NOTHING DOING
FOR OIL STORAGE
COMMITTEE AT DANIELS SUG-
GESTION DROPS $15o,ooo AP-
PRoPRiATlON FROM BILL.

Washington, D. c., June 17.-Therc
will be nothing doing this year to-
ward establishing an Il! storage sta
ton in Oklahoma or Texas 70: use
of the navy on the gulf coast The
provision inserted in the naval APP
priation bill by Senator Gore of Okla
homa appropriating $150,OOO for such
purpose was dropped by the confer
ence committee at the suggestion of
Secretary Daniels of the navy de
partment
When Senator Gore offered his
amendment eastern senators sought
to make a point of order, but per-
mitted the provision to go through
when informed that large sums were
appropriated for naval oil storage on
the New England and Pacific coasts
and on the south Atlantic coast. Prox-
unity of the gulf coast to the Texas
and Oklahoma oil fields was the fac
tor in the Gore amendment.
Secretary Daniels said today that
the undertaking was a large one and
that no plans had been made for it,
and it would be impossible for this
year. The navy department is re-
corded in favor of the government
pipe line from the Mid-Continent
field of Oklahoma to the gulf. Had
the amendment remained in the bill
Galveston, Houston and Port Arthur,
as well as Oklahoma points, would
have been applicants to be made
storage stations.

WASHINGTON. CAPTAIN AND
CHIEF ENGINEER SUICIDE.

Washington, ID. c., June 1.-THE
Huerta gunboat Guerrero defeated and
probably sank the constitutionalist gun
boat Tampico near Mazatlan. Admiral
Howard reported today.
The captain and chief engineer of
the Tampico committed suicide follow
ing their defeat.
The engagement took place last
night off Topolobampo. Some of the
Tampico's crew were rescued by the
cruiser New Orleans and the Guerrero
rescued the others.
If the Tampico was not sunk it is
certain she is badly disabled This is
the second time that a constitution

FOUNTAIN FOR
COURT HOUSE YARD
SUGGESTED THAT CIVIC BEAUTY
CLUB DONATE ONE-PLACE AL.
READY PREPARED.

When the board of county commits
sioners erected the present court
house and laid off the grounds about
the building, someone on that board
had an eye for beauty and the flower
plot III front of the building was the
result Of this suggestion, another
happy thought struck him about this
time and in laying the water mains
a connection was made, pipe laid and
capped for fountain, should one be
erected at some future time.
At a recent meeting held in the
courthouse it was suggested that
movement be started through the To-
cal civic beauty club to raise funds
and install a fountain in this plat.
1t is argued that such an ornament
would not cost very much and would
add greatly to .he beauty of the lawn,
the plat at present being planted in
flowers, and fountain in the center
would add greatly to the general
beauty Of the grounds and buildings
The suggestion was made in the
hope that it would inspire the good
Wcmen of the civic league to take
ection in the matter, and it is safe
to predict if they do the fountain
will flow.

meet at the office of ]. r. Penning-

A suggestion that the whole matter
be dropped and a deal" made with

and it was positively stated that Ard
more was going to comply with her
part of the contract, even if delayed
somewhat in doing so.
The committee is confident that
it can collect this money in two
days and are going to put in that
much time at least.

Mo Permanent Breach

Washington, ID. c., June 17.-Consu-
tutionalist leaders here do not inter
pret Villas actions of last night as
meaning a permanent breach between
Villa and Carranza. Villa resigned his
commission and imprisoned the Car
rama leaders in Juarez.
The constitutionalists explain that
Villa was determined to rid himself
of the politicians associated with Car
rama and who had issued orders with
out authority embarrassing Villas
movement Carranza is reported to
have felt that the trouble would ad-
lust itself, but Villa took the initiative.
Constitutiona!ists here expect Villa
TO take supreme command in northern
Mexico as he insisted, and that Car
rama will compose the other differ
ences.
Ell Paso, Texas, June 16.-General
villa rendered his resignation to
General Carran2a within the last
week, it became known tonight.
To Villas message the constitutions
alist commander-in-chief replied, ask
ing who would succeed him.
Following this, Villas military
chiefs held conference and sent
a round robin" to Carranza, declar-
ing they would accept none other
than Villa as a leader The split OF
today resulted.
General Villa tonight ordered all
commanders of garrisons throughout
the territory he controls to report
at once at Torreon. This order was
accepted ominou3ly by observers here.
History of the Pascual Orozco rebel
lion against President Madero was re,
yived.
Orozco, like Villa, was a leader of
volunteer troops CT Chihuahua state,
and as a popul II favorite led a revo-
luton against the former president.
Carranza's offices at Juarez were
confiscated by Villas supporters to-
night.
Similar confiscations were authen-
tically reported to have taken place
at Chihuahua city and at Torreon,
where Villa remained today.
The seizure of the offices in Juarel
tonight was taken here as conclusive
evidence of the lcng-predicted split
between CarranZa, leader of the con-
stitutionalist revolution, and Villa, his
most successful chieftain.
Holds Northern Mexico.
Private advices received here at
la late hour told of similar action in
taking over Carranza offices at Chi
huahua city and Torreon, evidently
placing the entire northern part of
Mexico in the power of Villas mill
tary leaders.
In addition to the information bu-
reau and telegraph office, it later
was learned that the customs house
iand the treasury department az
Juarez had been confiscated by Villas
Forces.

After violent fighting the Germans
occupied the northern canal system

FEDERATION THIS EVENING
Representatives of Various OrganiZa-
tons VIII Meet With Chamber
of Commerce Committee.

A meeting of representatives Of all
benevolent organizations viii be held
at the Chamber of Commerce build
ing tonight when definite steps will
probably be taken toward effecting a
consolidation organization.
AS a result of the meeting last Sun
day afternoon when representatives
of the city charities and philan-
thropies were present to confer with
members OF the Commerce Chamber
regarding the plan, Pres't Harry A.
Engman, jr., has appointed a special
commerce committee to meet with the
representatives tonight.
The committee consists of L. p.
Hardy, L. G.. Manning, Mrs. j. NJ.
Studebaker, Gertrude Oliver, Mrs.
Thomas Olney. +. Louis Kuhn and w.
+. Crabill. Statistics will be present
ed showing the deficits of the various
organizations and statements will be
presented to give the meeting an idea
of the amount of money given every
year in South Bend for charities.
Should the chamber accept the task
of taking all the organizations as a
city federation under its wing, it
will mean that a campaign will be
launched probably before the end of
the year to raise a fund to be ap-
prOpriated among all the charities Of
the city. Each charity will set forth
the money needed giving a statement
Of where it will be expended and
these and other information facts
will be placed before the contributors
by the commerce body and the donor
will be asked to make a single con-
tribution appropriating specific sums
to the various charities he may wish
his money to go to. The commerce
body will only act as a medium for as
sisting in the raising of the funds.
