Bandit Band "Beats It."

Fort Hancock, Texas, March S. Mexicans working in the San Juan mines, an American-oWned concern on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, reported today that the Villa band, operating in that section under Evifanio Holguin, left in south- easterly direction late yesterday.
 Reports say that the large band at the San Martin ranch has gone south. When the laborers of the mine an- nounced the departure of the rebels the tension relaxed, all along the border.

Villistas Became Frightened,

. El 'Paso, March S.-An unexpected show of force by the American an,l Mexican military was believed to have caused the Villa rebels south of Fort Hancock to depart for the mountains near Villa Ahumada last night.
 Villa partisans here were also given to understand that if a raid was at tempted along the border by the Villa troops, American forces would pur- sue them into Mexico, and it is be- lieved this had it's effect.
 Gen. Rojas Suarez chief of staff to General Murguia, who is in El Paso, announced that General Murguia was preparing to return from Guaradoupe, where he had established a base.

Armed Neutrality Filibuster Results in Rule to Limit
 Debate.
KIRBY VOTES FOR
 CHANGE IN RULES
Only Three Votes Cast Against Amend- ment, Making Organized Fili.
 buster Impossible, Are La-
 Toilette, GrOnna and Sherman.

Washington, March S.---After more than 100 years under rules permitting debate limited only by the physical endurance of senators and the pro- visions of the constitution, the sen- ate tonight, by vote of 76 to 3, put power in the hands of two-thirds of it's members in future to limit dis cussiOn, and to say when vote shall be taken on a pending measure.
 Never while the amendment is in the senate rule book can little group of willful men, as President Wilson called those he held responsi- ble for the defeat of the armed neu- trality bill, prevent vote upon bill before the senators if two-thirds f their number will otherwise.
 The organized filibuster as rec ognized in the senate, is dead. Ac- tion came unexpectedly after six hours debate on the new rule, drafted by a bipartisan committee. Altho both Democrats and Republicans had approved the change i'll caucus, and Senator Martin, majority floor leader, had given notice that the senate would be kept in continuous ser.sion until a vote was taken, nearly every- ouc lOOhcu TUT HiuCII IOH6CI ulSCuS- sion.
 Senators LaFollette and Gronna, two of those who opposed the armed neutrality bill, and Senator sherman, who favored it, cast the negative votes.
 Kirby for ClOture.
 Senators Cummins, Kenyon, Kirby, Lane. Norris, Stone and Vardaman, who were against the armed neutral ity bill, voted for the amendment.
 Colleagues of most of the senators abs0..t announced that if they had been present they would have sup- ported it.
 .TC3e exact effect of the rule will not be apparent until it is enforced, but it probably cannot be successfully used to prevent the spectacular one man filibuster by which senators have talked bills pending in the closing hours of session to legislative graves.
 Senator Vardaman said he would vote for cloture, but not because of recent events" He said he did not fear cloture because of the race prob- lem in the South; ttat he had no apology to make for his opposition to armed neutrality. He said, however, that the president had spoken un- kindly.

find Loeb toadying to the union Of
engineers in the schools to obtain for
himself some semblance Of union
support there.
This is the same Jacob Loeb that
told public meeting of Jewish wOm-
en- at Sinai Temple last fall that he
had notified the Teachers Federation
that if they would get out Of the Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor he would get back
Of the federation and make it the
strongest organization Of teachers in
the United States; and then he added
that he had sent that word to the
Teachers Federation through Mr.
Michael J. Collins, a member of the
board Of education.
This is the same Jacob Loeb who,
last week, after the supreme court
upheld the Loeb anti-union rule,
made this statement in the Chicago
Tribune: This is the happiest day of
my life. Such a decision is worth
making a long fight for. There will

BRIDGES
Searchlights and Fort Myer
Troopers Guard Long Bridge.

Large searchlights last night played UP
and down Long Bridge across the Poto-
mao River while a heavy guard Of troop
ers from Fort Myer patroled the struc-
ture and railways In that section.
1t was the first real warlike scene that
Washington has seen during the present
crisis
The authorities realize the vast i'm
portance of the railways II war should
te declared and are taking every pre-
caution. In the event of hostilities Wash
ington will no doubt be the most active
railway center in the United States. as
troops and supplies will be rushed through
this city from various points along the
Eastern coast.
Long Bridge is a most vital point in the
railway system. 1t is the gateway to the
South and North.
The tunnels from the bridge running
into Union Station are of equal i'm
portance and are heavily guarded. Rail-
way officials in Washington have appeal
ed to the government for dequate pro-
lection OF bridges and other vulnerable
points, and the authorities are making
every effort to hurry guards to patrol
these points day and night.
All war plans of the railway companies
have been worked out and a complete
program is in the desk of Secretary of
War Baker.
The large transcontinental lines are
ready, and the smaller interlocking lines
leading up to the main highways of rail
travel from the corners of every State
are in a position to cooperate on a few

Mass Meeting April 7 Will De.

fBy the International News Service.
Petrograd. March a.-Four facts stand
out In the situation here today.
Movement for an immediate establish
ment Of republic OF Russia took sub
stantial shape in the announcement that
mass meeting will be held on April 7.
at which definite steps will be decided
upon
Tho provisional government announced
that all financial obligations undertaken
by the former regime will be faithfully
fulfilled
countrywide movement was set afoot
to conteract the agitation of the radi-
calls and extremists whose propaganda
tends toward bringing about a state of
monarchy and seriously endangers the
morale OF the army.
While it is plain that an undercurrent
of detection exists among the troops at
the front. eagerly fostered by the Rad
icals who demand peace, the spirit OF the
bulk Of Russia's soldiers in the field Is
one Of determination to push the war to
victory.
Reports that Nicholas Romanofr. the
former Car. had escaped from his
palace prison at Tsarskoe- -Selo, were Of
icially denied today.
The new Minister of Justice, NJ Ker-
enski, declared that he had abandoned
the plan to let women participate in
the plebiscite which Is to decide Russia $
new form Of government. We said the
time was too short for such an important
reform. This strengthened other indica-
tions that the new government is resolved
to have the people decide the issue at the
earliest possible date.
Supporters of the government today
formed a new political party to be
known as Republican Democrats" Their
chief aim will be to combat influences of
the Radicals whose agitation among SOL
diers and peasants is tending to bring
about new chaos and dissolution
