Congress Meapvhile Completes Prep
arations for Increasing Army
Strength. anJ Recruits
' Begin to Pour In.
WASHINGTON. March 15. Secretary
i Paker officially announced at 10.
o'clock tonight that American troops
liad crossed the border. He said Car-
ranza forces were co-operating' in the
Iursuit of Villa.
Secretary Baker made the following
. statement:
"The department received tonight, in
"code, a message from General Funston,
which announces that American troops
-rcrossed the border into .Mexico today,
-but does not give the hour of the cross
' ing. I am happy to say that the dis-
ratch shows that the military repre
sentative of the do facto government
"of Mexico not only interposed no ob
. Ftacle, but appears to be co-operat-iti)?."
Throughout the day the War De
i.rartment maintained silence as to the
situation on the border. General Fun-
Kton was moving his pieces in the game
'with Villa, behind a curtain of secrecy.
. It probably was the most complete
censorship the country ever has known.
iThe screen was drawn so close that the
department itself was not advised of
.the crossing until hours after the
"troops were on the march.
Rumors Thick at Capital.
' Rumors flew about the corridors of
' the War Department all day. Some
-dealt with reported fighting on both
'ides of the border. One said a regi
'3nent of American cavalry had been
'annihilated. Department officials had
.no reports on which such statements
could have been founded.
Only meager news bulletins from the
troops in Mexico are expected. "While
.;four correspondents of press associa
tions have received credentials to ac
company General Pershing's command,
.they will be under strict censorship.
Regulations of the War Department
under which they were designated
vRi-e the commander control over the
information sent back. Nothing that
.could be of value to the enemy will be
permitted to pass over whatever line
. of communication General , Pershinff
-keeps open.
Such messages as are relayed will be
..brief. At most, the expedition will
-liave only field radio sets to keep in
touch with the border and official re
ports will clog this means of trans-
"initting news. The American people
.probably will hear of the chase and
of the battle with the bandits, if there
,js one, in terse official messages from
!eneral Pershing and through the sift
ing of the rumors that reach the Amer
ican side through Mexican sources. ,"
Rumor of .Delay- Disposed Of.
The announcement of General Fun
pton that the chase was on disposed
I -iff rumors that were particularly per
' -distent throughout the day that a. tem
porary halt had been called to permit
1he Carranza. troops to carry out their
own plans to capture Villa before
American soldiers took up the task.
At the State Department it was said
positively that no request from Gen
eral Carranza for such a delay had
."been received. Neither had any re
joinder come to the reply sent to Gen
eral Carranza Monday accepting his
proposal for a reciprocal agreement on
the border.
' Secretary Iansing's note clearly
Mated the position of the United States,
"that the agreement for pursuit of ban
dits was in force with its acceptance
by the United States and covered the
( xpedition after Villa. The Silence of
Carranza and official advices concern
ing his attitude caused the State De
partment to take it for granted that,
the de facto government of Mexico
concurred in that view.
"While the War and State departments
vere busy with these matters. Con
gress completed the work begun yes
terday, the Senate concurring in the
House resolution providing for an n
'. crease of the Regular Army to ap
proximately 120,000 fighting troops.
There was little debate, and the C9
Senators in the chamber voted unanl
'mously for the resolution.
Recruiting Already Bcfcun.
Adjutant-General McCain had acted
without waiting for final passage of
the resolution. Under orders tele
graphed last night recruiting offices
.all over the country which have been
closed for months were reopened this
morning. Before the Senate voted sev
eral hundred men had been enrolled.
Unofficial reports said prospective
Trcruits were flocking- to the colors all
over the land. Department officials
were elated. Of late Army recruiting
has lagged, the wave of prosperitl. the
officials said, making it difficult to ob-
: tain men for the regulars.
Again today the War Department
."was swamped with telegrams and per
sonal callers offering volunteer serv
ices should the country need them.
Several members of the National
. Guard - who called on Secretary Baker
assured him the men of their states
were ready and eager for a call. Indi
viduals also wished to enroll.
To all comers the Secretary ex
pressed his gratification at the patri
otic spirit shown, but added that the

MEXICAN OUTLAW BEING PURSUED BY AMERICANS AND MEXICANS A
MIDST OF HIS BAND.
regular Army, recruited as it soon
would be, would be fully able to cope
with the situation. Pressed as to pos
sible plans now under consideration for
future use of the National Guard, he
returned his usual non-committal
answer: "On that subject I have nothing-
to say."
Emergency Under Consideration.
Such plans undoubtedly are in the
making in the War Department. This
fact, however, does not indicate any
thing more than that the war plans
committee of the staff, as a matter of
course, is doing its share in the work
of the department, preparing in ad
vance for any emergency,, that may
arise.
Reports from the border of the co
operation of the Carranza troops with
General Pershing's force served to re
lieve anxiety of department officials
over the possibility that the troops of
the defacto government might oppose
the movement across the border re
gardless of what General Carranza
himself might say. Officers here have
seen in the movement of troops on the
American side an effort by General
Funston to guard against the possibil
ity of such a development. It is only
good military judgment, it is pointed
out. to take every possible precaution,
irrespective of the diplomatic moves
that may be in progress, to meet any
situation.
There is reason to believe that Gen
eral Funston's instructions cover the
possiblity of hostile demonstrations by
troops" of the de facto government. In
that event there would be ew and far
reaching problems before the Wash
ington Government.
TWO PARADES PROBABLE
Injunction Refused That Would Pre
vent Kival Hibernian. Turnout.
NEW YORK, March 15. The dispute
between rival Irish factions as to
which is entitled to parade here on St.
Patrick's day, as representatives of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, was de
cided in court today in favor of the
organization calling Itself the "Ancient
Order of Hibernians, New York
County."
Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum
denied the application of the "Ancient
Order of Hibernians in America" for
an injunction restraining the rival fac
tion from using a permit obtained fox
the parade.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians in
America asserts that the other organ
ization is composed of members sus
pended for failure to pay dues to the
National body. The court ruled, how
ever, that the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians in America also is entitled to
a permit.
The prospects are that there may be
two parades.
CONVICTS FOR PROHIBITION
Petition Said to Contain 10,000

ALBANY. N. Y., March 15. Petitions
said to contain the names of 10,000
inmates of Sing Sing, Auburn and Dan
nemora state prisons were filed with
the Legislature today by an ex-convict,
who appeared at a hearing in support
of the Wilson-Fullagar state-wide pro
hibition bill.
The cx-prisoner. whose name was not
disclosed, was introduced as "Number
11.221." He said that if the future of
the bill lay with the prison inmates
it would be enacted into law in 10
minutes.

SUGAR TARIFF IS UP
Bill to Repeal Free Clause May
Pass House Today.
THREE DEMOCRATS OBJECT
Republican Speakers Twit Their
Colleagues on Adoption of Pro
tective Measure Need " of
Sloney "Urged as Reason. . .
WASHINGTON. March 15. The Ad
ministration bill to repeal the free
sugar clause of the Underwood-Simmons
tariff law, which would take ef
fect next May 1, came up for general
debate in the House today and its
passage is expected tomorrow.
All of the opposition to the meas
ure today came from three Democrats,
Representatives Bailey, of Pennsyl
vania; Keating, of Colorado, and Van
Dyke, of Minnesota.
Mr. Bailey, who is regarded as Will
iam Jenning Bryan's spokesman in the
House, said it was true the country
needed the money to be derived from
retaining the present tariff on sugar,
but that an economical expenditure of
public funds would have made the pro
posed legislation unnecessary. Mr.
Keating insisted that the measure
would mean the adding of a cent a
pound to sugar to be divided "50
50 between the United States and
the sugar trust." Mr. Van Dyke took
a similar position.
Republican speakers twitted the
Democrats about adopting a protec
tive tariff measure. Representative
Longworth, of Ohio, formally wel
comed tne Democrats into the Repub
lican party, iie earn it was the first
time in a century that the entire mem
bership of the ways and means com
mittee had agreed on a tariff bilL
Representative Collier, of Mississippi,

conditions caused by the war made the

vote tomorrow.

COAL LANDS MAY BE TILLED
Bill Provides Surrender Only of Sur
face Rights to Homesteaders.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 15. Under the provisions
of a bill recently passed by the Senate,
vast areas of land in Alaska Included
in coal land withdrawals may be
thrown open to agricultural entry in
such way that homesteaders will ac
quire surface rights only. It has been
represented that in the Bering River
and Matanuska districts of Alaska are
many lands which might be opened up
as homesteads but for the fact that
they now stand withdrawn from any
and all use.
The bill in question would give home
steaders no title whatever to coal be
neath the surface and would hold en
tries subject to subsequent right of
coal operators to use such of the sur
face as might be required in connection
with coal mining, the settlers, how
ever, to be compensated for any dam
age done their property. .
ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLS
David Coffey, 16, Is Victim of Fire

ASTORIA. Or.. March 15. (Special.)
David Coffey, the 16-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Coffey, of Svensen,
died in this city at an early hour this
morninar as the result of a gunshot
wound accidentally sustained about 6
o'clock last night.
The lad had been shooting seal ana
was returning home at the time of the
accident. While pulling his shotgun
from his boat the weapon was dis
charged, the entire load entering his
side. The injured boy was brought to
the hospital by boat early last night.

but it is expected that he will reoffer
his resignation as soon as deep-water
traffic again is moving -through the
canal. Colonel Harding's telegram Is
so positive that it is thought probable
the Governor may not return to tne
zone at all. Colonel Harding will suc
ceed him.
Reopening of the great waterway
is regarded as an engineering teat sec
ond only to the construction of the
canal. Millions of tons of rock and
earth have been torn out of the col
lapsed excavations. New dredges of a
size and capacity never before em
ployed have labored night and day for
months. Steam shovels have driven
their way into the obstruction where-
ever there was ground, sufficiently
firm to hold them.
In the .meantime the construction
work at the terminals and about the
locks has proceeded without pause.
When the canal-is reopened it will have
advanced in equipment far beyond the
point it had reached when the slides
began. Facilities for quick handling of
ships will be much better than they
were at that time, and the great proj
ect closer to final completion in all
details.
