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

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

nial answer as a public de-
Experlencea of this kind should have

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.
