SENATE BEGINS DEBATE ON
cLoTURE AMENDMENT

Washington, March Eight for
cloture amendment to the senate
rules was begun today when Sen.
Martin of Virginia introduced and
asked unanimous consent for imme-
date consideration of a measure
providing limitation of debate.
Support for consideration Of Mar
tins amendment came from Repubi-
cans as well as Democrats. Senators
Lodge and Curtis were among the
influential Republicans who asked
unanimous, consent for action today.
Senator Sherman-One of the two
Republicans who opposed the pro-
posed gag rule-opened the morn
ing's fireworks with bitter denun-
citation of Pres. Wilson's statement
that it would be useless to summon
an extra session until the senate
rules were revised.
II object to making few senators
the object of the presidents wrath
in an unfair statement, shouted
Sherman.
Sherman saw in the. cloture
amendment what he termed a dan
ger" He predicted that the two
thirds cloture amendment would in
a short time be amended to a major
ity cloture amendment.
Of1cialdom today awaits what
Pres. Wilson has to say or do on
arming merchantmen. A bad cold
and doctors orders that he shall
work little may not prevent him from
framing his course at once.

COPPER MINES PROVIDE !
PAYROLL IN JOSEPHINE
Queen Of Bronze Mine Shipped Eleven Cars Of Ore to The
Tacoma Smeln Last Month, and Pays Out
Nearly $4,000 Every Thirty Days

Two more carloads OF copper ore
equal TO the best that has yet been
produced from the mines OF southern
Oregon came In over the new railroad
from the Waters Creek terminal
Saturday. and has been forwarded
over the Southern Pacific for the
smelter At Tacoma. II was from the
Queen Of Bronze mine. which IL now

every other day. Other mines In
the district. notably the Waldo Cop

and every mine is making arrange

During the month OF February the
Queen Of Bronze mine alone shipped
eleven cars OF copper ore to Tacoma.
the total tonnage for the month be-
ing SIS from the one mine. All or
this ore must be hauled 80 miles by
wagon before II can be loaded on the
cars at Waters Creek. and the ship
ments are therefore remarkable in
view Of the fact that II covers 4 per

their worst.

WANTS TO KNOW HOW
FAR THE U. S. CAN GO

Washington, Feb. 10.-"Just how
far can Germany go before the United
States enters the European war as a
combatant?" was the question Sena-
tor McCumber asked in the senate to-
day.
McCumber several days ago intro
duced resolution demanding a con-
struction by the secretary Of state Of
our present status ON the submarine
question.
McCumber introduced a resolution
today demanding his question be an
swered. Discussing It, he said.
II would suggest that the United
States establish zone also that
would show Germany what she has
to do to get us into war.
Since February about rs ships
have been sunk by German submar-
ines without warning. but the pres
ident has told us to await an overt
act II we are to wait for anything
further there never will be ceuse for
us to enter the struggle"
Referring to the decision Of yester-
days cabinet meeting that only the
destruction OF American ships and
American lives would be regarded as
cause for war, McCumber asked.
Does this mean we no longer
question Germany's right to sink bel
ligerent ships with Americans on
board without warning, and that such
an act will call for nothing more
than another note?
IF we have another Lusitania case
will We let II go by without anything
more than a note being sent to Ger
manyf"
At McCumber's request, his resolu-
tion was referred to the senate for
eign relations committee.

NEED HEAVY PATROL
ON MEXICAN BORDER

III Paso. Feb. 10.-Federal Of
fclals today said that In the event
OF war between tho United States and
Germany q heavy border patrol would
DO necessary, because the Mexican
boundary line Offers q channel for
possible activities by the German ele.
ment In northern Mexico. United
States agents who have been studying
the situation have determined that
German Influence In the Mexican
states bordering on United States ter
ritory, is stronger than that OF any
other foreign nation. Many OF tho
largest Industries In chihuahua and
Sonora are controlled by German
capital. amounting to millions OF dol
lars At the present time the Ger
man residents In northern Mexico
outnumber other foreigners two to
one.
American, English and French In
terests lead the Germans In capital
invested In the entire republic. but
the Germans exercise probably the
greatest influence through a systa-
matte campaign for power during tho
past five years.

Washington. Feb. 10.--The nrst
real sign that agencies are at work
to prevent any armed clash between

on highest authority that Germany

some way in which to prevent what
has for a week appeared to be an in
evitable conflict.

wants the United States to suggest q
line Of policy whereby Germany need

but whereby she can avoid further
breaks with neutrals and preserve
peace with the United States.
This latest development, 1t is
known. is apart from the movement
Of neutrals who have been holding
exchange OF views" as to a neu-
trail conference to be held shortly In
to discuss measures for con-
cert OF action in keeping any more
nations from entering the war.
An effort has been under way for
week to avoid a break between
this country and Austria, although II
Is known that Austria has ofiicially
backed up Germany's new submarine
decree.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff has de-
to do all he can upon reach
ing Berlin to restore friendly rela-
lions and may already have lain the
foundations for that objective.
It is believed possible Germany,s
decision to communicate with this
government has resulted from the
combination Of all three Of theae In
'luences, yA
It is suggested as a possibility that
Germany may be asking the United

made public as an astounding addi-

German intrigues in America and
elsewhere a message sent by Count

ence Congress through an unnamed

Whether the State Department IL in

ing the ambassadors activities has

nary disclosures already made have
fixed the belief that agents Of tho

lected and complied the entire story
OF German duplicity and intrigue and
that additional chapters will be
added.
The reference to avoiding war Is
taken as an indication that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had prior knowledge OF
his governments intention to proclaim
a merciless, widespread submarine
warfare. and that he was equally con-
fident that the United States govern
ment could not be easily placated by
mere promises.
