The congressional district conventions
to elect two delegates each to Baltimore
will meet tomorrow morning. Indica-

HOUSE TO PASS BILL AT ONCE
Americans Endangered in Mexico by

Policy of United States Chanscd

cent Madero Revolution In
Southern Republic.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Revolutions.
fnibustering expeditions or the promotion
of domestic violence in any country in
pan-America hereafter may not hope for
war supplies OF any description from the
United States.
This principle, proclaimed today in a
concurrent resolution adopted by the SEN
ate at the instance Of President Taft, IS
practically certain to be passed by the
house tomorrow.
Though aimed primarily 10 meet the
inadequacies Of the present neutrality
laws, to which the Mexican government
called the presidents attention. the reso-
luton when put into effect Will empower
President Taft to prohibit at his discre'
tion, through the issuance Of proclama-
tion, the expectation Of munitions Of war
to any country with which the United
states Is at peace.
Anticipating summary action by the
house tomorrow, where Representative
Burleson Of Texas will take charge Of the
measure, Treasury and War department
officials tonight issued instructions vir-
tually hating all shipments Of arms into
Mexico until the resolution is declared
effective
Promoters Evadc Laws.
I.oopholes for the violation Of neutrality
lawsadmIttedly are many. and profess
sional promotres Of revolutions in Latin
America, through varying devices, have
succeeded In evading the statutes.
To the Mexican rebels who captured
Juarez recently with the sole purpose OF
possessing a port OF entry through which
they might import arms unrestrictedly,
the resolution will prove a stubborn OBJ
stacle. Today's action is a departure
from the policy OF the United States dur
ing the Madero revolution. when ports OF
entry held by the rebels received arms
and ammunition u regularly consigned to
merchants.
