLOY
DETECTIVES
OTHERS ARE URGED TO CONTRIBUTE
Object To Obtain Full Enforcement Of
Corrupt Practice Act
Wants Concerted
Action
WASHINGTON, March 13, (Spec
ial.) For the purpose of insuring en
forcement of the corrupt practices act
in Oregon in the present campaign,
Senator Jonathan Bourne has sub
scribed $500 to a fund to defray ex
penses. The money is to be placed
in the hands of W. S. U'Ren with the
expectation that he will undertake the
work of employing detectives, make
investigations and conduct prosecu
tions when violation of the law is es
tablished. Senator Bourne holds their is need
for concerted action among the friends
of the law to uphold it, so the equali
ity of candidates may be preserved
and undue expenditures guarded
against. He says public opinion will
enforce the law to a large extent, since
any candidate who violates the pur
pose. of the act in any substantial man
ner will be defeated, but it is also im
portant, he declares to provide a fund
to reveal secret violations of the law.
"The Oregon Corrupt practice act
is one of the best laws ever enacted
for the promotion of clean elections,"
said Senator Bourne. "It has already
resulted in great good by driving paid
workers away from the polls and pre
venting many forms of deception.
However, vigilance is necessary in
order to make the law fully effect
ive. "Sine Mr. U'Ren was the author of
the corrupt practice act, I have deem
ed him the proper person to take the
lead in its enforcement an have asked
him to invite all other candidates to
contribute to the fund for that pur
pose.'' How strong are you going in the
