' Congress Kushes Through
- mil to Pay Expenses.
' WASHINGTON. March 28. Diplo
matic and domestic aspects of the
Mexican problem overshadowed its
military side tonight. Official reports
from General Funston disclosed no
change in the situation on the border
or jn Mexico, Congress rushed through
an emergency appropriation of $8,611,
602 to pay for the pursuit of the ban
dits and the State. Department pre
pared to press General Carranza for
permission to use Mexican railways to
solve the troop supply problem.
Fears expressed in press reports
from the border that failure to obtain
use of the railroads might seriously
hamper the pursuit of Villa were not
reflected at either the State or War
Departments. Senator Gallinger, Re
publican leader in the Senate, presented
to Secretary Baker a telegram from
Senator Fall at El Paso dealing with
the railway and border questions. It
declared the shipments of gasoline in
tended for the American force in Mex
ico were being held up by Carranza
officials.
Carranza Vrjced to Consider.
The communication to General Car
ranza will be made through Special
Representative Rogers, at Queretaro,
to whom instructions went forward
tonight. State Department officials.
aid it seemed necessary to press on
the de facto government the need for
special consideration of the request to
use the lines south from the border
without awaiting the perfecting of the
protocol under negotiation. While it
was said there was no question but
tTie expedition after Villa would press
on and a sufficient amount of supplies
could be furnished to the troops by
motor truck trains, the general use of
the lines would simplify matters
greatly.
News dispatclirs from the border to
night indicating that the Americans
already were using the railroad lines
In some sections were read with sur
prise at the War Department, officials
declaring there had beon no official
advices to that effect,
Vse Relieved Kot Kxtenalve.
Tt was thought that if the American
commanders had used the lines in
some cases on their own initiative it
probably was done in co-operation with
the local Carranza, authorities. Of
ficials do not think any extensive use
of railroads has been made.
There are indications that the check
in the protocol negotiations resulting
from General Carranza's counter-proposal
may extend that discussion a
week more.
General Carranza's suggestions as to
the details of the protocol apparently
are causing serious study at the State
Department. While officials are rcti
cient, it is understood the most im
portant suggestion deals with the ter
ritory to be embraced within the scope
of the agreement. It is thought pos
sible General Carranza desires to set
narrower limits than had been agreed
on by the Mexican Ambassador-designate
and the State Department in the
original draft. Some officials think
the first chief might be unwilling to
have it disclosed just how far the
American forces have penetrated or
may penetrate into his country to
carry out their mission.
Motor Tracks I'sed Extensively.
Secretary Baker was emphatic today
in saying no objection to the use of
motor truck trains to supply the troops
had been raised by Mexican officials.
With the $S, 000.000 emergency appro
priation available, the department will
be able to carry out Its plan for estab
lishing a complete independent supply
system for the troops at the front,
1 regardless of what may be the result
of diplomatic negotiations over the
railroads.
..The aeroplane sltutaic-n also will be
relieved in the near future, now that
the War Department has funds to call
upon. Representatives- of various
aeroplane manufacturers were in con
ference with War Department officials
again during the day. The machines
w-ill be of sufficient size and power to
carry two persons and a supply of
fuel to last four hours. It was indi
cated that with these conditions met,
early deliveries would have an Influ
ence In awarding orders.
Another matter under discussion
which may be put through, at once Is
the builddlng of a high-power radio
Ftation along the border to provide
for continuous communication night
and day.

SHIPPING BILL PUT FIRST
Investigation of Railway Transpor-
tion Conditions Also Declared
Essential to Enture Neces
sary Regulation.
WASHINGTON,. March 25. President
Wilson wrote to Democratic Leader
Kitchin of the House today urging con
sideration of the shipping bill ana ine
resolution for the investigation of rail
way transportation conditions. The
railroad resolution was not included
'n the legislative programme laid be
fore the Democratic caucus last week.
The President's letter to Mr. Kitchin
follows:
"In considering the programme of
the session, there are two matters
which seem to me to stand out more
prominently than the rest as matters
in which time presses, even though
they should not be deemed to take
precedence In intrinsic importance.
Movement ot Industry Waita.
"It would seem as if the whole
movement of our trade and Industry
waited on satisfactory solutions of our
problems of transportation.
"That is the reason why It seems to
me that the shipping bill should be
pressed to an early passage, and I write
today to express the hope that the
Senate joint resolution No. 60 for the
investigation of transportation by rail
ways may find an early opening in the
business of the House for its considera
tion. "I did not put this on the list of
legislation which I suggested, because
it did not, in my mind, fall under the
head of legislation at all, but only .of
incidental action for the purpose of
laying the groundwork for future leg
islation at another session of Congress.
Investigation Is First Step.
"The railways of the country are be
coming more .and more the key to its
successful industry, and it seems to
me of capital importance -that we should
lay a new groundwork of actual facts
for the necessary future regulation. I
know that we all want to be absolutely
fair to the railroads, and it seems to
ma that the proposed investigation is
the first step toward the fulfillment of
that desire.
"I hope that you will agree with me
that this important matter can be dis
posed of without putting any spokes in
the wheels that we are now trying to
make go around in the matter of legislation."

visitors, and when he spoke seemed to
be addressing no one in particular.
Mr. Swann said he was not satisfied
with Waite's statements. He said he
did not regard, them as constituting a
complete confession and indicated that
Dr. Walte and his counsel were paving
the way to introduce an insanity de
fense. Additional evidence regarding Dr.
Waite's alleged activities with germs
was obtained today by the District At
torney's office.
Many Hospitals Duped.
Mr. Swann said he had found that
Walte, through intermediaries who
sometimes represented themselves as
reputable physicians, obtained from the
Rockefeller foundation for medical
research, Bellevue Hospital and Willard
Parker Hospital for Infectious diseases,
as well as the Cornell Medical School,
live bacilli of typhoid, pneumonia, Jiph
theria and influenza. He also obtained
germs from drug manufacturers in
Detroit, the District Attorney said, by
using letterheads of physicians.
Another development announced at
the District Attorney's office today was
that Dr. Waite on Monday, March 20,
before he was arrested, drew a check
for $9300, which he had on deposit in
a local bank. This check is id the
possession of Mr. Swann and a subpena
has been issued for the person to whom
the money was turned over, but whose
identity has not been disclosed.
Mrs. Margaret Weaver Horton, who
shared a "studio" with Waite at a
hotel here, was questioned at the Dis
trict Attorney's office the greater part
of the day. and her own bank account
and that of her husband, Harry Mack
Horton, were examined. Horton said
that about $8000, which was deposited
to his account during the year, was
obtained through the- sale of wireless
apparatus to the Mexican government
Mrs. Horton declared her acquaintance
with Dr. Waite was "just an innocent
flirtation."
'"Wireless Work Wins Position.
VANCOUVER, Wash., March 28.
(Special.) George Sturley, an amateur
wireless operator with a station in
this city, left yesterday to accept a
position on the steamer City of Seattle,
running from Seattle to Alaska. Mr.
Sturley has experimented with wire
less for several years, and his experi
ence in this way qualified him for
the position which he accepted.
DEFENDANT TESTIFIES, TOO
"William Rufus Edwards, of St. Paul,
Says lie Took Miss Cox on Trip
to Obtain Business' Se
crets of Her Employer.
CHICAGO. March 28. Ada M. Cox,
complaining witness jn the Mann act
case against William Rufus Edwards,
wealthy lumberman of St. Paul, was
under severe attark today as to her
character up to and Including the time
she met Edwards in June, 1810.
Miss Cox in her testimony yesterday
said that Edwards was her first sweet
heart. Today men who said they had
known her. at Rockford. 111.; Boston,
New York, ' Rochester, Madison, Mil
waukee and Indianapolis were called
to refute this testimony.
Defendant Makes Denials. '
Chief among1 them were Willard S.
Meara and Willard G. Carmichael
Mears told of living with her in New
York and Carmichael testified that she
had accompanied him as his wife to
hotels in various cities.
The defendant himself took the stand
and denied many important statements
made by Miss Cox. In effect he de
nied that he practiced any seduction.
Edwards eaid that he deliberately
sought the acquaintance of Miss Cox
to get business secrets concerning her
employer.
The employer was W. E. Moge, of
Chicago. Mogg, Edwards said, took
Miss Cox and he took a Miss Gallway
to the theater and to supper when they
first became acquainted.
Girl Proposes Trip.
Two days later, chatting in Mogg's
office with Miss Cox, Edwards said
that Miss Cox mentioned that a Miss
Vogt was on a pleasure trip to St,
Paul. ,
"Turn about is fair play. Why don't I
go to St. Taul?" Edwards quoted Miss
Cox as saying.
"'Sure," I said. I wanted to get in
her confidence to get information
about Mogg"s office."
On the train to St. Paul. Edwards
testified. Miss Cox" actions were sug
gestive and that at no time thereafter
did she protest against the things on
which the Mann act charges were
based.
CALIFORNIA OUSTS FORD
INTRASTATE BUSINESS BY ATJTO
COMPANY IS FORBID!
Refnaal to Pay Franchise Tax Is Cause
of State Action, Which Will Be
Resisted, Says Attorney.
SACRAMENTO, March 28. By a spe
cial proclamation issued by Governor
Johnson, and filed today with the Sec
retary of State's office, the Ford Auto
mobile Company must go out of busi
ness in California, so far as Intrastate
business is concerned, as a penalty for
refusing- to pay the state franchise tax
for 1915.
This means, according- to state offi
cials, that the Ford branches, assembling-
plants and distributing agencies
in California cannot do business in the
state because the charter has been for
feited. After today the company cannot
transact any business in this state, and
this will be followed by the bringing
of a civil suit on the part of the state
for the collection of the tax. The com
pany can do interstate business, how
ever, because the state authorities have
no power over that kind of business.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 28. W. F.
Williamson, counsel for the Ford Com
pany, said tonight that the Ford
branches in California would continue
to do business. The necessary legal
steps to continue operation in the face
of the Governor's proclamation had not
been decided on. he said.
"It is impossible," said Mr. William
son, "to operate our interstate business
from the Intrastate business."
Eventually, he said, the case would
be carried to the United States Su
preme Court.
