JEROME, Feb. 14.-Scores of strik- CTS left here today headed for Bisbee Globe and other southern Arizona cop per centers, according to a statement gwen to the Associated Press by Je- rome officials.
 The officers said they had forwarded to southern Arizona copper centers warnings that I. W. w. organizers were on their way south, following the trouble here over a 75-cent wage cut on Monday. which resulted yesterday in the mines closing down for a period, the managers said. of from three to eight months.
 Only one instance of disorder was reported today, that in which a soldier is said to have had to use force on a Mexican who refused ths order to move on" Men from the 3rd United State infantry are still patrolling the town and guarding the mine entrances.
 All the alleged strike leaders held in the jail were photographed today at the request of a department of justice agent.
 James Chapman, said by the police to have led in the original strike agi- tation last Monday, has not been seen since Monday night. and today strikers took up a collection for the support of his family

RADIO CONTROLLED TORPEDO INVENTION
 APPROVED BY ARMY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Army and navy experts have reported the device of John Hays Hammond, Jr. for radio control of surface craft to be sent laden with explosives against enemy ships, a success and predict similar results with submerged craft showing above water only wire antennae
 Results of tests were made public to- day in connection with the fertilization appropriation bill which carries s411.- 900 for construction of an experimental submerged boat.
 Secretary Baker wrote the house ap- propriation committee which is con- sidering the bill that the joint army and navy board was convinced of the practicability of the control of the surface craft, and added that there had also been demonstrations of the possibility of the control of a craft complettly submerged except for an air take pipe.
 Before finally deciding on the pur- chase of the patents for $750,0O0 the board desires further experiment with the submerged craft and a change in law for the building of the submarine for the proposed apartments.
 Construction of the submerged craft, which will be about eighty feet long by seven feet in diameter, will take two years, according to Mir. Hammond who told the committee he had
 ten years and s400,0OO on his inven- ton.
 There is no question as to the abil- ity to control with great accuracy the torpedo or carrier. whatever kind it is" said a letter of Major General F. W. Coe, a member of the board, "so long as it is a surface vessel or has any antennae above the water, by df- rect radio waves either from shore or from aeroplanes.'
 With d shore station, having a height of eighty feet above sea level radio control of the craft has been demonstrated to the board up to a distance of about seven miles. but General Coe said that if controlled from an aeroplane, there was no limit as to distance, except the propelline power of the torpedo or the boat that carried it or the aeroplane.
 "A surface launch with the apparatus | on it." said General Coe, "was con. an aeroplane. the means of control ir each case being the same" ] The board also witnessed the drop ping of dummy depth charges iron | the stern of the boat while it was pro ceeding on any desired course. General Coe said he had run tn, 1 craft "all around vessels coming into the harbor at will, and at close range. l there would be no difficulty in ram
 ming a vessel from shore.

STORM BROKEN RAIL
 AND WIRE SERVICE
 Is PARTLY RESTORED
Wire Service Is Partly Re stunned Already Trains
 May Get Through Snow
 Today - Many Delayed

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 14.-Denver tonight was still partially isolated from the outside world because of the bliz- gar dof Wednesday night and Thurs day in Kansas and Nebraska. No trains have come through from the east for more than A hours, but some of the railroads announced that tracks were being cleared and trains due here Thursday night might be brought to Denver some time tomorrow. There was a slight improvement in wire condi- tions, but telegraph and telephone linemen still were unable to reach the storm center because of the cessation of train service.
 The Union Pacific has two trains stalled in the snow near Russell, Kan, and it's Omaha line also is blockaded. A Burlington train due here Thursday is at Republican City, Kan. The Santa Fe has cleared it's line. but trains are from three to eight hours late because of difficulty with drifting snow at Newton. Kan. The Rock Island also is several hours behind schedules.
 Of the wires services, the Western Union Telegraph company appears to be gradually resuming normal condi- tions Tonight it was said that com pany had opened eight wires to Chi cago, four to Omaha and three to St. Louis The damage was not so great as anticipated, the principal difficulty now being that approximately half a mile of poles was down in Kansas. and these may be repaired before morning.
 The Postal Telegraph had only one direct wire tothe east, this through
 Platte City, Neb., where operators had been sent from this city and Omaha. Postal officials were pessimistic re- garding prospects for returning to nor nal conditions. their repair men being
 unable to reach the affected districts. Conditions of the Mountain States Telegraph and Telephone company's
 wires were little better tonight than yesterday. Prospects were good. 1t was said. for restoring service with Omaha tonight. No other point in the storm area is available to their wires. Cessation Of the blizzard is reported and wire conditions can be repaired as soon as train service is resumed. ac- cording to wire chiefs of the three companies.
 ! Early tonight the Associated Press
 wire connection was restored by way | of Dallas, Texas. All yesterday and today the Associated Press dispatches | for papers in the mountain states had | been routed by way of Canada and | San Francisco.
 Later in the night the Associated ! Press re-established connection with ' Chicago over the regular route.

NEBRASKA SENATOR ENDORSES COVENANT
 IF NATION LEAGUE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.--Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, in formal statement tonight said the proposed constitution of the league of nations Impressed him very favor ably"
 He declared that it was mot the monster that those who have attacked the plan predicted" nor was it 'the helpless sewing circle that one sneer- ing critic predicted it might be-"
 Aside from Senator Hitchcock, sen- ators declined to make formal com ment on the league constitution until they had had more time in which to study it, and most of them were most guarded in their observations in cloak room and office discussion. The plan was read with the greatest interest, however, and there was evidence that there would be free discussion in the senate beginning within a day or two.
 Senator Hitchcock said control of the executive council to which would be entrusted the real power of the league would always be in the hands of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. This element of per- nancy and strength in. the executive council he said lis a highly important feature"
 Tn some respects" said the senator. the covenants. which nations made when they join the league. resemble existing arbitration or peace treaties They agree never to go to war with out submitting differences to arbitra tion. the arbitrators to be agreed upon or to dh examination by the executive council and not even then for three months after the decision. This pledge guarantees against a sudden war and assures a cooling off time.
 Another important covenant is the ' agreement to make reductions of na. tional armaments 10 the lowest possi- ble point consstent with national safety ns the executive council shall ! determine and recommend.

Bill Reduces
 Soldiers Pay
 to Old Basis

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Pay of the enlisted men in the army would be reduced to S15 a month after July 1 as a result of the elimination in the house today on a point of order of the provision in the annual army appropriation bill continuing the present salary of $30 a month.
 The point of order was made by Representative Stafford of Wis., consin, republican, and who insist ed that this was new legislation, and as such could not be incorpor- ated in an appropriation bill.
 The house several days ago de- feated an amendment to the naval bill providing for increases of from $5 to $15 a month in the pay of enlisted men of the navy.
