MEXICAN SOLDIERS WERE AGGRESSORS Fired on Cavalry Post and Ma " chine Gun Replied with , Five Shots By Associated Press. .'';-.. WashinBton, March; .' B. Mexican troops were responsible for the latest border fight near Douglas, Ariz., with troops ofthe ninth cavalry by firing the first shot, according to a repent to day from Brigadier-General Bliss.

Col Gll foyle makes no mention .of any casual ties, but says he has two troops with a machine gun on observation atthe points where the trouble occurred. He says no cause is known for the attack as no provacutlon of any kind was given by the American soldiers. 'General Bliss reports that he has instruc ted Col. Gullfoyle In case of a further attack not to return the fire unless It Is necessary to s protect the lives on the American sides. He also has cautoned hm to keep hs men un der cover as far as possble so as not to Invite hostile acts from irresponsi ble parties. Detailed reports which have reach ed the state department of the first collision between American troops and Mexicans near Douglas make it appear that this was the work of Maderistas and that while the Mexican federal troops were not at first involved they were iln the end drawn into the long range musket duel, and only one per son was wounded.

By Associated Press. Washington, March 5. When the democrats of the new senate met in caucus today to elect a chairman there was no opposition to Senator John W. Kern of Indiana, as the new leader. Senator Martin, of Virginia retiring democratic leader, declared a few days ago he was glad to lay- down the responsibilities of his ofice. The retirement of Senator Martin and the candidacy of Senate I'ern ends a long struggle for control of the senate of the 63rd congress between the so-called progressive democrats and the old conservatives.

Mr. Taft's entry in Augusta was Indeed triumphal. , "Citizen Taft" showed his apprecia tion of the great honor which the people of Augusta were paying him, purely because of their regard and affection for him, and the famous Taft smile was much In evidence from the time he left his pri vate car until an automobile whisked him and Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen away to their hotel where the ex-president of the country says that he will rest and recreate. 'I am impatient to get to my golf sticks," said Mr. Taft, "and I am, In deed, glad of the chance to come to Augusta for a few weeks."
