RE
VISED SHIPPING
BILL INTRODUCED
Democratic House Leaders Pre
pared to Expedite Consider
ation of This Measure.
Washington, May 8. With the in
troduction in the House today by
Chairman Alexander, of the merchant
marine committee, of the revised ad
ministration shipping bill, Democratic
leaders were prepared to' expedite
consideration of the measure after the
pending rural credits bill is out of the
way. The leaders are confident that
the new bill will have the solid sup
port of the Democrats and possibly
some of the Republicans. It is a
combination of various shipping bills
and was redrafted by Mr. Alexander
in conference With administration of
ficials. Majority Leader Kitchin, in an
nouncing his entire satisfaction with
the bill as the result o the new fea
ture limiting government operations
of vessels to five years after the war
closes, said that he would work for
it and predicted its passage. Ship
owners also are pleased with the bill.
In the Senate the measure is ex
pected to be accorded more support
than was its predecessor, which was
filibustered to death last year. Aside
from the limited operation feature,
other changes in the bill are relative
ly unimportant.
The new bill retains provisions pro
hibiting rebating, use of "sighting
ships," unfair combinations and prov
ides for a fifty million dollar bond is
sue for the purchase of ships. The
".l.c.n'.'prahin of the shipping board is
increased to aom to include the sec
retaries of commerce and navy.

Number Dead In the
Mexican Raid Last
Friday Night Was 6
Three Soldiers and Three Civilians In the
List Additional Troops Are Being Sent
Into Region Little New Information
El Paso, May 8. Overnight reports
received by General FunBton added
little to the information regarding the
raid by Mexicans Friday night. Later
reports indicated that the Bizo of the
attacking party was greater, than at
first believed, some estimates being
as high as three hundred.
The raiders" attacked the guanl of
nine men of troop "A" of the four
teenth cavalry at Glenn Springs just
before midnight. The total number
of killed was placed at six, three sol
diers and three civilians, two of whom
were small boys. After continuing
their raids to Deemers and Boqull-
les, they were reported to have re
crossed into Mexico, altho some of
tho military reports indicated that
part of the Mexican force was yet on
the American side.
Additional troops being sent into
the region will be disposed in such
manner as to give to the ranchers
greater protection, but it was indicat
ed at General Funston's head.quarters
that fresh efforts in the southern de
partment would be made to have the
war department add to the strength
of the force there
If it is decided to send into Mexico,
from that part of the international
line, punitive expedition, a much
larger force is necessary than that
now available, according to army of
ficers. Heading For Interior.
Alpine, Texas, May 8. Fleeing
through the wild mesas of northern
Coahuila, the seventy or more band
its that raided the American settle
ment at Glenn Springs and Boquillas
last Friday, killing three cavalrymen
and a nine-y ear-boy, are believed to
be heading for the Interior today,
many miles from the scene of tneir
depredations.
Need of Additional Troops.
San Antonio May 8 Army officers
here today are hopeful that the Glenn
Springs raid will serve to arouse the
War Department to the Dressing need
of additional troop3 for border patrol
duty.
The nine soldiers attacked at Glenn
Springs belonged to the Fourteenth
Cufairr. which has been patrolling a
stretch of nearly 4J0 miles of the
wildest country along the Mexican
border. Because of the large area to
h covered, it was necessary to divide
the regiment into many small com
mands.
Receives Reports
ker would not say whether Genoral
Funston had made new recommenda
tions at this time. It is known that
the calling out of a portion of National
Guaxd to aid in the border patrol Is
now under consideration.
The State department today receiv
ed the report of the Glenn Springs
raid, agreeing with those received
from General Funston and with press
dispatches. -
General Funston's Remarks.
" j'l Paso, May 8. General Funston
said' it would not "be proper" for him
to disc lose whether or not an expedi
tionary 'Oreo was going into Coahuila
in pursuit' at the Mexican bandits. He
did not deny there would be such a
movement, h ' said, however, he
believed that troops "had not yet
crossed the boruor."
Posse Said to Have Followed.
Alpine, Texas, M.y 8. A posse
from Marathon and detachment of
23 troopers of tho H?h cavalry are
said to have followed 'the Mexican
train into BonuHlas, whii? other re
ports sav the Americans aie waiting
at the Rio Grande for reinforcements.
Two companies of the 14th cavalry
and a machine gun company aro ex
pected here or at Marathon today.
They will head forward to the H'g
Bend country.
- It is not known- here - whether the
new troops contemplate a long pur
suit of the bandits into Mexico or will
be placed as additional guard along
tho border. Reports here say that
many bandits are operating between
Boquillas and Presidio, Just south of
the Rio Grande.
It is about a three-day's march from
either Marathon or Alpine to the Rio
Grande, and, as the bandits already
have a three day's start, only a re
lentless pursuit will bring the Ameri
cans in contact with them.
To Increase State Force.
Austin, Tex., May 8. The State
ranger force is to be increased by
fifty additonal men at once, and a call
may be Issued for a hundred addition
al rangers for service on the border,

Hugh L. Scott appeared confident
today that before night General

was believed would be the final
conference regarding tho status of

the latest bandit activities along the

to better protect the border, but State

ister of war, or his subordinates.

method of direct co-operation for the

Springs raiders might result from the
conference today between General
Scott and General Obregon at El
Paso, The conferees met yesterday
for the purpose of working out the
final form of the agreement they have
