TOWN SLEPT.
ON GUNS UPON
WILD RUMOR
Arizona Citizens Ready to
Repel a Reported
Villa Raid.
RY AssoCIATEp Press.

Naco, Ariz., March 14.-Naco was
under arms during the night as the
result of reports that raid on the
town was planned for the early morn
ing hours. Women, children and valu-
ables were hurried from the border by
Americans. Early today all was quiet.
Following reports last night that
Villa sympathizers at Cananea, Sono-
ra, were threatening trouble, the wires
between that town and the border
were cut.
The authorities here also were in
formed that several pieces of artil-
Iery were discovered hidden in a
house at Nogales, Sonora, and that
Mexican soldiers had been seen carry
ing what appeared to be ammunition
to the place.
In Naco the company of infantry
on duty was augmented by another
company from Bisbee. The patrols
were given instructions to "shoot to
kill" any one who refused to halt at
command.

Mariana People
Hear Candidates
In Joint Debate
spEc1AE ro rrE IouRNAI.

Mariana, Fla, March 14.-Before
a crowd of thousand voters and per
haps half that number of women
which filed every inch of space in
the spacious court room and gallery
of Jackson countys court house, Hon.
Nat. Bryan, United States senator,
and Hon. Park Trammell, governor,
last night presented their respective
claims for the office Of senator from
Florida.
The debate is one of a series which
began at Tallahassee on the night of
the 10th inst, and has included all
the West Florida cities since that
time.
Hon. Amos r. Lewis, member of
the state executive committee from
Jackson county, presided over the
meeting in an able and impartial man
ner.
The debate between Messrs. Tram
nell and Bryan did not include many,
if any, of the issues of the day, but
was merely contest based upon per-
sonalities, and had to do largely with
the public record and public utter
ances of each. Senator Bryan, as in
all other places where the debate has
been held, charged the governor with
plagiarism in his public speeches and
with nepotism in his public appoint
ments, reading comparative selections
from the utterances of Trammell al
various places and of Henry w
Grady Bob Taylor, and others, show
ing them to be almost identical, anc
pointing out that the governor has
given every one of his brothers a pub
lie position by appointment during his
term of office. Governor Trammel
replied in his best manner and II
good humor to the accusations, anc
in turn showed up what he claimed t.
be weak points in Bryan's public rec
ord.

House Passes Joint Resolu-
ton by a Vote of
236 to One.
BRING ARMY UP TO
ITS LIMIT OF 10000
This Preferred to Calling
for the National Guard
or Volunteers.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, March IA Joint
resolution, authorizing the president
to bring the regular army up to its
full strength by adding about twenty
thousand to the existing organiza-
tons, passed the house by vote of
two hundred and thirty-six to one to-
day. Representative Hay, chairman
of the military committee told the
house the administration recommends
ed this plan rather than call on the
state militia or for volunteers. The
action will bring the army to its limit
of one hundred and twenty thousand.
The resolution will be called up in
the senate tomorrow.
Hay introduced the resolution in the
house after a conference with Cham
berlain, chairman of the senate mill
tary committee and Secretary Baker.
representative London, Socialist, cast
the only dissenting vote.
While Carranza apparently is max
ing every effort to capture Villa by
moving his troops northward rapidly
in an encircling movement, there is no
sign here that Funston's orders to
enter Mexico have been modified in
any way.
Word that American troops had
crossed the border is lacking tonight,
the war department itself not having
Eeen advised as to when the movement
is to begin. The United States,
through the state department, has
virtually established publicity bureaus
in Mexico to prevent distorted YER
sions of the American purpose in
sending forces after Villa. No reports
of dissatisfaction in Mexico have
reached here.
After establishing a strict censor
ship over news of border troop move
ments, the war department, it is un-
derstood, has cautioned Funston
against too full publication of his
plans. Four newspaper correspond
ents were officially designated today
to accompany the expedition. Baker
said the number of correspondents is
limited, not to shut off publicity be-
yond the border, but because of the
problem providing accommodations
with so small military force.
