RANCHER OF PEORIA SHOOTS EMPLOYE;
 VICTIM MAY DIE

Following an altercation between A. l.. Chism. a rancher of Peoria, 50 years of age. and Antonio Comacho yester- day, Chism shot and probably fatally wounded the Mexican.
 The argument, it is reported, began when Chism attempted to tell the Mex ican, an employe of his, where to pitch his tent, on a ranch about four miles north of Peoria. As the latter protested the rancher threatened him with the butt of a 32-calibre rifle, who immed- lately grappled with Chism. During the struggle for possession of the weapon it was accidentally discharged claims the rancher, inflicting a serious wound in the squatter's breast.
 Ranchers called to the scene by the shot, immediately called Dr. Van Nor rell, who expressing doubts as to til brought to this city, ordered him sent to the Sisters hospital here, where he was immediately placed on the op- erating tables. Surgeons last night held out little hope for his recovery.
 On his arrival here last night, Dr. Morrell stated that Chism was on his way to Phoenix to give himself up to the authorities, but he failed to do so and was apprehended at a late hour at the Annex hotel.
 When questioned at the sheriff's of- flee. Chism appeared cheerful and con- fldent, apparently expecting no trouble in obtaining his freedom. He will make his fight on plea of self defense, it is thought

pected to follow closely upon the ad- journment of the Russian congress Of soviets called to meet today at Mos cow Official Washington and diplo- mats here still retain a faint hope that the warning factions of Russia may yet reject the German peace terms signed at Brest-Litovsk, but almost all infor nation that has reached here indicates that the fighting spirit of the disorgan ized people is too wounded to resist.
 The state department tonight still was without official knowledge that the presidents message of sympathy and promise of aid addressed to the Russian people through the congress had reached Moscow but that it had been received was taken for granted. Word that the soviets actually had convened also was lacking.
 Some little encouragementW was found in the altered attitude of Trotzky, for mer Bolshevik foreign minister, as re- ported by Ambassador Francis. The ambassador said Trotzky had been quoted as saying he favored putting the army under iron discipline" and continuing the fight against Germany. His change of mind, however, is be- lieved here to have come too late.
 Failure of the soviets to endeavor to muster the strength of Russia against Germany probably will bring to an im- mediate conclusion the negotiations concerning Japanese intervention.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY

One million tons of Dutch shipping, which will be used in sending supplies to the armies of the allies or in trans porting troops to the war zones, Will be taken over by the United States and Great Britain next Monday, thus re- lieying in great measure a dire need of countries at war with the Teutonic allies.
 Hollands hesitancy to come into the agreement with the United States and Great Britain which would permit of the use of ships flying her flag, many of which now are lying in American and allied ports. no longer is to be tol- erated. and next Monday, whether she be willing or not, the vessels will be taken over under the provisions of in ternational law and put into uses which are highly essential to the suc- cess of the allied cause.
 Dutch Must Acquiesce
 Holland vet has time to acquiesce in the demands of the United States and Great Britain and sanction the use of her shipping, but her plea of Germany s menace no longer will avail, and there is to be no modification in the decision of the United States and the allies to seize all Dutch vessels in their respect i've ports throughout the world and use them Liberal compensation is to be awarded owners of the vessels and all their Tights will be safeguarded. In addition the export of foodstuffs to Holland will be permitted and coal by which Holland may resume her inter- rupted trade with her colonies will be guaranteed.
 American Airmen Active
 On the major battle fronts the oper- ations continue, as for weeks past mainly of artillery duels, trench raids and intensive aerial activity by all the opposing forces. In the operations or land the American troops continue. tC locate and blow to pieces with their ar tillery, gas projectors in the Foul re- zion which the Germans recently have been attempting to set up in large numbers in preparation, it is believed for a gas attack on a huge scale.

 Engineers for the company building the boat said that reinforced concrete had, contrary to popular impression. notable flexibility under stfain and would, therefore, be able to stand the stresses incident to sea duty.

 The administration records it's rec ognition of the principle that pro- ducers of necessary food should have fair and reasonable profit in ad- dition to cost of production and sug- gests that for guidance of the gov ernment an independent tribunal should determine the cost of produc- ing meat
 The corn belt representatives have been here for several days comforting with officials. They complained par ticularly that the food administra- tion's meat division was in the hands of men unfamiliar with the produc- ] ing end of the business.

LORDSBURG, N. M.. March 14.- Hundreds of Mexicans are homeless to- night and the Southern Pacific railroad has neither roundhouse, locomotives or supply yards at this division point fol- lowing the fuel oil fire today which swept through the yards and burned a wide path through the Mexican set tlement in the northern part of LoIds burg. The railroad company estimated it's loss at $1,000,000 including six new locomotives, many freight cars. the roundhouse and storehouses which were destroyed.
 The fire started when waste oil at the oil filling station became ignited. The fire spread to a locomotive which was standing on the filling track and spread to tank cars containing 100, 900 gallons of fuel oil. The burning oil flowed into the roundhouse, destroying the locomotives, through the yards where freight cars were consumed and through the Mexican settlement which was destroyed.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March H. The accidental death of Cadet Flyer Howard W. Holaday, "A years old, of Denver, Colo, whose body was found today fifteen miles east of San An tonio, was the fourth flying fatality at training fields here in six days and was the second to occur on the thirteenth of the month. Holaday returning from a cross country flight last night, fell approximately 4,000 feet, according to instruments in his ma chine. The planes engine apparently stopped and Holaday fell into tail spin.
 Holaday's body probably will be sent to Denver, it was said tonight. He was a graduate of the University of Idaho, where brother, Charles A. Holaday, is professor of chemistry.
