GARDNER MAKE. TEN STRIKE:
 SPEECH

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. - Con gressman Gardner, of Massachusetts, the son.inIaw of Senator Lodge, ad- dressed the House today on the que tion of preparedness. Gardner has
 been advocating increased national defence longer than anyone else in the present Congress, and his speech was listened to with close attention,
 the galleries being crowded, and nearly all of the members in their seats. He reviewed exhaustiveIy the military and naval resources of the country, denouncing the advocates of peace, who were refusing to accept the lessons taught by the great war in Europe. He criticised the doubtful patriotism of these peace advocates and openly hinted that such sort of patriotism was little short of treason. He referred to the case of Congress man Buchanan, who was already un- der indictment for conspiring to blow up munition plants in the United States, and in ringing tones demanded that the federal officials investigate all individuals and organizations who were opposing preparedness. Gard ner was interrupted by frequent ap- plause, and when he concluded re ceived an ovation. He was followed by Congressman Tavenner and Hens ley, who endorsed all that Gardner had said. particularly in regard to the investigation of persons opposing preparedness.

INQRE: OUTRAGES COMN|T TED IN
 MEXICO

FL PASO, Jan. 19. - The plant of the Parralcampo Alvarado Mining Company was yesterday raided by bandits, who were ex-ViIla soldiers. The bandits killed the Chinese cook and wounded the watchman. They then proceeded to loot the company store, taking away with them all the food and supplies they could carry. The buildings were not disturbed but as no opposition was made to the outlaws it is not known why the cook was killed and the watchman shot, unless from pure cussedness. The activities of the bandits are causing the administration to be subjected to much criticism by the newspapers of Texas and other border states, who are clamoring for intervention, and opportunity to revenge the deaths of the Americans who were killed at Santa Ysabel.

SHORTAGE WATER |S BECOMING
 SERIOUS

The water situation is becoming serious in Cordova, and in order to maintain sufficient reserve supply in case of fire, the Cordova Power Company has decided to shut off the water during the present cold wealth CT, excepting between the hours of 6 and o'clock in the morning and 6 and o'clock in the evening.
 There are two reservoirs, with a capacity of ten million gallons and eight hundred thousand gallons, re spectiyely. Up until December 1 both reservoirs were running over with water, but since that time there has been a steady decrease in the supply, until at present there is but a million gallons of water on hand.
 For three days before it was found necessary to curtail the towns sup ply, a test was made each day of the amount of water used and it was found to average 5OO.OOO gallons every twenty-fOur hours, or 800 gallons per capita, estimating Cordova's popula- tion at 1000. Of course no such quan- ttty was actually being used by our residents, and there was a wilful waste somewhere. As conditions continued to grow worse, the company was com pelled to adopt drastic measures to protect the town against fire. The water will now only be turned on four hours per day, and if under this arrangement the flow into the reser- voir is not equal to the amount used 1t will be necessary to still further restrict the use of water.
 Care should also be exercised by parties who have boilers connected to their ranges, in order to prevent an explosion of same. The best precau- tion would be to disconnect the boil CTS and if necessary see to it that the coils in the range are protected.
