The puropse of the run was to furnish
entertainment to the ad men, as well as
to demonstrate to the guests from other
cities the quality of the roads which lead
to and from Philadelphia. The undertak
ing was looked upon by owners of first
class passenger cars as the entering wedge
for a permanent passenger service with the
automobile and the prize plan In the na
ture of a Bubsldy,
Because the number of free seats was
limited, many guests expressed a desire
to pay for their accomodations rather than
take a chance on being disappointed.
The run was conducted In this way;
The Mayors of Philadelphia. Atlantic
Ctty and Camden, selected -a certain time
within legal speed limits in which they
guessed the run might be accomplished.
They wrote this time on a slip of paper and
aealed it immediately in envelopes.

AD MEN TO PREPARE
BIG "MOBILIZATION"
CAMPAIGN FOR U. S.
Advertising Planned to Cover
Entire Country for Quick Re
- suits in Any Future
Emergency
EXECUTIVE BOARD ACTS
The Executive Committee of the Asso
ciated Advertising; Clubs, at its post-convention
meeting at tho Belle'ue-Stratford
Hotel today, authorized President Herbert
S. Houston to appoint a committee repre
senting the various branches of the asso
ciation to prepare a great advertising cam
paign for the United States Government,
for use at any time In tho future when the
Government may have need for the quick
mobilization of the country.
The campaign will be prepared as the
direct result of the invitation of the Gov
ernment, following consultations held be
tween otllcials and Mr. Houston.
Tho details of the plan Include the co
operation of all mediums throughout the
country, The smallest centres of popula
tion will be reached by the association. A
signal will set the whole machinery In
action and direct the mobilization move
ment. Since the Associated Advertising Clubs,
through Its Committee on Industrial Pre
paredness, headed by Lafayette Young. Jr.,
of Des Moines, as chairman, prepared and
placed a very extensive advertising cam
paign In the newspapers and magazines of
the country as a means for promoting the
work of the 30,000 engineers who volun
tarily made a survey of the Industries of
the country for the Government, Washing
ton has become greatly Interested In adver
tising as a means for reaching the people
quickly and gaining their co-operation,
Howard Coffin, chairman of the En
gineers' Committee, said recently that their
work could not have succeeded without the
help of this committee and of the news
papers, magazines, poster plants and others
who aided In familiarizing the people of the
country with tho movement. ,
The advertising space for that campaign
was donated. The campaign to be prepared
would be one for the Government to use In
pald-for space.
The committee to make the proposed plan
will Include one man from each of the 14
departmentals of the Associated Advertising
Clubs, so that every kind of advertising me
dium ilid advertising Interest will be repre
sented. At the meeting this morning Mr. Young
tod briefly of the patriotism of the pub
lications of the country which had prompted
tbem to give large spaces to the prepared
ness campaign and spoke of a poster which
the Foster Advertising Association had
Louis Fancher prepare, and which was
displayed In every city of the country hay
ing Industrial plants. In addition to leading
magazines, 250 dally papers used the
"copy," and It was placed by the Western
Newspaper Union, and the American Press
Association In 2500 weekly papers.
A committee was appointed yesterday to
co-operate with the association's Commit
tee on Itetall Coat Accounting Systems In
devising a. plan to obtain the adoption of
the accounting plans by the retailers of
the country. O. C. Ham, National Lead
Company, New York, Is chairman, and the
other members are Frank A, Black, 'adver
tising manager William Fllene's Sons Com
pany, Boston, and John Clyde Oswald, pub
lisher of the American Printer, New York.
It is proposed during the year to help
all manufacturers and jobbers of the coun
try by helping to makp the retailer a more
efficient business man. The "business death
rate" (the number of business failures)
Is increasing each year alarmingly, and
those, who have studied the situation be
lieve this is because the average retail
merchant does not have the "figure facts"
pertaining to his business that are neces
sary to success,
Plans were also approved, for the ex
tension of the. 'retail educating work of
Frank etpekdale, the association lecturer,
who will hold "business short courses" for
the enlightenment of merchants in (he
smaller cities of the country.
A pta was approved for the publication
of u. Joyrnal on retail advertising, under
thai direction of the retail department of
the association.

"SEVEN SISTERS" ISSUE
SOLDIERS WILL STOP HERE
TONIGHT ON RUN SOUTH
Continued from l.,ze One
It was signed by Assistant Secretary of
War Simpson.
It was hailed with delight. The troops,
especially the engineers, have been challng
under tho delay, and even the olllclal in
formation given to correspondents In re
gard to the time of proposed departure ot
the troop trains was changed time and time
again.
"Mexico City or bust." "On to El Paso,"
such were the cries raised amid the waving
of hats and deafening cheers as Companies
A and B of Engineers left hero last night,
the first Pennsylvania troops to. be Bent
to the border.
The departure, which was made after a
delay of nearly four days, was accompa
nied by scenes of mingled enthusiasm and
tense emotion. While the troops were
Jubilant, proud of being tho flret Pennsyl
vanians called to tho front, they missed,
undoubtedly, the send-off they had looked
forward to In Philadelphia.
No wives, mothers or sweethearts were
on hand to wish them good-by. But they
were given a royal send-off by the small
crowd at the station. Any enthusiasm that
might be lacking in the crowd was made
up by the spirit of the men.
Cheers, yells and songs Intermingled In
the cool night air and tha voices of tnu
parting soldiers could be heard for .some
time after the rear lights of the heavy troop
train had faded dimly In the distance. They
were off at last.
The tr:p to El Paso, it Is expected, will
take at least four days. The War Depart
ment has -Issued orders that trains carry
ing troops to the border shall at no time
exceed a speed of 35 miles an hour. The
engineers probably will reach Cincinnati
about 6 o'clock tonight. The distance to
El Paso Is figured at approximately 2000
miles, that Is, according to the route taken
by the troops.
The 2d Regiment, which will be tho first
ot the 1st Brigade to go, is the senior
regiment in the division. It has the re
quired strength In men, and officers think
It only fitting that It be chosen first among
the Infontry. The 2d has been ready for
some time ; It also made the finest show
In the physical examination.
According to tho War Department order,
the 1st Regiment will leave within an hour
after the departure of the 2d, which Is
scheduled for noon today. The 3d Itegl
ment, also from Philadelphia. Is being whip
ped Into Bhape and the men have every
hope of pulling out today. There have been
so many delays and postponements, how
ever, that the men are Inclined to be
skeptical.
The route of the Engineers to the border
Is given out by Major General Clement as
follows; Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad
to Lebanon, Philadelphia and Beading to
Wayne Junction, Baltimore and Ohio to
JUh and Chestnut streeta. station, and af
ter a short stop, to St. Louts. Frisco to
Dallas and Texas and Pacific to El Paso.
Major Oeneral Clement "saw the boys
off." Carrying an oil lantern Jn a demo
cratic way that caused no one not familiar
with the encampment to suppose that he
was the Commanding General, he aaw to.
It that all the final stores were loaded on
the cars and then quietly loft 20 minutes
before the train pulled out. He was ac
companied by Major S. W, Hhoads, acting
assistant Chief of Staff; Major Walter q.
Stirling, commander of trains, and Major
M. H. Taggart, Inspector,
The 2d Regiment of Philadelphia, Colonel
Turner commanding, began entraining in
two sections immediately after rollcall
and mustering at 6 o'clock this morning.
The regiment will pass through Philadel
phia, according to the route prepared.
Leaving Colebrook on the Cornwall and
Lebanon Railroad, the two troop trains will
switch to the Philadelphia and Reading at
Lebanon and will transfer to thji Baltimore
and Ohio tracks at Wayne Junction. A
short stop to change locomotives will be
made at the 34th and Chestnut streets
station.
Thence the route will be via the Balti
more and Ohio to Louisville, over the Illi
nois Centra) to Memphis, thence over the
St- Louis and Southwestern to Fort Worth,
and thence to El Paso. The first section
conJsts of one flat car, four box cars, two
sleepers, one baggage car and eight coaches.
The second, of one box car. one sleeper,
one baggage car and 17 coaches.
The fleld hospital, under Major Kelser,
and Ambulance Company No. S, under
Captain MoOlnnls. both ot Philadelphia,
and the battalion of sigpaj troops of
Pittsburgh, left In one section at Mount

lh IM3r,V81 WSfMB. t 8t JU'4,,
from thore their route Is over the Mis
souri Pacific to KonRas City and thence
southward over the Santo Fe to El Pnso.
News of tho sudden order to rush the
Philadelphia troops to the border descended
llko a thunderbolt on the camp last night.
It was a few minutes before 9 o'clock
when the- long-lookcd-for telegram, signed
by A'sslstnnt Secretnry of War Simpson,
was handed to Captain J. B. Kemper,
United States mustering officer at Mount
Gretna. The magnitude of the communl-
cation was npparent Instantly, likewise its
eireci.
Within two minutes Major General Clem
ent had been notified at division headquar
ters and Captain Kemper was seen speeding
In a high-powered motorcar to Instant ac
tion. Tho machine virtually "eat up" the
distance between tho quartermaster's di
vision and headquarters and, almost before
the dust of tho modern juggernaut had
subsided, Major General Clement and Cap
tain Kemper were whirled away to notify
the commanding ofllcers of tho troops sched
uled to muster.
Tho effect at the engineers' camp was
electrical. Company B, from Philadelphia.
had prepared to upend another night In the
train alongside their encampment, while
Company A, from Scranton. had pitched
dog tents once more and the men were
about to end their day of "watchful wait
ing" with another sleep on old Mount Gretna
Camp sod.
Tho War Department's order touched the
Bmnll camp like a magician's wand. The
muster order wns given. Instantly tho
tents began to disappear, final belongings
were collected ; and before many minutes
had elapsed, preparations for the final en
trapment virtually were completed. Little
time was needed ns the men had been sleep
ing "on their arms" for more than 70
hours.
Major General Clement visited the en
gineers' camp before their departure. He
announced the schedules of the other troops
from Philadelphia, which will follow tomor
row. Attention also was called to tho fact
that Company B of the Engineers Is the
highest-rated engineering company In the
United States. Major General Clement
aroused the men to a high pitch of en
thusiasm At the encampments of the 2d,
lBt and 3d Regiments, the effect of the
news was by far more stupendous. Tho
men received the announcement of their
coming departure with almost feverish ex
citement, Many found It hard to believe
that they were about to leave at last.
Preparations for departure were started
almost immediately. Orders were given
with automatic precision and dawn found
the camp almost "stripped for action."
There was little rest during the night
at division headquarters. Starting wjth
the first announcement of Assistant Secre
tary Simpson's order, automobiles, large
and small, chugged their way along the
roads to headquarters one after another In
a lengthy procession. With their main
lights flashing across the hills and mounting
Bkyward they resembled a fleet of battle
ships sending mysterious messages across
the heavens with their powerful search
lights. Major General Clement gave orders so
that messages could be brought to him at
any hour of the night. All at headquarters
were on the qui v(ve.
Among the troops from Pittsburgh and
other points of the State the usual camp
routine was maintained. There was little
excitement after taps was sounded; they
slumbered, wishing, no doubt, that their turn
would come soon.

Judgo McPherson, of tho United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, today, In nn opin
ion, rofused to Interfere with the plnn of
the Bethlehem Steel Company to purchase
tho assets of tho Pennsylvania Stoel Com
pany of Now Jersey nnd Its subsidiaries.
The decision of Judgo McPherson was
given on the appeal of Clarence II, Vcnncr,
of Now York, from tho refusal of Judgo
Rcllstab, of the District Court of New Jer
sey, to Issue a preliminary Injunction to re
strain tho consummation of tho deal. Judge
Rcllstab, however, directed the Steel Com
pany to deposit $10,000 In court to protect
Vennor against any posslblo loss through
the transaction. Tho opinion affirms Judge
Reltstab's refusal to Issue tho preliminary
Injunction,
Vcnner attacked the contemplated sale of
tho Pennsylvania Steel Company's nssets to
the Bethlehem Company on tho ground that
It violated the Federal anti-trust law and
tho statutes of New Jersey, colloquially
known ns "Tho Seven SlBters" law.
'This position," says Judge McPherson,
"has rccehed our careful consideration, but
we nro decidedly of opinion that on tho
present record which consists mainly of
cx-parto affidavits tho plnlntlft's charges
cannot be safely determined. A court
should have facts before It, satisfactorily
proved In accordance with the usual well
tested rules, beforo deciding questions of
such gravity as wero presented on the
argument ; and, of course, as the tlmo for
taking evidence has hot yet arrived, these
questions must for the present be left un
determined." Tho proposal of tho Betlehem Company
was to pa $31,941,630 In Its own 6 per
cent. 20-year gold bonds, secured by a
mortgage on tho property conveyed, for tho
assets of tho Pennsylvania Steel Company
of New Jersey and Its allied companies.
Vcnner, who owns 24 shares of the com
mon stock of the Pennsylvania Company,
protested that tho proposal violated the
New Jersey statutes, which requires that
part of the price be paid In cash.
The Bethlehem Company denied that no
cash Is to be paid, and pointed out that It
agreed to pay off certain of the Pennsyl
vania Company's current obligations, and
insisting that this Is tho plain equivalent
of cash,
"Here also," says Judge McPhorson, "we
ought to know the precise facts before de
ciding, and these can hardly be ascertained
until tho liquidating trustees' of the de
fendant (the Pennsylvania Company) havo
finally agreed on all the details of the
sale."
In his opinion Judge McPherson points
out that 80 per cent, of the preferred stock
of the Pennsylvania Company and 90 per
cent, of the common stock voted In favor
of the proposal, Attention Is also directed
to the fact that Venner bought his shares
11 days after the stockholders of the com
pany had been notified that a meeting
would be held on May 4 last to consider
tho plan suggested by the Bethlehem Com
pany. Among the dissentients, besides Venner,
was Joseph H. Brandt, owner of 139 shares
of preferred stock, who was the original
plaintiff In the proceeding.
Speaking of the action of Venner In at
tempting to block the proposed sale. Judge
McPherson says:
"And It Is evident nlso that the present
plaintiff, who Is apparently not without ex
perience In litigation, cannot expect us to
regard him as having undertaken a public
duty."
Nevertheless, declared Judge McPherson,
Venner Is entitled to his legal rights,- but
as the facts are not before the court upon
which there could be a determination of the
contentions of Venner that the proposed
plan was unlawful from the beginning,
these questions, for the present, are left un
determined, i
The only rfuestlon decided was whether
the lower court abused Its discretion in
refusing a preliminary Injunction and
ordering the protective deposit of 510,000,
"The objection can hardly be directed
against the deposit as such, for Instead of
attacking that feature of the order the
plaintiff should rather commend It," says
Judge McPherson,
The Pennsylvania Steel Company of New
Jersey Is the holding company of the Mary
land Steel Company, having Its plant at
Sparrows Point, Md.; the Pennsylvania Steel
Company of Pennsylvania, with plants In
Hteelton and Lebanon, and of several other

"Besides, the American Government was

nnd It now appears Irrelevant or out of
place to bring theso facta forward so as to
make n base for an unjustified hcgallve to
withdraw the American troops from our

"It Is not true that the Mexican Govern
ment or Its authorities has protected or
covered the criminals who nro claimed to
havo committed the depredations and
crimes In torrltory of the United States.
This can never bo proved by tho American
Government.
'The Constitutionalist Government hna
done all In Its power and has gone beyond
all efforts to prctect the foreigners, who.are
to be blamed to 6. great extent for persist
ing In remaining In placos where conditions
were not normal, although Its own Govern'
ment on turlous occasions has asked them
not to remain there.

State of Chihuahua, advised him of the
danger and risk thnt ho nnd his fellow
companions were running In traveling
through a dangerous region. Watson did
not want to wait until an escort could bo
furnished for their train, nnd as he wns a
man very Impulsive nnd always desiring
to Impose his authority nnd possessing a
very bad temper, his own temperament
cnrrled htm to his doom, together with tho
rest of his companions,
"Theso facts aro well known In El Paso,
and In nil that region It la a fact that the
American military authorities and tho snme
American Government could not deny that
General Gnvlrn from the sixth day of
March notified them that ho had been ad
vised that Villa, leading a band of maraud
ers, was on his way to tho frontier, going
through Palomas.
"This nottco, given In amplo time, should
have prepared tho American authorities for
tho Incoming danger on account of the pres
onco of Villa at Palomas nnd Columbus.
"Tho American authorities nlso know
what wero the hostile Intentions of Villa
against tho United States.
"Tho Constitutionalist Government, from
the moment It heard of the Villa movement
and right after tho attack of theso ban
dits on Columbus, ordered that 1C0O men,
under tho command of Oe'nornl Luis
Gutierrez, should march at full speed to
tho northern region of tho Stato of Chi
huahua to pursuo the bandits, who, after
having committed outlaw acts In a foreign
territory, woro returning to their own
country.
"It is of public domain that persecution
of Villa was Immediately Btartcd and that
the marauder bands were soon scattered.
"It Is a gratuitous Imputation of tho
Amerlcnn Government that tho, Constitu

theBe Incursions or to punish, them for their
crimes.
"It Is an established fact that tho Inci
dent at Parral was precipitated by the Im
prudent act ot tho American commander,

equipment belonging to the American pris
oners arriving at Juarez from Chihuahua
yesterday will bo turned over to the Amer
ican authorities today, according to the
promise of General Gonzales to General
Boll, reported to tho War Department today.
,Thls Is expected to close the Carrlzal
Incident. However, tho return of the negro
troopers, their reception by large crowds
and their stories of Carranzista soldiers
killing the American wounded and robbing
the enptured still were tho popular topics.
That he passed several wounded and later
saw them dead with fresh bullot wounds In
tholr bodies was the statement of Trooper
Archie Jones, supported by William Gibson
and Luther Alexander, who also reported
being robbed of several hundrVd dollars ot
their army savings and Jewelry. Alexander,
wounded In the shoulder, declared he did not
receive prompt or proper medical attention.
In the transfer of the prisoners on the
Santa Fe street international bridge to Gen
eral Bell, the return ot another CurrUal
hero was almost entirely overlooked by
El Pasoans.
General Funston forwarded to the War
Department two roports received from Gen
eral Bell a( El Paso, telling of receiving the
2J members pf the 10th Cavalry and the
Mormon interpreter taken prisoner at Car
rlzal from the Carranza authorities as fol
lows; '.'About 3 this afternoon Oeneral Gonzales
