EMBARGO ON WOOL
MEANS HARD BLOW
TO INDUSTRY HERE
Manufacturers in Dilemma
Over Order Following
Live Stock Plague Seek
Way to End Plight.
The Federal 'quarantine on wool ns a
result of the epldcrlc of foot nnd mouth
disease Is affecting tho woolen Industry
of Philadelphia to such mi extent that
a meeting of tho Executive Committee
of tho Philadelphia Wool nnd Textile
Association will be held todny to take
measures to relievo tho situation.
Philadelphia, the second largest wool
manufacturing centre In tho country, Is
Isolated from lis markets through the
embargo The output of the city's woolen
mills, repicscntlng many millions of dol
lar's nnutlally, Is tied up, the railroad-)
having refused to receive shipments of
woolen goods consigned from tho city,
nnd In many cases tho Federal cmbnrgo
has prohibited shipments of wool and
wasto Into tho city.
Tho situation Is confusing to the woolen
manufacturers, who maintain that tho
cmbnrgo Is not clearly dellucd. Tho meet
ing today Alll be held In tho offices of
Charles J. Webb & Co., US Chestnut
street. Manufacturers will discuss tho
cxait meaning of the embargo and n com
mittee will be appointed to determine
which sictlons of the embargo art! unrea
sonable, in Its opinion.
MANUtACTUItEItS IN DILCMMA.
Ilopresentntlvcs will probably be sent to
Washington to confer with the Federal
Authorities.
"Wo do not know whero we stand,"
said A. C. BIgelow, of Swift & Co , pres
ident of the association. "The embargo
lias proved ory cmbnrrasslng to tho
city's manufacturers. Many orders have
been held up nnd It Is Impossible to tell
exactly where shipments will be paused
by tho Inspectors."
W. H. Folwell, of Folwell Brothers &
Co , said his company had received no
hhlpments from the West recently, but
that combed wool, or "tops," had been
received from New England without
hindrance
"The finished products In the wool ln
dustiy cannot communicate tho foot and
mouth dlbcnse," said Mr. Folwell. "After
they are boiled, dyed and tho various
processes aro completed there Is little
likelihood of a germ living In tho prod
uct." The embargo of ten months placed by
-tlie Canadian Government on Pennsyl
vania wool will affect Philadelphia's out
put markedly If tho finished product Is
included in the quarantine. Discussing
tho Canadlnn embargo, a member of tho
Wool and Textile Association jsald that
Canada is "cutting Its own throat," ns
that Government cannot continue Its
woolen business successfully without tho
American wool supply.
EPIDEMIC UNDER CONTROL.
With tho exception of a slight out
break of the foot and mouth disease
among a few hogs In the "West Phila
delphia stockyards, the situation 13 un
der tho control of tho Federal authori
ties', it was announced nt tho Bureau
of Animal Industry this morning. The
hogs were destroyed,
News of the most serious outbreak In
lecent days was received today, when
it wns reported that a herd of cattlo and
n drove of hogs near Glcnmoro, Ches
ter County, wore Infected. Dr. C. A.
Behnufler, chief of the bureau, left for
that place today to examine- tho in

PROSPECTIVE BENEDICT HAS
SEVERAL REASONS FOR JOY
Hecktlo Salesman on Way to Bride,
Coast and $6000.
Sol Blow, a former Philadelphia Guil
tless man, passed through Philadelphia,
today on the road to matrlmory, San
Francisco and $3000. He Is to bo married
Sunday In Now York to Miss Adelo KIrsh,
134 West S6th street, after which he will
start directly for San Francisco and
when ho arrives Uioio li will draw on
Morris nnd Charles Mayers, of New York,
for $3000, nnd, according to Blaw, they will
honor tho draft.
The money? Blaw sns was wngcred by
the Mayers brothers In November, 1912.
They bet Blow ho could not start out with
only the clothes on his back and n gross
of neckties and reach San Frnnclsca by
tho time tho Panama-Pacific Exposition
opens, riding nil tho wnv on Pullman
trains and dealing only in neckties bought
with the proceeds of thn first gross.
Blaw not only succeeded In doing this,
but did It far ahead of time. When lie
reached Denver a week ago, ho snvs, ho
counted up his bank balance and found
he had enough money to return to New
York on Pullmans get married and go

MINERS RESCDED
FROM LIVING TOMB
AFTER 70 HOURS
Heroic Work of Comrades
Rewarded and Men
Brought to Surface Amid
Scenes of Hysterical Joy.
POTTS VILLD, Pa., Nov. 12.-Attcr be
ing entombed for more than TO hours In
the workings of tho Brookstdc colliery, at
Tower City, Wllllnm Schrclnor, aged 40
years, and William Evans, aged J3 years,
were today rescued alive when they had
given up all hope of ever seeing daylight
again, and when tho exhausted rescue
force themselves expected to llnd only
their bodies.
While working at "robbing pillars"
about 10 o'clock last Monday morning,
there was a sudden rush of coal and de
bris which entirely closed up tho gang
way. Several hours later, when the men
could not be accounted for, an Investiga
tion was made and it was found they
were entombed.
Mnny volunteers pleaded to be placed
on the rescue force and relays were kept
steadily at work.
This morning about 4 o'clock tho men
were renched bohlnd a heavy "fall"
alive, but weak from their terrible ordeal.
For the last hour that tho rescuers tun
neled through hundreds of tons of looso
"stuff," exceedingly dangerous work,
carefully timbering na they progressed,
they were cheered by "rnpplngs" behind
tho barrier which they attacked, time
nnd again, with feverish haste, directed
by the best engineering skill of the Bead
ing Coal and Iron Company.
Schrelncr Insisted upon walking home,
but his companion was too weak and
gladly took advantage of tho colliery
ambulance. Evans, whose condition Is
the most serious. Is In no Immediate
danger. Physicians say both men will
be ready for work again by next week.
At tlu mouth of the shaft as the en
tombed men came to the surface there
was hysterical Joy manifested by rela
tlvee of tho men, who hours before had
given them up for dead.
D0BS0N WEAVERS IN FALLS
MILLS REMAIN AT LOOMS
Fall to Quit Work in Sympathy With
Germnntown Strikers.
Blanket weavers at tho Falls of Schuyl
kill mills of John and James Dobson did
not go on strike today as predicted by
leaders of 300 weavers who quit work at
the Bradford mills and the branch mill
at Armat and Lena streets, Oermantown.
A street meeting, addressed by an I. W.
W. worker, at the gates of the Falls mill
last night was broken up by the police
before a crowd gathered.
According to strikers, the weavers in
the Falls mills are working under con
ditions more favorable than those, in the
Germantown mills. The looms nt,the FallH
mills are regular blanket looms. The
blankets can bo woven more rapidly and
with greater case on these looms than
on the cloth looms in the other mills, it
is said.
The strikers announced they will not
adulate with any union during the strike.
They will, however, be instructed and
protected by a union, the name of which
was not made public.

VILLA WARNED TO CEASE

Commander of Mexico City Garrison
Gives Notice of Armed Resistance.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 12 General Al
varo Obregon, commandor of the Mexico
City garrison, sent a shnrp note to Gcn
crnl Villi todny. In which ho said:
"You are warned thnt our failure to
resign will cause an outbreak of hostili
ties on a big scale Uitoughout Mexico
You must censo jour mnich against
Mexico City nt onco or the lcsult will
be widespread suffering for the Mexican
people."
To each of General Villa's division
commanders General Obregon sent the
following message:
"I'nless jou can persuade General
Villa to cease his advance southwnrd
anarchy and posslbl Intervention will
follow. If General Villa docs not glvo
a fnvorablo reply to my message to
him, I will be ready tomorrow to take
the offensive against him "
The city got a scaro jesterday after
noon when SO YnquI Indians marched to
the barracks nc.tr the national palace
nnd ordoicd the sentries to shout "Vive
Vllln." When tho sentinels refused the
Yaquls opened lire. Tho Indians were
captured arid 26 of them executed.
John It Sllliman, the personal repre
sentative of President Wilson, called upon
Minister of War Pesqulcra for a confer
ence relative to what guarantees would
be given In case tho cnpltnl Is invaded by
followers of Villa and Zapata.
General Pesqulcra assured Mr Sllliman
that tho cltv Is amply garrisoned, both
General Obregon and General Blanco be
ing hero In person with 23.000 men, while
General Alvnrdo commands a detnehment
of 130 machine guns nnd a largo artillery
force.
Tho following telegram has been sent by
General Carrnnzi from Cordova to Luis
G. Cabnllcro, Governor of Tnmplco:
"Gencrnl Frederick Funston hns com
municated to Goncml Agullar, commander
of the Federal forces In Vcr Cruz, that
the American War Ofllce In "Washlngtoi
has decided to evacuate Vera Cruz. Noun
paper oxtias were printed and distributed
In the streets "
Another report wns In circulation that
tho United States troops In Ve a Cruz
would leavo on Sunday.
Although no ofllclal announcement wns
mnde on the subject, It Is believed thnt
General Carranza has furnished the
United States Government with guaran
tees for the protection of all Mexicans In
Vera Cruz If the American troops are
withdrawn.
WASHINGTON ABANDONS
HOPE OF EARLY PEACE
Conditions In Mexico Cause Change in
Purpose to Evacuate Vera Cruz.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Practically
all hope of Immediate peace In Mexico
wns abandoned today by Administration
officials. Unofficial reports of nn open
declaration of war by the Vllllstas against
Carranza's faction of tho Constitutional
ists forced upon this Government anothei
period of "watchful waiting."
Thought of early American evncuatlon
of Vera Cruz was also abandoned today,
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
awaited advices from United States
agents in Mexico before tnklng nny de
cisive step in the Mexican outbrenk. In
all official quarters, however, sentiment
was expressed that evacuation of Vera
Cruz would be Impossible until the Issue
of the new warfnre Is settled and some
new rovlslonal president definitely estab
Unhid. Ite-establlshment of the embargo
against shipment of munitions to either
faction In Mexico was thought likely to
day. The Administration, however, still had
hopes that further negotiations would en
sue to shorten the conflict.
It was the general belief that the new
hostilities would not last long
Ofllclal information regarding the
strength of Villa's and Carranza's forces
conflicts with big- estimates given out
from the rival camps. Villa is said to
have about 35,000 trained fighting men,
the "cream" of the warring factions.
Zapata, his ally, is understood to have
about 10.000.
Carranza's forces are estimated to
equal, If not slightly surpass numerically,
those of the Vllllstas, but they are scat
tered, while Villa's army la strongly
mobilized.

"lUNG OF
"JEFF" DAVIS
He is the president of the Hoboes' Union and is attending the meetings of
the American Federation of Labor delegates.
"KING OF HOBOES"
SAGE AND LEADER
. OF GREAT ARMY
Jeff Davis Philosophizes on
His Class, Draws Distinc
tions and Reveals Import
ant Mission.
"Jeff" Davis, King of Hoboes nnd presi
dent of the International Itinerant Work
ers' Union, Hoboes of America, an or
ganization which has 46 "tanks" In Amer
ica and which has administered tho hobo
oath to more than 400,OM "ginks," ad
dressed the convention of tho American
Tederatlon of Lnbor yesterday.
"Jeff" Is In every sense of the word a
"king," only he Is a democratic king. If
no one will speak to tho contrary and say
that "there ain't no such nnlmnl." The
reason why they cnll him "King of Ho
boes" Is because "Jeff" has got them all
"beat" In size of the particular portion
of mother earth over which he has "hit
the grit," "banged the stretch" and
"straddled the rattlers," which In human
language means, wnlked over the railroad
ties, traversed the roads and rodo In box
enrs. Jeff has covered the world twice
and met nearly every prominent labor
leader along tho way Ho took two tours
over Europe and Africa and mnde three
tours nround the United States, covering
a distance of more than SCO 000 miles since
he was 13 years old. He is now 2) years
old.
"Jeff" is well known throughout the
organized labor movement in America.
Npt excluding Samuel Gompers, every
leader In the American Federation of
Labor Is proud to call himself "Jeff's
friend. That Is entirely due to the fact,
"Jeff" says, because part of the hoboes'
oath Is nevei to "scab" or serve as a
strike-breaker against organized labor.
"Jeff" assured the convention today that
the hoboes keep their oath.
HOBO AND TnAMP DIFFER.
"The only difference between a home
guard and a hobo," said Mr. Jeff. "Is that
one knows what It is to flop out under
trees and live on 'coffee an' and the other
soon finds out. Conditions today have
been Improved much to the credit of tho
hobo. For he Is an Independent gink. He
don't stick around the town, waiting for
them to serve soup, but glums a rattler
or any old thing that will take him to
a -town more prosperous. A hobo is a

THE HOBOES"
gink who believes In opportunities, which
sometimes come to him, but moro often,
docs he have to glum a rattler and go
after It. Dictionaries, books and re
formers have all given the public a wrong
Impression of tho hobo. Hobos will work,
If given tho opportunity. Tho tramp
doesn't "
Hero Jeff was asked to explain tho
subtle distinction between a "tramp" and
a "hobo." Jeff replied:
"A tramp Is a mutt who believes tho
world owes him a living Instead of nn
opportunity nnd beats It around at tho
expense of society. Ho soon stumbles on
the rond of life and becomes what Is
known ns a bum. A hobo's philosophy Is
that tho world owes him nn opportunity
Instead of a living. A hobo Is more
philosophic Ho beliovos In society. A
trnmp does not consider himself a part
of society, despises society and would do
nnv thing ngalrtst"bociety.
"Many folks refer to tho hobo ns a
bum, especially wel-known writers. That
Is why the hoboes orgnnlze In order to
foice recognition of their real position In
society. A bum Is a poor bloko w lint's
on the ash dump of society. Ho couldn't
work If ho wanted to. He Is either a
victim of drink, dope, disease or has been
a trnmp or a criminal in his young days.
GBCAT AltMV OF TRAVELERS.
"There is no hope for the bum. There
are In the United States of America about
B00.000 bums. Thcro aro 700,000 tramps. Of
hoboB there are 2,000,000. They are casual,
migratory, off-and-on workers. This Is
why thcro was a split In the hobos' or
ganization four years ago at New Orleans.
The millionaire hobo, J. Eads How, was
bound to mix tho three together, notwith
standing the hoboes' resenment. Hoboes
prefer to choose their company. During
the last five years tho conventions held
by the Hoboes of America havo been dis
tinct from outside Interference on the
part of anarchists or I. W. W. men, the
hoboes claiming that they had a hard
enough time keeping out of jail Instead
of breaking Into It."'

ALJV1A GLUCK TRIUMPHS
IN ACADEMY RECITAL
An Exceptional Evening of Beauti
fully Sustained Song.
WliPti Alma Gluck was heard here a few
weeks ago with the Philadelphia Orches
tra It wns evident that her voice, on the
Friday afternoon which was the basis of
tho critical reviews, wni not nt Us best.
As If to corroborate thn judgment she
sang last night nt the Academy of Music
In a recital of her own Sho sang In such
a manner, with such easy and beautiful
perfection, that tho memory of her previ
ous singing faded forever. In some 25
songs sho never once faltered, never once
descended from tho pure nnd high level
of complete artistic expression It wni a
wonderful evening
It is to bo hoped that Mme Gluck will
never return to opera On the concert
tngc evcr vlrtre of her voice appears,
without the meretricious trappings of
strained colnrntuia, or of bahlle drama
which opera mlpfit demand of her. Even
her loner tones nip not drnmntlc, sho Is
purely emotlonnl In her expression For
tho concert stage she hns ft beautiful ap
pearance, n cortnlu graceful dignity of
expressive gesture, nnd a heaven-sent
voice And It Is onlj to bo hopntl thnt she
will come again nnd again to Philadelphia
this winter, nnd npct spiing, nnd as loug
nfter that ns she cares tn sing.
The pndowment which Mme. Gluck hns
Is a vocal Instrument tiejond criticism.
But wherever did she lentn In her com
paratively brier ears to use It with
the superb righteousness such an In
strument demands? Tlino aie not, pcr
linps. three other signers of whom It
can be snld that ot a given moment their
voice ceases to bo prddtired and seems
to float without effort, without labor, is
disembodied and becomes essentially
pure Gcraldlne Fnrrar learned this fiom
L1III Lrhmann, wo know. Mme. Gluck
rllhor lenrned It bj a miracle or has
had teachers of wonderful abllltv
In tho whole course of the evening her
phrasing was never nt fault, her cadences
were flexible, cnsllv sustained, her
"blessed legato," which great singers nc
qulro nt tho nge of -10 or SO, had a loveli
ness which moved her hearers to tho
perilous brink of tears. Schumann's "Dor
Nussbaum" wns perfectly sung and tho
accompaniment, as tluoughout the eve
ning, wns sensitive done The songs
In tho third part of tho program wore
perhaps tho richest In emotion They
wore Russian nnd Bohemian folk songs,
sung with nn instinct for the folic, which
becomes moro and more rare ns singers
develop In nrt and leave tho people be
hind. The folk songs of Little Russia,
composed by Efrcm Zlmballst, the sing
er's husband, wns a double triumph. The
melodious first song, followed by a char
acteristic dnncc motif, showed Mr. Zlm
'onllst ns a composer In even a happier
light than his own orfcilngs of like ma
terial last week. The Ilnal group of
songs was by American composers nnd
Included Homer's "Way Down South"
and Cadmnn's "From the Land of the
Sky-Bluo Water." Repeated calls for
encores were graciously granted, but
when Mme Gluok sang tho "Chant
Hlndou," of Rimsky-Korsnkow, It was
too line to ask for more.
MR. BISPHAM'S RECITAL.
David Blspham's genial personality, his
cheerful interest In a wide variety of
subjects nnd his excellent dramatic senso
were tho chief features of tho recital
which ho gave Inst night at AVitherspoon
Hall. Mr. Blspham no longer depends
upon his voice, but when his voice Is
demanded he can use it with force nnd
vigor and precision. Thnt ho proved last
night In his rendition of the "Song of
tho Stonebreakcr," to which Richard
Strauss has written tho music. Nothing
moro dramatic, more bitter and Intense
Is known In modern song, nnd Mr. Bls
pham gave It nil Its qualities. On tho
other hand, his singing of Mozart's "Non
plu nndral" arln from the "Marriage of
Figaro" wns not so well done, because
tho merrlncss and truculcnco of the song
demanded a very powerful voice, which
Mr Blspham could not give to It.
After tho group of songs by Europeans
Mr. Blsphum sang an Interesting group
b Americans The prologuo from Had
lej's "Atonement of Pan" was one ot
this group, excellently sung, and Dam
rosch'B "Danny Deevcr," a song-rcclta-tlon
In Mr. Blspham's choicest manner,
was another Finally Mr. Blspham re
