TROOPS GO SOUTH

Marathon, Tex, May 8.-Two troops of American cavalry swung southward this afternoon into the Big Bend county, nov ing on to Glenn Springs, where three soldiers lost their lives and little boy was shot to death in the raid by Mexi- can bandits Friday night The 100 or more cavalrymen belonging to Troops A and of the Eighth cavalry are under Maj. George T. Langhorne. Two troops of the Fourteenth cavalry, commanded by Col. F. W. Sibley. from Fort Clark, go forward tomorrow
 Unconfirmed reports were current to- night at Bouquillas that bandits are op- erating in numbers on the Mexican side The number of cavalrymen under orders to proceed toward the river indicates that no effort will be made to pursue the bandits into Mexico unless they are ob- served near the border. In that event a chase into Mexicon territory may be at tempted that might carry the American forces 50 or more miles into Coahuila . Marathon, Tex, May S.-Private Ros- COG Tyree and O. c. Compton arrived late this afternoon in company with Sergeant Smyth. They were brought here on a motor car from Glenn Springs. ''.s

GOOD ROADS BILL IS
 PASSED BY SENATE
 BY VIVA VOCE VOTE
Alabama Would Receive $2,OO0,000 for Her Roads in Five Years Under the
 Bankhead Measure

Washington, May Especial. By a viva voce vote, the Senate this aft- eroon passed the Bankhead good roads bill under the terms of which the gov ernment by the expenditure in fiva years of $75, ,000. 900, will assist the sew eral states in the construction of mo- bile highways.
 If the bill is enacted by the House as it passed the Senate. Alabama in five years will receive approximately se,ooo, ooo
 A fight led by Senator Shoot of Utah to extend the credit of the United States to the states for construction of roads by them, was lost 47 to 20. The bill appropriates $5.ooo,oo0 for tho year ending June 80. 1917, with in- creasing appropriations until 1921, when the entire amount is to have been spent. The money is to be appor- toned by the Secretary of Agriculture, according to the terms of the bill, on basis or one -third in the ratio of the area to which the states bear to the total area of the country, one-third in the ratio of the population and one third in the ratio which the mileage of rural delivery routes bears to the total mileage in tho country.

ION RETURNS WILL BE FLASHED ON THE AGE
Germans Are Convicted

New York, May S.~The jury which. for 10 days, heard testimony at the trial of Robert Fay, former lieutenant in the German army; Walter Scholz and Paul Daeche, charged with conspiracy to destroy munitions ships through bomb con trivances, returned a verdict of guilty against all three of the de- fendants.
 The jury de1iberated on the case for five hours and in reaching a verdict, asked for clemency in be- half of Daeche, who, according to his own statements and those of Fay and Scholz, was an employe of Fay and knew little of the details of the fire bomb plots.
 The defendants each are liable to d maximum sentence of 12 years inn prisonment and $10000 fine Judge Howe announced he would impose sentence tomorrow. The defend ants were found guilty on two in- dictments.

Washington Hints That Raid Might Have Been Instigated on American Side of the Border

Washington, May Administration of ficials are hopeful that effective co-opera- tion between American and Mexican troops to exterminate the band of Mexi- can outlaws which raided Glenn Springs, Tex, last Friday night, will follow the conclusion of the conference at Fl PaAo between Generals Scott and Obregon. In the meantime, 1t was stated officially that General Funston has authority to hot trail.
 The Glenn Springs raid has served to make clear the state department S attitude regarding General Carranza's note sug- gesting withdrawal of the American expe- dition It was stated officially today that the agreement suggested by Carranza in the first exchange of notes for recipro- cal right to cross the border on any re- currence of the; Columbus raid, still was assumed to be in force. Only the status of the present expedition is involved, it was said, in the pending diplomatic sit uation and in the Scott-Obregon military discussion. The right to pursue outlaws who engaged in subsequent raids was clearly stated in. the original proposal from Carranza and If Funston's men gc across in pursuing the Glenn Spring raiders they will be covered by that agreement regardless of the status ot General Pershings expedition
 Secretary Lansing declined to say what steps were being taken to investigate in- timations that the inspiration for the Columbus raid or the Glenn Springs raid had come from the American side of the border, any announcement, he said, merely would serve to block the investi- gators.

Wilson Writes Underwood and Hay Expressing Hope That Section of Military Bill Will Be Adopted
REPUBLICAN RAGE
 ONLY INCREASED BY
 ACTION OF WILSON
Doubt Still Exists Despite the Favorable Indications. Shields Bill Would Mean Plant at Muscle Shoals
py HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, May S.-(Special)- )-Al- though doubt still exists that pending water power legislation will be enacted. A1abamans in Congress are greatly en- couraged as a result of two recent in- cidents
 The President of the United States has communicated to Senate Underwood and Representative Hay, chairman of the House committee on military affairs, his hope that the nitrate section of the army bill will be enacted into law and the conservationists repudiated Clifford Pin chot and his theory that water power is best conserved through policy of non use.
 In other words, the incidents above re- lated will, in all probability, enhance the chance of success of two bits of legisla- tion-the Underwood amendment to the military bill under which the government would be authorized to develop Muscle Shoals. and the Shields bill, under the terms of which the DuPonts or others rould expend their capital in harnessing lhat prodigious source of water power.

 T have made a careful study of the bill introduced in the interest of the Du- Ponts," said Captain Lay. "and there is very little material difference between the measure under which they declare they will expend s2o,0OO.00O in the con struction of plant for the manufacture  of gunpowder and fertilizer, and the Shields bill. I am confident, therefore, that were the Shields bill enacted, the DuPonts. under it's provisions. would agree to invest their capital on the banks of the Tennessee and in the harnessing of the power at Muscle Shoals. And the Shields bill has stil another great ad- vantage. Under it's provisions. all other streams of the state would be developed. With the water power in Alabama har- messed and at work for the people, no state in all the union would be. after the lapse of few more Years, richer.''
 RESULT OF CONFERENCE
 It is regarded as reasonably certain that just as the Senate passed the Shields bill by large vote, the House will pass the Adamson bill by a large vote.
 Thereupon. the entire proposition would
