REFORMS IN U. S. CURRENCY
ARE SURE TO BE ENACTED
WASHINGTON, July 27.—President
Wilson has received further assur
ances from leaders in Congress that
his program of currency reform will
receive favorable action ai this ses
sion of Congress. These assurances
have been made in the face of the
sharp split amongst Democrats of the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee, and in spite, also, of the de
sire of many Democrats in the Sen-
at to delay currency action until the
December session.
Rapid progress has been made on
the tariff bill in the Senate and the
President and his Congressional ad
visers have been encouraged at the
prospect of the passage of the tariff
bill much earlier than had been ex
pected. Republican Senators, defeat
ed at every turn in their efforts to
amend the bill, have given way on
much of their proposed opposition,
and the Democrats* propose to push
the revision bill rapidly during the
coming week.
While the Democrats of the House
Currency Committee have found it
impossible to agree on the Glass-
Owen currency bill, the House lead
ers and President Wilson believe the
measure can be whipped into shape in
a Democratic caucus, if it is necessary
to adopt that cour^. The President
has been conferring with the so-call
ed "insurgents,” one by one. and has
secured their views and ascertained
the strength of their opposition.
It is believed the bill could be taken
into a caucus with the backing of the
President, Democratic Deader Under
wood, Speaker Clark, Chairman Glass
and could be perfected there and
given the indorsement of the Demo
cratic party. Further efforts will be
made this* week to bring the House
committee members together on the
bill, but should the attempts fail, the
Administration is prepared to push
the currency measure into the House
without delay.
The tariff bill has gone through
its early stages in the Senate with
unexpected rapidity. Few members
have attempted to make general tar
iff speeches; and it is believed the
debate will be meager during the
next two or three weeks. The chemi
cal schedule had been practically
completed yesterday; and the earth
enware tariff will be taken up to
morrow. with Senator Stone in charge
of the debate and amendments on
the floor.
Interest in the revision has flagged
throughout the week, and indications
point to less Republican opposition as
the bill progresses. Senator LaFol-
lette has not yet entered the debate.
He has employed two experts for
many weeks, in the preparation ot
substitutes for many schedules of the
Democratic tariff. When these are
offered, the Wisconsin Senator is ex
pected to lead a hard fight for their
adoption, and Democratic leaders are
looking forward to that phrase of the
debate as most likely to cause delay.
CLAYTON ROBSON IS
GIVEN BIRTHDAY 'CUE
OUTBREAK IN LISBON.
LONDON Jnlv 27.—A rumor was
current in Madrid last night that a
serious uprising had occurred in Lis-
The Daily Mail estimates that 1.600
bombs of various sizes hav been found
in the streets of Lisbon since the or
ganized attempt to bomb throwing

Copper'County Limited, on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail
road, running bettveen Calumet and

UNCLE SAM ORDERS MEXICO
TO MAKE SPEEDY REDRESS
WASHINGTON, July 27.—Strong
representations, the most drastic in
phraseology that have been ma 1e
since the present American Adminis
tration came into power, were made
to the Huerta Government in Mexico
to-day.
The United States Government de
manded not only the prompt arrest,
courtmartial and punishment of the
Mexican Federal soldiers who shot
'Charles B. Dixon, an American im
migration official at Juarez, Mexico,
but the immediate release of Charles
Bissell and Bernard McDonald, min
ing managers, imprisoned by Federal
soldiers at Chihuahua City, and said
to be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re
garded in official circles that they
overshadowed largely the theoretical
considerations of policy which the
visit of Ambassador Henry Lane Wil
son has brought to a climax.
The Ambassador himself was so ex
ercised over the developments in
Mexico that he dictated two strong
telegrams, one to the Embassy at
Mexico City and the other to the
American Consul at Juarez, and while
Secretary Bryan slightly modified
their tone, they were approved and
promptly dispatched.
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis
cuss the affair, but he will probably
explain his views on such happenings
when he meets President Wilson for
a general examination of conditions
in Mexico.
Dixon Is Released.
EL PASO, TEX.. July 27.—Charles
B. Dixon. Jr., the United States immi
gration inspector, who was shot in
Juarez Saturday by Mexican soldiers,
was released from the Juarez hospital
and brought to El Paso to-day. after
American Consul T. D. Edwards had
made a demand for his release and
for the arrest of the men who shot
him.
Mexican Consul Miranda and Guil
lermo Porras. former Secretary of
State of Chihuahua, also interceded
for the release of Dixon, after con
ference with the United States of
ficials. who represented to the Mexi
cans the grave impression that had
been produced in Washington by the
new s of the shooting of the inspector.
The demand of Consul Edwards was
in vigorous language. He told the
Mexican authorities that Dixon must
be delivered up to his friends and
permitted to be brought to El Paso
without delay.
CLAYTON ROBSON.
DESERTED, SHOOTS SELF.
KANSAS CITY, MO.. July 27.—
Douglas G. Hertz, of St. LouL*. will
recover from bullet wounds he inflict
ed upon himself last night after a
telephone conversation with his wife,
according to his physicians. Hertz
shot himself because he was convinc
ed he could not induce his* bride of
three weeks to return to him.
Mrs. Hertz to-day expressed regret
that Hertzt had shot himself, but em
phatically declared she would not live
with him again.
She declined to discuss her hus r
band’s statements that his fathc*r was
a member of British Parliament, and
was worth $5,000,000.
Joe Pottle, Solicitor General of the
Ocmulgee Circuit, aided and abetted
by sundry members of the Georgia
Legislature and citizens of Atlanta,
gave a barbecue at the Kimball House
the other evening in -honor of Clayton
Robson, who has just turned 35. The
affair was a huge success. Also it
was a complete surprise to the guest
of honor because the whole thing
was impromptu. And before it was
over Robson had been presented with
an umbrella in addition to good things
to eat, plus much applause and kind
words. Robson is a traveling sales
man and is known in every town in
the State of Georgia. No session of
the Legislature would be complete
without his presence.

the Hu Kow forts by a joint land and

ed as the most important news which

captif'* of forts, the rebels lost their
hold on the Yang-Tse River in Kiang-
Si Province, and the river now is
clear for the Northerners to Nanking,
where the forts held by rebels pre
vent the fleet parsing.

Tsin Pukow line are retiring south
ward from Hwai-He, evidently fear
ing that General Hau. at the juncture
of the Grand Canal and the Yang-Tse

combat of the rebellion may be fought
