ston's realignment of the border patrol is being delayed, war department ofd- cials said tonight, because of slow mobilization of the Arizona and New Mexico National guard and by ae disapp pointing showing in numbers and equipment of some of the guard com panies that have reported for service.
 Arizona Troops Slow.
 Although it has been ten days since President Wilson called out the Texas. Arizona and New Mexico guardsnen for patrol duty along the border their mobilization and assignment is far from complete. The Texas companies responded promptly, but in the other two states the call has not met with as quick a response as officials ex- pected.
 Companies Below Paper Strength.
 In addition, so many Companies fn all three states have been found to be below their paper strength that the war department now expects the total gEardsmen provided will not be more than 5000, and probably a few hun dred less. When the call was issued it was depended on to add $500 men to the border patrol.
 So far General Funston has reported only in a general way on the national guard mobilization, but a fuller report is expected early next week Officials hope that by that time the reassign- ment of troops along the border vii have been completed.

REPUBLICANS FILlRusTERINe
 ON THE SHIPPING BILL
Trying to Prevent It's Passage Before
 Adjournment.


 Washington. May -Filibustering Republican Leader Mann tonight pre- vented the demoeratis from carving out their plan to pass the adninistra- ton shipping bill before adjournment. Debate on the measure closed at 4 o'clock this afternoon and three hours later it was ready for passage Vir- tuaIly as reported by the committee, in spite of persistent effort to amend it. Representative Mann demanded teller votes on many of the hundred or more amendments offered by republicans and while a final vote on the measure it. self was about to be taken he insist ed that the formality of reading the engrossed bill be observed. As the bill had not been engrossed, there was nothing to do but adjourn. The vote row afternoon.
 Early in the day while the house was in the committee of the whole, the re- publicans succeeded in striking out the section providing for the purchase of ships by the government, but this was restored by the house itself. The only result of the strict party vote by which the section was stricken out, 10e to 90. was to give the republicans an opportunity to cheer and laugh at the discontinue of the democrats over hand to vote. Majority leaders inn mediately sent out hurried calls fol members and when the section again was voted on it was restored by g vote of POS to 152 Indications to- night were that the bill would pass without vital amendment by almost g strict party vote.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF
 A HUMBER WORKER
In Car That Went Over Embanknent
 Sustained Only Scratch.

Milford, Conn, May 19.-Frank Constineta, an employe of a lumber company here, entertains the belief, after an experience today, that, he has charmed life. He was inside freight car when another car was shunted down a siding with such force that it sent the car in which Constinata was at work over the embankment and down into High street where it brought up against a telephone pole. The lumber in the car shifted and pinned Constinata underneath Fully fifty men lent a hand to rescue him. the impression being that he had been crushed to death. Finally the men got enough lumber off to be able to talk with Constinata who said he was not hurt. An hour later he had been released, placed in an automobile and sent to the Bridgeport hospital al- though he had scarcely a sign of a scratch.

DANIELS ASKS RESERVATION
 OF CALIFORNIA OIL FIELDS. Vital to Navy in Plan for Adequate
 National Defense,

Washington, May. 19.- Secretary Daniels appealed to President Wilson today to use his influence to save the navy's reserves in the California oil fields as a vital step in the campaign for adequate national defense.
 Should the bill be favorably report ed by the senate public lands com nittee to Iegislate certain entries on lands withdrawn by President Taft in 1909, become a law. MT. Wilson was told. the navy must abandon oil fuel ana return to coal, with a consequent loss in steaming radius and speed to it's ships.
 Navy designers have advised the secretary that it would be unsafe to continue construction of oil burning battle craft unless an ndequate re- serve of fuel was in sight. MT. Dan iels submitted a full summary of the situation and the president began studying the problem immediately. as the bill probably will be taken up in the senate next week.

M Twenty-Five Mexican cowboys from the Hearst ranch at Babicora scat tered a newly formed band of bandits near Madera, about a week ago, kill ing fifteen, wounding one and captur- ing six, according to news reaching here today.

 Employes of the ranch surprised the bandits in camp. The six taken pris- oners were delivered to Carranza au- thorities in Madera.
