BILL ID HANDLE

Senator Ashurst and Congressman Hayden have introduced bills to au- thorize the establish ment Of importers bouded warehouse on the Mexican bor- der To be used Tor the storage and cleaning of imported Mexican peas, known as garbanzos IL iS expeCt' q that if this lcgisIarion is enacted into law that a large bonded warehouse will be erected in Nogales for the sorting, cleaning. and storage of garbanzos that are imported from the west coast of Mexico
 GarbanzoS can be grown only in warm climate where there is very little rain during the maturing season. The region in southern Sonora and nor thrrn SinaIoa. Mexico. is peculiarly suited for this purpose. but lwing to the cIi- matic conditions the harvested crop must be moved out of those districts rapidly or the garbanzos will quickly become unmarketsble
 Large qnantioe, of garbanzos are shipped from the west coast of Mexico 10 Spain and II has been found advis- able to move the crop through the United States 10 Galveston, New Or- lean or New York. where vessels transport them to Spain. There was passed through the port of NogaIes, Arizona. during the fiscal year l9I3-l4 total of over 3s,O0O.

MARINA MERCHANT SHIP,
 ENGLAND SAYS; NEW NOTE 0a u-B0ATS TO BE SENT

Washington, Dec. S.--A new note to Germany on the general submarine situation appears to be among the possibilities which may come out of the latest activities of the underseas boats.
 If decided upon, such a note would be for the purpose of clearing up what appear to be differences of in- depreciation in Washington and Der lin and as to what Germany's pledges in the Sussex case covered, especially as to armed ships.
 Secretary Lansing said today no final course of action had been agreed upon.
 Although the state department has been going on the principle of decid- ing each case separately on it's merit, it was said today that the number of cases had reached such proportions that some general action would be Justified, although it was made clear that nothing had been determined upon.

TAILOR R0UTS } H0LO-UP MEN IN
 BRIEF SKIRMISH
Youths He Befriended With Cash and Favors Seek to
 Rob His Store.
IGNORES GUNS AS
 HE PUNCHES FOES
Would-Be Thieves Had Lived on Victim Purse
 for Several Weeks.

Giuseppe Agusta, of 130 Willard street, though only an humble tailor, is a philanthropist of 24 karat purity. He presses young mems suits, if he thinks them worthy, for nothing, lends them $5 bills and even gets their per- sonal effects out of "hock." It's his pleasure. But when the youths he has befriended poke guns at his head and attempt to disgorge what money he has in his pockets Agusta will fight.
 Though looking down into the bar rels of three revolvers at 7:45 o'clock today the tailor never quivered an eye lash. He doubled up his fists and proceeded to wipe the floor with the would-be gunmen. They were far from being game and fled the wrath of Agusta.
 A week ago three young men, of medium build and height ranging from 25 to 30 years of age, came into his store to get their clothes pressed on credit. Agusta obliged them and gladly placed the bill of $2.75, "on the cuff.'
 Monday they came in and told Agus- ld IHcy were SOOu ISllOWS, Illc1I IllOy knew he had a big heart and they borrowed S5 each from the tailor. Yes terday they told him they had a pin and watch chain in a pawn shop which they would like to recover. Agusta closed his shop and came to the city's centre with the men, pay ing $4.75 for the effects and turning them over to his needy friends.
 The young men evidently were not satisfied with getting Agusta's money by asking him for it, so this morning they visited his tailor shop just before o'clock. Three revolvers sinulta- neously were thrust in his face and he was ordered to throw hands up. But ingratitude, to the tailor's mind, is the most colossal sin to. which man kind is heir. It. peeves him.
 He smashed one of the gunmen ir the eye, walloped another in the nose and grabbed the gun held by a third with one hand, shaking him by the collar with the other Two of the wou1d-be robbers frightened, ran away, leaving the third to extricate himself as best he could.
 The latter managed deftly to sliI out of his over and under coat, leav- ing Agusta holding them in the air He escaped with his companions and Detectives Gerrity and Kane are try ing to find them. Incidently the tail- or has foresworn philanthropy.

rLoCOMOBlLE co. IS PLANNING TO BUILD ADDITION Business Increasing, More Floor Space is Needed by
 Concern.

Rapidly increasing business in both the domestic and foreign fields has actuated the heads of the Locomobile Co. of America to consider the erec- tion of additional factory buildings in Bridgeport. While it is known that officials have discussed the problems of manufacture and the additional floor space needed in various depart raents, no definite plans of location have as yet been perfected. It is con. eidered that about 10000 square feet of floor space will be needed.
 With the rush orders for trucks for army use having been fully completed the Locomobile Go. has found itself confronted with greatly increased bus mess which has been fabricated under highly systematized conditions that tend to give greater output in the same space.
 Even with this improvement in fac tory conditions the advantage of the business now offering is appreciated and plans for enlarged facilities here undoubtedly will be completed in the near future.

BritisE, ship Marina, torpedoed with a loss of six Americans, was in no sense a transport and was entitled to the immunities of peaceful mer- chantman.
 On both cases Germany has ex- pressed a willingness to offer amends if her pledges were broken.
 It was reiterated again today that the United States stands squarely on the position it took in the Sussex case. This combined with Germanys s statement that she, too, holds to the pledges she gave in that case, leads officials to declare there seems to De some difference in interpretation.
 A new note, if it should be decided to send one, would be intended to clear this up and make plain beyond question that the United States ex- poets all merchant ships, under Inter national law, shall not be destroyed passengers removed to places of safety.
 Affidavits on the sinking without warning of the Italian liner Palermo, on which state department records show there were 23 Americans, are be- ing collected as rapidly as possible. As yet there are no indications that any American lives. were lost, but from information at hand, the case seems to parallel closely the Arabia and the Marina.
