RUMQR PERSISTS ACUTE CONDITION
 PENOSAT BORDER
Juarez Heavily Reinforced
 Castro Too Busy to Re
 ceive U. $. General American Mining Men Fleeing to Fl Paso-Fear Villa Destruction March l

JUAREZ, Mexico, Feb. 2S.--Villa fol- lowers menace Juarez in spite of re- peated official assurances to the con .trary and were reported late today at a point north of Villa Ahumada, S3 miles south of here. Whether the band is a main Villa column under Martin Lopez or a scouting party un- der Ramon Vega or some other minor chief was not known here. but the presence of the Villa band within the hundred mile radius of Juarez is caus- ing increased vigilance in the border district.
 General Jesus Augustin Castro, com mander of the northeastern zone, who arrived here late last night, was so busy making reconnoitering trips in all directions from Juarez today he did not have time to receive General James J. Hornbrook and his staff, who had planned to call and pay their respects to the Mexican commander, who is also sub secretary Of war These reconnoiterings were made with Colonel Augustin Mora, the garrison commander here, with heavy guard of cavalry. After they were completed the two commanders were closed in the generals private car until late tonight, pouring over military maps and planning the placing of three trains of endorsements brought north by General Castro last night.
 This unusual military activity, coupled with reports from south of Juarez that Villa bands were active caused many rumors of impending attacks to be circulated here today All were Of ficially denied, but the military off cers admit that they are taking every precautionary measure against Villa attack. General Castro expects to re main here for a week, it was an nounced here tonight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Fourteen members of the Spanish branch of the |. w. w. were arrested by se- eret service men and members of the police bomb squad, in two raids here late today. While they are charged formally with having sedi- tious literature in their possession. government agents claimed to have evidence they were matching a ter rorist plot.
 The grave nature of the alleged plot and the inninenee of the att tempt to carry it into execution, t was declared. made it essential that the men be imprisoned at once. After being questioned at police headquarters, where their finger prints were taken, the prisoners were locked up without bail pend ing arraienment before a United states commissioner tomorrow.
 FIND DlSMkNTlED DEVICE
 Meanwhile mechanical experts have been assigned to assemble complicated machine, found dis uantled in one of the rooms raided. The secret service agents said they were at a loss to explain its pur- pose. Translators were put to work on a mass of papers and doeu- n1ents seized.
 One of the houses raided had been under police surveillance for several days as result of meet ings held there, 1t was said.
 All the men, it was said, are Spanish aliens who have come to the United States during the past three years.
 According to the secret service men, youth of 27, who gave the name of Jose Graud, is the chief organizer Of the Spanish [. w. w. here, and is editor of a radical Spanish newspaper published in New York. In the |. W. W. or ganization, fl was said, he is known as Arnoldo Sapstens.
 PLANNED ATTACK TODAY
 Frank Francisco and Edward J. Dowd of the secret service, as we'll as New York detectives, who as- sisted them in the raids, declared they had obtained evidence which would be used in an attempt to prove the prisoners had planned to assassinate President Wilson in Boston tomorrow. but this ssser- ton was diseredited by Captain Peter Rubino of the secret service, who directed the raids.
 According to the police, two of the men, who frankly admitted they were anarchists, stopped here on their way to Boston and intend ed to go on to that city tonight. These men were from Philadelphia.
 ARE AVOWED REEDS"
 It was explained that the Span ish branch of the |. w. w. in this country had been watched closely for months by the secret service. as most of the members are svoued anarchists.
 The prisoners were questioned for several hours at police head quarters, but for the most part maintained sudden silence.
 On the wall of the elubrooms of the |. w. W. rsided, was a picture of Or. liebkneeht. the spartacan leader, recently asssssinsted.

NEW SPEAKER TO BE CHOSEN THIS WEEK THURSDAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The final week of the sixty-fifth congress will be ushered in tomorrow with the busiest seven days in all congressional history in prospect Among the outstanding features will be President Wilson's conference at the White House We'd nesday, with the foreign relations com mittees, on the league of nations, pos sible daily discussion of the league pro- position in the senate, selection by the house republicans of a candidate for the speakership of the next house, and the final rush of appropriation bills and other urgent legislation.
 Discussion regarding an extra ses- sion of congress also may be reached. With sine die adjournment at noon on Tuesday. March 4, leaders of both hous- es have abandoned hope of avoiding an extra session.
 If the house bill to authorize s7,000,- 000, 900 of short term treasury notes in lieu of Liberty bonds for the April loan campaign is passed. the leaders plan to advise the president to call the extra session about May 15. If it fails. a re- quest for a call for congress. not later than April l. will be substituted.
 Hope of passing all of the appropria tion bills apparently has been aban- doned. Only two of the 16 regular money bills have been enacted.
 Senate discussion of the league of nations is one of the principal ob- staeles in disposal of legislation. De- fense of the league on behalf of the l administration will be opened tomorrow by Senator Lewis of Illinois.
 Choose Speaker Thursday The speaker of the next house is to be chosen Thursday night at the confer ence of republicans. Friends of Rep resentative Gillette of Massachusetts are confident of his selection, although supporters of Representative Mann of | Illinois have not yet conceded defeat. Among bills said 10 be virtually as sured of enactment were those ap- propriating one billion to maintain the government wheat price guaranty; ! s150.000,00G for tho railroad administra- tion; the bond bill; the postof;ice ap- prcpriation measure. the sundry civil bill. with S650. GOO. eco for the shipping board; the measure appropriating slS.- 0VO Oe0 for hospitals; the legislative, 1 executive and judicial salary budget, and the measure validating informal war contracts.
 l Doubt is expressed regarding dispo- , sltiOn Ol the army ana navy appfopIl- ation bills; measures for oil. coal, gas and water power development: pro- 1 hibitory legislation; the new sedition bill; the rivers and harbors appropria- ! tion measure the bill providing for the | 1920 census, and the renomination of Comptroller of Currency Williams.
 Failure of the following measures generally is conceded: the s25,0eo. .00C appropriation in connection with the Colombian treaty; general railroad leg islation. labor and unemployment; the public building bill; the woman suf. frage resoution; immigration ressric. tion; regulation of the meat industry civil pensions and termination of gov. ernment control of telephones, tele- graph and other wire systems.

SPEED UP PEACE IS.
 DEMAND OF MEMBERS .0F PARIS COUNCIL

PARIS, Feb. g (By Associated Press )-Results of far reaching char acter were obtained at the meeting of the council of the great powers today. when resolutions were adopted re- auesting such a speeding up of all work of the peace conference as to permit the formation of 8 preliminary peace treaty by the time President Wilson returns to Paris in the middle of March. To accomplish this, all com- missions dealing with the big ques- tions of reparations, boundaries. and economic and financial issues, must report to the supreme council within the next two weeks or by March 8 at the latest. These reports in turn will form basis for the drafting of the treaty.
 An extensive program has been care fully matured within the past few days. and it WAS brought into elimination ,his afternoon when A. !. Balfour. Brit ish foreign secretary. and Colonel F.. M. House rf the American delegation. called on Premier Clemenceau. Each round the wounded statesman dressed and sitting up and beenly alert and fully agreed upon the plan for rapid acce,eration of work.
 Agree to Speed Up This brought together. the British. American and French viewpoints for a rapid course of action. assuring the earliest possible peace. Shortly after wards the supreme council met and ratified the program.
 The main feature of the speeding up i plan is to embody all subjects, both ! non military and military, in the l parliamentary peace soon to be framed | and to have this broad general docu- ment take the place of a separate mili- | tary treatment of disarmament, which i has been proposed by the supreme war i council under the direction of Marshal ! Toch. who was to present 1t within 1 the next few days.
 1 It will be this broad general plan which will be drafted by the time the president returns. and which will soon ! thereafter go before the peace confer ence.
 The foregoing action relates only to Germany. as the conclusion of the | plenary peace treaty is regarded as of | chief importance. But some action may
 proceed at the same time concerning | Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. Although the proposed document is
 designated as plenary peace treaty, | it is expected to embody virtually all main questions.
