NO ADVICES YET

Washington, April 9.--Sunday brought no dispatches to break the silence of several days regarding the operations of the American expedition in Mexico Nevertheless, Secretary Baker tonight re- iterated his optimism for early success of the hunt for Villa.
 Lack of news since last Tuesday had not shake nofficials' hope. It is pointed out that important developments may have occurred since the last reports came from the field base of the American col umn. The last message to the war de- partment was that the advancing columns had apparently located Villa and a con- siderable portion of his command near Satevo.
 The war department has been advised it was learned definitely tonight that the Thirteenth cavalry, commanded by Colonel Slocum the victims of Villa S raid upon Columbus, just a month ago today, is at the front of the troops pur- suing Villa.
 Secretary Baker stated today that as far as he knew consideration was not being given to removal of the American border base from Columbus to Presidio, Tex, as reported from the border
 During this week the war department hopes to send one or two new aeroplanes to General Funston. An aviation officer is at the Curtiss & Sturtevant factories inspecting the machines. Delivery of the first of the eight new biplanes recently ordered has been promised for this week.
 Members of the army medical corps are gratified over reports from the hospital base at Fort Bliss regarding the small number of men taken sick while serving with General Pershing's command Less than the average sick rate for field sery- Ice has been reported.

SPEAKER MAY NOT GO ID CLEVELAND Famous Outfielder Says President Lannin Must
 Explain

Boston, April 9.-Tris Speaker, famous center-fielder of the Boston American league team, whose sale to the Cleve- land club was announced yesterday, said tonight that it was not yet a certainty that he would go to the Cleveland team. Speaker came here today from New York to have a talk with President Lannin of the Red SoX about the deal.
 There is no need of my stating that this deal is a complete surprise to me It nearly took me off my feet said Speak CT. As it came to me, it seemed that President Lannin and I had practically agreed on terms. After talking to him on Friday, I figured that our deal was practically fixed up and that there was no longer anything between me and my continuance as a member of the Red Sox team save the signing of contract.
 T realize the difference now. I shall see Mr. Lannin tomorrow forenoon and look for explanation. I have not signed any contract with the Cleveland club yet, although I believe that as far as I am concerned the Boston club no longer has me on it's list. Whether I shall go to Cleveland remains to be seen. As I said, everything depends upon my in- tervew with Mr. Lannn."

Judge Thomas E. Knight of Greens boro, Gen. c. R. Bricken of Luverne and J. M. Bonner of Camden, candidates for the court of appeals, were in Birmingham yesterday. General Bricken and Judge Knight have been in the race since last year and have conducted very active campaigns. MT.

ARE COOPERATING IN
 UNUSUAL EFFORT ID. SPEED UP CONGRESS.
Republicans as Anxious to Get Away From Washing ton Before Conventions
 Meet as Democrats

Washington, April Administration leaders in Congress are exerting unusual efforts to expedite legislation with a view to an adjournment early in the sum mer, and they are meeting with co-opera- tion on the part of the minority in both houses Several times in the past week republicans in the House and Senate de- clared they were as anxious as the democrats for an early adjournment be- cause of the approaching campaign, and there are no present indications of any intention to prolong debate or attempt to block the administration legislative pro- gramme.
 An illustration of the general desire to speed up was furnished in the Senate Saturday, when unanimous consent agreements were reached for a vote on the army reorganization bill and free sugar repeal resolution and the legislative ap- propriation bill was passed, all within two hours. The Senate agreed to vote on the army bill Tuesday, April IS, and the vote on the free sugar repeal resolution next Tuesday, April Il.
 Tomorrow the Senate will debate the sugar repeal issue Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, hay ing warned the Senate that action was imperative because the free sugar clause of the tariff act will become operative May 1 next unless Congress acts before that time. He said he anticipated sharp controversy in conference because of the action of the Senate committee in amending the House resolution. The House agreed upon flat repeal of the free sugar clause. The Senate demo- crats recommended that the existing duty of cent pound on sugar should be ex tended until May 1, 1920. Senators Brous sard and Ransdell of Louisiana will make an effort to restore the House resolution but this is doomed to failure. The fight will be continued in conference.
