LINES DRAWN FOR OPENING OF FIGHT
 IN HOUSE TODAY
Opposing Forces Divided for First Skirmish in Tolls Exemption Battle-Are
 Many Complications

Washington, March 25.--Lincs were sharply drawn tonight for the opening of the most bitterly contested legisIn- tive struggle that hrs confronted Pres ident Wilson's ndministration-the fight to repeal the law giving Amer lean cOastwisc ships free passage through the Panama canal. Opposing forces divided for the first sisirmish in the conflict which will open when special rule Is preseated to the House tomorrow to limit debate on the repeal controversy.
 l For the first time since the democratic administration took charge of the gov ernment administration, leaders found n strong, resourceful and determined ele- ment within the party opposed to a policy which President Wilson personally had 1 espoused Personal convictions on the question almost have obllterated party 1 lines.
 1 This political situation, with the inter- l national character of the question in- volved, and the stress the President lias  | successful conduct of the administration s foreign policy, combined to make up q situation fraught with complications. Gaining Ground
 The Presidents supporters tonight de- clared they were gaining ground in the House. and one enthusiastic adminisrra- ton leader predicted the passage of the repeal bill by majority of nearly 100, The more conservative members of both sides, however. anticipate hard fought struggle. with a bitter and protracted de- bate followed by close vote
 1 Aligned against the President demand for the repeal are the three leaders of the parties in the House-R Representative un- derwood of the democrats, Representa- tive Mann of the republicans, and Repre-. sentative Murdoek of the progressivss.
 Wings of all three parties are behind
 these three leaders. On the other hand l9hatrmpn Adanson of the House Inter

 Representative Henry. chairman of tn, rules committee: Representative Stevens of Minnesota. and many other representa- lives of all three parties have accepted the Presidents position. ft generally was believed tonight that Majority Leader l Underwood and other democrats while speaking against the bill and voting against It, would not attempt to organ ize any extended opposition or resort 10 obstructive tactics to prevent the passage of the bill.
 Report Special Rule
 At noon tomorrow Chairman Henry will report a special rule, providing for 15 hours of general debate on the repeal
 bill, and allowing no opportunity for amending the measure. An attempt will | be made to fix four hours a limit of

MUCH DEPENDS ON POSITION OF
 SPEAKER CLARK
Actual Statistics Show Tolls Problem Dubious PropOsi- tiOn-LOss of Leadership

Nv c. E. STEWART


 Washington. March 25.--tspeciaID Tomorrow when the special rule for immediate consideration of the canal tolls repcn; measure Is brought in the House will kcgin one of the most spec tacuIar fights since the inauguration of President Wilson.
 The one topic of absorbing interest today in Washington Is canal tolls and the probable course Of Speaker Clark. House Leader Underwood outlined hls course from the beginning and the ad- ministration understands his position clearly and sympathizes with It. Speaker Clark, however. is not com mitted either for or against exemption so far as his vote is concerned. Strong pressure Is being brought to bear upon the speaker, who. it Is understood, fa- vors the exemption of coastwise yes sells from tolls to come out in opposi- tion to the administration, Is predicted here that unless the House passes re- peal by a substantial majority that the Senate will talk the measure to death' Opponents of the repeal believe that If Speaker Clark Is outspolxen in his opposition to the Sims measure that it will arouse sentiment among his large following in tho country and such | pressure will be brought to bear upon the Senate that that body will not pass the bill.
 Doubtful Proposition That what appeared to be absolute ce.tan victory for the President two or three weeks ago, has been changed into a doubtful proposition is now conceded. When the President first de- livered his message on the subject oo repeal for canal tolls, poll of the House disclosed the fact that he had d majority on his side of something lil<e 13o. A recent poll found only about 50 majority for the Presidents programme

Governor Will Press Suit

He did intimate, however, that the pub lication of the retraction would not make him withdraw his suit against the Journal for libel.
 He instructed his attorneys on the day of the publication of Lacy's charge to bring suit against that paper, and it Is understood from him that he is deter mined to push the case with vigor.
 In his speech at the Grand theatre Mon day night the governor denounced the Journal in bitter terms, declaring that Horace Hood, it's editor, was 'journalis- tic buccaneer."
 Since Lacy made his sensational charge against the governor hundreds of letters have been received by the executive from all parts of Alabama, all expressing their faith in the governor and denouncing Lacy's charge as hoth cltragcops aad ia. famous. Many Of the letters came from other states. In addition to these letters scores of telegrams nave been received, the governors desk for the past few days having been laden with communications from friends declaring allegiance to his cause. Many of the letters received have contained expressions of praise for his speech.
 The governor has been asked to deliver his speech on "Comer' in Birmingham next Wednesday night and ne has the matter under serious consideration. Friends in the Magic City have the matter in hand, and there is a strong probability that he will fill an engage ment in that city on April l.

 TOrreon Received in i 24 Hours
STILL FIGHTING AT
 GOMEZ PALACIO
Rebels Place Gloomy Construction on Failure to Hear of Results-TwO- Thirds of Villas Army Is
 Said to Be Engaged

Mexico City, March 25.-The war de- Pnrtment makes the claim that the rebels under Villa were routed at Tor rcon with great slaughter early to- day.
 Eight hundred men under General Joaquin Mans and General Javier de Moure, fi Is announced, arrived Oppor- tunely from saltiilo in time to add greatly to the federal victory. The rebeIs are said to be retreating north- ward with the fe,Ierals pounding at their rear.
 Chihunhun. Mex March 25.--No offi- cial sdvices from the south have been received in the last 24 hours. The latest then was that the Insurgents were still lighting outside Gemex PnIscio.
 The absence of messages Is not ex- plajncd.
 Fl Paso, Tex, March 25.--Meagre ad- vices from the front today were mixed in character, but out of the medley, schooled observers here said they drew the con NibSioii tiitt tlS itDtiS liitl dl Loii iSOti and Gomez Palacio an enemy in no wise inferior. and that their attack had been checked at the outset of the battle proper.
 Rebel officials at Juarez, as well as refugees in this city, say they place more reliance on dispatches from legitimate correspondents at the front than on so- called official dispatches One of the cor respondents today wired:
 Villa says wires will be open when he reaches Torreon."
 In the course of the day no other press d.spatch was received But thisA one, it was said, plainly carried the inference that the attack on Torreon only had begun.
 Rebel advices here today were that Villa was attacking the outskirts of Tor reon and that two-thirds of the rebel army, under the direct command of Gen esal Bepavides. was engaged.
 Unconfirmed ruInors had it that villa had executed 2co feAeal prisoners and that in one assault 59 federals were killed and POO wounded.
 Constitutionalist sympathizers place a gloomy construction in the failure of detailed newspaper dispatches to get through.
 Financial Situation Washington, March 25.-Whie interest in official circles here today centered on the bitter struggle now in progress between the contending Mexican factions for su- premacy at Torreon, there was some spec ulation as to the effect on the financial situation in Mexico of the temporary loan just obtained by General Huerta Charles 0'Shaughnessy in a report to Secretary Bryan. confirmed the news that a pre- liminary loan of 50,000000 pesos had been obtained It was pointed out that the resumption of interest payments on the foreign debt, suspended last January,
