today said man-failure. not machine failure, caused the wreck.
 Heffernan's statement was made on the scene of the wreck one mile west of Amherst, where he went with other state, federal and railroad investi- gators today.
 Engineer Herman Hess, of the second section of the flier. No. S6, will have to show why he ran past rear end of Engineer Leonards first section" Heffernan said. Tower man Albert Ernst will have to ex- plain why he stopped Leonard's sec tion, thus permitting Hess to run into it"

officially reported to be located near the Chihuahua border, not later than this morning. It is now officially stated in Agua Prieta that the column has come to headquarters for supplies and provisions and will leave within a day or two to resume it's patrol along the northern part of the Sonora Chi huahua border.
 Ysidro Aguayo, wealthy rancher of Guisamopa, in the Sahuaripa district of Sonora. 250 miles south of Douglas, but for some time a resident of Los Angeles, Cal, where his family now resides, is reported to be held a pris- oner at his own ranch by Rosario Gar cia, bandit. Garcia is said to have demanded a heavy ransom for his re- lease. Mexicans who arrived from Sa- huaripa today said that Aguayo had sent an appeal for help to Jesus Hur- tado, commander of the garrison there. When they left, Hurtado had not start ed to his aid, nor had Aguayo re- turned to the town.

 foreign governments. he said. it is a fact that last July the department advertised for six inch and three inch common projectiles and was unable to obtain satisfactory bids. And on this account only the department un- dertook to manufacture a large quan- tity of those proiectiles at navy yards.
 When the 1914 bids for armor MT. Daniels said, an English firm, Hadfield's Limited, announced it's in- teEtion to bid.
 "The companies usually furnishing armor piercing projectiles," he added, apparently understood that Had fields Limited, would enter the field and notwithstanding that last previ- ous bids of these companies had been $4a0 to $500. the Crucible Steel com rany, the Bethlehem Steel company and the Midvale Steel company bid at the abnormally low prices of $315, S32G and $334 each. These bids were well under these submitted by Had fields Limited. and that company could not obtain a contract.
 "The condition in the United States today. is briefly, as follows:
 The navy wants more armor pierc- ing projectiles but it does not want an inferior quality such as the manu- lecturers are willing to select as such The manufacturers, although they al or1, they know that the projectiles re- quired can be produced, are unwilling to undertake their production, but are endeavoring to force the navy de- partment to pay the same price for an admittedly inferior production.
 What is the answer? There can be only one; that is for the navy de- 'artment to own and operate it's own projectile plant which will enable it to fill it's owE requirements and pos sibly to improve upon the qualities of private concerns
 Secretary Daniels explained that his request that the enlistment of 15,00O additional men be authorized this year, would bring the force to the figure fixed by the general board in its last communication on the suh- ject approximately 67.O00 men. He suggested that the hospital corps be excluded frcm the authorized enlisted strength in future as in the army
 While the secretary thought it inn probable that more than 10000 more men could be enlisted, he pointed out that with the authorization for 15,OOO and appropriations immediately avail able the recruiting service could he amplified so as to bring quicker re- suits.
 As to the differing opinions among officers who have testified concern ing the necessary complements fol ships. Secretary Daniels said that one of the most vexing problems was that

WHY DOES CARRANZA CONCENTRATE TROOPS
 LIN BORDER WHEN VILLA |S FAR TO SOUTH?

Gomez, toward the south and there give our troops valuable aid in cap turing Rancho fila.
 But as 1 said before, there may be a pacific intention in the movement of Carranza's Sonora army coming so close to the border line. If there is it would mitigate the fears of thou sands living along this border if he would give us one little light of truth on his reasons.
 There is rumor current on the streets tonight that martial law will be proclaimed in Douglas if any more firearms are discovered hidden away. Rumors are floating around all the time about finding arms in certain places. and in order to secure the perfect peace and safety of the citi- zens, the town may be put in com plete charge of the military.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March BOA de- termined fight was begun in the senate today by Senator Underwood of Ala bama, to incorporate in the army re- organization bill a provision looking to the establishment of government plant to make nitrogen from the air for the manufacture of explosives. Ef- forts to incorporate such legislation in the house bill were defeated.
 Senator Underwood declared that no national defense program would be complete without this provision. He

attacked the Du Pont Powder Com. pany and it's agents, charging them with exerting powerful influences to defeat such legislation because of a desire to control all the powder bust ness in the United States and to pre- vent the government from entering the field.
 In this connection he declared that Hudson Maxim, a member of the navy's civilian advisory board, was a consulting engineer of the Du Pc t company and as such had character ized congressman who fought for a government nitrogen plant as pork barrel" politicians.
 Early in the day Senator Salisbury of Delaware introduced bill prepared by counsel for the Du Pont cornpans providing for granting of fifty-year water power site leases to corpora
 tions which would guarantee to erect a hydro electric plant for production ot
 nitrate from the air and supply the government at price to be fixed by the secretary of war. Senator Under

 An amendment to the pending sen ate substitute for the army reorgani- zation bill was introduced by MT. Un- derwood to authorize engineers to in- vestigate and report to congress on the best process for fixation of atmos- pheric nitrogen and the best site for the production of an adequate supply for use in manufacture of munitions in time of war and fertilizer in time of peace.
 Senator Gallinger, referring to bills
 of Senator Smith of South Carolina to appropriate $15,O00,0O0 for develop
 ment of five government nitrate
 plants, said he understood there were only two available sites in the United States for such purpose. One of these was at Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee river in Alabama and the other on the Columbia river in Wash l ington.
 1 A number of minor amendments agreed to without objection included
 one which prohibited the calling out o1 the volunteer army in time of peace for periods of more than thirty days without the consent of congress.

 The l:teracy test as adopted would
 exclude all aliens over 16 years old, physically capable of reading. who cannot read English or some other lan- guage, except, certain relatives of per- sons already in this country and cer- tain classes of refugees from religious persecution.
 Such exclusion specially bars Hin das, and adds to the excluded classes persons who cannot become eligible under existing law. to become citizens of the United States by naturalization unless otherwise provided for by eX- isting or future conventions or agree ments.
 Pacific coast members were satisfied with this provision which gives legis- lative recognition to the existing so- called "gentlemen's agreement with Japanese for the exclusion of the Japa- rese labOrer. and the committee ad- vised the house that there was noth- | ing offensive in the language to the immigration bureau. the state depart 1 ment or to any government.

seldom two captains agreed as to the number of men they needed. The whole matter, he added, was being worked ou, by board of officers.
 The secretary urged the equipment of the Norfolk, Philadelphia and Pu- get Sound navy yards for heavy con- struction and the building of big dry dock at Norfolk. He said the delay in constructing battleships 4S and A had made it sertain these ships would be far ahead of any thing now afloat in torpedo protec- tion. The delay had been urged, he said, by the chief constructor who had only recently completed his plans.

 The Berlin Lokal Anzeitunger today publishes an interview with Count Tisza, in which the Hungarian pre- mier :s quoted as saying that no starvation menaces Austria Hungary, as the country has ample provision in stock as well as a splendid crop outlook.
 Count Tisza declared that Germany and Austria Hungary, who had fought shoulder to shoulder, would form a close economic pact after peace was reached.

days was specified. They will be the most powerful of the army's aerial
 equipment, of 150 horsepower, as compared with the S5 horsepower ma chimes now in use.
 MT. Baker also indicated he might
 accept private offers of aeroplanes to the government from the Aero Club of America and other civilian aviators.
 The Aero Clubs offer to sell two
 machines at the nominal price of one dollar each, while it's patriotism is appreciated, will not be accepted. The offer had not reached MT. Baker off cially. but he said any private ma chimes accepted would be required to
 meet the army efficiency standard and must be paid for at the actual value.
 From PerpIexing to Mysterious FL PASO, Texas, March 30.-The problem of forwarding supplies to the
 American base at Dublan by way of the Mexico Northwestern railroad
 had changed from the perplexing to the mysterious tonight. General Bell apparently on receipt of instructions
 from Washington, similar to those sent to General Funston, announced that he could give no information, to | the press regarding the situation, and other officers and officials were equally uncommunicative.
 The one definite fact is that no new
 supplies have been sent as no train 1 has left Juarez in the last two days | J. o. Crockett, vice president of the
 Mexico Northwestern railroad, said he knew of no arrangements, but that he had a train ready any time to-
 morrow needed.
 From the little that could be | learned here, it appears that the question of gasoline supplies is one
 that is causing the military authori- l ties the greatest anxiety. The motor truck trains are taxed to their ca
 pacity to keep an adequate quantity of food and forage moving forward The amount of gasoline required by
 the trucks themselves and for the
 aeroplanes is very large and con- stantly growing in volume.
 l The most reliable information about Villa placed him somewhere in the fastnesses of the great continental divide, many miles south of Nami- quipa and fleeing in an easterly di-
 rection, with Parral as his objective As far as the actual pursuit of Villa is concerned, the absence fol several days of any definite news has
 given a new birth to the silly ru-
 mOrs and fantastic stories which
 flooded Fl Paso up to a week ago I The bandit chief has been reported ir almost every conceivable place on the map, and in number that are utterly inconceivable. If all stories
 current on the subject are to be be- lieved, he has fought in the last
 few days more battles than Alexander the Great and has had more hair
 breadth escapes than Jesse James. l One of the weirdest tales circu- lated among the newspaper men here
 was promptly nailed by the police
 when they arrested Edward Perez, the father of the yarn, as a vagrant Perez had told a marvellous story
 of his adventures, which included ar
 account of how Villa himself was
