: Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 2.-Ciudad
Juarez. across the river from here, is
practically depopulated tonight, the
resident having fled here in fear OF an
attack from the insurrectos, which is
expected early tomorrow. The Mexi-

ing under orders, took measures today
tos, who tonight were reported within

to pieces, but the engineer, suspecting
danger, leaped and was only slightly

who are left in Juarez were aroused
tonight by heavy detonation and i'm

been killed. A wire connected with
the mine and ran to the railroad bridge.
Two Americans were crossing the
bridge and it is supposed one of them
touched the wire with his foot setting
off the charge.

its voting strength by today's changes,
for while Watson, democrat, succeeds
Davis Elkins, republican, Gronna,
who succeeds Purcell, democrat, is a
republican. Watson's term will expire
in 1913 and ,Gronna's in 1915.

the foremost criminal lawyers in the
, country. confronted in court today
{ Edward Swami, the jurist whom he

court repeatedly invited him to do
so, with the full guarantee that his
language would be held privileged. He
acknowledged, however, the substance
of his criticisms, refused to retract
them, and would not plead guilty or
not guilty for his client, Joseph G.
Robin, the indicted banker, when the
court directed him to do so. 1t was
the question Of Robins sanity which
rrecipitated tt'c controversy. Swami

SHERMAN CAST DECIDING
VOTE AND SHIP SUBSIDY
BILL PASSED THE SENATE

Their enjoyment, if significant, passed
ators was attributed to the failure o1
the new senator to embrace his first
opportunity to make record.
Watson Vote Meant Defeat.
After the final result became known
opponents of the bill, including all
of the Democrats, realized that Wat
sons absence had prevented the de-
feat of the bill. He was the only
Democrat present during any of the
roll calls whose vote was not cast
against the measure. The final vote
on the bill came after three hours OF
determined conflict over amendments
Apparently there was no general ap'
probation Of the sharp division which
afterward developed and as body
the senate was unprepared for tie
votes.
N. D. Senators Oppose Subsidy.
Eight senators were paired and five
senators, Aldrich, Clapp, Davis, Suth-
erland and Watson did not vote and
were not paired. Gronna, the new
senator from North Dakota, although
a Republican, voted against the bill
on all roll calls, as did McCumber, his
colleague. AS passed the bill author
ICES the payment by the postoffice
department for the carrying of mails
at 81 per mile on the outward voyage
to second class American built vessels
plying between American ports and
ports in the Philippines, Japan, China
and Australasia and between Ameri-
can ports and ports in South Ameri-
ca, south of the equator, and the p2y-
ment of 81 per mile to third class
american ships similarly engaged.
Stops at American ports in the South
Atlantic are provided for. 1t is ex-
plicitly declared that no contract
nall be awarded to any person or
corporation engaged in any competi-
tive transportation by rail or who is
employed in exporting or importing
in his own behalf. There
is also provision limiting expendi
lures in any one year to $4,0O0,000
or to the surplus earnings Of the
ocean mail carrying business.
Another eharp Conflict.
No sooner had the result on the
ship subsidy bill been announced
than another sharp conflict was pre-
cipitated. Senators Nelson and Bor-
alb were both on their feet but the
veteran first obtained rec
ognition. II move that the senate
take up the bill authorizing the leas-
ing of coal lands in Alaska" he said
rs that motion subject to amend

the adoption of the Nelson motion
would have been to give the Alaska
bill a place of unfinished business
on the salendar which had been va
Gated by the subsidy bill. and Borah
had counted on getting that point of
for the resolution providing

First Time in History Vice
President has Decided
Three Ties
Resolution for Direct E|eC.
tion Of Senators was
Postponed
(ay Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-For the
first til. e in the history OF the gov
ernment the vice president of the
United States today exercised his con
| stitutiona: prer0gative of casting q
vote to brtsk ties in connection with
three successive roll calls in the SEN
ate. BY the first Of these votes he
saved fr5m impending defeat the
ocean mai; or ship subsidy bill. and
by the third forced the adjournment
of The senate on vote having direct
bearing ON the resolution looking to
the elecllon of senators by the iii !cc:
vote of the people.
Three Tie Votes.
The vote on the passage Of the
ship subsidy bill, both in the COM
mittee of the whole and in the senate
proper, stood 80 ayes and 80 nays
and on adjournment, 81 ayes and 81
nays. On all three occasions the
vice president voted in the affirma-
tive. Another notable occurrence in
connection with the vote on the ship
subsidy bill was the absence of the
new Democratic senator from West
Virginia, Clarence Wayland Watson,
who had taken his seat early in the
day as the successor to Senator Elk
ins. Watson was in the senate cham
ber for only a few minutes during
the session and voted on only one
roll call. This vote was cast on an
amendment offered by Shively Of In
diana, regulating the aggregate ex.
penditures which may be made under
the terms of the bill. On this pro.
vision the new West Virginia senator
cast vote in the affirmative, thus
indicating his opposition to the meas
ure.
Watson Was Absent.
After casting his vote he disap-
peared and when the next ballot was
taken Scott, his Republican colleague
announced Watson's absence saying
that he was away on important busi-
ness. The result of this roll call
was not so close as to render ma
terial the presence or absence Of any
senator and no notice was taken Of
the fact that Watson was not in at
tendance. Only q few senators gave
heed to Scott's announcement and
they laughed good naturedly over It.

day, when that committee gave its
