of 15 points. United States Steel was
steady to firm and shippings were de
cidedly active and strong with 2 to 3

higher with an eight-point rise in Dia
mond Match, 5 for Sears Roebuck, Hi

U.S. EXPEDITION
BEGINS MARCH
OUT OF MEXICO
Entire Force on the Move
Within Next Three Days Is
Unofficial Report
El Paso, Texas. Jan. 20. lt was
unofficially reported by army officers
that actual withdrawal operations
were under way at El Valle, the south
ern outpost of the punitive expedition
in Mexico, and at ran Juoqutn, be
tween El Valle and the field headquar
ters at Colonia Dublan.
Predictions that the entire expedi
tion will boffin its march to Columbus,
N. M., within the next seventy-two
hours were made by the army officers.
All supplies billed to Americans in
the Casas Grandes, Colonia Dublan
district, and sent to Juarez for trans
portation over the Mexico Northwest
ern railroad have been ordered held
at Juarez, and no further shipments
of supplies wil be made over this road
for the punitive, expedition.
Arrangements are also being made
in Juarez lor sending all available
freight cars to the Casas Grandes to
bring out the stocks of goods and
surplus supplies from the stores of
the American Mormons and others
who have been supplying the Ameri
can troops in Mexico.
The dispatching of four empty mo
tor-truck trains of thirty truck each
from Columbus during the last twenty
four hours was taken here to mean
early withdrawal. The pitching of
large tents at Columbus lor housing
equipment, ordnance, merchandise
and other army stores also was con
sidered an indication of the early with
j drawal and arrival of the expedition
j ary column at the field base.
General Pershing's troops will be
j disposed along the border with head
j quarters at El Paso and San Antonio,
! according to reports here and in Col-
I uinbus to-day.
National Guard Will
Return Immediately
Washington, Jan. 20. Formal an
nouncement or orders for withdrawal
of the American expedition in Mexico
are still lacking, though there was no
disposition in official quarters to doubt
dispatches from the border indicating
that the movement of Pershing's men
northward already was underway.
President Wilson has approved the
plan to bring the troops out and there
have been plain intimations that fic
tion would precede any further state
ment on the subject.
All details of the withdrawal are
understood to have been left to Gen
eral Pershing, and General Funston
already has worked out his plans for
distributing the regulars at strategic
points along the border.
As soon as these regulars are
available, the homeward movement of
j National Guardsmen still doing bor
i der patrol service will begin. The
I plan has been to relieve a large purl
| of the guardsmen, if not all of them,
; immediately.
Withdrawal of the Pershing expedi
tion was one of the recommendations
of the American members of the now
J defunct Mexican-American joint com
. mission, it has been advocated for a
I long time by army officers. The army
I went into Mexico to get Villa, "dead
j or alive."

BELIEVE EXTRA
SESSION SUITABLE
Grave Doubt of Favorable
Action on Many of Adminis
tration's Measures
Washington, Jan. 20. Talk of an
extra session of Congress to complete
President Wilson's legislative pro
gram, unless action is had before
March 4, was again heard at the Capi
tol to-day.
With less than 36 legislative days of
the session remaining, there is grave
doubt on the part of the many sen
ators of favorable action in view of
opposition to much of the proposed
legislation, including the waterpower
and other conservation bills, the rail
road strike prevention bill and the
Webb collective foreign selling agency
bill.
$4,000 FIXED AS BAIL
FOR MILLER AND WIFE
[Continued From First Pago]
case yesterday afternoon by the dis
trict attorney's otflce, when sho and
her husband were Jointly charged
with murder. At a hearing before Al
derman James B. DeShong of the
Twelfth ward, both were held without
ball for court, but Mrs. Miller was not
jailed when the Rev. Mr. Hotter said
he would nee that she appeared in
court this morning. Miller, however,
was sent, back to the county prison.
Miller's nttorney, Mr. Earnest, at
i onco tried to have him released on a
j habeas proceeding, but Judge Kunkel
could not lie found In chambers and
I the proceedings were then instituted
this morning lit 10 o'clock.
I Uoth District Attorney Michael E.
JANUARY 20, '1917.
Stroup and Miller's counsel tried to
show that the burden of proof was
upon the other's shoulder. The court
I finally decided it was up to the dis
, trict attorney to show cause why the
■ accused should t>e held without bail.
Mrs. Agnes Milled was called as a
witness, and sho told the same story
she related at yeßterday afternoon's
■ hearing. She said she had visited
the Miller home but once and that
the mother was apparently very will
ins that sho should see the invalid
youth.
A nearby neighbor, Uzzie Gipe, tes
tified along the same lines, saying that
' on a visit to the homo she found Clay
s ton, the son, with the death pallor on
. his face and apparently dying.
The most incriminating evidence
was introduced by W. C. Henry, 1255
• South Thirteenth street, a photog
rapher, who took pictures of the body
r after the death, and by l)r. Harvey
Miller, a physician, who examined the
corpse. Both described the body to
have been in a horrible condition.
Covered with bed sores and with bones
protruding from the flesh.
Dr. Miller said that with proper
treatment most of the bed sores could
have been cured and that at the
' time of investigation they showed no
signs of treatment. He also declared
that in his opinion death resulted
from starvation.
After hearing the evidence the court
1 decided the accused parents should
i be allowed ball and asked the dis-
I trict attorney what amount ho would
suggest. After some arguments the
bail was fixed at $4,000 for each one.
Held by Alderman
I Although exonerated by a coroner's
Jury yesterday morning, Miller was j
• held without bail yesterday afternoon
i by District Attorney Michael E.
: Stroup.
Eleven witnesses were subpenaed
1 for the hearing before Alderman
i James DsShong yesterday afternoon.
, All of the witnesses were not called.
Despite the district attorney's best
efforts he seemed unable to gather
much information touching on condl-
I tlons prior to the boy's death. Several
I of the women who were called denied
I i (he statement that the mother ob-
I Jected to their going up stairs to see
. i the boy. They all admitted that the
, family was very poor and unable t"
furnish the boy with all the comfort
that so miserable an invalid should
! have had.
Dr. R. I>. Perkins, who in connec
tion with others conducted an autops
on the boy's body, read a lengthy re
1 port of the investigations. The re
port described in harrowing detail
the horrible condition that the bod>
was in at the time of the invalid'.'
death. He said that the intestine:
were found to be "flat as a ribbon'
and that the stomach did not contair
an ounce of food. The report wa:
summed up by saying cause of death
was "inanition from starvation."
