gress Preparing to Prsss lav;
migration Reforms.
Washington.—While committee! of
both houses of congress are preparing
to press Immigration reforms at ihe
next session, Speaker Clark is giving
attention to the other side of the ques-
tion. Emigration, the speaker said.
Is costing the United States millions
of dollars a year In actual money,
aside from the loss Involved In giv-
ing up a real American to be replaced
by a foreign Immigrant.
“It is high time," said Mr. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the in-
fluence of emigration upon our fu-
ture. Theee Americans who are leav-
ing ub understand our customs, our
ways and aspirations, while most of
the Immigrants who enter this coun-
try have to be taught these things.
“In one week, not long since, 1,845
American farmers with $3(18,500 in
cash and $146,000 In personal prop-
erty, crossed Into Western Canada to
settle permanently In British North
America. That Is an average of $288
per capita and the week was below
the weekly average Into the region
alone. How many go to other coun-
tries I do not know.
•These emigrants are among our
best citizens. I am personally ac-
quainted with 200 or 300 of them.
There is not a bad or shiftless man In
the lot. They are seeking to better
their condition. The principal reason
they expatriate themselves is the lure
of lands and a less stringent laud law
as to homesteading, etc.
“Congress should make our home-
stead conditions as easy as possible
compatible with safety, and should In-
crease the area for home building by
judicious encouragement of both Irri-
gation and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult citi-
zen is of the money value of $1,000,
considered solely as an asset to the
country. If this Is true, the 1,845
American farmers who crossed the Ca-
nadian border depleted the assets of
this country $2,378,500, which, multi-
plied by 52, would make the grand to-
tal of loss to the republic $123,682,-
000 gone to Canada alone.”

dent and general manager of the

lez, at the head of an army of over
one thousand men representing all
branches of the Mexican military serv-
ice, together with four mountain can-
non, five smaller cannon and other
artillery and a detachment of rurUea,
marched Into Nuevo Laredo at ioon
Friday, Joining the federal gaalxon
there.

three months ago at the head of an
army of 2,000 men, reaching Nuevo
Laredo with half that number. With
the arrival of General Tellex and his
army Nuevo Laredo will be desig-
nated as the base of military opera-

vigorous campaign against the rtbeis
would be prosecuted.
Upon the approach of Tellex the
rebels evacuated Colombia and Hi-
dalgo and began to march toward
PieriraB Negras to join the main body
of the constitutionalists.
General Tellez denies the report con-
cerning the reverses to the federals In
a battle at Rodriguez on Wednesday
and claims that only skirmishes and
desultory fighting has occurred along
his Hue of march to Nuevo Laredo. He
abandoned the repairing of the rail-
road track and bridges after rebels
had followed and destroyed one or
two bridges which had just been con-
structed.
Accompanying tfoe Tellez army to
Nuevo Laredo was a procession of
several hundred women and children
who had been with the army since it
left Mexico City and had covered most
of the distance afoot. Most of the
women were burdened down with large
bundles of luggage.
It is reported that one detachment
of Tellez’s army left the main body
some miles distant from Laredo and
proceeded toward the rebel strong-
hold at Piedras Negras.

Land for Seguin Cannery Is Donated.
Segutn, Tex.—William Bauer, a local
capitalist, donated outright a valua-
ble piece of land, adjolutng the South
ern Pacific railway right of way, to

Washington—President Wilson Mon-
day signed the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill with a statement declaring
that he would have vetoed, if he could,
the provision in it exempting labor
unions and farmers’ organizations
from prosecution under a certain
$300,000 fund designated for operation
of the Sherman anti trust law.
The president characterized the ex-
emption as “unjustifiable In character
and principle," but called attention to
the fact that the department of jus-
tice possessed other funds with which
to enforce the anti trust law.
The urgent need of various govern-
ment departments* for funds appro-
priated by the bill Influenced the pres-
ident to speedy action on the meas-
ure. The bill carries $116,000,000 In
appropriations, and was vetoed by Mr.
Taft March 4, because of the labor ex-
emption clause. When the bill was
reintroduced and passed by both
houses In identical form by the pres-
ent congress, this provision was the
subject of sharp debate.
In his statement the president said:
“I have signed this bill because I
can do so without, in fact, limiting the
opportunity or the power of the de-
partment of justice to prosecute vio-
lations of the law by whomsoever com-
mitted.
“If 1 could have separated from the
rest of the bill the Item which au-
thorized the expenditure by the de-
partment of justice of a special sum
of $300,000 for the prosecution of vio-
lations of the anti-trust law, I would
have vetoed that Item, because it
places ujion the expenditure a limita-
tion which is, in my opinion, unjusti-
fiable In character and principle. But
I could not separate it. I do not un-
derstand that the limitation was in-
tended as either an amendment or an
interpretation of the anti-trust law,
but merely as an expression of con-
gress, delivered as a very emphatic
opinion, backed by an overwhelming
majority of the house of representa-
tives and a large number of the sen-
ate, but not intended to touch any-
thing but the expenditure of a single
small additional fund.
“I can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor in any way
embarrass the action of the depart-
ment of justice. Other appropriations
supply the department with abundant
funds to enforce the law.”

Youth Shoots Up Washington Court.
Washington—Judge, lawyers, police-
men and spectators were sent scurry-
ing to cover in the criminal district
court Monday when Ray M. Stewart,
18 years old, fired three wild shots
in an attempt to “shoot up” the court.
At the first crack Justice Wendall P.
Stafford disappeared beneath his desk
and in the courtroom there was a wild
scramble for places of safety. Some
sought refuge under tables or behind
heavy chairs and others, frenzied by
fear, leaped into windows and drop-
ped to the ground fifteen or twenty
feet below.
Justice Stafford had just refused to
release Stewart on probation after
conviction for attempted highway rob-
bery. The boy whipped out a pistol
and fired three shots, two of which
narrowly missed Assistant United
States Attorneys Samuel Hawken and
Harvey Given and Policeman Moffatt.
He was in the attitude of turning to-
ward the judge us if to shoot when a
witness sprang upon him and choked
him into insensibility.

gine. He stuck to his post. The train

sengers to disembark and none ot
them was seriously Injured by the ter
rlfic explosion which followed.
Latest Fashions Seen on the
Aristocratic Boise de Bologne
Two Samples of the most recent productions of the Parisian Dressmak-
ing geniuses.
CLOTHES FOR RAINY DAYS
Fashions and Customs Have Under-
gone Remarkable Change In the
Past Ten Years.
Fashions and customs have changed
overwhelmingly In the past ten years,
but in no other respect more than In
the rainy day garb. Everyone remem-
bers with many a hearty laugh the
way people used to look out of the
window and say, In a resigned way:
“Well, it’s raining.” That meant very
positively that good looking clothes
were not in decent taste In such
weather, and one must wear a mack-
intosh—was there ever a more hide-
ous garment made?—beelless rubbers,
dark clothes, shabby shoes and one’s
oldest hat And who ever did enjoy
anything In her oldest hat! Nowadays
the girl who looks on the cheerful side
of things and rather enjoys the rainy
day for a change has a bright red or
purple hat that, of course has no
feathers, but is plain and serviceable,
hut which she knows ie most becom-
ing. She wears her tailored suit, but
It has a short skirt and is protected by
a good looking raincoat. Her shoes

are high and thick, but they are just
as good looking as those she keeps for
sunny days, and often, to add another
bit of color, ehe carries a red or pur-
ple silk umbrella. It keeps the rain
off just as well as a black one and It
just makes you feel better. It Is won-
derful what a becoming hat and gay
umbrella can do toward chasing away
tbe blues or. a stormy day.
SOAP TABLETS FOR TOURISTS
New Preparation That la Likely to-
Appeal to Traveler of Fastidious
Tastes.
Somehow soap powder has never
taken the fancy of fastidous folk.
It is not especially pleasant to UBe
and It never smells like anything but
tbe washroom of a railway station or
department store. It, moreover, has a
way of sprinkling itself around every-
where except on tbe bands in a messy
and disagreeable way, and dainty wo-
men who travel will have none of
It, preferring to carry tbe wet cake
of personally preferred toilet soap
In a rubber lined receptacle in the
traveling bag. A new soap tablet,
however, will be likely to appeal to
the fastidious traveler, because of its
oonvenlenco and the attractive way It
is put up. Fifty of these tablets are
packed like bonbons in a pretty little
box less than three inches square. A
pair of nickel tweezers are tucked In
the box for extracting tbe tablets—
again like bonbons—and the tablets
themselves, though firm In composi-
tion, dissolve easily in the water. And
the entire package costs no more than
tho ordinary cake of good toilet
soap.
HAIR A LA POMPADOUR AGAIM
French Expert Says Style of Hair-
dressing for This Season Will
Be Simple.
An indication of the fashions hr.
hairdressing for the forthcoming sea-
son was given at a meeting of more
than 400 hairdressers from London.
Brussels and Berlin In London re-
cently.
“The tendency Is,” said a famous
Paris hairdresser, “for the hair to be
dressed upwards, and, In fact, to show
a return to the pompadour style. The
keynote of the new fashion is sim-
plicity. There will be practically no
chignon, and the hair will not, as for-
merly, be brushed flat over the ears.
The new style should be especially
suitable for the Englishwoman.”
Blue and White China.
Blue and white German china, dec-
orated with Delft deslgna, la good
china tor the blue breakfaat table.
It is made on good lines, is thin
enough to be dainty and thick enough
to be durable. A coffee cup and sau-
cer in this china Is priced 60 cents.
An interesting place of blue and
white fluted Copenhagen tableware is
a square egg dish with scalloped top
with a dainty egg cup held by the
stem In each of the eight scallops.
New Tailored Waist.
A new washable shirtwaist is made
up on tbe lines of a man’s shirt, with
plaltod bosom front, dickey collar and
black cravat. It may also be had la
white crepe de chine.
