Moreno Dam had never been more

Still laughing, they agreed.
Hatfield erected his tower near the
dam, put his galvanized iron tanks
on top of them, wrapped the tanks
with tar paper, and poured in his

After affidavits of Elmer Little and

man woman or child who entered the

and that 1.-THE effect of this material
was to cut out the idler gear and

MILITARY FORCE
Of MILLION men
FOR STANDING ARMY WITH
PEACE FORCE OF
100000.
SCENES OF EXCITEMENT
Grave Developments Cause Senate
To Pass Volunteer PrOvi-
sion.

Washington, April 1S.-An army
reorganization bill that would pro-
duce regular army and reserve mill
tary forces in the United States ag-
gregating a million men was passed
by the vote. 1t lisa substitute for the
Hay bill passed by the House, and
the differences will be worked out in
conference.
On the eve of joint session of the
houses of Congress to hear a message
from the President on grave interna-
tional issues. the Senate fastened
completion of the bill amid scenes Of
excitement, repeatedly rejecting all
amendments pending to reduce the
proposed strengthening of the army.
Greater Peace Strength.
In the closing hours Of debate the
Senate made provision for regular
standing army with peace strength
of 100000 men, as compared with
100000 in the Hay bill, which passed
the House, retained after close
fight the plan for Federal volunteer
army reserve force calculated to ag-
gregate $4,000 men, and federalized
the National Guard forces of the
States at an estimated strength Of
100000 men.
In addition to this combined regu-
lar and reserve force of 100. 600 men.
an amendment was passed to create
a school and college youths reserve
corps in time Of war or threatened
war which would recruit a force of
trained young men. schooled by off,
GERS of the regular army, the estimat-
ed strength Of which is anywhere
from 100000 to 100000.
1--WE are creating here tonight, a
peace army of a million men," de-
clared Senator Myers in supporting
an amendment of Senator Reed to
make the regular army 100000. The
Senate had agreed previously by
vote of AZ to 81 to an amendment by
Senator Brandegee increasing it
from the proposed strength Of 1907
900 to $50. 900. The Reed reduction
proposal was rejected. "a to 81, after
a brief speech by Senator Williams
in which he referred to the solemnity
OF the occasion which would confront
Congress tomorrow.
Says War Threatens.
Are we or are we not threatened
with war;" asked Senator Williams.
Are we or are we not threatened
with war from Mexico? Are we or
are we not threatened with war over
the submarine controversy? Have we
not been called to assemble in joint
session tomorrow, the solemn pur-
pose of which we do not ourselves
understand?
"If the army cannot exceed GER
tain number except in a state Of
war, we are now in
state of threatened war II the Presi-
dent Of the United States thinks so.
For myself. l think we are pretty
seriously threatened with interna-
tional difficulties both from the East
and the South"
The apparently grave develope-
ments Of the few hours preceding the
passage of the bill also probably SER

vision. Champions of the National

MAKING NEW CAR.
Dual-Power Automobile a Great
Invention.

Whatis by far the most radical
and interesting developementrecently
carried out in electric-vehicle con-
struction is represented in q new
dual-power car that has Just made
its appearance. 1t is described IN
the May Popular Mechanics Magazine
In designing the machine an attempt
has been made to embody the best
features of both the gasoline and
electric cars. The result is a truly
remarkable vehicle which has the
body lines and general appearance
of an electric, the speed and touring
radius of gas car, the comforts Of
both, and the drawbacks of neither.
The car is capable Of unusual per-
formances. 1t can be driven on ga
soline power alone, electric alone, or
both at the same time. A maximum
speed of about 35 miles an hour is
attainable. When driging on gaso-
line, the surplus power. or that devel-
oped in excess of what is actually
needed to carry the machine at de-
sired speed. is saved. for the motor
automatically becomes generator
and charges the batteries. Should
the gasoline supply run short at any
time the batteries are good for 80
miles. When a steep hill is to be
climbed a driver has the advantage
of two forms of motive power. The
danger Of stalling the car is entirely
obviated; for should the engine stop.
the motor would instantly begin
turning it over at several hundred
revolutions minute. Thus 1t would
not be stalled for as mnch as sec
ond. IL in good condition, and in any
event the motor would keep the car
moving.
From an economic standpoint the
machine is unusual. Road tests have
shown that 1t is possible to get as
miles out of one gallon of gasoline.
For car of the size and weight Of
this one. the record at first thought
seems increditable. While driving
on the engine alone about 80 miles
is possible with gallon of fuel.
While doing this, however. the bat
teries are charged for an additional
Is miles. 1t will be seen that the
trouble and expense of battery charg-
ing. present in all electric cars. are
absent here.
The weight OF the machine is 800
lbs. as against 1900 Id. of the electric
of which 1t is an outgrowth. Since
the battery space is lessened by half,
room is available at the rear to con-
ceal an extra tire. The only way In
which the car differs in appearance
from the conventional brougham 10
that the hood has streamline effect
and a neat. V-shaped radiator 10 pro-
vided at the front. 1t should be
understood that there is no trans
formation Of power except that which
otherwise would be wasted. This
distinguishes the car from those
known as gasoline electrics.

GEN. SCOTT SENT TO BORDER TO
INVESTIGATE CON.
DITIONS.
NEED MORE SOLDIERS
Haven't Sufficient Men to Properly
Protect Line of Com
municatiOn.

General Hugh Scott will go tc San
Antonio, Texas, tonight by order Of
Secretary Baker to get accurate in
formation on the situation on the
border of Mexico.
Secretary Baker would not discuss
Gen. Scott's mission. 1t is assumed,
however, that his report after a con-
ference with Funston, would go far
toward determining the course to be
pursued in Mexico. Military obser-
ers appear to agree that some radical
move must be made soon, either to
back up the troops or withdraw them
as in the present position they are
unable to press the pursuit Of Villa
properly and their presence serves
only to irritate the Mexicans.
Ell Paso, Texas, April 19.-Con-
firmation of reports that the Ameri-
can expeditionary force was being
concentrated at three points in Mex
leo preparatory either for the with
drawal of the troops or the organi-
cation of new and more extensive
campaign was received here today
from Mexican sources.
1t was said that General Pershing
had withdrawn all outlying detach-
ments south of Namiquipa and that in
the neighborhood OF 5000 men were
camped at San Antonio, IL miles
West of Cusihuiriachic, and that
force estimated at almost double this
number was being concentrated near
Namiquipa.
The belief that the American
troops are about to leave Mexico is
widespread among the Mexicans in
Juarez and has completely changed
the attitude of the people, who after
the Parral incident gave marked in
dications of hostility toward Ameri-
cans.
Supplementing reports that the po-
litical situation in Mexico was of
minor importance in comparison with
the economic conditions and the raw
ages of typhus epidemic which has
been sweeping through the central
states, an American mining official
received messages today that relief
was urgently needed II thousands Of
the poems in Durango, Coahuila,
Aguascalientes, San Luis, Potosi and
Zacatects were not to perish.
Must Fight Typhus.
These messages stated tina there
were between 1000 and 5000 cases
of typhus in the city of Aguascali-
entes and similar proportion in al
most every city of Importance in Gen.
trail Mexico, including Queretaro.
The man who received these mess
ages is the head of concern with
very large interests in Mexico and
which in normal times employees sew
eral thousand Mexican workmen. He
said that as far as the lack of food
was concerned, he had tried to do
something toward relieving the dis
tress of his former employees by send
ing corn and beans to points where
the Institution was worst.
81 found" he said, that my efforts
were more provocative of i'll than
good.> If sent carload of corn to
help out hundred of my former
employees, IT would be besieged by a
mob of thousands and would prove
merely the cause of riot in which
nobody would get much of anything"
The Carranza officials are making
strenuous efforts to send food into
the stricken districts and to check
the ravages of typhus, but the dis
turbed conditions in the country are
proving serious handicap.
