CUSTOMS GUARDS
Colonel Morgan Reports Amer

Feet Inside Border When
MexicanS Attacked.
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE,

Douglas, AriZ., Jan General p.
Elias Gales, military commander and
governor of Sonora, is due to arrive
In Aqua Prieta tomorrow morning to
investigate the killing of two Mexi-
can customs men, the wounding of
one and the capture of three by Amer
lean Cavalrymen at San Bernardino,
eighteen miles east of here, last Fri
day according to Augustin Camou,
commander of the Aqua Prieta garri-
son.
Col George II. Morgan, commander
of the Arizona district; Ives G. Lele-
vier, Mexican consul here, and Colo
mel Camou, accompanied by the two
Mexican customs men who escaped
during the fight and the two Ameri-
can officers who were rescued by the
cavalrymen, made a joint investiga-
ton of the affair Sunday. The inves-
tigation, Colonel Morgan said tonight,
had strengthened evidence he already
had that the officers were seized on
United States territory.
No statement could be procured
from Mexican sources tonight other
than their claim that the capture took
place a few feet south of the interna-
tional boundary. Colonel Morgan to-
night mailed a detailed report of the
affair to departmental Headquarters
at San Antonio, together with two
maps of the scene showing where the
men were when taken by the Mexi-
cans, which was approximately 200
feet north of the border. 1t was
learned tonight that Mr.. Lelevier had
sent a report to Mexico City that the
seizure took place south of the line
and that he had sent to Ignacio Bo-
nillas, Mexican ambassador to Wash
ington, vigorous protest against what
he termed "a flagrant violation of
Mexican territory and the cold murder
by American soldiers of two Mexican
customs men in the discharge of their
dutiesn

NEW TRAFFIC CHIEF
ALREADY FAMILIAR
WITH PROBLEMS
ESPECIAL o,spArcH TO MORNING JouRNALl

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first job
faced by the government in taking
over the railroads is the mechanical
one of untangling traffic. For this
undertaking Director General McAdoo
has chosen as traffic director Charles
c. McChord of the Interstate Com
merce commission.
McChord has been a specialist on
freight congestion for several years.
He has particularly specialized on coal
freight congestion. OF late he has
had force Of inspectors at work fol-
lowing cars from mine to consumer
and surveying general conditions of
freight movement.
1t was McChord who, a year ago,
Strengthened out the freight conges-
tion and coal shortage after series
of hearings at Cincinnati.
McChord is the car expert of the
Interstate Commerce commission. He
knows how many cars there are in the
country; how many of them are in
condition so they can be used; what
roads are well supplied; where the in
i'tluotc uiC ioNotCd, anu
where the adequate terminals can be
reached, and where the locomtives
can be found.
Next to the coal jam the congestion
of munitions materials will receive at
tention. War work must be expe-
dited. For weeks the ordnance de-
partment of the war organization has
been almost made over the railway
situation.
kilograms have been pouring front
ordnance officers to railroad officials
demanding information as to the To-
cation of certain loaded cars con-
tanning munitions for export or ma
terial for manufacture
The first big movement of congest-
ed freight under the direction of Nc
Chord will be to the less used ATTAIN
tic ports. Trains will be re-routed
to Philadelphia. Baltimore, Charles
ton, Newport News, and Savannah,
and ships will be transferred to these
points for cargoes.

gestions that conscription of labor is
necessary.

One early result is expected to be
the placing of 100000 mechanics in
ship building plants to aid in hurry

Sustains Draft LaW
by Unanimous Vote

Washington, Jan. THE selective
service act was today held as consti-
tutional by the supreme court.
The governments contention that
the power given congress to declare
war includes power to compel citizens
to render military service, both at
home and abroad, were sustained by
the court.
Chief Justice White, who delivered
the unanimous opinion, in a brief
statement declared that after consid-
ering various contentious the conclu-
sion had been reached that most of
them We're imaginary rather than
real.
AS the mind cannot conceive an
army without the men to compose it"
said the chief justice ION the face of
the constitution the objection that it
does not give power to provide for
such men would seem to be too frivo-
lous for further notice.
The opinion thus proceeded to take
up and definitely dispose of each of
the many question raised by the coun-
sci for the convicted persons whose
appeals brought the law before the
court.
No action was taken by the court
in the several pending cases involv-
ing charges of conspiracy to prevent
the carrying out of the purposes of
the law 1t is understood that these
cases, which include the appeals of
Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman,
Louis Kramer and Morris Becker, con-
victed New York, later may be
