DUTCH FISHERMEN
MADE RICH BY WAR

SCHEVENINGEN, Netherlands.
Aug. 3.-The herring caught by the
Dutch fleet of 725 slips durtns
the year 1915 totaled GIL 900 tons
and brought an average of $40 per
ton as compared with So for the
previous season, according to a
statistical report lust published. The
big German demand were thus res
ponsible for an increase of 150
per cent. A number of ships were
damaged by floating mines, and
nine ships in all we're lost, with
the forfeit of 2S lives. One fortu-
nate motor-lugger, the "Catharina"
earned $65.600 in her ten trips.

CARSON PROFESSOR
MURDERED IN IDAHO
FOUND WITH SKULL CRUSHED
ON RANCH NEAR TWIN
FALLS

The body of Prof. F. T. Hanliil,
v~ice-principal of the Carson high
school, was found about 100 yards
from his cabin on his homestead,
forty-five miles south of Twin Falls,
Idaho. His head was crushed IN,
evidently from a terrific blow of
some blunt instrument, and from
appearances he had been dead for
several days.
This was the news that was re-
ceived by wire in Carson last even
ing and spread like wild fire, shock
ing the entire community. The last
time he was seen by his n%eighbors
was or last Monday evening about
three miles from his home as he
was returning from Rogerson, about
seventeen miles distant. A neigh
Dor discovered the body and at once
sent word to Coroner Crosby of
Twin Falls, who left Immediately
for the Hamill ranch and returned
with the body. A heavy wind and
rain storm had about destroyed
all evidence and clues hat might
lead to the detection and arrest of
the murderer.
1t is reported that the team
Hamill used on the ranch is miss
ing.
An inquest will be held over the
remains today at which it is hoped
evidence may be adduced that will

AMERICAN TROOPS ON
 BORDER ARE ACTIVE

San Antonio, Tex. April 1S.-F'rom Co lumbus. N. M, to points near the Chi huahua- Durango state line American u oops increased their vigilance today against attacks from any quarter.
 General Funston stated tonight that he had not been advised by the war de- partment of it's wishes in regard to the request of the de facto Mexican govern n.ent that negotiations be opened looking to the withdrawal of the American ex- pedltion, but has given orders that all precautions be taken against possible at tacks by any organization.
 Until General Funston receives instruc- tens from the war department no of ficial communication relative to the re- quest will be sent to General Pershing. It is understood, however. that the word has already passed, unofficially, along the line of communication to the most ad- varced cavalry attachments, now in the mountains south of Parral.
 No report was received today from General Pershing of the clash at Parral yesterday. General Funston's only infor- ma ation was that contained in the dispatch from Consul Letcher at Chihuahua indi- eating that both the garrison and the populace had fired, on the detachment of

El Paso, April 13.-Gen. AlvarO Ob- regon, Mexican minister of war, has telegraphed General Gavira, command CT of the Juarez garrison, details of the shooting of American soldiers by citizens of Parral. General Obregon's dispatch, dated Queretnro, April 12, says:
 My department, desiring to bring to the knowledge of the army the lament able incident occurring yesterday in the city of Parral, Chihuahua, between the people of that city and an American force belonging to the troops engaged in the pursuit of Villa, communicates this to you in order that you, in turn. may make it known to your subordinates and give it also to the press so that the peo- pie may know the facts as they are.
 "At o'clock in the afternoon an Amer ican force composed of 300 men entered that city and the authorities of the same

American troops when they entered the town, and that the fire had been re- turned. It was assumed that Major Tcmpkins was in command of the Uni- ted States troops. Major Tompkins' de- tachment Is not equipped with field wire less, and it was believed probable that he is experiencing difficulty in getting his report through to General Pershing.
 Carranza's request for the withdrawal of American troops has caused no sur prise here today either at military head quarters or among the many Mexican political refugees. Consul Beftran had not been informed of the request, but said that he had been expecting it.
 In the absence of instructions from Washir gtcn General Funston issued no orders to General Pershing altering the conduct of the campaign in Mexico, nor had word of Carranzas 8 action been conn municated to the leader of the punitive force.
 In the light of developments at Quere- taro. military men regard recent activity of Carranza troops on the border and along the Sonora Chihuahua state line as explained. It now is assumed that the troops of the de facto government are quietly being placed in position where they might be most effective in Case of an open break with the American forces.

WHAT WILL WASHINGTON
 DO? IS ASKED IN FL PASO

Fl PasO, April 13.-El PasO was in a state of intense anticipation tonight. What will Washington dos was the question on every lip, and was so ab- sorbing n subject of speculation that everything else faded into insignifi- cance.
 The news of the clash at Parral between American soldiers and Mexicans was fol- lowed by reports of serious rioting at other points in Chiuhauhau, but in ne of these other incidents were American soldiers said to be involved. The riots were said to. be due principally to eco homie conditions. The scarcity of food in the cities of northern Mexico has been growing steadily and in many places the masses are said to be on the brink of starvation.
 The worst rioting was reported in Aguascalientes, capital of the state of that name. Food riots in which big mobs took part have been going on spasmodi- cally for the last two days were de- scribed in a message received from a mining concern with large interests in Aguascalientes.
 NO OPEN DISTURBANCES
 As far as this section of the border is concerned, the news of Carranza's re- quest for the withdrawal of the troops has not caused an open disturbance. Juarez maintained it's customary placid attitude and the Mexicans on both sides of the river seemed far. less excited than the Americans

DETAILS OF POLICY TO BE PURSUED ARE
 TO COME UP TODAY
Cabinet to Meet With President and Decide On Plan of Action, and Un- less Germany Submits Evidences of Good Faith Drastic Action May Follow

Washington, April 13.-The United States is disposed to consider that Ger r,any, in the latest submarine note, vir- tually has admitted one of her subma- rines tcrpedoed the channel steamer Sus- sex. President Wilson and Secretary Lan- sing today examined the official text of the communication from Berlin and are understood to have reached this conclu- sion.
 Unless Germany should without equivocation admit attacking the vessels. which had aboard more than score of American citizens inflict adequate pun ishment upon the commander of the sub marine and in other ways show evidences of good faith action of a drastic nature undoubtedly will follow. Details of the policy to be pursued are expected to be formulated at the meeting of the cabi- net tomorrow.
 The assumption of Germany's admis- sion of guilt is founded upon the marked similarity of the circumstances surround inf the explosion which damaged the Sus- sex and the attack upon a steamer in the channel described in the German note. The date, time and location are prac- tically the same. The damage done by the torpedo fired by the submarine and the explosion which wrecked the Sussex are identical The course being followed by the Sussex and by the vessel men, tioIed in the note are similar The only difference in the two versions, that of Germany based upon the report of a submarine commander and that of the United states founded upon reports of the British and French government, affi- davits of survivors and investigations by American naval, diplomatic and consular officials, is found in the description of the

 As an indication he exhibited copy of a Mexico City newspaper which carried all it's news of the pursuit of Villa in a couple of hundred words under an El Paso date line. This account, dated week back, made no mention of the American troops, but said that the con stitutionalist forces had Villa surround ed, and that his capture was merely a question of hours. It also informed the public that General Pershng had been made commander of the Columbus zone in the state of New Mexico''

HUDDLESTON IS APT

| Washington, April 1S.-(Special.l Representative Huddleston of the Ninth Alabama has displayed aptitude unusual in a new member--in se- curing through an extension of his remarks in the Record" an unexcelled
 channel for "frankable' publicity Some days ago, having itceived per
 mission to extend his remarks, he pulp lished column or more of matter complimentary to the great Hebrew
 race which. as 8 rule. has never re- quired fulsome compliment in reach ing a decision as how wisest to vote In these extended" remarks he spoke feelingly of having dined with a well known citizen of Birmingham and having eaten food prepared in accord ance with the ancient custom. While these remarks bore in no req sonable respect on an issue before Congress- and while they served no laudable purpose in converting members to any
 worthy cause. there Is no doubt but
 that their author considered them of
 exceeding great value for campaign purposes.
 And later he "extended'' his remarks In this attempt he consumed several
 more columns in telling the fable of the wolf which, without excuse. de- voured the lamb. He then related the fact that certain comment had been made in his district on account of his defection from the democratic column in the beginning of the session, and his alignment with the republican col
 umn in the matter of the adoption of rules. He took occasion to publish possibly for the edification of other members of Congress-the letter writ- ten by Leader kitchin to T.. H. Motion of Birmingham. letter in which Mir. kitchin declared that any district was fortunate to own MT. Huddleston. As this is a campaign year, many other members are following the Hud. dleston tactics. but none with finer degree of success.

MT. Baker announced later that he had ordered General Funston to take any steps that might be necessary to prevent further trouble. When asked whether this might mean the enforced use of Mexican railroads for the move ment of soldiers and supplies, he said General Funston was on the ground ard would act as any emergency re- auired. The secretary expressed the hope, however, that the trouble at Parral was purely local and did not nresage further difficulties.
