ONE TERM BOGY NOW
LOAMS FOR WILSON;
DEMOCRATS ARE SPLIT
Tolls Row in Congress Indicates
Hard Fight Over Democratic
Nomination in 1916
Washington. I). C., March 28.—The
fight over the Panama tolls question
has bred a spirit of factionalism in
the Democratic party which has filled
the leaders with alarm.
The prophecy was made to-day that
if Woodrow Wilson ignores the one
term principal tn the Baltimore plat
form he will hard a hard fight on his
hands for renomination.
On the other hand administration
spokesmen declare that If the Demo
crats win the next House Champ
r'lark of Missouri will probably forfeit
the speakership as a penalty for his
temerity in showing Ills teeth to the
;Kinilnlstration over the tolls question.
They believe the administration forces
will bend their energies from this
time forth to undo Mr. Clark.
Anger fills the hearts of the oppos
ing leaders on the tolls question. For
a year or more now the Democrats
have given a superb exhibition of
party solidarity. From time to time
radicals have shown signs of restless
ness over the restraints imposed by
the man In the White House but on
alt such occasions they have been
held in check by the influence of
Leader Underwood and Mr. Clark.
On the tolls question Messrs. Un
derwood and Clark were followed off
the party reservation by tifty-five of
their colleagues. Most of these men
were influenced by the platform dec
laration on the tolls question and one
of them, Representative Murray, of
Oklahoma, predicted party disaster if
the pending measure became a law.
Fear Harmony Is Ended
Among Democrats It is realized on
nil sides that anything approaching
failure by the Wilson administration
would doubtless result in party defeat.

TORREON WILL FILL
TDBAY. IS BELIEF OF
REBELS 111 MEXICO
Unconfirmed Report Says Consti
tutionalists Have Taken Im
portant Hill
»S Associated Press
Juarez. Ilex., March 28.—With the
expectation that Torreon would crum
ble under the rebel attack to-day. of- |
fleers in Juarez awaited news from I
the battlefield.
The iast reports yesterday were that j
General Monclovio Herrera had cut'
his way from the eastern side of Tor
reon through the business quarter to
the bull ring on the north; that Gen
eral Villa had set out with more troops
from Gomez Palacio to join him and
take command, and that the federals
were making a final stand in the de
fenses on the west side.
An unconfirmed rumor at nidnight
had it that the rebels had the hill
known as Cerro De La Cruz, an im
portant defense, but verification was
lacking to-day.
Latest advices from both Villa and
newspaper correspondents indicated
that the rebels had carried their as
sault into the very heart of Torreon
and that the federals were hard {
pressed. At that time it was General
Herrera's forces of 4.000 men who
were reported to have entered the
town from the east, and the counter
march of General Villa into Torreon
from the north was expected to throw
the federals under General Refugio
Velasco into utter rout.
Villa Had 12,000 Men
No military official in Juarez to-day I
doubts that the battle which General 1
Villa has waged against Gomez
Palacio, now his, and Torreon, has
been the most desperate of any en
gagement of this or any other revolu
tionary movement in Mexico. Gen
eral Villa went to the front with 12,-
000 seasoned men, well equipped for
a vigorous, smashing assault against
any resistance the federals might of
fer. News dispatches indicate that the
| federals fought fiercely and that the
loss in dead and wounded on both
sides was enormous. Lack of hos
pital facilities, the heat and the desert
wind and the four days of strenuous,
■ practically constant fighting under the
virile and tenacious leadership of
"Pancho" Villa were believed to have
; amassed a large casualty list.
Viiln a Hero
Villa, himself has become a hero.
Everywhere In Juarez his praises were
being sung to,day. By Maderlsts and
constitutionalists he is looked upon as
.the greatest military genius in the
southern republic and great confi
dence is expressed that he will push
his triumphant way with his rebel
army to the very doors of the na-
J tioiiß 1 palace in Mexico City.
With "vivas" for Villa and "vivas"
'for Carranza. the supreme chief of
! the revolution, rebel sympathizers
| gathered about the streets of Juarez
I early to-day to welcome Carranza
' when he ended his long overland
i march from Nogales to this city, en
j route to Chihuahua. And none could
I tell whether "viva Villa'' or "viva Car-
I ranza" was shouted with more fervor.

Members of the firm stated this

The blaze had gathered considerable
headway before men in a nearby cigar
store gave the alarm from Box No. 5,
State and Cowden streets.
Wedged between the Wesley Union

building presented a serious problem
to the firemen, but they succeeded in
keeping the flames within the foundry
walls. After the firemen had returned
home a second alarm was sent in.
Fire had broken out in the pile of
charred patterns.

75 MORE POLES TO
COME DOWN DURING
YEAR. SAYS DIEHL
I
Ordinance Necessary to Compell
Western Union to Remove
Those in Third St.
From fifty to seventy-five more of
the unsightly poles that have helped
pnpport the network of wires will be
removed from the city streets during:
the ensuing year, according to City
Electrician t'lark E. Diehl to-day. The
cutting down of these poles is part of
the plan for improvement which Elec
trician Diehl had in mind when he
asked City Council for an appro
priation of $3,000 for further work.
The item was allowed in the budget.
"The item will allow us to go ahead
in the near future with the work of
removing these additional poles," said
Mr. Diehl, "and we will first take
down the pole in Court street and then
in Market to .Cameron: when that is
tlnished we will try to extend the
poleless territory at least to Thir
teenth and Market streets. North
wardly we hope to get the street
cleared us far as ttriggs street.
"With the exception of a few poles
in Market and Third streets the busi
ness district is being well cleared. I've
noticed in the papers that the Western
Union company means to remove its
poles. To compel this to be done
would rfquire a general ordinance. I
should suppose, which will have to be
passed by City Council."
Poles to Come Down
All the cable that will be iiteded to
complete the installation of the citv's
new underground fire and police alarm
system has been received and the city
electrician will begin the alterations
as soon as the weather permits. The
completion of this job alone will mean
the elimination of about thirteen poles.
The string of shafts in question
extends down Court street to Third
and Market, where a great pole now
stands diagonally opposite tho Colo
nial Theater. A short distance be
tween Market in Third is another, on
opposite sites of Third street at the
intersection of Strawberry are two
more, one is standing in Third half
way between Walnut and Strawberry
streets, and another towers at the
corner of Third,and Walnut.
Most of the poles still standing are
owned by the Western Union com
pany. Company officials who could
discuss the matter were out of town
to-day.

Sir John French Will Likely Be
Transferred to Some Other
Field of Activity
i
i
j By Associated Press
i London, March 28. No solution
. had been found up to a late hour to-
F day of the situation caused by the
| resignation of Field Marshal Sir John
I French and Adjutant General Sir John
Ewart from their positions at the head
of the British army. The cabinet,
however, was still hopeful that its dif
ficulties would be overcome before it
again meets the House of Commons
Monday.
Should the chief of the general staff
and the adjutant general to the forces
j persist in their attitude, it is generally
thought that Colonel John Seeley, Sec
retary of State for War, will leave the
cabinet.
In case the government should be
able to placate the field marshal and
the adjutant general, the transfer of
Colonel Seely to some other field of
activity probably will satisfy the Lib
'eral and Labor malcontents.
Miss Wilson's Wedding
Either April 29 or 30
Washington, March 28. From a
source close to the White House it was
learned to-day that the marriage of
Miss Kleanor Wilson and William G.
McAdoo, Secretary. oIS the Treasury,
wIH take place the last week In April.
The important event is expected to
take place Wednesday, April 29, or
Thursday, April 30.

lor all orders placed in New York or
Washington carry with them the de
mand that hats, gowns, hoots, shoes
and parasols, as well as the wealth of
dainty lingerie, is to be signed, sealed
and delivered at the White House
April 22.
That the President's daughter is
placing not only her trousseau order,
but that for the wedding cake as well,
in New York, Instead of in Washing
ton, is the occasion of much disap
pointment to local trades people.
According to the present informa
tion filtering through the usual chan-
Inels, the present plans of Miss Elea
nor Wilson and Mr. McAdoo are for a
jnoon cew-mony and an early departure
from Washington for some unknown
honeymoon retreat.
The wedding gown will be white sat
in, along the conventional lines, even
though it should bo decided to have
no one witness the ceremony beyond
the immediate relatives of bride and
bridegroom, and the latter's associates
of the Cabinet and their families. It Is
not expected that Mr. McAdoo's eldest
daughter, Mrs. Charles Martin, will
come on for the wedding, as she Is In

to be advised against the transconti
nental Journey.

WILSON MEN ARE CONFIDENT
Supporters Believe Administration
Measure Will Be Passed
Tuesday
By Associated Press
Washington, March 28.— Debate on
tlie repeal of the Panama tolls exemp
tion continued to-day in the House and
•Senate. The House was procoeded on
the Sims bill under twenty hours' de
bate as provided In the hard fought
battle of yesterday. The Senate was
debating the subject generally.
In the House, Representative Know
land. controlling the time for the Re
publican.", assailed the repeal In un
measured terms, "as surrendlng to
tircat Britain without a struggle."
"Is the Panama canal now the price
of the elimination of lluerta?" he de
manded.
In the Senate resolutions by Sena
tor Lewis and Senator Galllnger were
laid aside until Monday. Mr. Lewis'
resolution was supplementary to one
now pending, declaring for equal tolls
and would empower the President to
suspend tolls in his discretion.
Administration supporters are confi
dent the repeal bill will pass the House
by Tuesday night or early Wednes
day.
Says He Is Imposed Upon
Yesterday's victory for the adminis
tration in the House has aroused ex
pectations of champions of repeal in
the Senate that a favorable report
will be forthcoming from the canal's
committee, notwithstanding the influ
ence of Its chairman, Senator O'Gor
man.
"Disguise the situation or becloud
the Issue as you may, thero is no es
caping from the naked truth for the
first time the people of this great na
tion are urged to surrender under
foreign pressure," declared Mr. Know
laud in the House. "I entertain a high
regard for the President of the United
! States. His patriotism and honesty
|of purpose I would not attempt to
j question. However, like all members
I of the human family he Is apt to err.
j In this Instance an apparent error of
judgment in handling the Mexican
situation has necessitated the latest
move at least his message so hints.
The most charitable thing to say is
that he has been imposed upon."
