 Mexican Wife, and Brings In-
 Sulting Threat From RObber.

Hachita, N. M., Feb 15.-Three bodies, later identified as those of An drew P. Peterson, Hugh Accord and Burton Jenson, late today were found by Lem Spillsbury, the Pershing scout, one mile west of international boun- diary marker Mo- B, three miles west or Corner ranch.
 The bodies of the three Americans were found about 50 feet apart, ac- cording to Spillsbury Each victim had been shot many times in the head with rifles and pistols, judging by the bullet wounds, Spillsbury said. Ac- cords head was horribly mutlated.
 All the bodies had been stripped of clothing, hats and shoes. Spillsbury said he had located the raiders trail carly today, and came upon the bodies late this afternoon. From what the Mormon scout said, he is convinced that the Americans had been taken into Mexican territory from American soil and then killed.
 Government agents, after an inves- tigation of the raid, reported to Wash ington that the Mexicans, under Prudencio Miranda, were eating din- her at the ranch house on the Ameri- can side when Peterson. Jensen and Accord rode up unarmed. The Ameri- cans were made prisoners. The re- port also confirmed previous reports of the "Corner" ranch raid.
 Acting under instructions from Col. F. c. Sickle, commanding the Colum- hus camp, Lieut.-Col L. C. Waterman, in charge at Hachita, ordered all available troops from here to the "Corner" ranch. The troops left for the new post tonight.

More Optimistic Tone, De- spite Discovery of Plot
 Among Havan Police.

Havana. Feb. 15.--In spite of the plot among certain members of the Havana police against the govern ment. there is a more optimistic tone in government circles tonight. due to the loyalty of the navy, and also to the belief that Santiago soon will be recovered from the revolutionists by the government forces.

 Traffic Men Assert.
EARLY RELIEF IS
 NOW IN PROSPECT
Scandinavian Vessels to Resume Sail ings and England Will Further Re. lieye Situation by Permitting
 Ships to Avoid Submarine Zone.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The chief railroads of the country tcok sum- mary action to relieve the shortage of freight cars and traffic congestion at Eastern seaports, again approaching g an acute stage because of the curtail- ment of transatlantic sailings by Germany's new submarine campaign.

 Adoption of resolution tantamount to verbal embargo on all export shipments through Eastern ports, un- til part of the vast accumulation al ready awaiting steamers can be cleared away.
 Liberal use of an intelligent em- bargo on all domestic east-bound shipments.
 policy of separating empty from loaded cars in the congested yards, and sending empties back with others, released by unloading, in solid train lOduo tO LdfC l1SAl OA NoJ ONSA SuAA except passenger trains.
 Eastern roads agreed to give, in addition, an empty car to their Vest ern connections for every loaded car received.
 Export traffic to the East will re- main virtually at standstill during the period of adjustment, and east bound domestic traffic will be greatly curtailed.
 The amount of freight for export has increased greatly in Eastern ports because of the great decrease in sail ings since the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany. One road is reported to have every track crowded, and wheat intended for export fills 94 barges.
 Every Eastern grain elevator is said to be overflowing, and, in addition. four million bushels of wheat intended for export is tied up in Minneapolis, where it has been awaiting transpor- tation East for more than two months.
 In New England the shortage of grain is said to be noticeable, while the flour supply in New York, Phila-

Ottowa. Can., Feb. Unofficial an- nouncement was made here tonight that Halifax is to be made the ex- amining port for neutral vessels crossing the Atlantic, eastbound.

food. The letter states that there
is an organized effort to prevent the
smooth working of the plans of the
government, and many people arc
given the impression that the gov
ernment will confiscate half the
goods that are canned by house
wives throughout the country. The
Food Administrator says that this is
entirely false, and if the perpetrators
of these statements are located they
will be dealt with severely. AS far
as can be learned there has been no
effort made in Harrisburg to harass
the government in this respect.
The public safety committee has
also received small posters that are
to be sent out to each individual
housewife in Harrisburg as we'll as
to all the stores. These posters are
very attractive and state six rules
that the housewife is asked to follow
in conserving food. The rules are:
Food, buy it with thought.
Cook it with care.
Serve just enough.
Save what will keep.
Eat what would spoil.
Home grown is best.
The local committee has been COM
plimented by the state officials for
the great amount of work it has
done.

Would Give Wilson
Power in Emergency

Washington, Oct. .. - After a call
at the White House Senator Lewis
said he would propose passage of a
bill giving the President full power
TO do anything during the forthcom-
ing recess of Congress that may be
called for by any sudden emergency
senator Lewis said:
Il told the President that we could
get the war revenue bill passed finally
this week, pass the soldiers insurance
bill next week and adjourn by the end
of the following week. The President
is anxious that the insurance bill pass,
that the families of the soldiers can
have security and the soldiers have
peace of mind.

Congress to pass a law giving the
President full power to do anything
in the recess of Congress that may be
called for by any sudden emergency.

tions or home pricefxing of commodi
ties for war necessity. THIS would
prevent calling Congress before the
regular December meeting and also
give immediate legality to any action.
however unexpected
The President expressed himself as
deeply appreciative of the generous
course of Congress toward him, par
ticularly in its refusal to hamper him
in any way of his executive functions
or of intruding party opposition or
personal politics against necessary
measures. The President is satisfied
with our war situation and our readi-
ness for action. and has full conf
dence in American success every
