NEW MAN FOR
fj h
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson
Resigns to Allow Appointment
of Administration Man.
Mexico I lily. March a.--Henry
Lane Wilson. I lie present I'niled
Stales ambassador I" Mexico, lias
announced that lio lias telegraph
ed his resignation to President
Wilson and requested that it lie
accepted as soon as convenient
to appoint hi* successor.
The reason given for this ac
tion is that the post is. under
the present circumstances and
the unrest now prevailing in
Mexico, one of great importance
to the new administration and
that a man directly affiliated with
President Wilson should repre
sent the government in Mexico.
The future actions of the Amer
ican government towards Mex
ico will tie greatly a matter of
consideration in the party’s
councils, and therefore they
should be carried out. by a rep
resentative of the dominant party.
Henry Lane Wilson is a broth
er of the late John L. Wilson, of
Seattle, and has held the post
since 1909 and previous to that
he had been minister at Venezu
ela. r.hili, Belgium and Oreece.
tie has been in the diplomatic ser
vice since 1889.
New Nickel Soon Out.
Washington, 1>. C., March 5.—
Coinage of the new nickel has
been ordered by Secretary Mac
Yeagh, despite objections of cer
tain "slot machine interests, it
will be placed in circulation this
month. Protests against the new
coin dwindled to one manufac
turer, who contended it would
interfere with the efficacy of his
slot machines for the detection
of counterfeit nickels. Treasury
officials overruled this objection
and I lie new 5-eenl piece, with an
Indian head on tin* face and a
buffalo on the reverse, was adopt

TIFT VETOES THE
CIVIL SHIRT BILL
Because It Exempts Both Farm
ers and Labor Unions From
Prosecution.
Washington, I.). C., March 5.—
President Taft vetoed the sundry
civil bill, giving as his reason for
s doing the fact that the meas
ure would exempt the labor un
ions and associations of farm
ers from the anti-trust law.
The president said that unions
of farmers, laborers or capital
ists were all in restraint of trade
and should be treated alike, and
this was the reason assigned for
the veto.
The House immediately re
passed the bill over the veto.

OUTLINES POLICY $F HIS ADMINISTRATION—WANTS BETTER
PROTECTION TOR WORKINQMfeN—OUR NATURAL RESOUR
CES ARE WASTED—MARSHALL’S ADDRESS WITTY.
W ashington, I). March 5.—
President Wilson's inaugural ad
dress was received with great
enthusiasm here and all the Hast
en! press have favorably com
mented upon it.
President Wilson said that this
was not to him a day of triumph
hut rather of dedication to the
work of the people; we muster
not only the forces of the Demo
crat ie party hut the forces of all
humanity to the aid of the races.
The change in administration
was caused by the stirring of the
masses to govern themselves.
The government, he declared, had
teen debauched with riches, which
had caused inexcusable waste:
progress lias been achieved at
fearful loll of life in mines and
factories: our natural resources
had been wasted. The work of
the new administrat ion should be
one of restoration. We needed
■tariff and banking reform. Our
water courses lie undeveloped;
our agricultural work is crude
and the industrial system of the
United States unscientific, and re
stricted liberty and opportunity.
Labor, life and health, said the
president, should be better safe
guarded.
The address of Vice-president
Marshall was witty and brief. He
said I hat the government should
not use the army and navy as
an accessory for burglars, but we
should preserve our treaty obli
gations.
President Wilson's address re
quired only two columns of the
newspapers and is one of the
shortest addresses of many years.

SENATORS CAUSE
AN INVESTIGATION
Failure to Provide Protection for
the Suffragettes Makes So
lons Wrathy.
Washington, I». March 5.—
Senators Nelson and .Jones de
manded that an investigation be
made by the authorities of the
District of Columbia into the lack
of police protection afforded the
suffragettes in their parade of the
third.
The drunken, disorderly con
duct of the hoodlums, the rowdy
ism. at Centenial hall after the
parade; the coarse remarks made
during the addressers, forcing
Mrs. Taft and her daughter, Hel
en, to leave the platform, ha*
been roundly denounced by the
senators, and they say it is a
disgrace to our civilization that
such scenes as were enacted at
this demonstration could occur.
