ZEISBERG Evening Ledaet Staff Correspondent The temperature at El Paso, Tex., is 72 at 8 o'clock this morning. EL ASO, Tex., July 19. "Wo are going Into Mexico." That phrase of nvo words, with the accent on the second. Is coursing through Camp Pershing and Camp Stewart, tho homes of the Pennsylvania troops, and the various other camps where mllltla arc concentrated. It came from' high sources; not from one, which might be mistaken, but from more than two. In brief, tho extensive preparations which nro being made to equip tho large forces of National Guardsmen now undergoing a process of seasoning under this semltrop leal sun presage nothing moro or less than an entrance Into Mexico to "clean up." That Is tho opinion of high odlccrs. Pennsylvania's division, more nearly pre pared than nny other largo body of troops encamped hero, should recelvo a lion's share of tho honor of untwisting the tangled mess of Mexico. That Is another opinion of high ofTlcers. Already three detachments. Major Hall's battalion of tho 2d lleglment 'and Captain Bradford's Company U, engineers, both of Philadelphia, and Major Coulter's battalion of tho 10th lleglment. of western Pennsylvania, have been dispatched for duty. When tho troubled boundary lino will bo crossed no one can say. But It Is now known, according to tho sources from which tho Information came, that tho drlbbtcs of horses and mules, of wagons nnd tents, of ammunition and uniforms that aro being Is sued to the regiments aggregate nn enor mous outlay. Regiment by regiment It looks trivial. Taken In bulk It assumes warlike proportions. Six million dollars' worth of automobile trucks, 60,000 horses, 30,000 mules, wagons, tents and other equipment for nn army In tho fleld nre being poured Into the concen tration camps nlong tho border, tho best of authority has It. Evidences of this lavish preparation aro cropping out dally. Here a regiment receives enough horses and wagons to round out Its full complement, there an engineering company receives 22 mules. Hero new tents arc Issued, there new uni forms. Presently, when tho Job of outfitting tho army. Is finished, nothing will remain but the action of which every soldier heart In Camp Stewart and Camp Pershing longs. Twolvo thousand horses will be Issued In three weeks to the Pennsylvania cavalry, which today Is In the same boat as It was When It detrained nt Camp Stewart, If speaking of boats and lack of water In the samo breath Is not sacrilegious. The same Bood humor characterizes tho waiting of the hardy troopers for the approach of the water plpei. They aro not "tin soldiers," and they laugh as they nibble a swallow of warmish water out of -a canteen or drop a bucketful of tho precious fluid over them selvesi In an Impromptu shower bath or look wVntero8t at tho blue-mlrago lakes shlm merntf out on tho rim of tho mesa. "Sup pose we were In Mexico," they think. WATER SUPPLY DELAYED. The protracted delay in providing a plpo supply was explained today at General Clement's headquarters. The trouble was In tho Joints," It was said. "There were plenty of pipes, but thoy did not fit." Nearly 12,000 three and four-Inch mains and 4000 feet of smaller pipes have been laid In Camp Stewart, but only half a mllo of the system Is carrying- water. Before sundown It Is expected that Ccneral O'Neill's entire Third Brigade will bo supplied. Foot by foot the missing Joints then will span the remaining half mllo to division headquarters and then the last halt mllei to the cavalry -will be covered. Not another detachment will bo moved to tho new site until the water system is completed. No harm has come to the Isolated troops through lack of water. Their physical con dition Is remarkable, considering the cir cumstances, according to Major Crookston, sanitary officer. This Is ascribed to the fact that tho cavalrymen have marched three miles to Fort Bliss for baths and that every drop of, Jhe meagre supply of water hauled In wagons has been utilized. A really serious problem has developed In the El Paso postolfice and in the regi mental postofllces, where men labor con scientiously for long hours over puzzling stacks of mall. Hundreds of Utters to Philadelphia soldiers are being sent to the dead letter otllce because at insufficient addresses. POSTOFFICE UNPREPARED. "The unpreparedness of the Postoffice Department in this matter Is amazing." declared one exasperated volunteer post master for a Philadelphia. regtmnt. "Hero no steps have been lanen to provide for an Increased population of 25,000 to 30.000 per sons, although therel has been ample op portunity for Increasing tho mall facilities. It is not the fault of the El Paso postof fice. The men there work night and day In an almost hopeless task." To make matters worse, many letters nre addressed Insufficiently, or too sufficiently. Where there Is not sufficient address the letter wanders disconsolately from regiment to regiment; where there Is "too much" address the letter generally goes to the wrong regiment first. The 1st Regiment Is to be paid this aft ernoon for the nine days between muster ing in and the last day of June. This will complete the 1st Brigade's payment, the 3d lleglment having been paid late yesterday afternoon. A message of commendation from Gen eral Clement was transmitted today through Captain R. W.

Ha attracted considerable attention today at the end of a. dusty company street by "bawflng out" In round terms n pair of dis gruntled recruits who were walling to heaven on the quality of their mess food. Tho sterling patriot, In whose breast burns nn nmpr patriae not excelled In nil this 7th Division, Is Joseph Pltelll, boIo clarinetist In tho 2d Regiment Band. Ho Is nlso the regimental barber, hav ing erected a home-made barber chnlr un der a tent flap. It was while acting In his capacity as barber that he suddenly blazed forth and did not mince words In rebuking tho homesick lads, who were watching a comrade having his hair clipped. They had Just wiped their mesa ltts and were grumbling about what they had eaten. "Ah, what you know 'bout bad chow?" cried Plttelll. "Chow" Is the soldiers' term for food, "You get good chow. What moro you want, you soldiers? Corn, wlllle, beans, bread, coffee what more? What more you get at home, you bums7 You feed better here. Jus' you wait when you get In Mex. Ah, then you And what bad food Is." "Aw, gwan," mumbled one of tho mal contents, a lnnky lad of some 10 or 20 years. "We didn't como here to starve Wo camo here to fight. Glvo us u fight with the Mexicans nnd wo don't caro what wo cat I'm homesick, I nm. I wish I'd .never enlisted." "For shamo on you I" retorted Pltelll, tho pntrlot, waving his shears dangerously near his "victim's" car. "How you talk I What kind patriotism Is this? Me, I am more patriotic than you. My patriotism Is stronger than tho both of yours nnd you both bigger than me. This country. I love It moro than you both nnd you both wcro born here. For shnmo on you I Me, I am n patriot And you you aro loafers!" IJy this tlmo the little knot of soldiers had Increased to almost a company full, nil hanging on the words of the energetic llttlo foreigner. Tlicy looked on him approvingly. "Go It, Joe," they chorused. "Glvo 'cm hell, boy!"

KUEHNLE, BOSS AGAIN, HONORED AT RECEPTION Old-time Friends Gather at Ex Leader's Home on Little Beach Many There ATLANTIC CITY, N. X, July 19 All shore political trails today lead by water to Little Beach, summer headquarters of Louis Kuehnle. Atlantic City's old-time po litical boss. Albert Baltz, a wealthy Phila delphia brewer and well-wisher of the for merly all-powerful "Commodore," Is giving a big party there to celebrate the "return" of Kuehnle to political power through the defeat of ex-Mayor "BUI" Riddle In the May election. The recrudescent leader, who one time made Mayors and Councllmen and ran every branch of the town machinery, will be acclaimed by many of those who were formerly his bitter enemies. Many Phlladelphtans who came In morn ing trains to take part In the big party were conveyed to Little Beach In Mr. Baltz's big yacht. Mayor Bacharach and Commis sioners Beyer, Thompson, Sooy and White, who owe their election very' largely to Kuehnle's aid, went .o Little Beach in Com missioner White's yacht gray-mustached ranchman, who sat on the platform- His boiled shirt was collarless; he wore no coat, but. his diamond stud Il luminated his shirt 'as no necktie could.

Colonel Ingersolt, the only Progressive leader attending the convention, was In tbe limelight continually. Mrs. Kata M. Hamilton, of Los Angeles, CaL, who is 71 years old, and has been a prohibitionist for 61 years, was "grand mother" to many of the woman delegates who greeted her- She sat near the platform, dressed In prim white, with a bit of vanity expressed In the earrings that bobbed as shf nodded her gray hair. This convention sings for amusement, whera other parties shouted, marched and yelled. The Prohibitionists Joined In tho choruses when A. M.

Is better today, according to Dr. John Nicholson, of Cooper Hospital. The physician bald Ellis' ago was In hla favor. Hills Is G8 years old, and the years have toughened tho stomach wall. This re sistance may conquer tho effects of the bullet wound. The bullet In the stomach region has been removed, but another still Is in tho fleshy part of tho thigh. Mr. Ellis was much Interested In today's hearing and left directions that he was "to be kept In touch." Before the hearing Mrs. Ashbridge talked a bit. "I must have been crazy to glvo my husband a revolver," sho said. "I helped him to escape from prison because I felt that thero was still a chance for him to reform. "I did It more for my two children. It was our hope to get uway thousands of miles from Camden and begin life all over again. Once my husband and I had been safe from the police wo had planned to send for our children. "I am sorry my hutiband killed the keeper. I am not sorry for the part I have played, but regret that I was persuaded to purchase a revolver. "For a long time my children have been without a father now, I suppose, they will become motherless, as, no doubt, I will be sent to prison for a long term." Mrs. Ashbridge was visited this morning by Mrs. Panons, nn aunt, and 'Mrs. Anna Dick, a friend, who has been taking care of the two Ashbridge children. She came to announce that she was leaving for sev eral weeks and couldn't take the children along. Mrs. Parsons didn't know whether she could care for them or not. If no other means is found Captain Schregler said the city of Camden would Bee that the young sters And a home. The search for Georga E. Thompson, former lawyer and forger, who escaped with Ashbridge, is still going on. The police believe Thompson, who, they say, was the master mind In the jail delivery and mur der, la heading for the South He separated from Ashbridge and the latter's wife at Market and 32d streets Monday evening, about an hour after their escape from the Camden Jail. Thompson, the police believe, will put up a desperate light In tho event of capture facing him. He Is said td be armed. Before leaving Ashbridge he Is believed to have purchased a revolver In a pawnshop In this city. RAILROAD STRIKE SITUATION MAY GO TO MEDIATION BOARD "Wilson Favors Consideration Before Employes Complete Their Vote WASHINGTON, July 19. That the country-wide railroad strike, which is threaten ing to tie up the business of the United States, may be referred to the, United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation before tbe railroad men complete their strike vote was indicated at the offices of the board to day. ( Ordinarily this body does not Intervene In strike situations until called upon by one of the disputing parties after a strike Is definitely ordered, but it is understood that President Wilson favors the submission of the difficulties between tbe companies and the men to the board at once, thus prevent ing an open break which would cost the country millions as tbe result of interrupted Industry Commissioner Chambers, a member of the board, said today that he was keeping in close touch, with the strike situation and was only awaiting tho proper moment to make overtures. p - uituOi. JUBMM1 VAN HOKN Of tho llth nnd Winter Btreets station. TENDERLOIN VISITORS LAUGH AT RAID Continued from Pace One 12th, which borders tho Reading Railway, many women peered from the doors. They didn't spent; to all who passed, but evi dently wero waiting for those whom they knew. A pollccmnn seated comfortably on a box which was backed up by the stone wall edging the railroad chatted pleasantly with a gaily dressed nnd hatlcss girl who croBBed tho Btrect to help him while nway tho tedious hours that ho wna on quarantine duty. Just around tho corner, on Spring stroot below 12th, two other cops sat on comfort nblo chairs whllo jjlrla ncross tho street Joked with them. The conversation came to a sudden halt when visitors passed, Tho cops gave tho strangers tho "onco over," but asked no questions. After midnight taxis nnd automobiles be gan to nppear and from three Bnloona In tho neighborhood at least six couples emerged. The men In tho pnrty seemed a llttlo "leary," but tho girls laughed ns thoy piloted them along toward Callowhllt street. Everything was quiet, of course, In the Tenderloin police stations. Acting Captain Ewlng, who had been summoned from tho 61st nnd Thompson streets police Btatlon, to take chargo of tho 2d pollco division went around tho district in plain clothes. Ewlng was onco attached to tho 10th nnd Button wood streets stntlon nnd was known na a lieutenant who preserved order. He Is fill ing, temporarily, tho place mado vacant by tho suspension of Nicholas J. Konny. . EVERYTHING'S QUIET. "Everything's quiet," ho said. "I haven't seen any disorder anywhere In tho dis trict." Acting Lieutenant Koch said the samo and tho sergeant on duty nt midnight said that no women had been arrested for dis orderly conduct. Up In tho 10th nnd Buttonwood streets station, which was tho storm centre of Sat urday night's raid, a similar report was made. "AH quiet," paid tho sergeant. Tho restaurant known ns tho "Arsenal," nt 10th and Winter streets, was also quiet on tho surface. Thero wcro a few men nnd girls eating at tables. Ex-cops and ,(iangers-oti In tho neighbor hood smiled vfhen asked about the raid. They expressed tho ' belief that the sus pended officials will bo given a gruelllnff nnd sent to some other district. "They could have made tho samo kind of a raid nt nny time during tho last six or, eight months," said ono habitue, "and got as good a crop." No one would say anything against Lieutenant Stinger, of tho 6th District, or Lieutenant Georgo Van Horn, who havo been suspended. "They did the best they could," was the general opinion, "when a feller has too many bosses." CAPTAIN KENNY AROUSED. Friends of Captain Nicholas J. Kenny, who was suspended after the raid, saj- he will havo a general "show down" when he faces the Pollco Trial Board. Captain Kenny Is an old Indian lighter and It Is said his "fighting blood" has been roused. Ho has been In the Pollco Department 21' years and Is Bpoken of as a man who "can not bo reached." The fact that he was sent on an ostensible "wild goose chaso" tp Detroit to "get a lino on tho traffic regulations" there whllo the raid was pulled oft during- his absence, has aroused the ire of the Captain, It Is said. Those who aro in touch with affairs at C.ty Hall say Captain Kenny reminded Di rector Wilson that Captain Mills, of the traffic division, was better fitted to Investi gate affairs dealing with that branch of the department But tho Director, It is said, told Captain Kenny that ho wanted him to go. Tho Captalp will not be the "goat," his friends say, and will review a few details In connection with his suspension. SUSPENSIONS OF POLICE. The statement of Director Wilson that he found vlco rampant when he took office caused many smiles In the Tenderloin. It was the opinion of many that the suspen sions of the police officials wcro brought about to find a way for favorites of the administration That politics was the essential feature Is the belief of those who have watched the "Ins and outs" of the Tenderloin. When the Smith administration went Into office It found tho city tight from a vice spandpolnt, with the lid clamped down This was the causa of much regret M tho Tenderloin. The word went forth with the incoming of Mayor Smith that the lid was to be torn wide open and everything would be as of old. MAYOR SMITH'S DENIALS, This was denied by the Mayor In vigorous statements. For a time the lid remained down. Then it was gradually lifted. The nails came off by degrees and finally the hinges, until the lid flew oft completely. This was evidenced by the large dope business and the tact that the Btreets were frequented by the gaily dressed women. They heard, of course, that the lid was to remain down. but the fact that they were not molested and the quiet word from trusted politicians reassured them. In comparison the Tenderloin Is said to be actually as bad as during the Ash bridge administration whet, utter defiance of the law and contempt for public opinion was one of the features. In those days the famous saying that "Philadelphia was cor rupt and contented" went forth and little was done to changp the opinion. The Aahbridge regime paved the way for wholesale political decapitations during the Weaver reign. Disclosures at that time brought out the fact that high officials knew of the vice and worked hand-ln-glove with it. Lieutenants and others who didn't carry out political orders Svere quickly be headed and there does not seem to be the slightest difference now, many 'In the, Ten derloin cay. PORTER PASSES "THE BUCK" BACK. Director Wilson "passed the buck" for the vice conditions In the Tenderloin from his shoulders to those of former Director George D. Porter when lie forced the police upheaval yesterday afternoon. Sorter to day returned the compliment "Director Wilson knows the conditions there." ho said. "The change In the Tenderloin was no ticeable after the election of Mayor SmltbJ' continued the former Director, who did not make plain luit whi,t this change was. t Inference, however, elpg that the city was flooded with strong-arm men and crooks." "CEASE SQUABBLING," HUGHES TELLS G. 0. P. AND PROGRESSIVES Hard Fight Ahead and "Wo MUst Work Together," Nomi nee Warns His Followers PLANS W E S T E R-N TRIP NEW YORK. July 19. Charles Evans Hughes, Republican nominee for the presi dency, today served notice that potty squab bling between Progressives nnd Republicans "must cense at onco." The former Supremo Court Justlco de clared that the Republicans faced n hard fight In tho campaign, and that victory 'would be nsBUrcd only by the complete uni fication of all fnctlons. "Wo -must work together," said Mr, lluges.r Tho nominee hnd n lengthy conference with William Wlllcox, chairman of tho Campaign Committee. At Its conclusion, Mr. Hughes announced that tentative dates had been selected for his Bwlng through tho West, but that tho echedulo would not bo made public for n llttlo while. Ho added, however, that tho 'arrangements for the trip would be mado In co-operntlon with the plans of tho National Commltteo In each State. A Chicago delegation, headed by Mayor Thompson, met Mr. Hughes nnd reiterated Its protests against tho nnmlng of Harold L. Ickes, former Progressive, ns the Illinois member of tho campaign committee. "We've got a hard campaign against ih," Thompson said. "Every State offico in Illinois Is held by a Democrat. We will have to fight hard to carry the State for Mr. Hughes. Illinois, Indiana, nnd Michi gan will bo tho crucial states this yenr. "Maybo thero wos'nt room for a Re publican on tho campaign committee, but just tho same wo will fight hard for Mr. Hughes.

PLANS TO REGAIN TRADE. Germany and England alike nro working out plans to regain tho trado lost hero by the war. And It Is admitted that upon how successful they nro In completing their plans will depend how drastic remedial legislation by the Government will be. It Is understood hero that President Wll sdn plans to direct attention to this sub ject when tho political campaign opens, seiz ing upon It ns a medium to reply to tho Republican allegations that tho present enormous business of the United States s unnatural and due entirely to tho wnr. As a first step In the general plan, com mercial representatives of the Government havo begun a determined effort to obtain Bpecdy action on the bill to exempt from tho antitrust laws combinations of mer chants and manufacturers organized for the sole purpose of engaging In the export trade. While tho representatives of the Trado 'Commission and the Department of Commerce have been unablo to have the bill Included In tho administration legislative program, they are pressing congressional leaders to take the bill up as an emergency measure. "COMMERCIAL EMERGENCY." "This is u commercial emergency," Bald Chairman Hurley, of the Trado Commlalon, today. "It Is Impossible for the Individual American producer to competo with the pow erful government-fostered combinations for trade In the world markets. And now, In addition to tho comblantlons in Individual countries, we are to find ourselves con fronted with combinations of the business resources of several groups of nations. The American should be allowed to gain all of tho strength possible through combinations In order to equalize his chances In the world market." Representatives of the Trade Commission and of the United States Chamber of Com merce will nppear beforo tho House JudU clary Committee tomorrow to urge action on the bill. FIRMS HERE BLAME GERMAN LEANINGS FOR BLACKLISTING Officials Say They Wouldn't Deal With Britain Anyway Two Philadelphia firms nre In the list of those blacklisted from trado dealings with English firms by Great Britain, and both say they are so decidedly Teutonic In sympathy that they wouldn't deal with England anyway. Carl Grubnau, of Wyncote, who Is a woot Importer on Arch Btreet, aid he has known of the discrimination against him for some time; In fact, he said, ever Blnce his bank notified him his credit no longer was good. The bank, he explained, Is controlled by tho Allies. Mr. Grubnau thought his black listing came because of his refusal to go Into the association formed by Great Britain to control the wool trade between her possessions and this country. To have joined It, he said, ho would have had to give up his trade secrets to England any time they were asked for. Mr. Grubnau didn't feel able to express an opinion as to whether his German lineage had any thing to da with his being blacklisted, though he was Inclined to doubt It, having been naturalized hero 33 years ago. The other concern, the Orensteln Arthur Koppel Company, has offices In the Real Estate Trust Building. It Is Incorporated In this State but its high executive offices are In Germany and main offices jn this country in New York. It deals la motor and railway supplies. Tho Philadelphia jile.i airent. llarrv Roblczek. E512 Baltimore avenue, said the blacklisting was needless,. for no profit could jnuuee tnem to sen any thing to England while the war lasts. The English list also mentioned the Inter national Import and Export Company, of Philadelphia. This concern, however, no longer exists In this city Its Philadelphia office was but a small branch of the New York office. Its purpose here was to ship packages to Germany through Holland. Now the' New York office does all the business. For a while the Philadelphia office was In the Bullitt Building. Later it was moved to JS6 South 4th street About three months ago It closed Up altogether. Woman Hurt by Collision vHARRISBURG, July 19.
