BRUMBAUGH OUT
FOR PRESIDENCY
Announces in Letter to Wasson
His Name May Bo Used
in May Primaries
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh last
1 night made public letters passing be
: tween himself and Henry G. Wasson.
nf Pittsburgh, Republican national
I committeeman from Pennsylvania at
present, announcing that the Gover
nor would permit the use of his name
at the Republican presidential prefer
ence primary.
Mr. Wasson wrote in February, urg
i ing the Governor to announce himself
! and take the leadership In the State.
The Governor consents, but empha
sizes that he does so more with the
idea of reuniting the Republican party
in Pennsylvania than anything else
and states that if at any time any
candidate from a sister State develops
•strength he will urg6 his friends to
j support him.
The Governor's reply to Mr. Was

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, T3x
| , ecutive Chamber.
Ilarrisburg, March 9, 1916.
' Henry G. Wasson. Pennsylvania mem
ber, Republican National Commit
tee, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Mr. Wasson—l have carefully
j considered your letter to me under
date of February 17 and am impres
sed with the situation you therein set
forth. I agree with you that the mat
ter of moment in this crisis year < f
the Republican party and of the na
tion is the selection of proper candi
dates for the national offices and the
issuance of a platform whose planks
shall be a clear, concise and adequate
statement of the vital needs of the
people.
The present State Administration
1 has done its utmost to establish social
j justice and to place the affairs of the
|Commonwealth upon a humane, equi
table and business basis. Much re
! mains yet to be done and our people
I are keenly sensible of our needs and
of our opportunities. All this, if wide
ly considered, will tend to such unity
lof thought and concert of action by
i all the Republican forces of the Com
monwealth as to .presage a reunited
! party and a Republican victory in
, November. We can never accomplish
! this under any factional leadership.
: Those who are held responsible for
'the disaster of 1912 cannot, I am as
| sured by many, bring together the
| broken forces of the party and lead
lit to decisive victory.
The paramount desire of my heart
is to bring about a union of all the
Republicans of Pennsylvania and pre
sent at the Chicago convention a solid
delegation of capable, representative
Republicans willing and free to co
operate fully with the delegates of the
, other States in producing harmony
land good will In the national councils
lof the party. There should be at Chi
| cago only one opponent to combat,
I namely, the party now In power and
! under which, but for the accident cf
a frightful and deplorable war. would
have our country's industries paralyzed
j and our people in dire distress. We
j can prosper only under an adequate
'< protective tariff power, whose essential
features will work justice to bolh la
| bor and capital and a preparedness
, for peace and against war.
We cannot approach this national
obligation with discordant elements
in the party at home. For the unity
of our party in t*he State and by means
of that Unity a reunited and triumph-
I ant party in the nation I shall stand
j steadily. Nothing else counts. No
| personal or factional ambitions should
| for a moment be tolerated. The Re
| publican forces that demanded ad
> vanced legislation in the past, and
I failing to obtain it, led to our broken
[Columns in 1912. must be met in the
i spirit of fraternity, fairness and jus
tice. They rightly demand this.
They justly are entitled to It. Without
this we are defeated before the con
test begins. As Lincoln, using a Bible
j utterance, declared, a house divided
against itself must fall. The Repub
' lican house united is assuredly victors
ious.
As to my own part in this situation
; I must be clearly understood. I have
! no ambition for any office, and person
jally shall be content to continue to
! serve the people of Pennsylvania in
| the place they have so generously
; given me. If, however, it is manifest
{that my name in the preferential pri
mary is necessary to bring about a
united Republican party in the State,
1 would count it a duty to lay aside
my personal preferences an 9 accept
an honorable service in behalf of the
people of Pennsylvania, who manifest
ly are most anrious to have the State
properly and unitedly represented at
! the Chicago convention. T shall do
this reluctantly and only with the defi
nite understanding that if at any time
1 it becomes evident that some one else,
I from a sister State, holding the same
| advanced ideals of Republicanism that
; animates our people in Pennsylvania,
has assurances of substantial support
from a reunited party I shall gladly
| and promptly urge my friends to give
; such candidate their hearty support.
It is not important that any one
candidate he steadfastly supported. It
i Is absolutely vital that the divergent
j forces in the party get together upon
:an advanced program of unselfish
service to reawakened Republicanism;
and. laying aside all other considera
tions, join heartily in bringing to pass
j a decisive victory under the ablest
i leadership which the party in a na
tion-wide canvass may find best fitted
|to give to the American people the
complete program of lofty service to
; which they are entitled, and for which
I the Republican party must pledge it
[ self to make its record worthy of its
I splendid achievements to the nation
since the days of Lincoln. Yours
| very truly,
M. G. BRUMBAUGH.
CARRANZA SAYS IN
NOT BE TOLERATED UNLESS HIS
DEMANDS IN NOTE
By Associate J Press
Mexico City, March 12. General
Carranxa to-night issued a manifesto
j to the notion declaring that .under no
! circumstances would the Mexican gov
ernment grant the right to the I'nited
States to violate Mexican territory by
j sending in an armed force in pursuit
of Villa without consent and the re
| eiprocal privilege being first obtained
I and admitted.
The manifesto follows:
I "Because of the assault which Fran
cisco Villa and the bandits who accom
panied him made on the town of Co
; lumbus, in American territory, burn
ing houses and killing some of the in
habitants, soldiers as well as civilians,
the international situation in these
moments is very delicate, as the North
1 American press have excited their
people against Slexico. and the govern
ment of that country has discussed the
I situation in the American Congress,
1 members of which have advised inter
! ventlon.
1 "The constitutional government
| which I have the honor to represent
is also occupied diligently in an effort
to solv; this dedicate situation, trying
at all costs to maintain the dignity and
sovereignty of Mexico, and we yet
hope that tlds lamentable Incident may
be decorously arranged, and that there
"^vill be no reason for an international
conflict.
Cites Precedents
"I have addressed the government
of the United States through the for
eign office, stating that the invasion of
Villa has historical precedents, as in
the years 18S0 and 1886 two parties
of Indians coming from the United
States invaded Sonora and Chihuahua,
j committing crimes and depredations
on the lives and properties of Mex
-1 icans.
i "It was then agreed between the
! governments of the two countries to
permit the respective passage of armed
forces, resulting in the extermination

; any change of General Funston's in
'< structions to proceed with the pursuit -
! of Villa in his own way and at such
time as he thought best.
Not Addressed to l". S.
Army officials who studied the Car
i ranza manifesto were convinced that
it was not intended as a communica
tion to the United States in any sense.
The head of the defacto government,
| they pointed out, was in a delicate po-
I litieal position, forced to satisfy con-
I fiicting elements among his own ad
i herents in whatever course he pur
! sued. It was admitted, however, that
' if Carranza enforced the sentiments
expressed in his manifesto the pursuit
! of Villa might be hampered seriously.
Senators Stone and Saulsbury of the
Foreign Relations Committee, dis
cussed the Mexican situation with
President Wilson to-day and learned
the President believes he can make a
reciprocal arrangement for pursuit of
bandits on either side of the boundary
without the consent of the Senate.
The President has under considera
tion one proposal from a member of
the cabinet that a zone forty miles
wide be established along the boun
dary between Mexico and the United
States in which authorities of both na
tions would have the right to pursue
outlaws. Members of the Foreign Re
: lations Committee have investigated
the question of allowing Mexicans to
cross into the United States to pursue
bandits, and it was said to-day that
no objection is likely in the Senate if
the President makes a temporary ar
rangement with General Carranza.
When a reply is sent to Carranza's
suggestion a definite time limit for the
agreement probably will be proposed.
U. S. Soldiers Are Not
Ready to Enter Mexico in
Search of Gen. Villa
San Antonio, Texas, March 13.—N0
| movement of t lie expeditionary force
that will search for Francisco Villa is
probable to-day, Major-General Funs
i ton announced this morning.
The general said preparations for
(the expedition were going on despite
| General Carranza's notification to the
i Washington government that lie would
not consent to American troops enter
| ing Mexico unless Carranza troops
I were allowed to enter the United
: States.
It was officially announced that
Brigadier-General John J. Pershing
will command the expeditionary forces.
General Funston said he had re
ceived no notification from Washlng
j ton to hold back the expedition while
i negotiations were being completed
i with General Carranza.
; General Funston said that the an
nouncement of the pjxpedition's actual
! start into Mexico probably would come
from General Pershing to whom would
!be left the decision as to the exact
i hour for setting the movement afoot.
Shortage of rolling stock General
! Funston said was hindering the con
centration of cavalry at the base of
operations and this was one reason
why a movement to-day was unlikely,
j The fault, he said, lay with the rail
roads west of El Paso.
"We have even had to transport
men in boxcars," he declared. "If
this had been merely an information
expedition we could have been into
. Mexico on Villa's very heels, but this
is largely a cavalry movement and
, that is why there has been delay."
Light was thrown on the size of the
I expeditionary force by the general
who said: ,
"When this movement is completed
there will be only six or eight regi-
I ment left in the United Stales other
than those troops stationed along the
border for patrol duty."
There will be no infantry or cavalry
| movements from Fort Sam Houston
| for the present, it was announced to-
I day. The first aero squadron went
j forward to KlPuso this morning.

helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to

of the Indians. I have asked the
American government to pursue a like
course in order to solve future difficul
ties, should they arise, noting that :
Villa and his companions are a group ,
of bandits, whose acts the Mexican I
government or people would not 'lie !
responsible for, and that his reproach- j
able conduct is due to instigation of '
the reactionary element, that, lacking
patriotism, and convinced of its defeat,
is trying by all means to bring on
armed intervention.
"I have not yet received the answer
of the American government and from
the reports of my friends along the I
frontier 1 learn that American forces 1
are mobilizing to pursue and capture
and deliver him to the Mexican au- j
thorlties: that the expedition is in the
nature of a punitive campaign and j
that the sovereignty of Mexico will be I
respected.
Invasion Would Be Outrage
"The constitutional government has i
given instructions to its confidential !
agent at Washington immediately to
make representations that under no j
circumstances will any motive, be the'
reasons or explanations of the United j
States what they may, justify the j
armed invasion of Mexican territory 1
without reciprocal rights being granted j
to the Mexicans, and that not for an
instant will the Invasion of Mexican
territory or an outrage to its dignity
be tolerated.
"I am sure that in this I interpret
the national sentiment and that the j
Mexican people will worthily comply I
with their duty, be the sacrifices what j
they may. to sustain their rights and j
sovereignty, if, unfortunately, we are >
dragged into a war, which the United
States never can justify, we will not be '
responsible for the disastrous conse
quences. but yill serve as instruments ,
for Mexican traitors within or with
out our country, who have labored
long to produce this result, and upon
their heads will fall the inexorable
justice of the Mexican people."
Equipment For 10,000
Troops Sent From Phila.
Philadelphia, March 13.—Twenty ,
; carloads of clothing and equipment to
supply the needs of 10.000 United
■ States soldiers in a campaign in Mexi
co, were shipped late last night from
the Schuylkill Arsenal here to the)
Mexican border. The exact destina
tion of the shipment cannot be rc-:
vealed by Col. George H. Vanrose, ;
I Vanrose, commandant of the arsenal.
A rush order for the material was
received from Washington at noon
Sunday and by 10 o'clock last night
the cars had been loaded and left the
arsenal yard in two trains. Employes
of the arsenal were summoned from
their homes to do the work of sorting
and packing the goods. Each of the
10,000 units of clothing contained
every kind of uniform apparel, from
hats to shoes.
Presidio Headquarters Are

After Cavalry Leaves
Monterey, Cal.. March 13.—The liead
j quarters of the Monterey presidio was
| destroyed by fire early to-day, about
' six hours after being vacated by troops
| of the First Cavalry, who left for the
Mexican border. Firemen attempting
to extinguish the flames found that the
; water supply had been shut off at the
source.
The headquarters safe and the con
tents of the post office were saved; all
other records were destroyed,
i Major James G. Harboard, in charge I
of the post, refused to discuss the I

Much weight was given by military
authorities, it became known, to the'
fact that the fire started in the head

1,100 Troops Now Gathered
at Columbus For Start of
Expeditionary Force
By Associated Press
El Paso, Texas, March 13.—Daylight
i to-day revealed the beginning of the
expeditionary force which the United
1 States army is gathering along the
border west of here for the pursuit of
: Francisco Villa Six mountain guns,
unloaded during the night, were in
| readiness at Columbus, N. M., the
| scene of Villa's raid, and the first arm
ed camp to develop evidences that it
! lias been selected as one of the start
ling points for a pursuit column. Fifty
seven carloads of battery mules and
i transport animals, also arrived during
! the night, give evidence that more
gdns were coming. Eleven hundred
men were in the Columbus camp this
I morning.
| Along 200 miles of the border west
jof here troop trains were reported
! passing various points during the
j night, the result of orders issued Fri
day by the. War Department. What
•points except Columbus that might be
used to assemble pursuit columns
were not developed, but considerable
. activity was noted on the Arizona bor
der near Nogales, and also In the vi
cinity of a small Mexican settlement
called San Bernardino. In that re
! gion several troops of cavalry were re
ported in readiness for action. A col
i unin entering Mexico from one of
these Arizona border points would
have a fairly direct route to the moun
tain passes in Sonora, through which
apprehension has been expressed that
Villa might escape from the Chihua
hua territory into which he has re-
| treated.
I Find Cannon on dills
j Nogales reported that a few cannon
I had been discovered in the Mexican
j hills facing the American boundary
! near there, but elsewhere along the
j line where the American troops were
i gathered no signs of disquieting ac-
I tivlty along the Mexican side were
| reported. Reports here that army
' officers at Columbus were puzzled at
t he attitude of Carranza troops a few
tulles across the boundary, were flatly
denied upon Investigation. The army
information was that 2t»o Carranza
'.roups had gathered at Pulomas, about
12 miles across the line from Colum
bus, and that the conduct of these
j troops was exemplary. These Palo
mas troops were part of a great ring
which Carranza officers at Matamoros
say they are drawing about the desert
and mountain refugees of Villa. The
northern sector of this ring appears
to be gathering in a position to make
it rest between Villa and the assem
! bllng American columns on the Am
; erican side of the border.
Mormon Colonist* Safe
Reliable information has been re
ceived from American sources that the
j western side of the ring has been
much strengthened especially in the
| direction of the 500 American Mormon
I colonists near ("'asas Gr.inrtes, nbput
17 i miles south of the border where j
' Villa's maneuvers have raised the
fear that he intended to attack the
Americans. The Oarranza authorities
have not reported any movement ot
their ring to draw inward to enclose
i Villa, but have pointed out that lack
of railroad facilities hampers them
|in more speedy action. Reports about
'Villa's activity were hazy but Corral
itos, within striking distance of the
railroad by which the Mormons might
return to the United States re
mained the last point from which he
j had been definitely reported.
Arrest Four lieneiuls
Aiding the military, other branches
Jof the government service were ac
tive throughout the night on ramlflca
itions of Francisco Villa's trail. The
drag for Villa sympathizers in El Paso
last night resulted In the arrest of four
generals, one general's secretary, a
; physician, and an American. The
generals, all former Villa commanders, i
were Manuel Medinaveltia, once chief
jof staff; Pulio Fabela, Samuel Rodrl
| guez and Juan Rodriguez. The Amer
ican gave his name to the police as
IS. A. Talbott. The physician, Dr. Vll
fareal, was formerly an active Villa
I worker. General Medinaveltia was
(the man whom A jlla sent, to Juarez to
: execute General Tomas Ornelas, Juar
ez commander, whom Villa suspected
|of treachery. Ornelas escaped but a
! short time ago Villa caught him on a
railroad in Mexico and fulfilled his
! own orders.
Villa Fleeing Back to
Hills Where He Started
His Days as An Outlaw
Columbus, N.M., March IS.—Actual
I concentration of United States troops
for an expedition into Mexico to try
ito capture Francisco Villa was be
igun here to-day.
Frotn heavy troop movement to Col

officers on station here, that this point

It was believed here that John J. Per

i ing his fprces to a total of 2,000. By
to-night or to-morrow, it is expected
( that the American garrison here of
1 1,100 men will be augmented by the
arrival of two regiments of infantry,
! a signal company a hospital detach
ment and some mountain artillery
from Fort Bliss, or El Paso and a
[ Battery of the Sixth field artillery

' ]of the 1 2th cavalry from Fort Robin
' < son, Neb., are expected later. All
■ | save the cavalry from Fort Robinson.
' which is to go on station here, are ap
'' '• parently to be available for expedi
tionary purposes. Information receiv
; ed at headquarters here also indi
' | cates that Lieutenant Colonel B. C.
• Cabell, of the Tenth cavalry, will ar
' rive soon from Douglas, Ariz., pre
sumably to act as adjutant for the
j force to leave Columbus.
I In striking contrast to the excite
' I ment of the last few days, preparation
for the departure of the expedition
ptogresed to-day with regularity and
I calm.
If is not expected here that the ex
pedition to enter Mexico, at least
from this point, will be started for
[ several days because of the poor rail
r road facilities with which to coneen
! trate the troops.
Meanwhile, Francisco Villa, with
' hut a small body of men, it. is re
• 1 ported here, is fleeing farther front
| the United States border daily and
; into the mountains which parallel the
[ border of Chihuahua and Sonora to
' ward Gyerrero, where his days as an
outlaw began and where to almost
! every peon, "pancho" Villa is a hero.
I Army men here point out that once
back in the mountains among his
,; friends, the pursuit of Villa is apt to
; resemble a game of hide and seek.
''Some officers believe that the pursuit
1 may be a matter of months.

with four three-inch lleld guns and 12

pffi ■! jj agriculture and do-,
GMMSSSSSSMBI mestic service were
exempted from em
ployers' liability, but tho Hoard ruled i
that special branches should come un
der the law and the men engaged in j
fruit raising, stock raising, dairy farm- .
Ing and similar pursuits would have j
to assume liability for employes.
The question has now been raised
whether the law intended to exempt |
men engaged in raising vegetables for j
market, truck gardeners and the like
are to be classed with men commonly
engaged in farming who have rotation
of crops, raise a variety of produce
and cattle, have barns and who are
popularly classed as farmers. John
A. McSparrun, of Lancaster county,
worthy master of the State Grange, is
to argue the matter with the Hoard.
The following week the Hoard will
sit to hear appeals, the first one be
ing whether a man delivering goods
after store hours and injured at that!
time forms a case for compensation, i
Commissioner John A Scott, of In-!
Diana, who has been ill in Philadel
phia, is improving and may soon sit
with the Board.
The Turnpike Appeal. Consider
able attention has been attracted here
by the appeal to the Superior court of
the York and Maryland bine Turnpike
company from the decision of the
Public Service Commission that it i
must improve its road because of the |
interests of public safety, the obliga
tion being held to rest on turnpike i
companies as well as other public
I corporations. The company, which
j has an old charter, will resist the or
| der and force a test.

help it." Or, "I worry because I have
to much to worry about."
We all have our troubles and worry, of
course, makes matters worse. The patient
fpnerally recognises this fact Without be
ug influenced in any way by it.
The Joe tor who could meetthisnervoua
eoi.dition and cure it would bo the mo?t
popular medical man alive. But ho can
not do because the form of nervous ex
haustion known asneurasthenia, of which
worry is a characteristic symptom, must
be cured by the patient himself. That is
why you should write today for the book
"Diseasesof the Nervous System" and
read the chapter on"Neurasthenia." So

giving the treatment a trial and being
benefited," that the Dr. Williams Medi

True Secret of Keeping
Youthful Looking
(The Beauty Seeker.)
"The real secret of keening young-looking
and beautiful," aays a well-known hygionint,
"is to keep the liver and bowela normally
•ctive. Without these requisite*, poisonoua
waste products remain in the system, pollut
ing the blood and lodging in various organs,
tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese,
nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled
and sallow of face.
"But to get liver and bowels working as
tkey ought, without producing evil after-effect!
has been the problem. Fortunately, there is
a prescription of unquestioned merit, which
| may now be had in convenient tablet form.
Its value ia due largely to an ingredient de
! rived from tho humble May apple, or its root,
1 which has been called 'vegetable calomel' be
; cause of ita effectiveness —though, of course, it
i is not to be classed with the real calomel of
mercurial origin. There ia no habit-forming
I constituent in 'sentanel' tablets—that's tha
name —and their use is not followed by weak-
I ness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these
harmless vegetable tableta tend to impart ton®
| and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall.
fientanel tablets, which may be procured from
i any druggist—a dime's worth will do —will
Srove a revelation to any constipated, liver
-oubled person."
| The Constipation Curse |
Constipation - clogged bowels
cause pain and sickness; 95 per
cent of our ills, say the authorities.
Sentanel Laxatives bring quick
relief. All vegetable contain no
calomel. Ten doses for a dime at
any druggists. Physician's sample
