WASHINGTON", April CO. State and
party affiliations were broken repeatedly
tn tha house In the. concluding hours of
the fight on tbe Canadian reciprocity bill.
Iemoorats denounced their fellow demo
crats for supimrtlng a republican pro
tective principle, and republicans hurled
criticism against their fellow republicans
f'ir marching with the democrats towaid
the free trade Jt"al.
During the seven hours of debate twenty
four men spoke on the reciprocity meas
ure. Two thirds of them made pleas for
Its defeat In speeches of from one minute
to a half hour In length. In this number
ware two democrats from North Carolina
and republicans from many of the north
em states.
Most of the criticisms of the bill were
from agricultural section and based on
the belief that reciprocity with Canada
undei' the agreement would Injure the
agricultural Interests of the t'nlted State.
Klfferences In the North Carolina delega
tion, all democrats, were vigorously aired
on the floor. Representative Webb said
that Claude Kltchln, who opened the reci
procity flarht last Friday, bad no right to
criticise him or other members of the
slate delegation who proposed to vote
ncalnst the reciprocity treaty. Mr. Kltchln
had accused him of standlnK with the
republican standpat leaders, but he said
he could with equal Justice accuse Mr.
Kltchln of having worked with these same
republican leaders In the past.
Temperate words from the presiding
officer, Mr. Bherjey of Kentucky, brought
from Mr. Webb the statement that !i 1
no personal feeling; against Mr. Klu'.:..i.
but that four members of tha state delega
tion proposed to rote against the ueree
ment because they believed It was op
posed to all democratic Ideas.
The Minnesota delegation also broke on
the rocks of reciprocity.
I'rootT Makes First Speech.
(if firing an amendment to the Canadian
reciprocity bill, which provides for placing
on .' the free list manufactured articles to
fompeflsate, hef(Bir1ciJ4triraI. interests if
the nounVrV,' Representative Prouty of Iown
made his maiden speech In the house to
day l-lrV opposition to the proposed agree
ment a submitted by the ways and means
committee.
"This treaty," said Mr. Frouty, "com
pels the farmer to sell his products In
competition with Canada, but compels him
to buy In a protected market. That la
unfair to the farmer. Representing aa I
do a farmer constituency, I should rather
like to see It tried on somebody else first.
Must all these experiments be tried on the
farmer? T think It Is time to try them on
somebody else.'
Mr. Prouty said there were some things
In the proposed farmer free list bill of
fered by the democrats for which he could
vote, hut there Were some things In it
which he must oppose.
"This bill." he continued, "which they
hat designated as the 'farmers' free list
bill.' puts on the free liBt beef, veal, mut
ton, lamp, pork and all kinds of meat.'
This would throw the American farmer
Into direct competition not merely with
Canada, but with Mexico, Argentina and
other countries south of ua, where every
one knows animals are raised for less than
half of the cost In the t'nlted Etates."
Mr. Protity's amendment would Include
' flour, packing products and many other
manufactured articles.

mony among all concerned. The election
of Mr. Bush has been very highly spoken
of In the west,
"Mr. Bush was elected a director of the
Iron Mountain, succeeding Mr. Warburg,
resigned.

Longworth May Enter
Diplomatic Service
Rumor that Son-in-Law of Former
President is to Go to Germany
or Other Important Post.
WASHINGTON, April . While Preal-
' dent Taft has not decided definitely on a
j successor to Ambassador Hill at Berlin,
one name that he Is expected to consider 's
I that of Representative Nicholas Longworth
I of Ohio. Mr. Liongworth is understood to
be willing to enter the diplomatic service,
j having spent about all the time he carjs
ic rn congTrss or poimcmj me. noin ne
and Mrs. Iiigworth, who was Alice Roose
velt, are Intimate friends of ths president.
One objection that might be made to hla
, appointment to such an Important position
as that at Berlin would be his inexpertenoa
in diplomatic affairs. - If not selected for
Merlin, however, Mr. Liongworth may be
hosen to fill some other Important post.

CONGRESS WANTS
NO INTERVENTION
Members of Foreign Relations Com
mittee Deplore Public Discussion
of Mexican Trouble.
RESOLUTION SOON SIDETRACKED
Missourian Taken Sharply to Task for
Expressing Views.
OPINION NOT GENERALLY HELD
Bacon Says that it Would Mean
Declaration of War.
REVERSAL OF POLICY, SAYS ROOT
ftenator lodge Desperates THseaseton
of Situation In Mexico and Ways
Onr Feeling la Moat Klntlly
Toward Mister Nation.
WASHINGTON. April 20.-Congress Is In
no temper to meddle In the Internal affairs
of Mexico, and In the senate a majority of
both sides of the chamber will endeavor
to prevent open discussion of the travail
through which the republic south of the
Rio G,rande Is passing.
This was made clear today at the conclu
sion of a speech on the Mexican situation
by Senator Stone of Missouri, who advo
cated empowering the president to use the
army and navy In any way' he might see
fit to protect American lives and prop
ertles. The resolution was referred to the
foreign relations committee, which Is not
likely to act upon It soon. '
Senators Cullom, Bacon, Root and Lodge,
all members of the committee, Immediately
deplored public discussion of our .sister re
public's troubles and several took the Mis
sourian sharply to task for the tenor of
his remarks, suggesting that such discus
sion should occur only in legislative session.
Senator Bacon said he wanted .It under
stood that the views of Mr. Stone are not
universally shared In the senate. He said
that to give the "power to use the army
as he may see fit" Is In Itself a declara
tion of war and the time for such an ex
treme course had not arrived.
Root Is Emphatic.
Mr. Root was even more emphatic in his
disapproval.
"Orantlng that Injuries had been done to
the lives and property of American citixens
that ought to be redressed. It does not
follow that we should begin the process
of securing redress by threatening force
on the part of a larger force against a
smaller and weaker one."
This, he said, would be a reversal of
national policy and a step backward In
civilisation. eH regarded the passage of
a resolution giving the president such
broad discretion as equivalent to a declara
tion of war. It prefaced with a threat
"our demand for reparation." said he.
In the Interest of peace Senator' Lodge
deprecated discussion of the situation In
Mexico, toward which country., he -said,
"tfe have' none but the'klsdllest' feelings."
Senator Culberson of Texas Introduced
a desolution declaring It to be the sense
of the senate that "intervention by the
1'nited States in the existing revolution
In Mexlca would be without Justification,"
and that "the extent to whloh the Lnlt?d
States should go la to enforce the neu
trality laws with vigor and fully protect
life snd property wlthl ntheir limts along
the Mexican 'border line."
The resolution went to the commlttoe on
foreign relations.
STO.NH (OMMRMU PRESIDENT
Would Give Him Foil Anthorlty to
Deal with the Problem.
WASHINGTON. April 20. -A positive dec
laration In favor of giving ,the president
power tp prevent a repetition of the killing
of United States citizens bv Mexl can hel-
Hgerents was made In the senate today by
senator William J. Stone of Missouri, a
democrat and a minority member of the
senate committee on foreign relations.
Mr. Stone commended the president for
sending I'nlted States troops to the sons
of disturbance, contended for tha right of
the Fnited States to protect the lives and
property of United States eitliens and con
demned the landing of the British hlu.
Jackets from the Shearwater as an act of
war.

More Lots at well.
The growth of new communities which
have sprung up In many parts of the west

service Is remarkably rapid. Villages are
established as soon as farm lands are
opened to settlement and these In surpris

of no mean Importance.
