HISTORIC EVENT IN
 THE STEEL TRADE Gary Practically: Predicts Advance in Price of Rails

New York, March 5.-What will mark an historic event in the steel trade, an advance in the price of steel rails is con- fidently expected in trade circles to take place shortly The basic price of rails has stood at BPS ton for more than l5 years, fixed at about the time the United States Steel corporation was organized in 190l
 Today Judge Ebert H. Gary. chairman of the corporation, issued a statement that the rail making subsidiaries of the cor poration would maintain present prices until May IS. but would make no com rnitments beyond that date, The an- nouncement generally was taken to indi- cate that such an advance was contem- plated Railroads lately have been break ing all precedents by placing their rail orders almost year in advance.

 Is Expected

Washington. April 5-The child la bor bill, which recently passed the House in spite of vigorous opposition by southern cotton manufacturers and amended in several important respects by the interstate commerce commis- sion of the Senate today will be ia vorably reported to the latter body within a few days. The measure, as mittee, to ,.
 The bill as passed by the House would have prohibited the employment of chill dren by manufacturers of goods shipped in interstate commerce. Amended as 1t is, it will prohibit the shipment in in- terstate commerce of goods in the manu- facture of which children had been em- ployed. The committee held that this change would make an attack on the con- stitutionality of the measure less prob- able
 Another amendment to the bill makes a producer, manufacturer or dealer liable to prosecution if he ships in interstate commerce a product from plant where children have been employed 30 days prior to such shipment. The House bill had made this period 50 days, but had estab- lished a rule of evidence in connection herewith which is eliminated by the com mittee today.

Famous Bandit Said to Be Hiding Near Satevo and Troops Are All Around Him-NOt at Parral
MYSTERY INVOLVED
 IN CONDEMNATION
 TO DEATH OF PEONS
American Troopers at the Front Are Suffering From Intense COld-Is a Job for the Infantry


 El Paso, Tex, April 5.-The story that Francisco Villa is wounded and that his capture is imminent was asserted again tonight by General Gavira, Carranza commander at Juarez.
 General Gavira made public a telegram which he said he had received from General Bertani at Madeira, stating specifically that the bandit had been shot and was in hiding somewhere between Bachineva and Satevo.
 The message is confirmatory of re- ports from American headquarters that Villa was located heading toward wounded is still accepted here with considerable reserve, it is pointed out that several days have elapsed since the fugitive was reported in the neigh borhood of Satevo, on his way to Par ral, and that nothing has been heard since of his movements. If Villa was in full possession of his health and travelling at his usual speed of 40 or more miles day, he should have reached and passed Parral by this time, a fact that could hardly escape being reported
 ON EASTERN SIDE
 Bachneva is on the eastern side of the continental divide about 90 miles from Guerrero, with which it is connected by the famous Bachineva pass. It is through this pass that all accounts agree Villa made his way after the defeat of his fol- lowers by Colonel Dodd near Guerrero. From Bachineva to Satevo the trail runs about 70 miles through a broad, well watered and fertile valley. On each side of the valley, however, there stretches for many miles the widest mountain wastes in Mexico. To search this district would take weeks, according to Americans familiar with it.
 Mystery is involved in the condemnation to death of the three ring leaders of the alleged plot to seize Juarez and their sudden reprieve at midnight by General Gavira. Both General Gavira and Consul Garcia have alternately described the plot ss that of Villa and Diaz followers. As Villa and Felix Diaz represent opposite ends of the pole in Mexican politics, the former being the so-called champion of the. peons and the latter representing the property and clerical classes. there is much speculation in El Paso as to the de- tails of the alleged plot. The Mexican of- ficials refuse to discuss the matter. The alleged conspiracy was supposed to have been matched in Fl Paso. but the Amer lean authorities deny any l-.owledge of SContinued on Page Seven.)

LITTLE OFFICIAL NEWS

Petrograd April 5.-(Via London)-Al- though there has been no recent official news concerning the developments on the Caucasus front. it has been learned from private sources that the Russian armies beyond Erzerum and in Persia are pro- gressing swiftly and that the Turkish forces are offering only occasional resist ance.
 It is evident that the Russian troops advancing through Persia to the Meso- potamia frontier have not yet met the main Turkish forces. These consisting of the Bagdad divisions and reinforce- ments sent southward after the fall of Bitiis and Mush, are reported to be as- serlbling in the Hanilxan Pass and when the Russians reach this point they will be confronted no longer by mountain bands and remnants of, broken and de- n,oralized divisions but with the full strength of the organized Turkish army. Therefore, although an ultimate junction with the British forces is not doubted here. it is not supposed that this consum- nation of the Russian plans will be easily reached
 The German forces have passed quick

NOT RUNNING SHORT

We shall not run short of anything in the future as we have not done in the past he said.
 The chancellor declared it was the in- tention of Germanys enemies to extend the war to the women and children by starving them and that for this purpose Great Britain and her allies have inter- fered with the trade of neutrals.

Conditions of Life in Ger many Is Not Easy, Admits Chancellor, But Teutons Will Fight to the End

Berlin, April 5.-(By Wire less to Sayville. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg pro- tested vigorously in the Reichs- tag today against the report that Germany now or In the future contemplated aggres- sion against the United States.
 The chancellor said:
 The latest offspring of the calum- nies of campaign most despicable directed against us. is report that we. after the end of this war, shall rush against the American continent and that we shall attempt to conquer Canada.
 'This is the slliest of all the impu- tations against us. Equally as silly are the reports that we contemplate the acquisition of any territory on American soil as in Brazil or in any American country whatsoever.

 Everyone among us knows this, and 1t makes our hearts and nerves so strong. This moral force strengthens our win in order not only to weather the storm, but also to achieve final victory"
 Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg in- dicated in his speech today that any sug- gestions of peace on the basis of destruc- ton of Prussian military power would make possible only one answer-the Ger man sword.
 The chancellor stated that if Germany's adversaries desired to continue the slaughter of men and devastation of Eu- rope, the guilt would be theirs. and that Germany would have Ito stand it as men,
 Conditions of life in Germany were not easy the chancellor continued but the difficulties were being met in admirable fashion, especially the poorer classes The crop reports indicated he said, that all the winter crops were better than for many years.+ The harvest of 1915 was the worst of decades, nevertheless the stocks of grain for bread making not only would be sufficient. but provided for coasider- abIa raServe
