Washington, Feb. 3.-By vote Of
2O3 to 81 the House today refused
to make any declaration on the Ash
attic, exclusion policy aimed at Japan.
This stand was taken on the Hayes
amendment to the Burnett Dillingham;
immigration bill, which was defeat
ed, despite it's teeth being drawn in a
modification introduced last night by
Lenroot of Wilson. Party lines were
disregarded in the vote.
True to his promise, Raker of Cali
fornia introduced his anti-Japanese
amendment as a substitute to the
HAYES amendment. 1t was defeated,
1872 to 6.
House leaders now believe the Bur-
nett bill will be rushed through. A
vote on the literacy test is expected
tonight. In the debate today lead
ers of both parties pleaded against
embarrassing the President and the
Secretary of State in negotiations
with Japan. Mann appealed to the
patriotism of congressman, saying the
passage of the amendment would in
ject further difficulties into the cal
ready delicate Japanese situation"
Burnett argued that all Japanese
questions should be settled by ne
gotiations by the Secretary of State.
He said: "If not, my committee will
report out bill which will. / think
Mr.. Hayes of California is trying
to make cheap political capital
through his amendment" Hayes re-
sented this hotly.
Gardner of Massachusetts said the
language already in the bill, exclud-
ing laborers ineligible to naturaliza-
ton, was opposed by the State De-
partment and by foreign countries
to which it had been submitted He
declared everyone desired the exclu-
sion of Asiatics.
Harrison of Mississippi said he
feared the amendment would create
distress and anger in a friendly ma
ton.
Moore of Pennsylvania declared:
"The Japanese war is being fought
principally in headlines of Califor-
MIA newspapers. Bryan is opposed tc
the Raker bill. He doesn't want to
declare war upon Japan at the in
stance of the California papers. These
amendments would emparrass the ad-

Mexico City, Feb. 3.-Huerta's
overthrow is believed to be hourly
nearer. Good judges believe the reb-
els will be within the city in few
days. They are menacing the city
from both the east and north. The
garrison here is of doubtful loyalty.
Huerta is said to realize his posi-

offer of asylum at the American en-
bassy.
The picked Fifth regiment, the
flower of the federal force, is hur-

rebels there. A battle also is ex-

els win there and at Torreon the cap

Thaw himself appeared no more dis

into the arms of the New Hampshire
officers after being thrust across the

He was much pleased by telephone

Thaw has changed markedly. He re

White in 1906 he. has turned a deaf

TRAINS DELAYED BY

The trains are beginning to show the
effects eff he-incfeased traffic. and most
of them are from few minutes TO an

from the south this morning was over
an hour late Afternoon trains yester
day were all little late, and the
chances are strong that they viii be
later daily until after Christmas.
Much Of this delay is attributable
to the big increase in parcel post mat
ter, the mail cars being crowded with
sacks containing this class of mail. Be
sides the express companies have a ire
mendous amount of matter TO load and
