ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

FL PASO, April 25.-Federal soldiers driven from Mexico by the insurrectos in Sonora, arrived tonight to be trans ported to Juarez, Mexico, again to en- ter the field against the constitution alists in Chihuahua. But, although the movement of two hundred and seven teen officers was permitted from Naco, Arizona, sudden orders from the war department prevented the crossing of the Mexicans to Juarez. A troop of cavalry was hurried from Fort Bliss and held the dsarmed soldiers, who arrived on a special train expecting to proceed directly over the line.
 Constitutionalist agents at Nogales, Arizona, and other points on the bor- der had protested to the governors of Texas New Mexico and Arizona and their senators at Washington, assert ing the federal refugees are being moved to Juarez which they said is threatener by an attack.
 The same objection was raised against the attempt of the Huerta gov ernment to send troops to Guaymas, now besieged The arms were taken from the refuges and soldiers and turned over to the Mexican consul at Naco, Arizona, to be shipped on bond to JuareZ.

 Brown moved for a reconsideration of the vote tomorrow and it is prob able the battle or similar one that occupied most of the day on the floor be fought. Both sides claim to have enough votes among today's absentees to make a majority. The bill not only eliminates gate receipts and purses but limits the boxing matches to four rounds of three minutes each with in- termissions of one minute but permits awards of medals.
 Brown explained the object is not to kill boxing as an athletic sport but to prevent slugging matches and decom-
 
 .ment of brutality will be eliminated.
 The opposition led by Senators Re- gan and Finn of San Francisco, the former stating he had been trained boxes and football player, found in his experience there is more danger to life and limb in football than fighting.

TRAVEL ID DAM THEN
 ENJOY BALL
Second Day of Reunion of Arizona Association is Marked With Two of the Most Pleasing Events on the Program
Special to The RepubIican.)

GLOBE, Ariz.. April 25.-Two of the principal events of the entire reunion of the Arizona Elks which began here yesterday, were in the program for to- day. The first was the trip by auto mobile to Roosevelt dam and the sec ond was the grand ball for the Eiks and their ladies in the auditorium this evening. Each affair exceeded in every way the expectations of those perfect ing the arrangements as well as of those participating.
 Early this morning practically all the visiting Elks were astir in antici- patton of the pleasing morning ride in prospect. To those who had never wis ited the dam the event promised to be of more than ordinary interest As the Phoenix Elks, for the most part, had come to Globe overland, with the dam as one of the stops in Wednesdays trip, these preferred to remain in Globe to- day or to make the trip over to Miami or points of interest in the vicinity.
 About nine o'clock twenty eight ma chimes, loaded to the gunwales" with Elks and their ladies and friends started from the Old Dominion Hotel on the forty mile ride. It was an exception- ally pleasant morning and the road was never in better condition by reason of the recent rain. It was a veritable old fashioned picnic party and many did not adhere to the regulations and return as per schedule, but remained absent practically the entire day.
 But the crowning event of the day came this evening when hundreds of Elks and their ladies entered into the full enjoyment of the grand ball given at the Auditorium under the auspices of the Globe Elks. Owing the mum Der to be accommodated it was neces- sary to restrict the attendance strictly to Elks and their ladies.
 The decorations were feature ot the affair, the colors of the Elks being blended prettily with American flags and bunting while plants and cut flow CTS gave life and color. The grand march was begun at nine o'clock and the ball was still in progress at mid night The music was of the best an6 there was not a marring incident.

CHICAGO, April 25.-'I shall go direct to Sacramento and will return to Washington as soon as 1 possibly can," said Secretary Bryan tonight as he boarded a train. T cannot fore cast how long my absence may be, but I hope it will be short. ought to be in Washington"
 Bryan nodded his head with en- phasis. and added: T hate to leave. Washington just now. I would not have done so had it not been neces- .sary. These are important days at the capital"
 Bryan declined to make statement in connection with the coming con- ferences with Governor Johnson and the California legislature.
 My mission" he said, in answer to question, 'as far as my memory goes, is without precedent We may create precedents in our conferences, but it would not do to speak of them in advance"
 That the secretary will have a hos pitable welcome in California was shown today in five invitations he received here by telegraph to address public bodies in San Francisco and Sacramento. The chamber of com. merce, the Commonwealth club, the Commercial club and the California Development board, all of San Fran cisco, telegraphed. asking him to ad- dress them. The chamber of com merce at Sacramento offered the use of a theater and asked for a public speech.
 Bryan said he had been obliged to decline the invitations from San Francisco, as there was no likelihood he would be able to speak there. There was more of chance he might speak at Sacramento. but he could not make the arrangement
 "I replied to the gentlemen at Sacramento that had. been despatch ed by the president to confer with the governor and legislature in their state," Bryan said, "and under those circumstances, while I appreciated the invitation. I did not deem it proper for me to make any speaking engage ments."
 Bryan added, that as the represen- tative of the president he had never doubted a cordial welcome from Cali forria The secretary is accompanied only by his secretary, Robert Rose. While in this city Bryan had brief conferences with Senator J. Hamil- ton Lewis. William l.. O'Connell, Gov ernor Deneen's representative; Mayor Harrison and several other demo- cratic leaders.

Secretary of State Expects to Present President s Views on Alien Land Legislation and Be in Washington May '
CHINA COMING
 INTO CONTROVERSY
For the Present She is Keeping Quiet, but Lega ton Seems to Be EX- pecting Instructions from Peking
TAssoCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secre- tary Bryan is not expected to spend more than a week in Sacramento con- ferring with Governor Johnson and the legislators over the proposed alien land laws. From semi official sources today it is said Bryan is ex- pected to present the views of the president and do all possible to re- move friction between the United States and Japan over that particular legislation and the time for him to be back at Washington is May '.
 In official circles today it was sug- gested the energy with which Japan protested against the enactment of the pending alien land holding legisla- tion of California served to obscure the fact that many Chinese will be affected though not in proportion to the Japanese residents.
 The Chinese legation here, though noting the facts, refrained from lodg- ing a protest with the state depart ment and while awaiting instructions from Peking as well as the issue of negotiations between America and Japan regarding the question of alien land ownership. It is apparent how ever, the situation is viewed with deep concern developing as it has at the very moment when the United States is about to encourage the Chinese people by extending recogni- tion to the infant democracy.
 Specific treaty guarantees are. point ed out that probably will give Japan csc property owners the decided ad- vantage over Chinese protecting rights in the event of discriminatory legisla- ton. The number of Chinese in Cal ifornia is said to be very much small CT than commonly supposed. Accord ing to the report of the immigration commission owing to the stoppage of immigration and return of many Chi nese to their own country and mil grafton of many others in California to the eastern part of the United States, their number in the west has decreased materially in the last de- cade Even in nineteen hundred there were only SO0O0 Chinese in the whole continental United States about 10000 of whom resided in California.

Troops May Travel.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-While President Wilson and his cabinet were in session today. Senator Smith of Ari- zona sent telegram to the cabinet room which told of the request of the Huerta government to have eight hund- red federals, who escaped to the Amer ican side at Nogales after the battle at Naco transported through Arizona to Fl Paso that they might recross into federal territory at JuareZ. Smith de- clared he considered the giving to such permission would be aiding the Huerta government and that the movements of troops from either side in the Mexi- can revolt should not be permitted through American territory.
 The cabinet however, decided to al- low the precedent established by the Taft administration permitting troops to travel through American territory unarmed as civilians.
