ATTEMPT TO RUSH
FEDERALS into
mexico
FOUR TROOPS CAVALRY CALLED
OUT TO PREVENT VIOLATION
NEUTRALITY LAWS.
RECRUITED BY HUERTA'S AGENTS
Villa Is Said To Have Had Knowledge
ing soIdiers-SeveraI Fell Into The
Rebels Hands.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 12-An attempt
to rush Mexicans recruited in this
city by Huerta's agents across tho
river last night brought out four
troops of the Fifteenth cavalry to pre-
cent the violation of neutrality.
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, in comamnd of
Fort Bliss, has been on the alert on
account of the rumors of plot to
place a fanking force on the rebels
left at Juarez by making rush from
this side and his men were in the
saddle almost the instant the news
came that the Mexicans were rushing
down the river bank on the American
side in automobiles.
The attempt was about II o'clock
and the news reached Gen. Scott in
telephone messages asking the mean
ing of tn rush of automobiles that
way Five miles east, at Smiths
dairy farm, an observer estimated the
number of machines at thirty. The
machines were loaded with men,
those who telephoned said, all armed
with rifles and there were boxes which
1t was assumed contained ammunition
in addition to that in the belts of the
men.
At Ysleta, the American troops con-
centrated and trace of the motor cars,
temporarily at least, was lost Mean
while word came from Juarez that the
rebels, who had information through
their secret agents that the attempt
would be made, had captured some OF
the would-be federals and were bring
ing the prisoners back to headquar-
ters. One of Villas aides said the
general knew that an attempt would
be made and was adverse to the
knowledge reaching Gen. Scott as the
rebels preferred to ambush the fed
erals as they waded from the river.
A detachment of troops also was
sent west to the smelter where there
is an easy ford of the river.
Other detachments went to Wash
ington Park, Clint and Fabens, all on
the Ysleta road. Horses are said to
have been waiting for the recruits
since Sunday hidden on the Mexican
side. Saddles packed in barrels are
believed to have been spirited across
from the American side.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 12.-Sev-
en- farmers, two statesmen, banker, a
broker and groceryman were accept
ed Wednesday as the jury to deter
mine the suit instituted by Mrs. Min
ME E. Bond against United States
Senator T. P. Gore, who charges that
the Oklahoma senator attacked her
while she was a guest at a Washing
ton hotel and asks $4,000 in damages.
Before court adjourned for the day,
both sides had outlined their conten-
tions and Judge Clark, who will pre-
side at the trial, defined the scope of
evidence to be permitted. The TAX
ing of testimony began today.
In his ruling Judge Clark held that
the past life of neither the plaintiff
nor the defendant was vital to the
case although testimony may be pre-
sented to establish the general reputa-
tion of either. 1t is stated that under
this ruling mass of dispositions will
be excluded.
Ross Lillard made the opening
statement for the plaintiff. He de-
clared that witnesses would testify
that Senator Gore attacked Mrs. Bond
when she attempted to pass him in a
room in which they met at the sena-
tors suggestion to discuss the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Bonds husband,
Julian Bond, to a Federal position and
that in her struggles to free herself
Mrs. Bonds eye glasses were broken.
On the following day the attorney
asserted, friends of Senator Gore en-
deavored to have the matter hushed
up and the woman to leave Washing
ton.
G. B. Cruce, brother of Gov. Cruce,
of Oklahoma, as spokesman for the
defense, asserted that the senator met
Mrs. Bond in the lobby of her hotel at
her suggestion to discuss the possibil-
ity of the appointment of her husband
and that at Mrs. Bonds initiative they
went to the room in question SO they
could converse without interruption; /;
that during the conversation Mrs.
Bond seized the senator and that he
freed himself and left the room.
Several days later, according to Mr..
Cruce, Mrs. Bond made complaint to
the District Attorney at Washington
but that official refused to take action.

jackson, Miss, Feb. IA rough
and-tumble-fight on the floor of the
house between Messrs. Evans, of
Leake, and Nicholson. of Washington,
was averted this morning only through
the prompt interference of other mem
bers when the two irate members had
thir fists clinchd and ready for com
bat
In accordance with his promise of
one week ago that if report was not
made by the special legislative inves-
tigating committee within week he
would ask for the dismissal of that
body, Mr.. Nicholson onereu somr-
what caustic resolution to this effect,
which brought Mr.. Evans, a member
of the committee, to his feet with a
sharp rejoinder. Mr. Evans said he
had heard charged that the committee
was holding back its report for politi-
cal purposes, and he wanted to brand
this as falsehOod.
Within a moment Nicholson was at
his side and demanded to know if this
was intended as personal, declaring
that he had never said that he regard
ed the delay of the committee as
promptd by political motives, but he
now thinks so.
Both members were just on the
verge of exchanging blows when col
leagues interfered. Mr.. Sheffield de-
manded that if thy had a personal diff
ficulty to settle they ought to go out
side and do SO.

HOME RULE FOR
IRELAND DEBATE
AMENDMENT TO REPLY TO
SPEECH FROM THRONE oecI-
SlvELY DEFEATED.

London, Feb. 12.-Home rule for Ire
land again was the subject of para
mount interest in the House of Com
mons Wednesday. Sir Edward Carson,
Ulster Unionist leader; David Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the Exchequer;
Sir John Simon, .Attorney-general
John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalist, and Andrew Bonar Law,
leader of the oposition, all made fer
vent speeches, and at the conclusion
of the debate the amendment to the
reply of the speech from the throne,
moved Tuesday by the Unionist, Wal
ter Hume Long, that it would be
disastrous for the House to proceed
further with the government for Ire
land bill until the measure had been
submitted to the Judgment of the
country" was defeated by a vote OF
333 to 255.
The result of the vote was received
with loud opposition cheers and shouts
of "Resign!"
John Redmond appeared anxious to
meet the question from a broad view
point, with an earnest desire for a
peaceful settlement. Mr.. Bonar Law
predicted civil war the moment home
rule passed, but urged that the dan
ger of civil war could be averted by
leaving Ulster out of the home rule
bill, or by submitting the bill to the
people.
If ever any people in the history Of
the world had the right to resist by
force the imposition of a form of gov
ernment they detested, said the op
position leader, the men of Ulster had
that right. In two ways could the dan
ger of civil war be averted-by leav
ing Ulster out of the home rule bill OF
by submitting the bill to the judgment
of the people.
David Lloyd George, Chancellor O
the Exechequer, said the next ST,
weeks might see complete change il
the situation. When Parliament il
sitting and men are meeting face t,
face, something might well issu,
which would make settlement mucl
easier, he said.
The government is prepared, sal,
the Chancellor, to go to the extrem
of concession compatible with tn
principles of the bill, but could no
betray the majority of Irishmen VIII
had put their trust in it.
Lord Charles Beresford, addressin
the Ulster Association of London las
night, said:
IF the imperial forces are ordere
to fire on the Ulstermen, they mus
obey. But | decline to believe this
the government will go to that e,
treme to force home rule on Irelan,
! If the government does it will be tn
first step toward the Generalization
