SENATE PASSES
REPEALMEASURE
Revokes Free Tolls for Amerl
can ShipsThrough Canal.
Washington, June 12.—Repeal of
Panama canal tolls exemption for
American coastwise shipping passed
the senate by a vote of 50 to ?5.
The passage of the bill after a bit*
ter struggle that has lasted for sev
eral months was regarded as another
victory for President Wilson.
Although thirteen Republicans
came to the aid of the Democrats who
voted for the bill on final passage the
president initiated the movement in
his party for repeal and it was be
hind him that many of the Demo
crats who voted "yea" lined up on
the last test.
There has been no certain promise
from the White House that the presi
dent will sign the .bill with its qual
ifying amendment, but there has been
no declaration that he will veto it,
and party leaders in the senate were
practically certain that its approval,
as amended by the house, will lead
to the last favorable action by the
president
There was an outbreak among
Democrats which showed more plain
ly than anything which has gone be
fore the deep feeling that has been
aroused by this bill.
Senators Vardaman of Mississippi
and West of Georgia came near to
blows, creating a scene such is had
not been witnessed on the noor in
many years.
Apparently only the interference of
Senator Ashurst and the presence of
the sergeant-at-arms prevented a
physical encounter.
HOUSE ACCEPTS CHANGES
Bill Repealing Free Canal Tolls Goes
to the President
Washington, June 13?—Only Presi
dent Wilson's signature is necessary
to repeal the clause of the Panama
canal act exempting American coast
wise shipping from tolls.
The long and bitter fight in con
gress came to an end when the house,
after brief debate and without the
formality of a conference, accepted by
a vote of 216 to 71 the senate amend
ment specifically reserving all rights
the United States may have under the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty or otherwise.
Representative Underwood, Demo
critic leader, although voting for the
senate amendment, said that congress
should never have made this "un
American surrender," and called the
amendment "ineffective and negative."
Republican Leader Mann, who had
vigorously opposed repeal, supported
the amendment, declaring it left the
entire question of the rights of this
country to be determined in the fu
ture.

PREMIER VENIZELOS.
Greek Prime Minister Makes
Strong Declaration on Turkey.
THREATENS WAR
AGAINST TURKEY
Greece Insists on Better Treat
ment of Subjects.
Athens, June 13.—A warning to
Turkey, which fell little short of a
formal declaration of hostilities, was
uttered by Premier Venizelos of Greece
in the chamber of deputies. He was
speaking on the treatment of Greek
subjects in Turkey.
The premier's attitude showed that
the tension between Greece and Tur
key is near the breaking point and
that the danger of war is imminent
The premier obviously found diffi
culty in restraining his language
when he spoke of the way in which
the Turks have treated his country
men. He said:
"I do not wish to allow to escape
words which cannot be recalled, but
I should fail in my duty if I did not
inform the chamber of deputies that
the situation has become grave—even
very grave.
"If a stop is not put to these con
ditions the Hellenic government will
be forced not to content itself with
joining in the lamentations of un
happy refugees."
The Greek government sent a vig
orous note to Turkey demanding ces
sation of the persecution of the
Greeks in Turkey and the repair of
damage caused to them and their in
terests.

ABOUT THE STATE
News of Especial Interest to
The abatement law passed by the
last legislature has been held consti
tutional by the state supreme court
The decision reverses Judge F. N.
Dickson of the Ramsey county dis
trict court, who held that the portion
of the law providing for the closing
for one year of property used for im
moral purposes and the forfeiture of
personal property in' any such prem
ises was unconstitutional.
The court holds that the act is the
proper exercise of police power.
The statute passed by the last leg
islature prohibiting soliciting of or
ders for liquor in "dry" territory
also was upheld by the court. The
test case was started at Fertile.
The supreme court also decided
the state game and fish commission
is not entitled to $42,000 fees which
the commission claimed should be
transferred to it to maintain the

The court holds that all such fees
should be turned into the state rev
enue fund.
The decision will leave the state
game and fish commission without
funds until Aug. 1.

PREPARES TO ENFORCE LAW
Indian Commissioner Comments on
Recent Liquor Ruling.
"I Intend to enforce the law as con
strued by the United States supreme
court" Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs, said, referring to the
decision which declared "dry" all that
portion of Minnesota included in. the
1855 treaty with the Chippewa In
dians.
Mr. Sells added that be has .not
seen the text of the decision and until
he has read it he cannot say whether
he will mak« any recommendations
for legislation removing the restric
tions against lfquor selling. He real
izes that some of the affected terri
tory is not really "Indian country."
"All I can say now is that I intend
to enforce the law," Mr. Sells said.
"With that purpose in view I have
wired Henry Larson, the chief of the
suppression of liquor selling in In
dian country, to come at once from
Oklahoma for a conference. I can't
say anything more until I have read
the decision."

dreds of fine shade trees were de
stroyed and small buildings were
wrecked.
Thousands of dollars' worth of dam
age was done to business buildings.
The fatalities occurred at the gov
ernment Indian school in the northern
part of the city, where Quincy Sham
bo and Frank Shran, two Indian stu
dents, were struck by flying boards
from a barn and killed. Both are
residents of White Earth, Minn.
The streets of the city are blocked
with trees torn up by their roots, and
telephone, telegraph and electric
wires are down in all parts of the city.

track the street car struck it, reduc
ing it to a tangled mass of iron and
splinters and throwing the three oc
cupants nearly 150 feet The men

MAY OPEN LAND TO ENTRY
Lindbergh's Bill Affects 6,000 Acres in
Northern Minnesota.
Favorable report was made by the
public lands committee of the house
of representatives of Mr. Lind
bergh's bill opening to entry 6,000
acres of land in Northern Minnesota.
The tract in question was withdrawn
by the Republican administration a
number of years ago for flowage and
reservoir purposes.* Experience has
shown that it probably is not needed
for reservoir purposes and therefore
it is to be opened to homestead en
try by the terms of the Lindbergh,
bill. The land lies principally in the
counties of Cass, Crow Wing, Itasca
and a portion of Beltrami.

DELEGATES SIGN
FIRST PROTOCOL
Decide on Plan for New Mexi
can Government.
Niagara Falls, Ont., June 13—Dele
gates from the United States and the
Huerta government formally affixed
their signatures in the presence of
the mediating representatives of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile to the first
protocol of the series through which
it is hoped to restore peace in Mex
ico.
The agreement reached regarding
the manner of transferring the ex
ecutive power from Huerta to the
new provisional government stood the
acid test of reduction to writing. It
provides that:
A government is to be constituted
in Mexico of a character to be pro
vided later, which shall be recognized
by the United States on a date to.be
fixed and which from that day for
ward shall exercise public functions
until there shall be inaugurated a
constitutional president
This plank in the peace plan was
reduced to the form of a protocol af
ter more than three weeks of discus
sion, in the last three days of which
so serious a disagreement had arisen
that the success of the entire media
tion program was threatened. The
brief protocol was significant of two
things:
It makes no mention of General
Huerta as the provisional president
and it omits the method of transfer
which the Mexican delegates and me
diators suggested and to which the
United States-strenuously objected on
the ground that its retention would
be tantamount to recognition of the
existing regime.
As for the American delegates they
consider the method of transfer a
closed incident. All parties are now
concentrating on the second part of
the peace plan, which will form an
other protocol. It relates to the name
of the provisional president and pos
sibly will include his cabinet of four.
Though the protocol is composed
of comparatively few words it is the
embodiment of that for which the
United States has been striving for
more than a year—elimination of Hu
erta.
DANGER OF FAMINE EXISTS
Food Supplies Will Be Rushed to Vera
Cruz.
Washington, June 13.—Fear of a
real famine at Vera Cruz because of
failure to receive food supplies owing
to the breach in the railway and to
the refusal of the Huerta government
to permit the rails to be replaced is
giving the war department no little
concern.
Acting Secretary Breckenridge has
concluded that the task of provision
ing the city is beyond the ability of
individuals and has plans for the ship
ment of food on government trans
ports.
News of the threatened famine set
the telegraph wires to work out of
the department of commerce and Sec
retary Redfield received assurances
that American merchants soon will
have large supplies of food on the
way to Vera Cruz to be sold at mod
erate prices. These shipments will
go in free of duty, if officials here can
arrange it

his wife, who died about six months
ago. Mr. Stevenson suffered a nervous
breakdown, and a month ago he came
to Chicago from his home at Bloom
ington, 111., for treatment His condi
tion gradually became worse and he
entered a hospital. The burden of
his years and the Oppressive heat of

Bitter Feeling.
Butte, Mont., June 15.—Rioting by
seceding members of the local union
of the Western Federation of Miners
continued but with the announcement
that Governor Stewart would arrive
to investigate the situation some
semblance of order was Restored.
After dynamiting and looting the
safe of the local union many of the
2,000 revolters against extra assess
ments and the card system of the
union continued to parade the
streets. Dynamite was exploded un

WOMEN'S CLUBS IN
FAVOR OF SUFFRAGE
National Federation Declares
for Political Equality.
Chicago, June 14.—Breaking down
a twenty-year fight on consideration
of political and religious subjects the
suffragists won an endorsement of the
principle of women's suffrage by the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs. There were tears of emotion
in many eyes. In a distant gallery
began the melody of the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic," its notes
sounding above the tumult of ap
plause and spreading until the re
frain, "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," was
heard in every part of the mammoth
Auditorium.
The only woman taking part in the
discussion was Mrs. James Leach of
Louisville, Ky., who offered a prayer
for calm discussion. Several would
have discussed it, but Miss Lutie E.
Stearns of Milwaukee, Wis., objected.
"I don't see why there should be
any discussion," she said. "Eight mil
lion women are waiting for us. As
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt said in
her wonderful address the women of
the world are waiting for our action."
The dissenting vote was very
feeble.

CALIFORNIA VOLCANO ACTIVE
Terrific Outburst Occurs From Mount
Lassen.
Redding, Cal., June 15.—Mount Las
sen finally erupted with volcanic fire
and one man was killed, one injured
and two are missing as a result of the
terrific outburst from the crater.
Two new craters, in addition to one
blown open May 30, burst from the
mountain side. Fire from them was
seen from roofs here, at Volta and
other points. This was regarded as
establishing the nature of the out
break, which has been ascribed to
geyser action.
A previous eruption came from the
crater on May 30. A. Lansing Gra
ham ventured too near the cloud of
smoke as it shot 2,000 feet into the
air and a jagged rock sawed him near
ly in two, cutting off his arm and ex
posing his heart. He was taken to
Volta, a few miles distant, and died
there.
