The federal garrison at this port. Is

active campaign against the constitution
;llsts who have begun to appear in great
numbers inland from Acapulco, have
failed to produce an effect, and talk of
a warm friendship between Mariscal and
Blanco has led to an investigation OF
General Mariscals loyalty. The situation
is regarded as important, in View of tn

Charged With Conspiracy
Salazar, who achieved distinction
through his raids on the Mormon colonies
in northern Mexico. is wanted at Santa
Fe, n. NJ, where he was indicted OF
charges of conspiracy to smuggle arms
and ammunition into Mexico. He was ar
rested in Eel Paso, but forfeited his bond
Orozco, also under Indictment, never was
arrested.
Salazar was playing cards in the train
when captured. He at once admitted his
identity and was taken to Maria to be put
under bond for his appearance in Santa
Fe. The military authorities, however,
prepared to re-arrest him and removed
him TO El Paso with the other federal
soldiers and generals who escaped 10 this

The capture of Salazar convinced the
border patrol that Orozco and caraveo

were hiding in Texas Salazar at first

BOWIE ARGUES
THE GLASSCASE
BEFORE SENATE
Claims No State Should Be
Deprived of Right to
Equal Representation
in Senate
ny c. e. STEWART

Washington, January 16.-(Special.) THE
argument of Sydney j. Bowie before the
privilege and election committee of the
Senate today on behalf of Frank p. Glass
was based upon the principles that the
old constitution provisions for selecting
a senator must remain in effect until
either the state legislatures or the fed
eral Congress enacted laws tor carrying
out the mandates of the constitutiona
amendment, and that under the constitu-
ton no state could be deprived of its
right to equal representation in the Uni
ted States Senate.
II was suggested by Senator Suther-
land and Senator Hughes that Alabama
was deprivng herself of equal representa-
ton prescribed by the amendment.
Says State Bound by Action
Mr. Bowie held that the state ought
not to be deprived of its senator because
the governor of that state for reasons
of his own would not call the legisla-
ture together in extra session. Senator
Sutherland contended that the state was
bound by the action of It's officials and
that they and not the Senate. were re-
sponsible for the fact that Alabama had
but one representative in the Senate.
1t was also pointed out that Mr.. Bowie s
contention that the seventeenth amend
ment should be declared imperative un-
til the various state legislatures met and
passed laws providing for the election oi
senators obtained that in some state
where the legislature met promptly and
enacted such laws senators would bs
elected by the people, while in Others
where for reasons of any nature the leg.
isatuer did not meet for year or so
senators would be elected in the old way
and there would thus be a conflict in the
states as to the method of electing sera-
tors and the election of senator's would
not be uniform.
An early decision by the committee is
looked for in both the Alabama and Mary.

Cause of the Accident
Not Determined

Plymouth. England, January 1.-two
officers and nine men comprising the
crew of the British submarine, "A-7,"
are trapped tonight in their craft be-
meath the waters of Whitesand bay. five
miles southwest of Plymouth. Wheth-
er the men are dead or alive has not

here tonight expressed the opinion

pany with the "A-S" and "A-9," made

gagged in maneuvers Her sister ships
came to the surface at the end of the
maneuvers but nothing has been seen
of the "A-7" since she opened her
valves and dived. At first it was be-
yeved the "A-7p was merely oyerstay-
ing her allotted time beneath the water,
but when officers realized their sister
boat was in distress they sent out sig
nails for aid.
Rescue Boats to Scene
Rescue boats which were rushed to
the vicinity where the "A-7" went down
threw out graphing irons and dragged
the bay all afternoon and until dark
ness set in. Their efforts were fruit
less for never once was there tug
at a chain to indicate that the iron
sides of the plunger had been struck.

The "A-7" was in charge of Lieut..
Gilbert M. Wellman, who had as an
aide another officer. A number of the
seamen aboard We're making their first
trip in a submarine.
The cause of the accident is not
known. Whether the submarines ma
chinery became disabled or whether
she tore a hole in herself is the merest
speculation Naval officers estimate
that in case the vessels hull has not
been punctured the men on board her
might at least live IL hours beneath
the water.
Sixth to Come to Grief
This is the sixth submarine of class
"a which has come to grief. and the
question is being raised whether the
government ought not to abandon this
type of boat in favor of the more mod
ern vessels of the &C" and 3D. classes
The "A-7'' was built in 1904, and meas
ured $50 feet in length. Her submerged
displacement was 204 tons. Her en-
gines developed 900 horse power, which
gave her surface speed Of 16 knots
and a submerged speed of nine knots.

Cities are decorated factories are
closed down, merchants have sus-
pended business, and in scores or
communities with populations run
ming from 5000 to 100000 spectacu-
lar parades were to be feature Of

marched in parades, carrying banners
and banners and pennants on which
were phrases telling facts about
health and disease, Hundreds of
floats portrayed in some manner, i'm
