That Prevention Would Have v Violated Armistice. AMERICANS ARE ACCUSED Munitions Reshipped From Ham burg Declared to Have Been Made in Cnited States Poindexter t Makes Inquiry. ' WASHINGTON, May 28. Am official statement Issued at the Navy Depart ment late tonight said ; "After making every effort to -verify ' the reported landing of umi by the eteamers Bavaria and Yplranga at Puerto Mexico, the Department baa heen unable to confirm the rumor, and In view of all the circumstances,, la disposed to await at confirmation that the landing of the arms actually too It place." WASHINGTON, May 28. The landing of munitions for General Huerta from the German steamers Ypiranga and Bavaria at Puerto Mexico was the up permost subject of discussion in off! cial circles. Cabinet officials gener ally expressed surprise that arms had been landed, but It was generally con ceded that nothing could have been done by this Government to stop deliv ery of the shipment without a viola tion of the armistice. Secretary Bryan asserted that he was making no further effort to verify the information relating to the landing of the ammunition. "We iid not expect the arms to be landed," said Mr. Bryan. He referred to an understanding said to have been had with officials of the Hamburg American line that the arms on the Ba varia and Ypiranga would be returned to the consignors on foreign shores. German Government "Without Authority Secretary Bryan recalled that the American Consul-General at Havana had reported the Hamburg-American agent's instructions to the captain of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie to refrain from discharging his cargo, which was consigned to Huerta through Puerto Mexico several weeks ago. Similar in structions. Mr. Bryan said, were un derstood to have been forwarded to the captains of the Bavaria and Ypiranga. No agreement between authorized representatives of the United States and the German government relating ,to this shipment ot arms has been re ported. At the German embassy it was pointed out that the German govern ment had no legal authority to pre vent the captain of a German merchant vessel from engaging in commerce this character, as would be true of the United States Government ill the case of an American ship captain con veying arms to a foreign country with which the United States was at peace. All Mexican Forts Are S"ree. There has been no modification of the original official statement regard- ing the freedom of the Mexican ports. This covers even Vera Cruz, where the United States forces are in possession. Any cargo, even one comprising milt tary supplies, may be landed at Vera Cruz and entered in the custom house there. From German sources comes the in formation that all of these arms and ammunition supposed to be supplied by German factories actually were mad In the United States; shipped out o New York and Boston to Hamburg and reshipped from there to Mexico. In the Senate the landing of German Implements of war at Puerto Mexic was the subject of short debate started by Senator Reed. . lolndexter Makes Inquiry. "I do not mean to criticise" the Ad ministration, but I cannot see why could stop the landing of arms at Vera Cruz and not stop the landing at Puer to Mexico," Senator Poindexter de vlared. "The guns will shoot the same whether landed at Vera Cruz or Puerto Mexico." Senator Lod,re replied that the Ad ministration had officially announced this country was not at war with Mex. ico and hence so long as the United States was not actually in possession of a port, it could not object to the landing of imports there. "There was no need for a German cruiser to convey the German ships," Senator Lodge added. "The Germans liatl a right to land arms at Puerto Mexico under our present status. Just as Ihe Japanese had to land arms the other day at Salina Cruz. It is to be regretted the arms were landed."

The total number of Mother Refuses, so Bride Calls Up Chicago Society Editor. CHICAGO, May 22. "Mother wouldn't announce my marriage and I couldn't bear to have my many friends and acquaintances think me Just a little girl when I am happily married. Mother wanted frills and flowers at the wedding and I wanted only Allen. I am no longer Miss Irma Howe, but Mrs. Allen Arnold Craig. We were married April 30."

House Favors Section of Anti Trust Measure Making Dis crimination Unlawful. AMENDMENTS VOTED DOWN Sale With Reservation Against Han dling Goods of Competitor Pro hibited Wilson Declares Un certainty Must End. "WASHINGTON, May 28. Provisions aimed against price discrimination and against exclusive agency contracts Photo by Bain News Service. CIRTISS. were perfected by the Houso today in the consideration of the . Clayton bill to supplement the anti-trust laws. Scores of amendments designed to al ter the measure as framed by the ju diciary committee were voted down. Three of the 22 sections of the bill were agreed to in the course of the day's debate. The first section of the bill, dealing with terms and definitions, was passed without objection. The second, forbid ding price discrimination between pur chasers of the same commodities in the same or different communities, was at tacked by Representative Graham, of Pennsylvania, .who offered several amendments. All were defeated. Curb oh Competition Prohibited. The section making it unlawful for persons controlling mines or mine pro ducts to refuse to sell to responsible persons, after being amended so as to apply to oil and .gas wells, was passed over to allow the Judiciary committee to perfect the new provision. The principal contest of the day was over the fourth section, making it un lawful for wholesalers to lease or sell goods with a condition that the pur chasers shall not deal in the goods of a competitor. Representative McCoy, of New Jersey, tried unsuccessfully to limit the prohibition to such under standings as are made ' with the in tent of establishing a monopoly or de stroying the business of a competitor. Wilson Wonld End Uncertainty. President Wilson today had occasion to announce his Insistence on action on the trust programme when he was visited by a delegation from several Middle Western manufacturers' asso ciations. They urged that all business legislation except the trade commls slon bill be deferred, pending an Inves tigation by the trade commission into the needs of business. A statement was given out at the White House saying: 'The President said in reply to the Illinois delegation that in his judgment nothing was more dangerous for bus! ness than uncertainty; that it had be come evident through a long series of years that a policy such as the Demo cratlc party was now pursuing was bsolutely necessary to satisfy the con science of the country and Its percep tion of the prevailing conditions of business, and that it was a great deal better to do the thing moderately and soberly now than to wait until more radical forces had accumulated and it was necessary to go much further. Depression Declared Psychological. "The President also said that while he was aware of the present depres sion of business, there was abundant evidence that it was merely psychologi cal, that there is no material condition or substantial reason why the business of the country should not be in the most prosperous and expanding condition. He urged on his visitors the necessity of patriotic co-operation on the part of the business men ox the country in order to support rather than to oppose the moderate processes of reform, and to help guide them by their own inti mate knowledge of business conditions and processes. He told his visitors it was his earn est desire to serve and not to hinder or injure the business of the country. In any way and he believed that on reflection they would see that the course be was urging would In the long run not only, but in the short run lso, be the wise and serviceable course.

CHEAPNESS IS ESSENTIAL Present Government Policy Has Driven Manufacturing Plant From Country Senator Brady Proposes Entering Wedge. OR EGONIAN NEWiS BUREAU, WaBh ington. May 28. While Canada and all the civilized nations of Europe having the facilities are extracting nitrogen from the air, and making the cheapest known fertilizer, the United States remains inactive, large ly because Congress refuses to pass a bill which will Justify private capital the development of water power possibilities within this country. In the hope of arousing interest in this subject. Senator Brady, of Idaho, secured the adoption of an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill setting aside $5000 to be used by the Department of Agriculture at its demonstration farm near Washington in erecting a laboratory for experi menting with processes of manufactur ing fertilizer by means of nitrogen ex traded electrically from the air. Senator Brady made it clear that the Government does not propose to manu facture nitrogen fertilizer for com mercial -nurooses. but merely to ex- perlment with different methods of extraction of nitrogen from the air. One of the largest nitrogen fertilizer plants in the world Is now operated at Niagara f alls, on the Canadian side. It is an American corporation which prior to moving to Canada sought to establish its plant in Alabama. The policy of the United States Govern ment, and of Congress, however, denied this corporation the right to develop cheap power in Alabama, and as cheap power is an essential to the manuiac ture of this fertilizer, the corporation abandoned its property in Alabama and went over to Canada Senator Brady pointed out that on the Snake River, within 20 miles of his home, lies 600.000 undeveloped horsepower that might readily be utilized In the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer. Such a plant would not only supply the State of Idaho, but probably would be able to turn out enough fertilizer to supply the greater part of the fanners of the Western states. It is not possible to develop that power under the prevailing gov ernmental and congressional policy, and until the policy is changed, that 600,000-horsepower will remain un developed and no one will reap any benefit. If the Government conducts experi ments which prove successful and which demonstrate the practicability of manufacturing cheap fertilizer where cheap power can be had. Senator Brady hopes that Congress will adopt a policy which, like that or Canada. will encourage development. George I. Chambers Dies. ST. JOHNS, Or.. May 28. (Special.)
