HOUCK SHOE CO. Removed to New Store Evenings 428 Market Street subtly Senate, Without Debate, Passes Volunteer Army Bill as Agreed Upon ■Washington, April 24. —The Senate to-day without debate passed the vol unteer army bill as agreed to by the conferees of the House and Senate. The bill was designed to cure de fects in existing law relating to v olun teer forces and it is relied upon to put these forces upon a war time footing ulmost similar to the regular army. Except for the fact that the volunteer arrny would be disbanded immediate ly by Presidential action at the close of hostilities which led to its organ ization there would be little difference between it and the regular standing army. The volunteer army under the terms of the bill, is to be raised when war exists, or "while war is imminent" but only after congress has given the President authority. The President would call for volunteers by procla mation and make the necessary regu lations for receiving them into service. Enlistments woulJ be apportioned among the states according to popu lation. The President appoints the officers instead of the governors of the states Extraordinary Is the Only Word That These Saturday We have selected for to-morrow's selling those things from our stock which we believe you will want most at this time, and instead of quoting full prices, we have put into effect a liberal reduction to induce you to come here.

STORY OF CHILD IN I LEG OF MAN FALSE Not a Word of Truth in It, Says Physician Who Performed Operation Reports of a highly sensational na ture regarding an operation performed on the leg of the Hev. C. G. White, of Millersburg, resulting in the discovety of the partly developed body of a child instead of the fatty tumor that was expected, are denied absolutely by Dr. , Jos. C. Bioodgood, the physician in I charge, in a letter made public to-day. j The story was published in a number of newspapers, but received no men -1 tion in the Telegraph, due to the fact I that this newspaper's policy is to guard against just such errors,, as it I was suspected at the time this would prove to be. I The Rov. Mr. White is a well known 1 Lutheran minister. During his college ' days he was captain of Gettysburg football team, catcher on the baseball nine and an athlete of note. Dr. Bloodgood's letter of denial fol lows: Baltimore, Md„ April 18, 19X4. Rev. ; C. G. White. Millersburg, Pa.—Dear Mr. | White: I have your letter of April 17 enclosing a clipping from the North American, of Philadelphia. I am send ing you a clipping from Baltimore Star I published April IC. I This ridiculous and untruthful story Unust have been sent either by letter or wire to both Baltimore and Phila delphia papers. The Evening Star published this per fectly ridiculous story without giving me any opportunity to tell them any thing about it The other two papers —the Baltimore News and Evening Sun—would not publish it until they •had given me an opportunity to hear it, and as they could not get me, the> did not publish it at all, and when they did give me an opportunity to explain to them that the story was absolutely false, they, of course, did not pay any further attention to it. The only news item In the storv is the statement that the body of a child was removed from a tumor of the leg, nnd this the leg of a man. This, of course, is absolutely false, and no paper witli any high sense of its duty to the public, should publish such a statement without consulting some member of the profession. , Apparently other Philadelphia papers received it. but Ignored it. One of these papers in Philadelphia called me up by I telephone the next day. | If we look the matter squarely In the face, it Is not you, the patient, or I, the | surgeon, who is made ridiculous, but i the newspapers who swallow such a story absolutely absurd on Its face I and publish It. It was distinctly a newspaper mistake, and the editors of the Baltimore Star appreciate it now. I In the article the statement that you I were a patient of mine is correct, and that you were operated upon is also | correct. But the tumor was not In the thigh, but In the iliac fossa and did not i contain anything which could be even remotely construed as a child, any m 2!"" e ,_ than the comnil> n fatty tumor which most people know about could be described as a human child, or as anything having any relation to a monstrosity. The essential part, there fore, of the article is false. The news Item s untrue. The whole storv Is. ridiculous. lam sorry for the papers who have published It. I believe it would be a better plan to ignore the entire thing, but if you feel that you wish a public statement denying It, you have a right as a pati fi i 1 °. f " I,ne to expect It, and lam sure nial answer as a public de- Experlencea of this kind should have a Kood eftect upon the newspapers and teach them to scrutinize news of this character, and before publishing turn w„ ,°. kno s r , for confirmation. \\ e absolute!) need the newspapers oi the country to help us in the propa ganda of educating the public on mat ters of public health and preventive Hlfil f ' we oan not expect much ilJji r ? n \ ne l Wßpa Pers who will publish medical stories of this sort. ,o- Ver 7. sincerely yours.

T„ April 24.—The largest shipment of explosives and ammunition since the Spanish-Amer ican war left the lona Island naval arsenal yesterday. The consigment of powder, shells and explosives, weigh ing about 200.000 pounds, was con veyed on tug boats to warships stat ioned at New York navy yard. | Ammunition has been leaving the ,Island for ten days, the total shlp | ments to date, aggregating including jthe shells, more than a million Refugees Tell Story of Conditions in Capital at Time of Invasion by Associated Fress Washington, D. C., April 24.—The firat atory of condiUons in Mexico City to reach Washington through official sources was forwarded to Secretary Daniel by Hear Admiral Fletcher, who secured the statements from American refugees arriving In Vera Cruz from the Mexican capital. The statement says: ■ "First news of land received about noon, Tuesday, and there was mucb alarm. General Huerta received the local reporters and correspondents and stated that he had announced that he had definitely refused the de mands of the United States. After the rec/elpt of the news of the landing, demonstrations were made, largely by students and clerks, In the streets, which were hardly passable. Speeches were made. The character of the manifestations became rather more boisterous. Uocks were thrown at some of the American buildings, nota bly the American Club and some com mercial establishments. It was re ported that two Americans while in toxicated had been killed in the streets, but no confirmation was ob tained. Tho American colony largely gathered around the Embassy watch ing for further news. Early Wednes day morning the cable office was taken over by the Mexican government. There were manifestations throughout the night, one of which was an at tempt to pull down the statue of Wash ington. The procession proceeded to the American Embassy, where speeches were made, but apparently of a pacific or patriotic nature. O'Shaughnessy had an interview with General Jluerta Tuesday afternoon. General Huerta promised protection jto all foreigners, particularly Ameri cans. At the request of O'Shaugh nessy about twenty Federal soldiers guarded the Embassy with a force ot eight police. The American con sulate. which had suffered some dam 'age, was guarded by a corresponding I number of Federal soldiers. The fol : lowing morning it was announced that the Mexican government had taken 1 over the management of the railroad and that no trains would be allowed to leave Mexico City without special permission. Rumors were floated that the British and German Ministers 1 were making efforts to send down a train with refugees from their colo nies, and finally, Wednesday afternoon, it was announced that such a train would leave at 6 o'clock, but it was not known until late in the afternoon whether Americans would be allowed to travel on It. However, at the sta i tion tickets were sold, apparentlv to I all who presented themselves without | question of nationality, the approxi ' mate number on this train were as follows: "Americans. 150; RrlUsh. under SO; German, about 75; and Mexicans. 300. I Americans preferred remaining in city ; rather than take chances of coming down on this train. General Maas at Soledad. about 43 kilometers, with about 5,000 troops." Federals Reported to Be Concentrating Forces Under Maas at Soledad By Associated Press Washington. D. C., April 24. —The War Department bustled with activity j to-day following the first actual move ; ment of the army in the Mexican crisis, the departure of the Fifth Bri gade of the First Division from Gal i veston by transport for Vera Cruz. ' Maior-General Wood, designated to 1 take command of the troops in the . field, was in charge of the movement and he received reports early stating that the brigade had been shipped and would leave later in the day. Meantime the department was busied with conditions on the Texas border. Despite the friendly attitude assumed by General Paneho Villa In his statement yesterday, citizens of the towns along the border were appre hensive, and the department received several applications for additional bor der guards. General Wood and his aids carefully scanned all information | as to the concentration of Constitutlon | alist forces in the neighborhood of Juarez, where Villa is located. Awaiting Arrival President Wilson and his advisers anxiously awaited word to-day of the safe arrival of Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy at Vera Cruz. He left Mexico City under special Mexican guard during the night and Admiral Badger had been ordered to give safe I conduct to his train through the | American lines. General Maas Busy Officials of the Navy and War De ! partments busied themselves witl I plans for further operations in the neighborhood of Vera Cruz. With the Fifth Brigade, under General Funston, at the Mexican seaport, there will be I concentrated a force sufficient to hold | the city or to begin offensive op erations. General Maas. the Huerta commander, was reported as concen trating all his available forces at Sole dad, thirty-six miles away on the rail road line to Mexico City. Reports from Admiral Badger, however, said that the forces now in Vera Cruz should be able to withstand any at tack. Meantime no plans for any movement on the northern border were perfected. Padgett in Conference The possibility of requests of sup port from Congress for carrying on | further operations by the President j increased to-day. The War Depart | ment considered the need for volun ] teers and estimated on the funds that would be needed for mobilizing the militia. At the Navy Department Rep ! resentative Padgett, of Tennessee, | chairman of the House naval affairs , committee, was called Into conference I with Secretary Daniels. The embargo in force to-day against ! arms and ammunition all along the . Mexican border was a military meas , lire taken by the War Department. It I was declared as a part of the op erations of the army and navy and no action by the State Department was I involved. By this means the technical I re-establishment of the legal embargo, which It was though might have em barrassed the administration in its at tiyde toward the Constitutionalists in Northern Mexco, was avoided. The embargo will be enforced by the entire military organization on the border and under military orders to customs authorities. I Officers Are Flooded With Applications , Pittsburgh, Pa.. April 24.—Officers !in charge of the navy and marine ] corps recruiting offices here were i flooded with applications for enlist- Iment again to-duy. Yesterday an av erage of twenty an hour for the navy was disposed of, many applicants being foreigners. One sqtlad of 14 Russians, accompanied by «n interpreter, was rejected because; none could speak , English. n Treasury Department Notifies Collectors of Embargo on Arms By Associated Press Washington, D. C., April -'4.—Or ders to hold lip fill shipments of arms across the Mexican border were sent to-day by the Treasury Department to all collectors of customs. The orders are in co-operation with the War De partment's efforts to enforce the em bargo. Collectors were notified to i hold all shipments of arms "until fur- | thier notice." The President wished it j to be impressed generally that tho United States had not adopted a threatening attitude toward the Con stitutionalists in Mexico, but merely | that it expected them to remain neu- , tral while this government continued [ to seek reparation from the I-luerta government lor Indignities offered by j the Muerta authorities. Official messages from American Consular Agent Carothers, describing his meeting with General Villa, reached the President early In the day. In these messages it was specifi- , cally stated that Villa would not join I with Huerta, and the intimation was | conveyed that General Carranza, by i his strong protest against the capture of Vera Cruz was, in reality, seeking i to prevent disintegration of his forces. ! Await WOrd From Iliicrta Future steps are dependent upon a more definite announcement of the in tentions of Carranza. Likewise, it is declared, the American forces will not extend the operations beyond the vi cinity of Vera Cruz,until It is clear whether Huerta will declare war or send troops to attempt to dislodge ; the American forces. Xo Call For Volunteers The President made it clear that lie had no intention as yet of calling for volunteers or of appearing before Congress to ask for an extension of his authority. It was further stated that a brigade of infantry and artillery I from Galveston to reinforce the naval forces at Vera Cruz is not intended as an indication that the United States •.vould develop a campaign against Mexico City, but should Huerta by | some overt act against Americans in Mexico City or elsewhere, provoke the | American government further, there j will be a continuation of efforts to j obtain reparation. President Wilson ; considers that 4n accord with interna- ; tional precedent the American gov- j eminent could even push its way into j the interior of the country to obtain redress for wrongs without actually being in a state of war with the Mexi can people as a whole. He, however, | realizes that Huerta by rallying to his 1 support a great part of the Mexican! nation may actually precipitate a gen-' eral war. but it Is certain that the Inl- ) tiatlve in a declaration of war would have to come from Mexico before the j President appears before Congress to | ask for more power or funds. This being regular Cabinet day, the j Presidents official advisers gathered at! the Executive offices shortly before i noon, the Mexican situation being. taken up for further deliberation.
