The discussion will continue tomor- Tow under an agreement to begin vot- ing on amendments at 4 o'clock in e afternoon. The democratic lead- are confident the bill will pass by a large majority substantially as re- ported by the naval committee. Senators Lodge and Lippitt opened the attack today, declaring the bill would drive private armor plate man- t of business and inevi- tably al construction. Sen- itor Lodge said the government could not produce armor plate at the price is- experts estimated and that it would be almost criminal for the na- tion to cripple its armor plate capac- ity when a five-year navy building m was just being undertaken. ator Pittman said that the gov- ernment had no thought of dri private manufacturers out of 1 ness and insisted that if war should come the apmor plate plant of its own to plement the capacity concerns. Senator Hitchcock said manufacture of armor P sup- of the private Zovernment plate would tend to remove a suspicion that na- tional disputes were acgravated into wars by manufacturers who would profit by the sale of war material.

More Than the Previous Year, While the Western Roads Have Added About 16 Per Cent. — Washington, March 20.—Net reve- nues of eastern railroads of the United States have doubled within twelve months, sccording to figures made public today by the interstate com- merce committee; southern railroads increased their net revenue more than 50 per cent. within this period, while the western roads added about 16 per cent. The comparisons, covering the month of January, show that eastern roads received an average net revenue of $609 per mile operated compared with $307 peP mile a year previously; south- ern roads $316 per mile against $205 in 1915, and western roads $217 per mile against $187. Experts attribute the wide disparity in the ratio of in- crease between eastern and western roads largely to the poor showing of railroads in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and- Arizona, and, to some ex- tent, to the virtual cessation of com- merce with Mexico. Theé volume of business done by the railroads of the country, “he statement shows, is far in excess of the amount done-a year previously. Total receipts in January from all sources of the chief railroads of the country, including all whose income was more than $1,000,- 000, was $260,054,306, and total operat- ing expenses $182,881,269, leaving $77, 173,037 as net revenue. Deductions from this brought the net earnings down to $64,915,286. RIVAL CLAIMS OF FIVE NAVY YARDS TO PREFERMENT Were Argued Yesterday Before House Naval Committe. CARRANZA'S TROOPS IN BATTLE WITH VILLA'S In the District of Guerrero—Result of Battle Not Known. El Paso, Tex., March 20.—The forces of Colonel Cano were engaged in battle at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon with bandits led by Villa in Namiquipa, ac- cording to a despatch received this af- ternoon by General Gavira, Carranza commandant at Juarez. The result of the fighting was not decided at the time of the receipt of the despatch. Namiquipa is in the district of Guer- rero, state of Chihuahua. Colonel Cano is in command of that force of 900 cavalry which came in contact two days ago at El Valle with Villa forces, which on this occasion ! fled without giving battle. VILLA MAY BE FORCED INTO FIGHT (Continued from Page One) the ‘Washington, March 20.—The rival claims of five navy yards to prefer- ment in appropriations for enlarge- ment and equipment to be made in connection with the national defense program were argued today before the house naval commitfee. Senator Poindexter and Representa- tive Humphrey of Washington, ap- pearing in favor of the bill passed by the senate Friday to make $2,065,000 available for improvement, the BEre- merton yard at Puget sound, attacked the statement of Rear Admiral Ben- son, chief of' operations, before the committee last week, that the capital plant on the Pacific should be at San ‘Francisco. Arguments for the development of the yards at Norfolk, Charleston and Philadelphia, respectively, were made by Representatives Holland of Vir- ginia, Whaley of South Carolina and Vare of Pennsylvania, Proponents of the Bremerton plant said that as more than $11,000,000 al- ready had been spent there, the vard could be put into capital condition for a sum which would be nominal co; pared to the cost of the improveme Garcia, Carranza consul here and known to be in intimate relation with the first chief, maintains three is no danger of friction over the question of the shipment of American army sup- bl i oot % | plies over the Mexican railways.

The Associated Press unquestionable authority troops of the de facto government which had been stationed at Casas Grandes have been withdrawn and are now in and about Juarez. From the same source it was learned that at least one detachment of Carranza troops had refused to fight Villa and Plattsburg and on the hike last sum- mer.

Villa Moving Freely in Carranza Ter- ritory. The extraordinary rapidity with which the Amerjcan cavalry had pushed into Mexico gave rise to hizgh hopes yesterday that the unexpected had happened and the notorious ban- dit was cornered. This seemed inevi- table if the Carranza soldiers did their part and if the account of the strength of their field forces was correct. Vil- la cut off from the north by the for- ward sweep of the American columns from the west by the Sierra Madre barring the approaches to the state of Sonora, was supposed to be equal- ly barred from east and south by vowerful Carranza forces. It now seems certaln that Villa has been moving freely in at least a large part of the country supposed to be held by the trops of the first chief. In the last few days he has been variously reported by General Gavira, the Car- ranza commander at Juarez, at points along a line reaching north and south from Galena to Namiquipa, a distance of about 75 miles. By the same ac- counts he has not been moving stead- ily south, but roving north and east. The mountainous, canyon-split, road- INDICTED FOR MURDER OF HIS MOTHER. Richard L. McCormick, Recently Pa- roled from Insane Asylum. Cambridge, Mass., March 20.—Rich- ard L. McCormick of this city was in- dicted today for the murder of his mother, Mrs. John McCormick, on March 15. At a hearing in the lower court McCormick, who was recently paroled from an asylum for the insane, pleaded gullty, but the court ordered the plea withdrawn. less country in which he is operating They Stop the Tickle ® Mentholated Hoarhound adds many miles to the country he has covered as compared with its dis- tance on the map. The reason for the Carranza troops moving to the border remains unex- plained. It is impossible even to make a fair estimate of the number of men under Géneral Gavira at Jufirez. The large staff at his headquarters and the fact that new troops are arriving daily indicates that his force is a large one. The most conservative es- timate places it at 3,000 and calcula- tions range from that point upward to 8,000. Every precaution has been taken to prevent the facts being known and most of the men are kept outside the town among the hills. Re- ports from Agua Prieta and Ojinaga tell of Mexican reinforcements reach- ing those points also, but nothing is known as to their numbers. Uneasiness in El Paso.

This was explained today by Gen- eral Funston. General Funston said that the equip- ment for the trains would have to be moved across the boundary line into Mexico and that American crews would be used in Its operation. Guards would be carried on the trains and at some points along the line it would be ad- visable to have station guards. If General Funston's request for per- mission to use the railroad is granted, workmen will be sent forward imme- diately to make the repairs necessary the road in ehape would require eral days.

MALTED MILK San Antonio, Tex, March 20.—The There is no question but there is se- rious and growing uneasiness in El Paso, which has been sharply accen- tuated by the problem which has arisen over the request of the United States government to General arran- za for use of the Mexican railroads to transport supplies. Americans here do not believe that Carranza dare grant this request, especially as it is understood that General Funston pro- poses if it is granted, to take train crews and equipment into Mexico and place military guards at the stations. The presence of American soldiers on Mexico’s railroads, it is said, is likely to be misunderstood by the peons and it is feared would be sure to provoke outbreaks. On the other hand there are many indications here that the Mexican railroads are sorely needed by the American military authorities to ship supplies to the troops. ANOTHER BODY OF CAVALRY STARTS FROM COLUMBUS Accompanied by a Number of Civilian American Scouts. Columbus, N. M., March 20.—A large body of American cavalry left here today. The troops brought here from Texas border points were preceded by a motor train carrying supplies. ‘Whether the detachment will serve as a separate command in the effort to capture Francisco Villa or whether it is to join the punitive expedition force now in the fleld under General Per- shing somewhere in northern Chthua- hua was not indicated by military au- thorities here. Accompanying the troops were a number of American civilian scouts sald to know thoroughly the mountain trails of Chihuahua, in which Villa is reported to be fleeing.
