KILLING OF HELPLESS WOMEN
AND CHILDREN AND DANGER
TO PROPERTY TO CEASE
Washington — The collier Justin the
state department has learned has ar-
rived at Conlto with 350 marines un-
der command of Major Smedley But-
ler who reported at once to Captain
Terhune commanding the gunboat
Annapolis who has been given full
authority to deal with the military
situation In Nicaragua as it affects
American interests It Is believed
this marine force was at once dls
patched to Managua a six-hour rail-
road run from Conite
How this force will be used de-
pends entirely upon the will of Amer-
ican Minister Weitzel He has al-
ready protested to the rebels against
the bombardment of Managua filled
as it is with women and children and
non-combatants If his force is not
sufficient to stop the bombardment
officials feel assured that he will hold
the city until reinforcements from
Panama or the bluejackets of the
Denver now enroute to Corinto can
be placed at his disposal
The state department has let it be
understood that it does not propose
to tolerate this lawless shelling and
killing of helpless women and chil-
dren and endangering American lives
and seizing and destroying American
property The officials are quite em-
phatic in pointing out that General
Mena the head of the revolution has
completely alienated the sympathies
of this government by his conduct of
the rebellion

POLITICS BEGINS TO WARM UP
HOUSE PASSES BILL AGAIN
Re-Passes the Measure Eliminating the
Commerce Court Vetoed by Taft
Washington — The executive legisla-
tive and judicial appropriation bill ve-
toed by President Taft because it con-
tained a seven-year tenure for the civ-
il service and provided for abolishing
the commerce court was passed by the
house again Saturday It now goes to
the senate
The only change the appropriation
committee made In the bill after it
came from tbe white house was to
drop out the civil service restriction
Before the senate acts on the meas-
ure it will go through the hands of its
appropriation committee Many mem-
bers of the committee stated they
feared leaving ont both of the sections
to which the president had objected
While the senate undoubtedly would
approve a bill to abolish the com-
merce court many republican and
democratic leaders favor the legisla-
tion out of the appropriation bill
Should the bill as passed by the
house go through the senate without
change it is believed the president
again will veto it and force upon con-
gress the alternative of acceding to
his wishes or facing a deadlock with
the house which would greatly pro-
long the session Democratic house
leaders believe the bill containing the
abolishment of the commerce court
if vetoed by the president could be re-
passed by a two-thirds vote there but
it probably would fail of such re-passage
in the senate

a shuttle between the two houses since
last February The measure carries
$160000000 The president has
signed the bill and the pension bureau
is mailing out the checks Many of
the checks already were prepared and
waiting at the eighteen pension agen-
cies to be mailed
A provision placed hi the pension
bill as originally passed by the house

cies throughout the country caused
delay The senate objected to elim-
inating the agencies and a deadlock
ensued The senate finally agreed to
a provision which will eliminate tbe
agencies January 81 1913
The elimination of agencies will
force some 250 clerks employed In
