 A conflict of authority between the council of the Workmens and soldiers dcnuties and the government has been receiving much attention in the newspapers. An exaggerated jealousy of the rights of the people IS the carse of the friction. The council has announced that it is it's preroga- tive to ignore governmental authority when. in it's opinion, such authority overrides popular freedom.
 The newspapers are filled wi~h ap- peals to the Workmen to subordinate themselves to the needs of the army and to resume activity in disorganizeG factories. many of which still arc virtually at a standstill.
 Much of the unrest and dissatis- faction among the worl1men is at triDuted to the reInanant of the old police organization, members of the Black Hundred and German agents by members of the duma.

GASOLINE FUMES
 NEARLY KILL MAN

Jack Kennedy 23. of Spokane, Wash, barely escaped death by asphyXiation al the Elite rcoming house at Il o'clock last night when, after washing some clothes in a bowl of gasoline, he fell asleep in poorly ventilated room. The strong gas fumes overcame him within a comparative short time. He owes his life to violent vomiting, which at tracted the attention of Ed F'reese. t-lf adjoining roomer. who summoned help.
 It was at first reported that Kennedy had attempted suicide by drinking q quantity of gasoline, but his state ments were later borne out by the presence of a bowl of gasoline in his room and the smell of gas on his clothing.
 It was several minutes after officers arrived before kennedy's mind had cleared sufficiently so that he could tell his story. He was later taken to police headQuarters and held for inves- tigation. Officers Barnum and Stratiy responded to the call.

McNI EFlEDEO, Uruguay, April s. The newspapers devote many col umns to the war between the United States and Germany.

Says Conditions Satisfactory

WASHINGTON. April. S.-A report from General Pershing today that con- ditions along the border were very sat isfactory led war department officials to doubt very seriously reports that Villa was moving northward with any large force. State department officials also said there was no information to indicate that Villa had control of any .arge number of men.
 General Pershins has informed the department that there are no wings of German intrigues on the border and that he does not anticipate any trouble.
 Conditions at the Mexican capital, however, are reported to the state de- paItment as not being so satisfactory as differences between the civil and military factions have widened consid- erably of late.

ing MT Kitchins opposition to the
 war resolution. members of the com mittee are prepared, however, to re- lieve him of this duty, should he personally oppose the plan. In that event it probably would devolVe upon Representative Rainey. ranking majority member of the com mittee, or Representative Hull o1 Tennessee, to carry through the pro- gram.
 Chairman Simmons and his col
 leagues of the senate finance com mittee have been in frequent confer ence with Secretary McAdoo during the last few days.
 Indications are that the administra- tion's financial program will meet with overwhelming support in both houses and that the proposed bond issue will be authorized without loss Of time.
 Considerably more time. it is thought, will be consumed in the pass age of the war revenue measure to follow. Sentiment in congress. apar- ently crystallized in support of the program of advancing an enormous loan to the allies, varies greatly as to the methods to be pursued in raising revenue through taxation.
 In general terms, it seems certain the bulk of the additional revenue will be raised through revision of the income and excess profits tax laws It is also likely that the tax on whiskey, beer and tobacco will be raised
 As to what outlines the income tax law will assume upon emerging from the committee, one mans guess an of ficial, said tonight is as good as an- others. There appears to be a general sentiment for lowering the present ex- emption and raising the rates heavily on large incomes. A graduated scale may be adopted in revising the excess profits tax law
 Suggestions that part of the war revenue be raised by the imposition of stamp taxes on checks and other doc uments and that a consumption tax be placed on sugar, tea and coffee 1 have been made in both branches of congress and it appears likely these will be considered.
 Officials in charge of the financial problem found themselves today the center of a country wide bombardment 1 of telegramS and letters of approval From every section came assurances | of support. Offers of co-operation were received from individuals, organi- cations. firms and banks. Many of the latter offered to place at the dis posal of the proper authorities all means within their power for distri- button of and aiding in the sale of the | bonds.
 l Expecting the usual variance of opinion generally manifested with the announcement of any proposed finan- l cial legislation officials were stirred by the unanimity of the approval and the 1 unmlStakahle note of patriotic support in the great volume of communications received. They expressed their satis- faction with predictions that when the ! big bond issue is offered for sale the response of the nation will be such as 1 the world never has seen before.

pie to worship on the "dia de gloria" Easter Sunday-in this war told old town of the border today.
 All night troop trains from Chihua- hua City had been discharging their loads of soldiers until the streets, the market houses ard even the church lnrds were filled with little camps, where women and children squatted over the charcoal braziers preparing food for their fighting men,
 Troop trains were shunted from ore end of the town to another and left in a cloud Of dust for the desert trip to Casas Grandes after Villa. Green and red battle flags, with the skull and cross bones insignia of the Murguia death brigade. flnttered from each locomotive and men, women, horses, babies, dogs and baggage fill cd the ooX cars which made up the trains. One train was filled with YaTui Indians, sturdy squat, little, men with red hat bands to designate their regiment, commanded by fat little General Guillermo Chavez. who carried Villa bullet in his right leg. These Indians will be used as scouts land trailing the Villa followers. All of the soldiers wore from one to three belts of cartridges strapped ac1oss their chests, and one boy wore four, staggering under the weight of lead.
 At General MurgIia's headquarters, his military band played all day, alternating between Mexican love songs and Sousa marches for the entertainment of the general and the pleasure of the gallery, which stood all day to get a glimpse of the com mander of the north. Boy staff of ficers swaggered ill and out of the car orderlies brought messages from the telegraph car nearby, while Gen eral Murguia held a levee for the civil and military officers of the bor- | der town.

Man Who Killed Artists Model Is Still Unknown
 to Philadelphia Police

Philadelphia, January 2-New facts bearing on the life of Marie Colbert, the artists model found murdered in her apartment here late Sunday night under mysterious circumstances, were revealed to the police today by city employe who said he knew the girl and her family.
 Miss Colbert was infatuated with a uni versity of Pennsylvana graduate and former football player, but they had been estranged for several months, the au- tkorities say the municipal employe told them. Several weeks ago the man who lives at Cynwyd, a suburb, sought a reconciliation, and arranged for dinner party with the young woman on New Years day, according to the detectives informant. One theory of the police is that another of Miss Colbert's admirers learned of the reconciliation and began a jealous quarrel that ended with the girl S death.
 The police today tried to locate the young Cynwyd man. but did not succeed. They expect to find him tomorrow. To show the depth of the girls infatuation for him the city employe is said to have related an alleged incident in which Miss Colbert in a jealous rage attacked the young man at a hotel ball because she had not been invited and because he was dancing with other women.
 The authorities are now convinced that wealthy clubman from another city, who had been under suspicion, is not the slayer. A further examination today showed that the girl was beaten and kicked, but that death was due to strangulation. Her front teeth were knocked out, and a silk stocking was tied tightly around her neck
 The son of an upstate brewer ques- toned for hours Monday by detectives, was soupght today, but could not be located.

ACCOMPANYING STATEMENT

It also was announced for the first time that at the time the protocol was sent to Mexico it was accompanied by brief statement agreed upon by the joint com mission as follows:
 Tt shall be understood that if we meet for the discussion of other questions, the American commissioners will not ask that any final agreement shall be reached as to any such questions while the Ameri- can troops are in Mexico"
 Carranza's reply was not made public. He is understood to have taken the posi- ton that he could not sign the protocol because 1t would put him in the position of sanctioning the presence of American troops on Mexican soil.
 Three resolutions directing the Secre- tary of War, the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit to the House information relating to the shipment of arms and war munitions into Mexico, in alleged violation of law, were introduced today by Representative Kahn of California.
