Favors Game Sanctuaries

The Secretary of Agriculture has reported favorably upon a bill pro- pose1 by congressman Havden, that would establish game s: nc'u- aries for the protection and increase of game, within the national forests. By this bill, its proposed to set apart some of the rougher and more remote sections of the national forests which have least value for agriculture or stockrais- ing, and devote them to the pro- lection and multiplication of vari- ous kind of large game such as elk, deer and mountain sheep It is thot that by this method, the pras- ent rapid decrease of game may be more than overcome.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April z3.-An
outstanding feature Of the annual con-
ventlon here OF the American society OF
Marine Craftsmen was the adoption OF
n resolution calling upon Congress to
investigate and improve existing condi-
tons at the New York navy yard so

The resolution was introduced by
the New York branch OF the society.

charged that the Navy Depart

who are entirely incompetent and unfit
for tho work, men without shipbuiIding
experience. to develop the designs OF
the superdreadnaughts being con-
structed at the New York yard. ana
that they are being paid rates far in
excess OF the rates paid to the expert

FURTHER DECISION TUESDAY.

Decision as to further steps will prob
ably be made at the Cabinet meeting
Tuesday, when all reports from Cen
erals Scott and Funston VIII be at hand.
Genera! Scott has not advised the
War Department that he contemplates

ing General Scott left Washington
with orders to take any steps he saw
fit to acquire needed Information.
General Pershing is believed now to
have mere than $4,000 infantry. cavalry
and artillery in Mexico. In addition to
the 1900 troops sent into Mexico In the
last few days, the War Department was
advised that two companies of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, colored. have
been sent across the line at Columbus
to guard the line of communication.
In addition to the 1900 odd troops on
the border. more than $500 recruits have
been sent there In the last month. These
recruits Will he able to take the place

leased from Mexican service. giving

Officials Alarmed.
There Is no Disgusting the fact that
the White House and War Department
have been alarmed by reports of the
massing Of Carranza's troops south of
the advanced base In the ParraI district,
a move evidently designed to check the
advance south of the American troops.
Reports of the presence of large bodies
Of Carranza troops between Pershing's
base and the American border also are
diequieting, as these troops menace the
line of communication.
