SENATE AGAIN INSISTS ON WAR Wilson Decides He Won't In terfere; Bitter Assault on Policy Special to the Telegraph jg Washington, D. C., Jan. 15.—1n one bi the bitterest debates yet in Con gress on the Mexican situation Presi dent Wilson's policy was severely as sailed. Senator Works of California offered a resolution for armed intervention. Senator Fall of New Mexico took up the cudgels and flayed the President's acts since the "war on Vera Cruz." Senator Lodge was a sarcastic In terrupter in the debates, on the side of the war advocates. Senator Stone pleaded to let the President decide what to do in •Mexico. Democrats forced an adjournment, of the Senate till Monday to check 'he debate over the Mexican situation. Army experts figure that it would take an army of 200.000 men at an enormous cost to pacify Mexico. A massacre of Americans in the Tampico district of Mexico is declared probably by one of the largest oil pro ducers of that region, who is on a business visit in this city. Gen. lluerta was interred in a vault! at El Paso without funeral services other than a simple prayer. The body will be taken to Mexico later.

SMALL FINES FOR SEVEN VIOLATORS [Continued From first l*age. 1 lowing are the men who were sen tenced this morning: Raymond Bell, Harrison Keim, Percy Moore. D. E. Newman, George Potter, Boss Swartz. The other man who was called to enter the same plea, but who was too 111 to appear. Is Charles R. Miller. Guyer Only Witness The only witness placed on the stand by District Attorney M. E. Stroup was John P. Guyer. agent for the Law and Order League. Senator E. E. Beidleman and John R. Geyer and Senator John E. Fox represented the offenders; District At torney Stroup was assisted by ex-Deputy Attorney General J. E. B. Cunningham and H. B. Saussaman, special counsel for the league. Unfamiliar With Laws With the exception of Potter. Moore and Bell, the charges alleged the mak ing of false affidavits relative to In ability to mark ballots. Potter and Moore It appeared had given assist ance to electors who were physically unable to mark their ticket, but the helpers had neglected to make proper affidavits. Bell, it appeared had voted for the first time In September and was unfamiliar with the requirements of the law. Newman asked for his assistance because he did not have his glasses at the time and the booth was very dark, his counsel explained. It was close to the time of closing the polls and If he had gone home for his spectacles he would have lost his chance to vote. Acordingly he asked for assistance in marking his ticket. C. R. Swartz didn't know he needed an affadavlt to secure assistance, Ross Swartz was equally ignorant, and Keim had sworn to a defective affidavit. ■lust to Serve Notice In calling attention to the Law and Order League's actions ex-Deputy At torney General J. E. B. Cunningham pointed out that the changes In the election laws and the probable Ignor ance of many electors of the provi sions was appreciated. Under no cir cumstances, he said, would the league insist upon a prison sentence but he thought a fine should be imposed as would serve notice upon the defend ants and upon the public that the election laws were made to be obeyed and that they must be obeyed. At torney Saussaman endorsed Mr. Cun ningham's statements. District At torney Stroup made practically the same plea for the county. He added that similar instances of violations may have happened in every precinct but that so far as his investigators were able to learn there had been no intention of corrupting the ballot or t.he voter; the violations were largely due to ignorance or carelessness, he said. In imposing sentence President Judge Kunkel called attention to the fact that a line of $25 was equivalent to three months in prison. "Ignorance or gross negligence or reckless disregard of the law's require ments" was how Judge Kunkel char acterized the violations. He referred to the fact, however, that no intention to corrupt the voter or sully the purity of the ballot had been charged. He cited the specific instance of violations. The election law of 1913 was made to be enforced, he said, and it is the fluty of the election officers as well as the other officers of the county to see that the law : is enforced. He touched upon the fact that, the primary law is com paratively new and that this might ac count for the failure of the defendants to thoroughly understand all its pro visions. Not that ignorance of the pri mary law is any more of an excuse for violation than ignorance of any law is a defense, he argued; but the fact that it is a new law and that the re quirements relative to affidavits were probably not understood by many might alleviate the offense to some ex tent .he said. He emphasized the fact that these were the first offenses. "Oiip wlio (locs not keep himself advised will not have a very thorough understanding of the requirements of the law," concluded President Judge Kunkel. "This ignorance is not con fined to the illiterate alone. Sometimes men of education and intelligence cannot make their ballots as well as those who can't read."

It was reported that the engineers in the navy yard were testing one of the new Edison batteries installed in the craft at the time of the explosion. These batteries were intended to obviate the danger to the crews of submarines from gas fumes. Recently submarines of the E class were re ported to have made successful trips with the batteries in use. Later reports that came from tht> navy yard were that 12 men had been taken out from the hold seriously in jured and twenty with lighter in juries. They were removed to the naval hospital in the yard. One man was killed outright and at least nine-others were injured In the explosion, according to a navy yard employe who was near the scene of the accident.

She was capable of traveling 14 knots on the surface and 11 knots when submerged. The E2 in September, 1914, had a narrow escape from an accident simi lar to that which befell the F4 outside Honolulu harbor. While the sub mersible. was engaged in maneuvers off Brenlon Reef lightship Ensign Gillam detected chloric gas when the vessel was submerged fifty feet. He ran to the surface by using the pumps in stead of blowing up the tanks. When the submarine reached the surface the coning tower was quickly opened to give the crew fresh air.

All the submarines of the F type were soon afterward brought home for remodeling, which now is In progress. The boats of the F type are one class older than the E-2.

Needs an Army of 200,000 to Pacify Mexico Special to the Telegraph ! Washington, D. C.. Jan. 15. —ln j spite of the many disastrous changes j Mexico has undergone since tho I overthrow of the Diaz regime, military experts of the United States, who are I studying the problem insist that the | pacification of the country could not be accomplished satisfactorily with i less than 200,000 men, at a cost of 1 many millions. Although warfare has impoverished the southern republic, it has brought to the people certain military ad- | vantages which can be obtained only through experience. The men who I have been engaged in revolutionary j activity are veterans in their peculiar j kind of warfare. They know tha country in which the lighting would Ibe done. They have adapted them- I selves to the rigors of the field. Their i losses In resources are probably morn I than offset by what they have gained in military experience. ! For this reason American army offi cers who have come in contact with : them on the border are of the opinion ! that the Mexican soldier of to-day is much more formidable as a fighting ; j unit than he was five years ago, or | before the revolution began.
