DRY BILL STARTS FREY
 DEBATE
(Rv Review Leased Wire.l

PHOENIX, Jan. 19-A sharp and personal debate was precipitated in the House this morning over a reso- lution introduced by Mrs. ONeill of Maricopa, directing the judiciary com mittee to prepare a bill .embodying the substance of the two prohibition constitutional amendments. The ob- ject of the resolution was to forestall attacks by wholesale liquor dealers on the amendments on the ground that when they were submitted to the people they were not printed on ths ballot as the law directs.
 Walton of Maricopa offered an amendment to the motion directing the judiciary committee to inquire whether such legislation is necessary He said that he did not believe it was essential as in his opinion no success ful attack could be made against the amendments.
 Referring to Baxter. of Maricopa. who had first raised the question in the legislation regarding the invalidi- ty of the amendments. Walton said that he himself had been an advocate of prohibition from the beginning. while Mir. BaXter's services had been enlisted only after there was nothing for him to do. A question of peIs onal privilege stopped this line of debate. The Walton amendment was adopted.
 Bills were introduced in the House as follows:
 By Francis of Cochise. providing for the free assaying of ores D. the state bureau of mines. an Ldjunct of the University.
 By Walton of Maricopa, amending the law for the creation of high school districts. providing that a dis trict may be formed in any school district having a school population of 15O and an assessed valuation of $1.- 800 900: or a district may be formed of two adjoining districts meeting these requirements provided that no district may include territory already in a high school district unless the remaining territory in that district shall have an assessed valuation of s3.OOO, 900.

TAFT RAPS CONGRESS
 FOR LEAK SCANDAL

WASHINGTON, Jan 19.-Congress was criticized by former President Taft in a speech at the National Press Club tonight for wasting its time and the peoples money on such activities as the so-called leak investigations. He predicted that the entire episode would pass away as "a bad smell"
 'T have observed" Mir Taft said, that there are some gentlemen who feel that there is an exigency now in the history of the country that re- quires some means of protecting the reputation of men in high places. have an impression that there were four years some time back in which had feeling on that subject I agree with that view. I agree with the idea that it is too bad to have irresponsi- ble stories and dreams put out as serious, to find their ways into head. lines. affecting the reputation of men who are entirely helpless to defend themselves.

guardsmen. if not all of them, i'm mediately.
 Withdrawal of the Pershing eypedi- ton was one of the recommendations of the American members of the now defunct Mexican-American joint com mission. It has been advocated for a long time by army officers. who have insisted that the troops were doing no good where they were and, what is worse, were in a poor strategic posi- ton in case of an attack.
 No Other Step.
 Apparently there is certainty about when the other step proposed by the commissioners, the despatch of Am bassador-designate Fletcher to his post at Mexico City. will be carried out. This would mean establishing full diplomatic relations with the de facto government, and it may be delayed until better conditions are restored in Mexico and CarranZa's attitude is more satisfactory.

MELTON, Ariz.. Jan. 19. - Lieut.. Colonel Harry G. Bishop and Lieut.. w. A. Robertson, Jr., missing army aviators, exhausted from walking four days in the wilds of Sonora, Mexico, without food or water, were found yester- day more than 200 miles south of the border by a civilian searching party from Wellton.

Robertson was brought here by the searchers, but Colonel Bishop. too weak to walk. was left in charge of four Searchers from Ajo in the Rosa Rio mountains. where he was found last night at 10 o'clock. Two sandwiches and two oranges each was all the food the men had tasted since they left the North Island aviation base at San Diego January 10 on their flight, Robertson told the searchers.
 Water was obtained from the radiator of the aeroplane after they landed on the east coast of the Gulf of California four days ago. They had tasted none since, Lieut.. Robertson told tho search CTS.

RATE CASE HEARING
 AT DENVER WIDENS
'By Review Leased wirel

DENVER. Jan. 19.-The hearing on western freight rates before MyrOn Patterson, representative of the inter state commerce commission. assumed a broader character today when numerous interveners indicated a de sire for rate reduction along the line sought by the Colorado Fiar Rates Association and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission in their action against 34 common carriers.
 Primarily. it was developed at to- days hearing. interveners filed ap- peals to either oppose or support the complains. The actions yesterday of Utah. Wyoming and New Mexico ship pers in adding testimony in general support of the complainants was fol- lowed today by siminlar action by representatives of traffic interests in Nebraska. Kansas and Missouri River points. These interyeners seek reduc- tions differing in detail but in general seeking reductions. principally in AL lantic seaboard rates.
 The effort of proposed reductions. it was set forth. would seriously in- terfere with the operation of the Pueblo Steel Plant. The company's payroll in Colorado was s12.OO0.000 annually. and fourteen thousand men were employed while last year over $t.25O,00O was expended by the com pany with Colorado dealers IL was pointed out that the concern was one of Colorado's biggest industries and expressed doubt that the reductions sought would benefit Colorado as q whole Reductions. based upon the needs and demands of the entire ter rir5ry west of the Missouri River

 As the days passed and no trace of the missing men was found the searchers grew more and more pessimistic regarding the fate of the two officers. and last night, after hours of fruitless work, civ ilian parties using La Bolsa.

FL PASO, Jan. 19.-Predictions that the American punitive expedition will begin its long trek across the deserts of northwestern Chihuahua toward Columbus, N. M., within the next 72 hours were made here today by army officials who are closely in touch with the movements of the expeditionary force.
 lt was unofficially reported here
 today by army officers that actual
 withdrawal operations were under
 way at Fl Valle, the southern out
 post of the punitive expedition and
 at San Joaquin between FL Valle
 and the field headquarters at Col
 onia Dublan.
 All supplies billed to Americans in the Casas Grandes-C Colonia Dublan dis trict and sent to JuareZ for transporta- ton over the Mexico Northwestern Railway have been ordered held at Juarez and no further shipments of supplies will be made over this road for the punitive expedition. Arrange ments were also being made in Juarez today for sending all available freight cars to Casas Grandes to bring out the stocks of goods and surplus supplies from the stofes of the American Nor mons and others who have been sup plying the American troops in Mex ico.
 Tents Ready at Columbus.
 The despatching of four empty mo- tor truck trains of thirty trucks each from Columbus during the past 24 hours was taken here to mean early withdrawal The pitching of a number of large tents at Columbus for hous- ing equipment, ordnance. merchandise and other army stores was also con- sihered as indication of the early with drawal of the expeditionary column at the field base. General Pershing's troops will be disposed alongsthe bor der with headquarters at Fl Paso and San Antonio, according to reports here and in Columbus today.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-For- nal announcement of orders for withdrawal of the American ex- petition in Mexico was still lack ing tonight, though there was no disposition in official quarters to doubt the dispatches from the bor- der indicating that the withdraw al of Pershing's men northward already was under way. President
 Wilson has approved the plan to bring the troops out and there have been plain intimation that action would precede any further statement on that subject.
 Move 10000 Men.
 All details of the withdrawal are understood to have been left to Gen eral Pershing, and General Funston al ready has worked out his plans for distributing the ten or twelve thou sand men in the expedition at strategic points along the border.
