INQUIRES OF PLAN 10 MOVE OFFICES Ransdell Hears Emergency Fleet Corporation Might Leave Capital. DY The Senate yesterday adopted & resolution offered by Senator Rams- dell of Loulsiana, calling upon the Shipping Board to inform the Senate If there was auy plan on foot to move the offices of the Emergency Fleet Corporation to New York. Before the adoption of the resolu- tlon, Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the Senate commerce committee, announced that he had asked Lelgh C. Palmer, president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, if | there was any proposal to move the !l‘[euk corporation's offices to New or] “Mr. Palmer told me that it had never entered his head to move the offices to New York,” said Senator Jones. Senator Jones said that while he belleved it would be a mistake to move the offices of the fleet corpo- Iration to New York, on the other hand it would be a good thing to move them away from Washington and the influence of Congress. 3 He deplored congressional inter- ference with the operation of the American Merchant Marine and urged that the fleet corporation be allowed to handle the ships as directed In the new plan adopted at the suggestion of the President. {AMMUNITION TRAIN - SEIZED IN MEXICO: Huerta Agent Here Tells of Rebel Victory on West Front February 11.

Several generals are said to have been killed in action, but their names are being withheld by orders of President Obregon himself. “A recent circular to all command- ing generals in the fleld, signed by de 1a Huerta, gives the disposition of the various columns into which the forces on the eastern front have been divided, indicating the rencwal of revolutionary activities along guerrilla_lines throughout southern Mexico.
