IDAHO SENATOR
 TALKS ECONOMY

WASHINGTON, Jan 30.-The new bill to create separate department of the air encountered further vigor- our opposition in the senate today, Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, leading the attack against the meas ure on the ground of extravagance Urging its passage, Chairman Wads- worth of the military committee as- serted that the next great war in volving this country would be usher ed in with an air battle off the coast and warned the senate to prepare against that day.
 Opposition to the bill, so far as it would separate the army air service from it's status as an integral part of the army, also was expressed in a letter from Gen. Persbing. made pub lie during the day by Representative Fisher, Democrat, Tennessee.
 In his attack on the bill, Senator Borah took occasion to warn his Re publican colleagues that the party's special promise" of economy at the last election was not being carried out in congress. He also referred to the committee on platform and poli- cies appointed recently by Chairman Hays of the Republican national committee as Ca committee of 157 varieties" adding that ''the gifted gentlemen" who composed it cannot convince the people against the rec ord being made here"

ASK FUR FIFTY
 MILLIONS FOR
 RELIEF LOANS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Additional credits of $5O,OOO,OO0 for food relief in certain European countries, to be named later, was decided on today by the Republican majority members of the house ways and means committee at an informal conference. Senator Glass, supported by President Wilson, recently asked for $150,000 ,000.
 After the informal agreement had been reached, Chairman Fordney called a meeting for tomorrow of he full committee to consider final ac- tion. Leading Democratic committee men, including Representatives Kitchin, North Carolina, and Garner, Texas, who were among the first to suggest the $150, 100000 as a maxi mum authorization, are counted on by the Republican members to support the 5O.OO0,0 ,000, which also has ap- proval of some members Of the Re publican legislative steering commit tee.
 The agreement among the Repub- lican committeeman came after an earlier conference with the steering committee, at which varied opinions on the treasury proposal of larger loan authorization was expressed, in- cluding opposition to any new loans. Some of the Republicans favored a larger sum than s50.000,00o. but the majority opinion seemed to support that amount.
 While no agreement was attempted at either of the conferences to de- termine whether the legislation shall specify the countries to get the loans, some effort in this direction may be made at the ways and means com mittee meeting tomorrow. Proponents of the $50, ,000 900 fund suggested that amount primarily to relieve starva- tion in Austria, to supplement private charity to the Armenians and alleviate distress in Budapest

CAR SHORTAGE
 DELAYS TRADE
Weather and Influenza Are Cause of Slowing Down
 Of Industries

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Car shortages, wintry weather and the prevailing influenza epidemic have been responsible for a slowing down in some lines of industry, notably coal mining and iron and steel manufac- ture. a slight shading in retail buying and slightly more tardy collections, but against these are to be seen a much more confident tone in buying from jobbers and wholesalers and a practical disappearance of uncertainty noted last week in primary lines, espe- cially textiles, which have sold better both at the east and west under the spur of active buying alike for spring and fall. Of the unfavOrable ele- ments noted the car and, in some sec tions, the power shortage, shown on most railroads, is apparently the most serious. Shortages of fuel have be- come acute at large iron and steel centers, and the short or irregular supply of coal and coke constitutes a drag alike on production and ship ment, because lack of usual car sup ply also prevents shipment of iron and steel mill manufactured products, which are reported piling up.
 Weekly bank clearings were $S,034, 012,000.

MARTENS TELLS OF SHOOTING OF COURIERS CARRYING FUNDS
 FROM SOVIET GOVERNMENT TO
 UNITED STATES FOR ENVOY"
Lenines Representative Says Wilson Receives Americans Friendly the Bolshvik in Consultations Propriety Of Recognizing Red Regime; Admits Receipt
 Of $15O,00O and Refuses Details

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-How the couriers of Soviet Russia, carrying funds to finance it's propaganda in America, ran the gauntlet of death and imprisonment in the surrounding states of Europe, was story half told, then abandoned, today by Ludwig c. A. K. Martens, Soviet agent in the United States, before the senate foreign relations committee inYesti- gating Russian propaganda.
 Refuses 10 Answer
 Martens flatly declined to answer further questions put him by the com mittee on the subject of the couriers, and left it to consider whether or not his plea of diplomatic immunity" from further examination should be allowed. while he went on to recount his personal activities in endeavoring to get his government recognized by the state department in placing pro- visional contracts for S25,000,000 worth of food, clothing and machin- cry with American business houses This latter effort, he said. had result ed in placing two or three letters be- fore President Wilson urging recogni- tion though the department has re- mained firm in it's refusal to recog- uize him in any way.
 Many Shot and Jailed
 Out of 20 of the mysterious messen- gers who started during the last year from Moscow with funds and letters to him, Martens said, seven had got ten through the barriers of armies and international frontiers. Several had been shot summarily in Finland. Three that I know about" Martens said casually, of ten who tried to get through Germany, nine were caught and jailed. The first man to reach him, however, carried $30,000 and his credentials as Soviet ambassador to the United States. The couriers car ried money in the form of Finnish marks, or Scandinavian currency, Martens said, and had various varie- ties of passports. Here he began to evade, though Senator Moses of New Hampshire, chairman of the commit tee, and Senator Brandegee, Connecti- cut, were prodding him on with Ques- tions as to messengers routes and methods of travel and disguises.
 Oefles Committee
 "I decline to answer" he stated finally when asked to name one of the couriers, and repeated his words quietly when the topic was pushed further. He, too. had sent couriers, he admitted, but of their fortunes he had not been advised. Altogether, $150,000 had come to him through the underground route, and also an in- struction, so he said, not to spend any of the money "on politics or the SUD- port of internal factions or parties in the United States"

 Doctrine STATEMENTS AS TO
 DEBATES CONFLICT Democrats to Move for Vote Of Entire Senate on
 Ratification

WASHINGTON, Jan 30-Efforts to break the peace treaty deadlock by unofficial bipartisan negotiation ended suddenly in failure today, ana Democratic senate leaders began pre- parations to bring the treaty back into the open senate for considera- ton.
 Lodge Is Absent
 Itvas over the long debated actic.e e ten that the bipart;son movement after bringing Republican and Demo crats together on many collateral is- sues. finally met disaster. The end came after Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts, the Republican leader, had renewed his refusal to compro- mise on that article and had rejected a reservation on the subject written by former President Taft and present ed to the bipartisan committee.
 Democrats Walk Out
 Walking out of the conference with the announcement that further deli berations there were useless, the Democrats quickly drafted plans to renew the fight in the open. The acting party leader, Senator Hitch cock, of Nebraska, announced that notice would be given in the senate tomorrow of his intention 10 move on Feh~uarv 10 to take up the treaty for ratification. Opinion was divided as to whether such a motion would prevail.
 Accounts Conflict
 If 1t does, Senator Hitchcock ex- poets to propose, he said, that the senate adopt those reservations on which tentative agreement mad been reached in the committee and then fight out differences over the others. A draft of the committees work made

STOP PUMPS OF
 B|G TRQOPSH|P
Sabotage Causes Transport On Way for Troops to
 Turn Back

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 30.-Bur- lap was found over the sieves Of the pumps of the Mount Vernon, from San Francisco for Vladivostok, before the big transport was turned back to this port, Capt c. J. Bruguiere reported after his arrival here today.
 Three of the fire rooms were more than six feet deep in water, he said, and firemen sent down to draw the fire had to swim to the ladders. To increase the confusion the ships light ing plant went out of commission, temporarily, while the men were in the water. Five of them were still in the sick bay recovering from ex- haustion when the Mount Vernon reached here.
 When 1t was reported to him that the pumps failed to work, Captain Bruguiere stated, an investigation was started, and some of the burlap removed so that it was possible to start a few of the pumps again and prevent the water from rising.
 More burlap was pulled out in port today, and Maj. Gen. Carol A. Devol. of the army transport service, who conducted an inspection, said all of the water was pumped out of the ship. Neither he nor the ships officers had any theories to offer to account for the presence of the water in the fire rooms.
 General Devol declared that the Mount Vernon was seaworthy when she left here.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Indica- ton of widespread spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction among the farm CTS of the country, so threatening as likely to disturb the existing economic structure, is considered by govern ment officials to be revealed in more than 10000 replies to a questionable recently sent out by the postoffice department.

The views oi the farmers were obtained by the broGdcasting of 2e0,0OO copies of a questionnaire throughout the agricul- tural states asking for suggestions whereby the postoffice department might aid in cutting down the cost of living.
 Cannot Get Labor
 Answers to the questionnaires have been coming in since the middle Sot December at the rate of a thousand a day, and while a small percentage of them are from well satisfied farm CTS, having no suggestions to make. the great proportion as summarized by officials, show the major com plaints of the farmers in numerical order to be:

goods entered into by Martens was submitted to the committee with the explanation that the firms named had agreed to furnish the goods only upon condition that they were given H- censes by the state department to eX- port the products to Soviet Russia.
 Only $10,000 had been paid on the contracts, Martens said, and none of the goods had been shipped.
 You depended on the relations opened with American business con- cerns to help you get recognition? Chairman Moses asked.
 "Yes," Martens replied, adding that he knew of many letters and repre- senations made by Americans friendly to the Soviet government to American officials, and speaking particularly of "at least two" which went to Presi- dent Wilson from individuals, who, he intimated, would likely secure a hear ing.
 Martens examination will be re- stunned after Wade H. Ellis, attorney employed to conduct the investigation, has recovered from his illness.
 At the outset of the hearing today, former Senator Hardwick of Georgia, counsel for Martens, told the commit tee that Martens would present true copies of all communications between himself and the Soviet government, but that it was desired that some of the letters be considered in executive session, as it might involve the safety (of persons who have kept open the lines of communication between Mar tens and his government.

 Previous dispatches from Mexico City have said the governors of the IA states likely would favor lqnacio Bonillas for president.
 Coincident with this reported move on Carranza's part Francisco Villa has established headquarters at Sat evo, in the state of Chihuahua, and the Carranza government has order ed concentration of federal forces in that state at Chihuahua City, accord ing to a dispatch from Chihuahua City to the same Mexican newspaper.
 This is considered significant by Mexican refugees here, who believe Gen. AIVaro Obreeon and Villa are about to unite their forces for reVo- iutlon against the carranza govern ment.
 The IA states whose governors have united in an effort to elect presi- dent from civilian life. are: Chihua- hua, Durango, Nuevo Leon, Tamauli- pas, Vera Cruz, Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Colima, Jalisco, Sonora, Michoacan and Aguas Calientes.
