The resolution, approved in the sen -1 ate, 43 to 38. and in the house liy j a vote of 228 to 139, now goe* to the president. His avowed purpose. Re cording to all administration l™d ers. is not only to veto it, but to send it hack to the enpitol accompanied by a scathing indictment of the Republi can congress, charging interference with executive functions and failure to take up needed reconstruction leg islation. The vote was along strict party lines, except that nineteen Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, while two Republicans—Kel ly of Michigan and Fuller of Mas sachusetts opposed it. From the size of the. Republican vote it was clearly indicated that the res olution could not be passed over the veto of the president. The senate vote on passage was 43 to 38. The house total lacked seventeen votes of the two-thirds necessary to override the veto. Seven Democratts, against the measure, which was a sub stitute for the house resolution, were paired with Republicans favoring it. Two Independents also set off each other In the vote Representative Cars* of Minnesota, opposing the res olution and Representative Keller of the same state favoring it. VILLA THREATENS NEW MEXIC REGIME WITH REVOLUTION Man Who Has Defied Every Govern ment Since Fall Os Madero Not Ready To Yield Yet Washington.—Francisco Villa, who has defied every government in Mex ico since the overthrow of Madero. already has become an embarrass ment to officials of the new de facto forces. A report to the state department that Villa hud captured and was hold ing for fifty thousand dollars ransom Georgia Miller. British, superintendent of the Alvarado Mining and Milling company, at Parral. Chihuahua, follow ing a report that General Calles had failed to obtain front the outlaw lead ed an unconditional promise of co-op eration, is somewhat •disconcerting. A. .1, McQunrters of New York, pres ident of the mining company, sought the advice of government officials re garding payment of the ransom. The state department, it Is understood, lias taken no action, although it was regarded probable that representations would he made, not to the authori ties at Mexico City, bus to the de facto leaders in Chihuahua. Representative's here of the revolu tionary government said they doubt ed the report that a ransom had been asked for Miller's release and called attention to the repeated seizure by Villa of Americans since the beginning of the year and their subsequent re lease. His action was explained by statement* attributed to Villa thut ho was following the couiwe most likely to provide him the most up-to-date news and a means of transmitting his own ideas to some one* on the out side. The dispatch of Rafael Zubar&n to I Chihuahua was regarded h<ro as a ! move toward further effort to bring I Villa into the revolutionary movement. Neither official nor unofficial reports ! indicated that the authorities at Mex j ico City had carried out their implied | threat to force payment of the export taxes due from the oil companies.

WANTS TO MONOPOLIZE OIL Representations Are Made To Britain About Oil Restrictions In Occu pied Sections Os Turkey Washington. Exctuston of aliens from control of oil resources within the empire, government aid in de veloping new supplies in other coun tries and restrictions against disposal of oil stocks now held by British na tionals are outstanding features of Great Britain’s petroleum policy, the senate was informed by President Wil son _ The information given in the form of a special report from the state de partment, was in ansjver to a senate resolution asking that disabilities at tached to American participation in petroleum resources of the world, the governmental policies of Great Bri tain, the report added, also contem plated financial and technical aid to ’pioneer companies. The senate resolution, introduced by Senator Gore, Democrat, Oklahoma, requested the president also to say what diplomatic efforts had been made to remove the restrictions upon par ticipation in oil developments by Americans elsewhere than in the United Stales. Representations had been made to Great Britain concerning restrictions upon oil development In the occupied sections of Turkey, the report said, and had been met with as surances that no discrimination against Americans would be allowed. With regard to Mexico, the depart ment reported the last note of warn ing, which said that the United States “would not acquiesce" in any proced ure resulting in confiscation of Amer ican oil holdings. Observing that all of the regula tions In England and her possessions were aimed at restricting oil opera tions to control of British nationals, the report said, “this form would seem to be justified in the viewpoint of in ternational law, however impolite it might be as regards reciprocity and international comity.” Citing a large number of general and special consular reports, the re port said that the British policy ap peared to bo developing by a process of deterring foreigners from owning or operating oil property in the British isles, colonies or protectorates by di rect participation of the government in financing the larger exploiting com panies. STEPS TO BREAK JAM OF FREIGHT I. C. Commission Urges All State Rail and Public Service Boards to Aid Government To Lift Burden Washington. The interstate com merce commission has taken its first step toward breaking the freight blockade. Telegraphic appeals were sent to all state railroad and public service commissions, urging (hem to join hands with the government in lifting the burden, while the commission's force of inspectors tyas put to work to help get accurate data respecting conditions at critical points. Practically all of the several hun dred inspectors were assigned to aid in surveying traffic conditions at im portant gateways where the flow of traffic was clogged. Members of the commission recog nized that the present crisis would provide a real test for the new trans portation act and, likewise, that the emergency clauses must measure up to the claims of their staunchest sup porters if freight is again set to mov ing smoothly throughout the country. With increasing complaints from shippers and requests for assistance from the railroads themselves, the commission is understood to have de termined to go into the freight tie-up with hammer and tongs. Officials, however, urged patience on the part of those watching for immediate re sults since it may require days, and even W’eeks, to start anything like a resumption of normal transportation service. Fumes Emitted From Still Deadly Gadsden, Ala. —Benjamin Carter was asphyxiated by fumes of an illicit still tn the mountains near here, ac cording to the verdict of a coroner’s jury. The still was hidden in a cave, and was reached by rope ladder*. Carter had gone into the pit and was unable to get out. “Death was caused from asphyxiation by fumes from an illicit still," was the coro ner's report Armed Men Force Board To Quit Jonesboro, Ark. —Armed men arose from their seats and demanded im mediate resignation of commissioners and attorneys of the Black Oak-Han eoek road improvement district, when Chancellor Archie Weatley convened court to hear the application for an in junction brought by taxpayers against, the district. The resignations, al ready written, were presented to the two commissioners present and to their two attorneys with the demand that they he signed immediately. No Liquor Ban By Constitution Fathers Washington. Associate Justice Holmes, while rendering an opinion in the supreme court in connection a personal injury case, raid that so far as he knew, the fathers of the consti tution were not opposed to “strong drink." The justice added that he couhj, not believe "for a moment that, apart from the eighteenth amendment, special constitutional principles exist against strong driuk.

P’S WOULD NOT TAX TOBACCO Move To Strike Real Estate And To bacco Taxes Defeated Very Decisively Washington.—House Republicans, t party caucus, came out squarely foi enactment of soldier relief as advo cated by the American Legion. Before deciding in favor of the leg islation, the Republicans refused, 141 to 49, to postpone indefinitely all ac tion on relief legislation. All Repub lican leaders, including a majority of members of the steering committee, were said to have supported the mo tion, but there was no record vote. The only record vote of the caucus wa sthe defeat, 95 to 78, of a motion by Representative Wood of Indiana to strike out the provision to carry out the Lane-Mondell plan for settle ment and reclamation of western lands. The action of the Republicans was taken after a four-hour fight in which opponents of relief legislation declared the country could not stand added tax es, as made necessary by the bill. Sec retary Houston’s letter, opposing any bonus, sent to Chairman Fordney, of the w r ays and means committee, was not presented to the meeting, although copies were circulated among mem bers. The relief plan of the American Le gion contemplates four provisions, a cash bonus, home and farm aid, paid up insurance and vocational educa tion. Each veteran would be given the choice of any one of these. A motion by “Uncle Joe” Cannon to strike out of the real estate and to bacco taxes in the bill was defeated, 108 to 47. Caustic remarks on the cash bonus feature preceded final ac tion. The vote on the motion presented by Mr. Fordney for approval of the relief bill was 116 to 39, the support ers of the measure comprising less than one-half of the total Republican membership of the house. Leaders explained that The vote did not bind Republicans individually to vote for the bonus. Secretray Houston’s letter, which resulted from an inquiry by Chairman Fordney as to the treasury’s views on the “insurgent” Republican-Democrat ic proposal for a retroactive 80 per cent war profits tax, declared that congress,, instead of devising new means of spending money, should con centrate its efforts on raising funds for current governument expenses, TWO OR THREE THOUSAND ALABAMA COAL MINERS ARE REPORTED TO HAVE QUIT The Collective Bargaining Principle Seems To Be The Main Issue Contended For Birmingham, Ala.—Between two and three thousand men have quit work in widely separated sections of tKe Ala bama coal mining district. Mining has been suspended at a number of points. Brookwood and Searles mines of the Alabama company, in Tuscaloosa, are down and upwards of seven hun dred men are idle there. Pipe mines Nos. 1 and 2 in Bibb county, operated by the Little Ca liaba Coal company, are also idle, with more than 800 men out. The mines of the Roden Coal com pany, at Marvel, in Bibb county, have been idle now for more than a week, with nearly 400 men out. Coleanor mine, also in Bibb county, is idle by reason of the strike, up wards of 1,240 men being out. Several other mines are reported down. J. R. Kennamer, president of the Alabama district No. 20, United Mine Workers of America, announces that a number of mining corporations of Alabama have signed contracts with their men along the lines mapped out by the union, but that others have not. and there are probabilities of con siderable unrest in the district. In Patched Suit, Senator Pleads Thrift Washington. —Frankly confiding to his colleagues that the clothes on his back were threadbare and patched, ; Senator Thomas, Democrat of Colo rado. joining in another senate broad i side on profiteers, declared the people i themselves and not legislation must break through the sweeping wave of high prices. Linking the overall ■ movement, started as a protest against i the cost of clothing, with widespread , price reductions, reported from many I cities. Senator Thomas said the pub lic had the remedy in its own hands. , Not To Bury Baccy With “Old Booze" . Washington.—Members of the To \ bacco Merchants’ association of the i United States, in convention here, - have been assured by President C. . J. Eisenlohr, Philadelphia, that tobac . co and liquor would not be buried in [ the same grave. He said there was not the slightest basis for fear that use of tobacco would be prohibited. ’ "Tobacco does not excite or intoxicate, . but it soothes and pacifies," Mr. Ei senlohr said, “and promotes sober de , liiieration .and moral contentment.” GREAT PRICE-CUTTING WAVE 'Washington Hears That Buying Pub lic Is In Rebellion All Over The Country Chicago.—A wave of price cutting jfn retail clothing costs reaching from jthe Mississippi valley to the Pacific Coast is reported. Dispatches from twenty-four cities in that territory toldi •of promised reductions in these ne cessities ranging from 15 per cent to ! minus profit. Financial authorities here said indi cations were the price decline would be limited to ready-to-wear clothing, principally women’s garments and ; silks. were in the list affected. Tight money and inadequate trans portation facilities were cited among the prime reasons for the mercantile movement. Delays in delivery of goods in which much money had been I tied up, together with inability of the j farmers to get grain and live stock ; to market were said in many instances | to have worked a hardship on mer ; chants. An officer of one of the leading department stores of Chicago declar ed that the price reduction now be ing reported meant also that mer chants were trying to satisfy what he called "a hysterical demand from the public for low prices.” These current reductions, he said, might be only temporary. A financial authority here said that if reports of price cutting were de pendable, they indicated a tendency to ward a reduction in inventories. Though this might be temporary, he said, it wa sundoubtedly good, iu that it suggested that merchants were go ing ahead more cautiously. Sales are being held under various names. In Topeka, Kans., a men’s clothing firm announced a ”no-profit” sale, de claring it would back its promise at the end of the sale by letting the fair price commissioner or a commit tee named by him take possession of its books an daccounts. Twenty per cent cuts were the most popular. On the Pacific coast, Taco ma dealers announced cuts from 20 per cent flat to "profitless sales,” de claring that on some women’s gar ments prices were cut virtually iD half. “YOU ARE A LIAR,” SOUTHERN MEN CRIED AT MADDEN Illinois Congressman Called Confeder ates Traitors—Personal Clash Threatened Washington.—Repetition by Repre sentative Madden, Republican, of Illi nois, in the house, of his assertion recently, that Confederates were “trai ttors,” threatened a clash between him and Southern members, who gave the "lie” to his epithet. Representative Stedman, Democrat, |Of North Carolina, a Confederate vet eran, had told the house that Mr. '.Madden’s remarks would win the Illi nois member "neither renown nor happiness,” and would be disapproved by a majority of the people of the country, and Mr. Madden arose to re ply. Declaring that he had no apology for his utterance that the Confeder ates were “traitors” because they at tempted to destroy the Union, Mr. Madden repeated it, and then asked: “Does anyone deny it?” Instantly the house was in aji up roar, several Southern members .an swering his question affirmatively, and others shouting, "You are a liar.” 1 As the shouts of the Southerners were quieted, Mr. Madden again re -1 peated his epithet, and Representative fßomjue, Democrat, of Missouri, arose from his seat, etafting toward Madden, ' as also did Representative Johnson, • Democrat, of Mississippi. Both stop ped short, and Maddei\, turning toward • the Democratic side of the house, said: ■ “They were traitors, you say no, and I say yes. They did try to destroy I the Union.” Persia Asks League To Stop Bolshys s London. —Persia has appealed to the league of nations to protect her t against Bolshevik aggression.
