Chosen for Three Years.

ing directors were elected for term OF
three years:

The directors will meet on April Is to re-
organize.
A statement by Chairman Gary was in
part as follows:
I'VE are very well satisfied with the
amount of business we have done and the
profits we have realized during the last
fifteen month";
When the steel corporation was organ
lied the total capacity of the finishing mills
was somewhat like 1900 or 1900 tons a
day. At the present time the producing
capacity Is nearly double that amount.
"Therefope, although the mills are not
running to more than about 10 or 70 per
cent Of their capacity. you will see that
this Is very much more than the total
capacity at the time the corporation was
organised.
I'VE started out with about 90 per cent
of the total business OF the country and
at present we have about IS per cent on
the average. We DO not intend to have
more than SO per cent"

and his troops IL to evacuate the city. II
Is not believed here that the Mexican gov
eminent will give General Navarro any
instructions 20 abandon his Well fortified
position in JuRrez. DR.. Gomez has warned
HE colleagues. however. to proceed
cautiously and likewise has advised the
Mexico City authorities that timely action
on peace proposals would prevent a heavy
loss Of life.
The purpose OF the insurgents In moving
on Juarez is the establishment OF quarters
there. They declare they would not be
unwilling IL in possession Of Juarez to con
der peace proposals. being then within
easy telegrsphic communication with El
Paso and San Antonio. Tex. and Washing
ton, where the leaders Of the insurrection
are in charge Of the revolutionist agencies.
Movement strategic One.
II was said here today that similar plans
are in view with regard to Aqua Prieta in
the event that the in urgents are able 10
retain their occupancy OF that point The
idea in assembling the main body Of the
insurgents in Chihuahua is to be able to
throw their force either in the direction
of Juarez or Aqua Prieta as the fortunes
Of war may require.
The last word from Madero received here
indicated that he personally would be in
charge outside Juarez. He may temporarily
have been diverted to Aqua Prieta, how
ever.
In the meantime DR.. @ )mez is awaiting
with much anxiety reply to his message
Of last week 20 Francisco |. Madero jr..
requesting definite instructions for peace
proposals. Gomez intends to transmit the
answer to Mexico City Immediately on its
receipt here.
There was a rumor in Mexican circles
today that DR. Gomez also was endea vorins
to arrange with the Mexican government
for an armistice impos ng the status quo
on both sides, but afofrdins the principals
in the revolt an opportunity to communi-
cate definitely about terms Of peace In
such a contingency, it was pointed out,
DR.. Gomez would join the Maderos and
other insurgents in San Antonio and Ell
Paso.

MaderO on Way 10 Aqua Prista.
Ell PASO, Tex, April H-According to
reports received here today from source
deemed reliable, Francisco ]. Madero. jr.,
chief Of the insurrecto forces, is now on his
way to Aqua Prieta. where, II is believed,
he will set up his headquarters. The last
authentic reports regarding the where
abouts of the insurrecto leader placed him
in the neighborhood Of MADEIRA. in the
northwestern part of the state Of Chihua-
AAuat runway belWccH aqua FTletd ana the
city Of Chihuahua. According to some re-
ports Madero was at the head OF the insur-
recto force advancing upon Juarez. which
engaged the federal troops at Bauche last
Saturday and which has since disappeared.
These reports. however, received no con-
! firmatlon and II is considered more than
probable that the insurrecto chieftain left
MADEIRA for Aqua Prieta, a distance Of
about 80 miles, when news OF the capture
of the latter place reached him Members
OF the insurrecto junth here profess ignoT-
anoe of MadeTo's exact whereabouts.
Whether this move on the part OF the

abandoning OF the advance on Juarez is a
matter Of surmse, but the fact remains
that the rebel army that battled with the

Naturalists Busy on Canal Zone

ENCOURAGING reports are being re-
Il ceived by the Smithsonian institu-
ton from the naturalists who are TAX
ing part in the biological survey of
the Panama canal zone, which was or
gani7ed by the institution last winter
The principal branches of natural his
tory are represented in the party,
which includes seven experienced field
naturalists, nearly all of them from
the scientific bureaus Of the govern
ment.
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological
survey, because when the canal is
opened sweeping changes probably will
take place in the distribution Of the
animals and plants. A part Of the
fresh water streams of the isthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific.
1t Is known that a certain number
Of animals and plants in the streams
on the Atlantic side differ from those
Of the Pacific side, but as no biological
survey has ever been undertaken the
extent and magnitude of these differ
ences have yet to be learned.

department of city government came
into being-the court Of domestic re-

cutor," is in reality to. be "chief as.

ders brought to the bar were adults.

paradox, as the adult Juvenile court"
Both Judge Goodnow and Prosecut-
or Hills are married men and their
wives are taking deep interest in
the new court, which is the second IF
it's kind in the United States. Both
have volunteered to aid their hus-
bands in carrying out their new du-
ties. Judge Goodnow declared that he
expected to ask his wife for great

uYASHINGTON.- Cummins
" Of Iowa, as chairman Of the com.
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ment, proposes to push the consrdera-
ton Of a comprehensive civil service
measure-one that will provide for
the designation by law of all places
under civil service classification, in.
stead of leaving them to executive or
der, and which will regulate promo
tons and retirements.
AS member of the committee on
Interstate commerce he already has
done some work on bill to reorgan-
lie the interstate commission, in
creasing it's membership and dividing
1t into five parts, these parts to have
jurisdiction respectively over sections
Of the country corresponding to the
traffic divisions as designated by the
railroads.
1t is not certain that the scheme
for reorganization of the interstate
commerce commission will be ad-
vanced beyond the preliminary stage
at this extra session.
With respect to the subject first
mentioned, however, it is the inten-
tion to introduce bill within a short
