TO ADD HALF CENT
ON SUGAR TARIFF
Leading Democrats Are Greatly Wor'

Way to Jump.

WASHINGTON, March 2i.-Demo-
Gratis of the finance committee today
practically decided not to recommend
an excise or production tax on sugar
as an amendment to the pending
house resolution repeating the free
sugar provision of the tariff law. SEN
ators Hardwick and Gore have been
urging such an amendment. the latter
also proposing "A half cent increase IN
the sugar tariff to remain In effect
until six months after treaty OF
peace in Europe.
While the production tax has not
met with general favor ii is consid-
cred probable that there may be some
amendment to the house repeal reso-
luton and several senators say that
temporary increase in the tariff Is
not unlikely A meeting of the full
committee called for tomorrow to act
on the matter was postponed today by
Chairman simmons until Monday.
Meanwhile Democratic members Will
hold further conferences. The ma

CAN'T HAVE BEST
NAVY IN 10 YEARS
Impossible to Train Suffi-
cient Number of Men
to Man Vessels.

WASHINGTON, March "a. - Rear
before the house naval committee
ships were built it would be impos-
sible to carry out the general boards
plan for making the American navy
equal to any afloat by 1925 because it
would take ten years longer to do
velop and train the personnel neceS-
sary to man the navy in first rank.
You can if YOU appropriate enough
money. build enough ships to equal
the ships o. any other navy in three
years" said the admiral, but ships
do not make a navy. You would not
have the men, officers or training
that would bring navy up to first
rank.
why, you can't train chess
PLAYER in five years and how can you
train corps of strategsts IN that
time?"
Eeiterating his often expressed
opinion that the navy never could be
made efficient as long as its policies
were subject to change by every new
secretary OF the navy, the admiral
urged legislation for the establish
rient of IA general staff with statutory
powers and to define and extend the
powers of the chief of operations.
Admiral tiske, who has been Gen.
ter of the storm of criticism of the
navy since he resigned as aide for
operations year ago. was not IN
cined to dwell upon his differences
with Secretary Daniels. In response
to questions he said the secretary had
granted him a meath leave of absence

COLUMBUS, n. NJ. March %. -
Snow and sleet. following rapidly on
the heels of 4 nine-day exhausting
march under whitening desert sun

American troops in the Casas Grandes
district according to reports received
tonight from General ]. j. Pershng.

the troops are equipped for unusual

that the utmost speed might be made.
Consequently the average soldier car

sweater and single blanket for pro-
lection against the cold, no overcOats
or ether heavy clothing being taken.
That the troops have penetrated the
mountain fastness to a considerable
distance below Casas Grandes is indi-
Gated in the preparations being made
here to depend more largely upon
mules and horses instead of motor
trucks for transport purposes. Several
hundred cavalry remounts also have
been received here from Oklahoma
points and are being prepared for
service.
II is reported here unofficially that
the American cavalry in several de-
tachments has spread fan-like below
Casas Grandes reaching distances
ranging from thirty to one hundred
and twenty miles from the advanced
base.
Casas Grandcs. which Is seven
thousand feet high, is ut the begin
ming of the foothills of the Sierra

with climatic conditions in the re-
gion assert that as the Americans
progress further into the mountains
in their search for Villa more severe
weather may be expected. The sleet
storms followed by high winds caused
almost impenetrable dust clouds and
temporarily caused the suspension OF

COL BURCUTT, an Admiral boule-

ant County Attorney George Reeves

tempts have been made to harm Bur-
cutt or so intimidate him that he
would give up his business. Other
jitneurs have run their cars into his
and he has been severely beaten sew
eral times, II is said.

Early Thursday morning Burcutt
received a telephone call and was in
formed that he was wanted to make
an early drive with some passengers
before he started to make his regular
runs. His sister told him that she be-
lieved he would get into trouble and
asked him not to go but he refused
and started off.
Reaching point about mile
north Of the fairgrounds he was set
upon by the Brasiers and others and
beaten into insensibility. They brought
him back short distance when they
left him beside the road. Recovering
his senses Burcutt staggered to a
nearby house and fell unconscious
on the porch.
Yesterday II. G. Brasier walked into
the Justice court presided over by Lee
Daniel and said he wanted to plead
guilty to an assault and battery
charge. Daniel told him there was
no charge against MIN and before he
could accept plea complaint would
have to be made.

charge of assault and battery on the
person of Sol Burcutt. Daniel. know
Ing nothing of the facts, accepted q
plea of guilty from Burcutt and fined

known persons with assault with in
tent to Kill. The arrests were made
shortly afterward and on the recon-
mendation of County Attorney j. p.
Evers all of the men are held with

Burcutt's sister purchased an auto
mobile for him several months ago
and he engaged at once in the jitney
business. From the first efforts were
made by other jitneurs to drive him
out of business and he was continu-
ally harassed and abused.
On several occasions he had one or
more of his tormentors arrested and
at least a half dozen similar cases
were tried and disposed Of IN munich

His condition is said to be precari-

Wednesday near Gibson S ranch
ON the New MexicO-MeXicO bOun-
Diary. eight miles west OF Colrm-
bus. n. NJ, presumably by Mex
leans. according to a story
brought here tonight by a party
of five Douglas people, who said
they arrived on the scene shortly
after the bodies had been re-
moved by soldiers.
-t A command of United States
soldiers stationed at the Gibson
ranch was said to have crossed
the line in pursuit of the slayers.
The names of the persons killed
were not learned. According to
the story told tonight the auto
mobile party was returning from
a pleasure trip to FL PasO when
they were stopped at llermanas
by a railroad section foreman
who warned them that some
thing was wrong at the Gibson
ranch few miles further on.
He had been watching through
binoculars and had seen a
mounted band of one hundred or
more men, supposedly Mexican
bandits, cross the border near
the ranch and ride to water
hole. After watering their horses
they rode back across the line
He added that within a short
time number of troopers OF the
Twelfth cavalry had come to the
ranch house and moved about in
an excited manner.
The autOmObilists proceeded
toward the ranch but before they
had arrived there they were
stopped by a Twelfth cavalry
man who advised them to come
to the ranch house Immediately
so that the detachment could
afford them protection.
The soldiers told them that the
bodies of two women and man
had been found in an autOmO.
bile near the ranch but they did
not know what disposition had
been made of them. After day
light they were allowed to pro.
ceed toward Hachita. They did
not stop there, they said, to make
inquiry about the affair.
. Reports circulated here last
I night to the effect that large
numbers of Mexican troops were
being concentrated within strik.
ing distance of Douglas proved
today to be groundless. Steps
were taken, however. by resi-.
dents to request that patrols OF
United States troops be placed
on guard throughout the city
each night to guard against any
possible uprising.

There are four student aviators at
North Island who are ready to take

need training before being sent into
