RULES OF SENATE
NINE MEMBERS or SENATE De.
DECLARE THEY WILL DEFY
RULES IN FUTURE.
Decision Follows the Confirmation OF
Daniels as Commerce Commission
Member, oeeocrats Being Aeeus-
ed Of Acting in Bad Faith.

Washington.-Nine members of the
senate, headed by Senator La Fol
lette. openly revolted against proceed.
ings behind closed doors Friday night
after an executive session in which
the senate, by vote Of SO to 81. cen
firmed the nomination of Winthrop M.

Der of the interstate commerce com
mission.
Senator La Toilette asserted thar
he proposed to defy the rules of the
senate in the future and discuss pub
licly legislation not affecting foreign
relations. and later 1t was announce /
that Senators Bristow, Cummins.
Clapp, Kenyon, Norris, Jones and
Gronna, Republicans. and PoindeMer,
Progressive, would maintain the same
attitude.
The OPPOSITION was nettled by the
patching up of the split in the Demo

lighting confirmation had consented
to postponement of a vote when vic
tory apparently was in sight in or.
der to allow Democratic senators to
talk with the president about with.
drawing Mr.. Daniels name after the
nomination had been recommitted.
They denounced the determination OF
Democratic leaders, after a visit ia
the White House. to force a vote on
confirmation as little short OF bad
faith.
The revolt created a sensation. and
there was much speculation as to the
effect it would have upon future ex
ecutive sessions. The general opinion
was that there would be no attempt
to take action against members who
disregard the rule of secrecy

ORGANIZE BANKS BY
CROP MOVING TIME
PLAN TO PUT NEW CURRENCY
SYSTEM IN OPERATION DUR
ING SUMMER MONTHS.
It is Hoped to Demonstrate How Eas-
lily the Reserve System viii Take
Care Of Situation Which Has
Caused Financial Worry.

Washington.-Ev effort will be
exerted by the federal reserve bank
organization committee to have all
banks expedite the formal steps
necessary to put the new currency
system in operation.
Members of the committee appar.
emily have no expectation that there
will be any financial crisis to face re-
curing the assistance to banks which
the reserve system will provide, but
they are anxious to have the twelve
reserve banks in the field by crop
moving time next fall. They hope to
be able to demonstrate how easily
and quickly the reserve system will
take care of situation which in pre-.
vious years has caused financial worS
ry and which last fall led to direct
loans from the United States treasury
to national banks in the farming re-
gions.
The committee has worked at full
speed on its part of the preliminary
work, and Tuesday the formal notice
was sent to the 7,548 banks which
ask entrance to the system, of the To-
cation of reserve banks and the limits
Of reserve districts. With the notices
will go blanks on which banks must
apply for subscriptions for stock in
the respective reserve banks. Thirty
days are allowed for banks to make
the first payment of the required 6
per cent of their capital and surplus.
President Wilson probably will
name the five members Of the federal
reserve board he is entitled to ap-
point by the time the banks and the
reserve bank charters have been
granted to them. The reserve board
will name three directors of each re-
serve bank, and with this task per.
formed the banks will be ready to
operate.

CITY SCATTERED WITH BLOOD
Dead Men and Horses piled High Ii
streets Of Torreon.

OSau MSU anu 1oFSeS Pileu High in
Streets Of Torreon.
Chihuahua dispatch from an
italian army officer with the rebel ar
tillery was received Sunday afternoon
from Torreon, It says:
Dead horses and dead men are
piled high in the streets and plaza
and the ruins of the city are spat-
tered with blood. 1t is impossible
to estimate the number of federal
dead. but superficial inspection of pub
lie places would indicate that no less
than 1000 bodies are scattered about.
1t will be task to get rid of the
dead, but a gigantic funeral pyre
probably will be built and the bodies
of men and animals incinerated.
Among the dead are some of the
picked rurales who fought against
Zapata in the south and were sent
north to attempt to check Villas vic

SPANIARDS DRIVEN
OUT BY GEN. VILLA
SIX HUNDRED RESIDENTS or TOR
REoN ORDERED TO LEAVE
COUNTRY AT ONCE.
Their Property to be confiscated BY
Rebel Leader, Who Believes That
spanlards are Working Against
the Rebel Cause.

7Torreon.-Gen. Francisco Villa has
ordered that the 900 Spaniards of this
city be deported. He issued instruc.
tions that trains be provided at once
and that the exodus to Ell Paso, Tex,
should begin at once Their property
will be confiscated temporarily at
least
It is the tragedy of chihuahua over
again, and is said to express the deep
rooted suspicion and even hatred with
which the native Mexican, and partic-
ularly the peon, looks upon the Span
lard.
Villa expelled the Dons from Chi
huahua four months ago and since
then has repeatedly stated that other
Spaniards would better get out of
Mexico before he caught them. His
abiding conviction that they were
working as one man against the revo-
luton found frequent expression
while he was in Juarez, at which
time he asserted he would execute
every one that he found in Torreon.
The Spanish government was
aroused and Washington, with its
watchful waiting policy, based partly
on the expectation of a humane prose
cution of the instruction, descended
on the constitutionalist chiefs with
words of warning admonition.
Reluctantly Villa promised that
Spaniards innocent of political activity
should not be harmed This was Of
fetal, but in talking with reporters
and friends his temper frequently be-
trayed him into the most tragic
threats 1t was plain to those con
stantly associated with the rebel
leader that he did not expect to find
many Spaniards who would deserve
his clemency.
Their expulsion is taken to indicate
chat all are to be held guilty until
innocence is proved. Villa promised
that he would investigate closely the
conducted of each Spaniard and that
in due course those found to have
lent no aid to the enemy would be
allowed to return.
