CONFLICTING REPORTS ARE
RECEIVED ABOUT FIGrn

Juarez, Mex, March q. - Out 4
the mass of rumors and unconfrmed
reports of the result of the fighting
around Gomez Palacio received here
yesterday and early today no reliable
information could be CLEANED.
From federal sources came the
news that General villa had been
beaten; from r6oel sources came the
declaration of victory for the consti-
tutionalists general and from whence,
lone knows came scores of other I'M
confirmed reports.
One brief message came from Villa
himself. 1t contained a command for
speedy shipment of the military
monoplane from Juarez and an order
that all equipment for rebuilding tho
railroad track be hurried south The
fact that the message was sent from
Gomez Palacio gave rise to the belief
that the rebel leader had captured
that suburb of Torreon and hope ran
higher among constitutionalists here.

MOTION TO LIMIT DEBATE TO 20
HOURS is PASSED BY VOTE OF
200 TO 172 IN THE HOUSE
UNDERWOOD AND CLARK
PRES. WILL FIGHT WILSON
Supporters of President Wilson's Pol
icy Predict Repeal of Exemption
By an Enormous Majority.

Washington, D. c., March q. -
President Wilson won the first battle
o: his fight to repeal the Panama
tolls exemption today when the house
by vote of 2O7 to 176 refused to
continue discussion on the rule to
limit to twenty hours the debate on
the Sims bill.
Party lines were eliminated in the
vote which was a round victory for
the administration leaders The bal
loting was preceded by an hour Of
Iimpassionsd speechmaking in which
Speaker Clark, Representative Under
vood, Representative Fitzgerald and
other democratic leaders voted against
the motion to cut off debate.
With the adoption of the resolution
to stop debate on the rule the next
question was upon the adoption of
the rule itself. Administration sup
porters were sure of its passage.
The special rule was then adopted
200 to 172. That put the Simms bill t0
repeal the exemption squarely before
the house for twenty hours debate and
protected against intervening motions
and amendments.
Flushed with victory, administra-
ton supporters predicted passage o.
the repeal bill by a heavy majority.
They declared many of those who had
voted against the previous ques-
tios," would be willing to vote for re-
peal itself
News of the vote was hurried 20
the white house.
Party Lines Forgotten.
Early today there was no visible
shift in the position of either sid ?.
Party lines have been broken, and
democrats, republicans and progres
sives divided into two camps under
banners proclaiming either for or

ATLANTA WILL ADMIT
WOMEN To MEMBER
SHIPS ON BOARDS

Atlanta, March 27.-Atlanta suffra
getes have scored the first big victory
in the South for women in politics. The
charter amendment committee of city
council has formally recommends d
that the city's laws BE- so changed that
women will have the right to serve on
four of the most important city boards.
The proposed change provides thai
five women may serve on the board Of
education, five on the health board, five
on the park board and five on the
library board.
The membership of each board will
total seventeen, including the mayor
and ex offcio members, so that the wo-
men will be in the minority, but in d
strong minority
The women are to be full members
with voting power the same as men.
They are to be elected by general coun
eli in the same way that board mar-
hers are now elected, and they are to
come from five districts formed by
grouping the various city wards.
The proposed charter amendment
will not only permit women to aid IN
the civic works directly affected by the
various boards on which they serve,
but will, it is predicted, give women a
strong and active influence in all the
City's political affairs

plete defeat of Villa and the consti-
tutionalist forces before Torreon was
reported to the Mexican embassy here
today in a dispatch from Senior Portillo

ly repulsed and driven back several
miles from their positions of vantage
The Mexican embassy today re-
ceived the following dispatch from
Mexican Consul Diebold at FL Paso:
"Rebels have been severely de-
feated at Torreon. A column of b
600 troops under General Moure have
left Saltillo, in a fianking movement to
reinforce the garrison. The rebels last
week also suffered a severe repulse at
Monclova, losing over 1000 men ds

Underwood Speaks.

While debate proceeded Majority
Leader Underwood was called to the
speakers desk. He and Mr.. CLARK
conferred, then he returned to his
seat smiling.
At this point Representative Camp
bell leading the fight on the rule for
the republicans, electrified the house
by yielding to Representative Under
wood.
Amid cheers of the house the ma
jority leader began:
Il am opposed to this bill and nat
urally l am opposed to a rule for it's
consideration. l regret that the bill
is before the house. / hope it will be
defeated.
But the president having laid this
important question before congress
believe it should be considered, but
considered in the proper way.
Il have always endeavored to sus-
tain my party's platform. l believe
this plank of the platform is righr.
Believing this, there is but one posi-
ton l can take, that is to sustain the
position expressed in my party's plat
form.
Il regret that l differ with the
president, and am compelled to differ
with my colleagues here, but say #
we are to make mistake in this mat
ter, let it be one mistake. let us not
turn our faces against the battery that
made democratic majority in the
house first possible. There are 50
democrats in the house today whose
seats would be occupied by republicans
if it were not for the democratic
fight in the 61st congress against the
power of cloture. We passed the ta-
riff law, the currency bill without
resorting to cloture.'
Arguing the right of the minority 10
be heard, he said he would agree to a
rule to make the bill in order.
With the bill thus before the
house, the gentleman in charge could
at any tine move the previous ques-
tion, and if he had majority with
him, could cut off debate.
But there is a most serious prob
lem involved in this question. You
are asked to record your judgment be-
fore you have heard the debate or seen
the amendments proposed.
You are making a serious mistake
If you adopt this rule and | would not
be worthy of the commission you havs
given me as your leader if did not
have the courage to tell you So" he
concluded, closing debate against the
rule.

KILLED CHAPMAN
niece DECLARES
ASSIGNING CAUSE
SAYS She KILLED UNCLE
Because of His Advances
Mystery Cleared

Calhoun, Ca, March 27.-After Mrs
Charles Chapman told the court that
she killed her uncle, Sidney Chapman.
because he was guilty of improper con
ruct toward her, Justice Fox, presiding
at her preliminary trial, here today
ordered the woman's immediate releac4
and she was restored to freedom.
Mrs. Chapman's confesson was no;
unexpected, as her lawyers had an
nounced that she probably would make
an important statement in connection
with the killing. Last Saturday morn
ing the body of Sidney Chapman was
found lying outside the door of Mrs
Lizzie Starnes' home.
Mrs. Starnes and her daughter, Mrs
Charles Chapman, were arrested as
suspects, and Charles Chapman later
vas taken into custody on the same
charge.
AT the preliminary hearing today
many witnesses were introduced by
the state, some of whom testified that
they had heard Mrs. Chapman threaten
the life of the dead man.
When the prosecution closed its
case late today, Mrs. Starnes was call
ed as first witness for the defense She
said that she knew nothing of the
killing. After a brief consultation by
attorneys for the defense Mrs. Charles
Chapman was introduced and made her
statement.
Tells Of the Killing.
Simply and directly she told her
story of how she shot her uncle.
"It was l who killed Sidney Chap
man." she said. q did it to defend my
honor and my good name He had pur
sued me and continually thrust his un-
welcome attentions on me. said
nothing to my mother because l knew
it would worry her.
"On Friday Sidney came to me and
threatened me. That night l loaded the
shotgun and set it at my bed. Between
3 and o'clock in the morning Sidney
woke me, threatened to kill me if
uttered a word. He told me to follow
him, and in the darkness l secured ttc
gun. Sidney went out the door and in
to the yard.
Il didn't follow and when he turned
to come back for me, shot him and he
fell dead, there outside the door"
AS Mrs Chapman finished, the spec
tators in the crowded court room
cheered. There was renewed applause
when Justice Fox ordered her restored
tc liberty. 1t was reported here to-
night that the matter probably will be
presented to the grand jury later.

ADMINISTRATION WINS FIRST
SKIRMISH IN TOLL FIGHT

against repeal.
Speaker Clarks vigorous statement
denouncing the rule received various
constructions.
There was no change in the senate
in the status of the repeal bill which
rests with the canal committee await
ing developments in the house.
Senator Chamberlain, leading re-
peal opponents in the senate, was
elated at the situation in the house.
4 was lonely when 1 started this
fight" he said, but We are gaining
strength every day. It's going to be
the old battle of '76 over again, tn :
tory element on one side, and the
masses of the people ON the other.
Some representatives expressed the
view that the struggle had assumed
the aspect of contest between the
president and Speaker Clark. 1t was
thought possibly the speaker might
take the floor and lead the fight 81
the rule, but it was considered prop
able that he would reserve his attack
fer the bill itself.
Galleries in the house began to fill
an hour before the house met. Mrs.
Clark took her seat in the spsakers
gallery.
An outburst of applause greeted
Speaker Clark, as he ascended the ros-
trum at noon With his gavel he still
