VILLA DECLARED OUTLAW CARRANZA PROCLAIMS HIM OUT LAW, TOGETHER WITH TWO OTHERS. Any Citizen of Mexico May Execute the Outlawa Without Formality, 8aya Carranza. Washington. General Carranza totifled the Mexican Embassy here that he had formally proclaimed Fran cisco Villa, Pablo Lopez and Rafael Castro outlaws because of the massa cre of American citizens at Santa Ysabel. Under the decree any citizen of the Republic Is authorized to exe cute the outlaws without formality. It says: ''In view of the frequency with which outrageous crimes are being committed by bands of outlaws scat tered in various parts of the Republic, even after the annihilation of the armies of the reactionaries by the Constitutionalist forces I believe that the situation thus created calls for the extremity of energetic measures of suppression in order that such crimes shall be met by severest pun ishment to those who are responsible for them. . "In view of the recent attack on a railway train at a point distant eight kilometers from Santa Ysabel in the State of Chihuahua by bandits led by Rafael Caatro and Pablo Popez, mem bers of the forces commanded by Francisco Villa, under whose or ders they were operating and in ac cordance with the precedent establish ed by the constitutionalist govern ment in similar cases occurring In the past, I have seen fit to issue the fol lowing decree: - "Article I. The reactionary leader and ex-Oen. Francisco Villa is here by declared to be outside the pale of the law. "Article II. The reactionary lead era, ex-Gen. Rafael Castro and ex Col. Pablo Lopez, are hereby declar ed to be outside the pale of lb 8 law. VArtlcIe III. Any citizen of Mex ico is empowered hereby to arrest the leaders, Francisco Villa, Rafael Costro and Pablo Lopez and to execute them without any formallity of the law. But the citizen performing such func tion shall make a record In writing describing In detail the occurrence and setting forth the proofs of the identity of the outlaws and the proof of the execution."

VILLA MEN ACCOUNTABLE Washington Government Knew of Plana of Rebels But Depended on Carranza For Safety. Washington. Death to Americans In Mexico and destruction of their property as well as war to a finish against Carranza, was determined upon, it has just became known, at a formal convention of the Mexican rev olutionary loaders held In November at a ranch near Cordoba. Present and Joining In the agreement are said to haveb eenr epresentatives o f Villa, Zapata. A rgumedo, Higlnlo Aguallar, the Ccdillo brothers and many lesser chieftians. Meager reports of this gathering came to the state department long ago but they were not made public and until this time few people In Washington knew that there was a general conspiracy against Americans, or even that tho various rebel fac tions In the field In Mexico had effected any kind of an agreement for concerted activities against the de facto government. The massacre at Santa Ysabel, at tributed to bandits led by Villa of ficers, Is believed to have been per petrated In accordance with the rebel convention order. Officials think the long period that passed after the Cor doba meeting before the murders was because of the time required by the various delegates to make reports to their commanders, and the fact that the news of the convention's decision had to be carried to subordinate mili tary commanders by courier. Cor doba is on the railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City and some 1,000 miles from Santa Ysabel. The Carranza authorities have been fully advised concerning the move ments of the rebels and have been depended upon by the Washington government to take every possible pre caution to prevent the threats against Americans from being carried out. They are believed to have the situa tion fairly well In hand now, although the chiefs whose delegates met at Cordoba still are in the field, operat ing more or less openly. PRESIDENT'S TRIP APRROVED.

Board of Inquiry Appointed to Make Thorough Inquiry Into Disaster Which Cost Five Lives. Washington. Gas generated by the new Edison storage battery and Ignit ed by a spark of unknown origin is held responsible for the explosion on the submarine E-2 at the New York Navy Yard recently in a report to Secretary Daniels by the board of in quiry. This investigation was pre liminary to that now being conducted by the naval court of inquiry to de termine the cause of the disaster In which five men lost their lives and nine were seriously injured. As only one of the survivors was in a condition to testify the report is regarded by the Secretary as in conclusive. The findings of the board were made public aa follows: - "1. The board concludes the ex plosion was due to an excessive amount of gas, namely, hydrogen, generated from the storage batteries, forming with the air a highly ex plosive mixture. That there were two pockets of this mixture, one at the end of the after battery and another at the forward end of the forward battery; and it appears that the in itial explosion occurred at the after end of the atfer battery. "2. That the ignition was caused by a spark, the origin of which the board is unable to determine. "3. The exact conditions existing In battery compartments at the mo ment of the exploslton cannot he de termined, as Chief Electrician Miles, U. S. N., who was in charge at the time and the other enlisted men in the compartment at the time are too sprlously-Injured to be questioned. "4. The condition of the batteries at the low voltage and amperage, 8? and 940, respectively, at about 12:25 p. m., would probably cause a reversal of voltage in some of the cells, and, in the opinion of the board, this cauB ed the generation of an excessive amount of hydrogen gas." CHEAPER ARMOR PLATE. if Flve-Year-Bulldlng Plan la Adopted Price Will Be Lower. Washlngton.-Substantial reduction In the price of armor-plate was prom ised the senate naval committee by L. O. Grace, president of (he Bethlehem Steel Company, if congress would adopt the administration's proposed five-year naval building program. Mr. Grace was testifying at a hearing on Senator Tillman's bill to, provide tor a government armor factory. "We are now selling armor plate to one purchaser, the government of the United States, and that purchaser without a policy," said he. "Adopt a policy and we will meet with this com mittee or authorized government offi cials and make a price which I am sure, you will admit is fair. We are willing to take almost any price to pre vent the government from erecting its own plant and making us throw away the $7,100,000 we have invested in this highly specialized business."

"War is a condition which may be forced upon us any day through dip lomatic notes," he said, "without ac tion by Congross."

General Carter laid before the com mittee a report submitted by him to tlie Secretary of War last April be fore his retirement and while he waa commander of the Department of Hawaii. It was prepared at the sec retary's request for his views as to a proper military policy for the United States aud It seemed evident, he sitid, that it formed the basis for the con tinental army scheme, even to the name, which Mr. Garrison has propos ed. General Carter recommended In creasing the standing army to 131, 500 men In the United States; that the Federal volunteers be organized and trained on the basis of an infan try regiment to each congressional district and that additional appro priation be made for the militia. Instead of a period of Intensive training for Federal volunteers he proposed that a colonel for each vol unteer regiment be appointed from the regular army and also a non commissioned staff. If the troops were enlisted for two years and train ed in such ways as might be found practicable In each district he said, about the same amount of instruction could be given as in six months of intensive training.
