OXE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MAROONED IN SNOW Men Who Appropriated Free- Trans portation Over Southern Pacific Secure Arms and Ammunition from Many Sources Ixsulers Suy Men Are Marching from All Northwest Cities. Portland, Ore., Feb. 18. It would appear from statements dropped by Industrialists here, that the real ob jective point of the crowd which ap propriated free transportation from Portland to Ashland over the South ern Puclfic railway, Is Mexico, to fight for the insurgent cause, and that the talk about the Fresno dem onstration is merely a bluff to con ceal the actual Intentions of the re cruits until they can swarm over the border into Lower California. The men who passed there were well provided with small arms, but the local members of the order either do not know or will not admit that they know who supplied them. The claim Is made here that the number of Industrialists now headed for California Is about ten thousand. These nun are said to be traveling In mall parties from practically every city of the country west of Chicago. Have Strenuous Trip. Itedding, Cal Feb. 18.

The authorities at Dunsmuir, the first station where the men can hope to obtain food, fear trouble when the half starved "army" reaches there, and contemplate asking the gover nor to call out troops to aid them in handling the situation. Word receiv ed from the police at Ashland stales that a large part of the expedition Is armed. The opinion is, however, that the men will only ask for food and shelter on their way.

MANN CONDUCTS ONE ONE OF MOST REMARKABLE IX HISTORY OF HOUSE Illinois Representative Prevents Ac tion on Omnibus War Claims Rill Despite Overwhelming Majority. Washington, Feb. 18.

Eleven o'clock Is the regular hour for meeting and Speaker Cannon holds that today's silting is a new legislative day. If he is successful . in maintaining this ruling the omnibus claims bill is dead for this sesson of congress. Yesterday's filibuster was largely a one man affair and one of the most remarkable in the history of the house. At one time, in order to se cure a quorum, the sergeant at arms was directed to arrest all absentees. With assistants that official started In pursuit of the missing members. But before any arrests were made, enough drifted Into the chamber to make a quorum and further proceed ings under the order were dispensed with. While waiting for a quorum the house was In much disorder. It was good natured, however, and there was continued laughter.
