Federal Judge Takes Up
the Bartlett & King
Case for Trial
CRIMINAL WORK IS
ABOUT CLEANED UP
Majority Of Matters Which
Cover Crimes Against
u. S. Are Closed

The case Of the United States, for
the use and benefit Of the American
Radiator Co., vs. Bartlett and King
Noble Brothers, J. F. Dings, receiver
F. L. Root and J. F.. Dings, Charles
Chiffon and the Chicago Portland Ce.
ment Co., intervenors, was called for
trial at $3.50 this morning In the
United States district court by Judge
Martin ]. Wade.
This is the second week Of the ses.
sion Of federal court and the case on
trial h expected to consume tho great.
er part Of this weeks time. 1t Ia an
action Of long standing and involves
claims for material used in the con-
struction Of the federal building here
several years ago.
Most Of the criminal work for the
term was completed Friday afternoon
and Saturday. Ray Grammer, in.
dicted for engaging in the sale of in.
toxicating liquors without paying the
government tax, has given bond for
his appearance.
The case against Henry Spiwak
charged with selling liquor without
paying the government tax, was dis
missed on the motion of the United
states attorney after Spiwak had pro
duced Z government stamp. Tho sen
tence OF thirty days in Jail against Kal
man Spiwak on similar charge was
suspended. Tom Hammersly and Abs
BORROW were each fined thirty days IN
Jail and 500 on the same offense.

|MEX|CANS SEND
AID TO M0RM0NS F
CAVALRY REGIMENT DISPATCHED
TO GUARD AMERICANS IN
RETURN TO U. S.

Ell Paso, Dex., March 13.-Cavalry
troops have been dispatched from
Laguna on the line of the old Mexican
Central railway north of Chihuahua
City direct to Casas Grandes to aid
the 500 members of the Mormon col
ony concentrated at that point but
now cut off from communication with
either Chihuahua or Juarez.
Gen. Gavira, commandant at Juarez
received news Of the hew cavalry
movement from Gen. Cara this morn.
ing. 1t followed Immediately on the
report of scout train that made q
run down the Mexican and Northwest.
ern line in the direction of Casas
Grandes but turned back upon seeing
smoke ahead at Santa Sofia, which
seemed to come from burning bridge.
Villa was last reported in the neigh
borhood of Corralitos, not far distant.
Assuming that Villas forces were
there the train returned.
Some months ago the bridges on the
section Of the road between Madero
and Temosachic, below Casas Grandes
were destroyed by Villa. AS the tele.
graph wires to Casas Grandes stopped
working suddenly late yesterday, as II
cut, the Mormons are now completely
isolated But Gen. Gavira says his
forces there are ample against Villa.

BELL TELEPHONE
AIDING THE ARMY
ANNUAL REPORT OF PRESIDENT
HINTS At COOPERATION
WITH THE MILITARY.

New York, March 13-An increase
Of more than $13,9OO,0OO in the gross
earnings Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co., last year over 1914
Is shown by the annual report of
President Theodore N. Vail, made pub
lie today. Total gross receipts Of the
company, not including the connecting
independent companies, last year were
$239, 900, 900. The companys net earn.
ings were $41,117,4S7 and dividends
amounting to $29, ,100,591.
The Bell system, President Vail re-
ports, now connects 9,151,221 tele.
phones, q gain Of half million sta
tions in year. 1t is estimated that
$o7 100000 will be spent in new con-
struction this year. The company
added 1,029,951 miles to its system.
making total of 18,505,545 miles. An
interesting feature of the report Is
that substitutes for supplies used by
the company which previously We're
obtained abroad, have been provided
by the engineering department.
The report declares that the en-
gineering department has done "tm-
portant and confidential work with
representatives of the army and navy
to work out system of communica.
tion "unequalled by any other nation
in connection with national defense
plans.
Regarding the suggestion Of public
ownership, President Vail declares
there is little likelihood Of this as long
as the present policies are followed.

.F|GHT|NC ABOUT
VERDUN CALLED
THE WORST EVER
BRAVE EFFORTS OF GERMANS TO
STORM FRENCH POSITIONS
PROVE COSTLY.

Paris, March 13.-The German
losses In the fighting around Ft. Vaux
last Friday and Saturday surpass all
previous records in this war, accord.
ing to officers who have returned from
Verdun. Time and time again the Ger.
mans rushed from their trenches only
to melt away under the fire Of the
French. When the smoke and dust
cleared nothing was to be seen but
heaps of bodies.
The spur on which the fort Is stu.
ated is almost perpendicular in certain
places. The German lines were forced
to halt but many Bavarian reservists
climbed up on one another's shoulders
and struggled up the slope, clinging
to angles of rock and grasping tufts
of grass. Again and again these hu.
man pyramids collapsed into shapeless
gray masses. In the places where the
incline was easier and the attacks
therefore more concentrated, the
bitches below ran red with blood. At
the lowest estimate the attackers lost
two-thirds of their effectiveness.
The fighting also was desperate in
the extreme when regiments from the
fifteenth and eighteenth Germany
army corps attacked the village OF
Vaux on Friday.
1t took four distinct assaults before
the first column of Germans won the
shelter of a small group of houses be.
yond the church Of Vaux. They then
organized an assault upon the church
and the French, being unable to bring
up reinforcements on account of the
German curtain of hre, withdrew their
advanced elements which were In dan
ger Of being surrounded. FIVE times
the north Prussian regiments rushed
to-. attack the church but every time
they left the shelter Of the ruined
houses they were beaten back, In the
meantime in their rear q curtain Of
fire was kept up so that II was impos-
sible for munitions and reinforcements
to be brought up for their benefit and
the fight died down on Saturday night
from sheer exhaustion.

DEMURRAGE NOT
TO BE INCREASED

Des Moines, March 13.-In state
ment made public today, John Az
Guiher, Iowa railroad commissioners
said he had received information that
the interstate commerce commissions
would not increase demurrage charges
as a means Of ending the car short
age. Mr.. Guiher represented lows.
Nebraska and Kansas at the recent
Interstate commerce meeting at Wash.j

commission will adopt other means t0
relieve the shortage. e
The present car shortage, Mr.. Guiher1
said was found to be due chiefly tn
congestion of cars in Atlantic ports.'
The congestion was due, he said to the

that on account Of the German often
sive at Verdun the Dutch-Belgian
frontier had been closed for several
weeks. That part Of it south Of Mas

fact Is commented on in Holland as
probably indicating that the Germans

Paris, March 13.-The first oficer of
the Norwegian bark Silius Is quoted
by the Paris Herald as saying the
vessel may have been struck by a
bomb from an aeroplane instead Of by
torpedo. as previously reported.
The first officer was on watch at the
time and heard noise which he
thought was an aeroplane although he
could see none. Then there came a
terrific explosion at about the middle
of the ship on the port side.
The crew got into boats with great
difficulty and cleared the Silius just as
mast fell. A French torpedo boat
took all on board.

TROOPS GATHERING.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 13.-Daylight
revealed the beginning today of the
expeditionary force which the United
States army is gathering along the
border west Of here for the pursuit
of Francisco Villa. Six mountain
guns, unloaded during the night,
were in readiness at Columbus, N NJ,
the scene Of Villas raid, and the first
armed camp to develop evidences that
it has been selected as one of the
starting points for pursuit column.
Fifty-seven carloads of battery mules
and transport animals, also arrivals
Of the night gave loud evidence that
more guns were coming. Eleven hun
dred men were in the Columbus camp
this morning.
Along 200 miles of the border west
Of here troop trains were reported
passing various points during the
night, the result of orders released
Friday by the war department.
Nogales reported that few can
non had been discovered in the Mexi-
can hills facing the American boun-
dairy near there but elsewhere along
the line where the American troops
were gathering no signs Of d1squ1et-
ing activity along the Mexican side
were reported.
The drag for Villa sympathizers In
Ell Paso last night resulted in the ar
rest of four generals, one generals
secretary, a physician and an Ameri-
can. The generals, all former Villa
commanders, were Manual Medina
veitia, once chief of staff, Julio Fab
ella, Samuel Rodriguez and Juan Ro-
driguez. The American gave his name
to the police as E. A. Talbot. The
physician, DR.. Villareal, was former
ly an active Villa worker.

There has been no cessation of the
artillery play, however, the lombard
ment continuing along much Of the
front. 1t was particularly severe in the
Woevre district, where the French
guns have been searching out hostile
positions, indicating the, probability
that some move by the Germans to the
east or southeast Of the fortress on the
French flank is anticipated. 3
