DEMOCRATS OF LOWER HOUSE DECLARE AGAINST UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING DESPITE
 PROTEST OF THE PRESIDENT
Wilson Approves Plan of War Department and Warns of Unrest in the World; Proposes That Question Be Left to Coming Convention of Party; Clark
 Calls Caucus of Representatives

|. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-Demo. cratic members of the house, meeting in party caucus tonight, refused to forego an expression of their position on universal military training in the face of an appeal from President Will son that action be withheld so the party's stand might be left to its na- tional convention.
 By a vote of SS to 27 the conference voted down a proposal by Represents tive Doremus, Michigan, that no ac- tion be taken on the question. His motion was a substitute for one pro. posjng that the Democratic members declare their opposition to compulsory training.
 Immediately afterward the Demo crats, by vote of 106 to IT, went on record as against universal training, adopting a resolution declaring 'it is the sense of this caucus that no meas ure should be passed by this congress

Hines to Refuse Demands on Eve of Returning Roads
 To Owners

WASHINGTON. Feb. g. - Belief that Director General Hines will re- fuse to grant the wage increases de manded by more than 100000 rail- way workers continued to grow to- day. As the union officials prepared for what railroad administration of ficials declared likely would be the last conference tomorrow, indications were strong that a bare concession of adjustment of alleged inequalities in pay would be the sum total of changes permitted in the present wage agreements.
 Representative of the workers have prepared a re-statement of their case for submission tomorrow to MT Hines. All declined to discuss its contents but it was understood to be counter propositions to the views of MT. Hines as tSus far laid before the conference
 The conferees held only a brief session today for the reason that preparation of the union argument and claims had not been completed Not all of the workers representatives attended the conference and discus sion was limited to some details.
 Director General Hines was report ed tonight to have received recom- mendations from certain other gov ernment officials that the wage de. mands sof the railroad emnloyes be refused. MT. Hines previously an nounced attitude that no increases could be granted was held by some of these officials to have been proper even though living costs have not come down. The railroads will go back to their owners within less than three weeks and the views given the railroad administration from most government quarters were that in fairness to the owners, general wage increase should not be saddled on them.

providing for universal compulsory military service or training"
 The presidents views were set forth in letter to Secretary Baker trans mitted today to Democratic leadefs in the house. MT. Wilson says it would be unfortunate to make a party issue on this subject, particularly since within few months the party will assemble and declare the principles upon which it deems it wise to com. init itself in national election
 The president says the disturbed state of the world "does not permit such sureness with regard to Amer ica's obligations as to allow us lightly to decide upon this great question upon purely military grounds
 He recalls that he gave his ap. proval in principle to the various Every moderate" training projects sug. gested by the general staff, and ex. presses his "strong feeling" against action by the caucus which would tend "to interpose an arbitrary party determination to the consideration which this subject should receive from the best thought of the mem bers of the house.
 The call for the caucus tonight was issued by Representative Clark, Demo cratic leader, on petition of a number of Democrats opposed to general military training.
 Though not binding on the Demo cratic membership of the house, the caucus decision was interpreted by Representative Caldwell of New York who led the fight against the eau GUS action, as precluding the possi- bility of universal training being in corporated in the army reorganization bill that will soon be brought before congress. In formal statement af ter the conference, he said:
 Unless there is considerable change in the sentiment on the Dem. ocratic side of the house, it is quite apparent there are not enough Re publicans who favor universal train.

SHERIFFS FIND THREE HUNDRED OF N B w PANEL
Have Small Hopes for Jury In First of Deportation
 = Case Trials
Especial to the Review)

TOMBSTONE, Feb. 9.-After a rest of foHr days in the trial Of H. E. Woot- ton, the first of 210 defendants to be brought before the superior court on charges of having been implicated in the Bisbee deportations of July 12, 1917, court will convene here at o'clock tomorrow afternoon; when the third jury panel, containing 500 names, is returnable. Court adjourned on last Thursday afternoon, when the second jury panel of 100 names was exhausted. Despite the large number of names on the third list, it Is not believed here that the needed number of jurors, 12, will be selected from it. Deputy sheriffs, it is reported, have found only about 300 of those listed, and of this number several deputies have announced that they have req son to believe that not a prospective juror will qualify.
 Interest in the return of Judge Sam l.. Pattee tomorrow centers in the probable disposition of the cases against Dewey Chadwick and Norman Abell, who hung red flag from the staff on the court house cupola on Friday night. Chadwick is at liberty under a bond of $500, and Abell was returned from Tucson today. Both are local boys, who declare that the red flag was hoisted as a joke.
 Because of the large number of prospective jurors that will attend the opening of court tomorrow afternoon, it is believed that Tombstone will show a more active aspect than during last week, when the old town took on some of the speed of former years. In addition to the talesmen, the usual number of defendants, witnesses and interested spectators are expected to be on hand

 ''Whenever Samuel Gompers puts his hand on a representative and says elect him. the people will keep that man at home" said he.
 "For once I heartily agree with Gompers and his associate leaders when they "A national crisis is threat ening the institutions of the coun- try" Blanton continued. "When an organized minority of less than 5 per cent of the people can control legisla- tion, and now threaten to elect con- gross of serfs, it is indeed "a national crisis threatening the institutions of the country"

the Fayette county courthouse to get the negro during his trial
 The attempt to lynch Lockett was made just after he had confessed to the murder and as the jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree. He was sentenced to die in the elec- tric chair. March II.
 The shooting temporarily dispers- ed the mob and gave the authorities time in which to rush Lockett to a secret place of safety.
 Troops Patrol City.
 Fearing an attack upon the hand of national guardsmen on duty. the authorities appealed to Governor Morrow for assistance. As a result, 300 troops, members of the 26th and 18th infantry, arrived at 3 o'clock on a special train from Camp Taylor.
 The federal troops immediately be- gan the work of patrolling the streets to keep the crowds from congesting.
 Lockett, arrested last Tuesday night and held in the state peniten- tiary at Frankfort for safe keeping. was indicted late last week and was brought here on a special train this morning for trial. He was heavily guarded.
 Hundreds of farmers from the sur rounding country arrived to attend the trial, and sullenly watched the prisoner as he was marched from the train to the courthouse between lines of state troopers. When the trial opened, the court room was crowded to capacity. Everyone was searched for firearms before admitted to the courthouse. Hundreds gathered in the street in front of the courthouse.

MATLACK TELLS
 OF INSULTS OF
 LINE MEXICANS
Army Officers Show Need of Strong Arm in Handling
 Kidding Bandits

FL PASO, Texas, Feb. 9.-Until Mexico takes a less antagonistic at titude along the. border the United States army must be prepared to con tinue it's campaign againt outlawry directed from centers in that coun- try, army officers from the Big Bend district told the senate subcommittee Investigating the Mexican situation.
 Col. George T. Langhorn, who was in command of that district until a few months ago, and two of his troop commanders, Capts. L. M. Matlack and w. V. D. Ochs, gave the commit tee the details of a long series of raids as we'll as other minor incl dents that have served to increase the hatred of the Mexicans for Amer jeans.
 Muruuia Refuses Help
 Col. Langhorn declared he knew of no case where Mexican officials had offered or agreed to cooperation in the maintainance of order, and Capt. Matlack, whose men have pursued the raiders eight times, told of Gen. Jose Murguia's specific refusal to as sist and even of his instructions to Mexican troops not to attempt to ar rest Mexicans who had crossed the Rio Grande to raid the homes of Americans.
 Tells Ransom Deal
 Capt Matlack is the officer who carried the ransom to the bandit Renteria and recovered the two avia- tors, Peterson and Davis, leaving with Renteria only $7500, half the amount agreed upon. He explained to the committee that the money had been provided by civilians and that he never had been informed the Unit ed States expected to pay any part of it. The reason assigned for falling to deliver more than half, was that after taking the first aviator out of the bandit camp he overheard two Mexicans planning to kill him and the remaining prisoner when he de- livered the balance of the money.
 And there is where I came to the conclusion 1 was not bound by honor to give them the other half" he told the committee.
 Women Are SmuggIers
 For two years Matlack's position on the border was made by circum- stances something more than that of an ordinary army officer. He told the committee there were no civilian eythorities at Candelaria where he was stationed and for two years he acted as judge. Most of the petty smuggling along that part of the frontier is done by women, he said, and in dealing with them he sent them to jail The jail where they were confined was not near any Of

soo.ooO TO GO OUT

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 9.-Orders directing 300,000 members of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes and Railway shop I.aborers to suspend work at a. m. Tuesday, February F, were going out tonight to the various locals of the organization.
 Decision to order the men out was announced by Allan E.. Barker, grand president of the organization, follow ing a meeting today of the general chairmen of the brotherhood. The strike can be averted only if the rail- road administration before Saturday grants wage increases demanded last summer, Barker said tonight.
 "The orders have gone out" he de- clared, "and we would require two or three days to cancel them"
 Want Uniform Rates
 The strike, in addition to wage in- creases requested last summer, is to secure a uniform rate from coast to coast. It would affect storehouse en- ployes, stationary firemen, stationary engineers, steel bridge workers, cin- der pit men and oilers as well as other members of the brotherhood.
 A committee of ten left tonight for Washington. The committee will re- main in Washington up until the time set for the strike to take effect. It has full authority to enter into nego- tiations with the director general MT. Barker said. With the departure of the committee the conference here came to an end.
 In explaining the decision to call a strike Barker said tonight:
 Expect Roads Return
 "The railroads are .soon to be re- turned to private ownership and We feel that this wage controversy, which is with the federal railroad admins tration, should be adjusted before they are released. Our representatives have been in conference with the di- rector general for 10 days. He has not promised anything and we do not believe he is going to do so. We de- cided to issue the strike call before the railroa administration should have opportunity to pass the proposition to the private owners of the lines.
 "The public should know" Barker continued, "that this strike call is not something that has been decided upon precipitately but dates back to last July. Wage demands were presented to the railroad administration at that time and brotherhood memberships authorized to strike to enforce them. We held a strike in abeyance, how ever. upon President Wilson's request that he be permitted an opportunity to bring about a reduction in living costs. He asked for a reasonable time. which he fixed at,60 to 90 days. We have waited six months and there has been no reduction in the cost of living"
 The wage demands of the men aver age 40 per cent, Barker said. adding:
 "There are more than 100000 of our members who receive less than $3 a day. More than 100000 mechanics, consisting of carpenters. masons and painters, are receiving an average of 55 cents an hour. which Is about half the wage received by the same class of labor in the building trades"
