UNITED STATES NAVY Y, TO HAVE ADMIRALS
Congress Passes Bill Giving Rank to Commanding Officers of Amer
 ican Battlcships.

Washington, March 4.-With com
 manding officers of the American bat tleship fleets now to be ranked as admirals and vice-admirals, the Amer jean navy no longer will labor un- der the handicap of having to take orders from commanding officers other than it's own, whenever joint operations are held with navies of other nations.
 In a statement on the naval bill just passed by congress and which he regards as the most generous ever enacted, Secretary Daniels says that the creation of the ranks of admirals and vice-admirals will give the American navy the position to which it is entitled. Heretofore, the navy has not had such position during joint operations, because other coun- tries, some of them with much smaller navies, have given higher rank to the commanding officers.
 The new ranks are to be conferred upon officers only so long as they can command afoat, and not permanent ly.

Washington, March 4-Dr. Walter F. Rlttmans discoveries, which are expected to revolutionize the manu- lecture of gasoline and toluol and
 henzol, were pronounced by govern ment sclent1sts and by chemists for OH ana powder companies to be abso- lutely practicable and a source un- doubtedly of great economical saving. IhlS young government scientist-he IS only thirty-two-gave a technical description of his processes to his col leagues and others. The first process treats crude petroleum by a method
 whereby 200 per cent. increase in the output of gasoline Is obtained. The process extracts gasoline from residue and oils that did not give up any gas- ollne under the old process. It is so cheap and practicabl it is asserted. as to place the method directly in the hands, of the independent operators and release gasoline from the control or the oil trust. The second process makes the United States economically independent of Germany so far as toluol and benzol are concerned. These chemicals, necessary in the manufa C. ture of dyestuffs and high explosives, up to now have come almost exclu- slvely from Germany. -

BAD COLD? TAKE
 CASCARETS FOR
 BOWELS TONIGHT
No Headache, Constipation, Bad Cold or Sour Stomach by
 Morning.
Get a 10-cent box.

Get a 10-cent box.
 Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy sto- mach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con- gestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months.

TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

19O1-Tommy Ryan defeated Tommy West in IF rounds at Louis vile. It was the third meeting be- tween the Anglo-Frenchnan and the cherubic Welshman, and it definitely proved that the latter was no match for Ryan. Tommy West, who was a native of Cardiff, Wales, was one of the best welterWeights of the glor- ious period of that division, and, al- though he never held the champion ship, he scored several victories over Joe Walcott, the black demon of Barbados and fought draws with Mysterious Billy Smith and Dan Creedon, besides whipping Frank Craig, the Harlem coffee cooler ? shortly after the latter had won the middle and heavyweight titles in England. Tommy's Louisville bout with Ryan was about the last of his ring career. Later in the same month he met Marvin Hart in the Kentucky metropolis, and was knocked out, after which he retired from the ring.
 1886-Sam Langford, negro heavy weight, born at Weymouth, N. S.

That Propaganda Was Issued by Him
 for Organization of Legion.

Washington, March 4.-Major-G Gen eral Wood, in telegram yesterday to Secretary Garrison, characterized as untrue, statements that propaganda had been issued from his deparmental headquarters for the organization of an American Legion of reservists. General Woods telegram was prompt ed by protests from Bishop Greer and other members of the American League to Limit Armament. He characterized their statements as 'au- dacious."
 II called Bishop Greer up,'' said General Woods message, "and asked him his authority, and he replied the press only. I informed him that his statement that propaganda had been issued from headquarters was untrue and demanded that he correct it, and he promised to do so. A more auda- cious misstatement made without in quiries or investigation has seldom come to my attention, and I have so informed the bishop

 Jeannette, pulled off in Boston, Sam
 forgot himself and landed a punch
 that, broke Joe's nose in two places
 and smeared that useful organ all over Jeannette's face.
 a#S While Langford is yet a year short
 of the thirty mark, Jack Johnson will be thirty-seven the last day of this month. Difference in age alone would give Sam great advantage. If Johnson continues to- refuse to meet Langford, his claim to the title Should be ignored, and Langford should be given the chance to defend the championship against all corners.
 Harry Stone, the Beau Brummel of the ring, will be twenty-six years old today, as he was born in New York on March 4, 1889. Stone is a Hebrew and has been fighting since 1910 in the lightweight and welter- < weight divisions, and he has been one of the many claimants of the welter title. Stone didn't have much
 of reputation in his native land { when he went to Australia in 1913,
 but he made great hit in Kangaroo Land. where he defeated Matt Wells,
 the English Hebrew, and Johnny Summers. Stone cleaned up over sk1A000 in a year in Australia and Added quite a bit to his roll in Eng
 land, where he was a popular fa- svorite. Last January Stone took Possession of the New Polo A. A. in s New York and became a magnate of the game. Although a welterweight
 title claimant, Stone can make the lightweight limit, and claims the Z Australian champ pionship of that di-
 vision.

U. s. PROTESTS. 10
 GENERAL CARRANzA
Against Alleged 'IncsndIaTy State:
 mcntS'' Of Gen. 0breQon.

Washington, D. C., March 4.-The state department yesterday protested to General Carranza against alleged incendary statements" made in Mex ico City by General Obregon re- garding the food situation there. AL though Obregon made public an- nouncement that he would withdraw his troops at the first signs of hum ger riots state department adVices yesterday said he had declined aid from an international relief commit tee.
 The situation in Mexico City is at tributed to the closing of govern ment offices, the suspension of i'm dustry the isolation of the capital from the outlying country and the sending of food supplies to Vera Cruz.
 Obregon's Statement.
 State department representatives were summarized in this announce ment: The department is advised that on March ?, the press of Mex ico City published another statement from General Obregon as follows:
 At the first attempt at riot l will leave the city at the head of my troops in order that they may not fire a single shot against the hungry multitude as the merchants did not accept the invitation which was made to them to assist the people and prevent violence"
 At Variance With Advices.
 This statement appears to be com pletely at variance. with the depart ment's advices from Mexico City concerning the relief work recently instituted. It is stated that the in ternational relief committee has taken up the work with considerable energy and that it has met with a hearty response on the part of the foreigners in general
 Request Turned Down.
 Two banks alone have subscribed 125,00O pesos. The press of Mexico states that on March l a member of the relief committee approached Obregon to ask that certain facilities be given the committee in the way of railroad transportation to bring much needed staple articles and his answer was that "the Mexican people did not require any help from for eigners' and consequently the com mittee's request was turned down.
 Cause of Conditions.
 "It is reported that as far as can be judged the present conditions in Mexico City have been brought about by the closing of all government of fees, shutting down of public works, cutting off of railway traffic in all directions (which prevented the bringing in of supplies needed by factories which have laid off all their men); by not letting staple articles find their way into the city and fin ally, by the transportation to Vera Cruz of the food supplies of Mexico City.
 The department has given in, that the attention of Gen eral Carranza be called to the ser iousness of having such incendiary statements as the one quoted ap- bearing in the press.
 Claims to Be Governor.
 Los Angeles, Cal, March 4.-En- rique Cota claiming to be governor of Lower California by appointment of General Carranza, established headquarters here yesterday after an advertisement warning owners of property in the Mexican territory bordering California not to make payments for taxes or other considerations to Colonel Estaba Cantu, commandant at Mexicali.
