A army scandal, involving the exercise of influence over high officers by a prominent society woman, is described in the report of a court of inquiry issued to-night, and Mrs. Com-wallis-West, wife of Col. William Corn-wallls-West and mother of the Princess of Pless and of the Duchess of Westminster, is officially severely censured. The late Sir Arthur Basil Markham. liberal member of Parliament for the Mansfield division of Nottinghamshire, who died last August, demanded an inquiry in the House of Commons into this matter and was seconded by Irish members, who- declared that a youn Irish officer's honor was involved.

It was since developed that the officer was! Lieutenant Patrick Barrett, of the Welsh Fusiliers. According to a statement in the House of Commons before recess he was completely exonerated; his commanding officer, Lieut. -Col. Delme-RadelifTe was removed from his command and General Sir John Cowans was censured, but was I returned because of his good work. Gen-ito eral Owen Thomas, who.

was also concerned, was vindicated. VILLA OFFERS NEW INSULT TO UNITED STATES Drives Spike tnroush Heart of Eagle on Parral Consulate's. Shield. El Paso, Texas, Jan. 3.

CHARGED WITH SHIPPING MUNITIONS TO MEXICO New York, Jan. 3. The arrest here today by federal officers of Juan T.

MORE MONEY WANTED TO BUILD NEW CRUISERS Washington, Jan. 3. Congress probably will be asked by the navy department to tncrease by nearly a million dollars the limit of cost for the new 35-knot scout cruisers. Of the four ships authorized by the last appropriation bill, only one contract has been awarded nnder the $5,000,000 limitation. bids opened to-day showed only one offer for two ships at a price of above the limit.

"Secretary Daniels and his council considered the situation without reaching any conclusion. As the appropriation act requires that the ships be nnder construction before March 23, it is impossible to fit government yards for the work in tune. It is hoped, however, that with the price limit raised all three can be placed in private yards. GOVERNOR WHITMAN GOES TO BOSTON Albany, N. Jan.
