TRY IN VAIN TO PUSH
THE PRIMARIES BILL
Senators Declare II Would Have
Prevented Present Contro-
versy If Passed Before.

Senator Sutherland Of Utah said In
the Senate today that II the PolndeXter
bill relating to election of Senators had
been passed three months ago as it
ought to have been, the complications
in the Blair Lee case in Maryland, and
in the Alabama case would have been
avoided.
He spoke in connection with an effort
of Senator Walsh of Montana to have
the Poindexter bill, making provision for
the election of Senators in the various
States, taken up.
Efforts to have the bill consideied to-
day failed, however. Senator Bradley
objected, and whom Senator Walsh
sought to get a motion to take the bill
up considered, Senator Clark objected
because of the pending agreement that
the Hetch Hetchy bill was to be dis
posed of today.
The Pondexter bill would make effec-
tive for the purpose Of clecting Sena-
tors by direCto vote such laws as the
States already have applicable to the
nomination and election of various
officials.
1t is expected tn" bill will be taken up
and disposed of soon as the cur
rCncy debate will permit it.
Senator Walsh made the important
statement that the PoindeXter bill did
not prejudge either the case of Blair
1t" or OF Frank i. Glass in Alabama.

REBELS BLOW UP
TRAIN, 123 KILLED
Twenty Women. Among the
Dead After Dynamite Plot
Near Santa Helena.

MEXICO CITY. Mexico (via Calves.
ton, TeX.) Dec. 6.-Manno Ricardo Cor.
dero, commander of the federal military
train which escaped destruction forty
miles north of Santa Helena three days
ago, arrived here today and described
the blowing up with dynamite Of a
freight train and the other military con-
voy there. resulting in the death Of 10a
soldiers and twenty women camp fol-
lowers.
General Cordero explained that the
constitutionalists tapped the telegraph
wire and obtained information that both
military trains were following the
freight and arranged to allow the
freight train to pass and put detonating
mines, under the two following. On ar
riVing at Santa Helena Lieut.. Col. Fall
con de la Pena, commanding the trains,
ordered the military train under Gen
eral Cordero to precede the freight. The
constitutionalists, as arranged allowed
the first train to pass and blew UP the
freight and the second military train
containing 200 troops. later pouring a
rain of fire into the cars.
Officer Is Tortured.
Col. de la Pena was captured by the
constitutionalists who cut off his ears,
tore out his tongue and gouged out his
eyes. They then killed the women camp
followers.
General Cordero finally succeeded in
driving off the attacking band, captur-
ing a man believed to have exploded
the milres. He was forced to sit on a
charge of eynamite. which was ex-
ploded, blowing him to fragments.
There Is report current here to-
day that Morela has been captured by
constitutionalists under Martin Espi-
nosa. Morela is n valuable point, COM

that the federals nave suffered a crush
ing defeat north of Zacatecas, between
Fresnilo and Calera, being forced to
fall back to Calera, where they were
surrounded. and are calling for re-en-
forcements. The casualties are esti-
mated at several hundred. This effectu-
ally checked the advance Oh Zacatecas
Meager details received here indicate
that the federals were attacked by con-
stitutionalists after being forced to re-
treat to Calera, where they were flanked
by smother cOnstitutionalist detach-
ment, and practically annihilated.
Rumors are current that Monterey
has fallen. The reports are unconfirmed,
although the indications are that the
attack will be made soon II II Is not al
