Washington, Deo. 17. A conspir

purpose of supplying business for
the powder and armament manufac
turer la In existence, according to
Congressman Prince, of Illinois.
Prince today said that army and navy
officers are aiding the manufacturers
In stirring up agitation for greater
defense precautions.
Prince said that 'he principal
trouble with the nation's land forces
was that too many soldiers are doing
clerk's duty or menial tasks.
'We have 150 army posts," he said,
"and that is too many by about 60.
Most of them were established be
cause nearby cities wished the busi
ness a post would bring. The policy
resulted In scattering army over the
country. '
"I want to see the army mobilized
with the men In their. own regiments
and to give the captains a chance to
know their colonels. I want to see
the enlisted men learning soldiering,

WRECKAGE Ojp"SlK
SCHOONiaf'lS DISCOVERED
Nome, Alaska, Dec. 17. Crushed
and splintered wreckage of the trad
ing schooner Louis has been found
near Cape Prince of Wales. This
leads to the belief that Captain
Owens, Engineer Laborde and two
passengers, John Kelly and Fred Rau,
have perished in Bchrlng Sea. The
condition of the wreckage indicates
that the Louis was caught in the Ice
and broken up.
The Louise was a gasoline schoon
er of eight tons gross register. '.She
was built in Nome eight years ago,
and was constructed especially for
battle with .the ice floes.
The schooner sailed from Nome on
a trading voyage two months ago,
and nothing has been heard of those
on board her since.

El Paso, Tex., Dec. 17. A general
advance of the Insurrectory forces
that for weeks have been concentrat
ing near OJIuaga began today and
the cavalry of the insurgents Clashed
with Mexican federal troops at Ha-
clendo, 14 miles from OJInaga. It
is reported that the rebels drove
Diaz's troops from their position and
stampeded the federal vavalry over
the original line to the Big Benl
country in Texas.
This engagement is said to be the
beginning of a movement by Fran
cisco Madero to divide the govern
ment troops in Chihuahua in the
eastern and western sections of the
state.
In Western Chihuahua General
Navarro's forces are demoralized as a
result of weeks of guerrilla fighting.
The morale of the government sol
diers Is very poor, and It Is reported
that many of the privates desert to
the insurrectors after every clash. A
report that General Navarro was cap
tured could not be confirmed.
It was learned thit General Her
nandez,, with relief reinforcements,
from Chihuahua was cut oft by a su
perior number of rebels and unable to
effect a junction with Navarro. Mes
sages Indicate the robels number
4000 men, and that they are prepar
ing to strike a declxlvo blow.
The people of Chlhuubua City fear
that the flntt move rf the Insurgents
will be to tear up t'u Mexican Cen
tral railroad tracks and Invest the
city. Buuluess Is at a standstill and
wild rumors keep the people In con
stant alarm.
The capture of the Insurrectors of
ia Junta Junction, a point on the
Mexican Northwestern railway, was
reported In today's dispatches. Af
ter desperate fighting the federal
forces surrendered the town and laid
down their arms. The Insurrectors
then advanned under Madera- and
Mlnaca.
WANT TO BUILD
A DRIVE WAY
TO INSTITUTIONS
A public highway, which will have
its commencement at the outskirts of
the city, and which will lead to the
asylum and then circle past the asy
lum farm, the state sanatorium, the
reform school and feeble minded
school and back to the city is the
plan which will be discussed Monday
at the Board of Trade building, when
the members of the Board of Trade
will entertain the superintendents of
the various public institutions t at;
luncheon.
The state is badly in need of such
a driveway, and the board Is anxious
to eo-operate with Its officers la se
curing it. It is pointed out that it
could bo constructed with but llttlu
expense, as be state has plenty of
convict labor to spare, and the couu
ty has plenty of road machinery.

which wrought such havoc in

could be used in building the high

will be asked for an appropriation
for the enterprise, but, if it la, it will
be so smalt that It will be of no sig
nificance. It will be the purpose of
the luncheon to learn the views of
the superintendents upon tho matter
