INTERNAL MACHINE SENT
Governor of Utah and Family in Dan- ger From Box Left Standing Against House.

Against House.
 Salt Lake City, Dec. Ex-Governor William Spry and members of his family narrowly escaped death or se- rious injury yesterday from an in fernal machine. A neighbOr sweep ing the snow from the walk between bottles of nitroglycerine, to the tops of overturned the internal machine which rested against the corner of the Spry homestead.
 While no clue as to the plotters has been discovered it is believed that members of the I. w. w. attempted to carry out threats made against the governor for not stopping the execu- tion of Joseph Hillstrom. A letter was received by Governor Spry from Chicago about two weeks, ago telling him that an attempt to take his life would be made during the holidays.
 The internal machine was made of hollow concrete, in which were two bottls of nitroglycerine, to the tops of which were attached illuminating caps. To the caps were attached small copper wires, which were being slowly eaten away by acid.
 The machine probably would have exploded last night. It contained enough explosives to destroy half a block. The city police, the sheriff S office, Secret Service operatives and half a dozen private detective agencies are at work on the case.

FL PASO, Jan. 12.-Advices re- ceived here this morning state that Americans were taken from a train just south of Chihuahua, and shot down in cold blood.
 The report states that this action was taken on the order of General Rodriguez Villa, a brother of the Mexican rebel leader.
 Details of the murder. or the pre- text upon which they were taken from the train and executed have not been received, but it is generally believed that the mere fact that the men were of the United States, against the people of which the rebels have conceived violent hatred because of the recognition of the Carranza gov ernment by the United States, was the only reason for the deed, and is in keeping with the threats which the Villa commanders have been making for some time past.

GEN. HUERTA |S
 NEAR DEATH Former President of Mexican Repub- lie Not Expected to Survive
 Twenty-Four Hours.

FL PASO, Jan. 12.--Gen. Huerta, former president of the Mexican re- public. is stated this afternoon to be at deaths door. The physicians in attendance hold out very little hope that he will survive the next twenty four hours.
 General Huerta has been in prison in Ell Paso for several months, on a charge of violating the neutrality laws of the United States. by plan ming an armed invasion of Mexico. When his illness became serious, he was removed from the Federal jail to the home of his friends, where he was closely guarded by the Federal authorities, to prevent his escaping and melting another revolution.

BARNES STILL SORE
 AT COL. ROOSEVELT
Because Teddy May Re Chosen at Chi cago He Will Not Attend as
 Delegate from New York.

ALBANY, Jan. 12.-Wm. Barnes jr., Republican National Committee man for this state, and chairman of the State Committee, announced to- day that, in view of the possibility of Col. Roosevelt receiving the Repub- lican nomination at the Chicago con- in June, he would not attend that body as delegate. but as a mem- her of the National Committee.
 If Roosevelt secures the nomina- tion 1t will harmonize the two par ties, but the Republicans will lose many votes from those who are not in favor of the Colonel handling the affairs of the nation in these parlous times. Col. Roosevelt is an extrem- ist of the most virulent type, and if the party would lose those votes which believe in preparedness. but not for conquest.
 If Roosevelt Is nominated Barnes will be greatly disappointed as he has had ambitions toward the nomi- nation himself, and would prefer Root to Roosevelt, in case he failed to secure the coveted plum.

EOES EXPECTS ID
 GET APPROPRIATION
92, 900 900 Will Probably be Ready for Use in Construction Work
 Within Few Days.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. l2. - Chairman Edes of the Alaska Engi- neering commission. in an interview today stated that an appropriation of $2,OOO,O00 for the continuation of the work of construction on the Alas ka railroad was expected to be re- ported by the appropriation commit tee of the House within a day or two.
 MT. Edes stated that he was ex- tremely anxious to hasten the work on the Matanuska branch of the road and also to begin the work of con struction on the Alaska railroad, was expected to be reported by the appro- priation committee of the House within a day or two.
 Mir. Edes stated that he was ex tremely anxious to hasten the work on the Matanuska branch of the road and also to begin the work of con struction from Kern Creek. the pres ent end of the Alaska Northern road, along the Turnagain Arm to connect with the road now being constructed north from Anchorage Junction, thus opening the line through to Seward.
 The failure to land supplies at Anchorage late last fall, MT. Edes said, had somewhat hampered the work during the winter but with the increased equipment which the com mission will have next spring. and the probability of the line being op- ened through to Seward before next winter, would prevent any further de lay from this cause in the future

The new Russian offensive move ment in the north is the most des- perate and reckless of the war, so far as the Russian troops against War saw, in which regiment after regi- ment is thrown against the enemy, is being used by the Russians and, while their losses have been very large, they have succeeded in inflict- ing heavy punishment upon the in- vaders. and have driven them from a number of strategic positions which the Germans have held and which they were confident of holding without much opposition during the winter months.
 A continuation of the Russian ad- vance will make the German posi- tions in the Riga district untenable, which fact Is seriously disturbing the 'Teutonic military officials.
