CHIEFTAIN
General Zapata, First to Raise
Standard of Revolt, Run
Down in HisJ-air in
Morelos Mountains. '
By Associated Press. -
Mexico ' City. April 11.
Emiliano Zapata, the rebe
leader in southern Mexico,
has been killed by government
troops,' according to an announce
ment made by the Mexican war de
partment today. The announcement
confirmed an earlier newspaper re
port of Zapata's death from Cuautla,
in the state of Morelos.
The message said that a part of
the 50th regiment serving under
General Pablo Gonzalez of the Car
ranza army, returned to Cuautla,
General Gonzales headquarters, to
night with the body of the dead
rebel chief.
Death Result of Strategy.
Advices from Morelos say that
the death of Zapata was brought
about by strategy, Zapata, with his
followers, had been hiding in an in
accessible mountain region since the
government troops had pacified the
state of Morelos, which had been
the stronghold of Zapata since he
began his revolt m
The rrhpi rhipf is said to have
been killed in an unnamed part of
the mountains of southern Morelos
by troops under command of Colonel
Guaiardo. The War department has
promoted the colonel to a general-
snip tor ins ieat.
lAt the heieht of his nower sev.
eral yearsago General Zapata fig
ured as the possible head, of the
Mexican government. At three diN
fereht times during the last 10 years
his lollowers were in control ot
Mexico City for brief periods.
First Rebel Leader to Fall. .
Since the fall of Porfirio Diaz
Emiliano Zapata and Francisco Villa
in southern and northern Mexico,
respectively, have been the sources
of unending trouble for the various
governments of Mexico. Zapata, the
first to raise the standard of revolt,
is the first to fall. Villa still is ac
tive in the north, although not on
as an extensive scale as formerly.
for 10 years Zapata had ravaged
southern Mexico, starting with
small force in 1909, he was able by
1911 to defeat government forces
sent against .htm and during the
Iluerta regime held sway over sev
cral states in addition to Morelos,
where he began and ended his ca
reer. For a short time in 1914 Za-

Repudiation of
Germany at
Anticipated
While British and French Legislators Aii Demanding
Full Indemnification for War Costs, U. S. Repre
sentative's Doubt Whether Bill for $45,000,000,000
. to Be Presented Can
By Associated Press.
Paris, April 11. While
and French parliaments are mobilizing for a proposal to
exact nothing less than full indemnification of the allies by
Germany for all the costs of the war and are insisting on
Germany's ability to pay the
sentatives on the reparations
able doubt whether even the account to be presented to
Germany under the plan adopted by the council of four
(estimated at about $45,000,000,000, withJ the payment
spread over a period of 30
in full.
Foresee Repudiation of Debts.
They assert that they can see the
possibility that the ways and means
of holding Germany to payment will
grow weaker as the years pass and
that Germany may take advantage
of some convenient opportunity in
later years to repudiate her obliga
tions to the present allied powers
under the . peace . treaty.
They recall the action of Russia
in repudiating the restrictive Black
sea clauses of the treaty imposed at
the conclusion of the Crimean war
at a' moment when a new political
constellation in Europe gave the
emperor of Russia a fair amount of
certainty that Russia could do this
with impunity.
For this reason the American and
other delegates on the reparations
commission have opposed a new
proposal which the French brought
in to specify labor and other requisi
tions, for the restoration of- the de
vastated French provinces in the
first few years after peace, main
taining that this revived the prin
ciple of priority as between the var
ious creditors of Germany, which
had been rejected by the commis
sion and the council of four.
France Meets Objections.
They argued that France in this
way might receive disproportionate
ly a large share of her claims in
the first years, while Hhh ability of
the associated governments to en
force payment wis still good and
that other states dependent upon
later payments ill money and ma
terials might be left "holding Jhe
bag" if Germany proved recalcitrant.
The difficulty probably will be
met by the French offer to account
Gompers Protests Change
In Covenant of Labor
. V
President of American - Federation Warns Against
Reopening Declaration Made by Representatives
in Paris ; Outline Given of Work of Inter-Allied
Commission in Session Two Months at Paris.
New York, April 11. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who has just
returned from the peace conference
where he served as chairman of the
international labor legislation com
mittee, tonight cabled President
Wilson, protesting against reopen
ing the report drafted, by the com
mittee. "
Mr. Gompers' action was based
on the announcement that the plen
ary session of the peace conference
had adopted ' the report, with an
amendment offei'ed by G. N.
Barnes, labor member of the British
cabinet Ihis amendment recog
nizes that conditions peculiar to
the Orient make absolute uniformity
in labor legislation impossible."
"I cabled President Wilson that I
am impelled to protest against any
amendments or reopening the cove
nant," Mr. Gompers said, in an
nouncing that he had cabled to
Paris. "It took the labor represen
tatives of the world two months to
perfect the covenant and I most
emphatically protest against, re
opening it. ,
To Coafer at Washington.
Speaking of the report drafted hy
the inter-allied labor commission,
Mr. Gompers-declared:
It is an instrument that can only
make for the good of the working
people and the masses of people in
all the .countries of the world.
"It provides for an international
labor conference annually and in the
interim a governing board. The
government board is composed ot
representative of , each govern
ment, a representative of the em

one woman advisor for Questions
affecting women. The conference

Selection of Geneva 1
as Capital of League j
Is Criticised Bitterly
Paris, April ll.My the As
sociated Press.) Bitter criti
cism has been aroused in French
and Belgium quarters, over the
choosing of Geneva as the capital
of the league of nations. The
fact that President Wilson's
speech in behalf of Geneva was
wholly responsibe for the choos
ing of the Swiss city as against
Brussels is greatly resented.
"You will not dare to choose
a city as the capital of the league
of nations which incarnates the
enmity between races a city
which has been wronged, doubt
less,' but which makes a recon
ciliation between, the peoples of
Europe more distant by the very
wrongs it has suffered," Pres
ident Wilson is reported to have
said to the delegates in arguing
against the selection of Brussels.

as labor at home in the manufacture
or production of materials to be
used in restoration work.
in this country at Washington next
October and I have been selected as
president of this conference. The
deliberations will last ten weeks."
Declarations Adopted.
While Mr. Gompers said he could
not make public the text of the re
port drafted by the inter-allied com
mittee of which he was head, he
added that, in addition to the report
itself, the committee made certain
declarations which it hoped might
also be incorporated in the treaty.
These declarations he said, are "fund
amental v and of benefit to labor,"
and are as follows: .
"1. Labor-shall not be held as a
commodity or article of commerce.
"2. A standard adequate wage.
"3i- An eight-hour day.
i'4. Equal pay for. equal work by
man or woman when of equal quan
tity and equal quality.
"5. Protection of child labor."
Difficulties Overcome.
fA great deal of difficulty was ex
perienced at the sessions of the la
bor committee in Paris before the
United States could become a party
to the program," said Mr. Gompers.
"This is due to the dual govern
ment of the United States the
state government and the federal
government with - separate labor
legislation. Our program could not
trespass on the states' right tofdeal
with labor legislation. Provisions
were made to overcome this diffi
culty. - .
, "The maritime nations objected to
our seamen's laws, but a protocol
was drawn up so that no state shall
be asked or be required to enforce
any agreement in the covenant of
the inter-allied labor committee
which involves a lowering of stand
ards for seamen or any other of the
laws which might make standards
lower than existing ones."; .
tion will be whether the board s nail
go out of existence immediately or
continue quiescent until the presi
dent returns and a final policy is de
termined. Secretary Redfield, Assistant
Secretary Sweet, Solicitor Thurman
and Chairman Peek today drafted a
cablegram to thepresident. Un
til the president gives a decision the
board will not undertake to continue
its, activities and no-prices will be
announced on lumber, brick, cement
or other commodities under consid
era tion. ,

Iowa Executive's Impeachment
Urged by Committee Which
i Investigated Rathbun
Pardon Case.
Des Moines, April II. Impeach
ment of Governor W. L. Harding
will be recommended to the Iowa
house of representatives by its iu
diciary committee, as the result of
the investigation of the Ernest Rath
bun pardon case, the committee de
cided late tonight.
Seventeen members of ' the com
mittee voted "yes" and fourteen "no"
on this question: "Does the evidence
in this case warrant the recom
mendation of this committee that
articles of impeachment be prepared
and preferred against the governor?
Ihe committee s action came after
heated secret sessions last night.
this afternoon and tonight with
friends of the governor fighting to
the last to defeat the impeachment
recommendation.
It was decided to defer action un
til tomorrow at 1 o. m. in the case
of H. M. Havner, state attorney gen
eral, whose methods in gaining re
vocation of the Kathbun pardon
were attacked before the committee
Official Misconduct Charged.
A sub-committee was named to
draw up the report to the house
which probably will be submitted
Monday, if the committee' completes
its discussion of the Havner case to
morrow as planned.
It was not made known just what
wordina the charges acainst the
governor would take, but in a brief
to the committee, ri. w.uyers ot
Des Moines, special counsel, de
clared the evidence showed the chief
executive guilty of "gross abuse of
power and official misconduct and
malfeasance in office."
Evidence In Case.
When the governor pardoned
Rathbun, the son of an Ida county
farmer, before he had served a day
of his life sentence for criminal as
sault, the evidence showed, accord-
ng to Byers, that the chiet execu
tive had not attempted to inform
himself fully regarding the case,
failed to try to revoke the pardon
when he learned fraud had been
practiced upon him.
Members of the committee would
not predict what action the house
might take on their recommenda-l
tion. If it sustains the committee
report, thereby impeaching the gov
ernor, the lower chamber would
elect seven of its members to prose
cute the charges in the senate,
which would sit as a court.

Monroe Doctrine Put
in Covenant of League
Parrs, April 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press) While the text of the
Monroe doctrine amendment -adopted
by the league of nations com
mission at its session last night is
withheld, its main featuresi are sub
stantially along the following lines:
Article X Nothing in this cove
nant shall be construed as invalidat
ing any agreement such as the Mon
roe doctrine for the maintenance of
peace. :
The exact language of the amend"
ment' is closely guarded and efforts
to obtain a copy of the text met
with the statement that, although
there is peculiar American interest
in the amendment, there was no rea
son for departing from the definite
policy of the commission" not to dis
close textual changes in, the cove-,
nant as the work progresses.
The official statement - on last
night's session issued this, morning
does not mention the action on the
Monroe doctrine amendment, al
though it has been admitted offi
cially from other sources that' the
amendment was adopted. , . j
Discussion Dramatic in Character.

The British attitude had been in"
doubt until the last, but Lord Robert .
Cecil turned the scales by announc

amendment in the form presented by-.
the president. M. Larnaude of . the
trench delegation followed Lord-
Robert with objections to inserting
the Monroe doctrine. 1
The Chinese .also offered obiec
tion to the amendment - en th-
ground that its language was so ex
tended that it might validate certain
principles and claims affecting Chi-;
nese anairs. - . 1
Impassioned Plea By Wilson.
The president paid the closest a
tenfion to the opposition to tin
amendment and jotted down notes
for a reply. In his speech the pres
ident spoke with great earnestness
and with some evidence of feeling, r
He declared that the Monroe doc
trine was enunciated to combat the
Holy Alliance and to hold back the ,
threat of absolutism which was then
menacing Europe and seeking,- to
spread its absolute , power to the
western hemisphere. , f
it served "its purpose in keeomo-
this absolute power from tut west

One of its great purposes, he said,
