Sweeping Order from White House. Washington, Feb. 24. Determined that no more American lives shall be sacrificed as a result of .fighting on the Mexican border, the United" States " troops along the Rio Grande were re enforced today and orders given' that firing into American territory must be stopped, even though it be necessary to cross the boundary line to enforce compliance. The order, - the most sweeping that-has gone out from the White House in the present situation, was issued after a conference between President Taf t, Secretary .v of .War Stimson and Acting Secretary of ,State Huntington Wilson. . -,- f y. ,' In addition to sending another regF ment of infantry and three catteries of field artillery to the Mexican .line, orders were issued to division toni manders throughout the country', to bold their commands in readiness, to, ffiove at a moment's notice. Theacute situation in Mexico has had the effect of putting the army establishment in high state of preparedness," and mo bilization on the Rio Grande could' be effected quickly, if the occasion arose. The Mexican government, it Is un derstood, will be advised of the inten tion of the United StateU to prevent &t all hazards a repetition of the cas ualties due to stray bullets 'coming across the line, which marked ' the nghting-during the Madero revolution at several towns along the border." A neutral zone along the border ould be instituted in which fighting Jist cease. This zone, the United states intends to have respected, as evidenced by today's White House con ference and resulting orders. -" Revolutionaries Raiding Ranches ' Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 24.

Representative Norrls, of Ne- nraska, and Lenroot of Wisconsin, In surgent leaders, Insisted that the re strlctlons placed, upon the Banking and' Currency Committee by the' words "within the Jurisdiction of said com mittee" would prevent It from making any sweeping inquiry, and would pro hibit It from considering the opera tions of the New York Stock Ex change, the New York Clearing HOuse, or tb.e shifting of money reserves by private parties,- to meet alleged de mands of financial interests.- -.. The: united Democratic forces car ried Mr. Henry's motion for the pre vious question, after two hours debate, by a vote of 170 to 106, This was the point, at which the Democratic split had been expected.
