INCORRECT DATA
Representative Gardner De
mands Probe Of AllegedMi
leading Official Reports.
CHARGES DELAY In WORK
Massachusetts Congressman Declares
Design of Ships Is Faulty and Con-
struction Unpardonably Slow.

A demand for an investigation of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair OF
the Navy Department and the dissemina'
ton by the department OF misleading re-
ports concerning the accomplishments oil
naval vessels was demanded by Repre-
sentative Gardner, of Massachusetts, yes
terdRy in the debate in connection with
the urgent deficiency bill,
Mr.. Gardner charged the Bureau OF
Construction and Repair with delay in
the construction OF a naval vessel au-
thorized and the faulty design of some
ships. The fault, however, he did not
attribute to Admiral Taylor, chief of the
bureau. but present and former admin
istrations of the Navy Department. Re-
ports given out by the department con-
corning the work on naval vessels he
alleged to be misleading and false.

The press notice said that after an
uninterrupted run of about 100 miles,
the second and fourth divisions OF the
Atlantic submarine rotilla have arrived
at New York from Pensacola, Fla, via
Key West, which port was their last
stopping place" The notice also said
that the second division consisted of the
D-1, DE-, Do Ell and En- and the fourth
division of the XII K-2 K-5, and ks
1T was a withdrawing performance
as the newspapers put it," said Mr..
Gardner. Let US see whether those
vessels were there. I stated, and I in

and the D-3 were not there at all. They
never started from Pensacola. They
joined that fleet on the Jersey coast"

House PLUNGES into
keen TARIFF DEBATE
Members Loose Flood of Political Ora
tory, Although Repeal Is
Sure to Pass.

Before starting upon the considera-
ton Of preparedness legislation the
House Of Representatives abandoned
itself yesterday to an old-fashioned. de-
bate upon the tariff with a Zest that
indicated that the subject has not lost
any Of It's attractions as a campaign
issue.
The bill repeating the free sugar
provision of the present tariff law
provided occasion for the, oratorical
outburst- The measure was taken up
by unanimous consent, upon the re-
quest Of Representative Kitchin, the
majority leader, with the understand
ing that the debate is to close today.
Some OF the more ardent tariff ex-
ponents regarded seven hours of gem
eral debate as too brief Free trade
Democrats clamored for an opportuni-
" to be heard.
The agreement to dispose OF the bill
tomorrow having been reached, the
House settled down to talk politics
without restraint.
For the first time in a century"
said Representative Longworth, the
members Of the Ways and Means Com
mfttee have found themselves in agree
ment upon a tariff bill. We are con-
fronted with the spectacle Of the lion
and the lamb lying down together"

American Lives in Grave Danger in
Mexico Two Consuls to Quit Posts

Internal conditions in Mexico are
giving the State Department consider
able uneasiness. reports having been
received yesterday that at last two
American consuls have advised the
government of their intention to leave
their posts because of threatening
danger.
AT the State Department last night
II was stated that there was no Of
ficial confirmation Of a report that A.
L. Williams, American consul at Tor
reon was about to return to the
United States, but it was admitted that
termination to get out of Mexico at
once.
The administration itself is under
stood to be in quandary as to just
how great the danger may be for all
Americans in Mexico. Consular reports
of the past twenty-four hours sug-
gest that danger actually exists.
American consuls in Mexico have
been advised of the purposes of the
military expedition and asked to re-
port the effect OF the punitive pursuit
on the average Mexican.
Arms shipments Held Up.
With these advices went official in
structions for the consuls to stay at
their posts or return to this country
at their own discretion.
Tending to show the inability of
CarranZa to cooperate with the United
States forces in Sonora is the fact that
today, at the suggestion of the State
Department, the War Department, de-
cided to hold UP shipments of NUM-
tions of war which were intended for
the Carranza troops in Sonora.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1916-03-16

IL was frankly admitted by War
Department officials that IL was feared
these munitions would fall into the
hands of the viliistas IL the shipments
were made. 1t is assumed from this
that the authorities believe Sonora
and Chihuahua are largely In the
hands OF the element against which
the military expedition has been
planned.
Reports to the general staff made within
the past ten days show that Carranza
has scarcely 1900 troops instead OF 5000
as he claimed. and that Carranza is now
facing in Sonora not only the Villtstas
but also 5000 Yaqui Indians. These re-
ports say that the Yaquis are well armed
and may go on the warpath at any time,
Viilistss Menace Tampfco.
The gravity of the situation in Sonora
and its appreciation by the War Depart
ment is understood to account for the
emergency orders transmitted to the
Pacific fleet. The navy is also watching
closely the situation in the east, near
Tamptco. This town is the navy's one
source of Information concerning condi-
tons in that part of Mexico. From this
region come reports that the Villistas are
strong enough to menace the Carranza
posts and the oil districts
Mexico City remains an enigma in So
far as the State Department is con-
cerned, there being no reports from the
National Capital of Mexico showing
existing conditions there. 1t is generally
known that Zapata, the firm ally Of
Villa, is threatening Mexico City from the
south and an attack by his forces is
expected hourly.

causes OF the fight
But one Of the members moved that

LITE TOO STRENUOUS
 IN THE SPIRIT CITY

VALDEZ PRoSPECToR: - Sam Knudson, the most popular man on the Pacific Coast, is back. Life in the Spirit City, with it's hustle and din was too strenuous after l9 years amidst the quiet solitudes of the Northland, and played such havor with his nervous system, that he could not stand the strain, so when his Se- attle friends were not looking he packed his grip, stole away to the Admiral Watson, where he remained in hiding until the steamer was well out in the bay.
 Sans reception was such as would make any man proud, but his depart ure was quiet in the extreme Sam looked after that part of it.
 Possibly the genial wharfnger at the Valdez Dock might have manag- ed to stay in the city few days long CT, but one of his enterprising friends" inserted the following no- tice in a Seattle paper:

 Sam glanced at the smiling line of anxious applicants and rang the jing- Ter for full speed ahead. That is why he left Seattle ana why he returned to Valdez before our love for his memory cooled.
 No more Seattle for Sam. Nine teen more years may wax and wane but Sam will be here.

A. B. AFFAIR FINE

The vaudeville entertainment and dance given by the Arctic Brotherhood on Saturday evening were both very successful. A larger number prooably never attended any affair in Seward. The vocal and instrumental items were mostly good. Indeed, one could only praise and if one could not praise silence would be golden. How ever, the dancing was an unusual sort of thing for Alaska. Miss Hallett is wonderful and the four young ladies are worthy pupils. As their names were not mentioned on the program it must be said that they were the Misses Romig and Misses Carlson.
