WASHINGTON, fclarch 3.—While
trains from all parts of the United
States were arriving at the Union sta
tion here from one to six {lours late,
the Southern railway brought The At

to the depot at 6:30 this morning, on
time to the minute.
Every one of the 125 southern col
lege and school boys who have come to
Washington as The Journal's guests was
in excellent health and jubilant spirits.
The Journey from Atlanta was made
without a single complaint on the part
of the boys or delay od the part of
the railroad.
Excited over the prospect of seeing a
president inaugurated into office the
members of The Journal party had aris
en long before the train pulled into
Washington, and they lost no time in
malting', their presence Known when the
train came to a stop. The Red Men's
Drum and Bugle Corps led the way
from tne station up Pennsylvania ave
nue and into Thirteenth street to the
Ardmore hotel, where a large sign greet
ed ' them, reading "Home of The Atlan
ta Journal's Inauguration Party.”
Although the sun was just Beginning
to peep over the horizon, Washington
was already: awake and the streets were
lined with people as the southern boys
marched to the martial music of the
drum corps. The walk from the sta
tion to the hotel in the cold, crisp air
of a perfect day gave every one an ap
petite and the boys delighted to find
llreakfasd'awaiting them.
I* took only a few minutes to assign
the boys, to their rooms. They quick
ly made themselves at home, breakfast
ed, and were ready for the first day’s
sightseeing.
i CHEEKED ALONG JOURNEY. •
Cheers and good wishes greeted The
Journal’s guests at every city, town
and hamlet through which they passed.
iWlthin thirty minutes after the spe
cial pulled out of the Terminal sta
tion in Atlanta every youngster aboard
had established friendly relations with
every member of the big party.
Boys*who had never seen each other
until they got aboard the train were
soon congregated in many groups and
their laughter could be heard above the
rumble of tile wheels.
They had -all coptie to have the time
of their young lievs, and they set about
it without waittng for any one to give
them a signal.
The journey from Atlanta was a suc
cession of ovations. Everywhere the
train stopped a throng of people was
gathered at the depot to greet them. In
the crowds were many ladies and young
girls, who had thoughtfully brought
flowers which they presented to mem
bers of the party as an expression df
their interest and good will.
The boys were quick to show their
appreciation of this thoughtful kindness
on the part of the people who had come
to see them and many friends were
made in these brief stops.

’ tier Have Been Greatly
Increased
(By Associated Press.)
GENEVA, Switzerland, March '3.—The
Italian government has joined the re
mainder of the European continental
powers in making military preparations.
It has increased the Italian garrisons
along the Swiss frontier, and military
engineers are engaged in building new
forts, commanding the passes from the
mouth of the Simpleton tunnel toward
the east.
Chambers for mines have been exca
vated at the Italian entrance to the
great Simpleton tunnel, and these have
been fitted with secret electrical connec
tions, so that by pressing a button
twenty miles away the tunnell can be
shattered. «
In the center of the Simpleton tunnel
there is a massive steel door which may
be worked from either the Swiss or
Italian side to break the passage of
trains or troops.

SEEK FREEDOM OF YOUNG
COUPLE HELD IN TOWER
Judge Newman Orders Ap
pearance of Young Boliles
and His Wife
HUERTA WILL ENFORCE
FIRM TACTICS ON REBELS
This Week Mexican Republic
Goes Under Military
Rule j
Charles T. Hopkins, of John L. Hopkins
& Son, as counsel retained by The Jour
nal, appeared before Judge Newman in
the federal court Monday to seek the
released of Barley Baliles, who Is only
twenty-two, and his wife, Bessie, aged
seventeen, whom the government has
held as witnesses In tn e Tower since
last October.
Judge Newman ordered that these
witnesses be brought before him Tues
day morning to see whether they can
be Released on their own bond or wheth
er some other arangement can be made
for their freedom.
This young couple happened to wit
ness the murder of Moultrie Hughes, who
was shot down in his north Georgia
mountain home because he was suspect
ed of being an informer.
The goveinnment had young Baliles
and his bride held as witnesses. The
government is paying .them $1 a day but
they think that six months is long
enough to be held in jail, and they want
their freedom.
The Journal’s account of this long im
prisonment of inhocent persons created
a great deal of surprised interest. Just
married, they have been held prisoners
.in the Tower for six months or more,
although they have committed no of
fense.
Arnaud and Donehoo have also been
retained in this case by Mrs. Robert C.
Alston. Many prominent Atlanta women
are interested in the plight of this
young couple, and are doing everything
in their power to secure their release.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., March 3.—A big
grain crop will be produced by the far
mers of this county this year, farm
work being now well started after a
disagreeable, raijiy season.
Mr. M. F. Charles, who, for years,
has been a firm believer in the great
possibilities of a hay crop, once a
suitable market is found, believes that
he has at last found the market for
his hay, and will devote a large por
tion of his big farm south of here
to the growing of hay.
Many of the farmers have not yet
finished turning their land; but the
preparations for the 1913 crop are well
under way.

tion of President-elect Wilson.

MEXICO CITY, Match 3.—The firm
and energetic military rule promised by
the new Mexican government under Pro
visional President Huerta probably will
be inaugurated this week. Huerta has
had eight days of conferences with the
various rebel chiefs or with commis
sioners sent by them.
The government is now disposed to
qonsider as irreconcilable all those reb
els who continue to delay definite rec
ognition of the new order of things.
The program of pacification will, it
is expected, be jiut to some severe tesPs;
A band of adherents of Zapata fired on
a federal troop train running from the
capital to Cuernavaca yesterday and
sixty soldiers were killed or wounded.
Similar hands of Zapatistas continue
committing raids in the federal district
itself and in the state of Morelos, in
dicating that some of the mountaineer
rebels are determined to keep up their
guerilla warfare despite the negotia
tions between the government and the
brothers Zapata.
W bile the federal government ex
presses itself as sanguine of success in
the northern states, a lack of harmony
between the various bands of rebels In
that region was developed on the ar
rival here of representatives of Orozco
and other chiefs.
Today and tomorrow are to be devot
ed to conferences between these rebel
representatives and the ministers of
war and interior. The railroads be
tween the capital and the north are
still interrupted. There has been prac
tically no mail from the United States
for fifteen days, except that brought
by steamer to Vera Cruz.
U, S, Negro Troops Slay
Four Mexicans in Fight
Associated Press.)
EL PASO, Tex., March 3.—In a run
ning fight on the border near Douglas,
Ariz., early Sunday between Mexican
soldiers and troopers of the Ninth
United States cavalry, four Mexicans
were killed. None of the American
troops were killed or wounded, ac
cording to advices received here late
today.
Four American army officers, walk
ing on the American line, three miles
from Douglas, are reported to have
been fired on by forty regular Mexi
can soldiers, patroling the border out
of Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas.
Sixteen of the negro troopers of the
Ninth rushed to the place of the firing
and had a spirited skirmish.
The American soldiers were holding
their position at the international .line
when reinforced by two troops of the
Ninth. The Mexicans were routed,
leaving four killed on the field and
others struggling througn the brush
wounded. It is said that the American
troops became so excited that they
overstepped the boundary and Dursued
the Mexicans for some distance.
The fight caused great excitement
at Douglas, to which the telegraph
lines are not open today. The towfis-
peopli armed themselves and went to
the’ boundary 'believing the Mexican
soldiers were attempting to invade the
United States. Within a few minutes,
hundreds of citizens were at the place,
armed and ready. Cowboys rushed in
from nearby ranches.
Wood Called for Full Report
But Has Yet Heard Nothing
WASHINGTON. March 3.—Although
Major General Wood, chief of staff of
the army, called upon the commanding
officer at Douglas, Ariz., for a full re
port on the alleged killing of four Mex
icans in a border fight with Ninth caval
ry troopers, nothing had been heard of
the affair early today. Army officers re
iterated their conviction that if the
American troopers fired on Mexican sol-
.diers, it was in defense, after an at
tack had been made upon them.
Epoch Making Session Draws
Near Close - Many
Things Done
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, March 3.—With the
adjournment of congress Tuesday nopn,
the end will be written to two years'of
epoch-making stuggle within party
ranks: and to three sessions of effort,
only partially successful, to adjust the
diffeences between a Democratic house,
a senate under Democrattc-Pogressive
control, and a Republican president.
Many important pieces of legislation
have been enacted within that time; in
vestigations of a peculiar significance
to the public have been conducted; and
tnany subjects of general interest have
been laid aside without action. The
tariff, attacked alike from Democratic
and Republican sources twice during
that period, has been the subject of at
tempted revision, but none of the po-
P.osed changes became effective.
The sixty-second congress opened in
1911 with a special session called by
President Taft to consider Canadian re
ciprocity: it ends with an extra session
of the sixty-third congress only a few
weeks away, to be called by President
Wilson for a general revision of the
Payne-A ldrich tariff law. National con
ventions, the birth of a new party, a
complete change of administration have
Intervened between its beginning and its
end. Activities of the short session
now closing have been limited almost
entirely to routine work, because of the
determination to leave to the new ad
ministration all of the important sub
jects of a general character.
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Perhaps the ’ most important develop
ments of the entire congress are the fol
lowing:
Canadian reciprocity law passed, but
rejected by Canada.
Wool, cotton, metal and free list tariff
bills passed, but vetoed by President
Taft.
Constitutional amendment for popular
election of senators submitted to the
states.
Shipment of liquor into prohibition
states forbidden by law.
Arbitration treaties with Great Britain
and France negotiated, but failed of
ratification because of changes made by
the senate.
Temination of the treaty of 1832 with
Russia demanded by congress.
Notice served on the world bv the
senate, that the United States will not
permit foreign nations to secure mili
tary or naval - fbotholds where they
might threaten safety of this country.
Children’s bueau created in depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Panama canal law passed, establishing
free passage for American coastwise
ships, and barring railroad-owned ves
sels from the canal.
Campaign publicity laws passed, re
quiring a complete public accounting of
all campaign funds.
William Lorimer declared not entitled
to seat as senator from Illinois.
Judge Robert W. Archbald, of com
merce court, impeached and convicted
on charges of judicial misconduct.
MANY PROBES.
Money trust investigation conducted,
disclosing detailed methods of present-
day financial operation.
Campaign expeditures investigated
covering campaign funds of 1904, 1908
and 1912; and disclosing correspondence
between John D. Archbold, of the Stand
ard Oil company, and members of con
gress. 4 .
Investigation made ,of formation and
operation of the United States Steel cor
poration.
These comprise but a few of the laws

Wilson Reaches Washington
BY RALPH. SMITH. °
WASHINGTON, March 3.—Amid the strains of many bands of music, the
shouting: of thousands of voices, the waving: of flags and the yelling of the
Princeton college boys, Woodrow Wilson, who tomorrow becomes president of
the United States, arrived at the Union Station this afternoon at 3:45 o’clock
and was met by a large delegation from congress.
passed, investigations conducted,
treaties passed on, and legislative sub
jects considered during the two years
of the sixty-second congress. The two
great personal struggles, involving Wil
liam Lorimer and Judge Archbald, ran
throughout the congress; and with their
interesting phases helped to draw at
tention from the actual legislative work
of the two years.
While congress passed an eight-hour
law covering all government contracts
except on the Panama canal; it took no
action on three important subjects: an
ti-injunction, workmen’s compensation,
and anti-trust legislation. Recommenda
tions were made by a senate committee
^ithin the last week, for radical changes
in the.anti-trust law, to restore compet
itive ** Conditions and prevent monopoly;
and they may bear fruit in legislation
.under the new administration.
The final session, now ending, has
witnessed a struggle in the senate be
tween Republicans and Democrats, that
prevented the confirmation of the great
er part of President Taft’s appointments.
With more than 2,000 appointments be
fore the senate, Democrats declined to
permit action on ;the great majority,
and the result will be that President
Wilson will fill the places after he
comes into office.
This factional struggle, coupled with
the interna] Democratic contest for the
organization and control of senate and
house under the new administration,
injected the political equation into the
last session’s work to an unusual de
gree. Several bills that might have be
come Jaw in the closing days of this
session have been held back because
Democratic leaders preferred to have
the subjects carried over until a Demo
cratic president, senate and house can
have opportunity to carry out definite
legislative programs.
SESSION’S WORK;
Important actions in the short session
just closing include:
“Literary test” immigration bill pass
ed, but vetoed by President Taft.
Single six-year presidential term
amendment passed by senate.
Life prisoners in federal prisons made
eligible to parole.
Five-year closed season for fur-seals
incorporated in the international seal
treaty.
» Federal control of water powers de
feated in the senate.
Manufacturers of fdods required to
state the net weight and contents on
outside of food package.
Government authorized by law to
seize trust-controlled goods as soon as
imported into the ‘United Stales.
Lincoln memorial authorized to cost
$2,000,000.
The Democratic majority that took
control of the house when the congress
organized insisted on going ahead with
other features of tariff revision, and
passed wool, cotton free list and some
other bills. All three measures with
the aid of the Progressive Republican
forces in the senate reached President
Taft. They were vetoed on the ground
that tins tariff board was conducting
investigations, the results of- which
must be known before a proper revi
sion of the tariff could be made.
Legislative work thaoughout the
special session, and the long session
beginning in December, 1911, and run
ning through last August, included the
following:

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, March 3.“Fair Tues
day morning, probably followed by un
settled Tuesday afternoon or night;
winds becoming variable Tuesday.” was
the official weather bureau forecast for
inaugural day, issued early today.
Apparently having in mind the flare-
back of last inauguration day, when the
prediction of fair weather was over
turned by snow and a sleet storm, the
weather forecasts today wee not posi
tive in their prediction in what kind
of weather would greet the inauguration
of President Wilson and Vice President
Marshall.
Predictions of the weather-wise citi-
dens today were that the incoming pres
ident and the thousands of visitors
would be favored with pleasant weather
for part of -inauguration day at least.
Bands were playing, soldiers were
marching from incoming trains and
thousands of visitors in holiday array
were parading the capital’s streets un
der a brilliant sun and cloudless sky
today awaiting the arrival of Woodrow
Wilson, who is to become president of
the United States tomorrow.
So heavy was the traffic on all rail
roads converging into the capital that
many trains were late, delaying the>
arrival of thousands oi visitors and
participants in the inaugural parade*
but weather conditions augured well
against any serious congestion, and by
tomorrow morning every organization
of military and civic bodies that is to
join the inaugural pageant will have
arrived.
The arrival of the new president
and his family, attended by 560 stu
dents from Princeton university and the
Essex troop of New Jersey as the
magnic event* today. The Wilson par
ty was scheduled to reach the union
station at 3:45 o’clock this afternoon.
Thomas Nelson Page, chairman of the
reception committee, planned to meet the
president-elect and his family when they
alighted from their special train. The
Princeton students were ready to form
a lane from the train shed to the presi
dent’s room in the union station and be
tween the walls of Princctonians Mr.
Wilson and his family were to pass to
meet the members of the official com
mittee.
TO HOLD BRIEF RECEPTION.
The reception will be brief, after
which, without military escort, the Wil
sons will be driven to their hotel, where
the committee will leave them.
At 6 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will
be escorted -by X2olojtel Spencer Cosby.

day met members of the Wilson family
party who have arrived preparatory
for the family dinner this evening,
which will precede the Princeton alumni
smoker, the last event for today on
the new president’s official program.
POLICE ROPE OFF AVENUE.
Historic Pennsylvania avenue today is
a line lined with ropes. In preparation
for the suffragist parade this afternoon
and the inaugural procession tomorrow,
the police have completed their plans
for keeping clear th© route of march
from Peace monument to the Whits
House. Stout ropes will prevent sight
seers from cowding into the thorough
fare and they must needs be stout, for
the national capitol rarely has seen such
crowds.
In order to safeguard the crowds and
to add to their comfort. Fire Chief Wag
ner today placed a ban on big hats and
on smoking in the stands. The only ex
ception made will be in the president’s
reviewing stand, where big hats or
lighted cigars or cigarettes will call
down no' official condemnation.
Beginning in the early hours of the
day, trains from all parts of the coun
try poured out their thousands. Troops
and marching clubs tramped to the mu
sic of bands to their various headquar
ters and harassed reception committee
men had their hands full.
MARSHALL VERY BUSY.
On the eve of assuming the second
highest office in the gift of the Ameri
can people, Vice President Marshall to
day began a program of activity which
will keep him busy until far into the
night. A number of conferences with
political friends and advisers were
scheduled, beginning at 11 o’clock and
continuing until late in the afternoon.
So numerous were these engagement#
thsft it was considered doubtful whether
Governor Marshall will be able to vie#
the suffrage parade.

BOSTON, March 3.—Striking gap*
meat workers and non-union employes
