"SAFETY. FIRST"
 EXHIBIT ON WHEELS
Demonstration Will Tour Country Through Courtesy Of Railroads

l Washington, March 15.-The Safe 1 ty First Exposition, which was held l in Washington recently and which de-
 picted what the Federal Government | is doing in the saving of life and 1 property, may soon be brought to the l doorsteps of every citizen in the Unit 1 cd States.
 The exposition was of such far reaching educational value and ere ated so much public interest that. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane conceived the idea that the rest of the country ought, if possible, to be given the opportunity of seeing 1t. He accordingly wrote a letter to
 Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
 timore and Ohio railroad, requesting
 the free use of a complete train for
 that purpose. President Willard re-
 spondcd immediately and offered to furnish an all-Steel train of any necessary number of cars to transport the exhibits. Tlc railroad also agreed to haul this train free of charge over the entire length of it's line, stopping a sufficient length of time in each city or town to enable the people to in spect thoroughly the various exhibits.
 It has been tentatively agreed that this train will be in Washington by May l. and that it will be equipped as rapidly as possible and sent on it's way. An itinerary will he arranged without delay. Ii is the plan of Sec 1 retary Iane that upon the completion | of this itinerary the other prominent i railroads Of the country will be asked 1 to extend similar favors over their | lines and in this way he hopes that | everyone in the country sufficiently in | tercsted will be able to see the eX- 1 hibits.
 The exposition held in Washington | originated with the bureau of mines 1 and though the encouragement of Sec 1 rotary Lane spread to all the other departments until twenty y-seven Fed eral bureaus were represented, as well as the American Red Cross and l the police department of the District of Columbia.
 Great Educational Lesson.
 q am of the opinion that such moving exposition will be of great educational advantage to the Coun- try" said Secretary Lane today The exposition as I saw 1t was a revelation l as to the extent of the Federal Gov crnment's activities along the lines of life saving and property saving. That it created great popular interest was evidenced by the fact that in the veryi

with the de facto government with a view to the possible fixing of date for the withdrawal of American troops. He iLdiC ated that the time element O. any agreement would be based on what developed in the pursuit of the ban dts. As the administration atti- iude is unknown here, a satisfactory demonstration by the Carranza mili- tary forces of their ability to stop once and for all the brigandage in the border states would see the object of the American expedition accom- plished
 Senator Stone. chairman of the for cign relations committee. is thought - have voiced the administration view to tlie senate, speaking after a confer ence with Secretary Lansing.
 The problem confronting this gov ernment," the senator said, lis how long 1t would be wise to keep an eX peditionary force in Mexico. If we adhere to our policy towards Mexico. we cannot keep the army there. To my mind the only alternative to with
 
 intervention
 Senator Stone said that while he had strongly favored the sending of
 he expedition. he had never believed it would succeed in capturing or kill iIg the bandit himself The troops al ready had accomplished something, he added. inbreal;ing up some of the Villa bands.
 Some army officers share the view that the capture of Villa is most inn probable, unless the expedition is in- creased in size and scope to d com oletc military occupation of all north ern MeXico Since the administration 1as no intention to take such a step they feel that the present mission of tte eXreditionary forces is merely an offensive move in defense of the border They do not believe raids on American towns are likely as long as he pursuit is kept up far soutb of he International line.
 Great interest in the outcome of he cabinet meeting today was mani 'ested by members of congress. Many 4'iuiii icH dH to tiit NouiSe lo pe pui sued were received at the White house and by members of the presidents of ficial family.

lof the thirty eight miles of road through the canyon by the Southern Pacific company, under conditions that would admit of the joint use of the road from Deming to Phoenix by the $. F. and the Santa Fe, which the contract contemplated, might be done in the event the road was com pleted.
 The strongest point made at the hearing was that the contract has operated to block up the gateway through the mountains presented by the Gila Canyon, which will admit of a transcontinental railroad having a maximum grade even if the high line were adopted of not over 6-1O of 1 per cent, there being no other route between Mexico and Canada which has such advantages from an oper- ating standpoint
 So desirable was the route that nothing but the powerful influence of MT. Hartman, in Judge Sloan's opinion, induced the Santa Fe to give up this route and retire from the field
 Under the terms of the contract Judge Sloan stated the Santa Fe can compel the Southern Pacific to build through the canyon and to ex tend the road to some point west of Deming. and to permit the use of the Phoenix and Eastern through to Deming for it's transcOntinental traf- fife. But although nine years have elapsed no such demand has yet been made.
 Judge Sloan stated that a United States Court of Equity. under the facts could compel the carrying out of this contract, and thus put Phoe- nix on through line, even if so drastic remedy as it's abrogation should not be resorted to. He showed convincingly the immense ad vantage to the Salt River valley that would accrue if the department of justice acts faVorably on this tre mendOusly vital matter. as he had IeveN reason to believe it would.

ering the facts and the law in the case. The side of the S F. and santa l'e were subsequently pre- scented to the department.
 As result the attorney general arranged for a presentation of the case by Judge Sloan for the Main Line committee and representatives of the railroads. This hearing oc- cured on March 23, 1916
 Judge Sloan claimed at this hear ing that at the time the contract was entered into, the santa Fe was building a low grade transcontinental line from Cadiz, Cal. on the main line to Deming. New Mexico to con- meet at the latter point with the Santa Fe system in New Mexico, and that the contract between the two roads prevented the carrying out of this plan through the purchase by the $. F. company of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad.
 The principal reason presented bv the attorneys for the & P company for not building from Winkelman to san Carlos, distance of thirty
 
 declined to grant a railroad right of way on the low line, because of it's interference with the proposed san Carlos reservoir.
 As against this contention it was shown at the hearing that althouqh the contract for the sale of the Phoenix and Eastern to the S. p. company was made early in 1905, and that the right of way was ac- quired early in 1906, nothing was done towards building through to San Carlos. The right of way was allowed to lapse by limitation, and no new application was made until 1909, when a permit was asked for to construct a reservoir at San Carlos.
 Then the s. P. company applied for q right of way on what is known as the low line
 It was shown from the reports of the government engineers that a line which would carry the railroad above the proposed reservoir could be built at not to exceed $500,000 above the cost of the low line that the low line would be subject to floods and washouts, and that in the floods of 1916 as much as six miles of the low line would have been completely destroyed, and that in other respects the low line would not be so desr- able as the high line.
 Judge Sloan stated that he be- lieved the department of justice was convinced of the illegality of the contract and was hopeful that action would be taken looking to the ob- taining of relief from it's provisions in the United States courts He said that what might be expected to be accomplished would either he the an nulment of the contract and the restoration of the Phoenix and East crn to the Santa Fe, or the building

second place this government con siders it essential to place limit on the distance which pursuing forces may penetrate and believes that sixty kilometers is ample for the pursuing party to come in contact with the bandits or the forces of the country they have entered. The lat ter forces are to continue the pur- suit. In the third place, pursuing parties in such instances can have little use for artillery and infantry, as action must be rapid and can only be carried out by cavalry. Infantry and artillery cannot be considered useful in pursuit of this nature by the Mexican government, as their use may give rise to twisted versions and might be the cause of serious en- counters between residents of one or the other country Furthermore, inn press upon the secretary that the Mexican government believes that for the purpose of pursuit over the iron tier a maximum of eight days time is sufficient for either capturing the offender or agreeing with the forces of the injured country to do so. Lastly, the limitation relative to the number of troops is important, as it is fair to suppose that the number of bandits is not great, and that thousand caValrymen would suffice for the work. If a greater number of troops cross, it endangerS the good relations between the two countries.
 On April the Washington govern ment sent another note agreeing to the proposition that only sixty kio- meters of the border line be con sidered in the agreement and that the pursuing force would not remain in foreign territory more than fifteen days without special agreement. The new note also agrees that no pursuit would commence until after q period of three days had elapsed since 1 the commission of the raid. To this expedition now in Mexico be consid cred special case.
 The Mexican government refused to give it's consent to this request and
 in turn demanded the recall of the American troops.
 Sub Secretary Amador, in his statement. said the American troops had taken heavy artillery into Mex
 ico. Dispatches from the American
 expedition stated that only machine guns and light mountain artillery are
 being used in Mexico.
