mentary tactics to win. In the course of the fight against the rules which has been endorsed by the President, speeches for and against free tolls will be made.
 The call has been sent to absentees, of whom there are more than 150, to return for the contest. Record roll call votes are to be demanded by MT. Mann on every point involved ill the controversy. This will include de- mand on President Wilson to make public the matters of delicate intl.' national import on which he asked the House to vote to repeal the free tolls law.
 In the uncertainty as to the out come and the restlessness of the members over the seriousness of the political issues involved, all general committee work has been suspended. Most committees scheduled to meet today failed to secure quorum. In close districts many members feel that their political existance may depend upon their stand on the tolls ques- tion.
 Republican and Progressive leaders are prepared to make politica. capital of the Democratic fight. Representative Austin, of Tennessee, Republican and Representative Victor Murdock, of Kansas, said:
 ''It is the critical period of the Wilson administration" Most Re- publicans and all Progressives are opposing the repeal.

HUERTA FLOATS LOAN
 FOR SUM OF $25, 900, 900
Report Comes to State Department
 From Charge O'ShaughRessy.

Washington, March 25.-President Huerta has succeeded in his negotia- tions for a loan of $25,000,000 in gold. according to dispatches from Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy, at Mexico City, received today by Secretary of State Bryan.
 That the State Department is not exercised over the reported loan is accepted as proof that it is not oppos- ing it. The fear of this government of foreign loans to Huerta is that such loans would carry territorial and other concessions by Mexico in imical to the interests of this coun- try.
 Mr. O'Shaughnessy reported to Sec retary Bryan that two American citi- zens, Goldsmith and Donahue; were held in Mexico City on conspiracy charges. He is looking after their in -terests. Another American citizen, ,,yrd, in jail, is to be taken to Mexico uty for trial. '.

Women and Children
 Flee From Federals
Reach Douglas, Arizona, from Nearby
 Mining Districts, Reporting Much LOOting.

Douglas, Ariz., March 25.-The ap- pearance today in the Nachazari and El Tigre mining districts of two bands of federal filibusters, caused an exodus to Douglas of the American women and children living in the two districts.
 The ranches of M. M. Sherman and Marion Williams, Americans, near Nachazari, were footed. The town of Bacuachi was raided and several buildings burned and other depreda- tions committed.
 Federais here say it is the ultimate purpose of the filibusters to destroy the Nachazari railroad and thus iso- late the rich mining camps. In an- ticipation of this the railroad and mining companies are rushing sup plies to withstand a siege of the camps. The Constitutionalists are also sending troops to try to surround the merauders.

State Physician Proves
 Adept at Hog Raising
Dr. J.. l.. Green Has Saved Much For
 Arkansas On Comparatively Small Investment.

Little Rock, March 25.-The State eSf Arkansas is just $1,52S.06 ahead because Dr. J. l.. Greene of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases is a hog raiser, and in the two years he has been in the game the profit would have been more than doubled but for bad management on the part of a stockman in charge last spring. All this was done on an investment of $1,637.S5.
 ST%6 years ago Dr. Greene impress ed the State Board of Charities with the loss the institution was sustain ing through the sale of the slop from the state hospital, and advised the purchase of hogs, and good ones. The Board accordingly purchased 30 sows and one boar, paying for them $1 ,637,- S5. Almost immediately cholera at tackled the hogs and one third of the sows succumbed before the serum with which the herd was innoculated
 
 \ disease were checked, and such sys- tenn has since been followed that the pigs are immune, and no more have been lost. Every expense in keeping the hogs, the slop which is fed them, with the cost of erecting the build ings and the men who care for the stock, amounts to $4,121,6S in the two years.
 The state has derived, through the sale of hogs and of pork to the insti- tuition, it being charged at the market price, $2,616.19. It still has 1O4 on hand, with prospects for a material increase in the spring. The hospital nossesses two fthe finest Berkshire Soars in the world, and they are valued at $500 each. One was pur- chased for $200 when but pig.
 The finest of the young boars are sold by the state to farmers who de- sire them, the price for this register ed stock being $25. There is one young boar, now only about four months old, that Dr. Greene expects to be worth $1,O00 by the time he is a year If age, and he will not be sold at any price, being worth too much to the states breeding pen.
 A careless stock tender caused the state to lose all of the young which were expected last spring, so pr. Greene figures he is only chargeable for a year in the development of the states herd.

FIERCE RIFLE FIRE

Fl Paso. March 25.-A fierce bom- bardment of Torrean and Gomez Palacio was begun by Gen Villas artillery, commanded by Gen. Felipe Angeles and Col. Martinano Servin early this morning and continued throughout the day. This report has been given to the press from Gen. Manuel Chaos headquarters in Juarez. The information is based on
 official advices received from Gen. Villa filed at Fl Virgel five miles north of Gomez-Palacio, which Juarez officials say is the Constitutionalist base.
 Constitutionalist officials declare the rebels now occupy Torraon and a portion, if not all of Palacio, while Villas troops still possess Verdo Whether Villa was driven from Gomez-Palacio which in official dis patches Monday night, to have been occupied by the rebels, in the first charge in the opening of the Torreon struggle, is not known by Juarez of ficials, as they explain that the in formation conveyed in the official dis patches is meagre. They further eX- plained that they never have known whether Villas army occupied the whole of Gomez-Palacieo or only a portion of the city ..
 Added to the message received to- day at Juarez, was the information that Gen. Villas calvary and infantry were operating along with Gen. Algeles' batteries and that fierce rifle fire was being poured into Tor reon and Gomez-Palacio from all sides by Villas troops. Official mes sages stated that the few Federal strongholds were completely sur- rounded.
 The telegraph lines which on Tues day operating to GimeZPalacio was only in communication with El Virgel today.

Details of International Contenders Are Being
 Kept Dark Secret.
FASTEST FOR TANKS
Boat That Proves Best of Three Will Be One to Go Against One Being
 Constructed by Lipton.
(By FRANK G. MENKE)

New York, March 25.-The gentle man who coined the expression. "shrouded in mystery must have had in mind the present day and age when four yachts are being built for international racing purposes. and the details of their construction are about as hard to obtain as the con- viction of crooked bank president.
 Tom Lipton, who is partly resporsi- ble for the tango teas, is building a yacht in England which he hopes will lift the cup that Uncle Sam has guarded for so many years. Tom has hired an army of detectives to loiter around the boat house both day and night, to prevent any person from peeking through the knot holes and getting a look at the skiff that is costing him the profit on millions of pounds of tea.
 The conditions are but little differ ent here. Three yachts are in process of construction. The one that shows it's stern to all the other in the elimination races to be run this sum- mer will be the one selected to grap- pie with Tommy's boat in September.
 But no details of the yachts are available. Of course, from time to time come rumors that this yach will have this and that yacht will have that, but outside of these vague rumors nothing is known about the yachts. And nothing will be known until the carefully guarded boats slip into the water as part of the launch ing ceremonies and curios America will have a chance to give them the once over-through field glasses.
 James Braid, the golf instructor, is saddened by the fact that golfers will not practice.
 Despite the injunction of their teachers, golfers, when they cannot find an opponent, will not go around the course alone to perfect their game but, instead, will seek out a poker or bridge game. It's a shame!" "S'mat- ter, Jimmy? Have you been playing cards with those fellows"
 "The present day heavyWeights do not know what to do when they are punched" remarked Jas. J. Corbett the well known actor. But James J. has foozled. The fact is that the pres ent day gang knew only too we'll what to do when hit-they flop to the mat.
