PENSION BILL
GIVING HOUSE
THENIGHTMARE
Democrats Trying to Make
Economy Record Are
Face to Face With
Republican Trick
$45,000,000 INCREASE
v. PENSION LIST
Staggering Sum Fixed by.
Those Anxious to Make v
Political Showing at
Treasury's Expense
(By Victor Elliott.)
WASHINGTON. May 26. How to
avoid a vote upon a bill that will
add S45.0Qtf.COO to the pension rolls
is a problem that daily confronts
the economical democrats of the
house. The bill now occupies such a
place upon tho calendar that only
the most catcrul strategy -will pre
vent its consideration.
Tho 55.000,000 pension bill is a
sort of a holdover from last session,
and it caused so much trouble then
that President Taft indicated that
he might veto it unless the amount
carried was substantially reduced.
It passed the house, however, but
was cot reached in the senate.
May Be Side-Stepped.
The bill formerly was fatnered t
a republican. Now its author is a
democrat, which makes It doubly
hard for tho democrats to refuse ac
tion upon It. "Nevertheless, !L has
been side-stepped twice this session,
and, if the plans of the leaders go
through, it will be side-stepped again
whenever it bobs" up in bothersome
fashion.
Representative Carl Anderson, ot
Ohio. Is tho doraocrat who has put
his side of the house In a hole.
Representative Anderson come from
a constituency largely comprised of
old soldiers, union veterans of the
war between the states. Any sort
of pension legislation is bound to
mate a hit in tho district, for Ohio
boasts perhaps as many veterans as
any dale in tho union.
Big Increase Made.
When the present session of con
ress convened. Representative An
derson wasted no time in framing a
bill along the lines of the Sulloway
measure that went through the house
last session. It provides for a graded
tncrcase of tho pensions ot thoso
now upon the rolls, and, in addl
tion, adds quite a few old soldiers
to tho eligible class. Conservative
estimates are that the bill, If enacted
trn law. will mean an increased
appropriation for pensions of $45.
C0&000 tho first year. A sum almost
as large must be appropriated for
tho first few years after its passage.
As the old soldiers die, tho ad
vocatea of the bill say that the pen
sion toll will be decreased accord
ingly, but there are others who
insist that pensions seem to go on
forever, regardless of the death raw
of the veterans.
Insist en Economy.
The democratic houso is out for
,w.nnmv record. This has been
heralded broadcast, and tho militant
deroocracr has put iue j J -notice

TROUBLE IN C0AHUILA
JUAREZ, May 26. The legislature,
of the state of Coahulla has balked
at electing the governor chosen for
that state by Madero, and troops
may be sent to the state to seat
Venustlano Carranzas, the Maderist
choice for provisional governor.
An expedition will bo directed
cgalnst the socialist forces now op
erating In Lower California.
These are the two main develop
ments here today. The Coahulla
situation seemed to occupy Madcro's
more immediate attention. What
happened in that state may happen
elsewhere, for constitutionally tho
teuels cannot dictate to any legls-
ture what -eavernor It shall chooso
The Coahulla legislature, Madero de-
cares, is really a Diaz creation, try
' h . nro
Ing to carry out the Diaz program
without regard to tne win oi tno
people. In short, it is not a reprc-t
scntatlvc body.
The Popular Chcice
"Senor Carranzas is tho popular
choice of tho people," said Madero.
-Two years ago ho was a candi
date for governor and had we had
free elections he surely would have
been elected. I have given orders
to our troops in the vicinity of Sal
tillo, the capital ot the slate of Coa
hulla. to march upon the city, if
necessary, but am sure the federal
government will co-operate with us
In making tho legislature respond to
the real will of the people-'
Madero was asked tonight when
he would resign his position as pro
visional president tendered him by
the convention of revolutionists at
!San Luis Pctosi last November.
Will Resign at Once
"When Senor do la Barra becomes
President ad Interim," he said.
"Naturally I never have been rec-1
ognlzcd by the government as tno

Madera declared that -while he
thought he might finally have to
travel via San Antonio and Laredo
in the Journey to Moxico City, he

Only a Letter
The resignation was in no way ac
cording to plans. It was a day
late and Instead of the formal at
imarance of the aged president, ac
companied by a glittering bodyguard,
came only a letter, brief, tragic, and
striking a sort or awe into tno lis
teners. Its readlngwas followed bj
dead silence Instead of the awaited
uproar in the chamber, but in the
thronged streets the crowes were
boisterous at ip news that Diaz
was no more president.
The moment of the acceptance of
the resignation was at 4:54 o'clock.
Praise for Diaz
The letter was introduced by Dep
uty Jose Aspe, whose praise of the
general-president brought forth ap
nlause that drowned -his voice. The

president of the republic, with which the national vote
honored me, which' I do with all the more reason since,
