several other large bodies of men dis- j
posed at convenient positions in the
continental divide and that Colonel
Dodd and his American troops may
come In contact with them at any
time. While the search for Villa con
tinues, Colonel Dodd will seek to de- ;
stroy armed bodies of Villa forces,
which are a constant menace to the
line of American communication.
There is no light on the recent op
erations of the Carrnnza forces against
the Villa bands. General Bertani has
sent no report to the Juarez head- I
quarters for several days and what j
assistance the troops of the de facto |
government are giving General Persh- i
Ing and his men is not known.
Nothing was said in the reports of |
Villa's alleged injuries, an omission ;
which helped to confirm the opinion j
already freely expressed on the bor- |
der that the bandit's wounds were an
invention of his own, reported with 1
the intention of deceiving his pur- ;
suers.
Hopes Arc Dashed
The absence of any official news
from the front since the defeat of the 1
Villa bandits near Guerrero has con
siderably dashed the hopes of those i
who saw in the victory the beginning
of the end of the bandit's career. At j
the same time, it is pointed out, tha„!
the American cavalrymen had a I
formidable task before them in search- ;
ing the barren mountain wastes where j
Villa is supposed to have taken refuge.
The fact that no further lighting lias'
been reported is taken as an indication |
lh«t the bandits have been effectually!
scattered by the American troopers.
Declare For Villa?
As usual in the lack of definite in
formation, the border is again a hive I
of rumors of an alarming and sensa- '
tional character. The majority of
these rumors are based on stories
Oiroiight from the interior by Mexicans
Wid the few Americans who straggle
in here by ones and twos daily. The j
most circumstantial of these stories f
at present deals with the reported de
fection of Colonel Cano, the Car- I
ranza. commander nt Xamlquipa.
Cano is the chief lieutenant of Gen- !
eral l.uis llerrera. who was supposed
to have declared against Carranza
several days ago, a report that was
vigorously denied, by the officials of
the de facto government.
There is something of a mystery at
tached to the movement of Mexican
troops at points close to the border
Jt is known that large bodies of Car
ranza 's soldiers have been moved from
• amps in the interior to various places
within twenty miles of the interna
tional line but no explanation has
been given of these manuevers bevond
a. general intimation that the de facto
government Is anticipating possible
action by the followers of Felix Diaz.
Washington Believes That
Col. Cano Has Bolted With
at Least Part of His Men
Ry Associated Press
Washington, April 3.—Keports that
Colonel Cano had deserted General
Carranra and joined Villa's bandit

the State and War Departments and it
was stated authoritatively (hat while
official intimation that Cano had re
volted had been received here, no
actual confirmation had come.
The impression prevailed that a
number of Cano's men were in the
light last Wednesday when Colonel
Dodd struck the bandits near Guer
rero.
Major General Funston has been in

HARRISBURG SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT IN REGULAR ARMY AND WON HONORS

Heroes of Spanish-American War
pictured above are, on the left,
Thomas P. Moran, of Harrisburg, who
has a good army record; on the right
at the top, the late John J. Moran.
with his faithful dog; and at the bot
tom, the late James T. Moran.
Harrisburg has a number of veter
ans, who have seen service at the
front, and are ready to take up arms
in defense of their country, if needed.
This is the opinion of William P. Mess
inger, department commander of the
United States War Veterans, who is
compiling a history of these war
heroes. He says their records leave
no doubt as to their ability as fighting
men.
Commander Messlnger will include
in his records all soldiers who enlisted
or entered the service from Dauphin
county and especially soldiers who
are members of Camp No. 8, Spanish-
War Veterans. lie says;
"In writing of men who served their
country in time of war, i take great
pleasure in referring to the late
Thomas D. Moran, Company D., One
Hundred and First volunteers, and his
three sons, James T., John J., and
Thomas P. Moran. The latter is the
only survivor of this family of war
heroes and he is ready to answer the
first call if needed.
"Thomas Day Moran. the father,
who served in Company D, One Hun
dred «nd First Pennsylvania Volun
teers In the War of the Rebellion, was
born in County Limerick, Ireland, in
1835. He emigrated to this country
in 1850 and settled in Harrisburg. He
married Bridget Grimes, who was
born in Dublin. Ireland. Eleven chil
dren were born, only two surviving,
Mrs. Theresa K. Saltsman and Thomas
P. Moran.
•Tames T. Moran
The eldest son, James T. Moran,
enlisted in Harrisburg in 18 78, being
assigned Lo the Seventh United States
Infantry at Fort Laramie. Wyoming.
He served ten years in Company B
and F, and also served an enlistment
in Company G, Tenth United States
Infantry at Fort Wingate, New Mex
ico.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out he enlisted in Company E,
Fifty-first lowa Volunteers, which was
one of the first regiments to reach
the Philippine Islands. He was mus
tered out at Manila and enlisted in
Colonel Bell's Thirty-sixth Regiment.
United Slates Volunteer Infantry, be
ing made quartermaster sergeant.
After his regiment was mustered out
at tlie Presidio of San Francisco, he
re-enlisted in the regulars again and
was sent back to Manila, being as
signed to the Fourteenth United
States Infantry.
After "Tim," as he was familiarly
known in Harrisburg, reached Manila
he was ordered to Join his regiment.
He boarded a Casco at Manila to take
a transport and was stricken down
with Asiatic Cholera. He died at a
detention camp in Manila and was
buried there. Six years later his body
was exhumed and brought to the
United States and burled at the
Presidio of San- Francisco.
John .1. Moran
Jchn J. Moran was born in this
city in Isi;i and enlisted in Troop A.
First United Stales Cavalry in 1881.
"Joe" as he was known, served ten
years as trumpeter in Troop A, First
United States Cavalry, and at the ex
piration of bis two five-year enlist
ments, in 1891 lie returned to Harris
burg and was employed as a brake
man on the Philadelphia division of
victorious Americans, details of the
puisuit are still lacking. Military au
thorities here are in-lined to believe
this means that Colonel George A.
Dodd's American cavalrymen are still
searching for the bandit leader in
some remote mountain wilderness of
Guerrero, far out of the communica
tion with the field base of Colonia
Dublan.
There was no official confirmation
of numerous rumors of developments
in the pursuit. Among these was one
that Villa had been caijiurcd and an
other that the bandit chieftain, seeing
that capture was inevitable, had com
mitted suicide.
Stockade l ; 'or Prisoners
The stockade to be erected here to
confine the prisoners captured at.
Guerrero will be of barbed wire,
hanging to which will be hundreds of
tin cans partly filled with pebbles.
Guards to be placed at intervals along
the fence would bo notified of any at
tempt to escape by the rattle of the
pebbles in the cans.
Some apprehension was expressed
here to-day in a jocular way that the
military authorities may be confronted
with a predicament similar to that of
Fort Bliss officials, who, in 1913 held
five tlrbusand Mexican refugee pris
oners. Word of the regular meals
given the prisoners, soon reached their
friends on the. outside with the result
that each morning at roll call a large
number responded than had answered
the day before.

Plan Unfair Competition
Legislation to Meet All
Conditions After War
Washington. D. C.. April 3.—Presi
dent Wilson and Majority Leader
Kitchln of the House to-day agreed on
the general terms of the anti-dumping
and unfair competition legislation to
meet conditions after the European
war. The ways and means committee
will put them in the. revenue bill,
which, Mr. Kitchin told the President,
would be ready for the House about
April 20.
I he anti-dumping legislation will be
along the seneral lines of that emili
natpfl from the present tariff law. On
foreign Roods to be sold in the United
Stales at less thnn the market price
in the country from which they are
shipped the new provision will impose
an additional tariff to bring the sell
ing price in the United States up to
what it would be if the Roods were
sold at. the market price in the foreign
country.
The unfair competition legislation
will be along the same lines as the
unfair competition sections of the
present law applying to unfair compe
tition in the United States.
The President and Mr. Kitchin dis
cussed protecting the newly grown
dyeatufi industry in the United States
from compelilion from abroad, but no
conclusion was reached. Mr. Kitchin
said he expected' an additional tariff
on dyestuffs would be imposed in the
revenue bill, but the details had not
been worked out.

ROTARIANS HEAR
OF CO-OPERATION
j
E. J. Staekpole Speaker at
Weekly Luncheon; Enter
tainment Is Planned
Seventy members were present and
James P. McCullough, superintendent
of The Telegraph Printing Company, ,
was chairman of the Rotary Clul>
luncheon at the Senate Hotel to-day. 1
The speaker was E. J. Staekpole, j
president of The Telegraph Printing
Company. Mr. Staekpole talked prin
cipally on individual and community:
co-operation.
"It Is a fortunate city that has back I
of It the push and energy of such an
organisation as the Rotary Club," said
Mr. Staekpole, "but after all it is not
so much the bite things that you do
that count. It is the good fellowship
you enjoy on occasions like this, the'
standing shoulder to shoulder in time !
of stress, the personal interest you 1
manifest in one another, the hand- :
clasp and the pat on the shoulder
that mean most, for life is made up of
just such little things. And when one
of you helps another or says a kind
word when a fellow member is in |
need of aid or a little encouragement,
the whole community is benefited, for
each of you is a unit and the strength
of the whole town depends upon the J
strength and ability to do of its con
stituents."
Mr. Staekpole spoke optimistically 1
of the ability of the country to weather
any storm, no matter what the future
may hold in that respect, and he said i
that in the trying times through which
the business of the country to-day is
passing businessmen are being tem- I
pered in the hot fire of preparedness'
for any future, no matter how trying
it may prove. Co-operation is the
keynote of the hour, he said, and cited
the recent getting together of Root
and Roosevelt as an example.
March 18, the Rotary Club will en
tertain Frank Harris, of Washington,
district governor, at luncheon and in
the evening at the Public Library.
Afterward a number of the members
will give a "performance" at Ihc Ma
jestic theater after the regular per
formance.

Chance of Peace Fade

j believed to end all chances of peace.
I This visit is described as follows in a
Philadelphia Dispatch to the Pitts

I Penrose, following an extended con
ference to-day with his Allegheny
[county and Pittsburgh leaders, was in
!a warlike mood and inclined at once
lo participate a state-wide tight on the
! Vare-Smith-Brumbaugh combination,
lie did not feel like compromising or
| yielding an inch to the Governor's
j Presidential candidacy and his desire
to have the Pennsylvania delegation
| to the national convention hitched to
:t he Vare-Brumbaugh star. As one of
i the Pittsburgh leaders phrased it:
'Piacc develops mollycoddles.'
"The Westerners were eager for a
! battle with the Governor. They were
: particularly interested for the reason
that they would like a chance to cross
political swords in Allegheny county
with William A. Magee. of the Public
Service Commission, tho Governor's
chief of staff in their county. They
were militant and especially so be
cause the city administration of Pitts
burgh stands back of them. All this
deeply Impressed Senator Penrose,
who has been confronted with peace
proposals. His conference developed
the fact, that many of his State lietl

Violence of Bombardment
Indicates That Germans
Will Make Another Try
My Associated Press
I Paris. April 3.—A new phase of the
j battle of Verdun has begun and the
belief prevails that the violence of tliej
latest attacks foreshadows another at
j tempt by the Germans to rush the
| fortress with vast forces. New bat-,
teries of large caliber have been
moved up closer to the Frencli front j
and the German infantry has been
rested and reorganized.
Yesterday's lighting on the whole
was not unfavorable lo the French, it 1
was authoritatively stated. The ob- j
jecl of the Germans was to clear the I
approaches to Fort Douaumont and j
15,000 men were thrown forward on
the mile and a half line between Dou
aumont fori and the village of Vaux.
The attacking force succeeded in j
crossing a little ravine which hitherto j
had stopped them and in entering:
the Cailette wood. Futher east they j
dislodged the French from the last i
ruined houses of the villago of Vaux. j
but the French positions were so
placed as to make it practically 1m- j
possible for the Germans to debouch i
from the village. Vigorous French I
counter attacks drove them back to j
the upper fringe of Cailette.

absorbing topic in political and busi
ness circles.
Man.v prominent Republicans fore
gathered at the Repul>licati Club ami
the. chief topic of animated discussion
when any two members sot together
was the Bacon luncheon. There were
many signed and unsigned interviews
given out. They all agreed that the
meeting presaged the complete recon
ciliation of the Republicans and Pro
gressives. Some went so far as to say
' that it meant the nomination of Roose
j veil at Chicago.
James H. Sheffield, president of the
club, said: "The only political sig
nificance of the luncheon seemed to
me to lie in the fact that the national
situation is so grave as to vinite strong
men. no matter what their differences.
In a determination lo elect a Presi
dent and a Congress pledged to na
tional honor and preparedness."

licans and Progressives when their
conventions meet in Chicago. 11 means
that the last bridge between tile fac
tions has been crossed."

President and Root as Secretary of
Slate met. general approval among the
Republican Club members.
