March 2.—After crossing the Atlantic from New York, in his wife's trunk, Captain Roewer, a German en- gineer, was detected by the British ot Kirkwall and interned, according to a story appearing in Danish newspapers today and forwarded by Reuter's Copen- hagen correspondent. Captain Roewer was an engineer at Kiap Chow, Chins. He escaped after the | capture of Kiao Chow by the Japanese and made his way to New York, whence he and his wife salled for Copenhagen. During the voyage he remained in his wife's cabin trunk during the day time, breathing through & ventilator and emerged from the trunk during the Mght. ruse, although it was noticed that excep- tonally large meals were served to Frau Roewer's cabin. At Kirkwall the captain left the trunk, fearing he would be do tected when inspectors searched the lug- gage. He was caught and interned. His wife reached Copenhagen yesterday.

No location of the temporary base is glven In the dispatch passed by the cen- sor, but yesterday's wireless Intimated that (eneral Pershing had established headquarters near Casas Grandes, from which point he was sending out columns In pursuit of Villa. Today's dispatch ap- | parently means that only 1,00 men, prob- ably picked cavalry, are actually engaged in the chase after the bandit in the moun- tain retreats in which he has taken refuge, while the remainder, about 4,000 In all, representing artillery, infantry and cavalry, are held at the Mexican base. Explains Why U. 8. Machine Guns “Lay | Down” at Columbus WASHINGTON, March 2.—An official report explaining that a difficulty o foading in the darkness was responsible | for the failure cf two cf the four weapons | of the Thirteenth cavalry's machine gin | troops n the fight with Villa and his | bandits at Columbus was received at the department today. Press dispatches telling of the guns jamming had caused Brigadier General Crosier, chief of | ordnance,"to order an investigation. | The seport, transmitted by the officer commanding the machine gun troops through the headquarters of the San Antonio arsenal, follows “The reason for the jamming of the machine guns during the fight last Thurs- day morning was not the fallure of the mechanism to function properly, but was due to the fact that the night was dark land it was difficult to load the guns. In loading the guns the feed strip has to be inserted In a narrow slot or guide | 1f the strip is not inserted properly in this guide the gun will fire about five shots and will then jam. This happened to two of my guns as it was so dark that it was almost imposasible to get the strips in the slots. The other two guns did not jam and the execution they did showed the value of machine gunfire.

VOTE MAY BE REACHED TODAY WASHINGTON, March 20.—By re- tusing definitely to increase the reg- ular army provisions of the Hay bill, the house today made it almost certain that the measure will go to the senate virtually as framed and by an overwhelming vote. Chairman Hay of the military committee was hopeful tonight that a final vote could be reached tomorrow. The net result of the day's debate on proposed amendments was to sustain the recommendation of the president as to the size of the regular army. The Hay bill carries virtually the program mapped out by former Secretary Garrison in this regard, but substitutes the federalization of the National Guard for the continen- tal army. The president has approved its general outline, but stands uncom- mitted as to detal Three Times Defeated. Three times during the day the house | defeated proposals to increase the peace strength of the regulars, fixed by the Hay bill at 140,000, expandable to 175,000 by ex- ccutive order it war s imminent. The de- bate centered upon the Kahn amendment to fix the authorized peace strength at 220,000, but the first vote was on a sub- stitute offered by Representative Fuller of Illinols to make it 250,000, The Fuller substitute was lost without a division. The Kahn amendment was voted down, 153 to 103, after rppeals for & larger standing army had been made by Representative Mann, republican leader, and other influential members of the minority, Only two democrats supported the Kahn amendment In debate and less than a dozen voted for it. About forty republi- vans voted against it, Reprosentative Crago, republican, of the military committee proposed to fix the strength at 200,000, but was voted down by a substantial majority, About Third Approved. With this outstanGing feature disposed of, consideration of the remainder of the bill went forward rapidly. About one- third of the measure had been rovieved and approved when adjournment for the day eame. The national guard, industrial reserve and nitrate plant sections are among those still to be considered. ‘When the measure reaches the senate it is possible that all but the enacting clause will be stricken out and the senate committee measure subatituted as a short cut to conference. The final measure must be written In conference as the senate and house proposals differ radically. Should the sen committee work out a combfnation of its own measure with tile house bill, however, it appears likely that the national guard, industrial re- lun-- and nitrate plant proposals of the H fil will be rotained while the sen- &te's figures of 178,00 peace strength for the regular army will be inserted with | the senate plan for creation of a third force of federal volunteers.

ARREDONDO AND POLK CONFER WASHINGTON, March 20.—The de facto government of Mexico to- day proposed to the United States the drafting of a protocol, under which American and Mexican troops may co-operate in running to earth Franciscp Villa and his bandits, without danger of misunderstanding or conflict. The terms of such a formal convention would be designed to meet all gdestions which may arise in the future, setting forth the rights of the American expedition- ary forces mow in pursuit of the bandit chieftain and the nature of the co-operatlon expected from the troops of the Carranza government. These facts became known at the conclusion of a conference between Eliseo Arrendondo, Mexican am- bassador designate, and Acting Sec- retary Polk of the state department. Negotiations on the details will be in progress for several days, but the two governments are in agreement on the general principles involved. Meanwhile, however, the troops of the de facto government actually are co-op-} erating’ with the American forces and, according to information received by the war department are planning to render even greater assistance. High military offici allowed it to become known that the Carranza government had promised to move u large force of its troops from central Mexico to the north forming a trap Into which the American cavalry- men under General Pershing may Chase Villa and his followers. ‘The proposal for the protocol, which it is-planned to have remain in force until Villa is captured, came from Mr. Arre- dondo and was a direct result of the re- quest of the United States for permis- sion to use the rallway between El Paso and Casas Grandes for the shipment of supplies to the American expeditionary forces. Mr. Arredondo is understood to have recelved instructions from General Carranza to discuss the request with the ate department and to propose the agreement by which a complete under- standing will be had by hoth govern- ments. ‘While the convention will provide for all matters such as the use of Mexican railroads by American troops, the specific request for permission to ship supplies from El Paso will be disposed of scp- arately. General Carranza has asked for additional information upon that subject and it will be forwarded to him imme- diately. State department officlals de- clined to discuss the nature of the infor. mation desired on the ground that while the negotiations are in progress they must be held to be confidential Italians Worry as Greeks Make Hay While Sun Shining ROME.

M., March 20.—A large body of American cavalry left here today. The troops, which were 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 field under General Per- shing somewhere in northern Chi. {huahua was not indicated by mili- tary critics here. \ Accompanying the troops were a number of American civillan scouts, | said to know the mountain trails of { Chihuahua, in which Villa is reported to be fleeing, as the city man knows his front yard. Plcturesque Group. Wearing the sombrero of the fron- tier, heavily roweled spurs and with little wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, bespeaking lives spent in the open, these scouts form what is said I to be the most picturesque group of men in the expeditionary force. Military men frankly admit that upon thelr knowledge of the district in which Villa is reported fleeing rests much of the hopa for the capture of the bandit It is these volunteers, many of whom Villa drove from their homes end their [preperty in Mexico, that are leading the American columns to water holes and the hiding places in the mountains in which the bandit and a few of his followers might seek to evade the American pur- suit.

In the opening statement of the defefive made by Attorney Albert Fink, sald Lor- imer had “absolutely nothing to do wita the loaning of the bank's money,” during the time between April, 1910 and July, 1912. At that time, Mr. Fink said, Mr. Lori- mer was too busy with his fight to retain his senate seat, to take part in the man- agement of the bank, other than to pre- side at its directors’ meelings. The dcfense, the attorney sald, will challenge the state to prove its charge that the bank insolvent when it closed in 1914 Publication of the story charging bri- bery in Mr Lorimer's election to the senate caused the withdrawal of a num- ver of persons who had subscribed for stock in the state bank, then about to bs organized, Mr. Fink said. The organi | tion of the national bank, which, accoi |ing to the original plans was to be yun In connection with the state bank, went on, however, after it had been decided not to open the other because of the with- drawals. was - Did Not Personally - Makefiliank Loansf } f BROOK] 7 THE “Is Back Of Every Bottle i’ GROTTE Geaeral Distributors Q (S BROTHERS CO.
