SUBMARINE RECORD
OF DANIELS A MYTH
Some of the Boats Never Left Port,
Others Broke Down, Proving
Gardeners s Charges.

WASHINGTON, March Is. = Inves-
tigation at the navy department shows
that the facts referred to by Repre-
sentative Gardner in his criticism of
Secretary Daniels's press announcement
concerning the cruise of the Atlantic
submarine fotilla last May are substan-
TALLY correct. Representative Gardner
made his criticism on the floor of the
house Wednesday and challenged in
vestigation.
The record reveals that the majority
of the submarines mentioned in the
press report as participating in this
"record breaking" 1,200-mile cruise
did not make the cruise, that two were
towed part of the way and that engine
trouble placed others in difficulties.
1t is expected that Secretary Daniels
will not dispute the facts if the ques-
tion comes up before the house naval
committee, but explain that submarines
of this type are not constructed fol
cruising and that the press notice con
cerning their achievement was mis-
take.

SHERIFF MANN GOES

SUICIDE OF LIEUT.. ZELL.
Reward of $4,000 Reported as Of
fered for Capture of Villa.

WASHINGTON, March 49, The
body of First-Lieut. e. NJ. Zell of the
18th cavalry, who killed himself in
Columbus, \. NJ, Thursday, was
shipped TO Baltimore yesterday for
burial. One of the chaplains who was
on intimate terms with Zell said he
had worried for fear his troop was
not up to standard discipline. Lieut..
Zell's troop was said by brother Off
GERS to be among the best.
When Lieut.. Zell ahghted from a
troop train in Columbus and had
gazed for moment over the gray,
desert-hke wastes about the town, he
exclaimed, 'tGreat Godl is this Co
lumbus, New Mexico?' His fellow
officers paid little attention to the re-
mark until few minutes later they
heard a shot and found him dead
with wound in the head.
Reliable reports at Columbus indi-
cate that some of the larger ranching
and cattle interests on the Mexican
side of the border have offered re
ward of $4,000 for Villa, dead OF
alive Officers said they had reason
to believe that news of this immense
reward had caused some commotior
among the poems who have heard OF
it in northern Mexico.

DOOLITTLE AND
MISS CUTLER AGREE
Latter Returns as Housekeeper and
Stipulation Is Filed Reversing
Judgment for Services.

There was filed this morning in the Of
flee OF the county clerk a stipulation for
Judgment signed jointly by Ethel f. Cut
Ter and Merton A. Doolittle and sworn to
before Carl S. Hopkins, 5ustiee of the
peace and notary public.
This stipulation is to the effect that 1t
is the wish of both that in the case of
Ethel +. Cutler against Merton A. Doc
little Judgment is reversed and judgment
given for the defendant without costs
Last year Miss Cutler, who had been
housekeeper for the defendant many years,
sued Mr.. Doolittle for breach of promise
to marry and for pay for services for IT
years and on Oct. % received a verdict for
IS, ,715.45 for services, nothing being al
lowed for breach of promise. There was
an offset claim by the defendant and he
was allowed something on special verdicts,
leaving the net Judgment for Miss Cutler
S4, ,9OS.2J. The case was taken to the su-
preme court by the defense on law ques-
tions. Chase & Chase were attorneys for
the plaintiff and o. B. Hughes and F. E.
Barber for the defendant Miss Cutler
has returned to keep house for Doolittle
hence the stipulation that judgment be
reversed
Two weeks after the verdict was ren.
dered Chase & Chase sued Miss Cutler for
their fees.
At about the same time C. H. Lynde oi
Guilford, whose wife succeeded Miss Cut
Ter as housekeeper for Doolittle, sued Doc
little for alienation of affections, placing
the damages at $4,000 This suit has not
been tried. 1t was based, it is understood
on letters written by Mrs. Lynde anc
which were read in the course of the hear
ing of the case of Miss Cutler against Doc

MEXICANS KILL
TWO u. S. CITIZENS
Refugees Tell of Anti-American Out
breaks in the Torreon and Tam
pico Districts.

GALVESTON, Texas, March is. -
Two United States citizens We're muir
dered in a ranch west Of Torreon on
Monday night, according to American
and foreign refugees who arrived at
the border yesterday. It is said the
Americans were killed during an anti
American demonstration in which a
hundred Mexicans participated.
The bodies of the Americans were
left at the ranch house when the en-
ragged Mexicans took up their march
northward, hoping to join some squad
of Villa soldiers. Mexican refugees de
clared the United States consulate had
been closed and that the feeling
against Americans and their interests
is intense.
| That prominent Mexicans in the vi
cinity of Tampico are in sympathy
with the cause of Pancho Villa and are
assisting in inciting trouble and that
anti-Ameriean feeling in the Panuco
oil fields has caused foreigners to arm
against any outbreaks, is the substance
of story brought here by A. A. Arm
strong. Mr.. Armstrong spent severa
weeks in Tampieo and the oil fields or
business and returned to the United
States bv rail- coming through tht
southeastern section of Mexico.
All along the route traversed by hin
indolent Mexicans openly insultet
Americans and cheered "Viva Villa.'
Mr.. Armstrong is certain that all Mex
! leans in southeastern Mexico will lin
up with Villa.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Francisco
Villa and his bandits were fleeing before
the American eXpeditionary forces in
North Mexico today, in the opinion of
army officers. This belief was based upon
dispatches from the American column re-
porting that none of the outlaws had been
seen up to late yesterday and strengthens
the opinion that the Villa forces would
not attempt to make stand. Army men
declared that the campaign would quickly
develop into guerrilla warfare, if there was
any opposition.
The latest dispatches to the war de-
partment make no mention of disorder on
the border, according to Secretary Baker.
Reports from American consular represen-
tatives telling of generally quiet conditions
in the interior of Mexico continue to ar
rive. Unsettled conditions in the Tampico
and Torreon districts, however, give the
government officials some concern.

His wife, who survives him, was Miss

WASHINGTON, March 1S-The Amer
lean troops pursuing Villa and his bandits
have no intention and no orders to occupy
any cities or towns during their march
into Mexico. This was stated at the
White House and war department today
after the receipt of report that General
Gavira, the Carranza commander at Juar-
'ez, had given notice that General Per
Ishing's troops would not be allowed to
occupy Casas Grandes or other towns.
1t was declared by the administration of
icials that the pursuit of Villa, being en-
tirey a punitive expedition, had none of
the characteristics of an invasion and that
there was no object in occupying towns or
cities because the American troops will
keep constantly on the move. Officials said
today that the situation at Tampico, where
uneasiness is said to exist among Ameri-
cans and other foreigners, had no bearing
on the pursuit of Villa.
i Reports received at both the war and
state departments today continued to be
optimistic.
