REASONS FOR VOTE
Register in Favor of Demo
cratic Protection Bill for
Sake of Principle.
SLOAN TAKES LEADING PART
(From a Staff Corre.pond.nt.)
Washington, July 10. (Special Tel
egramsDemocrats are jubillnt to
night over the passage of the so
called emergency revenue measure,
which is planned to raise an addition
al $200,000,000 of revenue to "take
care" as they say, "of the extraor
dinary necessities of the army and
navy. The bill creates a tariff com
mission, imposes a protective' tariff
on dyestuffs, repeals present stamp
taxes and provides for new taxes on
incomes, inheritances and war muni
tions profits.
' No Complete Bill Offered.
This was ' rpobably the first in
stance in a decade when democrats
brought into the house a revenue bill
with protection efatures written all
over the face of the measure. The
minority members of the ways and
means committee "failed to counter
with an outright tariff bill drawn
along protection lines, including pro
visions for a tariff commission, tax
on munitions, on anti-dumping' and
lb repeal, of ahe. -stamp-, ow.v.y.-,
Although they had been advised
months ago that the democrats were
considering an emergency revenue
measure, the minority"members of the
ways and means'committee too late.
awoke to the realization that many
republicans would vote tor the bill m
the absence ot anything that repre
sented their own party platform or
principles.
Position of Nebraskans.
This position led Representatives
Sloan, Reavis and Kinkaid to vote for
the measure. Mr. Sloan during the
course of the consideration of the bill
under the five-minute rule offered five
amendments as previously' outlined in
the bill briefly explaining tneir pur
port which were as quickly voted
down by the majority.
Reavis Gives Reasons.
ReDresentative Reavis in given his
reasons for voting for the bill said
that its features were strongly en
dorsed by his constituents, namely, a
tax 011 munitions, the income tax, the
tariff commission and the repeal of
the stamp tax.
"It the republicans, naa presented
measure as a substitute for the
democratic bill contemplating this
legislation I would have been found
shoulder to shoulder with my repub
lican brothers, but the ways and
means committee hadlno substitute to
offer, except a motion to recommit
with instructions (for which I voted),
and that being lost I voted for the
bill."
Kinkaid Votes for It.
Judge Kinkaid was much in the
same oosition as rteorcscmauves
Sloan and Reavis, and after the repub-
1 cans- had exhausted all their rights
and after they had sought to recom
mit the bill to the ways and means
committee, "with instructions to
amend the bill so as to raise an equit
able portion of the required revenue
from a protective tariff," Mr. Kin
kaid voted for the bill, as his constit
uency is in favor of a repeat of the
stamp tax, a tax on munitions of war
and for a tariff commission.
Fordney's Amendment.
The amendment offered by Repre
sentative Fordhey, the ranking minor
ity member of the ways and means
committee, sought to send the bill
back to the committee with instruc
tions to amend the bill so as to
raise an equitable portion of the re
quired revenue from a protective tar
iff, sufficient to protect adequately
American industries and American
labor, and to be so adjusted as to pre
vent undue exactions, by monopolies
or trusts, paying particular attention
to the conditions inevitable at the
clofe of the present European war,
with a view to insuring the industrial
independence of the United States.
Outgrowth ot tonterence.
This was the outgrowth of a long
conference held yesterday at the resi

VESSEL WITHOUT "ARMS
British and French Ambas
sadors Call Attention to
Subsea's Arrival.
ASK FOR STATUS OF CRAFT
Washington, July 10. The British
and French embassies today officially
called the State department's atten
tion to the arrival of the German
submarine Deutschland and asked
that 'this government assure itself of
the vessel's character.
This will be done, it was announced,
by the assignment of naval experts to
assist the Treasury department.
Vessel Without Arms.
The fact that boarding officers
found the German merchant submar
ine Deutschland wholly unarmed goes
far toward simplifying any Question
as to its status as a merchant ship in
American waters.
Officials realize, however: that the
British tni French embassies, while
interested little in what the Deutsch
land has brought over, are concerned
over the cargo of rubber and ntckel
it proposes to carry back to Germany
and expect that nothing will be left
undone by Germany's enemies to pre
vent or hinder its clearance. '
Although the fact that the submer
sible is unarmed is of first importance,
such factors as the composition of
the crew and actual ownership will
have, to be established to determine
whether the submarine could be class
ed as a naval auxiliary.
Running Blockade Important,
Naval officers, while attracted bv
the great size of the submarine and
its long voyage, consider the fact that
it successfully ran the allied blockade,
attracts them most, some of them
pointed out that if a successful means
of running a blockade has been per
fected one of the most potent meas
ures of warfare had become a thing
of the past.
Until the customs officials' report
is received, Acting Secretary Polk
said today that no action was con
templated by the State department.

Mansfield, suspected of murdering
with an axe the Joe Moore family
four years ago. . ' -
. Mansfield was placed in the Mont
gomery county jail, where he will re
main until given a hearing. At the
hearine before Governor Capper in
Topeka Saturday morning Mansfield
attempted to prove that be was em
ployed in Illinois at the time of the
Villisca murder, but evidence was pro
duced sufficient to convince the gov
ernor that the prisoner's statements
were at least conflicting, and the ex
tradition was granted.
It had been generally supposed
here that Mansfield would not be
brought here and placed in jail, but
that he would be spirited away to
some other county. However, there
seems to be no unusual feeling over his
presence in Kcd Oak and it is thought
he will be kept here until he is tried.
The date of liij preliminary hearing
is not yet set.
De Facto Soldiers
Fire Upon American
Sailors at Tampico
San Antonio, Tex., July 10. The
withdrawal under sharp fire from Car
ranza soldiers of a party of American
bluejackets that attempted to clear
the river at Tampico of mines several
days ago was published July 7 in El
Diax of Monterey, a copy of which
arrived here today. The published ac
count of the incident concluded what
purports to be a copy of the official
report made by General E. P. Nafar
rate to General Trevino at Chihuahua.
The report credited to Nafarrate
follows:
"Today two launches of the Ameri
can warships, lying at the entrance
to the port, attempted to remove
mines that I have placed at the bar.
Since they did not obey the signals
made to them to suspend their efforts,
I ordered that a volley be fired at
them. The crews of the launches re
turned the fire, the exchange of shots
continuing for fifteen minutes. The
launches then retired.
"From -the movements of the
American ships it appears they may
be planning to disembark forces.
"I snail continue to mine the river.
I shall appreciate the dispatch of dy
namite." Two sailors from the Salem were
killed by Carranza soldiers while en
tering the harbor with dispatches on
June 27, according to 1 letter from
Tampico, received here today,' The
Mexicans are said to have fired on
the American launch as it passed the
jetties at the mouth of the river. The
American naval commander is re
ported to have demanded an explana
tion from General Nafarrate by noon
of that day.
The explanation, according to the
writer of the letter, was made, Its
nature was not told.

Villista band, under Calixto Contrer
as, into the mountains of Durango,
according to a telegram received to
day by General Gonzales at Juarez.
The message from General Trevino
at Chihuahua City said the Villistas
did not give battle at Las Nievas, as
expected, but continued up the Rio
Florido. Ramos has a force of 1,500
men.
Villa Appears at Jimenez.
Francisco Villa appeared in Jimen
ez after its capture by bandits, ac
cording to La Democrata, a Car
rauzista organ published in Chihuahua
City, a copy of which has been
brought to El Paso by travellers.
This paper states that after annihi
lating the de facto force, under Gen
eral Ramos, at Corralitos, the Villis
tas entered Jimenez, sacked, the place
thoroughly, put to death the Car
ranza officials and gave the captured
soldiers their choice of joining their
party or of having their right ears
cropped. Calixto Contreras was then
in command, the paper says, but later
Villa entered the town in a carriage.
He is pictured as having walked on
crutches and as having seemed badly
crippled in the legs.
In this account the Villista force
was estimated at 2,000 men.

miles were driven under, the surface
of the water."
