be went to congress to ?T.eAk about the
tariff.
handing befoie tlio kehcUo and house
of .representatives in joint setslon a no
other president had ilone for more than
a hundred and twelve stats. President
Wilson stated ulmplj .md tersely what
he thought should be dono 'of the wwlfarc
of the country and askod his legislative
colleagues, man to mat), to aid In keep
ing tha ptedses of their party.
With a sweep of dociflon that shat
tered precedent, the president bruahod
aside all Imaginary boundaries between
cencrosa and the xecutive office and
rescued himself, as he cxprd It, fron
that "Isolated Island of Jealous author
ity." which the projldenc;- hud come to
be regarded.
Congress, somewhat startled the other
day. when It heard the president had
determined to deliver his im-SBRe on tho
tariff by word off.nouth. lmu prepared
for a ceremony of unusual Importance,
and such It wm yet when President
Wilson arrived In the mldot of tho pieat
assemblage, riding through throngs ol
people in the street, and later looking
up Into gnllerfes kirowded with priv
ileged ticket holders, he seemed after all
what he said he was, "a human btins
trying to co-opetute wtlh otlii human
beings In a common service."

after aU, his preeedent smashing hud not

older heads had predicted.
The presidents visit to the capRil was
brlet busting about a quarter of n-x ho'ir.
Leaving a dablnet meeting at the Whl'e
House, he started on his mission nt 12:
o'clock. No one except a secret service
man accompanied him. He rode in a
White House automobile and five min
utes later was driven through the crowds
assembled abo the house wing of the
capltol.
About 1J:W o'clock he reach-id the
speaker's room, where a joint committee
of senators and representatives wclcomod
him. They were Senators Kern, Bacon
and Galnnger and Representative Un
derwood. Palmer and Mann. Th.vpresl
deflt spoke to each for a moment and
was informed that the senate and house
awaited hlra. He said he was ready and
the committee immediately started for
the door of the house chamber.
A 12:6S o'clock the president entered
the chamber. Member of the houie and
eenate rose as Speaker Clark brought
down the gavel. From the floor, and
gallerloi distinguished visitors looked
upon the scene.
President Wilson, escorted by Senator
Bacon, bowed acknowledgment to . the
applause and mounted the speaker's
stand to the journal clerk's desk directly
in front of the speaker. With a smile as
he begun to speak, the piesldcnt told his

The biggest and most persistent lobby

blU to deprive Omaha of home rule In
o far as Its water plant Is concorocd,
and to iiny to the villages cloie to

bill Is known as the Omaha water district

and with Member Wead nnd Lobbyist
Howell doing the talking they had Ne's
Anderson lined up against the nail try
ing to convince him his political future

Letters were received by members of
the house from half n dozen Omaha bank

the First Nntitmal; Presidont Yates of
the Nebraska Nat'onal; W. D. Moore,
cashier of the City National, and A. A.

"That nettles It wUh me," ald a mem

letter. "When the big monled men of

these bankers will discover they have laid

Bullets sprayed over the Arliona town
of Naoo, wounding four negro troopers
ot the Ninth cavalry border patrol and
one army teamster. None are expected
to die.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the federals re
tired to the town, but were not pursued
by the oonstltutlonallst forces.
Following his previous method ot
strategy, OJeda did not permit the state
troops to open the attack. He met them
half way and temporarily held back the
advance with a wicked artillery fire.
Naco Is well fortified and If the stale
troops attack they must take trenches
by assault
The fight was opened at 5:30 by OJeda,
whose 800 federals met the advance of
nearly 3,000 state troop with rattling
volleys from eight machine guns and two
field pieces. Operating two of the federal
pieces were two American negroos, de
eerters from the Ninth United States
cavalry stationed along the border here
General Obregon's rebel artillery equip
ment consisted of four rapid fire pieces
and one cannon.
At the first shots, residents of this
town were hurried out of bed by troop
ers of the Ninth and Fifth cavalry. Stores
were' not opened, and all residents of the
Arizona town hurried to the theater, a
thick adobe building recognized to be
bullet proof. Balls from the long range

Suffragettes,
Try toElow Up
Dudley Castle
DUDLEY. England. April S.-,Mllitant
suffragettes early today attempted to
blow up the ruins of historic Dudley cas
tle, palts of which date back to the
eighth century.
The Inhabitants of the town were awak
ened hy a loud explosion coming from the
direction of the castle. A largo force of
police was dispatched there and on
searching the surrounding grounds lound
four chemicals and blasting powder. Most
of the powder hud failed to explode and
the damage done was not serious.
Twq old siege guns, weighing a ton
each, were thrown out of the embrasures
of the castle by the explosion.
Many windows in a group of adjacent
cottages wore broken, but none of the in
mates was Injured.
"Voles for Women and Damn the Con
sequences" was painted on one of tho old
cannon, .nd "Honor of Mrs. Pankhurst"
on another. A quantity of suffragette
literature was scattered abqut. Thu
police found no clew to the perpetrators.
One account of the explosion says the
suffragettes loaded another of the big
guns which was a relic of the Crimean
war. It was a Russian cannon captured
at the siege of Sebastol.
Another campaign of destruction was
started' by the militant sdffragettes of
lxindon against the mall boxes today.
Hundreds of boxes were rendered useless
and much mall'was destroyed by the use
of acids, ink and burning rags.
