eau,ch Not Killed.

Ell PASO, Texas, Feb. 24.-That
Gustave Bausch, the American citizeh
arrested at Juarez as a Mexican feo-
aral spy February 15 not only was not
executed, but was actually released
last week In Juarez, was the unequlv-
ocal statement by General Francisco
villa, Mexican rebel chieftain TO-DAY
in an interview with an Ell Paso news
paper man at Chihuahua. He added
that II Bausch was not returned TO
his friends in Ell Paso 1t is his own
fault. This is in direct conflict with
an official statement made at Juarez
Yesterday that Bausch is in Chihua-
hua prison.
Constitutionalist officers IN Jnarez
attempted to discredit the interview
which was printed in morning news
paper here. The correspondent who
filed it has long been personal
friend Of Villa, however, and lls al
leges the rebel had attached his Q. Is.
to the statement before 1t was filed.
In the same interview Villa repeat
ed his previous statement that VIM.
| S. Benton, British citizen, was executr
ed by a firing squad only after he had
been legally convicted by court mar
tial of having attempted to murder
Villa. His statement regarding
Bausch follows:
Gustave Bauscli, arrested more than
! q week ago In Juarez under, suspicion
/ Of being q spy. was set tree IN Jaares
| He was not executed as reported sby
an Ell Paso newspaper upon the word
OF irresponsible men.
1 Neither was he brought to Chihua
Ihua, a prisoner. If he has not return
ed to his family in FL Paso-l under
i stood he has sister thrre-you may
rest assured he has taken advantage
of the opportunity afforded by the ex
4 citement OF the incident OF Benton, te
!! take his departure to soma other par
OF the country. He Is not in Ch1hua
hua and he was not executed by my
4 men In Juarez because l myself or
dered his release.

hension among Bausch's friends II

but Thos. D. Edwards, the American
consul, that Bausch was being helt

Mine Safety Law.

WASHINGTON Feb. 4.-The Penn
sylyania mine safety law requiring
coal companies to leave pillars of coal
to prevent cave-ins was declared valid
today by the supreme court in test
case brought by the Plymouth Coal
company, against David l.. Davis,
state mine inspector.
The Plymouth Coal company, of Lu-
zerne county, Pa, squarely challenged
the constitutionality Of the law. It
asserted that the law was an unreas-
enable exercise OF the states police
power and that IT could mine coal as
ii SAN fit. without interference from
state officials. The officials secured
an Injunction against the company,
the Pennsylvania courts upholding the
law. The law provides that owners
OF adjoining coal mines must SO mine
theirsco as to leave coal pillars
along adjoining property as supports
for the roof, to protect miners in case
OF explosions or foods. The law gives
the state mine inspector authority tC
prescribe the size and strength Of ths
pillars.
Excise Tax Law.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-The Ohio
excise tax law, among the most dras

4 four percent upon gross intra- state
earnings of railroads and special
taxes on other corporations doing

That the tax was discriminatory b,
providing different rates on differen

by the railroads. They also ASSERTED

REGISTRY
BILL TO Benefit
O'Gorman and Underwood
Say Pending Ship LegiSla-
tion Will Help Farmers
SEE SMALL FLEET
ON THE SEAS SOON
Bv The united Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-Benefits
expected for the American farmers
and manufacturers from the passage
of the pending ship registry bill were
described for the United Press today
by the men who led the fights for the
passage Of bill in the Houses of Con-
gress-Senator OGOrman in the Sen
ate and Representative Underwood, in
the House.
This bill will relieve an emergency
the dangers of which have scarcely
been realized" said O'Gorman. Il am
not positive that it will prove a pan
acea for all the ills Of the trans-Atlan-
tic commerce situation, as / am not
sure that enough ships will be attract
ed 10 the American flag, even under
the favorable conditions created by
this bill. But at least in doing this
we will have done an obvious thing
which we ought to have done. and
which will certainly provide a small
fleet, at least, of vessels, TO carry our
crops and manufactured products
abroad. and bring our American ref
ugees home.
Even II only a few ships come un-
der the American flag. such as those
of the United Fruit Company, and
other lines which are already owned
by American citizens. just that much
good will have been done, while, II
none at all should come in, which, II
course / don't believe, but some in
innate. then certainly no harm will
have been done.
81 do not share the fear of some that
this act win involve us in the European
conflict. Each case. where contro-
vcrsy should arise should be settled on
its own merits, without entangling this
nation at all, by prize court"
ut is futile TO say that nothing will
be accomplished by this BILL said Repre-.
sentative Underwood. "Every bit OF
tonnage that we bring TO the Americap
/ flag will help in this emergency.

fcertainly come in under this law ant

and products abroad the United Fruit

Canada MAY FIX PRICES
TO Prevent FOOD ''COUCE''

OTTAWA, Aug. l4.-Authority for
drastic action is to be asked of Parlia-
ment next week to deal with the food
supply question in Canada. The govern
ment will ask full power 70 deal with
any contingency that may arise and
will likely 60 even TO the extent Of
providing for the seizing of foodstuifs
by the government.
From different parts of the country
come murmurings of discomfort and
complaints of wholly unjustiiied in
crease in the price OF foodstufls Where
adjustment is necessary il is probable
that a Judge OF board of judges will be
appointed TO investigate, and their lind
ing will automatically fix the prices. In
any case, the people are not 20 be

The Minister of Labor has issued an
appeal 10 employers TO keep their estab-
lishments running aud 20 settle the dis
putes peacefully at a time when the

LATE NIGHT CRY Of
MURDER STARTLES
Drivers at Concord Crossing
Project Cause Alarm by
Shouts as Joke"
POLICEMAN WARD AND
OTHERS INVESTIGATE

Residents Of the section adjoining
Concord Heights were startled about
10 o'clock last night by hearing cries
that sounded like murder" from
distance. The shouts could be heard
for blocks. Some residents armed
themselves and started out to inves-
tigate. Patrolman John Ward, who
was home getting his supper, heard
the shouts and fastened to investi-
gate The cries came from the di-
rection of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and it was learned that
some of the drivers Of wagons haul
ing dirt from the grade crossing
elimination work there had set up
the cries, thinking it might prove a
joke Patrolman Ward warned the
drivers that a recurrence of such
shouts or other disturbing cries
would result in arrests.

"But the contention is made here that
we are going to violate the neutrality laws
if we pass the bill. What are we about
to dor We have already two years ago
passed a bill authorizing foreign ships
that were not over five years OF age to
take American registry. This bill
merely wipes out the five-ycar limita-
tion and allows all foreign built ves-
sells to take American registry, provid-
ed they are owned by American citizens
or American corporations.
"Some say this is not an emergency
measure. If We do not ship our agricul-
tural products TO the European mar
kets. it means disaster to every agricul-
tural community in the United States.
Only Ia per cent. of our total exports
can be moved in American bottoms.
What does Ia per cent. of our exports
mean? That tonnage if it continued
all the year around, would carry about
100000. 900 bushels of wheat-not
enough to carry your export wheat that
is to 90 ont this year. If the entire
tonnage of those ships were devoted To
carrying your export cotton, it would
carry only about 100000 bales-about
the normal export of the crop of Amer.
lea to Europe today-and no wheat.
"1he question is, shall your elevators
be crowded with wheat this fall, selling
at 25 cents bushe and surplus
stock on hand that destroys the price
Shall your warehouses be filled Will

sumo, while the price of your cottor
shall go down 90 four and five cents d

countries Of the world that need them

DR.. Collins in the afternoon took
occasion to speak about the European

Americans to raise the price Of food
products The present war, he said,
was brought about by the theory OF
"the divine right of kings" He said
II Is an outrage to advance the price
of flour and sugar when there is an
abundance OF II here. "The gamblers
get the surplus and not the farmers
who deserve &C." he said He de-
clared such practices TO be gambling

TAX ON NON DRINKERS
URGED ON CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA "water
wagon tax" is proposed ON non-drinkers
by John Boyle, of Washington, d. G.. in
memorial to the Ways and Means
Committee of the House.
Mr.. Boyle declares that as a principle
of the Democratic party, equal taxes
to all' is violated right and left by
doubling the tax on beer or whiskey for
the benefit of the treasury under Euro
pean war conditions, while the water
wagon procession is allowed to proceed
without paying a cent.
Mr.. Boyle says that there are 65,
100000 Americans ON the water wagon
and that if the government would tax
each one IS apiece il would relieve the
financial pressure on the drinkers, who
have to stand an added tax of about
$3.50 a year under the proposed in
crease.
