Villa Bandit Parrots May "Cuss You Out" Should you drop into the Kaufman Underselling stores in Market Square Friday and Saturday and attempt to tease the gaily plumaged parrots on promenade there, you'll probably wonder what the slurring of the "r's" in their speech might mean. 'Tis simple: "Ca-r-r-r-amba!" is undoubtedly what they'll he trying to say. It's a Mexican cussword. Furthermore, it's the kind of talk Villa followers use; for the parrots are all from Villa country. Jack X. Slotkin. salesman ager of the Atlantic and Pacific Bird Company, Chicago, says so himself.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, RETURNS POINT TO VICTORY FOR PENROSE [Continued From First Page.] the result of the primary, so far as it relates to the national •crisis, will be the absolute reuniting of the Republi can protection forces of the State and country. The essential purpose of our effort was the election in November of a Republican president and a Republi can Congress. "Party unity Is essential to party success. To labor for this end was surely proper. The State-wide primary is designed to give voters just this opportunity. The citizens who yester day voted the Republican ballot' ex pressed their means of accomplishing this result, and it Is gratifying to note that so many voters agreed with us; "The results in detail will afford much food for thought, much data for wise and patriotic action." Men familiar with State politics declared that the total vote for Re publican delegates-at-large in Phila delphia. if close, would indicate what the State would do on the delegation at large. In other words, they held that if Brumbaugh did not lead Pen rose for delegate-at-large by over iO,- 000 his chances in the State would be slim. Associated Press dispatches show that Governor Brumbaugh received 69,861 votes for Republican delegate at large In Philadelphia and Senator Penrose 63.989. These returns are complete. The returns from other counties of the State are fragmentary. It may be to-night before any official statement of the result on delegates at large can be made.

EARLY ESTIMATE ♦ Philadelphia, May 17.—Interest in the first presidential preferential pri mary election in Pennsylvania yester day was overshadowed by the congest for the leadership of the Republican party in the State, in which United States Senator Boies Penrose appar ently was victorious over Governor Brumbaugh after one of the bitterest fights in the history of the organ ization. The fight centered on the office of Auditor General and the re turns at an early hour to-day indi cated the nomination of State Senator Charles A. Snyder, representative of the Penrose element, over Charles A. Ambler, standard bearer of the Brum baugh forces, by a comfortable margin. Penrose Faction Ahead In the fight for the election of twelve delegates-at-large to the Re publican national convention the Pen rose faction apparently elected the majority, if not all, of its candidates. Leaders of the Brumbaugh element, however, claimed the election of sev eral of their candidates, including the Governor and Mayor Smith, of Phila delphia. The Brumbaugh candidates are pledged to support the popular choice of the party in the State while the Penrose delegates aVe uninstructed Included in the Penrose list of dele gates-at-large are Joseph G. Arm strong. Mayor of Pittsburgh; James Elverson. Jr., publisher of the Phila delphia Inquirer: Alba B. Johnson, Philadelphia, president of the Bald win Locomotive Works; Guy T. Moore, editor of the Wilkes-Barre Record; United States Senator George T. Oli ver. Pittsburgh; Senator Penrose and John Wanamaker, Philadelphia, for mer postmaster general. Counting Slow Counting of the votes was-very slow owing to the enormous size of the bal lot and returns received from the State up to 7 a. m. were meager. There were only two candidates on the presidential preferential ballots. on the Democratic and Governor Brumbaugh on the Re publican. but Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, received a surprisingly large number of votes by the use of stickers, a million of which had been distributed throughout the State by his business agents and associates. In many districts it was found that Democrats had voted for Ford while rumors were current before the elec tion that the leaders of the Penrose faction in the Republican party favor ed the Ford support as a means of reducing the vote of Governor Brum baugh and possibly prevent the Gov ernor from becoming the popular choice of his party in the State. Many Scattered Votes. Former President Roosevelt, United States Supreme Court Justice Hughes and others received a scattered vote from admirers who wrote in their : names. Former Congressman A. Mitchell j Palmer, the present Democratic na tional committeemen from Pennsylva- I nia, was successful in his fight for re -election, defeating Michael Liebel, Jr.. !of Erie, by a large majority. All of the candidates of the Palmer faction ! for delegate-at-large to the Democra tic National convention were elected. They were pledged to support the re nomination of President Wilson. Philander C. Knox was unopposed for the Republican nomination for United States Senator to succeed Sen j ator Oliver, while Harmon M. Kephart j was chosen the Republican nominee for State Treasurer. J. Emery Wall ing* of Erie county, was named for lof the State Supreme Court on the nonpartisan ticket. Philadelphia Fx>ans Passed In Philadelphia interest in the pas sage of the 5114.400.000 loan bills for rapid transit and other municipal im provements overshadowed the general j primary. The loans were approved by I a large majority. t | j Wards owing allegiance to Congress i man William S. Vare and his brother. State Senator Edwin H. Vare, rolled I up tremendous majorities for Gover ; nor Brumbaugh in the preferential j presidential vote and for Brumbaugh and other candidates for delegate-at large who opposed the candidates sup ported by Senator Penrose. On the other hand, wards in which the or ganization of State Senator James P. McNicho! and Penrose were in control, the name of the Governor received scant consideration, several of them giving majorities In favor of Henry ford. Ambler Wins in Philadelphia The complete vote for Philadel phia for Auditor General was: Ambler, "5,035; Snyder. 66,117. Majority for Ambler in the city 8,918. The vote on the loans was: For the transit loan, 163,599 for; 39,762 againrt. For the general improvement loan, 134,031 for; 39,720 against. BURKS COUNTY By Associated Press Reading, Pa., May 17.

Brumbaugh Chiefs Claim Majority of Delegates The Brumbaugh headquarters is sued the following statement about noon: "Incomplete returns from twenty one counties this morning, indicate the election of the Brumbaugh delegates at-large and a clear majority of the district delegates, pledged to Gover nor Brumbaugh. "There was a terrific storm in the southern, western and northern sec tions of the State and the vote in those counties was very light. The counties heard from, however, indi cate that the Governor's friends Jiave won in practically all of them. The majority in Philadelphia for Ambler over Snyder will be about 25,- 000. Taking this as a basis it is fair to presume that about ten of the iwelve delegates-at-large favorable to Governor Brumbaugh had similar ma jorities which it will be impossible for the Penrose delegates to overcome in the rest of the State. Of the district delegates elected in Philadelphia, eight of the twelve are favorable to the Governor. '•ln Allegheny county, five of the eight district delegates are favorable I to the Governor, but the returns on the delegates-at-large are so lno®m plete that no accurate Idea of the re- I suit is possible. The Indications are, 1 however, that the Governor's friends i will carry the county by a small ma jority. In l.ackawanna there was a j majority of at least two to one in fa vor of the Governor's friends. "In addition to these, Beaver, Blair, 1 Bradford. Chester, Clearfield, Clinton, i Fulton. Juniata.

General Scott, chief of staff of the army, brought this word to Secretary Baker from his conference at EI Faso with General Obregon, war minister for the Carranza government. Among the promises made by General Obregon with the approval of General Carranza at the conclusion of the conference were theses: l > romiscs of Obregon "Ten thousand selected Mexican troops were to patrol the territory about Parral, the southernmost locality from which American troops are being withdrawn, and to search diligently for Villa or his bandits. "A strong .Mexican force was to try to capture the Glenn Springs and Bo qulllas raiders In the Big Bend district and to liberate Deemer. the American storekeeper, carried off by the bandits. "No Mexican troops were to be moved from Sonora State through Pulpit Pass, to the rear of General Pershing's column. "General Scott's part of the Infor mal pact did not include any promises of American troop withdrawal at a definite time. "General Scott expressed the opinion that General Carranza and his war minister have ordered speedy troop movements in an attempt to carry out their pledges." U. S. Soldiers Rescue Men Held by Raiders By Associated Press Marathon, Texas, May 17.—United States soldiers have rescued Jesse Deemer, the American storekeeper captured by Mexican raiders on Glenn Springs and Boquillas, Texas, accord ing to a nrnn named Terry, who ar rived here to-day. Terry said the soldiers entered a village 125 miles in Mexico and the bandits rushed out. leading Deemer and a captive negro named Monroe Payne. Payne and Deemer are being brought back to Texas, Terry said. Their rescue alive, It is said, was due to the refusal of the residents of the village, where they had been left, to carry out the orders of the bandits to kill them if the American troops at tempted their rescue. The report came from Colonel Fred- j erlck Sibley, who received his itifor- j mation from Major L.anghorne, whose command now Is about 100 miles south of the border. A detachment of Major Langhorne's force found the Americans at El Paso, 90 miles south of Boquillas early yesterday. The Americans had been left there by their captors In charge of the residents. None but the unarmed inhabitants of the town was there when the Ameri can soldiers arrived and no resistance was made. Major Langhorne reported to Col. Sibley that he was pushing forward and hoped to overtake the bandits during the day. He added that no federal troops had been encountered and that the attitude of the residents in the territory through which he had passed appeared friendly. Ten Chinamen in Mexico Killed For Dealing With U. S. By Associated Press Columbus, N. M., May 17.—Stories of the murder of ten Chinese mer chants at San Antonio, Mexico, by bandits believed to have been follow ers of Villa, were brought to the border to-day by returning truckmen. According to the stories, the Chinese had been selling supplies to the Am ericans and were killed immediately after the withdrawal of the American troops. Mexicans in the district occupied by the Americans have been warned that they would be killed if they dealt with the Americans and it is believed here that the slaughter of Chinese was intended as a warning to the na tive population. Rumors that typhus had broken out among Mexicans at Casas Grandes were received at the base camp. It was said that several stores were closed but no cases among Americans were known. New Army Pistol Responsible For Big Mexican Casualties By Associated Press Field Headquarters, May 8, by Army Motor Train to Columbus, N. M., May 17. The high mortality of Mexican bandits in the Ojo Azules fight last Friday when Major Robert L. Hoze's command killed 55 Villa bandits, was credited by ollicers here to-day in part of the effectiveness of the new army automatic. 45 caliber pistol. Most of the fighting was done with pistols by the Americans who ran down the ban dits at close range. The blow from the big .45 lead bul let is said to be nearly sufficient in itself to stagger a horse. Accuracy is the strong point.of this pistol. In former type of army pistols, the men found that each "weapon was a trifle off from absolute accuracy on account of gas in the chambers, so that in shooting at a bull's eye, it was necessary to aim a little to the right or left, according to the bias of the particular guns. The new pistols shoot point blank at more than a hundred yards. The briefest report of the fight was that brought back to the advanced base by Sergeant Chicken, the oldest of the twenty Apache Indian scouts. Xo one with this expedition seems to know Sergeant Chicken's age which is estimated at from 70 to 90. He was in the van during the pistol battle, where his experiences were said to be thrilling. When urged to tell what he knew, Sergeant Chicken said: "Him damn fine fight." Further details he refused to dis close.
