FEAR RHRISALS
BY The MExICANS
81 PasO Reports villa Bandits
Are Headed Toward the
Mormon Colonies.
NINE EMPLOYEES GETTING OUT
American Garrisens and Patrols Along
Border are Being Strengthened
by the War Department.

FL Paso, Tex, June 18.-Uneasiness
;or American citizens in northern
Mexico was felt here tonight. Because
IF the expedition by United States
Toops to Mexico Sunday night to dis
9erse Villas forces attacking Juarez, it
feared Villa and his men will at
;empt reprisals upon American per-
sons and property in the north Of Mex
leo. Mormon officials here and in
Tuarez were much concerned over re-
ports that Villa was leading toward
Casas Grandes, chihuahua. This Is
near the Mormon colony of Colonia
Dublan, where many Mormon families
live.
Several American mining companies
have ordered their American employees
to leave for the border as soon as pos
sible. The American Smelling and Re-
timing Company announced that its en-
ployes at Parral, always Villa strong
hold, had been ordered to the border.
It will be necessary for them to go
by way of Chihuahua City and Tor
reon, as the railroad is cut north Of
Chihuahua City. Orders have also
been given the officials and employees
Of the Cusi Mining Company, a Chi
cago owned company at Cusihuiriachic.
Chihuahua, to leave at once. Other
companies have ordered their men to
concentrate in the larger towns and
cities, and to abandon outlying prop
critics until Villas attitude towards
Americans is definitely known.
Two thousand Yaqui Indians have
been sent to Parrel by Gen. Manuel
Dieguez to reinforce that town, which
was captured by Villas forces on
Easter morning. Following this infor-
nation, which was received at the
border today, several large mining
companies decided to have their men
remain in Parrel for the present. As
the railroad is cut south of Juarez
nothing is known of any exodus Of
Americans other than mining men.

Both House and Senate Adopt
Measures TO Terminate OPP
Grafton of Measure.
BILLS NOW 60 TO CONFERENCE
Act viii Not Become Effective, How
ever, Until Last Sunday in
October, the 2eth.

Members of both Senate and House
in advocating repeal of the law, en-
acted March 10, 1913, said they were
guided largely by wishes of, farmers
and laboring men who oppose the ad-
vanced working hours in the spring
and summer season Opponents of the
repeal legislation declared the extra
hour Of daylight was a boon to city
jewellers and asserted that others cas-
lily could adjust their affairs to con-
form TO the advanced clock schedule.
Senate discussion was confined vir-
tuaIly to addresses by Senator LaFol-
Iette, Republican, Of Wisconsin, cham
pion Of the repeal rider, and Senator
Calder, Republican, of New York, au-
thor Of the daylight law. The six SEN
ators who voted against the rider

KANSAS RATIfIES SUFFRAGE
Shortest Legislative Session on Record
Unanimously lndorses Amendment
TO Federal Constitution.

In the shortest session on record the
Kansas legislature recently ratified the
federal woman suffrage amendment
unanimously, passed an expense bill Of
$2,S31, and adjourned. No other legis-
slation was taken up.
The amendment resolution was
passed first by the house. The resolu-
ton was then taken up by the senate
and final action occurred at 3:15
o'clock In the house the vote was
120 to 0, and in the senate 35 to O..
-Four senators and five representatives
were absent.
In the house, the first business con-
sidered, was the suffrage resolution,
which received the unanimous vote Of
the 119 members present. 1t was in
troduced by Mrs. Minnie Grinstead Of
Liberal, Seward County, the first Kan
sas woman legislator.
Speaker Lambertson called the house
to order at 1915 and at lis all bust
ness was completed and adjournment
was taken until 2:15. The only dis
cordant note was sounded by Repre-
sentative Frank L. Martin of Hutch
inson who attacked woman suffrage in
a semi-humorous fashion, then voted
for the resolution.
''I do not believe woman suffrage in
this state or any other has effected the
good that was anticipated he said,
81 20 not believe that it has reformed
politics any. A pan Of hot biscuits Or
a well roasted turkey will go lot
further in influencing men than woman
suffrage"
A number of women leaders of the
suffrage movement were in the gallery
cheering every point scored by their
cause.
