Aroused because Senator Hale made a point of order against an amendment he proposed to the making an appropriation of $100,000 for public land surveys In Idaho, | Senator Heyburn retallated by making & point of order agamst committee amend- | ments for special murveys in Nebraska, Utah, Oregon and Alaska, thereby preci- pitating a spirited conflict with senators from those states. Mr. Heyburn finally had his %ay, all amendments In question being accepted. Insurgent senators practically reached an ngreement to support the house provisions, making an appropriation for the expenses of the tariff board. Speeches will be made i the senate expressing preference for a tariff commission, but announcing thelr acceptance of the house provision. Senator Depew made an ineffectual ef- fort to have the bill so amended as to provide $20,00 for beginning fortifications for the Panama canal. Senator Hale made a point of order agalust the provision, which was susetalned, Brown Saves Mancuso.

EL PASO, Tex., June 10-—Since early today posses have been scouring the desert beiween Carrizozo and the mountains in search of the lone bandit who held up an El Paso & Southwestern passenger traln last night at Robsart, N. M., near Carri- z0%0. 2 That the man is an old hand at the game, and probably a desperado who will put up a hard battle before allowing him- self to be taken, Is believed from the man- ner in which he carried off the daring holdup. Members of the posses are pre- pared to shoot on sight. Last night's holdup Is one of the most dating In the history of train robberles. The bandit, after covering the Pullman conductor and the brakeman with his gun and compelling them to wstop the train, drove the occupants of the touring sleeper into a private car at the rear of the train, where he forced them to turn over thelr money and valuables. Upon fahing his departuro he fired a volley, shooting out the rear lights of the train. His plunder, It is roughly estimated, will run intp sev- era] thousand dola Two hundred and seventeen dollars in cash, & dlamond ring and several other trinkets were all that rewarded the robber. The raliroad today refunded to the robbed passengers all the money taken from them of $2,600 for the capture of the robber.

The senate provision, that but one bat- tleship may be bullt by one contractor and that' one of the battleships must be con- structed In & government navy yard was agreed to by a vote of 113 to 63.

The other oceasion was when the dem- ocratic committee officlals pulled off a Shallenberger banquet at Beaver City. Mr. Bryan wrote a letter to the chairman to be read at the meeting, and it was not read. The same thing happened at Kear- ney last night. Mr. Bryan wrote a letter to G, C.

MEX. ICO HAS SPY SYSTEM HERE DeSara Charges that He Has Heen Arrested Five Times in United States on Trumped Up Charges. WASHINGTON, June 10.—A dramatic tale of enforced flight from Mexico and, of alleged persecution by American and Mex!- can officers in this country was related to the rules committee of the house today by L. De Lara, a political retugee. After recounting his experience in Los Angeles, Cal, where he sald he was ar- rested five times on ‘‘trumped up’” charges at the Instante of the Mexican government and served more than 100 days In jall, De Lara exclaimed: “I have been In jall five times since 1 came to the United States and have suf- fered the ‘third degree’ at the hands of officers; I have been thrown Into a dungeon and kept for days with nothing to eat but a rotten potato, and neither my attorneys nor friends allowed to gee me. I am llable to be arrested agaln at any time and unless you gentlemen help me, they may get me and hang me." De Lara denounced President Diaz as a “dirty despot,” who had destroyed free speech, free press and the right of ballot in that country. ‘‘More than 40,000 people have met violent deaths for political reasons since Diaz took the reins of government In Mexico,” sald De Lara. “He never was elected pres{dent. He never was chosen president by votes of the people, but has maintained himself by force. The Mexican government has caused thousands of persons to be killed because they resisted the existing order of thinge in that country and sought to restore to the poor people the rights that were taken from them by forc De Lara related incldents tending to sup- port the charge that the government of Mexico was using a system of esplonage in the United States over political refugees. De Lara told how he himself, in order to learn what his government was doing in that direction, had accepted employment as a “spy" In Los Angelew to trace the movements of other refugees. He said he resigned after four days. De Lara said there were orders in Mexico to shoot him because of his political activi- tles. He told how he had been thrown Into Jall in Mexico, but had been released as a result of a misunderstanding. He sald he had escaped 1o this country through the assistance of triends. i —— Kansas ty Murderer Hanged, KANBAS CITY, June 10.—Robert wW.

Ac- companied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Kermit, Ethel and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, he salled on the MHamburg-American ling steamer Kalserin Auguste Victoria shortly after noon. The steamer fs now due at Quarantine on the night of June 17, but the former president will not land in New York until the following morning. In company with Sir Edward Grey, the forelgn secretary, Mr. Roosevelt spent the last night of nia visit fn Kngland at the Brockenhurst, a hotel in the vielnity of New Forest, Hampshire. He had been the Bucst of the foreign secretary since yester- day morning and this forenoon the two motored to Southarapton, Here Mr. Roosevelt was joined by the others of nis family, who had rematned in London, coming down on the boat train this morning. End of Remarkable Trip, ‘When the Kalserin Auguste Victorla turned its prow westward this afternoon, Mr, Roosevelt found himself on the final lap of what in many respects has been the most remarkable trip accomplished by w private citizen, At the head of the Smithsonlan Atrican sclentific expedition, the former chief ex- ecutive of the United States sailed on the steamer Hamburg from New York March 23, 1009, Arriving at Naples he transferred to the steamer Admiral and continued his Journey, stopping at Messina, where he met King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, The arrival at Mombassa was made on scheduled time. April 21, and soon after- wards the nctable hunting and educational expedition was begun and resulted In. an unparalieled collection of African trophies, On March 14, Mr. ‘Roosevelt emerged from the jungle, arriving at Khartum, where he met Mrs. Roosevelt and thelr daughter Ethel. The cxpedition had been disbandeg- late In the preceding month. E Throughout his African journey Mr. Roosevelt was accompaniel by his son Kermit, who went along as the official photographer of the party, but turned out to be & aplendid shot, Lively luterest In Speeches. Following the hunt, Mr. Roosevelt was occupled with a seried of speeches that have excited lively interest throughout the world, Also at this time was begun a serfes of entertainments in his honor such as had, perhaps, never before been ar- ranged for one who had retired to private lite. At Calro he approved of the British rule and talked plainly to the nationalists, Then followed the exchanges with the Vatican, which resuited in his abandon- ment of the requested audlence with the pope. At Parls he delivered an address ac the Sorbonne. At Christiania he addressed the Nobel Prize committee on the subject of International peace, He spoke before royalty at Berlln and was a guest of Bme peror Willlam. Mr. Roosevell's visit to Great Britain was marred by the death of King Edward. Un- usual honors had been' planned for him. As it was, he went to London as special American ambassador at the royal funeral, Long Tramp Ou Final Day. In spite of the curtallment of his pro- gram at the British capital, it was at Gulld hall in the city of London proper that he made the speech that attracted more at- tentlon, or at least more discussion than any others of his addresses abroad. Here again, he touched on British rule in Bgypt and mildly criticised what he concelved to be a tendency to leniency not justified by the present political conditions of the African dependency. His final day In England was one of se- clusion and rest, He was the guest of Sir Baward Grey at the latter's home In Hampshire and together the two tramped for hours through New FKorest, the anclent royal hunting grounds, rich in its fauna {and flora, I expect to| Today Mr, Roosevelt sald that he had been refreshed by his trip In the country.
