Marino Tames Off
Mex Reservation
And Is Sent For

Fl Paso, Tex, Aug. 6.--Marino
Tames, formerly colonel in the Villa
army. leading about 100 men, is max.
ing his way south and west from the
border tonight in an attempt to join
Villa in the Mapimi district, accord
ing to reports here.
Tames started from Juarez early
today with six men of the defense
corps, after failing to organize a re-
volt Of the garrison. He was joined
by eighty men on the outskirts of the
town and score more from the gar
rison at Samalayuca, thirty miles
south. Pursuing him is a column Of
200 dispatched by General Francisco
Gonzales, commanding the Carranza
army OF northern Chihuahua, with or
ders to bring back the bodies Of the
revolutionists.
In some quarters here there was
a tendency to connect the Tames up
rising with the reported revolt Of
General Luis Medina Barron, former
federal leader and defender Of Tor
reon against Villa attacks, and the 200
men Of his command in the state of
Guerrero on the Mexican west coast.
In military circles, however, it was
believed that the two revolts are en-
tirely separate.
Reports current in FL Paso tonight
that the Carranza military paymaster
in Juarez had absconded with approx
imately $4,000 in gold were denied
by General Gonzales and Andres Gar
cia, local Mexican consul.

which a theoretical foreign fleet at

tertion was directed particularly to

ploded, throwing geysers Of water

OPPOSING THE SALE

DIRECTING TO SECRECY

Copenhgen, Aug, GA number Of
provincial papers, organs of the left
party, are against the sale to the
United States Of the Danish West In
dies. Some Of the left party's mem
bers Of Parliament also arc opposed
to the sale, but owing to the fact that
the left party favored the sale in 1902,
it is expected majority Of the party
will endorse it. The left party has not
held a committee meeting TO take ac-
ton on the matter.
In Copenhagen, conservative pa
pers, such as the Berlingske Tidende,
National Tidende. Vortiand Hoved-
staden and Kristiig Daglad, are op.
posed 10 the sale. asserting, d do the
left party, that the matter ought not
to be settled during the war.
The conservative papers asked why
the government kept the matter q
secret to the last moment, and say
that the government has taken the
Danish nation by surprise.
Some of the papers state that the
islands are worth many times more
than the $25,000000 Offered for them
by the United States.

Platte Valley Men
Organize at Kearney

kearney, Neb., Aug. 6.--(Special.)
Telegram.)-The Platte Valley Con-
servation association was organized
at meeting here this afternoon. The
association was formed to protest
against the holding up Of the waters
of the North Platte river by the
Pathfinder dam in Wyoming.
1t is the plan Of the association to
go before congress and request the
permission Of that body to bring suit
against the government officials who
are in control Of the Pathfinder dam
and who are responsible for cutting
off the Platte water supply by check
ing the North Platte waters by the
dam, which, 1t is said, now contains
five times as much water as can be
used this year.
The Pathfinder dam is a govern
ment dam and it has caused the wa
tiers of the Platte river to become so
low that little water runs over the
sand in this vicinity.

on the liie oi John Ericsson, in
yentor of the Monitor, before the
house yesterday. The eongfessrnan's

tion of having over 100 patents is

Tired Of politics, seemingly, the
house gave close attention to Mr.
Sloan In his running story Of a for

the country OF his adoption.
Mr.. Sloan advcrted to the growing
number OF monuments IN Washing
Ion and the propriety OF 50 honoring
the distinguished inventor. He also
feeountcd briefly the debt this ma

here from Europe at critical times In
our history and gave their talents TO

named Baron Won Steuben. James
Barry. John Paul Jones, Rochambeau,
Lafayette and others. He told Of the

the hope that Poland would again
come TO its place among the nations,
The life OF John Ericsson was in

his death. His studies and services

IN Bernadotte's army, his inventions,

coming e America were outlined.
Eat Of Inventions.
Then his great list Of serviceable
inventions. among them the first
steam fire engine. the screw propeller,
and the instrument that gave birth to
the modern range finder, was re-
counted. And finally the Monitor, the
triumph OF his career; the. fighting
machine that saved the north BY de-
feating the Mcrrimac, was cloquently
described and the results Of its COM

REPORT ON ARMY
BILL COMPLETED
It Is Held Up Because Of OBJ.
lection by President to /.
-, One Amendment II
IT CARRIES s2e7,5s7, 900

Washington, Aug. 6.--The confer
enee report on the appropriation bill,
completed, but held up by objections
of President Wilson nd the War de-
partment to an amendment to the
revised articles Of war, reduces the
total appropriations as the measure
passed the senate by $46,373,447. 1t
became known here yesterday that as
as it will be reported for final approv-
al the bill carries $267, ,597, 900 against
$3l3,970,000 appropriated by the SEN
ate bill, and $4,000 900 by the house.
The report will be submitted to
both houses its present form within
q few days unless the house conferees
yield to urgent War department re-
quests for reconsideration OF the
amendment of Representative Hay ex-
empting retired army officers and en-
listed men from the military criminal
code. Representative Hay said today
that he anticipated no trouble with
President Wilson and the War depart
ment over the amendment. He said
retired soldiers were in fact civilians,
and he saw no reason why military
courts should be called upon to dis
pose of their cases when civil courts
could serve. Opponents of the amend
ment, however, fear exemption from
military discipline will open the door
to acts prejudicial to the army's in
terests.
Total appropriations for national
defense have been reduced from $685.
343,0l7, where they stood on senate
figures, to 637,947, ,282, with the navy
bill still subject to revision. In the
army bill, the conferees made appro-
priations for winter clothing for SOL
diers on the Mexican border, because
it is not known how long the men
will be kept there. s

PLAN TO DISPOSE
OF SPY QUESTION
Attempt Made to Secure Infor-
nation as to Canal Spurs
Uncle Sam to Act.
DRASTIC LAWS PROPOSED

Washington, Aug. 6.--Activities OF
persons suspected of being spies en-
ployed by foreign governments to ac-
quire information regarding the nature
and extent of the defenses of the Pan
ANA canal have made the administra-
ton decide to request congress to sup
plement the existing laws against the
improper acquisition of knowledge of
military and naval plans Of fortifica-
tions.
Representatives of the Department
OF Justice and the War and Navy de-
partments have been in conference on
the'snbjeet and ills expected mat they
viii agree upon some drastic legisla.
ton to be submitted to congress. ''s
May Be Extended.
1t Is possible that the scope Of the
conference may be extended beyond
the original ideas Of a mere protec-
ton OF the secrets of American coast
defenses to cover generally such at
tempts as have been common since
the beginning of the present war to
destroy powder and munitions plants,
upon which the United States govern
ment must rely in time of trouble.
Several of the military, powers Of
the world are believed to have under
taken to obtain information as to the
character of the defenses of the Pan.
ANA canal. The latest incident to ex-
cite suspicion is the operations of a
little Japanese power vessel, osten-
sibly a fishing launch, which sought
to obtain a permit for pearl fishing in
the waters of Panama bay and yicin-
ity. The canal authorities have been
warned that this craft appeared to
have been making surveys and that
these were not confined to the water,
but extended to the isthmus proper,
Licenses Withheld.
While these operation may have
been perfectly innocent in intent, and
only such soundings were made and
bearings taken as might be incident
to the pursuit of pearl fisheries, the
canal zone authorities have regarded
the matter as of sufficient importance
to warrant investigation and report to
Washington. Meanwhile licenses have
been withheld until some general line
of policy can be formulated to govern
all such cases.

Border Must Gut
= Out Watermelon

El Psso, Tex, Aug. 6.-Gloom
spread over the armp camp here no
night with the news that watermel-
ons have been banned by the author
titles. 1t is not that the melons of
the southwest carry infection or that
they are not wholesome.
The army fly expert is behind the
order, which is applied to all camps
along the border. He has discovered
that the watermelon rind is the only
kind of garbage that cannot be prop
erly disposed Of, 1t cannot be burned
or effectively buried. The result is
that watermelon peel is the cause of
the present fly pest and flies, says the
expert, breed disease.
