Gpited Press Leased Wire Servico-l
WASHINGTON, D. c., April l.
PRESIDENT Wilson had his first expert
ence with the anti-bellum rules Of the
senate today. Taking up in person
With Senator's Kern. James and the
otber administration leaders in the up
per house the question of expediting
the tolls repeal bill he was told that
this was impossible. Red tape and
hoary precedent against cloture rules
prevented prompt action there. The
president was frankly told that the
repeal bill cannot be forced to vote
lin less than four to six weeks.
The house Of representatives last
night, after one Of the most spectacu-
lar legislative struggles in the history
of the nation, voted to repeal the pro-
vision Of the Panama canal act exempt
ing American vessels from the pay
ment OF tolls. The vote on the repeal
|biH was PAT to 161, a majority Of Sc
votes in support of the personal plea
|of Woodrow Wilson. president Of the
limited States~s@ ass
This verdict on the issue which has
absorbed congress for many weeks
cane at the close of q ;tirT'ng day,
made memorable in the annals of the
house by party division which found
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority Leader
Underwood and others in open opposi-
| ton to the president on an issue which
the latter had declared vital to his
conduct of the nations foreign policy.
Convinced by the sweeping nature
OF his victory in the house that he has
the backing Of his party as whole,
the president was desirous today Of
rushing the bill through the serate SO
that the breaches in the democratic
lineup might be promptly repaired.
But the senators with whom he con-
suited told him there was no way OF
hurrying the upper house. They will
do their best privately to urge mem.
on the ground that to do SO WILL aid
the early adjournment every one is SO
earnestly hoping for. But not a. single
leader would venture a guess today as
to when this would be possible.
It is admitted that certain senators
hope to make political capital for the
campaign of 1916 out Of the bill. This
is especially SO Of Borah and La Fol-
lette Both will make lengthy set
speeches against the Sims bill and both
arc past masters in the art Of parlia-

ate.
1t was admitted at the white house
that the president realized this and
ne will personally rally his forces for
the fight in the senate. He does not
look for the bitterness there that he
experienced in the house. Compare
lively few OF the democratic senators
will make fight against the president.
oGorman OF New York will be the
leader. Chamberlain OF Oregon;
Walsh OF Montana and varnaman of
Mississippi, will openly assist him and
there are other democratic senators
who may aid.

Not All One Sided.

JUAREZ. Mex, April THAT the
occupation Of Torreon by the Mexican
constitutfonalist troops under General
Francisco Villa is being seriously
menac cd, was the word brought here
today in unofficial dispatches from
Torreon to General Venustiano Car
r. "a and other chiefs OF the resolu-
:-on. Advancing on the city from the
east is a column Of federals said to
be mum arous, but by whom commando
ed is not known. To intercept and
disperse this force. Villa today sent
his Morlos brigade. commanded by
General Tomas Urbina and General
Maclovios Beredas RI srras brigade
numbering in all $500 men. Urhina
set out for San Pedro anG' Herras for
another point. 1t Is suppressed the fed
eral reinforcemcnts are those ordered
from Saltillo and Monterey recently
bv General Huerta under command of
General De MOure.
Although General Villa late yester-
day afternoon telegraphed rebel CHI
cials here that Torreon had fallen and
that his troops were in possession OF
the city, not another word has come
from him. Some rebel officers ex-
press the opinion that Villas au-
nouncem ant may have been prema-
ture and that the resistance Of Cen
eral Jose Refugio Velasco's federal
garrison has not yet been entirely
ov arcome. No one doubts, however,
that the constitutionalist control Will
be complete very soon if 1t is not
complete already. There is feeling
among rebels here that the Torr eon
battle will constitute the principal
fighting of the whole Mexican revolu-
tion and when Villa has once swepc
the country about that city clean OF
f2derals. his march to the south Will
not be seriously opposed until he ap-
proaches close to Mexico City itself.
