DR. BRUMBAUGH IS
HIGHLY PLEASED
Says Quay's Renouncement of the
Bull Moosers Is Only One
of a Large Number
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Repub
lican candidate for Governor, cam©
hare early to-day delighted with a
four days' campaign of western coun
ties and smtling over on announce
ment made last night by nn eminent
Roosevelt man.
The announcement was that of
Richard R. Quay, son of the late Sen
ator M. S. Quay, one of the prime fac
tors in the Roosevr't movsrnent of
1912, thHt he is quitting the Washing
ton party and will vote the Repub
lican ticket in November.
Quay's tardy conclusion is that
there is no Washington party in Penn
sylvania any more.
Quay in his announcement says:
"There has not been a Progressive
party In Pennsylvania since 1912. The
Progressive party hero Is Mr. Fllnn,
and while 1 had great faith in the
reformation for a time. I find that he
is the same old Rill. 1 do not think
the shoulders of Vance McCormlck
are strong enough to carry Mr. Fllnn
through his present deal."
Dr. Brumbaugh said about the Quay
statement:
"I have no comment to make on
this Individual return to Republican
principle!. I have received in West
ern Pennsylvania countless pledges of
support from men voting the Wash
ington party ticket in 1912 and I
value them just as highly and just as
warmly welcome them back into the
ranks of the party they really never
left."
Dr. Rrumbaugh made a whirlwind
trip through towns in the Mononga
hela Valley, stopping at Donora, Mo
nongahela Cit.v and Monessen.
All Washington county turned out
to pay Dr. Brumbaugh a signal non
partisan tribute when he dedicated
the new Donora high school. Uni
formed Sons of Veterans. Burgess
William Depher, President Gilbert
Kodel and members of borough coun
cil. President J. Addison Sprowls and
the members of the school board, and
officialdom and citizens of all political
complexions met Dr. Brumbaugh and
party at the Pennsylvania station.
Two thousand school children carry
ing tiny American flags lined the route
of the procession from the station to
the speaker's stand at the new school
building.
Dr. Brumbaugh replied with a non
partisan plea for the learning that
makes good citizens of school chil
dren. .Ten thousand persons crowded
around the platform to hear the su
perintendent of schools of Philadel
phia.
A mass meeting was held last night
In Donora, when 7,000 persons, mostly
workers in the Donora plant of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate Com
pany. heard the nominees, closed for
the present the Republican campaign
In western counties.

WEDNESDAY EVENING BXBRXSBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 16, 1914.
TROOPS ORDERED
FROM VERA CRUZ
Further Presence of U. S. Forces
at Mexican Port Are Deemed
Unnecessary
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Sept. 16. President
Wilson has decided to withdraw the
American expeditionary troops of oc
cupation from Vera Cruz. There are
about 4,000 regular soldiers nnd about
3,000 marines comprised in the forces
now !jt that Mexican port, and they
will be brought back to this country
as rapidly as the details can be ar
ranged.
Several weeks will be required to
carry into effect the orders which the
President issued last night to Secre
tary of War Garrison and which were
cabled to General Frederick Funston
at Vera Cruz. The decision of the
President was Officially announced at
the White House by President Wilson
himself with the following brief state
ment:
"The troops have been ordered
withdrawn from Vera Cruz.
"This action Is taken in view of the
entire removal of the circumstances
which were thought to justify the oc
cupation.
"The further presence of the troops
Is deemed unnecessary."
Details for the transportation of the
troops and marines back to the United
States have not been worked out, but
will be completed at once by General
Wotherspoon, chief of the general staff
of the army, and other officers of the
War Department, under the instruc
tions given by Secretary Garrison last
night. The President's decision means
the withdrawal, not only of the army
forces, but also of the marines.
Fuller Makes Report
President Wilson feels that there is
no longer any need for the retention
of the troops in Mexico. It is under
stood that the President's decision
followed the receipt of information
from Paul Fuller, the special repre
sentative, who was sent to Mexico
City on a special mission by the Pres
ident.
It is understood that Mr. Fuller has
reported certain guarantees on / the
part of the Carranza temporary gov
ernment with respect to the future
in Mexico and that upon the receipt
of Mr. Fuller's report the President
acted, but what the nature of these
assurances were is not known.
Senor Rafael Zuburan, the Consti
tutionalist confidential agent in Wash
ington, when informed of the decision
of the President was delighted over
the action taken by the American Ad
ministration and expressed tne belief
that it would be received with great
joy throughout Mexico. The continu
ed occupation of Vera Cruz was not
pleasing to the Mexicans, and it is
the conviction of the President that
the bringing back of the army and
marines will remove an element In the
situation In a way that will facilitate
the Inauguration of a new era in
Mexico and In the relations of that
country with the United States.
No orders have been issued regard
ing the naval vessels now in Mexican
waters. Some of the vessels have been
withdrawn, but there is still a strong
force of warships at Vera Cruz.
No decision was announced regard
ing the- army that has been concen
trated along the Texas border.
American Soldiers Cheer
Order For Evacuation
By Associated Press
Vera Cruz, Sept. 16.—Cheers from
the American soldiers greeted the
public announcement of General Fun
ston's order for the evacuation of Vera
Cruz by the American forces which
have held the city since last April.
An officer made the announcement at
the close of an open air picture show
in one of the regimental headquarters.
The news spread quickly to the cen
ter of the city where hundreds of
Mexicans were dining in the sidewalk
cafes. Among them were many men
whose names have been prominent in
Mexican national affairs for many
years. Among these men the order to
evacuate caused something akin to
consternation. A similar feeling seem
ed to pervade the permanent residents
of Vera Cruz. Most of the fugitive
Mexicans here say they will endeavor
to go abroad. Many of them although
rich in lands and mines and factories
and other commercial interests in the
Interior of the country, are poor so
far as actual money is concerned, be
ing unable to realize on their invest
ments.
When the news first became known
it was suggested by some of the ref
ugees that a petition be sent to Pres
ident Wilson to postpone the removal
of the troops. This step, however, was
abandoned because <>f the belief that
such a request would be useless and
also because some of the Mexicans
feared to affix their names to such a
document.
MEXICANS PLKASKD
By Associated Press
Mexico City. Sept. 16.—The news
that the American troops had been or
dered to leave Vera Cruz spread rap
i.dly throughout the capital last night.
The crowds were wildly enthusiastic
and General Carranza. head of the
Constitutionalists, was Inundated with
congratulatory telegrams.
Tuckerton, N. J., Wireless
Station Out of Service
By Associated Press
Tuckerton. N. J., Sept. 16.—The big
wireless station here, one of the two
plants in the United States in direct
touch with Germany, was closed to
day. It was said that the generator
had broken down. Information as to
the exact nature of the breakdown
was refused.
Lieutenant Felix X. Cygax, U. 8. N.,
in charge of the station, said later
that one of the generators of the plant
had burned out last midnight. He
said there was no evidence of any
tampering with the machinery.
The station Is out of operation for
an indefinite period, Lieutenant Gygax
said, as the extent of the repairs to be
made has not yet been determined. It
may take a week or more to get the
machinery in condition to operate the
wireless. There was a large amount
of private and government business on
hand to be flashed across the Atlantic
when the breakdown occurred.
Lieutenant Gygax said that It might
be possible to reopen the plant within
a week only in case the necessary ma
terial to repair the break could be
obtained In the United States. The
equipment is manufactured in Ger
many. If the material cannot be ob
tained here it may be six months be
fore the plant can resume operations.
CAR DERAILED
Two cars were derailed at almost
the same place within the past three
days. This afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.
Third street car No. 602 was derailed
at the electric switch in Walnut street

Division Officials Issue Statement
Showing Why Changes Have
Been Made
From the offices of the Philadelphia
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
this afternoon a statement was issued
showing the true status of the fall
schedule and explaining that not one.
through train on the old schedule has
been taken off the new one. The
statement says that there were almost
70,000 fewer passengers carried by the
Pennsy during the last three months
than during the same period last year.
The railroad statement ; ls as follows:
"Owing to the erroneous reports
circulated within the past few days
relative to the withdrawal of certain
trains on the Philadelphia division,
the opinion prevails that Harrisburg
Is being discriminated against. In
order to set the people straight in this
matter the complete changes in the
schedule which went into effect yes
terday, September 15, Is given below
as it affects Harrisburg patrons:
"Phlladelphla-Harrisburg parlor cars
on trains Nos. 69 and 70 will be dis
continued. Parlor car service between
Philadelphia and York will be op
erated on trains Nos. 69, 6 7 and 70
and their connections.
"Train No. 70 will leave Harrlsburg
at 7.30 a. m. instead of 8 a. m. and
arrive at Philadelphia at 10.20 a. m.
"Train No. 60 will leave Harrisburg
at 10.45 a. m.. 12 minutes earlier than
on previous scherule.
"Train No. 280, which formerly left
for Lancaster at 11.10 p. m., will be
discontinued and an additional train,
known as No. 270. has been added for
Lancaster which will leave at 12.10
p. m. .
"From the above it will be seen
that there Is not one through train
which was on previous schedule that
Is not on the present one. Owing to
the falling off of business in the local
service. It was necessnry to make a
reduction in the service In order to
meet the reduced earnings from this
class of traffic.
"As a matter of interest, the fact
is that there were almost 70.000 less
passengers carried during the last
three months than there were the
same period last year."

Favored; Dr. Brumbaugh
Meets the Sealers
Reports made by almost all of the
sixty city and county sealers of
weights and measures attending the

ond floor, in the ladies' suit depart
ment, a portion of which has been
tastily decorated for the occasion.
Nothing has been left undone to make
the occasion a most enjoyable one for
those who desire to acquaint them
selves with the new fall and winter
modes, and to this end a comprehen
sive collection of ladles' outer apparel
has been brought to the store. Par
ticulars regarding both the fall open
ing display and the anniversary sale
