TEUTONS TAKE
TWO VILLAGES
Capture Two Towns and
Force Russians to Retire
to Bend in Darrbe.
az AssocIATEp PRESS.

In Roumania the Teutonic allies
gained another important success in
the capture of the towns of Matchin
and Jijila, in Northern Dobrudja, and
on the eastern Danube bank, oppo-
site Braila.
This capture forces the Russians
to a point just south of the Danube,
where the river bends and separates
Dobrudja from Bessararbia.
At several points in the center line
in Northern Wallachia, however, the
Russo Roumanians are offering 9
stubborn resistance. Petrograd re-
ports the Teutons defeated southwest
of Facsani.
On other fronts only bombardments
and patrol engagements are reported.
Berlin reports, credited from Swiss
sources, that a German submarine
torpedoed and badly damaged the
French battIeship Verite, near NAL
ia, are declared absolutely untrue By
the French ministry Of marine.

SENATE AGAIN DELAYS
IN ENDORSING NOTE

Washington, Jan. 3.-After anoth-
err debate the Hitchcock resolution to
have the senate endorse the presi-
dents peace note, during which Sen
ator Lodge attacked Ambassador
Won Bernstorff for issuing a public
statement approving it, the senate
again deferred action and the ques-
ton will be considered tomorrow.
Senator Lodge said he knew. his
open mention of Won Bernstorff is
contrary to the unwritten rules of
senate procedure. He asserted that
although he accepted the presidents
statement that the note was IN nowise
associated with the German peace
proposals, nevertheless he believed
Won Bemstorff's statement added to
the opinion that the note was timed
and designed to aid Germany in max
ing peace terms.
Other republicans Joined Senator
Lodge in opposing the Hitchcock res
olution and Senator Gallinger intro
duced a resolution to put the senate
on record as favoring peace, but not
carry a specific endorsement of the
presidents note
Senator Smith, of Georgia, sup
ported the Hitchcock resolution.

Full Quota of Officers, Many
Machines, Place Station
on Plane With Others.

For the first time since the navy
yard was closed by Secretary Meyer,
during the Taft administration, has
the local station had its full compile
ment of men and been placed on the
same plane with other naval stations
throughout the country.
AS an aeronautic station continual
development is in progress and to
the already large number of airplanes
here will be added soon second lot,
expected to arrive within few days.
Of particular interest in the second
shipment of airplanes is a Gallaudet,
the first of its kind to be tried by
the United States navy. The machine
embodies some radical designs in
minor details, particularly in the
method of transmission of power.
The propeller is of the four blade
model, unusual in such work, and the
outcome of the flights will be watch
ed with considerable interest.
The fuselage is swung between the
two planes, and the pontoons beneath
the lower plane, allowing two sus-
tanning surfaces unbroken by other
construction details.
The school now has its full num-
Der of instructors, these being Lieu
tenants Evans, Mcdonnell and Spen-
GER. An engineer officer is expected
to arrive today to assume duties at
the yard, filling the position former
ly held by Lieutenant Mitscher.

weeks.

FOUND BODY Of
{. NJ. SAFFRON
AT CITY DOCK
Remains of Well-Knowr1l
Huckster Found Floating j
Near Palafox Wharf. Il
CORONER'S INQUEST j
THIS MORNING.
No Motive Apparent for Foul
Play-Death Attributed
to Accident.

Floating in the slip between Pala%
fox and Central wharves, the body OF
E. NJ. Saffron, a well known bucks
ster, was found yesterday mornings.
shortly after 9 o'clock, by Peter Ver-
dich, boatman for the Parlor Mars
ket. The remains, although very
much mutilated, were recognizable
from several characteristics, andm
after being viewed by the coroners
were turned over to the undertakes
for interment. The remains were at
Pou's undertaking pariors, on West
Romano street, last night, and it id
possible that the interment win bd
made today.
Coroner Will L. Johnson, notified
of some rather peculiar circum4
stances in connection with the dis4
appearance of Saffron, has summons
ed jury and will probe his DEATH
this morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Saffron was last seen early in the
morning of December &c, when he
walked into the police station and re-
quested Captain Wilde to stop his
wife, whom, he said, had lgft, and
who, he said, could be 'sheaded off
between here and Flomaton. /" He
made two visits to the police station,
the first time not meeting Captain
Wilde, and the second time asking if
the captain had acted as he had re-
quested. Then he left, saying that hee
was going to Mobile on the steamer
Tarpon. That was the last seen Of.
him, and it is believed that, carvings
out his declared intention, he VENT
to the Tarpon landing and fell there's
from to his death.
A very deep cash, thought to havat
been made when he fell, was discov-v
cred on the head of the victim, andl
this is the feature which the coroner'ss
jury will attempt to fathora at Thea
hearing this morning. If he did notx
strike on some projecting objects
when he fell into the water, he wast
foully dealt with, and the jury win
strive to clear up such rather mys-d
FERROUS phase of Saffron's death.

MEX|CANS ARE
FOR
SLIDING ARMS
Carranza' Consul at New
York and Others Charged
With Conspiracy.
CLAIM VIOLATION
OF NEUTRALITY
Believe Mexicans Importing
Arms From Japan-Sit-
uation is Serious.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


New York, Jan. 3.-The arrest here
by federal officers of Juan T. Burns,
the Carranza consul general at New
York. disclosed an alleged conspiracy
in which five Mexicans, including
Burns, are charged in three indict-
ments With shipping arms into Mex
leo in violation of President Wilson's
embargo.
According to Assistant District At
torney John C. Knox, federal agents
discovered the alleged plot in No
vember, when packing case shipped
from New York as "builoing ma
terial' broke open on the dock az
Vera Cruz revealing cartridges.
1t was found that the box had been
shipped by Adic Company, composed
of Luis Getting and Woneoslac,
Mont and manifest signed with the
false name by Jose de Lapaz, employee
of the Adic firm.
Getting, Mont and de Lapaz were
arrested three. weeks ago and Reu-
ben Mier was arrested in Houston,
Texas, in connection with the other
shipments destined for Mexico and
sent to Galveston for his care.
The implication of Burns came
when an investigation revealed the
money to pay for the ammunition
was advanced by him, Knox said.

Commander W. Pitts Scott
Purchases First Cole Car
Under Liberty Loan Plan

According to incomplete reports
from Cole dealers throughout the
country, Commander W., Pitts Scott,
a navy officer in Washington, D. C.,
was the first buyer of Cole car un-
der the much talked about Cole Liber-
ty Loan plan.
Commander Scott was in the mar
ket for. an automobile and on Wednes-
day, May %, his attention was called
to the unusual offer of the company
whereby Liberty Lean Bonds would
be taken in Part o. full payment for
Cole cars at the rate OF $102 for each
$10o bond. He then lost no time in
arranging with the Henderson-Rowe
agency of that city for the purchase
of a car under those conditions.
As soon as the announcement of the
plan was made at the factory, compe-
tttion became keen among the dealers
throughout the country for the honor
of making the first sale and tele-
grams, claiming that distinction, be-
gan pouring into the factory in unus'
ua1 numbers. So far as known up to
this time, however, the Washington
sale was the first to be actually re-
corded
