Battle With Bandits Was Big Running
 Match With Americans Setting the Pace

Villistas. in small groups. rode up some of the immense gradually slop- ing sides of the foothills in the long fight they offered clear but tiny tar gets for American forces strung out along the line of pursuit. Against the brown grass of the open slopes men for great distance until they reached almost the vanishing point of size. Some of the troopers had unusual op- portunity to test their marksmanship at the extreme range of killing for an army rifle. about 5000 yards. At about a mile few of them made hits. but most of the 90 known dead were shot at shorter ranges. The number of Villistas wounded is problematical. as these bandits are noted for their har- dihood in recovering from wounds without what is considered surgery as known to modern armies
 A meat saw to amputate limb or an arm. without anesthetic for the pa tient. is an ordinary operation among them. When the amputation is done. the saw is heated and claDped over the raw wound to cau.erize it.

TROUBLE IN KANSAS CITY

KANSAS CITY. April A. Returns tonight from more than half the pre- cincts of the city indicated that Geo. H. Edwards, Republican. was elected mayor today by approximately 500 votes His election was conceded by the Democratic central committee which conducted the campaign of Mayor Henry l.. Johns. who sought re- election after having held office for four ydars. Returns also indicated the election of the entire Republican ticket with the exceptions of the can didates in the ninth wards. These were conceded the Democrats by the Republican city committee.
 The election today was the most hotly contested one for many years. Two police commissioners, James s. Lapiley and Colfred A. Lamb, Demo crats. were remanded to the county jail by Judge Clarence A. Burney of the circuit court. for contempt after having ignored writs of habeas cor pus issued 10 compel them to release 300 men held at police headquarters. Charges were made that the men held were arrested to prevent them from voting.
 The commissioners were released shortly after the polls closed after having been in jail more than three hours. They are 10 hear the contempt charges tomorrow.
 Twenty-one attaches of police head Guarers including Captain Flahive. act ing chief of police. and J. l.. Ghent. chief of detectives. also were brought into court. under similar charges. Cap tain Flahive was the only one remand ed to jail. The charges against the policemen probably will be dropped. it was said.
 Eighteen of the men arrested and held all day for investigation Were ordered released at 6 o'clock. This gave them 90 minutes in which to vote Others were admitted 10 bond after the polls closed.

RECORD BUDGET ID 6E RAISED
 IN BRITAIN
Chancellor of Exchequer, Me Kenna, Asks Commons to Endorse Budget Amount ing to 25 Million Dollars.
(sy Review Leased Wire. ,

LONDON, April l. Faced by the problem of financing for another year of war costing Great Britain e5,000,- 000 daily, the chancellor of the eX- chequer, Reginald McKenna, was met at the outset by two favorable cir cumstances, namely, that owing to the expansive power of British trade. the revenue for the year exceeded the estimated revenue by e27.G0G. .000, while the years expenses were e35.> 100000 below the estimate. By i'm posing new taxes on amusements, railroad tickets, matches and mineral waters, and raising a number of old taxes, including those on excess war profits, incomes. sugar, cocoa. coffee and motor cars, the chancellor esti- mates that he will be able to raise about e65.000.G00 which is nearly double what many persons thought he could raise by this means.
 At the close of an able and lucid speech in the House of Commons. ex- plainins the greatest budget in the worlds history, the chancellor made an interesting comparison with Ger man finances, declaring that while Great Britain was raising more than G300.000,000 annually by taxation. the secretary of the German imperial treasury, Dr. Helferrisch. was doubt full of an increase of e45.000,000. Explaining his financial methods, Mir McKenna indicated his desire to avoid anything requiring new sacrifices and he desired to distribute the necessary burdens fairly over the whole country. He said he was aware of no historical parallel in other countries for the willingness displayed by the people of Great Britain to submit cheerfully to the tax gatherers' eXactions, but it would be a mistake, he added. to drive this spirit too hard. For in stance, he said, he was for an effec- tive increase in the tax on war profits, because he considered this would have the effect of restricting trading.
 On the question of the general tar if, which has been the subject of much speculation, McKenna said the government had not yet been convert

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The fate of the federal volunteer plan of the Senate army increase bill was in doubt tonight when the Senate recessed af- ter an all day debate over an amend ment by Senator Lee of Maryland. to strike out the provision. At the last moment Chairman Chamberlain asked that the vote be deferred until tomor- row. on account of the absence of a number of senators.
 Throughout the day meetings were held by both the advocates and oppon- ents of the section, seeking to enlist suprort Of senators who had not final " decided on their stand. Senator Lee wa. aided in his fight by Senator Lewis of Illinois, while Chamberlain and his endorsers were active for their bill and conferred frequently with Re publicans.

There was no roll call Senator Chamberlain pointed out that the existing law upon which the volunteer army proposal is founded already contained this stipu- lation.

April 4.)-The America neXpeditionary forces. first fight with the Villista bandits was running match, with the bandits try ing to do all the running. This was learned today, when part of Colonel Dodd's command, which participated in the fight, arrived at supply base near the headquarters camp. When the Americans overlook the Villistas in a surprise attack last Wednesday morning the bandits made no attempt to fight the Americans, whom they equalled in numbers, except when they were brought to bay by the hard rid ing of the pursuers. Troopers who participated in the fight said the ban dits rode silently as if they were in fright.
 Few of them yelled. although yelling has been heretofore a characteristic of the Villistas in action. The ban dits rode crouched over their horses. scattering over a wide zone. leaving to the American force all the fighting
 These were plainly some of the Vil listas who participated in the Colum- bus raid. and apparently they had no heart left for another battle with the American soldiers. The Guerrero river divided some of the pursuers and the bandits for a time during the five hours running fight.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Coincident with the receipt tonight of news that American troops again had clashed with force of Villa bandits near Guerrero, it was learned at the State Department that the United States had renewed its representations to General Carranza regarding the ship ments of supplies to General Pershing over the Mexican railroads.
 dispatch sent Sunday instructed Special Agent Jno. L. Rogers at Queretaro, to urge the head of the de facto government to fulfill immedi- ately his promise given last week to permit commercial use of the rail roads by the American expedition.
 Action has been delayed on account of absence of orders from CarranZa to his subordinates.
 With General Pershing's lines of communication constantly lengthen- ing. as evidenced today by a report of the hunt for Villa extending further southward and the announcement that additional troops had been sent into Mexico, the War Department advised the State Department that it was es. sential that arrangements for the use of the railroads be rushed.
