KEADVF0R MEXICAN DASH x
TO CATCH VILLA'S OUTLAWS
fOM-'MHUS. '. M., March 13.
Final orders for the Villa hunt were
In General Kunston'a hands today. Word
wan momentarily expected of the Ameri
can march Into Mexico. Telegraph wires
hummed with tho details of the punitive
expedition.
A few isolated American troops already
hae touched Mexican soil. It is thought,
hut army olllrer8 believe the start of the
main expedition urder General Pershing
from Columbus will not occur before to
morrow. General Pershing was due to
arrive at Columbus' this afternoon from
131 Paso.
15.000 TitOOPS NOW ItBADY.
Border reports that Cnrranza forces
were mobilizing and threatening arn ed
teslstanue to the American expedition
were declared by ofllclala to be somewhat
exaggerated. While not assured that Car
ranza's troops would co-operate In the
Villa hunt. It was confidently believed they
would not be ordered to oppose the United
States troopers.
Tho United States forces may finally
be much larger than originally planned.
It was hinted today. The three expeditions
tentatively agreed on. It Is said, from Co
lumbus, El Paso nnd Douglas or Hachita,
may be swelled to 1S.0Q0 men.
It was believed certain th.e main, expe
dition would drive south from Columbus,
headed by Pershing, This Is the most dl
rect route as the crow files and over a
splendid trail. Six miles opposite, at Las
Palomas, 1500 Carranza troops were re
ported waiting whether to Join or oppose
the Americans was not known.
Carranza, troops 'were today showing
more activity In northern Mexico and near
the border than for months past.
A concentration of Carranzlstas was
taking place at Nacozarl, 75 miles south
of Douglas. Information received from
Chihuahua City was that a detachment
of 500 cavalrymen had left for the Casas
Grander and Galeqni. districts' to protect
American Mormon colonists and attempt
to cut Villa's flight in that direction.
General Canuto Reyes and 3500 men,
accoidlng to another report were said to
be In the Torreon region endeavoring tq
Join forces with Vlllai Reyes has under
him a good part of the former Vlllista
troops, who cut their way through the
Carranza ynes and inarched almost up to
the gates of Mexico City during the
height pf the Vlllista rebellion against
Carranza'8 rule,
Rodolfo Flerrero, Villa's butcher, sev
eral ttmea reported killed. Is now reported
to be a member of Reyes' column.
No direct news has come from the 500
men, women and children I,-, the Mormon
colonies since Sunday OIHclals of the
Church In Kl Paso state today that the
absence of reports from them Indicated
no disaster had overtaken the colonists.
Brigadier General John J. Pershing has
left Kl Paao and taken command at a
point on the herder of the troops which
he will lead in pursuit of Francisco Villa
and his bandit raiders
from all parts of the country troops
continue to mats toward the International

GERMANT0WN APPEAL
FOR SALOON CLOSINGS
REJECTED BY C0UT
Remonstrances Carry No
Weight Because They Make
No Specific Charges,'
Say Judges
PUT IN WASTE BASKET
Tho principle of "local option." tho ef
ficacy of protests from a neighborhood
against continuing saloons In business, re
ceived a second rot-back today. Judges
Darratt and Davis In tho J.lcenio Court
refused to hear remonstrances collected
by the No-License League of Gcminntown
In nn effort to rid tho 22d Ward of
saloons on the ground they were "not nec
essary." Tho court's refusal was based on the
statement that tbcro was no Jurisdiction,
and that unless specific remonstrances al
leging a violation of tho law on tho pait
of saloon owners was presented to tho
court. It had not tho power to refuso to
renew the license.
Walter L. Sheppaid, attorney for the
3770 residents of Gormnntown who had
signed remonstrances ngalnst 5 of tho
saloons there, argueil for an hour against
City Solicitor Connelly nnd M. J. Mc
Knery. who represented the saloon proprie
tors. In behalf of the signers' right to
have the remonstrances heard. The argu
ments and Mr Sheppard's explanations
to the Judges were warm at times. After
the court declined to hear the remon
strances, Mr Sheppard asked for tho fil
ing of a memorandum setting forth the
reasons for the refusal, so that the case
could be appealed to the Superior Court.
This was also contested.
The Gennantown league had been work
ing for more than a month In the belief
that a great remonstrance against re.
licensing the saloons there would carry
weight with the court. Their situation to
day was similar to that of residents of
West Philadelphia, whose so-called "local
