lery corps arrived in the city yester-
day morning from Jackson barracks,
. New Orleans. The entire company
Twas transported here in tourist
sleeper provided for tire trip, which

New Orleans, owing to the lack of
range.
It is expected that the company
will remain here for two weeks.

House Conferees
Agrees To Senate
Plan For ARMY
AZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 1.-THE senate
and house conferees on the army bill
have tentatively agreed to the organi-
cation plan for the regular army pro-
posed in the senate bill, excepting the
senate proposals for field artillery.
The house units for field artillery, it
is said, will be accepted by the sem
ate conferees.
Under the plan virtually agreed on
there would be added to the present
strength of the regular army thirty
four regiments of infantry, ten regi-
ments of cavalry, fifteen of field ar
tillery, five of engineers, ninety-three
companies of coast artillery, and two
battalions of mounted engineers.
Champions of the senate bill believe
TONIGHT that the acceptance of their
method of organization would lead to
the final approval of the regular army
of $50, 900 men in peace times, capable
of expansion to 10000 in time of
threatened war.

AMERICAN TROOPS TOLD
TO PURSUE GEN. VILLA

Washington, May AFTER the
cabinet meeting today Secretary
Baker announced that General Fun

Columbus raiders still stood as did
the original purpose of the expedi-
ton. There was no indication to-
night Of a change in the determine
ton Of President Wilson not TO accept
any proposal of the Carranza gov
eminent conditioned on withdrawal of
the American forces.
IL was learned from American
sources that, based upon immediate
withdrawal, Carranza has offered to
place an active army of $4,000 men
in northern Mexico as soon as the
Americans are withdrawn. These
troops were to be so placed as to
guard the border against raids. II
was the condition Of immediate with
drawal to this offer that caused the
delay in the FL Paso conference, as
Generals Scott and Funston were
without authority to deal with thai
suggestion.

CAN USE Blue MARL
IN BUILDING HIGHWAY
1t Makes Excellent Roads
and Exists in Large
Quantities.

The suggestion that blue clay mari,
which is so abundant along the Reed
LAGOON be used in building the road,
has been made by County Surveyor
Lee, and the matter is now under
consideration. So far there has been
no reasons presented why this should
not be done. That it would mean
great saving in time and money is
the belief of those connected with
the work.
This substance is found in many
different forms, some sandy, some
clay and other with an almost rock
like hardness. That which lines the
shore of the big lagoon is of the
clay class and therefore, it is claim
ed, is of the same value as clay for
road building. C. E. Dodson, when
speaking of the proposed use of this
mari, stated that he had seen some
roads constructed with it and when
packed well before used it madT an
excellent surface On the other hand,
he said, that when it is not packed it
become 1umpy and practically of no
use whatever as a road.
For a great distance the proposed
road will traverse the edge of a
high bluff along the shore of the
lagoon. Sloping gently away from
the base of the bluff the beach runs
off to the waters edge. At several
places large deposits of this blue
mari have been found, which, owing
to its proximity will greatly lessen
the cost of transportation Of mate
rails.
To be able to use this mari the
right must first be secured from the
owners of the land, but as on al
other occasions, the property owners
in that vicinity are eager to assist
in the work, and it is not thought
that any opposition viii be encoun,
tered.
The second issue then to be con
fronted is digging the mari and trans
porting it to the roadway, which il

was at first intended, for only a small
amount of clay will be necessary t.

station. These flights were a source
of much interest and the many ma
neuvers proved a revelation to some
of the Rotarians.
Captain Barrow takes a just pride
in his vessel, and is proud of the rec
ord that he has made with it. Of
the 672 scheduled trips in the past
thirteen years since her arrival here,
only one has been missed, and that
one during the terrific hurricane of
