SENATE RALLIES
TO PRESIDENT'S AID
Huerta's Intimations
Flatly Answered.
REPUBLICANS UPHOLD WILSON
Executive Writing Message to
Congress on Situation.
NOTES TO BE MADE PUBLIC
Penrose Introduces Resolution to
Send Troops to Mexico, but No
Action Is Taken Wilson Says
Measures Not to Be Drastic.
WASHINGTON', Aug:, 21. President
Wilson was at work tonight on a spe
cial message, which h'e probably will
read to both houses of Congress Mon
day, relating In detail the negotiations
which have been conducted through his
personal representative. John Llnd.
with the Huerta government In Mexico.
The "decision to make a comprehen
sive statement on the situation to Con
gress was reached today after the
President had about concluded that the
negotiations between Mr. Llnd and Pro
visional President Huerta. since the ex
change of notes, had developed no new
basis for discussion.
Wifh his message tne President will
present the two notes, setting forth the
American suggestions to the Huerta
government and its reply.' Should he
read the document himself, which he is
being urged to do by members of his
Cabinet.' and to which he is strongly
inclined, it will bo the first time since
the days of George Washington that a
President has communicated a matter
of foreign policy in person to the leg
islative branch of the Government.
. Huerta to Be Aaswered.
While there was no Information at
the White House to indicate what ob
ject it was hoped to accomplish
through a message at this time, there
was a well-defined belief In. official
circles that President Wilson thinks
the reading of an address which will
lay the American viewpoint and the
Huerta contentions before the Congress
and people of this country and which
also will' be made public to the world
generally, cannot but have an import
ant effect on the situation in Mexico.
Tt is expected to be a partial answer
to the Intimations of Provisional Presi
dent Huerta in his note that President
Wilson stands, alone in his Mexican
policy and unsupported generally In
Congress..
- The first refutation of this Huerta
supposition came in the Senate today
when prominent Republicans vigorous
ly upheld the hands of the President.
The expressions of confidence in the
wisdom and good faith of President
Wilson were made by several Republi
can leaders in succession after Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania (Republican),
had Introduced a resolution to require
the President to place American troops
in Mexico to protect American lives.
No action was taken on the resolution
and though Senator Penrose declared
- that the sending of troops could by
resolution be decreed not unfriendly to
Mexico, the view of the White House
and State Department was that such a
move in effect would be an act of war.
Garrlaoa Not Recalled.
President Wilson reiterated to callers
today that he had absolutely no Inten
tion of taking any drastic measures,
denied that Secretary Garrison of the
War Deartment had been called back
to Washington, and referred to the fact
that Mr. Garrison would take a vaca
tion after his inspection trip in the
West was ended.
He incidentally complimented Repub
lican Senators on their spirit of co-operation,
emphatically saying that there
had not been the slightest exhibition
of partisanship. That Provisional Pres
ident Huerta has advanced the idea that
recognition of his government is a par
tisan question In the United States and
that the Democratic party is not act
ually dominant is admitted by Admin
istration officials, but they believe that
if such an Illusion exists In Mexico it
shortly will be dissipated, not only by
news of today's debate in the Senate,
but by the expectation that Congress
in some way will show its confidence
in the President when he reads his
message.
The Administration hopes that when
the facts are known in Mexico the
Huerta authorities may be more in
clined to respect the American sugges
tions. Huerta Resignation Vrged.
The United States, in brief, has pro
posed that Huerta resign in favor of a
provisional president acceptable to all
sides; that a suspension of hostilities
thereby bo brought about and a con
stitutional election held, the resulting
administration to receive the recogni
tion of the United States Government.
Thus far Huerta has flatly rejected
the American proposals and renewed
his demand for recognition, declaring
that his financial troubles are due to
the failure of the Cnlted States to rec
ognise him. Official advice to the
State Department, however, describe
the provisional president's plight finan
cially as desperate, and officials here
believe he has not sufficient money to
pay his troops and cannot get the
money abroad. These considerations
and the Incessant warfare of the Con
stitutionalists likewise lead American

PACIFIC TO FLOW
IN CANAL MONDAY
BIG DIKE AT MIRAFLORES TO
BE BLOWN" TO PIECES.
Destruction of Heavy Barrier Leaves
Only Two More Obstructions
Keeping Great Oceans Apart.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Another
step toward final completion of the
Panama Canal will be taken next Mon
day, when preparations will be made
to blow up the heavy earth dyke, now
the only barrier between the Mlraflores
locks and tidewater on the Pacific
side, three miles away.
There will be nothing spectacular
about the destruction of the dyke. Its
base will be perforated by a number of
holes heavily charged with dynamite,
then for five days fresh water from
the Rio Grande diversion, one of the
rivers in the canal zone, will be turned
Into the canal prism, and. when the
water is near the level to seawater on
the other side, the charge will be set
off.
Two monster dredges, the Mole and
the Corozal, are watting to attack the
debris, and It is expected two or three
days will clear a channel through the
dyke sufficient to admit the dradges
and vessels of 10 or 12 feet draft as far
as Mlraflores locks. A month later a
channel ' the full width of the canal
prism and deep enough to pass a bat
tleship will be completed.
After the destruction of the Mlra
flores dyke there will remain only two
such obstructions along the - canal
route one at Gamboa, about one-third
of the way through to the Atlantic,
holding back the water from the
Culebra cut. and one over which the
railroad crosses at the Gatun locks.
REGISTRATION HOLDS GOOD
Xew Enrollment Will Bo Xecessary
Before General Election.
"It will not be necessary for voters
to re-register In order to participate
In the interstate bridge bond election
on November or the special state ref
erendum election on the same date,"
said Henry Bush, chief clerk In County
Clerk Coffey's office, yesterday. "It
will, however, be necessary for all
voters to register again belore tn next
regular election, as the old registration
Is dead except for special elections."
Th new registration will be perma
nent. County Clerk Coffey is seeking,
however, to discourage registration at
th. nresent time for the reason that the
great influx of women voters will make
i nwniarv for the county to be re-
distrlcted this Fall. Mr. Bush says this
probably will not be done oeiore No
vember and that where there are now
193 precincts there probably will De
about 400.
Th law contemplates that there shall
not be more than 300 voters In any one
precinct.
X-RAY BAN NOT NEEDED
Salem Women. Too Sensible for
Flimsy Skirt, Says Slgmund.
SALEM. Or.,- Aug. 21. (Special.)
"I am paying a high compliment to the
women of Salem when I aay it will not
be necessary for me to put a ban on
the wearing of X-ray gowns, or high
cut sheath skirts," said Acting Mayor
Slgmund last night. "There Is not a wo
man in this city who would wear an
immodest dress. Salem women are too
sensible for that."
The. Acting Mayor's opinion was
given In response to an Inquiry
whether he would foflow the example
set by Mayor Albee, of Portland. Mr.
Slgmund said he believed Portland's
Mayor had done the right thing, and
he, too, would issue the same order
should Salem become Infatuated with
the "X-ray" skirt.

Ports of Columbia Committee Out
lines 'Work of Importance to All
Towns In Basin Money and
Speed Crying Needs.
Action of supreme Importance to
the commercial future of - Portland,
Astoria and the whole great Columbia
River Basin was set afoot last night at
a conference and dinner of members
of the ports of the Columbia committee
in the rooms of the Commercial Club,
at. which this energetic policy was out
lined :

and opened to the world's largest ves
sels at the earliest moment.
To have a supplemental report on the
Jetty work made to Congress by the
United States engineers in charge, con
taining a new estimate of its cost,
based on rushing It to completion with
double shifts' of men In the quickest
time.
Meanwhile, steps are to be taken to
make available at once. a supply of
rock for Jetty purposes as large as the
engineers can handle.
Dr. Kinney Karnes Committee.
A committee of five men was named

presented by Mr. Teal, "to take up with
Major Mclndoe at the earliest possible
moment the matter of a supplemental
report and to confer with the rock
firms as to whether they can supply

All thla was done after Dr. Kinney,
J. N. Teal, ex-Senator Bourne, George
B. McLeod and T. B. Wilcox had talked'
plainly of the necessity of faster work
on the new north' Jetty than Is now
contemplated, by the Government.
Mr. Wilcox summed up all the rea

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. (Special.)
Legal proceedings which are expected
to be of far-reaching consequence to
the rules governing civil service em
ployes were Instituted In the Federal
Courts of San Francisco this afternoon,
when Chief Postal Inspector Harry B.
Hall filed suit to compel the United
States Government to show cause why
he has been removed from his post in
this city.
Hall received word from Postmaster
Burleson yesterday that he had been
transferred from the position to chief
postal Inspector of this district to that
of field Inspector in Denver, and that
George A. Leonard, a postal Inspector
of Washington, D. C, had been ap
pointed to succeed him here. Hall im
mediately telegraphed the National
Capital for full particulars as to his re
moval.
Civil Service All Iatereated.
Civil service employes of the United
States Government to the number of
300,000 are interested in the contents
of the answer, if one is received.
Until Its arrival Inspector Hall Is
occupying his official desk in the Fed
eral building, and George A. Leonard
sent by the Postmaster-General to re
lieve Hall, has so tar pot demanded oc
cupancy of the office. j
While Inspector Hall f day absolute
ly refused to discuss the matter other
than to admit receipt of an order de
moting him to a subordinate position
at Denver, the change is characterized
in every branch of the Federal Gov
ernment here as a rank violation of th.
civil service rules and the establish
ment of a precedent which renders In
secure every position held under the
Government's civil service classlfica
Wlthout any warning th. order
came to Inspector Hall Monday, simply
saying that he had been "appointed"
to the Denver postion, which Is said to
carry with it approximately half the
salary of inspector In charge here.

MAYOR COOL IN DANGER
Xew Tork Executive Stows Little
Concern Over Infernal Machine
at Office Window Following
Threats in His Mall.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. A deadl
charge of dynamite three whole 10
iuch sticks and two halves, with a fuse
and detonator was found this after
noon near Mayor Gaynor's office win
dows in the City Hall. The bureau of
combustibles found that the explosive
was 40 per cent dynamite, the regula
tion blasting proportion. and the
amount found would, if exploded, have
wrecked the City Hall.
The Mayor was in his office when the
dynamite was found by a citizen pass
ing through City Hall Park. Mr. Gay
nor evinced little interest when told
of the proximity of the explosive arid
remained apparently undisturbed at bis
desk, while police officials hurriedly
drew a cordon about the dynamite to
keep back an excited crowd. ..
Threats Old to Mayor.
Mayor Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but tonight he
would make no statement regarding
the possible connection between any
previous threat by mail and the dyna
mite of today. It Is Just three years
ago this month that he was shot In
the neck by a crank and so badiy
wounded that for several days It was
feared be would die.,
The dynamite fou.)rf today lay u-j a
basement door in a ct ncrete moat or
.ireaway, within' 0 fett of the Mayor's
window. The explosive was arranged
in a lattice formation with the .two
small pieces on top. A partly burned
four-inch fuse, made of gunpowder
tightly rolled in a paper cylinder, led
to a detonating cap on one of the half
sticks of dynamite.
Matches ad ruk Fonnd.
Close to the explosive was a piece
of Chinese punk and several partly
burned matches. The dynamite and
fuse were wrapped in a piece of heavy
cambric secured by red and blue twine.
The cloth was blue with red and white
figures and resembled the filets worn
by women of the working class. Ex
perts of the Bureau of Combustibles
say the only thing which prevented a
disastrous explosion was the presence of
a strip of cotton thread wound so
tightly about the base of the fuse that
a spark could not reach to the detona
tor. An edge of one dynamite stick was
slightly scorched.
Cigar Mar Mraa Kothlng.
The Investigators do not attach much
importance to the finding of half
burned matches and a partly consumed
cigar near the explosive. Hundreds of
smokers pass the areaway during the
noon hour and some of them occasion
ally throw dead matches and cigar
butts there.
Police authorities say laborers some
times carelessly drop dynamite sticks
near their blasting operations. There
is an excavation shaft on t'.ie Broad
way side of City Hall Park, leading
to the new subway construction. De
tectives are making a close Investiga
tion tonight of this location, although
the contractors declare they do not
use 40 per cent dynamite In their
operations.
