yearned to say, "Here's a piece of sugar.
Bob," instead of saying with an affectionate
pat, "Hello, BOS, old boy," or perhaps re
christening their mount Cactus or Mes

Mills, of tha Traffic Squad, herein gives
Unto tho horses their own again.
General Prlco's horse, the only black In
the lot. No. 938, Is "Proud Jim," tho slick
est horse that ever graced a police parade.
Ha had been with the department six
years, and had been ridden constantly by
Ceptaln Mills himself. Major Whtttnkar'i
horse. No. 903, Is "Bob," who patroled
Chestnut street with Officer Swain upon his
back. Ho was tho only horso In the de
partment who could not be induced to ride
against a crowd In which women wero pre
dominant Surgeon Crampton's horse. No. 947, was
"Tcddle"; Major Goddart's, No. 552, was
"Eddie," and Colonel Allen's, of the 1st
Regiment, No. 84, was "Jake." All three
horses patroled tho outlying districts of
West Philadelphia. In tho 1st Heglmcnt,
lieutenant uoionel Hunt's horse. No. 50S,
was "Poto"; Major Nichols', No. 579, was
"Davy": Battalion Major Zane's, No. SI9
W03 "Tom," and Major Mcehan's, No. 502,
was known as "Dutch." Ho is a G-year-old
bay, and wns attached to the 61st ond
Thompson streets station. He was never
known to get a rider "in dutch," was much
sought after In parades and had been rid
den by Theodore Roosevelt upon one proud
occasion.
In tho 2d Regiment, Colonel Turner's
mount. No. S08, was "Joe"; Lieutenant
Colonel Ross', No 930, was "Dave"; Major
Hall's, 907, was "Bull"; Major Pickering's,
No. 791, was "Lunk," and Major Casey s.
No. 944. was "Pickles," so called because
during: all tho seen years ho had served
with Officer Foster, he always scorned
apples and sugar and candy, but fell hard
for tho well known Dill.
In the 3d Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel
Kemp's horse. No. 984. was "Scout" j Major
Foos No. 721. was "Bill"; Major Brook
field's. No. 967, was "Shybolt"; Major
Blair's, No. 94(5, was "Bum," and Captain
Casey's, No. 989, was "Bull." "Bull" was
the trick horso of the Traffic Squad and
had been on duty about the produce market
at 32d and Market for seven years, where
he was beloved by everybody. He had a
fashion of walking on his hind legs when
begging for a drink.
RESORT SWAINS AT BORDER,
HOTEL MEN ARE DESOLATE
Eligible Youths, Once Attraction at
Shore, Away With Army or Train-
ing for It
NEW YORK, July 12. This "near war"
on the border Is playing hob With summer
resorts. Everywhere along the Jersey
coast, up north and In the mountains, comes
the plaintive plea of the hotelkeeper that
the eligible young men who used to keep
the summer girls company have gone to the
border or else are drilling at Plattsburg.
Tho shortage of men Is serious.
Also, 'the resort hotel proprietors are
noting with great chagrin that society
or a goodly part of it. at least Is now on
the border, braving heat and glare to be
near brother guardsmen, son guardsmen or
sweetheart guardsmen.

VILLA VICTORY DENIED,
, BUT CHIHUAHUA CITY IS
MENACED BY OUTLAWS
Carranza Forces Constantly De
sert to Bandit Chief as He
Recruits Army for Blow
in South
REPORTED SURROUNDED
EL PASO, Tcx July 12 Omclal denlnl
of reports that tho Carranza army under
General Trclno nt Chihuahua City had
evacuated that place before tho advance
of a largo Villa force was Issued today In
Juarez Tho denial was generally accepted
ai true, although the reports of Chihua
hua's evacuation had been so strong that
Goneral Bell, commander nt Fort Bliss, had
forwarded them to 'Washington.
That Chihuahua will agnln fall Into
Villa's power Is not considered Impossible,
however. General Trovlno's position 1ms
nlwavB been far from secure. Chihuahua
City is a hotbed of Villa sentiment. It
was whero Vilja shono as a bandit. Thou
sands In Chihuahua City look upon the
prospect of tho bandldt's return as eagerly
as a racetrack fan Beans favorable turf
news.
From all Indications, Villa Is satisfied to
remain for tho present comparatively quiet,
forming his army and reorganizing it into
working units. His recruit's are being
gained without f eat effort.
Small detach, cnts of his bandit hordo
are conducting small raids more or less In
the manner of rehearsals They find no
obstructions placed before them. 'Vhereor
they go the Carranza garrisons either re
treat or suddenly decide to become bandits
themselves Tho Carranzlstas have a way
of disappearing before tho advance of Villa's
men
BANDITS SURROUNDED
However, today thcro Is the otllcjal report
that the Villa army la being surroundtd.
General Fortuna Jlaysetta from Tepehunnes :
General MaytUs Ramos, from Jlmlnez, nnd
Colonel Gopo, from along the lino of tho
P.irral-Jlmlnez Railroad Junction aro hem
ming Villa In a trap, say the Carranza
leaders.
At the same time they mado official
admission of attacks at Jlmlnez nnd Santa
Itosarlo, which had been denied up to this
time. In the official reports the Vllllstas
were repulsed at both places.
General Pershing is at Colonla Dublan
with the 7th.1 10th and 11th Resln.ent3 of
cavalry, the 10th and 21th Infantry and
a battery of field artillery. At Joaquin, 40
miles to the north, ho has a company of en
gineers and the 17th Infantry engaged in
a mighty effort to rebuild tho thorough
fares Remounts are waiting at Columbus to
be sent forward. Until the roads are made
possible, it seems that tho ex; edition may
have to depend on Carranza's permission to
send supplies by Mexican railroads, which
Is a most unsatisfactory thing upon which
to rely for the support of an expedition
Censorship ha3 been put into working
order to screen much news that might ho of
Interest about the militia But it may be
said that the principal problem of the army
men Is keeping tho guardsmen occupied.
MEASLES CONQUERED.
The most serious affliction of the mobili
zation threatened the 1st Pennsylvania
Cavalry. It was measles On tho way
across the country Private Earl D. Ludwlg,
of Troop K, wa3 found to be suffering
from measlei at Kansas City. He was
detained there, A day or so earlier his
"bunkle," Ernest Button, was taken oft
the train at Cincinnati with a similar case.
There has been fear that this would mean
an epidemic, but the Pennsylvania boys
passed Inspection nicely upon their arrival
in El Paso
Today they boast that "there la not a
measle In the camp "
The Pennsj Ivanla boys also claim a trans
continental bathing record, having dipped
successively in the Potomac, the Ohio River
and a lake In Missouri.
The guardsmen are being assigned to bor
der patrol posts and look forward eagerly
to any kind of duty that takes them nearer
to Mexico,

Tho railroad people aro highly pleased
with tho manner in which this -volume of
business wns handled, and thoy have re
ceived tho thanks of nrmj officers at Mount
Gretna, who expressed themselves as highly
satisfied with tho way the transportation
pioblem was handled
Railroad officials say evldcnco that the
coaches used by the troops nio the same as
used In regular bervlco 13 shown by the fact
that 130 tars accumulated at Harrlsbuig
for tho movement of troops were used to
handle the holiday crowds when It was
found the soldiers would not Immediately
need them, and then returned to this point
"Tho railroad companies went to a great
deal of trouble and expense," said Super
intendent McCaleb, ' to Bee that tho run
ning gears of the coaches uero In tho best
possible condition and that tho coache3 woro
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before

force of more than 100 car Inspectors at
work in Harrisburg under tho direction of
H. B. Hufccr, assistant master mechanic,
in addition to 20 car inspectors at Mount
Gretna, under direction of G. T. Baker, gen
eral foreman of car repairs After the
cars had been thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected at Harrisburg they were reln
spected at Mount Gretna, so as to be ab
solutely sure they were In first-class con
dition After they were Inspected by tho
railroad authorities; Government officials
were notified and they were then Inspected
by tho army officers, so that there was no
possibility of cars leaving Moun Gretna
other than In good condition "
Mr. McCaleb said It was a matter of

PROTECTION FOR BORDER
WASHINGTON, July 12. Tentative
plans of tho do facto Government of Mexico
for tho rehabilitation of tho country, par
ticularly In regard to Its finances, have
been unofficially and informally communi
cated to tho State Department The plans
so far as outlined aro acceptable to tho
officials m far consulted.
Naturally, whether tho plan for building
up tho finances of tho country ever Is put
Into effect depends entirely on tho outcome
of tho direct negotiations proposed to elimi
nate the otlbting points of difference be
tween tho United States and Mexico tho
American demand that tho border bo given
ndequuto protection and the Mexican do
mand for the withdrawal of American
troops.
It is ndmittod that when theso points
are settled tho Carranza Government will
nnnouneo tho appointment of a financial
commission of flvo recognized cports, nt
least two of whom will bo Americana. With
the Inauguration of the activities of this
commission, tho American Government will
be asked to encourage loans to the Mexican
Government by American bankets This
encouragement, which will be entirely In
formal and unofficial, will bo withheld, how
ever, until an agreement Is reached for tho
retirement of all of tho many Issues of
paper money In Mexico which have no re
demption value, and until tho do facto Gov
ernment honors Its own Issues of paper nt
face for the pajment of taxes
Tho plan has not piogres3ed sufficiently
for an accurate outline of tho powers of
the financial commission, but tho rough plan
Is, that they shall have about tho same
authority as tho commission which put Cuba
on Its feet financially a decade and a half
ago

To meet thnt national standard of luxurious motoring the New Series
