Breach Widens in
 Shipping Council
fBy Review Leased Wire. ]

WASHINGTON. July 16.AThe gov ernment's merchant ship building pro gram was halted today when Major General Goethals, manager of the ship ping boards fleet corporation, post poned his plan to requisition all steel merchant ships under construction and to let contracts for building two gov ernmentowned shipyards for producing fabricated steel ships.
 At general Goethals' office it was stated the postponement was due to a request by Chairman Denman of the shipping board for a short delay to give the board time to go over the program. This was denied at the shipping board, although the state ment was made that General Goethals had been asked to supply additional information concerning his plans.
 Issue Near Head.
 Today's development was regarded as bringing to a direct issue the question of who is to have supreme authority in carrying out the building program-Chairman Denman or Gen. eral Goethals. Authority to spend s750.000,000 for acquiring great mer- chant fleet, given to President Wilson, provided in an executive order be- tween the shipping board and its cor poration, the board is being authorized to acquire vessels by purchase and the corporation to take charge of the building.
 Denman "Horns" In.
 In announcing his program last Fri day, General Goethals apparently as- sumed that as manager of the corpora tion he would be given a free hand, but MT. Denman in a statement to. night assumes responsibility for the shipping board. whose members are directors and stockholders of the cor. poration..
 Differences Exist.
 Officials who have watched the situ- ation develop and who have been con- cerned lest differences between Chair man Denman and General Goethals hinder the governments shipbuilding plan at time when every vessel that can be constructed is needed to meet the submarine menace, declared to- night that President Wilson might be aclled on to settle the controversy once for all. While the disagreement between the two men appears to be largely over the number and type of wooden vessels to be built, it is no secret among their friends that their differences go deeper than that

 IN LEAD BELT
 THOUGHT OVER
Cuardsmen in Southeastern Missouri to Prevent Further Disorders - Foreigners Still in Camp-Mines Are Work ing.
(By Review Leased Wire).

-LAT RIVER, Mo, July 16.-Dan- A ger of a renewal of race riot
 ing in the lead belt of southeast
 ern Missouri diminished today as result of the firm attitude of the na- tional guard officers and the action of Sheriff Adams in swearing in 12 depu- ties.
 Part of Mines Ictive
 About half the mines in the Fla. River section resumed operations to- day but worked short handed as a re- suit of the exodus of the foreign-born laborers. In other towns of the leaG belt nearly all .he mmes were run ming. The warning of a mob to the foreign residents of Bonne Terre tha; they must get out of town by 10 o'clock this morning did not produce the ex- pected results. The foreigners did not leave and they armed to defend their homes. They were advised by offers of the St. Joseph Land company. which operates the mines at Bonne Terre, to stay and defend their rights.
 Militia on Scene
 A detachment of guardsmen was sent to Bonne Terre tonight to prevent repetition of the scenes of Sunday night, when a mob invaded the for eign colony.
 The mob leaders of the lead oe.: came to a realization that the guards men here will tolerate no further out breaks. The troops are we'll armed. have plenty of ammunition and have orders to preserve the peace at all costs.
 No Settlement Had
 Nothing in the way of a settlement of the differences between the native miners and the companres as to tho, employment of the foreign labor has been accomplished. It is being made public to the men that the companies will not discuss a settlement until all danger of mob law has disappeared.
 Knowledge of that fact had a sober ing effect on the miners and the ten sion appreciably diminished GurIng Ine day. . s,l
 trouble threatened
 Many rumors of threatened trouble reached Major Stepp, commanding the troops, today, but none of these ma terialized. As a precaution. however. strong guards were thrown about the lead belt. Several important arrests were made. One man was preparing to distribute an infiammatory handbill calling on the American-born popu1a, tion to rid the community of the for eign-born. He was arrested and his literature was seized.
 Three men were locked up as a re suit of information that they had native resident who shel- tered foreigners family in his house night.

Good dFeeIing NOUEristsM
 Bisbee Mines
More Men at Work Than at Any Time Since June 26- No Trouble Has Occurred Despite Rumors Which Have Pervaded Region.

- iSBEE and the Warren dis X trict are more nearly nor ID nal than for nearly three
 weeks. At least the con- munity is comparatively free from the I. w. W. element and, accord ing to all indications, will be kept so by local citizens and officers. At the various mines yesterday many men reported for work and the employment departments re- port more men asking for jobs.
 Good Feeling Exists
 Better feeling among the men in the Warren district mines ex- ists, man to man, than ever in the history of the camp, according to several old time miners of the re- zion.
 There is spirit of fraternity, of companionship, of something in common, between the men now working here" was the way one man expressed it yesterday after noon, after he had completed his shift. "The men are getting into their work and increased efficien- cy appears to be the inevitable re- suit"
 More Men Leaving
 More men continue to leave Bisbee. Against this, however. are numbers who are arriving on ev- cry train and who are having lit tie difficulty in securing employ ment. An encouraging feature of the new arrivals is the fact that all are coming into the Warren district because it is free from I. w. W.'ism and its kindred evils.
 Miners from other camps; men who desire to work and live in peace, most of them being Amer jeans, are making for Bisbee. It Is an open, American mining community.
 No Trouble Reported
 Absolutely no trouble has been reported in the Warren district for several days. Quiet prevails in all quarters. Last night report em- anating from Columous had it that a local man by the name of Sam Vukovich had been killed here. It was said that brother. Spiro Vukovich, now in the Geten- tion camp in the --ew Mexico town, had received a message from Bisbee yesterday afternoon telling him of the affair No one was hurt yesterday or Sunday, much less killed.

 DEATH OF MATE
 DUE TOFOUL PLAY
Coroner's Inquest Decides It Was Accident - Cavalry men Think His Throat Was Cut and Body Placed on Railroad Track.
6Bv Review Leased Wire,

GLOBE, July 16.-That Private Mark Cafado, whose mutilated body was found on the Arizona Eastern tracks early this morning, came to his death as result of a slash across his throat with a knife, was the opinion of the board of officers appointed to- day to examine the circumstances sur. rounding his death.
 Lieut.. c. O. Bailey a surgeon in the medical corps, was one of the doctors who examined Cafado after his body was found. He found tonight that the sentry's throat had been cut py very sharp instrument undoubtedly knife"
 Cafado Was Called
 According to the testimony present. ed to the board of officers a corporal in company with a private who was to relieve Cafado, walked along the track to within 75 feet of where he was stationed and called him several times but received no response. They returned to camp for a searchlight, as it was stormy night and before they returned the train passed.
 The board of officers believed thaI had Cafado been alive before the train passed he would have responded to the calls of the men who were looking for him.
 Excitement Prevails
 Intense excitement prevails through out the district tonight over Caraco5 death and a rigid investigation is be- ing made by both county and military officials. United States secret service agents here are also detailed to the case.
 Cafado was a close friend of another private who recently round it neces- sary to attack Mexican who tried to cross the lines. The theory is that friends of the attacked man thought Cafado was the Mexican's attacker.
