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.
Mr. Slotkin brought ninety-five of
the birds from Northern Mexico after
an exciting experience with Villistas.
Half a dozen fully armed bandits fired
upon them. Mr. Slotkin and his chum
George Gleason, jumped from their
automobile and tried to fight off the
bandits but the latter, after vainly
trying to operate the automobile, fled.

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.

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. Lycoming. Mercer,
j Susquehanna, Wayne and Westmore
! land counties have been reported to
: us as being carried by the Governor.

retary Baker that the Carranza gov
ernment now is convinced the United
States lias no intention of Intervening
in Mexican politics, and that conse
quently resentment against the puni
tive expedition is rapidly decreasing.
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.
