Mexi can nilnlater of finance. In substance It I Indicated that roptured American allies of the revolutionists will have to take their chances with their Mexican companions. The Intimation la strong that no preferen tial treatment can be accorded them. This is considered to mean that under martial law they might be summarily tried and executed. Minister Llmantour. after reading; all dispatches from El I'aso.

II added that Americans who have allied themselves with the "Insurrectionary move ment run scarcely expect protection longer under their own flag, and ft would seem obvious that they should take their chances when committing depredations upon prop erty under a foreign flag;. Mr. Llmantour said: "I am firmly convinced that, except for the sympathy, financial support and actual p.irtlclptitlon In conflicts of Americana, the msurt action In Chihuahua and Sonora could not king continue. Almost dally one reads of the part taken by Americans and they are the only known lenders except Madero. "This morning's dispatches report that a young American, a former broker In New York, so It Is claimed. Is leading a band of desperadoes along the llns of the Na tional Hallways of Mexico and the Mexico Northwestern railway toward Juarez, and that they. have torn up additional stretches of track on these roads. "I wonder If those Individuals and other Americans who have had any sympathy, or taken any part In that Insurrection realize the full significance aad importance of thr attilwlfc ud acts. '' ItnllroHil Out of Service. As Is probably generally known, the line of the Mexican National railroad between Juarex and Torreon la practically out of service betaiihc of the depredations com mitted by Mexican rebels and American sympathisers. In the territory served by that stretch of railroad some 30,000 people are employed in the mining Industry. Prae Ileal suspension now prevails In that In dustry In that section of Mexico. "This means that not only are thousands of honest people thrown out of employ ment, but also that when idle they are In cited by Home of their disloal countrymen and by lrrrsoiiiUle Americans to join the Insurrectionary movement under the prom ise of marvelous benefits."

VOTE IS TWENTY TO THIRTEEN Senator Tibbets Makes Effort to Defeat Flan. APPROPRIATION NOW IS NEEDED Committee Recommends One Mill Levy to Do Work. SHELDON'S BUREAU SCORES POINT Itonae Raise His Salary at Kxnrnse of Historical Society t onference Committee on Initiative and Referendum. i From a Staff Correspondent. LINCOLN. March 14. (Special. -The re port of the university removal committee was approved by the senate this afternoon after a delay of several weeks. Tibbets tried to get through a motion not to con- bur, but was defeated, 14 to 19. Ollls. chair man of the committee which reported for removal, Insisted that some action be taken upon the decision, which has already been approved by the house. Tibbets spoke against the removal, declaring that It would be unwise financially and educa tionally to remove the buildings from the city campus to the farm campus. Senator Brown of Lancaster said the question was one of business administra tion. He stated the alternative of a -lmlll levy for removal or a half of 1-mtll levy for maintenance as the campuses are now. The Immediate expenses would be grenter in consolidation, but the purpose of the university would be better served. Sklles said it was understood that If any member of the committee wished to op pose th 1-mlll levy the remainder of the committee was under agreement not to complain and lie. as a member of the com mittee, was willing to see the university remain where It Is. The Important thing, he said, was to adopt some policy, and following that, to give the university a generous levy. Tibbets' Motion Kails. Tibbets moved not to concur In the com mittee report and that the present location be retained. Banning acked i why aitch action was necessary as the report was largely noncommittal. Bclleck of Lan caster, speaking for the citizens of Lin coln, said the people of the city were In different. They appreciated the university, he said, as the greatest state institution, but they did not feel that the removal would affect their relation to the campus. "The people only know," aald Senator Selleck, "that It will cost nearly 12,000,000 more to raise the university to the samo degree of efficiency at the farm than with out removal. In the ten years of -transition the work will be contused,. For a better Institution In the end we have only hopes, and I think e ought to have more than hopes for such a risk." He covered the arguments based upon the fact that many young men earn their way through school and would be hindered In this if the campuses are consolidated. The agricul tural school, he aald, would be completely swallowed tip. Senator Tibbets made a slight change in his motion to avoid any suggestion of criti cising the committee. Jansen of Gage said the campuses ought to be consolidated now instead of putting it off to some future time, lee of Boyd and Reagan of Douglas spoke for the re moval. They argued that the committee had spent time In considering the question and ought to be supported. line Mill Nufficlenl. Ollls explulned that the iwo regents In support of removal from the start have thought that a Vx-mlll levy would suffice and the - mill was suggested becauae It seemed to be well over the amount that would probably be absolutely necessary.
