AN AGREEMENT
REACHED IN SENATE
Republican Factions Come to Terms
On Committees.
PLACES FOR pRoGRESSEfs.
PLACES FOR PRoGRESsIVEs.
All Will Enter Caucus and Agree to
Abide by ResuIts-6ut Promises
Must Come
First.

Washington, Mar. 10.--A contest
over the organization of the senate At
the coming extra session Of the Sixty
second congress will be avoided
through an agreement regarding the
committee assignments by which the
progressive Republicans will be &C.
corded substantial recognition. It de-
veIoped that the progressiyes had re-
fused to entertain a proposition from
those Democrats who follow the Lead
ership Of Senator Stone that the, pro-
gressives join with them in q COM
bination for control Of the senate or
ganization.
To a man this proposal was rejected
by the progressiyes. Even II they had
accepted 1t the chances are that it
would have been defeated by dissen-
lions among the Democrats them
selves. Senator Bailey, the leader nt
the other Democratic faction, and his
followers would have refused to enter
into such an agreement, and In this
attitude they would have had the sup
port Of Senator Culberson Of Texas
and other Democrats who, while open
ly opposed to the leadership Of Bailey,
have not identified themselves with
the Stone faction.
AS result of conferences by the
progressives a plan has been decided
upon by which that element Of the Re-
publican side will enter the Republi-
can caucus and abide by its action.
The progressives will do this under
assurances that they will be fairly
dealt with in the organization Of the
committees. It is their purpose to
submit in advance q list Of the as
signments they desire
Senator LaFolIette, because Of his
advanced position in the matter Of
railroad regulation legislation both as
a member Of the senate and az gov
ernor OF Wisconsin, desires 3 place on

familiarity with the postal system,

KANSAS MUST PAY TWO GENIE
Supreme Court Decides the One Gent
-. Militia Passenger Fare Law
Unconstitutional.

Topeka, Mar. 1S.-Kansas must pay
two cents a mile for transportating
members Of the national guard from
one point in the state to another. The
Kansas supreme court in a decision
holds that the one-cent mile fare 10
unconstitutional, in that 1t discrimi-
mates against the railroads.
The railroads never fought the rate
which has been in effect since 1895,
until the board of railroad commits
sioners made the order establishing
the two-cent passenger fare in the
state. Then the roads held that the
one-cent rate for militia was dis
elimination in favor Of the state and
against the people, and that 1t did not
give the railroads the same protection
under the laws as was given other
property interests.

PRESIDENT TAFT
SPOKE IN ATLANTA
Made Leading Address at Southern
Commercial Congress.
TOLD OF WORK OF CONGRESS
Failure to Pass Reciprocity Bill q
Observation-Disclosures the
Hat" for $4,000 for Public
ity Fund.

Atlanta, Ca, Mar. 11.-President
Taft came to Atlanta, received an
ovation from the thousands Of
Georgians gathered to do him honor
and passed the hat" at the meeting
Of the Southern Commercial congress.
While taking up the collection the
executive raised $4,000 for the cause
Of Southern exploitation.
Mr.. Taft made the leading address
at the meeting of the congress. He
told the assembled industrialists
about the results and failures Of the
Sixty-first congress. This he detailed
after paying a tribute to the spirit
which had reared the New South from
the wreck Of old. The failure to pass
the Canadian reciprocity bin in the
senate said the executive was the
cause Of the greatest disappointment
Of his administration. He said that
the refusal of the senate to vote 1usti-
fed the call for an extra session, mas
much as it was plain to all men that
the country as a whole was in favor
Of this measure.
Speaking from the same platform
with the president was Woodrow Will
son, governor of New Jersey who is
being doomed in Atlanta for the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency,
Secretary Of War Jacob NJ. Dickinson,
John Hays Hammond and George
Westinghouse.
President Taft arrived in Atlanta
shortly after IL o'clock, The engine
on his train broke down 40 miles east
Of here and he arrived late. A great
crowd of people greeted Mr.. Taft at
the station and lined the streets be-
tween the depot and the auditorium.
1t had been planned that the presi'
dent should not do more than review
the delegates to the congress. How
ever, when the appeals were being
made for more money with which to
carry on the work Of presenting the
south's resources to the world. MT.
TAFT jumped from his seat, took the
gavel from the hands Of former Gov.
David r. Francis Of Missouri and call
ed upon the delegates TO hand out the
money. This interesting proceeding
took the convention on Its feet.
Pledges we're made amid scenes q
great enthuaIasm and the money de-
handed was promised in i've minutes.
The whole day has been filled to
overnowIhg with Hospitality. Lunch

IHEARMYGOESTO
PRESERVE PEACE
First Effort viii: Be to Enforce
Neutrality Along Border.
PLANS Of THE lNSURREcTOS
The Establishment Of An Independent
4 Government In Northern States
4 Of Mexico VIII be
4 Opposed.

Charlottesville, Va. Mar. 10-The Sc
cret Of the mobilization OF the Ameri'
can troops In Texas and otherwise
along the Mexican frontier came out
before the presidential party bound
Z aor Atlanta had been away from
washington two hours.
THE troops are massed on the from
tier for the purpose Of possible opera
tions across the border. They are
there to intimidate the Mexican insur-
wectos and they are there to maintain
neutrality between this country and
1ts southern neighbor.
Not For Manuevers.
\ President Taft let 1t be known soon
after he left the capital that the army
would not be merely engaged IN
unanuevers. 1t will first patrol the
Grontier for the purpose Of restraining
american adventures and preventing
The insurrectos from falling back upon
their resources in this country and
then II need be 1t will actually invade
Mexico to preserve peace.
The government is informed tnat
She plan Of the insurrectos Is to or
EauIze q republic Of the northern
states Of Mexico. The capital is to be
nocated in lower California. From
sthere 1t IL intended that the revolu-
tion shall spread until 1t involves the
whole OF Mexico.
Check Instruction.
This state Of affairs must, in the
Judgment of this government, be OPP
Wosed. The first move is therefore to
nut an effective check upon the
sources Of supplies and encourage
Sment which are located on the Ameri-
can side Of the line. This the 10000
troops now on their way to Texas and
California will be ordered to do.
Absolute neutrality will then be
enforced. It matters not how long 1t
takes to do this. The army will re-
unain on duty two weeks, six weeks or
ak months, II need be, in order to
make effective the neutrality Of the
border. II by doing this the Ameri-
Can government can aid the Diaz ad-
administration to cope with Its difficult
eies, such aid will be freely given.
II seems that the administration has
mad knowledge Of the proposed organ
azation OF the new republic from the
beginning. whether this information
came from Mexico City or from the
agents Of the Washington administra-
don now in northern Mexico was not
plain to those on the presidents spe-
cial train.
Menace American Interests.
Such q republic as intended by the
revolutionists Ia regarded by the ad-
administration a. q menace to American
anterests, not only in the beligerent
territory itself but on the American
hide Of the border Immediately ad-
.1Acent to the northern states Of Mex
aco.
That anarchy will rule there for an
/. indefinite period, should the Diaz gov
eEnment be unable to prevent the for
nation Of the new republic, 10 the de-
IIberate opinion Of the president and
mis- advisers. This would do great In
Jury to the, American interests, as well
. rs to the interests Of other countries
whose money is invested in the north
ern states.

AMERICANS SAW
MEXICAN BATTLE
TOOK WOUNDED IN MOTOR CARS
Insurrectos Tried to EntIee Federais
Into the Canyon But FalIed--A
Defeat at San 6artoIito
Pueblo.

Douglas, Ariz., Mar. 13.--Eleven fed
eral soldiers dead, II wounded, will
the losses to the rebels unknown, II
the result Of q battle just east Of Agus
Prieta.
The opposing forces we're 500 insur
rectos under Gen. Jose de La Luz
Blanco and federal force Of 800 d.
rected by Col. Mora.
The battle was spectacular and was
witnessed by several thousand Ameri'
cans, many Of who rushed close to
the battle field while the firing was
still at its height. After the smoke
had cleared away. 1t was Americans
in motor cars who gave the first aid
to the injured, hurrying them to Aqua
Prieta, where American physicians
were in readiness to assist the Next
can army surgeons. II there were any
rebels killed or wounded they were
taken back to the mountains by their
comrades.
After mystifying both the Mexican
officials and the Americans on the
border for a week, Blanco suddenly
brake out Of the canyon leading from
Cenises Springs and engaged the fed
eral troops that had been rushed into
Agus Prieta on a special train, under
command Of Col. Mora. Except for
a few prisoners taken by the federals,
the rebels retreated In good order. 1t
Is understood that Blanco's entire
force did not participate in the en-
gagement.
Blanco's first move was to throw
out skirmish line for the purpose OF
drawing the federals into action to
ascertain their strength
The battle lasted an hour, and 1t is
believed that the retreat that followed
was for the purpose Of drawing the
federals into the canyon where the
main body of BlancO's force was sta
toned. The federals, however, after
a spirited pursuit, rallied and returned
then to Agus Prieta, refusing to be
entrapped.

Do you know what it is to be a

Are you good ior anything to your
