Senators Smoot and Borah ctiticised the way in which the Administration has handied the Mexican situation, “Before another forty-eight hours have passed, in my judgment, we shall be at war with united Mexico,” sald Senator Borah. “No one doubts what the forces of Huerta will do and no one can doubt what the forces of Carranza will do. I think when this aet is passed it ought to be de- clared that the United: States will) withdraw from Mexico, will withdraw | from Nicaragua, will withdraw from | Hondoras.

Senator Hitchcock said that to have accepted the amendment would have shown discourtesy and disrespect to WILNGTOENLST None at Reunion To-Day More Willing Than Col. Morton, Who Is Only 83. The spirit of '61 dropped around to- day, patted the spirit of ‘14 on the back, gave it a few tips and told it to cheer up that the worst is yet to come. It was fifty-three years ago to-day that Victory Guard lined up, solemnly Uatened to a roll call, swore to support the flag and marched away. Never heard of Victory Guard? Well, it was @ volunteer company of patriotic youths who gave up home, jobs, loved ones, everything, just to go to war. There were 10f in Victory Guard.

CONGRESS WILL GIVE WAVY $142,000,000 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.— Plans to make the appropriations of $142,000,000 in the annual naval bill immediately available for use because of the Mexican crisis were made to- day by the House Naval Committee, Several members, Including Demo- ‘\crats and Republicans, agreed to take this unusual step, as the money would not be available until July 1 without the “emergency claune,' }us he had t+ ‘| Mexico. the President. “TI refuse to consider that a reason,” sald Senator Lodge, pounding with his fist on a desk. “Are we sent here to be told that we are discourteous because we criticise the policy of a resolution Secause it was offered by some one or comes from the White House? We will not be held down like that. We cannot be charged with lack of manners. Presidents and policies have always been criticised here and always will be.” Senator Lodge charged that Admin- istration leaders sought to restrict the scope of the resolution for the reason that they hoped to keep Carranza and Villa from any alliance with Huerta. He predicted that-unless the embargo | on arms was applied to the Constitu- tionalists, the United States, when forced to cross the border, would find Mexicans using guns and ammunition which this Government permitted them to procure. “Action by Congress put ting on that embargo is not neces sary,” said Senator Smith of Michiga: “The President has ample authority. An embargo was placed on arms be- fore by another President.” Senator Weeks asserted that the joint army and navy board yesterday had agreed that the embargo against arms going across the border should be restored. “My advices from the border,” said Senator Fall, “is that Villa was at Jua- rez night before last with 6,000 men and arms were constantly being taken across; and that the United States army stopped one shipment without authority from the State Department.” Senator Lewis defended the Presi- dent's course in Mexico. He said that if Carranza spoke now in warlike tones It must be lald at the door of Senators who sought to have Congress pass a resoiution which would have been tagtamount to a declaration of war When the Prenident of the United States had "8 Tnited States n hypocrite? Shall we vote to suy that when he spoke to his heart a lie?” asked the Senator. id a The Senvte, after considerable de- bate, passed the emergency resolu- tion giving President Wilson $500,000 to be used in his diser removal of American The — resolution, passed the House vesterday, will go| to the President for his signature. - ieee CHAUFFEUR GIVES UP $107 AND GEMS HE FINDS Harry Brauer of No, 44 James street, a taxt chauffeur, walked into the Charles street station this after- noon and handed over’ a chamols bag containing $107 in money, a $300 pearl brooch and a $200 diamond pin. “[ found it in my when I camo home for lunch,” said Brauer. “I had several fares this morning and I don't know who It bel ” Soon after the honest Brauer’s visit House Deteotiva Jacob Vedder of the Hotel Plaga visited the station house.
