Underwood Criticises Surrender. In the course of the discussion to day there were flashes of heat In the debate. Representative Underwood the Democratic leader, although voting for the Senate amendment, said that Congress should never have made this "un-American surrender" and called ' the amendment "Ineffective and nega tive."

Representative Glass, ot Virginia, at tacked the Democratic leaders who opposed the measure. He denounced the "outragous assaults made on the President" by the Republicans and ex pressed Indignation "at the leaders of the Democratic side who have aspersed their own colleagues because they would not follow them into the camp of the Republican party in advocacy f a Republican doctrine."

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 12. Finding the Admin istration had omitted his homestead bill from its conservation programme, which is to be taken up in Congress next week, and learning the Adminis tration is more concerned nvAr thn ra dium bill than any other bill on the programme, Senator Borah today of' fered his homestead bill as an amend' ment to the radium bill and will make an effort to force its adoption In that lorm. Senator Borah's bill, which once passed the Senate, provides that in lieu of cultivation homesteaders may estab lish their good faith by making Im provements on their homesteads to the extent of $1.50 an acre.

VILLAGERS CHECK BLAZE Suffragettes Show Determination by Setting Fire Lighters Saturated "With Oil In Prominent Places. LONDON, June 12. Unusual deter mination was shown by suffragettes today in their efforts to destroy by fire the ancient church of St. Margaret's, at Chlfstead, 14 miles southeast of London. The "arson squad" had set fire-lighters of felt thoroughly satu rated with oil in three prominent places in the church. They left suffra gette literature but no other clews. The pulpit was somewhat damaged and the woodwork In one of the vesti bules suffered. However, the rector. Rev. William H. Stone, and villagers extinguished the flames before much damage had been done. The church dates from the 12th cen tury. Police today raided the latest refuge of the militants in Kensington and in retauauqn the.' women organized a raid on a dozen leading theaters in the West : End. They threw leaflets from balconies on the audiences. The leaflets drew attention to the torture of wom en by forcible feeding. The suffragettes were hustled from the theaters by at tendants and ""indignant auditors. The whereabouts of Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst is still a secret. DELEGATES RATIFY PACT ("Baaj JTjI uioj.2 panurjnoo) doning the constitutional form of suc cession as a part of the protocol, are satisfied because it does not deny Huerta's right to name as Minister of Foreign Affairs the man chosen here for Provisional ..'resident, if the latter sees fit to accept designation from him. It is not considered probable, however, that the new Provisional President, who Is likely to be a constitutionalist. would take the executive power direct ly from Huerta but he might do so from some other individual whom Hu erta might leave in authority. Name to Be Cboaen Next. The American delegates consider the method of transfer a closed incident. All parties are now concentrating on the second part of the peace plan, which relates to the name of the Provisional President and possibly will include his Cabinet of four. The protocol is the embodiment of that for which the United States has been striving for more than a year elimination of Huerta. Constitutionalists were not parties to today's protocol. There is nothing in it to which they are likely to object, and If admitted to the conference, they still may attach their signatures. The ques tion of constitutionalist representation. however, is still an open one. The me diators say they will not officially admit the Carranza delegates unless they agree to an armistice. It is not doubted that the American delegates may try to secure a hearing fo- the constitutionalists and that some way may.be found for them to participate in the peace parleys after they arrive. WILSON' 13 MUCH ENCOURAGED Washington Government Shows More Than Usual Optimism. WASHINGTON, June 12. The Wash ington Government was unusually opti mistic today over the prospects for the success of mediation in the Mexican embrogllo. President Wilson broke his long silence on the subject by authorizing the declaration that the outlook was encouraging. Secretary Bryan verified the reports from Niagara that the Huerta dele gates and United States representa tives had reached an agreement on the method by which the transmission of authority in Mexico should be conduct ed from Huerta to the proposed provi sional government. General Carranza's latest note, ' for warded today by mail to Niagara Falls, announcing his decision to send rep resentatives to the mediation confer ence, was the subject of most interest at the. Cabinet meeting today and in other official quarters. The White House learned early in the day of this decision on the part of Carranza, learn ing also that the constitutionalist chief adhered trictly to his attitude that an armistice in the campaign against Huerta should not be required. It also was learned that the note makes no mention of any other terms on which constitutionalist representatives would participate In the peace conference.

BELOW ARRESTING A DISORDERLY SIFFBBGETTE. that a way had been found to accom plish the task in accordance with the Mexican constitution without any rec ognition of Huerta by this Government, last night. While peace prospects were bright ening and Carranza' agents were in constant touch with the Washington Administration over the late mediation developments, the revolution in Mexico was going steadily ahead. General Obregon was reported to be leading a terrific assault on Mazatlan on the west coast of Mexico, the fall of the city be ing predicted before many days. At Zacatecas the revolutionists con tinued fighting and ammunition for Villa to be used in the campaign against san i.uis iotosl had been un loaded from the steamer Antllla at Tampico and was en route to Torreon by.raiL Some of the revolutionary leaders as serted that they looked for only one more important battle, that at San Luis Potosi. Even that, they believed, would not compare In ferocity with Torreon, Tampico, or even Saltillo. With regard' to ammunition being shipped from the United States, Presi dent Wilson made the position of this Government clear In an executive order directing that no vessels be cleared from American porta for Mexico, and also that the embargo at border points be enforced. VERA CRUZ TO RECEIVE FOOD Supplies From American Merchants to Be Sold at Moderate Prices. WASHINGTON, June 12. News to day of a threatened famine among in habitants of Vera Cruz and vicinity set the telegraph wires to work out of the Department of Commerce, and to night Secretary Redfield had received assurances that American merchants Boon would have large supplies of food on the way to the Mexican port to be sold at moderate prices. These ship ments will go in free of duty, if offi cials here can arrange It. The American soldiers and marines are being fed through the Quarter master's Department, but the civilian population, now greatly swollen by the influx, of refugees, is entirely depend ent on the retail merchants. The latter are charging enormous prices. War Department officials today re fused to discuss General Funston's sug gestion that the American lines be ex tended inland from Vera Cruz, but It is known that the subject is receiving careful consideration. II AltR I MAX'S FAITH JUSTIFIED Southern Pacific Business In Mexico Good Except for Revolution. NEW YORK, June 12 Julius Krutts- chnltt, chairman of ' the Southern Pa cific executive committee, who has re turned from a trip over the company's lines, said today regarding the road's properties in Mexico: "We are still operating a few trains regularly. Our losses in. Mexico have been principally wooden bridges and trestles. If the government had re mained stable, the Mexican investment would have been paying well. Mr. Har riman had great faith in Mexico, and although he could not foresee the revo lutions, his judgment will be vindicated ultimately."

TREATY SIGNING NEARS BRYAN'S PEACE PLAN WINS BOTH ENGLAND AND FRANCE. Approval 'of British Self-Governing Colonies Only Awaited Sontiy Said to Have Agreed. WASHINGTON. June 12. Secretary Bryan for the United States and Am bassadors Jusserand and Spring-Rice for France and Great Britain will soon sign on the same day peace treaties modeled after those already signed by Secretary Bryan with 16 nations. The signing of these treaties awaits only the approval of the British treaty by the British self-governing colonies. The Anglo-American and the Franco American treaties will in a general way follow a similar pact already signed by Secretary Bryan with The Netherlands. They provide that all questions arising between the United States and the respective European powers which cannot be settled by di plomacy shall be submitted for inves tigation for a period of at least a year, to an international commission of five members. During the investigation hostilities would not be entered into, but the findings of the commission would not be binding.

United States District Judge for the northern district of West Virginia, and without objection were referred to the judiciary committee for investigation. Representative Neely, of West Vir ginia, presented the charges, accusing the Jurist oi nign crimes and mlsde meanors." The case grows out of the labor troubles in West Virginia.

Mr. Neely charged the Judge had "openly stated that he would not permit the United Mine Workers of America to ' exist within his court jurisdiction.' The resolution gives the judiciary committee the necessary authority for investigation and hearings. sffMnrg 17,804 financial centres for the world's commerce We have experienced corres pondents in the commercial cities and ports of the world.
