WASMIMJTDS, April T.-Scnator Martin of Virginia, at the democratic senate tau cut, wbm today selected as permanent cau cua chairman and minority leader during the pi client congress, lie received 21 out of the 3T votes cast, IS (coins; to Senator Benjamin F. Shlvely of Indiana, who was then elected vie chairman. Senator V. V. Chilton of Went Virginia j vat elected secretary of the caucus, the j two last named place having been filled i by acclamation. Senator Owen declined a le-electlnn as secretary. The expected long contest did not de .op. I'rlor to the session the progressive c.er.incrat, as the followers of William Jennings Bryan prefer to be designated, met In tha office of Senator Owen to can vass the situation. Several found them selves In an embarrassing position because of pledges made many weeks ago that they would support Mr. Martin. It waa decided that the progressives should vole for Senator ' Xewlaads of Nevada, as Senators Culberson of Texas and Stone of MlHaourl.both declined to be come candidates. The plan waa changed In the caucus, however, .when It was learned that Mr. Shlvely, who was the vice chairman under the leadership of Sen ator Money during the last congress, would not object to receiving the complimentary vote of thosa who would nut vote for Mr. Martin. Martin First Progressive Man. ( Several of the progressives conoeded that Senator Martin could not be defeated. Failure to upset his candidacy was due partly to his having been originally hrnugl t out aa the candidate of the Bry an following, led by Senator Stone, to pre vent the election of either Senators Bailey or Bacon. Both of these senators, gen erally known as the regulars, were op posed hy the proKie.islves. It scorned for a time that Mr. Martin would bo elected unanimously, but Mr. Bryan wanted an out and out progressive named and frankly told aome of the new democratic senators that they were throw ing away their opportunities. Mr. Martin was nominated by Senstov Clarke of Arkansas' and Senator Bhively by Senator Kern of Indiana, tha running i mate of Mr. Bryan In the lust campaign. Senator Stone Seconded the Shlvely nomination. The thirty-seven votes cast acount for the democratic strength ex cept four. Senators Tillman of South Carolina. Terrell of Georgia and Shlvely were absent because of Illness, and Sen ator Martin did not vote. The roll call follows: For Martin Bacon, Bailey, Bankhead, lran of Florida, Chilton, Clarke, Cul hertson, Fletcher, Foster, Johnston, Over man, I'aynter. Ferry, Rayner, Simmons, Smith of Maryland. Swanson, Taylor, Thornton, Watson and Williams. For Bhi vely Chamberlain, Davis, Gore. Hitchcock, Juhnson of Maine, Kern, Iea, Marline, Myers, Newlands, COorman, Owen. Fomcrene. Heed, Smith of South Carolina and Stone. llryaiilam In Bac-kacroand. Tlin fact that the battle had been fought in advance of the caucus enabled the demo crats to keep in the background all of tha Hryan and niill-Hijan sentiment mani fested during the preliminary scrimmages. The friend of Senatos Martin decided that inasmuch as they had the votes to elect their candidate. It would be folly to bring that question Into the caucus. The appointment by Chairman Martin of a steering committee, which will also serve as a committee on committees, was au thorised by the caucus. The committee will have to report Its prograui for the filling of vacancies on standing committees to the caucus Itself. A statement Issued by Senator Owen, (Contlnued on Second Page.)

The jp)nton was rendered In the case of the Millinery Jobbers' associa tion against the American Express com pany and others.

HERO IN UNMARKED GRAYE Soldier Who Died in Line of Duty is Buried Without Ceremony. JUAREZ HUMS WITH RUMORS Insnrreetv Junta at Kl ro Declines to ;lve Over Rebellion at the Solicitation of the Mi dero Family. (From a Staff Correspondent.) EI, PASO. TexasApril 4. -(Special Cor respondence.) There was no flag-draped casket on a gun carriage for Manuel Sa nora the Mexican hero w"iO';st his life 'Saturday night when he attempted to sx- tract the fuse from a lighted bomb In a patio Culdad Juares. Not a single com rade or officer aocompanlrd his remains to the Juarez cemetery Sunday afternoon. And when his body was lowered into the yellow earth no trumpet sounded "taps" and no flag fluttered downward. The mili tary authorities furnished a plain pine casket that was all and when It waa time for this to be taken to the cemetery, loungers were requested to help handle It. At the cemetej the casket was lifted from the hearae by the undertaker and a helper and dropped Into the yawning grave. Only freshly handled dirt today serves to show where this man Is interred. There Is no stone or headpiece of wood to mark It. His wife and several children In Chihuahua have not yet heard of the tragedy, but when they do the widow will dry her eyes, knowing that her brave husband died for his country. The investigation of the bomb throwing Sunday morning is being prosecuted slowly and with little reault. Most of the thlrty teven persons arrested near the scene of the disaster deny, with frightened faces, that they even heard the explosions, which woke all of Juarez, Jarred every atom for miles around and rang the bells In the quaint old mission of Cluadalupe. "If It please the senor, Jefe politico. 1 did not hear anything unusual. Explosion? What explosion'.'" and thus are all o.ues on him to surrender the city and warning hi. ii tat he will be held responsible fpr the promulgation of the suspension of guran tes law. A large number of soldiers passed the night on top of the governor's house, others Inside and a sentinel stood In front of the door all nlttht. but no one knew how the document arrived.

Knsenada being a port near the American line, has long been a center of smuggling operations, and the fact that these 2o0 Asiatics have accumulated there since the order of troops to the boundary to prevent filibustering.
