Two blocks of pavement, from

Marion county for six months In
order to demonstrate the value
of this service, now established in
15 other counties, and,
"Whereas, in the Highland

"Whereas, this nurse has ex

LONDON IS
QUIET JETER
TENSE DAY
Intense Relief Shown When
Contemplated Strike of
Transport Men Fails To
Materialize.
MINERS MAINTAIN
SEVERED RELATIONS
; Hodges is Criticized for Tak
ing Too Much Authority
Into Hands
LONDON, April 1".. A tense
day, replete in surprises, closed
tonight with an air of quietude!'
There was intense relief over
the knowledge that the contem
plated strike of the railway and
transport workers had been called
off and there was renewed hope
of industrial peace.
The situation tonight was that
the strike of the miners contin
ued and that everything depend
ed on the extent on which Frank
Hodges, general secretary of the
miners' federation, would be able
to maintain his authority over
the rank and file of the miners.
It is said that Mr. Hodges
threatened to resign but that the
miners' federation refused to lis
ten to him A national confer
ence of delegates of the federation
has been called to discuss the
whole question.
The breaking away from the
triple alliance of the railwaymen
and the transport workers on the
miners' rejection of the moder
ate course recommended by Mr.
Hodges, with a view to securing
a temporary adjustment of the
wage dispute, seems to have
brought matters to a crisis where
it was imperative to take a de-
i rtsion one way or another. Mr,
Hodges, it JLg declared, was se
verely criticised by hi- colleagues
for having made what was termed
a peace offer to members of the
house of commons without auth
ority. He is aid to have immedi
ately tendered his resignation,
lthough the general situation is
considered to have greatly im
proved, the government has not
relaxed its measures, military or j
otherwise. i
Owners Will Adjust Ih Wage, j
The mine owners issued an- j
other statement tonicht repeating
their previous stated opinion that
the wages of the lower paid men
ought to be adjusted and declar
ing they still were ready to meet
the miners in conference.
Not since the war wa? declared
has the hojise of commons wit
nessed more dramatic fluctuations
of hope and anxiety than wore ex
perienced today in connection
with the threatened industrial
crisis. . Last eveninc everything
looked black, but after it became
apparent that the mln owners
were prepared to consider a re
vision of their oriainal position,
and after the statement of Frank
Hodges, the miners secretary,
that lie was prepared to discuss
the question of wages, leaving
the question of a national pool
for future settlement, hopes rose
and they still were high when the
commons m t at noon today.
On th" assembling of the house
rumors were current that Mr
Hodges had been thrown over by
the miners executive and also
that he bad resigned. Then the
news came that the miners had
refused to meet the owners and
were insisting on their original
demands

The "shadow practice" of the
Giants, going through all the mo

worth the price of admission and
entertained the fair-sized crowd.

Former Provisional Prsident
Said to Be in Open
Revolt
MEXICO CITY, April lk-
General Pablo Gonzales, former
provisional presidents today
crossed the Mexican boundary
ljne from the United States at
some point between Matamoras,
near Brownsville, Texas, and San
Fernando, according to a war of
fice announcement. He Is said to
be in revolt against the govern
ment. Eariy in April General Pablo
Gonzales, then in Laredo, Texas,
d.sclosed the existence of a plan
to overthrow the Mexican govern
ment, but said he had nothing t6
do with it, directly or indirectly.
"I consider as very laudable,"
he declared at that time, "the
purpose of those Mexicans who
eeek as their highest aim the sal
vation of my country, menaced as
it is by the bad management and
inconceivable turpitude of those
men who have seized the reins of
the administration."
General Gonzales then admitted
it was his understanding that he
would be offered the leadership of
tit? movement. In this connection
he said:
"In the event that I accept the
commission which is within my
right, I shall certainly continue to
respect the laws of neutrality of
this hospitable country, the cradle
of human yberties."
General Gonzales was captured
in July 1,1915. by federal forces
near Monterey, as the intellectual
head of proradic revolts. After a
short time his unconditional re
lease was ordered on the ground
that he no longer constituted a
peril to the administration.
Pablo Gonzales in turn has been
minister of communications, com
mander of the constitutional
forces in Mexico City and for a
period of three weeks, in May.
i 1!I2" he was in victual personal
control of the administration of
national affairs, subsequent to the
evacuation of Mexico City by
President Carranza. He is best
known as the conqueror of the
state of Morelos. which he wrested
from the Zapita rebels after they
had held undisputed possession
for nine years.
LAKKDO, Tex., April 15. -
General PaMo Gonzales, who was
reported in a war office announce
ment tonight from .Mexico City to
have crossed the Mexican boun
darv today and is said to be in re
volt against the Mexican govern
ment, was here tonight and has
been here for several days.
There is no revolution under

Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee precipitated
the charges of senate dictation
when he declared the senato
would accept no changes In the
bill as It was passed last: session,
not so much as "a crossing of a
'f or the dotting of an T -
Pordney Is Attacked
"Those are instructions," he
added. Mr. Newton, who had the
floor, retorted that he would not
' surrender Judgment and intelli
gence both on a question on which
he felt he was right, "senate ord
ers notwithstanding." 0 ,
"I don't propose to have the
house accept the dictation of the
other body," he exclaimed.
"That admission by Mr. Kord
ney is the most amazing I have
heard In my 18 years experience
in the house." Representative
Garner of Texas shouted. It ap
pears that the constitution is b
ing violated for It says explicitly
t hat revenue measures 'must orig
inate in the house and here we
have the chairman of the ways
and means committeeadmlttlng
frankly that the bill was dictated
by the senate. , , .' . '
"And further Mr. Fordney's
statement means that hereafter
no bill can be amended, in "this"
house if the senate leaders will
that it shall not be changed.. This
means that we must bow to the
senators' wishes whether or not
amendments have merit.
Republicans Down Changes
The Republicans downed every
attempt to make changes. Repub
licans v-ho sought to amend the
bill were disposed of with the.
same celerity as Democrats and
the bill now goes to the senate. ,
The bill as passed by the honse
is practically Identical with the
t-ordney mea surer vetoed In the
last congress by President Wilson.
rrotectton would be given a num.
ber of agricultural products In
cluding wheat, cotton, sugar.
wool. corn, cattle and sheep but
the bill would be operative for
only six months instead of the
ten provided for in the Fordney
rseasure.
The anti-dumping provisions
were not included in the Fordney
measure together with a system
for estimating the duties imposed
on the bacis of the American Tal
ue of foreign coin as determlnel
by the secretary of the treasury.
