IJxtra Precautions Taken- to Guard
Communications, on Rumors
That Bandits Are Gathering
tor an Attack on Iilne.
.ML.UMBUS, N. M. April 2. North
from the town of Guerrero and east of
the line of the Mexico Northwestern
Railroad, though Arroyos and over
trails that lead through the iuttee ami
canyons of the Sierro Tarahumare,
American cavalrymen of the Seventh
Regiment are riding night and day
seeking Francisco Villa, according to
the latest reports received from field
headquarters at Colonia Dublan.
Little information concerning the
pursuit filtered over the border today,
and nothing definite was received from
official sources. There were persist
ant rumors, however, that the forces of
Colonel Dodd had captured the man
who wag once the "Robin Hood" of
Mexico, but because of the difficulty
in communication have been unable to
make a report. Late advices from the
camp of General J. J. Pershing at the
front said that the track of a vehicle
believed to be Che carriage carrying
Villa in his flight had been discovered.
Cavalry Riding In Gale.
Other advices said that the American
cavalrymen were riding through the
mountains in the teeth of a heavy gale,
which, now mingled with snow and
now with drizzling rain, cut through
the army blouse and sweater into the
very vitals of the men, but that not a
single man indicated, a desire to give
up the eearch.
Army men here were considerably
disturbed today by numerous warnings
from confidential sources that Villista
adherents are gathering in the Chihua
hua desert, both north and south of
Ascension and near the motor trail
leading from Columbus to Casas Gran
des, for the purpose of attempting to
cut the American line of communica
tion. An extra heavy guard of infan
trymen, with specific instructions in the
tvent of an attack, was placed on a
truck train which left here for the
front today. Isolated camps of soldiers
guarding the line were reached by the
field telegraph and ordered to watch
closely for signs of hostile forces.
Americans' "Wounds Not Serious.
Unofficial information also had It
that several score of Villa's adherents,
who were captured or wounded in the
engagement of San Geronimo ranch
last Wednesday, were expected to ar
rive here during the night. The four
American troopers wounded in the same
battle, it was said, suffered wounds
which are not sprious enough to neces
sitate their being brought here, and
they probably will be taken to the field
hospital at Casas Grandes for treat
ment. When Jesus Sanca and his daughter
crossed the American line today a:
Palomas, the first Mexican town
through which the American troops
passed on the way to the front was left
without human inhabitants. A few
lonely dogs were howling at the doors
of the huddled dirty little group of
Mexican huts, which made up the town.
Sanca, 82 years old, crossed into the
United States in a prairie schooner,
such as used by the "Forty-niners."
Loaded in it were his household goods,
while from the rear swung a water
bucket, under which trotted a stubby
tailed dog. The horses were hitched to
the wagons by means of harness fash
ioned from canvas cartridge belts dis
carded by Villistas in their flight from
Columbus.
Sanca said that one by one the resi
dents had left the town. He, himself,
he said, finally left alone, was bound
for Deming, N. M., "para siempere"
(for always).
FISHING BILL HELD UP

. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. April 2.--The Senate committee
on fisheries. Senator Lane presiding,
was about to vote today on the Cham
berlain bill ratifying the agreement
between the states of Oregon and
Washington governing fisheries in the
Columbia River, when Andrew Furu
seth, representing the Fishermen's
Union, appeared to protest against fa
vorable action.
He insisted that the Fishermen's
Union should have opportunity to pre
sent fully its opposition, and on his
suggestion Senator Lane ordered the
Dill held up for two weeks, and tele
srapnea the union to send a represen
tative to Washington or to submit in
writing its grounds for objecting to
the bill. .
LARGER VESSEL REQUIRED
Ttequest of Aberdeen XaTal Militia
to Be Considered Later.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. April 2. The Aberdeen Naval
Militia recently appealed -to Represen
tative Johnson to have assigned for
their use a naval vessel lareer than
the torpedo-boat Fox, now- at their
disposal. Mr. Johnson took the matter
up with the Secretary of the Navy,
and was told there is no vessel how
available for detail, but that consid
eration will be given the request later.
There are 90 men in the Aberdeen
militia, and the Fox has accommoda
tions for only 2S men and two offi
cers. This makes it impossible for the
entire militia to cruise at. one time.

General Pershing, in which it was said
that half the garrison at the town had
disappeared and it was suspected some
of them had joined Villa.
Americans who arrived here from
Chihuahua City yesterday asserted that
Colonel Cano was with the Villistas
defeated near Guerrero by Colonel
Lodd, but they admitted that their only
basis for the story was street gossip

AVasbinjrton Expects Co-operation of
Carranza in Chase.
WASHINGTON, ' April 2. Sunday
brought no- news to the War Depart
ment about the hunt for Villa.
Secretary Baker was at his office
most of today and well into the night,
but he received nothing but routine
telegrams from General Funston. Hope
for early capture of Villa still pre
vails in official quarters, but some of
the seasoned Army campaigners fear
that failure to take him at Guerrero
may result in a long chase.
Investigations by commanders of
naval vessels in Mexican waters both
on the east and west coasts of reports
that Felix Diaz is in Mexico heading
a new revolution have failed even to
establish that Diaz is in that country.
The reports tell only of unconfirmed
rumors that Diaz is expected to begin
a campaign against Carranza.
It is expected at the State Depart
ment that this week will see the con
clusion of the protocol with the de
facto government for complete co
operation in the Villa chase.

SURRENDER IS SCORED
M'ARTIIl'R CALtS ABANDONMENT
OF PHILIPPINES SHAMEFUL.
Action Declared to Invite Insurrection,
With Consequent Intervention
. by Another Power.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, -April 2. Representative Mc
Arthur last Friday, in the course of the
debate on the Philippines bill, de
nounced the proposed abandonment of
the islands as shameful.
"We annexed these islands," he said
"not from a desire for conquest, but
because we realized that the people
were totally unfit to govern themselves,
and if lctt to work out their own

salvation, would soon have fallen under
the regime of the astute and selfish
Mestizo politicians the only Filipinos
now clamoring for Independence and
the blood-thirsty tribesmen of Man
danao. As there are more than 3000 islands
in the Philippine group and ,as tribal
and sectional feeling runs high, it is
mpossible to establish any system of
government that would draw these
heterogeneous and Incongruous people
nto a national self-governing entity.
In other words, Filipino independence
means revolution such as we now wit
ness in Mexico and a revolution would
mean intervention by the United States,
or, if not by us, then by Japan or
some other world power. Indeed, it
has been suggested that Japan already
has a covetous eye on the islands and
will seize them on the slightest pre
text after our sovereignty is with
drawn. Thus, it is fair to assume that
the inhabitants of the Philippine Is
lands the P'llipinos, the Moros. the
Igerrotes and other tribes and peoples
are altogether incapable of effecting
a strong national sovereignty and of
undertaking the exercise of functions
of self-government." .
CREW HOBS VESSEL
STRANDED STEAMER DOES NOT

Lant Word From Chlyo'a Captain Says
He la Leaving Ship, Which Slips
on Rocks In High Gale.
HONGKONG, April 2. Stranded in a
storm off the Lema Islands, 20 miles
south of Hongkong, the Japanese
steamship Chiyo Maru, whose 229 pas
sengers, mostly Americans, were res
cued by a British warship, now is be
lieved to have been abandoned by her
crew.
Captain Bentz sent a message by
wireless from the Chiyo Maru last
night, announcing that he was leaving
the ship. He said a heavy southeast
sea was running and that his vessel
was slipping on the rocks. - ;. ,
At dawn today , a wireless message
was received from a torpedo-boat de
stroyer, saying that the position of the
Japanese steamer was unchanged; that
the vessel did not reply to signals, and
that it was presumed the crew had
been landed on the Lema Islands, a
group off the entrance to Canton River.
An easterly gale is blowing and a high
sea is running.
The Chiyo Maru left San Francisco
March 2, bound for ports in Japan, the
Philippines and China.

Champion of Suffrage Says There
Can Be Xo Excuse fcr Permitting
Woman to Enter Tliis Country
Who Treaches Violence.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 2. Suffragists of the
militant type will be barred from the
United States if the Senate concurs in
a House amendment to the pending
immigration bill. This amendment de
nies admission to "those who advocate
or teach the unlawful destruction of
property."
While this amendment was not de
signed originally to bar suffragettes.
it was disclosed in the debate that it
later was intended to apply to them.
although the main object sought was to
keep out of the United States foreign
laborers who believe in sabotage. Rep
resentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,
fought the amendment, saying that he
would not bar immigrants who believe
in sabotage as a means of righting
their supposed wrongs.
Raktr Champions Amendment. '
Representative Raker, of California,
was one of the first champions of the
amendment. "There can be no "ex
cuse," said he, "for permitting a woman
to enter this country, call her a mili
tant or what not. who advocates the
unlawful destruction of property that
she may obtain some right. Such ac
tion is nothing but criminality.
"While I believe in woman suffrage
and believe in a suffrage amendment
to the Constitution, I am opposed to
permitting the entrance into this coun
try of those who believe in the doctrine
that they may go on the street and
destroy the mail boxes, tear down mail
pouches, burn property, break windows
and commit -other criminal acts for
which any man would be arrested and
prosecuted."
Gardner Urges Free Belief.
Representative Gardner, who opposed
the restrictive clause, said it was put
in the bill to bar the admission of men
who believe it is right to commit sabot
age. "It was to stop the preaching of
that doctrine that this clause was in
serted," said Mr. Gardner, "and because
I thought men ought to be permitted to
preach any doctrine which to them
seems good that I objected to the in
sertion of this clause. I believe men
ought to be permitted to preach that
which they think right, if they are
wrong, public opinion will take care of
their doctrine much more effectively
than if we try to suppress their ex
pression."
The House, over Mr. Gardner's pro
test, retained the-language that will
keep out both suffragettes and advo
cates of sabotage.
BILL ATONES FOR ERROR
Proposal to Reimburse Homebuilder
Favorably Reported.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 2. A favorable report
has been made on the bill Introduced
by Representative Hawley to pay Pres
ton B. C. Lucas, of Tillamook County,
$500 for losses sustained by reason of
anerroneous survey of land on which
he made homestead entry.
Because of the error in survey Lucas
built his house and made other Im
provements on lands which, when the
survey was corrected, proved to be
outside the limits of the quarter sec
tion' on which he made entry, and ne,
therefore, lost whatever was invested.
The bill will reimburse him to the er
tent named.
DHii
Railroads Heavy Buyers of
Rails; Other Industries in
Need of Supplies.
BUILDING ALSO IS REVIVING
Advance in Oil Prices Also Stimu
lates Drilling Operations; Grow
ing Foreign Demand for
Lumber Is Feature.
CHICAGO, April 2. (Special.) The
expectations of the most optimistic in
the steel market and the calculations
of both producers and consumers have
been upset by the events of the month
Just closed.
Further advances averaging more
than $3 a ton en various lines of fin
ished steel, a scarcity of alloys needed
in the manufacture of certain spepified
qualities, embargoes on shipments
throughout the Eastern territory and
a scarcity of labor all of these have
tended to bring about a decidedly ab
normal situation.
Demand for Steel Widespread.
The demand for steel Is coming from
all classes cf consumers, the most
urgent being from railroads, equip
ment companies, shipbuilders and auto
mobile manufacturers. Recently the
urgency of demand has extended to the
oil trade.
All grades of petroleum were ad
vanced last month, in some cases to
the highest prices ever quoted. This
advance will stimulate new drilling
operatiors in all new fields and in ex
pectation of trade requirements there
has been an active demand for oil well
supplies, resulting in an advance in
drilling tools, engines and piping. The
increase in general building operations
is also a factor in the demand tor
iron, steel, copper and other structural
materials. It is recognized, however,
that thore must be a point where the
factor of cost will act as a deterrent
to new construction. "
Railroads Placing Orders Hastily.
There are several reasons why the
railroads are in the market as heavy
buyers of rails, making reservations
far into 19X7. One is that orders are
now being placed hastily because a
movement is reported on foot among
the independent rail manufacturers to
raise the price from $28 a ton, the
figure quoted since 1901, to possibly
$35. Another reason is that the actual
needs of the carriers is greater than
In- several years.
In other industrial lines, aside from
the metals, an almost equal degree of
activity exists.
In the glass industry, present ac
tivity and prospective requirements
have raised the question of shortening
the period of the usual mid-Summer
shutdown of factories this year.
The principal development in the
lumber Industry is the growing foreign
demand, which although still below
normal has steadily increased during
the last 12 months. The last four
months of 1915 showed a progressive
improvement in exports over 1914 and
in December reached a point 74 per
cent above the same month of 1914.
Foreign inquiries and orders are at
present large, but the supply of ships
is far from adequate.
