Endowed 1t so with love and care?
Millions of cons previous to man,
That just such tree should blossom,

To stand in the field to be looked at?
Do you think that the bark, the stalk
Were all in the mind of the Power

That free to the call Of the wand in

And the water to run with it's song in

The birds to whistle such joy with their

Why was such sorrow given man be-

NEWS PRINT MEN
 WANT CONFERENCE.
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-News print paper manufacturers came here unannounced today to confer with the federal trade commission concerning the government investigation of their industry Their conferences will con- tinue tomorrow.
 Neither the manufacturers nor off cials would hint today at what is under discussion but there was a strong in dication that the subjects considered bear close relation to the activities of federal grand juhy in New York, which has been asked by the depart ment of justice to bring indictments against the manufacturers charging violation of antitrust laws. All evil dence gathered by the trade commiS- sion that would indicate trade restraint has been turned over to the justice department.
 The trade commission in it's inves- tigation of the news print situation has directed its efforts largely toward bringing manufacturers and newspaper publishers together in an arrangement that would give all publishers enough paper at prices less prohibitive than now obtains. Any agreement SC worked out would have to be of an unofficial character as the trade com mission has no price fixing powers
 Francis J. Heney, a San Francisco attorney, is directing that part of the trade commissions investigation that has to do with allegations of violations of the laws. His work will be continued it has been announced, after the com mission makes preliminary report tC congress probably the last of this week

GENERAL SERVICE
 PLAN BEFORE BAKER
TRepubIlcan A. D. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-A detailed plan for the establishment of a national policy of universal military training and service was laid before Secretary Baker today by the army general staff. It differs radically from that provided for in the Chamberlain bill, favorably reported Saturday by the senate mili- tary committee in that full year of training would be required as the ab solute minimum. The senate bill is based on six months training.
 The staff bill was submitted to each of the 36 members of that body and represents the cOncenSuS of their opin- ion. It is understood to have been worked out in much greater detail than the senate bill, which leaves wide de- partmental power to prescribe regula- tions. Secretary Baker has indicated that the recommendations of the staff will be made public later even in the event that the plan does not receive the administrations approval, so that it can serve as a basis for discussion before the country after the adjourn ment of congress and can be compared with the senate plan. Advocates of universal service have urged that a referendum be taken when public sen timent has been crystallized on the question.
 In numerous public addresses Secre- tary Baker has made references to compulsory service which have been interpreted by some army officers as an endorsement of some such system but neither he, nor President Wilson has definitely committed himself. With the staff and senate bills now avail able, many officials believe the ques- tion will be given serious consideration at the White House, particularly in view of the strained international rela- . tions. There has been little prospect that the matter would be brought to a definite issue before the next session of congress, but it is pointed out by advocates of such legislation that il the president should recommend pas sage of a universal service bill, the present congress could hardly avoid a vote on the subject.

FITCH SAYS JAR
 ROBBER CAUGHT
 WITH GOODS O|V

If the charges of Special Officer Chris Fitch, employed by the Arizona Eastern, are proven, the arrest of Lon nie Sullins by Fitch late last night, will solve a mystery that has baffled the railroad officials for several weeks According to Fitch, Sullins, who is em- ployed in the Arizona Eastern freight house, was discovered in the act Tof robbing a merchandise car, standing in the yards between the passenger depot and the freight house. He is said to have been seen to enter the car and Fitch took up a station just outside.
 Soon Sullins, according to Fitch. emerged from the car, carrying a quantity of goods including socks, and other wearing apparel. He is said to of the railroad officer. He was taken to the police station and-booked for in vestigation. Before being locked up, Sullins is said to have admitted that he had robbed the car, but denied tha; ne had accomplices or that he had con- mitted any of the other car robberies
 After Sullins had been placed in the city jail, officers visited his room in lhe Vermont hotel, and it is said they found goods there that had been named in the list of articles missing at some previous times. Particularly was mo- ticed a can of cherries.
 Formal charges of robbing a freight car will probably be lodged against Sullins today Whether a federal charge will be sougth, or whether Sullins will be prosecuted under a state statute had not been determined last evening As the car was loading for Winkleman and was not yet actually in transit, ii is probable that the state statute will be invoked.

WANT PAYMENT FUR
 DANISH WEST INDIES
fRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Urged by the administration to hasten legisla- tion providing for the payment of $25,- 900, ,0O0 for the Danish West Indies and the creation of a provisional American government on the islands, commit tees of both the senate and the house today voted approval of measures for that purpose.
 The house committee favorably re- ported a bill drafted at the state de- partment which would appropriate S25, 900, 900 and authorizes continuance of the present government until other wise provided by congress.
 On the senate side the foreign rela- tions committee approved new bill prepared by Chairman Stone and Sen ators Lodge and Hitchcock to empower the president to set up a government make regulations and name officials, including a governor, to be confirmed by the senate. Appointment of a com mittee to investigate and report on the needs of the people in the newly ac- quired territory would be authorized
 The bills probably will be constructed in conference after both houses have acted.

for the better ones taken from the stables. IT. the corral a short dis tance from the ranch office were three scrawny looking horses aban doned by their former owners, and iR several places the barbed wire fences had been cut showing that in their haste to leave the bandits had taken a short cut.
 From hoof prints around the vicinity Of the corral, the bandits must have turned their horses toward the path leading to Colonia Diaz in Mexico. IL was this path that Lem Salisbury and his scouts followed today in their in cursion into Mexico, but after riding for two miles they lost the trail.
 Other losses reported by James Fons dale, boss of the PalomaS Land and Cattle company, lessees of the Corner ranch. were sixty head of fine horses and mules besides a number of cattle.
 The families of the three kidnapped are grief stricken over their absence. A. 4. Peterson, 3S, the eldest of the party, has wife and seven children living at Hachita. Burton Jensen, 32, has a wife and two children also residing at Ha- chita. Hugh Acord is 22 years of age.
 Lem Salisbury, accompanied by NJ. C. Pierce, Jim Jackson, Eugene Rom
 
 Charles Whiting, Jr.. M. N. Jensen, O. J. Kitchens. E. Thygerson and w. E. Jackson will start at dawn tomorrow morning to resume search for the miss ,ng cowboys. The posse is camped to- night within earshot of Mondays raid.
 Speaking of todays search, Spills bury said:
 For 52 hours we have secured the ridges and canyons for miles on both sides of the border in search of our companions and I am convinced now that there is something in the negro Spencer's statement relative to three Americans being killed by Villistas. fear they are Paterson, Accord and Jensen. However. if we cannot find them alive at. least we might find their 1 bodies and restore them to their rela- tives."
 At Ojitos Ranch : DOUGLAS, Feb. 14.-A band of Vil | listas. estimated to number from three l to six hundred, has reached Ojitos ranch at the Chihuahua end of the 1 Pulpito pass, according to an official message received in Agua Prieta to- I day from an outpost. The bandits are i in position to raid Sonora, the message l said, but at the headquarters of Gen. eral Francisco R. Serrano the idea of [ their doing so was ridiculed. General Serrano, accompanied by a battalion of infantry, arrived in Agua z Pr.eta during the day and established his temprary headquarters. Messages from the expeditionary force under Generals Chavez, SobarZo and Gomez stated that the advance guard was near Colonia Morelos, 56 miles south east of Agua Prieta and near Puipitt pass.
 The Sonora force will content itselt for the present with garrisoning smal towns near the Chihuahua border ant holding the pass, it was stated today in Agua Prieta, but this could not b' confirmed officially.

WON'T INVESTIGATE
 GOVERNOR'S LIFE
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. 14.-By a vote of 19 to 12, the senate tonight tabled the Johnson resolution calling for an investigation of Governor Ferguson's political life. Senators voting to table explained that the senate has no jur isdiction.
 The resolution charged that the gov ernor has violated supreme court de- cisiOns and the state constitution; that members of the boards of certain educational institutions have been forced to resign; that politics has been injected into the management of the state university and the state insane asylum, and that special interests sup piled funds with which the governor paid his campaign expenses in 1914.
 The effect of tabling the Johnson resolution is to kill the measure, which was under debate in the senate during the entir day.
 GovrnOr Ferguson took the floor this afternoon by unanimous consent and defied the framers of the resolution to show that any one of the various charges were true.
