HOSTILE ARTILLERY
 FIRE |S INCREASED
Republican 4. p. Leased Wirel

ROME, May 5.-An increase in the intensity of the hostile artillery fire along the front, notably in the Lagar- ma and Astico valleys and in the Foss- Alta sector. is reported by the war of- flee today. The Italian artillery also has carried out numerous lombard ments and there has been additional intensive activity by the Capronis and British airplanes, during which eight enemy machines were destroyed and many tons of bombs dropped on the hydro electric works at Cavedin, north of Mori. While this operation was in pI ogress, other machines renewed the bombing of the aviation ground a, Campo Maggiore. south Of Lenico.
 Last night Italian airships, reaching by surprise the railroad stations at Primalano and Bolzano. dropped their bombs with good effect. At the same :ime an airship of the Royal navy en- gagged enemy columns on the march beyond the Tagliamento.
 Flight enemy machines were re- ported destroyed, two of which fell in flames, within our lines" the report says.

Republican q. p. Leased Wire1

MOSCOW, Saturday. May 4.-Nich- olas Romanoff, the former emperor, together with the former empress and one of their daughters have been transferred from Tobolsk to Ekatrin- burg, Q70 miles southeast of Perm on the Asiatic side of the Ural mountains), according to a soviet an- nouncement. The. transfer was or dered because of the alleged efforts of peasants and monarchists in the neighborhood of Tobolsk to promote the escape of the prisoners.
 The announcement does not men, tion the former heir apparent the young Alexis Romanoff.
 From Scandinavian sources there came reports late last month of seri- ous rioting in Petrograd and that the young Alexis had been proclaimed emperor with Grand Duke Michael AlexandrOvitch as regent. Other ad- vices from Russia have contained nothing to confirm these reports, and it was announced the British house of commons that the foreign office was without official confirmation of counter revolutionary movement in Petrograd.
 The reports were ascribed in some quarters to German inspiration, and in fact, on May , they were revived in Vienna. Meanwhile, the German foreign office had manifested keen interest in the rumors and instructed the German representatives in Rus sia to make inquiries regarding them.
 The whereabouts of the former heir to the throne was not indicated in any of the reports.
 The former emperor and his family have been. prisoners at Tobolsk II western Siberia since last August

FL PASO, May 5.-Thousands of cattle were saved by a rain which fell in the Panhandle Southwestern Stock mems association headquarters stated.
 At Roswell light showers were fol- lowed by heavy rain last night which continued until the range was thor Uughly soaked.
 Reports from Lincoln county, New Mexico, told of a downpour which ap- preached cloudburst last night and an unusually heavy rain was reported from Chavez county, New Mexico
 In Roswell tho rainfall totalled an inch and was even heavier south and cast If that city. While the rain was not general throughout the Panhandle, cattlemen said it would be the cause of saving large nerds of cattle as the iSr. showers moisteped the ground so that the downpodr that followed could soak in. There wore indications to- night of more rain in the Chavez county district.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON A FRENCH BATTLE FRONT, Satur- day, May 4.-WhGt Irohably is d new German jiquifie6 gas was projected this morning against Picardy front where American troops are fighting The gas, in its fluid form, is contained in glass bottles. On bursting they give eff some substance from whicll heavy, white fumes, transparent in texture, continue to arise for five minutes.
 No Gcntonaticn was heard as the bottles were hurled through the air and apparently they were thrown by d spring. The gas caused nausea, sneez- ing ard coughing but did not harm any Of the Americans.
 There has been lively artillery fire. but the Americans here have not been attacked by the infantry.
 Last night an eremy sergeant ma jCr and elght men attempted to raid one If our fcrward points, consisting of three men. The Germans captured one of our men but he escaped before he could bc taken into the enemy's lines. IF attmpting to recover their prisoner the Grmaps strayed into the American lines. They were attacked and the patrol leader was wounded and cap- tured. He belonged to a reserve Saxon regiment.
 One of the American patrols en- countered a superior enemy force of 21 men. Fighting as they went, they made their way back to the American lines without losses.
 Two German airplanes were brough; down today.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, May 5-(Via Ottawa - Franco British forces in the course of successful operation between Locrc and Drancourt, advanced their posi- tions on a thousand yard front to m average depth of 300 yards. The British took 4S prisoners and the French g. The enemy was driven from two or three ruined farms and the allies took some high ground near koutkot. The French, continuing their operation, carried some strongly held buildings in the neighboring sec- tor. All the enemy counter efforts were broken up with considerable loss.
 The local successes are of distinct value, strengthening the allied de- lenses of the approach to Scherpen- berg and Mont Rogue.
 Some Reorganization is indicated among the enemy troops who arc hindered by heavy rains
 There is little doubt but that the new German tanks are proving a dis appointment, developing various de- fleets in actual service. Their pon- derous weight makes maneuvering over bad ground difficult. Generally they are much inferior to those of the British.

 CONGRESS TASK
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Congress begins this week with interest cen tered upon the army increase program, which furnishes probably the last real ly big task to be disposed of before ad- journment, planned for about July l.
 A re-draft of the record breaking army appropriation bill. carrying Sl5,- 900 900 600 to provide for an army of S,O0O,00 men during the coming year, is to be laid before the house military committee tomorrow. Some opposi- ton is expected in both senate and house to the administration to limit the nations armed forces only to cap- acity for equipping, training and trans porting them, but leaders of both par ties now believe the blanket power will be granted.
 The senate has a long list of appro- priation bills and miscellaneous mat ters to act upon. The postoffice budget. involving the question of sec ond class postage increases, effective July l. is to have the right of way immediately. It will pc followed by the conferees' report on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and by the rivers and harbors budget and the naval bill.
 Among measures upon which final action is expected during the week are the sedition bill conference report, which the senate adopted yesterday and which awaits approval by the house; the draft extension bills, the $60,000,000 housing bill, the Indian ap- propriation bill and, the measure amending the naturalization laws to provide immediate citizenship for aliens fighting under the Stars and Stripes.
 The Overman bill, giving the presi- dent blanket authority to re-organize federal agencies during the war, which the senate passed last week, will be considered Tuesday by the house jud- iciary committee and its early passage in the house is expected.

Mir. Williams, his wife and two daughters, Dorothy, aged Is, and Maurine, aged 6, were instantly killed. The son, Paul. was the only one to be found alive when the Casa Grande people rushed to the scene. He was taken to the town and as soon as q train could be secured he was removed to Tucson where at a late hour last night it was reported that there was a chance for his recovery, although slight.
 Track Is Down Grade
 Although it is the general opinion that the engine of the motor car in which the Williams family was riding must have been stalled on the crossing, yet there were no witnesses to state accurately as to the cause. The track of the Southern Pacific as it approach es Casa Grande from the east is down grade and trains coast into the station, making little noise, and other opinions are that MT. Williams, who was driv- ing, did not see the approaching train in time.
 The inquest by the coroner was not held last night and will not be com pleted until today.
 Son Awaited Arrival
 The only remaining member of the family not in the fatal car was Bently Williams, who was in Casa Grande at the time awaiting the arrival of his father and the family. A brother-in- law, w. F. Boggs, who resides at Al North Seventeenth avenue in this city, will leave for Casa Grapde this morn ing.
 The bodies were thrown clear of the track when the locomotive struck the car and were not badly mutilated. A watch in the pocket of Mir. Williams had stopped at SPA o'clock. The pas senger train after the accident backed to the scene and this gave the alarm to the people of Casa Grande.
 Williams We'll Known
 John S. Williams. who had resided in Arizona for 15 years, was one of the best-known men in the state and one of the best liked. He came to the ter ritory from Cleveland, Ohio, and set tied at Bisbee where he engaged in the practice of law
 ] He was elected district attorney of 1 Cochise county in 1906 and served in that office until the admission of the territory to statehood. He received the republican nomination for representa- tive in congress and was a candidate against the Hon. Carl Hayden at the first state election.
 Since that time he has been enga ged | in d successful practice of the law Early in the development of the Casa Grande valley MT. Williams became | interested in it and acquired a ranch near by, taking also a temporary resi- dence in the town. He was about 47 years of age.
 MT. Williams was in partnership with Ed Flannigan in practice of law at Bisbee and had been engaged in many of the most important cases in the history of Arizona. MT. F1annigan left Bisbee immediately after the accident for Casa Grande.
