There was a marked contrast be tween the departure of General Huerta and that of General Porflrio Diaz. The going of Huerta was absolutely devoid of demonstrations. Thanks Captain Renshaw A short time before his departure h» had gone to the Bristol to make a call on Captain Fenshaw and thank him for courtesies extended his wife and the other members of his party and to complete arrangements for car ing for those who were to be left be hind. There was something more In taking the refugees aboard the Bristol than mere courtesy. A scare occasioned by the report that the Constitutionalists threatened to attack the town still prevailed, though laughed at. But more in the consequence was another report which resulted In the arrest of a lieutenant, a sergeant and one citizen. Throe Under Arrest This was that the three men had been attempting to incite to mutiny the presidential guard, a small detach ment of which remained until the last, and even to assassinate General Huerta and General Blanquet. The first definite idea of Huerta's in tention to depart was indicated when a boat from the Dresden came to the landing and began to receive baggage. Another launch appeared and Huerta, his wife and two daughters stepped from the car. General Huerta looked about with an air that seemed puzzled and a little pained. Senora Huerta was wiping her eyes that were already red. The children's faces reflected the solemnity of the movement. Huerta's face lighted somewhat when the correspondents approached and he began to talk to them. "What About Bryan?" "But there is absolutely nothing I want to say to you." he said. ""What about Bryan? What do you think of him?" asked one of them. "I want to say nothing at all about him." replied the ex-president. Another asked him about President Wilson. "Mr. Wilson is president of <he United States." he answered, "and as such I respect him. I must be careful what I say about him, too. for let me remind you that in all this affair I have never officially mentioned his name. The nearest I came to it was in my note of resignation and then only by inference. "Oh. yes. yes. he has spoken of me mar.y times indeed. He had keen kind enough to send me messaged but I never have felt like using his name. "However, ns a matter of fact, do you know. Wilson. Carranza and Villa are my best friends. They have intro duced me rather widely. lam frierelv one of the sons of Mexico, no more important myself than any one of these." He waved his hands to Include a little group of officers and laboring men who had gathered to hear him. llnve Advertised Him "But they have advertised me." he continued. "Oh. yes, they have done that." and the grizzled fugitive blew contemptuously a cloud of cigaret smoke and shrugged his shoulders. "Oh. now. do not misunderstand me. I have heard it said that I am an enemy of the United States. That is a lie. T admire the American people and I have all respect for Mr. Wilson as president of that people. "The United States is certainly the most powerful nation on this side of the Atlantic, and perhaps the most powerful in the world, and her people are entitled to the admiration of all." As to the Immediate future of his country General Huerta was evasive, but he did say that peace was not quite at hand. "When real peace will come," he commented. "it Is difficult to say. Nat urally there Is due a crisis here. It may come in one month, two months, three months, but it will come qiuck." "But will that mean Intervention?" was asked. The officers, the laboring men and ; ail others looked at him more closely, ! but with no loss of time Huerta shot back emphatically: "X«, never." General Huerta. whose wife had been signalling him to "come on," I moved away toward the landing at the ; pier. He called back that he expected i to write out a detailed statement and i send it ashore. But he never did. Gen. Carranza Is Ready to Pat an End to War By Assrciatei Press Monterey, Mex.. July 21.—As soon as General Carranza receives officiai word that Francisco Carbajal as pro visional president of Mexico, has sent or will send a commission to arrange : the unconditional surrender of Mexico city, he will issue an order suspending! hostilities against the Federals throughout Mexico.

Marching in corps, battalions or regiments, or in whatever formation army worms march, the little pests reached the outskirts of the borough a few days ago. Skirmishers, thrown out possibly to reconnoiter along the "front" and discover the best places to forage, began their attack on tfie green lawns along Cottage Hill. Residents in this section of the bor ough first noticed the presence of the \vprms when their lawns began to turn from green to brown over night. They were at a loss to understand what was causing the damage. A close search • lotted hordes of worms about an inch long dfairly covering the lawns. But before measures could be taken to destroy the pests, the skirmishers returned to the main body and the entire army moved upon the town. The right flank attacked the beautiful lawns along Pine street while the left flank moved down along the southern end of Cottage Hill. The Center com menced operations in the heart of the borough. And where the army attacked long stretches the green lawns were turned to try and brown patches of burned straw. Then the residents got busy. Rush orders were placed at drug stores for arsenic of lead and other insecticides. Now practically every per son who owns a patch of lawn in the borough is waging war on the worms. A number of drug stores have ex hausted their supply of arsenic of lead but fresh orders are already com ing and the war will be continued. Steelton Snapshots Hold Annual Outing;.

PIRIY LEADERS TAKE UP HOME RULE DEBATE [Continued From First Paffe] Probably this was the first time that John E. Redmond and John Dallon, the Irish Nationalist leaders, had ever exchanged greetings with their sover eign, as It hud been the practice of Nationalist members of Parliament to remain away from all functions where, members of the House of Com mons were likely to be brought into contact with royalty. Apparently Friendly The meeting of the Conservatiee and Liberal leaders on such intimate footing was apparently friendly but could not have been cordial, as Pre mier Asqulth and Andrew Bonar Law i have been barely on speaking terms, ias Mr. Law practically accused the Premier in the House of Commons of lying about recent government plans to suppress the Ulster volunteers. The Marquis of Landsdown, leader of the Unionists in the House of Lords, and David Lloyd George, two of the other conferees, represent the most extreme aristocratic and democratic schools of British politics and are generally believed to be bitter per sonal enemies. At the same time the members of the Irish Nationalist and Unionist fac tions could not have felt much pleas ure in finding themselves In such close association. Since personal feelings among poli ticians in the United Kingdom never ran so high as at present, the atmos phere of the gathering could not have heen otherwise than extremely chilly and formal. After a brief conversation. King j George withdrew from the meeting at about noon, leaving the conferees to their deliberations. rntitlefl to Course According to the Daily News, which represents the section of the radicals that resent the King's interference, the Kink intends to wthhold assent from the TTome Hule bill unless the amending bill is presented at the same time for the royal assent, the court view being that the King Is entitled to take this course because the intro duction of the amending bill has vitiated the procedure under the Par liament act. • For the first time in English reign King George Is criticised strongly though respectfully by some of the important Liberal newspapers, which express the belief that If his majesty forced the holding of conferences on the Home Rule question he over stepped the constitutional duty of a limited monarch nnd Interfefred with the rights of Parliament and the re sponsibility of the Cabinet. Several Liberal members of the House of Commons opposed to con ference to-day called a caucus of their i sympathizers, which probably will adopt resolutions of a similar charac ter to those oassed by the labor mem bers last night, referring to the undue Interference of the crown, which the labor members declare was called to defeat the purposes of the Parliament act. The conference at Buckingham Palace, after being in session for only about an hour and a half, adjourned for the day, but will meet again to morrow.

Kraft will not suffer in any way financially, Mr. Ebbets continued. He will be paid Newark salary of $450 a mi.nth ($l5O more than the Nashville club was permitted to pay him) for the entire time that he was under suspension and for the rest of the life of his contract. "I settled this case myself because I did not want to see trouble between organized baseball and Its players," Mr. Ehbets said. "It seemed to me that this was the simplest and easiest way out of the diffieulty-«-for Newark to buy Nashville's interest In the play er. Of course I realize that this settle ment will be practically a victory for the fraternity inasmuch as they got everything they asked for." David L Fultz, president Baseball Players Fraternity, expressed gratifi cation at the outcome of the case. "If the purchase is a bona fide one. and the Newark club Intends to use Kraft we are satisfied," he said. "So Don't take Drugs! TU-80-LAX CONSTIPATION in 2 MIM/IES ~ /I tu : bo-laxTl CONS THE NEW WAY Why Wait All Night? TU-80-LAX Will Relieve in 2 Minutes Adrienne, the Editor of the "Health & Beauty" Page in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Gives Mothers This Very Sensible Advice: "Try to do without drugs. I say this, not from any dis like to the use of medicines in treating children, but because we are here dealing with a function that persists through out life. If we control that function by drugs we injure the intestines in their action, so that larger and larger doses must be taken, and in the course of time nothing short of giant doses of the most powerful purgatives will effect the result desired, and as such drugs when habitually used in jure the system —the condition of the sufferer is pitiable." Had she written a whole volume she could not have said more. Only she might have added that where children or grown folks are constipated they should—by all means, be treated with Tu-Bo- Lax. This laxative ointment, which is inserted in the rectum, brings immediate relief without disturbing the stomach, intestines or any part of the body, and soon habituates the lower bowel to act regu larly without assistance. Treating Constipation through the mouth in any shape will soon be tabooed by the Medical Profession. We want everybody to realize the fact that the lower bowel is nothing more or less than a sewer pipe, and when it becomes clogged or tails to evacuate the refuse matter—it upsets digestions, creating dyspepsia, nervousness, liver ailments, sick headache and general, debility. If you are constipated—try TU-80-LAX, and in 2 MINUTES you will be grateful for this advice. You will have no more use for Cathartics. TU-80-LAX is as pleasant and easily used as taking a swallow of water. It gives you one complete evacuation, and avoids the weakening effect of Cathartics that may operate a half dozen times, just when it is most inconvenient. All druggists sell it—or upon receipt of 25 cents we will mail you a package.

Would Close Ball Parks Governor Tener, as president of the Nr.tional league, said relative to the baseball situation: "In my opinion, the question In volved in the Players' Fraternity con tention In no sense Justifies a strtke, which, if called, would Jeopardize not only the players' means of livelihood, but menace the best interests of the game as well. "If, however, the players should walk out on such a fll>msy pretext, then organized ball should not further recognize a fraternity or its members responsible for such an act—even to the end. as Mr. Johnson states, the closing Of our ball parks."
