 COMPLICATIONS
Representations Are Sent ConstitutiOnalist Chief of Danger Arising from In- reference With Diplo- matic Corps in Mexico
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Feb F. Repre- sentations have been sent by the United States to CarranZa pointing out that serious complications may follow interference with representa- tives of the diplomatic corps in Mex ico in discharging their official func- tiOns. It is understood no specific reference was made to the Belgian and Spanish ministers. both of whom were expelled from Mexico by Car ranza.
 Consul Canada telegraphed the state department that Jose Caro, Spanish minister, reached Vera Cruz this aft ernoOn and immediately went aboard a Spanish trans Atlantic liner. He will go to Havana
 The communication to CarranZa will also be shown to Obregon at Mexico City by John Silliman. personal rep resentative of the president. It is of a general character covering the deli cate situation of all the diplomats in the Mexican capital. While officials are reticent to discuss the communica- tions, it is understood that in friendly, but firm spirit the Washing ton government pointed out it will be 10 Carranza's interest to accord the diplomats facilities for communicating with their governments and all the usual courtesies of their positions. No indication was given as to what course the American government would pursue if this is not complied with, but the implication that serious complications might ensue if foreign governments withdrew their diplo- matic representatives, are said to have been conveyed.
 Eliseo Arredondo. Carranza's rep resentatie here, gave the following statement supporting his chiefs act in deporting the Spanish minister:
 ''Deplorable as the incident may be, it should he thoroughly understood that MT. Carranza as first chief of the constitutionalist army. and in charge of the legislative power in Mexico, has not in any manner dis regarded the customs of international law, nor shown lack of considera- tion of the cordial friendship and respect he has for the government of

Fight Over the Government sShip Purchase Bill Shifts from House and New Filibuster is Now Being Organized
BILL OR SUBSTITUTE
 MUCH IN DOUBT
The Administration Hardly Likely to Entertain Com promise Agreeing Gov ernment Retire Two Years After Close of War
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The fight over the government ship purchase
 bill shifted from the senate to the
 house and new filibuster started
 in the senate against the cloture rule
 designed to forcibly terminate the
 filibuster against the ship bill. Some democratic leaders said there was no
 hope of passing even the ship pur- chase substitute because the admin istration insisted that the govern ment be put permanently in some form of shipping activity and refused to consider measures designed to ter minate the government interest two years after the termination of the European war.
 Administration forces are now pre- pairing some form of a shipping bill to be forced through the house if possible.
 The proposed new bill in the house developed after Postmaster General
 Burleson went to the capitol and definitely recommended a compromise advanced by Representative Kitchin
 of North Carolina. It provides purely temporary measure, taking the government out of the shipping busi-
 ness two years after the war is over Kitchin declared the conferences as- sured the passage of his measure through both houses.
 The administration coupter proposal as now being framed would organize la shipping board with a s40000 900 appropriation to engage in shipping for a period ending two years after the close of the war. The ships would then be turned over to the
 secretary of the navy to be leased or operated in merchant service at his discretion. The point of keeping the government permanently in the ship
 ping business is insisted upon by the administration and opposed with
 fiibuster by the republican and in surgent democrats.
 The Weeks bill which will be re-
 tained in the compromise measure
 provides navy mail lines and author izes the secretary of the navy to em- ploy available navy vessels at his dis
 erection in general mail freight and passenger service.
 Representative Kitchin and other
 house leaders said tonight that with this proposition in the measure it would be impossible to force it through the senate in this congress. , The administration proposal, which
 embraces the Weeks bill for the or
 ganiZation of a merchant marine naval
 auxiliary. The Gore compromise ship ping bill and amendments probably will be brought into the house next

FANNY CROSBY HYMN WRITER
 PASSES AWAY
Author of "Safe in Arms of Jesus, "Rescue the Per ishing,'' and Other Songs Dies at Her Home in Bridgeport
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 12.- Fanny Crosby, author of several thou sand hymns, died at her home here today, aged ninety-five years. Her health had been failing for some time
 Eight thousand hymns of Christian worship sung in Protestant churches throughout the world are the work of Fanny Crosby. No one since the days of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has made anywhere near as large a con tribution to the gospel song book as did the blind writer whose death oc- cured today
 Fanny Crosbys name was signed so regularly as author of one hymn after another that the hymn book makers of a quarter of a century ago were forced to give her some 200 different pen names to make it appear that someone besides the famous writer had contributed. Thousands-perhaps ps hundreds of thousands-who sang her songs, which were translated into every language. did not know that it was blind woman's inspiration which they employed to express their Christian faith and hope in song. Saved by Grace Blessed Assur- lance" Rescue the Perishing,' and Safe in the Arms of Jesus are typi- cal of Fanny Crosby's most popular religious verses. Of the latter the writer has related an incident showing the remarkable rapidity with which she employed her inspiration and her talents of versification
 w. H. Doane, who wrote the music for many of her verses, had called one morning at Miss Crosby's home in New York.

Instead of Leaving Matter to Commission - Want Tax Commission Abolish ed, Anyway They re Not for Kinney Bill
ELECTION LEFT
 OVER FOR WEEK
Merchants and Manllfactur- CTS Backed Up by Busi- ness Mems Association Talk Produce Market Problems

Discussion of legislative matters, and the passage of important resolu- tions took up all the time of the Merchants and Manufacturers asso- citation last night. so no election of directors was held.
 The three resolutions. which were all passed unanimously. are on the following subjects:
 l. Favoring mine tax legislation by the present legislature as against leaving the matter to the tax com mission for settlement There was a tremendous discussion of this matter.
 ,. Favoring the abolition of the state tax commission as a measure of economy. and turning the duties of that body over to the corporation commission
 3, Putting the association on rec ord as opposed to the principles of the Kinney Claypool bill which de- nies to employers the right to hire non English speaking people who work in hazardous situations.
 Produce Markets.
 In the discussion of ways and means for finding markets for farm produce. the members brought out the fact that greater cooperation is needed between merchants and farmers. Without at tempting in any way to give the idea of wanting to dictate, the merchants put themselves on record endorsing any plan to improve marketing con- ditions, and they are anxious to re- ceive suggestions from the tillers of the soil.
 After the meeting of the members of the NJ. & NJ. association, the execu- tive committee of the Business Mems Association of Arizona, that newly formed statewide body whose organi- zation was told exclusively in The Republican q day or so ago, went into session and heartily endorsed the three resolutions. Both meetings took place at the Arizona club rooms
 Inasmuch as there was not time to complete the business before the mem bers' meeting, they voted to adjourn until next Friday night. when a new board of directors will be elected and other business, proper to come before the annual meeting of such a body, will be taken up.
 So busy was last nights session, there was not even time to take up the report of c. H. Pratt, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers as- sociation. He had printed copies of it. however. and they were distributed Some of the features of the report are herewith presented.

 Before the federal reserve act was passed, domestic dealings in accept ance was confined to state banks, trust companies and private banks How far American banks may now proceed in taking away from London a share Of this business, a consider able part of which is done with South America, officials here do not now pretend to know

All Eyes Turn to East Prlls- sia Where Kaiser's Troops Have Taken Offensive and Report Russians Forced to Retire
RUSSIANS SAY IS
 ONLY STRATEGICAL
However, Reports Say Ger mans Have Captured 26,000 Prisoners, Cannon, Guns and Much War Ma terial from Force
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

LONDON, Feb. 19.-All eyes are the German army, under observation, if not the command of Emperor Will jam, has taken the offensive and con- pelled the Russians to evacuate their and retire to their own territory The Russians refer to this as a strategical retirement, but a German official statement intimates the appearance in this district of a strong German force was a surprise to the Russians, and that the Germans captured 26,000 prisoners, twenty cannon and thirty machine guns, in addition to a lot of war material.
 If the German statement is correct. the Russian reverse was almost as serious as that which the Muscovite forces suffered in the same place early in the war.
 The Germans resumed their offen- sive in Russian Poland on the right bank of the Lower Vistula, and oc- cupied the town of Sierpec, a short distance northwest of Flock. Thus the chief battle-ground of the east was transferred from lines west and southwest of Warsaw, to the north. Little change is noted on other battle fronts.
 Before the German official state ment was received in London military men were inclined to look upon the Russian retirement in East Prussia as wise move, declaring it would compel the Germans to fight battle on Russian territory, away from their strategical railways.
