Washington, Oct. The entire

among democratic senators, which re-

The hurriedly-called meeting as

the democratic leaders agreed to lay
the tariff bill aside. The caucus re.

The so-ealled insurgent forces, led
by Senator Reed Of Missouri, who cir
culated the caucus petition, insisted
that there were many compromises
and amendments agreed to by the
conference committee which demand

the democrats Of the senate before
being finally written into the bill

SOCORRO ELECTRIC
CASE is in COURT
APPELLATE BODY HEARS AReU.
MENTs IN a CAUSE FROM
NEW MEXICO

Denver, oct 1.-The Kansas Nat
ural Gas company case was taken
under advisement by the United
States circuit court of appeals shortly
before noon today Following the
Kansas Natural Gas company case ar
guments were begun in the case of
the Central Electric company against
the Socorro Electric company, on ap-
peal from the United States district
court 81 New Mexico. "A motion to
quash the citations was overruled.
The case grows out Of the sale of
electrica machinery by the Central
Electric company to the Socorro con
cern. The Central company obtained
judgment in a state court for pay
ment for the machinery, but before
the Judgment could be collected the
Socorro company executed a deed of
trust, thus tying up its property. The
issue in the present case is as to
whether the company was insolvent
when this deed Of trust was executed

Wlll Try to Cause ia.eryention
Nearly 500 American soldiers ar
rived during the night at Eagle Pass.
to lend their assistance in case OF
local trouble with the Mexicans.
Rumors are current that some act
will be committed to bring about in
tervention in case the constitution
alists are unable to check the feder-
ais. Although the American consul
has delivered notice to the effect that
the constitutionalist leaders will be
held responsible for any damage to-
foreign property, it is believed that
the authority of the United States
would be impotent to prevent the dy-
namiting Of the town in case Of riots.
A message was received from Cen
eral Jesus Carranza, brother Of the
constitutionalist leader, addressed to !
the military authorities at Eagle Pass,
stating that Piedras Negras has been
temporarily abandoned by the consti-
tutionalist troops, all Of whom have
been sent to the front to resist fur
ther federal advance.
In the meantime the American sol
diers are requested to guard against
any armed invasion from the Ameri-
can side as the federal sympathizers
are likely to take advantage Of the
present conditions to force their way
into Piedras Negras, the message
stated.
Colonel Caldwell of the Fourteenth
cavalry has given instructions with a
view to preventing any movement or
ginating on American territory.

Mrs. Allison Rexroat was on the
farm but about to return to Chicago
when this man made his appearance.
He took photographs Of the farm and
it's buildings, retouched them with
colors and attempted to sell the result

declined. This seemed to be the busi-

Mex!cans Leavs pIedraa Nearas

Washington, Oct Although a
great exodus Of refugees from Piedras
Negras, across the Rio Grande into
Eagle Pass, Tex, has taken place
within the last "a hours, officials here
pointed out today that only small
portion of them are Americans. Hun
dreds OF Mexicans have been concen-
trating in Piedras Negras from the
interior Of Coahuila and many of
these, fearing for their safety in the
event Of the expected occupation Of
the constitutionalists capital by Mex
lean federals, have sought an asylum
on American soil
Officials al The var department
are not alarmed over the situation
now that the border patrol has been
reinforced by additional soldiers from
Fort Sam Houston, and they suggested
today that the presence of a machine
gun platoon on the American side at
the international bridge would in all
likelihood insure protection, regard
less of the straits in which the
hard-pressed constitutionalists may
find themselves.
So far no application has been re-
ceived for the admission into Eagle
Pass OF a band of Japanese. who, 1t
is said, fear the federal occupation
of Fiedras Negras because their sym
pathIes have been with the constitu-
tionalists. Yet, i'll case they should
be granted an asylum on the Texas
side, it is probable they would be
interned and in that event a question
would Immediately arise over the pay
ment of their board bills. The Jap
anese are said to be destitute.
Foreigners to BE Protected
The State department was advised
today that the commander OF the Car
rancistas at Piedras Negras has given
assurances that foreigners and their
property will be afforded every pro-
lection so long as he is in command
Other reports received at the state
department indicated that the. Car
rancistas will not attempt to destroy
the international bridge
The report OF Consul Blocker con
firms the officials IN their original
belief that there is no danger Of an
international clash at Piedras Negras,
but thar the only cause for apprehen-
sion lies in the presence Of large
number on refugees not only civilians
but fleeing consntntionalist soldiers,
in Eagle Pass. on the American side 3
OF the Rio Grande
Consul Blocker reported that he
had crossed the river with Major Cad
well, commanding the United States
troops at Eagle Pass, and two Ameri-
can citizens, and had conferred with
Gabriel Calzada, commander Of rhe
garrison at Piedras.
Calzada assured him that 70 attenipt
would be made by his troops, even II
they were obliged to surrender the
town to the federals, to destroy pri-
Vate property. though the government
buildings might be dynamired He
also guaranteed the safety Of the two
bridges that span the
river at Eagle Pass. and finally ASSERT
ed that the most ample measures
would be taken to protect the lives
