OKLAHOMAN STARTLES SENATE
BY REMARKABLE SPEECH Oil
MEXICAN CRISIS.
SENATE INDORSES PRES. POLICY
Dictator Is Flayed As Cruel Assassin
America Should Not Stop Until
Usurper It Deposed Says
Speaker.
Washington. Asserting that Presi-
dent Wilson -was moro than justified
In refusing to recognize Huerta
fes president of Moxlco and that tho
United States must not turn back
until it has established constitutional
government In that republic. Senator
Owen Btartled tho senate with a ro-
xnarkablo denunciation of tho Mexi-
can dictator. Ills speech was an In-
tlmato history of Huerta from tho
tlmo ho toro tho reins of power from
tho hands of Madero to the present
day. Through It ran the color of
blood and Us story reeked with mur-
der Intrigue and vlolenco whero in-
nocent men who talked too much
went to sllenco bohlnd prison walls
and Huerta by the forco of arms and
the Impelling power of fear Imposed
his will upon 12000000 people.
Recites History of Murders.
Senator Owen told again tho story
of tho fall of Porflrlo Diaz (the riso
of Madero and tho plot of Huerta
and Felix Diaz Porflro's nephew
which led to tho overthrow and death
of Madero and put Huerta In tho presi
dent's chair. Ho recited tho uprising
of Carranza on authority of the leg-
islature of the state of Coahulla and
told how Senator Domlnguez dared
denounce Huerta to tho Moxlcan sen-
ate declaring that Heurta had pact--fled
the country by extermination.
The senator said tbat shortly after-
wards Domlnguez disappeared and
was reported murdered. Then he told
of attempts to Bccure an Investigation
of his death by the Moxlcan con-
gress and how Huorta put tho con-
gress In Jail.
"Whereupon" ho continued "Hu-
erta by decree declared himself In-
vested In flagrant violation of the
constitution with legislative and Ju-
dicial power In effect military dic-
tator of Mexico. Moreover ho declar-
ed tho constitutional guarantees of
freedom from arrest for members of
congress abrogated; and having thus
Invested himself with tho legislative
and judicial powers of Mexico ho
charged almost tho entire Moxlcan
congress with sedition and treason."
Senator Owen dwelt at somo length
on tho "election" held for president
of Moxlco on tho 2Gth of October
1913. Ho said tbat while Huerta had
announced ho would not be a candi-
date he had enlarged tho powers of
his military stato governors to cover
tho election machinery. Four days
before tho election tho sonator said
despite formal assuiAnces to tho dip-
lomats In Mexico City that he was
not a candidate election posters wero
eent broadcast urging tho people to
voto for Huorta. Huerta sent Instruc
tions to his governors said tho sen
ator to return tho votes favorable to
him nnd not to return moro than a
certain part of the- precincts thus -injuring
a void election. This program
he said was carried out In every do-
tall and tho Moxlcan congrcsB discov-
ering that less than half tho voting
precincts hnd sent in returns de
clarcd the election void and expressed
a doslro that Huorta continue as pro-
visional president
"Huertn" ho added dramatically
"still Is dictator."

OARRANZA TAKES TAMPIGO PORT
HUERTANS EVACUATE FOLLOW.
ING BOMBARDMENT.
Retreating Toward Capital By Trains
Loss of Life Heavy In Final
Assault.
Washington. Evacuation at Tarn-
Pico by tho Mexican federal garrison
has boon accomplished according to
a relayed wirolcss dispatch to tho
navy department from Hear Admiral
Mayo. Tho federal troops loft by the
railroad.
That tho rebels encountcrod dos-
porato reslstanco in their final attack
and that they wore compelled to carry
their fight to tho heart of tho town was
indicated by Rear Admiral Mayo'i ro-
port. He roported that whon tho reb
els occupied the city there was heavy
rifle firing in tho plaza nnd that big
gun firing continued.
Tho federals retreated by way of
the railroad leading to San Luis To-
tosl nnd it wns assumed that thoy
hoped to reach Pachuca tho terminus
of a railway lino that leads Indirectly
to Moxlco City. Tho railroad out of
Tamplco to Monterey is held by tho
constitutionalists.
That tho loss of life In tho capturo
of this Important seaport has been
heavy Is Indicated by roports coming
from tho front dally slnco tho last
campaign against tho city. Twenty
field guns havo poured shot and shell
Into tho city incessantly for days and
have -been answered by an equal num-
ber from the defenders. Two federal
gunboats aided tho city in shelling
the nttncklng forces. It is bolloved
hundreds maybo thousands were slain
in tho final assault tho rlflo fire in
tho plaza having been reported hoavy
as tho federals made their last stand
boforo entraining.
Tho constitutionalists first attackod
Tamplco last December and fighting
has been virtually continuous slnco.
Twice thoy drove the federal garri
son Into tho town and seemed near
victory only to be shelled by the Kun-
boats and forced to rotlro to tho hills.
No estimate of tho losses on either
sldo cvor has been officially obtained.
The last reports of the federal forc-
es at Tamplco indicated less than
2000 but they were well supplied with
ammunition and artillery. The pres-
ence of tho Mexican Jgunboath re
peatedly saved the city.
MAAS SUPPLANTED BY GEN. PENA
Huerta Puts Superior Commander It
Charge Near Vera Cruz.
Washington. News reached Wash-
ington through offlclal sources that
Genoral Garcia Pona one of tho high-
ost ranking ofllcers in tho Mexican
federal army had taken command of
tho forces outsldo Vera Cruz super-
seding General Maas.
This news caused speculation
around tho stato war and navy de-
partments. Some officials were in-
clined to attack special significance to
tho move seeing in it evidence of
Huerta's intention to strengthen hii
position nround tho port and possibly
to assume an offensive nttltude. On
tho other hand it was suggested that
General Maas conducted tho cam-
paign In such a maLi.er as to dis-
please Huerta but It was declared
this had nothing to do with the inter-
national situation.
In this connection It was suggested
that tho force driven out of Tamplco
might undertake to march through tho
mountains and effect a junction with
tho army between Moxlco City and
Vera Cruz. Some of those moBt fa-
miliar with the situation however
thought this highly Improbable as
tho railroad toward San Luis Potosl
over which tho federals fled from
Tamplco is in operation for only
about 30 miles and the Journey down
tho coast on foot would bo Impractic-
able. J
ARBITRATION
FDD TILS CASE
SENATE LINING UP BEHIND SUB
STITUTE MEASURE FOR
EXEMPTION REPEAL..
PASSAGE IS DOUBTFUL MATTER
Two-Thirds Majority Necessary; Op
position Against Any Delay
on Account of Opening
of Canal.
Washington. With tho cnnal tolls
exemption controversy nearlng n voto
sontlmcnt In tho senate Is growing in
favor of an effort to substitute for tho
pending bill a resolution which would
provide for tho submission of tho ills-
puto between the United Stntes nnd
Great Britain to nn international tri
bunal. Although senators who lmvo
discussed this proposal aro not Euro
It will win thoy claim many of their
colleagues aro willing to adopt this
course.
Senator O'Gormnn leader of tho
forces fighting repeal will not con-
sent to arbitration nnd tho proposal
undoubtedly will meet with vigorous
opposition among tho senators on
both sides of tho issue. It was point-
ed out however that beforo tho houso
passed tho repeal bill President Wil-
son was willing that tho question
should bo settled by arbitration.
Two republicans and one democrat
added their voices to thoso who" see In
arbitration the best way out of tho
difficulty. Senator Sutherland mado
a vigorous speech on the exemption
repeal bill asserting that arbitration
was tho ono way to settlo tho dispute.
Senator Williams nnnounced that he
would gladly voto for It and Senator
Works agreed that this plan was do-
slrable. A resolution providing for
submission to arbitration has been
Introduced by Senator Norris and may
como up for consideration beforo a
voto on tho repeal itself Is demanded.
On tho republican sldo It developed
that Senators Itoot and Lodge as
well as others piominent in tho fight
for repeal would favor arbitration.
A two-thirds voto of tho senato
would bo required to pass nn arbitra-
tion resolution. Thoso opposed to tho
Idea pointed out that arbitration
would mean a long delay nnd that in
tho meantime tho canal would bo
opened and operated and many com-
plications would nrlse no matter what
tho decision of tho court might bo.
No effert apparently has been mado
! on tho democratic sldo to sound out
senators on the plan.
Democratic leaders who expected a
voto on tho repeal bill next Monday
have discovered that tho chance for
this hopo being realized was growing
slight. Senator Jones gavo notlve of
his Intention to speak on tho repeal
bill on that day nnd it wns under
stood that other senators might not
decide to speak beforo then.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that wc arc continually pub-
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu-
ine true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spoils and
my kidneys wore affected. I bad a doctor all tho tlmo and used a
galvanic battery but nothing did mo any good. I was not ablo to go
to bed but spent my timo on a couch or in a sleeping-chair and soon
became. nlmo3t a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health and my husband heard of Lydia E. Plnkham's vcgetablo
Compound and got mo somo. In two months I got relief and now I
am hko a now woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
vour medicine to every ono nnd so does my husband." Mrs. Tillie
Waitiis 1135 Knight St. Camden N.J.
And thisone from Mrs. Haddock:
Utioa Okla. "I was weak and nervous not ablo to do my work
and scarcely ablo to bo on my feet. I had backache headache palpi-
tation of tho heart troublo with my bowels and inflammation. Sinco
taking tho Lydia E. Pinkham's Vcgetablo Compound I am bettor
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi-
cine and I havo recommended it to others." Mrs. Maiiy Ajjn Had-
dock Utica Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
For JIO years Lydia K. Plnkham's Vcgetablo
Compound has been tho standard remedy for fe-
malo ills. No ono sick with woman's aliments
docs justice to herself If sho docs not try this fa-
mous mctllclno mado from roots nnd herbs it
lias restored so many suffering women to health.
