MfWCANS EXPECT JAPAN TO
 AID THEM AGAINST THE U. 5.
VILLAS BODY FOUND

WASHINGTON. April 17.-The body of General Villa has been found in two weeks old grave by Carlos Caranza. nephew of General Camanza, and is being taken bv him and an escort of soldiers to the city of Chihuahua.
 This information was received this morning in tele- cram o the war department According to the dispatches Villas death was due to the ampuaon of one of his legs which had been badly injured in the fight with the Car ranza troops After having been desperately wounded he
 was carried by his followers to the town of Temosacmc where the anputation was performed by the village doc soon as he could be moved after the operation the bandit chief was carried to town thrtynne miles distant where according to the dispatches he fingered for few days suffering greatly before death ended his career He was buried at night attract as little aten- ton as possible His identity had been hidden from the villagers and after his burial they knew nothing about him and were not even aware that Villa had ever entered the place In the meantime it is supposed his followers kept up the fiction of his flight in order to prevent the Americans and CalTanzaistas from learning of his death probably in the hope that the people of Mexico would still rise against the United States It was rmored about the
 time that he received his wound that he had actually been injured but every effort apparently made since to put our officers off the track and their lack of knowledge of Mexican methods deceived them no doubt. Even now doubt is expressed of the truth of the story of finding Villas body and the state department will probably insist on having the facts fully confirmed before making any de- cisve movement At present it seems to be almost cer- tain that the body foundis that of Villa

Communication to
 Seward Improved
Cable Ship Is Now Working on Better
 Arrangements on Cable.

The interruption to the cables some time ago, when it was impossible to learn for quite a while whether the emergency appropriation had been granted or not, has had the expected effect in getting the governm,ut Go start work on improving the means of communication between Seward and the outside. The cable ship Burnside is now working on the cable between Sitka and Valdez and it is learned on very good authority that she is laying a second cable or doing something that amounts to establishing an cmer- gency means of communication in case the cable fails, as so often hap pens. The messages to the Gateway were delayed this afternoon becauso of the work being done by the Burn side. It has also been stated that the Signal Corps headquarters will soon be moved from Valdez to Seward

SALARIES AND OFFICIALS
 MAY BE FIXED TONIGHT

At the meeing tonight of the city council the salaries will be probably fixed and the officials appointed. The members of the new city council held a long meeting yesterday afternoon and it is assumed that they decided everything for tonight. The offices 10 be filled are chiefly those of chief of police, chief of the fire department, health officer, and, maybe, that of a city engineer. It would perhaps, be easy to guess one or two of the ap- pointments but, of course, the mem bers of the council will not give any thing out until official action is taken. There is also a rumor that some of the salaries will be cut but this is also nothing but rumor.

Instructed Hurry
 Work OnGOvt. Tract

The men who have the contract to clear the Terminal tract for the gov ernmeut have received instructions to hasten the work so that it will be fin ished on July 1. The natural deduc- tion from this is that the land depart ment has in contemplation the selling of the lots on the tract early in that month. It was reported around town that the sale would take place next month but the fixing of July 1 rather indicates that the sale will come later. The sale is directly under the land de- partment and not under the Engineer ing Commission.

MICHIGAN HOLDS FIRST
 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

LANSING, Mich, April 8.-NIichi- gan tested her new presidential pre- ference primary law today. Except in cities and counties where important local issues were at stake, interest in the balloting was more or less per functory.
 Senator William Alden Smith was conceded victory in the contest for the 30 Wolverine delegates to the Chicago convention, although the names of Henry Ford and William Gerald Simpson, both of Detroit, ap- peared on the Republican ballots as seekers after the nomination. Neither Ford nor Simpson made any cam paign.
 On the Democratic ticket, President Wilson was unopposed. The contest for Democratic national committee man between E. O. Wood, of Flint, present committeeman, and William A. Compstock, of Alpena, attracted some attention. Reelection of the present Republicans and Progressive national committeeman was not con- tested.

WASHINGTON, April 3. - Presi- dent Wilson's daughter Miss Mar garet Wilson, is showing Washington today that her father is not the only member of the White House family gifted with powers to bring congress men and such into line.
 Miss Wilson for some months has been engaged in a battle of politics with Washington's Board of Educa- tion, a conservative institution ap- pointed by courts and not responsible to the people. Her battle is about to come to a successful conclusion in the House, where Representative Johnson of Kentucky has introduced a bill in- tended to bring the Board into line, broaden the schools field of useful ness and add another scalp to the al- ready large Wilson collection.
 Miss Wilson has advanced ideas about a city. She believes school houses may be used to advantage by grown folks as community centers, civic forums and such. The people were in favor of it, all along.
 Finally, Representative Crosser of Ohio introduced bill providing that school houses might be used as civic centers. Senator Hollis sponsored the bill in the Senate. Permission was granted for mothers and fathers to meet at the schools to discuss school affairs, politics, war, and if they wanted to, fashions. Citizens as- sociations, of which there are about seventy-fve, also made use of them,
