parties should be apprehended and
punished. His remarks were hear
tily endorsed and the resolution was
unanimously passed
During the consideration of the
matter Mayor Hill explained the cir
cumstances. He said that he heard
the shots land lady, a neighbor,
came over and told him that she
saw parties in the machine fire at
the house. The mayor said that he
could not help connecting the mater
with the coward1y circular which
had been sent over town attacking
him and his administration.
On account of reference in this
circular to the disposition of cases
he showed the aldermen through a
docket of cases which he had kept
and explained one, the Hayden Drake
| case, which he said might have
caused some comment This case
said he had not been disposed of
because the main witness D. T. Bar
foot had left town and forfeited a
bond of $25. This case could be
reopened at any time
He said that he had not remitted
any fines, and challenged any one
to show him where anything thai
was not entirely regular had beer

BIC LOT MUNITIONS
SHIPPED TO MEXICO
Between One and Two Million
Rounds Sent Over Last Two
Months; Export Has War De-
partments Sanction.

Washington, March 13-Between one
and two million rounds of ammuni-
tion have been shipped into Mexico in
the last two months from the United
States, 1t was learned here today. This
has been with the approval of the war
department, 1t was stated.
These shipments are part Of an orr
der which has been standing with
American munition makers for some
two years. it was explained. Ship
ments are crossing the border from
time to time with the approval Of
American authorities to meet Car
ranza's request for ammunition.
Only two courses are open to the
United States in this matter. authort-
ties explain. One is to allow various
Mexican factions to fight among them
selves with sticks as one official ex-
pressed and the other Is for the
United States to permit ammunition
to get through to the existing author
tiles. The latter course is being fol-
lowed, especially since 1t is impcssibie
for Mexico to receive ammunition from
other sources. Carranza has called an
extra session of the Mexican congress

Equipment Builders Hold Huge
Contracts Which Must Be Re-
vised or Cancelled; Many OBJ
stacIes Looming Ahead.
500, 100000 PAcTS FOR
CARS MUST BE SETTLED
These Orders Subject Of Con-
slant Annoyance With Some
Roads Refusing to Accept or
Pay for Allotment.

Washington, March ia score Of
locomotive, car and accessory manufac-
turers are here today comforting with
Director General Hines on plans for
financing equipment already COM
pleted or contracted for.
Hines expects to straighten out ex-
listing difficulties with these COM
panies as his first move. This must
be done before definite decision can
be reached on a scheme to obtain
funds for running the roads. The
equipment builders here today hold
contracts. including unpaid bills, total
ling approximately $30O,O00,00O.
Some of these contracts undoubtedly
will be cancelled according to Off
cials. Others will be revived. These
contracts, it was explained, were
made under war conditions and for
war purposes. Peace time needs will
be the basis for new calculations.
CONSTANT FRICTION.
The car builders hold contracts for
$100,000,000 worth of freight and pas
senger cars. They were ordered last
summer by John Shelton Williams
who is retiring as director of pur-
chases. Only $4,000 of these have beer
delivered.
The car orders have been a subject
of constant differences. Some rail-
roads have refused to accept or pay
| for cars allotted them. They held to
the argument tnat IT wes aexpenditurs
of their capital funds which could wei
have been dispensed with. The rail
| road administrators stand was thai
| in it's capacity of supervising traffic
it was authorized to purchase al
| equipment needed.
The car builders, in turn say they
| have hesitated over what course to
| pursue. Some of them have gone OF
the assumption that the railroad ad
| ministration was a sufficient guaran
tee. They, therefore, bought full
quantities OF material for their con
tracts. A few instances were report
ed, however, where the car builders
purchased material only in sufficien
quantities to fill urgent orders.
The manufacturers also will be con
suited by Hines relative to their atti
tudes toward the proposed warran
system of payments. They were un
derstood to approve the plan since tn
warrants will provide new collatera
and therefore new credit for them.

Wholesale Figures Reveal Astonishing
Tumble, Some Species Falling

New York. March 13.--Extra! J.
Beans make big drop.
One good old food staple is on
the toboggan.
The humble bean promises to

While most other foods have

which war conditions boosted them
or have settled back only slightly,
practically all kinds of beans are
astonishingly cheaper than they
were last year.
Here are some of the figures
given out by the bureau of mar

Since March. of last year, whole
sale prices of New York pea beans
have tumbled 1925 to $6.75 hun
dred pounds; Michigan beans fell
off $3.50 to $6.25: California
whites dropped s6.25; white Cali
fornia limas declined $3.50 to $3.50
and Colorado pintos from $2.75 to

All of which, economists say,
ought to mean a big drop in beans
