WASHINGTON', March 17. A concur rent resolution by Senator LaFollette, declaring that Congress approved the ute of the Army to pursue Villa and friving further assurances that the sov ereignty of Mexico, was' not to be en croached on by the punitive expedition, "was adopted unanimously without de hate by the Senate today. The text of the resolution follows: "Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring). That the use of armed forces of the United states for the sole purpose of appre hending find punishing the lawless band of armed men who entered the United States from Mexico on March 9, 1916. committed outrages on American soil and fled into Mexico, is hereby ap proved, and that the Congress also extends its assurance to the de facto government of Mexico and to the Mex ican people that the pursuit of said lawless band of armed men across the international boundary line into Mexico is for the..eingle purpose of arresting and punishing the fugitive band of outlaws; that the Congress in approv ing the use of the. armed forces of the United States for the purposes an nounced joins with the President in declaring that such military expedi tion shall not be permitted to encroach in any degree upon the sovereignty of Mexico or to interfere in any manner with the domestic affairs of the Mex ican people." Word of the Senate's action was im mediately sent to the White House, and President Wilson directed that his appreciation be conveyed to Senator LaFollette. . Senator Fall, of New Mexico, consist ent critic of the Government's Mex ican policy, who was absent when the LaFollette resolution' passed, attacked the measure late today. , "I apologize to the people for not hring here to oppose the resolution," he said. "I want to register my com plete disapproval of the sentiment ex pressed in it and announce that I would have opposed it had I been on the floor. "I have no quarrel with the Presi dent in the position he has taken, al though I do not agree altogether in Xhe methods he has adopted, and I dis agree with him altogether in his deal ings with a man who has dealt with him in utter defiance of the constitu tional provisions of his own country." LYNCHING PROBE STILL ON Baker Grand Jury Visits Whiting and Sensation Is Expected. BAKER. Or., March 17. (Special.) Completing the three-day hearing: of about 30 witnesses at Whitney, the .grand jury returned to Baker tonight to continue its investigation of the lynching of a strange man at Whitney in July, 1913.

Co., Chicago. ton grave assurances that there had been no clash between Americans and any band of Mexicans and that, the routine of the march had. not been disturbed. It was estimated that Colonel Dodd, who crossed the international boundary at 1 o'clock Thursday morning", 45 miles from Hachita, N. M., was tonight close by, if not actually in touch with, the heavier and slower column led in Wednesday by General Pershing. It was intended that the more mobile force of Colonel Dodd should effect a Juncture with the first column, after which Colonel Dodd's cavalry would be sent on reconnaisance work, utilizing also the services of American cow boys who have Joined the column and other scouts. General Pershing continued to hold his line of communication today, re porting at intervals as to his position and the state of his troops. Failure of any body of Mexicans to oppose the Americans and reports that General Calles was using his men to fortify the passes that lead from the state of Chihuahua into the state of Sonora served to dispel somewhat the feeling prevailing in some quarters that, not all the Carranza garrisons would co-operate in the chase of "Villa. A belief prevails here that an en counter with Villa is not probable for some days, as his exact whereabouts are not known, but he Is believed by most persons to be in the mountains not far from the'Casas Grandes district. SCATTERED BANDITS ARE SEEN Americans Relying on Carranza to Maintain Local Order. GUZMAN, Hex., March 17. (Near the line of march of American troops.) American troops already have passed south of this point and some 25 miles east on a line with Ascenclon and Janos. The American column is not moving on the route via Guzman which is about 30 miles due south of Columbus, N. M., but evidently is rely ing on the garrison at Guzman to control points eastward of here. A Carranza garrison occupies this city, and their commander said today that he had every confidence in the ability of his troops to maintain order at Guzman. Many persons taken to be bandits are to be seen, usually singly, in the lone some foothills and mountain passes to the west of the road which runs past cue nortnern environs or uuzman. i ncse Danans, according to the peo ple of this section, are usually seen leading their, horses to the limited watering places in the. ravines of the I foothills. The Constitutionalist soldiers seen here seemed in excellent spirits and under good discipline. Many of them today were busy in reconstructing bridge between here and XTasas Grandes. It was said that the bridge was burned by sparks from a locomotive. TROOPS' REMOVAL PROTESTED Nogales Citizens Say Force Is Needed for Protection. NOG ALES, Ariz., March 17. Protests against the removal of the united States troops from Camp Stephen Little here were sent today to the United States Senators from Arizona and to Major-General Funston by the local Chamber of Commerce. The action was caused by the de parture of Company B, Twelfth In fantry, which left today for Yuma. Ariz. It was pointed out that all of the 1500 troops stationed here are needed to protect this community. While the usual quiet prevailed on the international line tonight, some concern was expressed over the number of Mexicans coming to Nogales from other cities in the United States, among them many Villa ex-officers. Both civil and military authorities are watching these closely. Several are Being held by the county authorities oh various charges. . Teacher's Assailant Sentenced. BROWNSVILLE, Tex., March 17. Two Mexicans who two weeks ago tried to lasso Miss Hattie McClelland, a school teacner in tiiaaigo county, were sentenced to five years each in the penitentiary today. CONSUL IS THREATENED CARRANZA AGENT SAYS LETTERS ARE FROM DIAZ FOLLOWERS. Villa Pursuit Pmokei Writers to De nounce De Facto Government as , Betrayer of Mexico. EL PASO, Tex.. March 17. Andreas Garcia, Carranza Consul here, an nounced today that he was being bom barded with threats of death and in sults sent through the mails by fol lowers of Felix Diaz. He said that similar communications were sent to General Gavira in Juarez. One such communication was written on a copy of an American newspaper which had large headlines announc ing that Carranza had agreed to per mit American troops to cross the bor der. Over this was written. 'you are a traitor to the national honor of Mexico and will meet thr fate of such." Another letter contained high-flown praise of Felix Diaa and denounced Carranza and Garcia as betrayers of their country. A third missive con tained a fairly well-drawn caricature of the first chief, surrounded with menacing comments. Consul Garcia said that he had de tailed some of his agents to trace the senders of these letters and that he was practically certain of their iden tity. He said that as soon as he was sure of his men he would probably lay his information before the Ameri can authorities. PRICE PUT Ofl VILLA Ranchers Said to Have Offered $50,000 Reward. 1200 -YARD SHOT KILLS Proof of Army Marksmanship Is Pound "Vlien Fatalities of Raid Are Investigated More Troops Go on Secret Mission. COLUMBUS, N. M.. March 17. Re liable reports here indicate that some of the large ranching and cattle in terests on the Mexican side of the border here have orrered a reward of $50,000 for Villa, dead or alive. Offi cers here today said they had reason to believe that news of this immense reward had caused some commotion among the peons in Northern Mexico who have heard of It. Here, at least, the border has lost all thought of apprehension that the Carranza party in Mexico would cause trouble. The feeling of aecurity seems to be based more on the Army's com forting presence than on any reports of what it transpiring across the bor der.

Mexicans Sal to Wnnt Peace. These Mexicans say that they be lieve all political factions in Mexico, exi:-pt the Villa supporters, will wel come the presence of the Americans, once peaceful intentions are thoroughly realized. They emphasize that what Mexicans now desire is peace, so long as their independence is not threatened. It became necessary today to kill more than 40 wounded and worthless horses, which had been captured from Villa's raiders. From their appearance, these animals had been driven merci lesrly by the Villa bandits. Their hides had been scraped through in many places. It was learned today that the shot which-killed Colonel Lopez. Villa's first chief, in the raid, was fired by an American trooper at 1200 yards. Much of the shooting during the fight was done at distances of from 600 to 800 yards. Squadrons Move West. Two half squadrons of cavalry left the expeditionary main base here to lsy, striking in a westerly direction. Whether they were intended to rein force the punitive columns was not known. One report indicated that they were going out to help protect the line of communication of that portion of the expedition, under Colonel George Dodd, which three days ago circled to the westward 50 miles' from here and entered Mexico about the same time as the" main column, which went directly south from- here. Troop trains overnight swelled the Columbus camp to what is said to be nearly the size of the original expedi tion. Heavy construction work of many varieties was under way today, and a new city was rising to become the home of the large permanent base which will be established here. $80,000 0REJS REPORTED Rich.
