WILSON LOOKS
FOR PASSAGE OF
SHIP PURCHASE

ashington. Jan. l9.--Passasc of
the administration ship purchase bill
during the present session of congress
IS regarded as extremely probable by
PRESIDENT Wilson. He told callers to-
Gay there might be slight changes in
the bill. but that he did not antiCi-
pate material alteration. The presi-
cent prefers shipping board COM
posed of members of the cabinet as
originally planned. to the substitute
suggested by some Prosressive-Re-
publican senators for a non-partisan
hCard made mp of men not connected
with the government.
Mr.. Wilson said he did not think
the apparent reluctance OF the Brit
ish government to allow the Dacia, a
Vessel recently transferred from Ger
man to American ownership, to sail
unchaiicEgcd would have any bear
ing on the purchase Of ships under

Washington. Jan lo.-T1ispatches
filed yesterday at Mexico City said
that Willie it was reported General

TO the capital. reliable information
indicated he would not move farther
south from Qucrctaro.
Agents of the American govern
ment in the Mexican capital said
they We're at loss to understand tn"
NEW phase of the situation. One
message suggested Villas stop at
Qucretaro might mean that he finds
himself unable to cooperate further
with the Zapata forces.
All day yesterday officials set up
by the convention government were

zaha, which. il is believed. previously
was sarrisoned by Villa troops.
In many quarters here the belief
prevails that Villa plans to cvacuate

north Of ,he capital, making an eff
fort to obtain complete control of all

The proposed road to the crest of the
most noted mountain i'll the south
west which rcarS its head into the
cloud banks and marks the boundary
between Colorado and New Mexico
on one slope, appears 10 be feasible
to the commerce directors. The idea
suggested by President Radford was
received with a manifestation of en-
thusiastic interest and il was
planned to lose no time in bringing
the project to public attention that
the preliminary work may be started
early in the spring and the road com
pleted within the year 1915.
The proposed road viii start at IL
point above Starkyille and follow
Clear Creek canon to the top of the
peak.
The construction of six or seven
miles of road will be required. but

lay of the country. declared could be
accomplished at Il reasonable eN-
pcnse and it was suggested that the
total cost of completing the project
would probably not exceed sl0,Oo".

the proposed highway project. When
fair weather returns this spring the
directors expect to lead an autOmo-
bile party over the ground with an
engineer at which limC surveys Will
be made and estimates of cost pre-
pared
To initiate the work uf highway
building the directors anticipate that
if sufficient public iutercs, is shown.
