City Water Commissioner C. N.
Perry this morning went over the do
mestic water situation carefully with
the Press, telling of the plans the
city has had in hand.
During recent months extensive i'm
provements have been made at the
waterworks in machinery for removing
silt and measuring the water, the eX-
penditures being in large part of a
permanent nature and all designed to
work economy in handling water and
looking to the possibility of cutting
the expense of water to the consum-
ers.
Mr.. Perry stated that the very OBJ
ject Of the work being done is to Sc
cure lower rates and that there has
been no thought of increasing the
cost of service.
The meters which are being installed
were aimed at this same end. Mr.. Per-
ry showed the records of water serv-
ice for several days, registered by
hours, showing that from II at night
until in the morning the consump-
ton of water runs regularly at 800, ,00O
to 100000 gallons day. In other

ders. He also instructed Secretary
Lansing to inform General Carranza
of the attitude of the American gov
ernment. Leaders of both houses of
Congress were Immediately notified
from the White House of the presis-
dents action. They approved his
course.
Before deciding finally to send
troops after Villa, the president con-
ferred over the telephone with Chair
man Stone of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee, who told him he
believed the sentiment of Congress
would solidly support his action.
1t was considered possible that
within a few days President Wilson
might go before Congress to recite the
series of acts by Villa which led up
to the ordering of troops to effect his
capture. The president desires to
move with the entire cooperation of
Congress-.

For Domestic Water

words, the consumption of water
when there ordinarily is no demand in
Ell Centre is greater than the normal
day demand of other cities of the
same population.
This excessive night drainage On
the water system is due in great part
to people allowing their irrigation hy-
drants to run all night and also in
great part to the leakage in service
by means of which an immense
amount of water is allowed to run into
q sewer system that is overloaded.
Mr.. Perry believes that the city will
be able to fix water rates based or
meters which will greatly reduce the
cost to the consumer, and which will
leave the consumer free to waste as
much water as he chooses to-at his
own expense.
On this basis he expects the irriga'
tion of a town lot to cost less than il
does now, while he would charge the
street department with the water usec
for sprinkling and the sewer depart
ment with the expense of flushing
the sewers, thus taking the unequa
burden from the domestic water serv
ice.

Serious Apprehension That

Conflict Of Nation Against

General Scott, chief of staff of the
army, announced that the expedition
would consist of not less than 5000
men, all of which are available or
the border under Major General Fun
stOn.
The following statement was ISSUED
at the White House:
"An adequate force will be sent al
once in pursuit of Villa, with the sin
gle object of capturing him and put
ting stop to his forays.
"This can be done, and will be done
in entirely friendly aid of the consti
tuted authorities in Mexico, and with
scrupulous respect for the sovereign.

1t was said at the White House
that the American governments wants
Villa dead or alive, and that no steps
will be neglected to carry out that OBJ
ject.
1t was said the pursuit of Villa
would be undertaken in a comprehen
sive way.
Cabinet members and army official:

A general feeling of relief that thu
administration had finally decided tc
take the step was apparent.
The president himself is represented
as being as determined to oust Villa
as he was to ouso Huerta.
Carranza will be notified immedi
ately that the United States has nt
intention of taking any Mexican ter
ritory whatever, and respects fully
the sovereignty of that nation.
American officials realize that Car
rama may have difficulty in con
senting to the presence of American
soldiers on Mexican soil, because Of
popular feeling in this country.
At the cabinet meeting the discus.

agreed that the only thing to do wa:

Discovered at Noon

on discovering the situation, drove the

up to hold in confinement until they

Washington, March 11.-While a
universal demand has swept over
America for prompt action to punish
Villa and while the government is re-
spending to the demand in a vigorous
manner, there is increasing apprehen-
sion here over the situation, for it
is feared the entire Mexican people
will support Villa.
Carranza Immediately expressed his
regrets at the attack on an American
town, and he has ordered troops to
attack Villa, and yet it is doubtful if
he could cooperate with the American
troops when fighting Mexican bandits
on Mexican soil.
What is considered more probable
here is that the great mass of the
Mexican people will hail Villa as a
hero for having made war on the hated
gringoes, and that they will make it a
war of nation against nation, COM
pelling this country at last to under
take the policing and pacification of
Mexico.
Still aother question that has arisen
is whether there is some foreign pow
er using Villa as an instrument in
awakening war. Can it be that he is
backed by Japan? That question is
asked in all seriousness by many per-
sons of high standing in official life.
The attitude of the government is to
take effective action on the suppo-
sition that we are cronfronting a brig
and who has but few thousand men
to support him, but it is felt that any
day may bring realization that what
we have to face is something more
serious than this one brigand
Reports from all along the line are
to the effect that the Mexicans are in
bad humor over the sending of troops
to Mexico, which, in spite of President
Wilson's assurances, is taken as in
tervention in Mexican affairs.
Special trains for the last thirty-six
hours have been rushing men forward
to cooperate with Colonel Slocum, un-
der command of General Funston
whose orders are to take Villa dead
or alive, and which orders place no
limitations on the steps to be taken.
BY tonight it is expected the force
across the line will exceed 5000, and
this may be doubled or trebled within
week if found necessary.
1t is presumed Villa will work south
ward, necessitating a considerable
force if a, line of communication with
the home country is to be main
tanned.
Washington, March 11.-Late yes
terday an expression of regret from
General Carranza for the Columbus
massacre was received by the state
department. No offer of cooperation
with American troops for hunting
down the Villa bandits was made, but
if one does come it was said that il
hardly could be refused.
