IGNORES BILLS TO DEAL
WITH HYPHEN PLOTS
Congress to Adjourn Without
Enacting Any.

Washington, Sept. despite the
persistent complaints Of the Admins
tratlon that the laws were not ade-
quate for dealing with the hyphenated
plotters, Congress will adjourn with
out passing the legislation framed TO
remedy tins defect. President Wilson,
though openly sponsor for the retail
ia.ory measures against Britain, has
made no effort to have these impor-
tant bills included in the legislative
programme. Had he insisted. It is
admitted at the Capitol, the laws
would have been passed, but, unbe-
sought, Congress was only too ready
TO 'pussyfoot.'
The legislation was framed by At
torney General Gregory, and was de-
signed TO give the Federal government
power 10 prosecute violations and
attempted violations of neutrality. IL
would have made II a crime 10 OBJ
struct foreign shipping by setting fire
10 ocean vessels in American ports, 10
carry arms or supplies 70 belligerent
warships. 10 obtain or use passports
fraudulently. to counterfeit any gov
er ent seal. 70 organize military or
naval expeditions in the United States,
TO escape internment, 70 swear falsely
TO influence this government against
other nations, to dvulse national de-
fence facts 70 foreign agents. TO i'm
personate q foreign diplomatic OF
consular officer. or 10 consplre to dc
any Of these things.
Attorney General Gregory, in trans.
hitting his bills to Congress. said
that the present laws relating TO neu-
trality are clearly defective" and that
he believed their passage necessary
"for the protection Of the United
States and its citizens and for the ful
filment Of the duty owed by thu
United States to other nations with
which It is at peace"

The summer air was rent yesterday
with the walls OF thousands OF New
Workers who had accepted the state
ments Of the car strike leaders that
they would tie up practically every
TRANSFORMATION line in the city. For
most of the thousands the days wall
ing began when they got downtown
after paying anywhere from quarter
to 50 to get there by motor truck or
taxicab, and found they could have
made the journey quicker and IN
greater comfort for nickel on the
surface cars or the elevated or subway
trains, for nearly everything was run
ming.
Most distressing and heartfelt, how
ever. Of all the clamor that arose out
of the utter failure OF the expected
transportation emergency to emerge
was the agonized muttering Of the
thrifty gentlemen who sat up half the
night Wednesday mailing board seats
on automobiles and then sent the autos
forth at daybreak yesterday to garner
the shekels Of the multitude. By noon
these gentlemen were very bitter and
inclined to be anarchistic, for after
one brief and Aeeting hour of fortune
the bottom dropped out Of the garner
ing business entirely.
Jitney Men Lose Money.
What We got for our work was
nothing" said A man who stood gloom
ily beside passenger jitney IN
125th Street. 81 thought these union
men would do what they said they
were going to do and stop everything
so quit my job and gave up my little
old two bucks a day, and me and an
other fellow rented this fvver and
fixed UP this jitney. And all We got
now is Is cents we made before any
body caught on that things were run
ming and a lot of planks that am
worth nothing to nobody
He said it for hundreds Of others.
All over town by that time hocks OF
iitncys stood backed forlornly against
the curbing. waiting for passenger
that never came. Not one jitney man
could be found who had made more
than 50 and not one was there VINO

SURFACE WALKOUT
SURPRISES mitchell
Thought Green Car Pact
Would HOld-TO See
Straus To-Day.

Mayor Mitchell arrived here at $50
last night after humping the bumps
through the Green Mountains at the
best gait a high-powered car could nit.
From the Grand Central Terminal he
went TO his home TO confer with Police
Commissioner Woods and Lamar Har-
dy. Corporation Counsel, upon the
strike situation. He expects TO discuss
means for ending il with Public Ser
vice Commissioner Straus this morn
ing
Surprise that the surface lines. espe-
cially the green car lines, had been in
cluded in the strike, was evident from
the Mayors words, although he SAID
that his knowledge OF conditions was
TOO slight TO permit him to discuss the
strike in general.
Surface Strike a Surprise.
81 thought there would be no trou-
BILE with the surface lines said the
Mayor, ain view of the recent settle
ment that provided a means for set
Ting all differences that might arise !
thought that the agreement with the
green car lines ought to hold, even
when | heard two days ago that the
subway and elevated were involved
1t was at o'clock yesterday morn
ing that Theodore Rousseau, the May
or's secretary. got him on the tele-
phone at st. Johnsbury, Vt. aud told
him that even the understanding
reached between surface car employees
and employers had been no more than
scrap Of paper in the face Of the
strike called on the subway and ele-
waited lines. Up to that time Mr.. Nit
chel had not regarded the situation as
serious.
A tram left st. Johnsbury at $50
a. m. but il was doubtful II it would
make connections with the Boston ex-
press for New York. The Mayor thought
nc could make better time in his auto
mobile.
A. o'clock the Mayor and Mrs. Nit
chel ate a hearty breakfast. A few
minutes later they started Only the
high spots between St Johnsbury and
Hartford bear the imprints Of their
tires. There seemed to be an album
dance Of the high spots at that. In
dignant chickens and constables were
pass and faded IN dust.
Sixty-Mile-an-Hour Gait.
Once out OF the mountains the roads
were better and the pace increased &C
cordingly. As they neared the turn that
would take them 10 Springfield, watches
were consulted They would have 10
do better than sixty miles an hour they
discovered 20 make the Boston ex-
press By keeping on TO Hartford in
the automobile they might succeed in
heading of the train, the chauffeur
thought.
They kept on. For wonder, there
were no blowouts and no officers OF the
law succeeded in stopping them. Hart
ford was achieved and they had five
minutes to wait. The distance from
s.. Johnsbury 10 Hartford is 2l0 miles
and they made il in eight hours.
IL can't tell you anything said the
Mayor TO reporters who met him at the
train. "All ! know now is that ! want
TO 20 nome and go TO bed"
The Mayor was carrying his rife,
wh Oh he had taken to Plattsburg with
him. He denied that he had gained in
weight, saying that his waist measure
was an inch less than when he left
the city.

FIRE TOWN. AND ESCAPE,
FOLLOWED BY U S TROOPS.

Columbus. N M, March 9:-Fran-
cisco Villa. outlawed Mexican ban
dit, raided United States territory
today. With 500 men he attacked
Columbus, N M, killed seventeen
Americans and fired many buildings
before he was driven back across
the international border.
Not less than 250 troopers Of the
18th United States cavalry followed
the Villa bandits into Mexico. Re-
ports late today to Col Slocum, COM
manding American troops here,
stated that Villa had made stand
five miles south of the border where
spirited fighting was in progress.
In this engagement private was
killed and Capt George Williams,
adjutant of the 18th cavalry, was
wounded.
The small detachment of troopers
under Major Frank Tompkins and
Elmer Lindsey, fighting dismount-
ed, made determined stand against
the renewed Villa attack, and at
last reports were holding their
ground.
The raid on American territory
proved costly to the bandit chief
tain. The bodies of eighteen BAN
dts, including Pablo Lopez, second
in command, had been gathered and
burned before noon and troopers
reported an undetermined number
of dead still lying in the brush.
Led to the attack under the slo-

Villa followers fought with despera-
ton. Just before dawn they crept
along bitches skirting the United

the sleeping men, firing heavily.

began applying the torch and shoot
ing American civilians who ventur-
ed from the buildings. Lights in
homes and public buildings i'm
mediately became targets for snip
ers posted at Villas direction. Other
bandits creeping close to American
homes enticed number of civilians
into the open with English spoken
invitations. A number of fatalities
are attributed to this ruse.
Store were looted, oil was poured
upon frame structures and the
match applied by still other bandits.
The postoffice was raided, but the
looters got only one small registered
package.
Many civilians barricaded them
selves in their homes and fired at
the MeXicans as they darted through
the streets. The fighting in the
town ended almost as suddenly as it
began. Less than two hours after
the first shots were heard Villas
buglers sounded the retreat and the
raiders began a disorderly flight,
closely followed by American troop
ers.

AMERICANS CROSS BORDER.
Expect Mexican Aid In Opera
tions against villa.

Washington, March 13:-The Uni.
ted States Government entered into
formal agreement with the de
facto Government of Mexico today
under which American troops will
cross the border to hunt down
Villa and his bandits with the ex-
pectation of hearty cooperation
from the Carranza forces.
Secretary Lansing made puplic
the text of a note accepting Gen
Carranza's proposal for reciprocal
arrangement between the two Gov
ernments and announcing that the
United States held this arrangement
to be now in force and binding upon
both parties. Gen Funston will
carry out his task under this agree
ment.
Official announcement was await
ed tonight that the American force
had crossed the border. Plans for
the troop movements have gone
ahead without regard to the diplo-
matte exchanges
Mr. Lansing also made public a
statement issued in the name of
President Wilson reiterating that
every step being taken by the Ad-
ministration was based on the delib-
crate intention to preclude the pos
sibility of armed intervention in
Mexico.
The statement follows:
In order to remove any misap-
-prehension that may exist either in
the United States or in Mexico the
President has authorized me to give
in his name the public assurance
that the military operations now in
contemplation by this Government
will be scrupulously confined to the
object already announced and that
in no circumstances will they be
suffered to infringe in any degree
upon the sovereignty of Mexico or
develop into intervention of any
kind in the internal affairs of our
sister Republic.
"On the contrary, what is now be-
ing done is deliberately intended to
preclude the possibility of interven-
tion."
