He informed all inquirers that he is positively a candidate for the United States sen- ate, to succeed Joe T. Robinson, sub- ject to the primaries to be held in March 1917.

Believes if Commission Gre ated That Will Mean End
 Railway Strikes.

Washington, Jan. i6.-Legislation for compulsory investigation of con troversies between railroads and their employees and the publication of the results, but which world not inter- fere with the right to strike or cause lockouts. was approved in principle by the senate interstate commerce committee today. Senators of the committee feel that any effort to at. tack an amendment for prohibiting strikes will be defeated.
 The administration will continue to insist upon the passage of all features of it's railroad program, Representa- tive Adamson stated today after con- ferenote wit President Wilson. This includes the provision to prevent a strike pending investigation of the controversy.
 Former Secretary of State Bryan came to Washington today to testify before the joint congressional com mittee Investigating transportation problems. Finding the committee not in session, he conferred with Repre-. sentative Adamson and gave his views on the proposed legislation. He said he favored an investigation of rail- road labor disputes by a commission enlarged for each enquery by the tenn porary addition of member chosen by each side, and expressed the belief that if the maqhinery was created in advance it probably would be called into action early enough to bring about settlement before either side felt need o resort to arbitrary ac- ton.
 While he thought the government had power to restrain either side from interrupting commerce, MT Bryan ex- pressed the opinion that month would be long enough for an investi- gation,' with the privilege of extension if unanimously asked for by the com mission. He urged that it would not be necessary to provide for even this restraint if the government were au- thorized to operate trains temporarily in the event of suspension of business

Villa Again Before Chihuahua.


 Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. 16.-Francisco Villa and his command again is at the gates of Chihuahua City, passengers arriving from the state capital said today.
 After defeating General Hernandez and his Carranza command of 1,5OO men at Satevo, Villa drove the de fac to column to La Jolla, IS miles north of Satevo, where another defeat was administered, and the column was forced to retreat to Santa Ysabel and then to Palomas, only IS miles west of the state capital, the passengers stated.
 General Francisco Murguia, who had entrained to come to the border. went to Palomas with 800 troops and took personal command. The presence of Villa troops west of Chihuahua City, government agents believe, is the fore runner of third attack on the state capital by Villa!
 Members of the Villa junta here said they had forwarded to President Will son two days ago a letter from Villa asking if he would be recognized ii he conquered and organized a govern ment in Northern Mexico.

DesiheS to Know if He Will Be Rec ognized, in Event He Gains Con- trOl and Organizes GOvern-
 ment in Northern Mexico.

Washington, Jan. 16.--After todays cabinet meeting, at which Secretary Lane made his final report on the work of the Mexican American joint commission, it became known that the withdra wal of Major General Persh- ings troops from Mexico and the send ing Of Ambassador Fletcher to the Mexican capital may be expected in the near future.
 No formal announcement is expect ed, but the decision of the adminis- tration probably will be made known thru it's actions in the matter No definite date for the withdrawal has been set, but as result of the con- olusion of the work of the joint com- mission, the question is now entirely in President Wilson's hands.
 The lifting of the embargo on the exportation of arms into Mexico has not been considered seriously. This point was taken up once by the joint commission. but the Mexican members said they could not be put in the po- sition of asking for the removal of the embargo while American troops still were on Mexican soil.

MARGUERITE CLARK IS PARAMOUNT STAR
 AT THE ROYAL TODAY
Wonderful Little Actress in Leading Role of 'Little Lady Eileen, a Character of the Emerald Isle.

When lovers meet and WOO and wed do the silly geese think that they are determining their own fates? Do the swains believe that they are so hand some that the girls cannot resist them and do the lassies think that it is their laughing black eyes and saucy smiles that lure the men to propose? Then they ought to pause in their laughter some night and they might catch a faint whisper behind them. It is the fairies discussing whether or not they are suited to each Otheri If the fairies decide that, they are ill-mated, they will uuarrell and part If they seem to the little eaves-droppers to be ideal ly matched, then they will kiss.
 That, at least, is what the little Lady Eileen firmly believes in the Famous Players production of that name in which Marguerite Clark is starring at the Royal theatre today. For Eileen is Irish, with all the rare charm and all the imaginative gifts of the Irish and she believes in the fairies with all her heart and soul.
 And why shouldn't she? If it were not for them how would she ever have found her true love and how would she ever have been rescued from the drunken brute of an impostor who married her for her money when she never knew she had any herself? Only the good fairies could have brought big Stanley Churchill to her when she never knew that he existed and only the elfs of the air could have rolled the giant boulder down upon his flee ing brother as he galloped away in cowardly fear after he had nearly killed Stanley for rescuing the cring- ing Eileen.
 So it is only natural and right that Eileen should offer prayers of thanks to the fairies for all her happiness and for her safe deliverance from misery now that she and stanley are living happily ever after" And it is only natural and right that the irresistible

little Marguerite Clark should bring little Lady Eileen into existence on the screen, as she proves by her equisite interpretation of the character of this happy mischievous, charming Irish girl. It would be manifestly unfair to Miss Clark and to the producers to call Little Lady Eileen" a second Molly Make Believe" since the story settings and the character are totally different, but it is safe to predict that Miss Clark's latest picture will more than duplicate the remarkable success which she scored in the adaptation of Eleanor Hallowell Abott's celebrated story.
 The creative genius of Director Daw- ley is given free rein in this pIoduc- ton, the settings are exquisite and the story is so very unusual as to be fasci- mating. As for the star-she is Mar guerite Clark at her best. The sup porting cast includes Maggie Halloway Fisher, Vernon Steele, John L. Shine, Harry Lee, and Russell Bassett.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-Soaring prices in the wheat market today resulted chiefly from the warlike answer that the entente allies made on Sunday to the peace offer from Berlin. After an extreme ascent of seven cents bush el, the market closed unsettled 52s to 57s net higher, with May at 1.79 to 1.S0ls, and July at 1.455s to 1.46A Corn gained 15s to ?; and oats 114 to 1%. Provisions finished at a range varying from 221a decline to rise of 71kc
 Diminishing supplies in the United States tended to stimulate sentiment favoring the bull side of the wheat market, and so likewise did optimistic messages from the seaboard referring to the number of ocean vessels avail able and to the clearing up of the railroad freight carrying difficulties. A disturbing element late in the day was the circulation of rumors that Germany soon would attempt to block ade the British Isles with a fleet of 400 super-submarines.
 Corn rose with wheat. Oats readily followed the upward course of other cereals.
