Ell Paso, Tex, Mar 15.-The sumggl-
ing of arms and ammunition across the
border into Mexico from here must
cease, is the order received by the
federal officers here today, supposed
to have emmanated from Washington
on representations from the Mexcans
government that the insurrectos drew
much of their supplies from FL Paso.
The fifteen Americans captured at
Casas Grandes are still in prison there, i
Mexican authorities here assert. The
insurrectos however say they have
assurances from Maderoa that thef
Americans will never be seen again. !.
Calexico Cal, Mar 15-Firing from
the American side of the international
line, the Mexican customs officials at
Algodenez today sent volley into thee

firing across the line into the AmeriS

was inaugurated local agencies were
placed in all county seats. There was
submitted to the people a provision
through which it was sought to place
agencies in all towns of 1000 people
or more, but this failed. and with it the
people repealed the state agency law.
Through error of submission, how
ever only the extension plan fell, but
public sentiment was so pronounced
against the system as a whole the
former administration closed local
agencies where liquor could be pro-
cured upon physicians prescriptions,
save where the county seat town petit
toned for it, Under this plan the num-
Der did not exceed twenty-five and
these dwindled to eighteen, the num-
Der today The job of local agent was
not remumerative. The man in charge
had TO make a heavy bond, and then
received small per cent on the sales.
If there is anything in penalties, the
amended law will retard violations, for
it is fixed in three degrees, with the
third calling for Imprisonment in the
penitenuary from one to five years.
For the first offense it is a fine of $50
to $500 and from thirty days to six
months in Jail. while for the second
tho fine may be from $500 to $1,000 and
from six months to twelve months in
Jail 1t is provided that the court
m, It ntencc the accused within ten
days after conviction, and under the
Administrations policy of denying pa
roles in liquor cases the only prospect
an accused may look to is laying his
time out in jail
The legislature gave the governor
no appropriation for enforcing terms
of the prohibition law, and if he enl-
ploys state enforcement officers it will
eigther have to be out of his contin-
gent fund or the state agency fund,
providing anything is left after clos
ing that department. The first and
second legislatures appropriated s15,-
600 per year for enforcement work,
and the first Legislature gave $4,000
to start the state agency. 1t has never
been shown that the agency made any
money when enforcement of the law
was considered. However, on the sale
of liquors it was able to shew a sur

Democrats Are Preparing to Go Before
County in 1912 With Pruning

Washington, D. c., Mar. Is. = The

TEN is to be tried first on the seven
governmental departments, according
to plans being made by the leaders
of the next house. Departmental in
vestigations are to be among the first
activities of the new majority and pre-
parations for them are now being made
in the meeting of the ways and means
committee.
The primary reason for the general
character of the Investigations is that
reports may be made to and adopted
by the house unseless offices on the de-
partments and recommendations for
economy. The democrats have in mind
the statement of G. D. Norton, the
presidents secretary, in a speech at
Chicago that George washington ran
the government with 1876 employees,
while the present force is 411,322, and
they are prepared to go before the
country in 1912 with the pruning knife
sharpened and ready for use by dem
ocratic president and democratic con-
gress-
In several of the departments, how
ever, while economy will be looked to.
a rigorous search will be made for ex-
pected irregularities as a result of the
sixteen years in which the republicans
have been in power The postoffice
department, the department of justice
and the department of the interior will
be subjected first to inquiries. The
trial of former Secretary Ballinger is
to be closely followed; the many COM
plants against the double employ
ment of the postmaster general, Hitch
cock, as chairman of the republican
national committee and as cabinet
officer, are to be looked into and aired:
and there will be a search for proof of
the frequent allegation that, notably
in preparing the railroad bill of 1919,
Attorney General Wickersham has
been guided by the views of railroad
presidents.

years that billion dollar sessions are
guilty of needless extravaganza, to re

ALLEN HART'S BODY
FOUND IN CREEK
Believed to Have Wandered to Cabin
Creek And to Have Fallen in
And Drowned.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Late yesterday afternoon the news
reached this city that the body of a
man had been found floating in Little
Cabin creek, southeast of town. Sheriff
Rideahour, with Undertaken Lewis
Rogers and several citizens hurried to
the scene. The body was found to be
that of Allen N. Hart, who had wan.
dered from his home near Timber Hill
several days ago, and had since been
lost, Hart was twenty-seven years
old and was married. 1t is thought
that his mind became deranged, and
that he had accidentally fallen into
the creek and drowned. He has q
father and two brothers living near
Bluejacket. These relatives came to
Vinita today and took the remains to
that place for burial.
The drowned man was first discov-
cred by Joe Daugherty, an Indian
farmer. living near the scene of the
drowning. When the body was re-
covered, it was badly swollen and the
skin had begun to slough, but was
easily identified by the clothing and
by ring on one of the fingers. 1t
is thought the body had been in the
water about four days.

PROVISIONS OF new
PROHIBITION LAW
Measure Goes Into Effect June Next
individual Possession Of Liquors
is Limited.

Oklahoma City. Mar 15.-upder
terms of the amended prohibition law,
which does not so into effect until June
g. the amount of intoxicants one may
legally possess is limited to one gal
lon of liquor or wine and one cask
of beer at residences and one quart
at places of business or places of
amusement
It is specifically provided that such
liquor shall not be used for Illegal pur.
poses, and while there was some criti-
cisms of any legal recognition in
amount, friends of the law believe
that by fixing a maximum the law Will
strike at the bootlegger who has been
using the residence or business right
to protect him in his possession of in
toxicants.
1t is pointed out that joints in small
towns were operated under the claim
that liquor found in possession of the
jointist was not for his personal use.
notwithstanding the amounts ran into
the car load, As drawn, the bill
sought to recognize no amount one
might possess, but in order to get the
legislation through advocates of the
measure compromised,
The legislature declined to give the
governor power he asked for to remove
county officers who refused to apply
the law, but instead gave him author
ity to employ state enforcement OH
GERS whom he may place in any county
where the law is not being applied.
Such state enforcement officers have
the powers of sheriffs in all counties
of the state. There remains the court
procedure by which derelict officer
may be removed from office The pro
vision referred to was another COM
promise made by the advocates.
After three years experience, the
state and local dispensaries will be
abolished and all liquor spilled as soon
as adjudicated contraband. There is
now on hand at the state dispensary
several thousand dollars worth of con-
fiseated liquor, which the department
will dispose of for benefit of the
