General Pershing Will Very Likely Direct a Thorough Search of Hills South of Guerrero
CAVALRY SWEEPING
 THROUGH DISTRICT OF HUNTED BANDIT
No News Received in Wash ington Yesterday-Eng- fish Newspaper Man Re- ported Murdered

San Antonio, Tex, April 2.-Unless Francisco Villa is definitely located
 within the next day or two, it is be- < lieved here that General Pershing will ! begin search of the mountains west and south of Guerrero. Since the de- ! Heat of Villas forces March 29 in and near Guerrero, lightly equipped de- &tachments of cavalry have been sweep ! ing in whirlwind fashion through the district about the headwaters of the Santa Maria river in efforts to locate the elusive bandit, reported to have }gone in that direction after being ' desperately wounded.
 General Pershing did not get a re- port through to General Funston to- ! day, but his chief of staff reported, in ] dicating that the line of communication was maintained. No mention of news l of Villa was made.
 WAS PROBABLY DECEIVED There is increasing belief that Gen \ Feral Pershing may have been deceived in regard to the direction taken by Il Villa and even concerning his injuries Some information has been received in dicating that he was not injured at all and that instead of going northeast of AGuerrero he had moved into the hills \ to the south and east, direction American army officers had expected him to take.
 \ No official news has been received of \ the operations of the Mexican govern zment troops which were expected to pre- 3vent Villas escape to the mountains State department advices regarding Icondtions in Chihuahua and other lparts of Mexico were transmitted to General Funston today, but none of the 4 dispatches were made public here. It was stated at army headquarters, how ever, that there appeared to be reason to believe that Colonel Cano, who was | leading one of the heavier forces against Villa, had revolted against Car
 ranza and had joined Villa.
 Another story given some credence at army headquarters was that Villa was headed for Chihuahua City. The advanced cavalry of General Pershing | is not far from Chihuahua
 SUNDAY BRINGS NO NEWS Washington, April g. - Sunday brought no news to the war depart ment about the hunt for Villa. Since of and his troopers had routed the main command of the outlaw chief virtually no word has reached Washington re- garding the operations in the Mexican situation.

THE ALLIED OPPOSITION

Senator Underwood declared this after noon he considered the prospect for his amendment bright. although he admitted that a strenuous effort would be neces- sary to overcome the combined opposition of the conservationists, the powder man. ufacturers, the Chilean government, pro- fessional pacificists. and the chairman of the Senate military bill.
 In the House. as is remembered the air-ntrate section of the military bill was beaten through the opposition of the republican party, and the defection of a score of democrtic conservationists. When the bill reached the Senate, the Under- wood amendment was offered. The Ala hamian declared, in offering the amend ment, that the Senate should make aI subject of special inquiry the fact that the Senate bill providing for army of 600 men and formidable navy, failed to provide a source of nitric acid or gum powder. without which men and arma- ment would be useless He declared that it would be disgrace and unworthy of the Congress of the United States to enact preparedness" bill without provision for the securing of permanent and adequate supply of explosives.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee which produced the bill, declared that the necessary clause was not incorporated in his measure be- cause of his understanding that the Smith bill, containing the identical idea, was in course of preparation. His opposition to the Underwood amend ment may be attributed to the criticism of the Alabamian, or to that pride in his own production which would resent an effort to change it in any particu- lar.

Underwood Amendment to Army Bill Most Important. Would Provide Powder for Army and Navy
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, April ?. = ISpecial.) There is no more certain indication that the air-nitrate scheme is taking hold than the fact that nanufactur- CTS of gunpowder and other high ex- plosves are strenuously opposing the passage of pending legislation.
 The DuPonts have confined their ac- tivity to lobbying orally against the Underwood amendment and the Smith sir-nitrate bill, and to an attempt through the introduction of measure of their own, to muddy the waters. Their tactics. therefore. differ to a certain extent from those of the Beth lehem Steel company, which, in an ef- fort to defeat the Tillman armor plate bill, is issuing daily mall matter con taining succinct and potent argument against that project.
 The Smith bill has been "doctored' by the conservationists to such an extent that in the event of its passage, the gov. ernment could not sell or lease surplus water power, or dispose of the right in times of peace. of manufactureing fertil. izer

milk bottles are to be taken from
homes in which there is typhoid. HIS
orders are to be carried out very
strictly.

they deemed them necessary. Dr.

the way in which the diaries were be-
ing operated. Mr.. Boyle will return to
Newton in the~near future. He re-
ported that only two restaurants adj
mitted that they were using milk from
