Fears Villa May Be Hero.

Senator Chamberlain. chairman Of the
Senate military affairs committee. said
he had every confidence that the War De-
partment would act promptly if there was
need Of more troops on the border
he added that he feared more and
more adherents of Carranza would go
over to the Villa standard and that the
bandit would become a popular hero
in Mexico
The need of more troops on the bor-
der may arise any day. he said. The
history of the last two weeks on the
Mexican border should convince any
one that this country is woefully UNI
prepa red. both in regard to the number
OF trained men and to munitions of

Senator O'Gorman Of New York, a

Sermon by Bishop Mouzon.

Bishop Mouzon preached an eloquent
sermon of the need for "constraining
our young men to preach the gospel"
He emphasized the fact that I'VE are
living in day when the center of civil
lization and Christianity is being shift
ed America is being looked to more
than ever by the entire world as the
goal of opportunity. We must prepare
our ministry to meet these great and
growing obligations"
He paid tribute to an increasing
spirit of true religion in the lives of
the Methodist ministers. He recalled
noted Methodist preachers who were
never ordained or licensed but who
were actually called" to the service
of God and whose very names have be-
come church history. He said that the
reason there are not more young men
entering the Methodist ministry today
is because the homes are not of the
proper sort to inspire them to espouse
such a vocation. He pleaded for more
religion in the homes.

Would Brand Offending Americans As Guilty of
Treason Senator Stone Denounces Repub-
lican "Agitators of Public"

Senator Lewis. democrat, de-
clared in a resolution intro
duced today that American au-
thorities had knowledge OF sup
plies and money being furnished
to Villa from foreign countries
and from the United States.
His resolution proposed to brand
Americans who give such aid as
guilty OF actual treason
At the request of Senator Borah. re-
publican. the resolution was read twice,
and then Senator Lewis asked that 1t
lie over and gave notice that he would
speak upon it at an early opportunity
Scores Agitators of Public.
Charging that influences in this coun-
try were at work to force the United
States into war with Mexico, Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, today in scathing
terms denounced republican sena -ors,
who, by resolution and the submits
the public.
He challenged the republican sena-
tors to say whether they desired war
between this country and Mexico.
"If you wish to embarrass the admin
istration. if you are seeking to force
this country into war, have the cour-
age to say so like men," said Senator
stone shaking his fist at the republican
side Of the chamber. Don't be forcing
your way into the matter IN this sur
reptitious manner.
Senator Stones outburst followed the
reading of q telegram to senator FAN
presented to the Senate by Senator
Rorah of Idaho, in which the situation
at Douglas. Arfz. was declared to be
most dangerous. Similar telegrams
were received by Senator Ashurst and
Senator Thomas. ..t
Vigorously Attacks Mr.. Sherman.
Senator Stone was particularly
vigorous in his attack upon Senator
Sherman of Illinois. who introduced
resolution Wednesday directing the
President to call for so, 900 volunteers
for service along the border and in
Mexico. He said the de facto govern
ment in Mexico was bound to interpret
a call for so. 300 volunteers as a pur-
pose on the part of this country to
make war against Mexico.
There were acrimonious interch3nges
between Senator stone and Senator
Borah, Senator Stone and Senator Sher-
man and finally between Senator Oliver
of Pennsylvania and Senator Stone.
The Pennsylvania senator put an end
to the denunciations of the chairman
of the foreign relations committee by
calling for the regular order, which
shut off further debate at that time.
Just before the call for regular order
Senator Clapp of Minnesota rose and
criticised Senator Stone for the course
he had followed In denouncing repub-
lican senators. Senator Clapp said he
regretted very much that the Next
can situation should come up for de-
bate. and declared he and other repub
Iican senat tors did not wish to embar
rass the administration in handling
the matter.
He pointed out that Senator Sherman
and other senators who had been pre-
pared TO speak yesterday on the sub
ject of the Sherman resolution had
RETAINED from doing SO at the suSees-
ton of the chairman of the foreign re-
Iations committee.

den Of Illinois today arose and called

it ought to be expunged from the rec

and is washing dirty linen. 1t is using
the Congressional Record as a cesspool;
there are vile epithets in it that would
not be printed in any newspaper in the
country. and would he libelous if used
anywhere else.
These words were not spoken on the
floor Of the House, but were written
under a leave to extend remarks.

MAY IMPROVE PARK

Extensive improvements to the
big city park are advocated by the
park com mittee of the chamber of
commerce, The proposed improve.
ments include the construction of an
adequate driveway and an extensive
playground for track, football, base
ball, and tennis in the cas-. end OF
the park. The agitation for com
munity playground, since the aband-
onment of the lease on the city base
ball grounds, is quite acute, and in
all probability provision for the play
OF the youngsters will be made. The
need of a training ground for high
school athletes is also imperative
and it is thought that the city park
will provide ample accommodations
for all lines of sport, with the proper
mprovements. The chamber has ap.
pointed a committee of three to act
in conjunction with city officials in
devising ways and means of making
the necessary improvements.
