WILL INVESTIGATE USE OF MONEY IN
 LAST CAMP PA|GN
Democratic Senate Leaders Have Laid Definite Plans for an Inquiry to
 Begin at Once

Washington, November 14-Definite plans were laid by administration lead- CTS today for having the Senate begin an investigation as soon as Congress convenes of the use of money in the last presidential campaign. Several sem ators have discussed the question with officials of the administration, and it was said tonight that the investigation will be held beyond question.
 Suggestions were made that President Wilson might mention the subject in his next annual message to Congress in rec ommending passage of a corrupt prac- tices act, but some officials thought he would take the position that he should leave the question to the Senate in view of the fact that he himself was a can didate. Senator Reed of Missouri will confer with the President tomorrow, and the question may be brought up at that time.
 As outlined by officials today. the in- vestigation will be very thorough, and will include the ross-examination of wealthy men supposed to have made campaign contributions as well as of the men in charge of the spending of money raised for the campaign.

SUPREME COURT HEARS ARGUMENT
 AS ID MANN ACT
Caminetti-Diggs Case From California Is Submitted to Settle Application of
 Federal Law

Washington, November 14.--With the submission today to the supreme court of the so-called White slave cases, the question of future federal prosecutions for violation of the Mann law, when elements of commercialized vice or coercion are ab- sent, now awaits the courts decision.
 In arguing appeals from conviction, un- der the Mann act, of r. Drew Caminettl and Maury l. Diggs of Sacramento, Cal, and l.. I. Hays of Ava, Okla. Assistant Attorney General Wallace, for the gov ernment asked the court to interpret the law so as to prohibit interstate trans portation of women for any immoral pur- poses, including noncommercial personal, immoral escapades. The contention that Congress never intended the law to apply to cases of mere immortality without the elements of commercial traffic or coercion, was presented by former Sena- tor Bailey of Texas, and Harry o. Glas- ser of Enid, Okla, for the defendants.
 Final decision of the highest court, to set at rest variant rulings of federal courts, was asked in todays arguments. It is possible that Diggs case may be re- opened later this week to hear his per- sonal counsel who was not able to reacl, Washington today.

CABRERA QU|BBLES OVER AGREEMENT OF BORDER CONTROL Repudiates Plan Already Agreed On and Situation
 Now Looks Very
 Hopeless

Atlantic City, N. J., November 1A-Re- pudiation by Luis Cabrera today of a plan of border control that had been agreed upon by two of his colleagues and the three American representatives again has made doubtful the ability of the Americans on the Mexican-American joint commission to assist Mexico in its eff forts to restore normal conditions along the frontier.
 The Americans were hopeful tonight, but it was indicated by those in touch with them that further opposition. char acterized as ''quibbling,l would not longer be tolerated. f
 There appeared reason to believe that unless the chairman of the Mexican com mission adopted a more tractable man ner he and his associates would be in formed that further consideration of Mex ico's socisl. economic and military prob lems must come to an end.
 The agreement that provided for the withdrawal o1 the American punitive ex- petition now in Chihuahua and for q method of deaiing with border raiders in the future wls reached yesterday, Ig- nacio Bonillas and Albert J. Pani of the Mexican commission concurring. MT. Cabrers chairman Of the Mexican representatioi. went to Philadelphia, where he conferred with Rafael Nieto subsecretarybf the department of finance or which M. Cabrera is chief. It was when he rqppeared in the commission room this morning that he announced his opposition tY the details of the plan. It is known tAt his expression of dissatis- faction was vehement.
 That the agreement for withdrawal of teh troops dh not provide for their im-
 mediate retirement Is evident. It stipu- lated, it is understood. that they should

BIG DEVELOPMENTS
 EXPECTED IN SESSION
Matters of Far-Reaching Effect on Relation of Capital and Labor to Be Settled-Three Impor-
 tant Measures
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, November l4. Special. = Congress recon venes December 4. The follow ing day, President Wilson will deliver a short message. He will insist that before March 4, democrats complete their en- tire legislative programme.
 For, beginning with the next ses- sion of Congress. republicans, judging from present indications, will have con rroi Of the House, and in the chair will preside James R. Mann or Joseph c. Cannon or some other individual of reactionary propensity
 The President, in his message, will urge the immediate completion of legislation calculated to prevent indus trial strikes or to control them. He will SpCdA, u 10 SeiN, III q NCly III LII lOAC regarding Germany, on the one hand, and England and France or the other; neither of which have kept faithfully and to the letter, it is contended, re- garded the rights of this neutral nation. He will deal in positive man ner, it is believed, with the Mexican situation, and will, incidentally, let it be known that American troops will not be hastily withdrawn from across the border
 Z There is no indication that an extra session will be called for March 4.

thought and admitted by the states Coun- sel that Overton win not be arraigned before Thursday morning.
 GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED
 Great secrecy is being maintained re- garding the transfer of Overton from the Montgomery county jail to Huntsville. It is, however assured that Overton will be in the Madison county jail within the next 24 hours. Special deputies have been instructed with the order of removal, is- sued by Judge B. M. Miller. and the transfer of the noted prisoner is expected to be made without untoward incident.
 Judge B. NJ. Allen, the leading counsel of the Overton forces, stated today that he was following the policy of ''watchful waiting" and that he was still undecided on the question of seeking change of venue.
 Absolutely no decision has been reached on the question of making a motion for a change of venue" said Judge Allen, "and as matter of fact there is more

New York, November 14.-The in- terrupted conference between repre- sentatives of the nations railways and their 100000 brotherhood employees. looking toward an adjustment of their newly formulated differences on the interpretation of the Adamson eight hour law was not resumed here today. Instead of meeting, the railway man. agers announced their purpose of fighting the law to the, end in the courts, while the brotherhood chiefs who remained in the city left for their homes, protesting to believe that they may safely rest their case with Pres ident Wilson.

Huntsville, November 14.--(Special.) Although the states counsel examined several witnesses today before tue special grand jury in the Madison county circuit court there were no developments of unusual moment.
 The entire city of Huntsville is anx- ious to know the purport of the con- vening of the grand jury, but the states counsel has thus far maintained n discrete silence regarding the plans of the prosecution.
 It had been expected that there would be, partial report of the grand jury late this afternoon, but owing to unexpected delays in the examination of witnesses, nothing of a definite nature developed. The delay in making of a partial report, it is understood, also means a delay in the arraignment of David D. Overton a former circuit clerk of Madison county. for the alleged assassination of Probate Judge William T. Lawler. It is now

Sydney NJ. Van Wycl1, Jr., chairman of the democratic committee, worked all day bringing in reports from little counties in the mountains where the county clerks had advanced their count and also succeeded in getting one or two fair sized counties. His total for 20 counties showed that the totals for the lowest democratic elector in each county added 6466 votes more than the totals for the highest republican elec- tor In the same counties. This count would show, when completed, the Will son electoral vote at it's lowest ebb, MT. Van Wyck said.
 SOLID VOTE SEEMS ASSURED
 That is to say, if the lowest demo- cratic totals are nominally ahead of the highest republican totals a solid delega- ton in the electoral college is assured. If the highest republican totals exceed the lowest democratic totals this will not necessarily indicate that any republican eIector wins because the lowest democrat and the highest republican are not the same in all counties.

The speaker first conferred with Representative Do- remus of Michigan, chairman of the dem- ocratic congressional committee who predicted, despite unofficial returns in- dicating the election of five more re- publcans than democrats, that the final canvass would give the democrats con- trol and that the speaker would be re- elected.
 On the other hand, Representative Woods of Iowa, chairman of the republic an congressional committee, was insist ing that complete returns would show republican gains instead of losses and that republicans would dictate the organ izaton of the House.
