GERMANS WORKING
 ON AIRCRAFT FOR
 COMMERCIAL USES

GENEVA, April 9.--(By the Associ- ated Press)-The Germans are work ing feverishly to construct giant com mereial and passenger airships and airplanes. according to report from Romanshorn. The first trials of two monster planes were successfully held yesterday above Lake Constance.
 The airship Nordstern, greatly sur passing the Zeppelin Bodensee in size, capacity and power. flew for half hour around the lake with a crew of seven men. At the same time a new giant hydroairplane. whose motors totaled 1000 horsepower. made aerial rips with 20 passengers.
 Both machines were recently com pleted at Friederichsaven. where the airshfp factory is said to have doubled in size since the armistice and other monsters have already been begun. The Germans are concealing the-results of the trials and no reports of them are published in the press.

 WASHINGTON, April e.-Vir-
 tually admitting that the strike
 of trainmen and swItchmen over
 the country had gotten beyond
 the control of union officials, w.
 G. Lee, president of the Brother
 hood of Railroad Trainmen. teIe-
 graphed Representative Cooper.
 republican, of Ohio, today asking
 whether present laws "appIy to
 renegade organizations or those
 melting illegal strikes"
 Mir. Cooper, who is a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, took the matter up with Acting At torney General Ames and was told that. while the department of justice was watching the situation. it had no statement to make at this time.
 Before this telegram was received the senate had adopted without a rec ord vote Senator McCormick's resolu- : ton directing the interstate commerce committee to investigate all strikes of railroad employees not sanctioned by the responsible officers of the railroad unions. Chairman Cummins Of the interstate commerce committee an nounced late today that the investiga- tion would begin next Tuesday, but that he had not decided whether it would be conducted by a full commit tee or by a sub- committee.
 Meantime, the senator has tele-
 graphed to Mir. Lee, asking for the
 names and addresses of the labor
 leaders in Chicago in connection with the strike, with view to
 summoning them before the com
 mittee. In calling up his resoIu
 ton, Senator Mccormick said
 President Wilson's failure to ap
 point the members of the railroad
 labor board, which is to handle wage and other disputes under the provisions of the transportation act, made the senate investigation
 necessary, for in no other way could the public be given the facts. White house officials said today the president was selecting the members of the board and that the nominations could be looked for at any time.
 Administration officers are giving close attention to the strike.
 It was suggested that before any other step was taken, an appeal prob ably would be made to the men to re- turn to work pending a settlement of their wage demands through ethe ma chinery provided by the transporta- tion act

DECISION AS II. |. w. W. EVIDENCE
 GIVEN BY PAT TIE
Holds I. Must Be Confined to Activities Having Bear ing on Conditions in the Warren District Only = Gives Written Opinion
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel


 TOMBSTONE. Ariz., April 9-The defense in the case of Harry F. Woot- ton, charged with Kidnapping in con- nection with the Bisbee deportations of July F. 1917. will not be permitted to introduce evidence tending to show activities of the Industrial Workers of the World outside of the Warren min activities bear on conditions in that district at that time. Judge Samuel L. Pattee ruled today.
 The defense will be allowed. how ever, to offer its documents separate ly, but if the exhibits fall within the class objected to by the court they will be excluded, Judge Pattee announced.
 Judge Pattee made known his views in written opinion, which it was understood would be supplemented by further expressions at a future time. The text of the opinion follows in part:
 Only Portray Conditions in District
 Tt is not perceived how the con- duct of the members of the q. w. W.) organization in other places and at
 
 any light upon the situation existing in the Warren district. It is not what was done in other places by other per sons, though they may all have been members of the common society, that created the peril, if peril there was, which would excuse the conduct of the defendant. Only insofar as the acts or conduct or writings bore upon the situation in that district can the evidence be admissible, and this view would necessarily exclude a mass of documentary evidence presented. con- sisting of correspondence between the officers and members of the T. W. W. relating to conditions and acts or pro- ing to do with the situation at Bisbee. Such documents must, therefore. be held incompetent and the offer of them as evidence rejected.
 To Offer Documents Separately
 Tt has been impossible at the time the court has had to consider these matters to attempt to select from the mass of documents those coming with in this class, but to preserve the rec ord, counsel are entitled to offer them separately, when, if they come within the class indicated, they will be ex- cluded, if proper objections are made"
 c. l.. Kimbrough, a farmer of Me- Neal, who continued at work in the mines after the Bisbee strike was called, said he was threatened with having his property burned and his family run out of town barefooted" if he did not join the strike. The wit ness said that as the result of this threat he sent his family to Texas and obtained permission from the author ities to carry a gun.

| PARIS, April 9:-Instructions will be | sent the British representative here not to attend the pending conference Of | ambassadors. here if France shows signs | of intending to act independently in German affairs, says Pertinax, political editor of the Echo de Paris. He says this fresh threat has been formulated ''in addition to the conclusions set forth in semi-official statements from the London cabinet.'
 BERLIN. April s-By the Asso- ciated Press)-Advices from the Rhine land report that the French commander in chief in the area occupied by his troops has ordered all Germans to Sa- lute the French flag and French off cers and that he threatens reprisals in the event there are fresh outbreaks.
 The arrival of fresh French forces throughout the day is reported. Rail- road communication between the occu- pied area and the rest of Germany is still suspended. Strassbourg dispatches say new troops are steadily crossing the Rhine.
 PARIS, April 9.-Paul Cambon, the French ambassador in London, has been instructd to present to the British government the response of the French government to the note sent to France by Great Britain yesterday with regard to the French invasion of the Ruhr.
 LONDON, April 9.-It is announced in authoritative quarters that Thurs days communication giving the British official view of the French advance into Germany was made chiefly to pre- vent any possible damage to the Anglo French alliance "on which the hope of the world is centerei." And in no wise with the purpose of exciting public opinion here or in any other country Moreover, it is said that the views ex- pressed were those of the entire Brit ish cabinet and not those of any indi- vidual minister.
 The ministers, it is declared, feel that there is nothing to be gained in any alliance by glossing over or ignor- ing the seriousness of a situation en- gendered by one ally taking military action on it's own initiative against the opinion of other allies

FL PASO, Texas. April 9.-F'rancisco Villa, the Mexican bandit, is headed north from Parral, Chihua, with per sonal command of several hundred men, according to an American who arrived at the border today, and who said he had been a captive of the revolutionist one day and night.
 Villa, according to the American, who is a mining man with interests in Mexico, said he would show all Mexico that he would be "hard to deal with" " The American asked his name be not published because of possible danger when he returns to Mexico.
 The American was captured while hunting near Parral, eleven days ago, and taken before the bandit leader. He said Villas command was well clothed and fed and the horses in fine condi- ton. The bandits or reyolutionists have with them a pack train of mules, carrying a large supply of silver bull lion, he said. The American was we'll treated, he said, and was held merely for what information he could give Villa

{. ?. DE MEXICO
 TAKEN OVER BY SONORA STATE
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

MORALES, Ariz.. April 9.-The Southern Pacific de Mexico railroad, an American owned line. was seized by the state government of Sonora, Mexico. today. The railroad for some days has been tied up by a strike of employees and three days ago a Mex ican federal judge at Nogales. Sonora, said unless the strike was settled within three days the Mexican fed eral government would seize tie road and operate it with soldiers.
 No formal notice of the intention of the Sonora officials to seize and op- crate the line was given the railroad, officials here and at Tucson said. These officials said the strike soon would have been broken had not the state authorities acted.
 The Southern Pacific de Mexico is a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific railroad in the United States and thousands of Americans are in- terested in the Mexican line by virtue of holding stock in the American con- cern, it was said. .
 With the seizure of the line the Mexican authorities started operating trains, employing the strikers with the announcement that the demands of the strikers regarding hours and pay would be met.
 The threat of the Carranzd federal to seize and operate the line with soldiers was met with a threat by strikers and political lead CTS that such a course would lead to revolution in Sonora. In this state threats of a break from the Carranza have been frequent of late.
 Seizure of railroad by a state in an effort to break a strike sets a precedent on this conti- nent, according to local railroad off, cials.
 TUCSON, Ariz., April 9.-Action by the federal government of Mexico will be awaited by the Southern Pacific of Mexico railroad before anything is done regarding the taking over of the lines by Governor de Ia Huerta of Sonora, Colonel Epes Randolph, presi- dent of the road, announced here to- day. He stated that his agent in Mex ico City had been instructed to call the attention of the federal authorities there to the Sonora governors action in taking over the lines.
 President Randolph called attention to an injunction recently issued by the federal court in Sonora forbid ding seizure of the road by the Sonora stating that in view of this injunction he expected President Carranza to order Governor de la Huerta to return operation of the rail- road to its owners.

CHICAGO, April 9.-A break Tn the unauthorized strike of swItchmen ana enginemen at Chicago, where IL start ed nine days ago, spreading to mum her of cities was announced today py X r Whitney, vice president or the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, who conferred with committee of strikers f~om the Chicago and North western railroad.
 The delegation was said to have told Mir Whitney that a vote would be taken within 24 hours with a view to ending the strike on that railroad by Saturday night. Brotherhood officers said that a number of strikers re- turned to work today and predicted that the movement of freight in the Chicago area would pc near HUI his'i by next week.
 Another group of strikers today re- ouested the mayor of Chicago take steps to settle the strike by address ing a mass meeting of yard employees Leaders of the insurgents said the strike was not only not broken but would be carried on until a new union was completed.
 Reports from rail centers through out the country indicated that nearly 10000 railroad men were on strike. Ereioht er,barqoes were declared in a number of cities Breaks in the strike were reported in few places. Switch men and brakemen on the Missouri Pacific railroad at SedaIia. Mo-, who walked out this morning. returned to work this afternoon. Railroad officers in the New York area reported that strikers were returning to New Jersey yards where about half the workers struck.
 Heads of the brotherhood tonight denounced the strike as purely an att tempt to disrupt the old unions. More l. <I,- 4x-slr asked in a letter addressed to the Western Association of Railways by he five big railroad brotherhoods.
 ssWe wish to assure the railroads with whom we have contracts that it is our purpose to support the integrity of these contracts by endeavoring to protect them to the fullest extent, in order that the public may not be se- riously inconvenienced.' the letter said.
 Agitators Blamed
 We appreciate. however, that ow- ing to present economic conditions over which we have no control and the fact that the situation has been grossly misrepresented by irrespon- sible persons, who have assumed dic- .atorship of an unorganized body of men, that it will be difficult for us 70 entirely relieve the situation until re have had further opportunity to meet and talk with our members. We believe the railroads will cooperate with us to that end"
 Important developments of the
 day were the ordering of an in-
 vestigation of the strike by the United States senate and an an
 nouncement by w. G. Lee, presi
 dent of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
 road Trainmen, that the brother
 hood would oppose any attempt to
 settle the waIkout by mediation.
 We will resist every effort to settle | this illegal strike by mediation" Mir. I Lee said. There is nothing to me- | diate with the insurgents, and the | fight now is to preserve the recOg- | nized labor organization
