BANDIT BUNDLES MESSENGER IN SACK
 AND LOOPS
Texas Train RObber Makes Escape With $14,O00. Makes Haul In Broad
 Open Day

Beaumont, Tex, March 1S.-After bum ding the messenger "Reb' Martin into gunnysack a masked man today robbed the express car attached to northbound Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe passenger train No. 202 of several packages of cur rency, and estimated to aggregate be- tween $l5,000 and $20.000. and escaped from the train at the village of Helbig, 12 miles north of Beaumont.
 Villaga, G. A. Taft, general supern- dent of tie Wells Fargo Express com pany, tonight estimated the amount stolen at $14,0oo. The money was part of shipment made by a Houston lum- Der concern to be used in paying their employees at camps along the road. Ex- blaming earlier estimates which placed the amount secured in excess of that figure, Mr Taft stated that all of the lumber co;npany's consignment was not sent aboard the robbed train. Previous estimates were based on statements of officials of the lumber company.
 Forced Into Sack
 According to Martin the man. apparent ly middle aged. appeared from behind n pile of freight shortly after the train left Beaumont. When he turned to the com mand of throw up your hands" Martin says the man ordered him to turn over his keys which the robber emphasized with flourish of his revolver. Martin obeyed and was then bound and forced into the sack.
 That was all Martin says he saw or heard until the conductor and others of the train crew forced an entrance of the car, the robber having locked the car door before leaping from the train and released him 1t the town of Silsbee. several miles north of Ielbg. The sus- picions of the train crew were aroused when the messenger did not come from the car at Silsbee.
 The train was bound from Houston to Center, Tex, and it Is believed that the man secreted himself in the express car before the train left Houston this morn- ing. The section through which the rain was passing at the time of the robbery is heavily wooded and sparsely settled.

DEFEAT OF SUFFRAGE MEASURE IS ALMOST SURE, SAYS ASHURST
Sentiment Apparently Favors Imme- diate Action On Pending Resolu-
 tions-Little Delay Expected

Washington, March 16.-"The con- sensus os opinion in the Senate" said Senator Ashrust tonight 'is that we should vote right away on the reso- lution for a constitutional amendment to extend suffrage to women. I think there will be little more delay in the matter.
 The resolution. temporarily laid aside today, will come up again tomorrow as unfinished business, and despite ap- peals Of many suffragists for post ponemen. of vote until May, an effort will be made to reach vote at least before tho end of this week with defeat of the measure apparently a certainty.
 Senate" Ashurst, who has charge of the resolution on the floor, has can vassed the Senate and finds a great majority in favor of disposing of the resolution as soon as possible.
 A final protest against immediate ac- ton was made today by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Congressional Union foi Woman Suffrage, in letters addressed to Senators Ashurst, Thomas and Chamberlain, leading advocates of the bill.
 "If you and other democratic lead CTS in charge of the measure, she wrote, force it to vote at a moment when you have announced that it's defeat is certain, the suffragists of the country must necessarily hold you responsible for the failure of the bill"
 Another effort to secure favorable consideration for suffrage Legislation in the House will be made Tuesday. This time the suffragists and the anti-suf- fargiszs will present their arguments to the House elections committe on a bill of Representative French of Idaho, which would give women the right to vote for members of Congress Chairman Fucker of the committee today engaged the largest hearing room in the office building for the occasion.

 City and county officials of Sacramento were in a quandary tonight. Leaders of the unemployed boasted that they would provide quarters for 1000 men on the acre of ground and detied the authorities to prevent the assembly of the army. The arrival at the camp of provisions by the wagon lead from Sacramento indicated that they had received ample financial backing to keep them for sometime.
 It was believe here that the coupe exc cuted today explained the readiness of the on-to-W Washington force to disperse when ordered by the sheriff of Yolo county to vacate it's camp on the bank of the sacra- mento river.

TWO COMMITTEES
 AFTER MEASURE
Vote As to Which Shall Consider Resolution May Form First Test of Strength--Jones States
 Opinion

washington, March 1s.-Preliminary s1kirmishes on the Panama canal tolls controversy will occupy the Senate to- morrow as the result of an effort made today by Senator Jones of Washington to have passed his resolution. calling upon what foreign governments have protested against toll exemption for American coastwise ships, and for correspondence between the United States and foreign powers relating thereto.
 That supporters of President Wilson's s plea for repeal of the exemption pro- vision of the canal act will oppose pass age of the resolution was indicated today. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia moved that the Jones resolution be referred to the foreign relations committee, declaring slider a resolution calling for informa- tion relating to foreign affairs.
 A New Issue
 Senator Brlstow of Kansas, who is op- posed to repeal of toll exemption, urged that the resolution be referred to the committee on interoceanic canals, of which Senator O'Gorman of New York is chairman. Opponents of the repeal, of whom Senator O'Gorman Is the leader. be- j 1eve that the canals committee would give a favorable report on the Jones res olution, and that the committee on foreign relations would pigeon-hole it. Upon this issue the Senate may be forced to vote to- morrow. That such vote could not strictly be considered as test on the re- peal issue, however, Is maintained by some of the senators, because some might vote in favor of a request for more infor- nation who would not vote against repeal on the final roll call.
 Senator OGorrnan will return to Wash ington tomorrow from New York, and fconferences with democratic leaders have been scheduled for the purpose of induc- ing the chairman of the canals committee to take up at once the repeal bill intro- duced by Senator Owen. Several mem- bers of the committee said tonight Senator O'Gorman had yno intention of attempting to delay consideration of the, matter, and that he would call a meeting of the com. i1ifttee in advance of action on the ispeal In the House.
 V Says Bill Is Bribe
 In urging his resolution today Senator Jones charged that exemption repeal was the price to be paid by the United States for non-interference in Mexico by foreign powers, and that President Wilson's plea to Congress for repeal followed negotia- tions with Great Britain whereby that na- ton had agreed to support the principles of the Monroe doctrine. The Washington senator assailed the views of the Presi- dent in the matter declaring that to re- verse the policy of the government would be 'humiiating. cowardly, craven ac- ton"
