TO HOLD UP ARMS
CONSIGNED TO MEXICO.
Except Such IS Are Designed Fer the
de Facto Government.

Washington, March 15.-On request
of the state department orders have
been sent to collectors of customs at
seaports of the United States and
~l0T,- the Mexican border to hold Up
al shipments of arms, ammunition or
explosives consigned to Mexico. except
such as it is clearly established are
designed for the de facto government.
The order was said tonight 70 be the
outcome of information reaching the
department that a large consignment
of explosives intended for the Villa
forces was about to be sent south. The
instructions are sweeping in character
ard forbid shipments to any point in
Mexico along the northern border or
to any seaport. They will shut off
shipments to mining companies or
other persons not officially represent
ing the CarranZa government.
How long they will remain in force
was not known tonight, but they GER
tainly viii not be revoked until there
is apparently 10 chance of any arms
shinr~~~+- ~eaChing Villa or any of his
sympathizers.
ORBIT t-ri-ht refused to discuss
the subject but there was reason to
believe some credenCe had been plac-
ed in recent reDorts that friends Of

SILENCE MAINTAINED
BY WAR DEPARTMENT
Censorship One of Most Complete
Country Has Ever Known.

Washington, March 15-Throughout
the day the war department main
tained rigid silence as to the situation
on the border. General Funston was
moving his pieces in the grim game
with Villa behind a curtain of COM
plete secrecy. 1t probably was the
most complete censorship the country
has ever known. The screen was
drawn so close that the department
itself was not advised of the cross
ing until hours after the troops were
on the march.
The only despatch as to the border
situation received by Secretary Baker
during the afternoon dealt with the
departure of the Eleventh Cavalry
from Chattanooga to reinforce the
border patrol.
Rumors flew about the corridors of
the war department all day. Some
dealt with reported fighting on both
sides of the border.
One said a regiment of American
cavalry had been annihilated. Depart
ment officials had no reports on which
such statements could have been
founded.
Only meagre news bulletins from
the troops in Mexico are expected.

BRANDErS' HEARINGS
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
II Is Expected q Vote of Committee
Will Be Announced March ~.

Washington. March 15.-The senate
judiciary subcommittee considering
the nomination of Louis D. Brandcis
othe supreme court completed its
public hearings today and adjourned
until March "A, when it is expected
vote on the recommendation to the full
committee may be reached.
Departing from senate PRECEDENT, the
subcommittee inquiry has been
conducted publicly and since the hear
inEs began February $, many wit
nesses have been heard both for and
against confirmation. y week ago
the committee closed the taking of
estimony, but the hearings were re-
opened at the request OF protestants
against the nomination.
The last witness heard was Edward
r. Warren of Boston, who in 1905 was
chairman of the executive committee
OF the Boston public franchise league,
of which Mr.. Brandeis was counsel.
During the fight before the Massa-
chusetts legislature that year on the
panies, Mr.. Warren said. his commit
tee and Mr.. Brandeis worked along
harmoniously to protect the public
interest until one day Mr.. Brandeis
suddenly and without explanation ap-
peared before the executive commit
tee of the league and recommended
that Il vote in favor of the gas COM
panies increasing their capitalization
two or three million dollars.
That man has a wonderful mag
netism." said Mr.. Warren, "and he
just swept those men off their feet.
All voted in his favor except myself
With the votes in his pocket he went
that day before the legislative COM
mit;ee and told them the league was
behind his recommendation as he had
a perfect right to do. Later members
of the executive committee repented
and two Of them resigned because of
Mr.. Brandeis- The league had recon-
mended the very thing we had been
fighting against all winter"

San Antonio, Texas. March 15.-
Brigadier General John ]. Pershing,
with more than 1000 troops, began the
pursuit in Mexico today of Francisco
Villa, whose raid across the border
last week caused President Wilson and
his cabinet to decide to use the Unit
ed States army to run him down.
Crossed Boundary Line.
General Pershing's report that he
and his command had crossed the in
ternational boundry line just south OF
Columbus, reached General Frederick
Funston, in charge here of general op-
erations, late today.
His report served to dispel to
great extent fears that had been en-
tertained in some quarters that resis-
tance would be offered by the troops of
the de facto government. Colonel Ber-
taini the commanding officer of the
Carranza garrison at Palcmas, on the
southern side Of the dividing line,
promptly joined General Pershing. His
force was only some 400 men, but they
were reported to have displayed will
inCness and even eagerness to Join IN
the chase As a body the Mexican
troops will remain under their own
commander, but a number of them are
being employed as scouts by General
Pershing.
Reports to Be Made to Funston.
Reports Of progress in the country
where the search has been begun will
be made by General Pershing to Cen
eral Funston. but it is not anticipated
that these will be frequent or deal
with any but the more important de-
velopments.
No Developments Until After Friday.
How far into Mexico the column has
reached was unknown here tonight,
nor did General Funston appear great
ly concerned. General Pershing s
course for the next two days Is known
at headquarters and not until after
Friday are sharp developments expect
ed.
Another Column Moving Southerly.
Colonel George A Dodd, heading a
smaller column that entered Mexico
some distance west of Columbus, also
is moving in a southerly direction and
these two forces should be within
touch of each other before the end
Of the week By that time it is ev-
hold the lines Of communication along
which motor trucks for the transporta-
ton Of ammunitiOn and supplies will
be operated. Although the censor
ship imposed by General Funston was
relaxed tonight. efforts still were madn
to keep secret the details of the plan
of campaign. the exact number of men
engaged and their actual locations.
Continue Until Villa is Captured or
Killed.
General Pershing has gone into Mex
leo with orders to oVertake and wipe
out Villa and his organiza lion. I'm"
less orders to the contrary are re-
ceived from those higher in authority
than General Funston the campaign
that was begun today will continue
until Villa is captured or killed.
