10 TRAINi LOADED WITH STATE TROOPS SWEEP SOUTHWARD AS WASHINGTON GIVES CARRANZA 48 HOURS TO REPLY NO EMERGENCY SENATE FINDS President Directly Authorized to Draft Militia Organizations Into Federal Service Special to the Telegraph Washington. D. C., June 27. Emasculated and amended, the Senate last night passed the Hay joint resolu tion or the House authorizing the President to draft members of the Na tional Guard into the militia service of the United States. Two important provisions of the measure over which the House ■ought are eliminated from the resolu tion to which the Senate agreed. The Senate struck out the clause which expresses the opinion of Congress that an emergency exists and which wu..< so framed as to place responsi bility upon the Senate and House and directly authorizes the President to cirat't the militia organizations into Federal service. It also removed from the measure the appropriation of sl,- 000,000 to be paid at the rate of SSO a month to the dependents of the guardsmen. li; place of the latter provision the Senate accepted an amendment re ported by the Committee on Military Affairs providing that under regula tions to be prescribed by the Secretary of War a guardsman who has a depen dent family may be excused upon his own application from the draft and honorably discharged from service, such discharge to act as a furlough from the National Guard unless in the discretion of the Secretary of War he is f.iven a final discharge. The word "family" Is defined to in- ; elude wife, children, dependent mother, father, sisters or brothers under the age of 14 years. The action was taken to-night after the measure i had been under consideration by the j Senate for seven hours.

Wealthy Mexicans Who Supported Villa, Tender Their Aid to Carranza By Associated Press El Paso. June 27. Evidence that the possibility of war with the United States has healed the breach between the Carranza and Villa factions in Mexican politics continued to increase i here to-day. More than one hundred wealthy Mexicans, who. prior to the surrender of the Villa garrison of Juarez last January, had been active In supporting the bandit leader, and who since have been refugees In El Paeo, crossed the Rio Grande and ap parently were received in good favor by authorities of the de facto govern- ' ment. Hand bills, printed in Spanish, as serting that Villa himself had been pledged to support the Carranza gov ernment in the event of a break with the United States were circulated in Juarez and to some extent in the Mexican quarter of El Paso. All reports indicated however, that the bandit chieftain has not yet joined the con stitutionalist forces, but with a body of his troops, is somewhere in the Rio Florido district of Southern Chihuahua awaiting developments in the crisis. General Manuel Medlnavietia, form erly Villa's chief of staff, and General Jose Ysabel Robles. minister of war In the Guiterrez cabinet, were guests to-day of General Francisco Gonzales, commandant in Juarez. It was re ported here that they, both of whom have directed extensive military cam paigns in Northern Chihuahua are to be assigned to important commands in General Trevino's army of the North. Bandits Given Commit wis Private advices here to-day said that several hundred men of the force of ten thousand Mexican troops, which have been concentrated at Bustillos, 70 miles west of Chihuahua City for the ostensible purpose of blocking any attempted American advance down the Mexican Northwestern Railway toward the capital, formerly were members of bandit bands, scattered and broken by General Pershing's 'troops. Operating in conjunction with them. It was said, are the command of Calexico Contreras and Canuto Reyes, former Villa leaders, who recently were granted amnesty by General Trevino. Well-informed Mexicans here said to-day they had been told that only a few of the Cientifico faction, the former wealthy land holders of the republic are still under the ban of authorities of the de facto govern ment. General Marcelo Carraveo, for mer Orozco leader and adherent of Huerta, is now occupying a command at the Mexican field base at Villa Aliumada. With the American demands before Carranza the heaviest guard yet main tained was bivouaced about the two international bridges last night. From the Mexican side came reports that practically the entire former garrison was withdrawn to Villa Ahumada, 83 miles south. It is said a large com mand is entrenching there.

TUESDAY EVENING, HOW'S YER ARM? CRY AT GRETNA Everybody Nursing Sore Spots Where the Vaccine "Took" [From a Staff Coirwpondent.] Headquarters, Companies D and I, Eighth regiment. Camp Brumbaugh, 'Mt. Gretna, June 27. "How's yer arm?" "Sign up Yet?" "Wonder when we're going." and similar topics were the principal subjects discussed by the Harrisburg "boys" In camp yesterday and to-day. Inoculation and vaccination yester day gave the men a chance to get a much needed rest after the busy week end, and the fellow in camp who didn't have a sore arm was mighty unpopu lar, particularly with the ones who had bandages over their shoulders In dicating that the vaccine "had took." Put "Rookies" to Work The "rookies" arrived yesterday, and the first job they had was cleaning "P the companies' streets. And woe to the unfortunate "rookie" who absent mindedly threw paper or refuse on the "streets." The privates instantly called a council, and decided his fate. The "fate" included running the gauntlet or a ducking in the lake nearby. Little drilling was done because of the inoculation, and in every tent several men were sound asleep at all hours of the day. With the arrival of the "rookies" of the Harrisburg companies, uniforms were given out. All who have taken the oath are anxious to leave for the border as soon as possible and when the news reached D and I headquar ters that the first will leave to-night or to-morrow, excitement reached a fever pitch as the men discussed the next probable brigade to be called. Thousands of people have visited Camp Rrumbaugh. among them many Harrisburgers including friends and relatives of the local men. Despite the hindrance of the hundreds of peo ple, all of the minor details in the camp were completed and prepara tions made for the new recruits who arrived yesterday. A Tired Bunch Although the heat and hard work caused illness among some of the guardsmen in other regiments, all of the Harrisburg "boys" stood the strain and hard work, but they were a tired bunch. A rumor that practically the entire troop had refused to enter the govern ment- service was circulated, but Cap tain Jack instantly denied the report and exhibited the muster roll of the men who had signed. The Harris burg Troop was the first one to report one hundred men enlisted for cavalry service. The other troops, however, are gradually increasing their quota. The Troop is located almost two miles away from the Harrisburg in fantrymen's camp. At the cavalry camp the water supply is poor be cause the pipes are run on the ground and the water is too warm for drink ing purposes. A few scouting parties soon located a fine spring nearby and a bucket brigade was formed. The Harrisburg troopers all are anx iously awaiting the call to go to Mex ico. and with few exceptions, had no objections to entering the Federal service. Gen.

Courier to Columbus, >,'. M., June 27. | —Francisco Villa was shot from the rear by a Mexican he had impressed i into his gang during the battle with Carranza troops at Guerrero, but his fate still is unknown. This information was contained in a semiofficial account obtained by Major Robert L. Howze. who was close on Villa's trail last April. Major Howze learned the details of the wounding of the bandit chieftain from one of the' Mexicans Villa drafted, and who af terward deserted. The details of the story agreed with; facts American officers obtained in I their pursuit of Villa and by their in-1 dependent secret service work, but i the account does not say whether the 1 bandit died or recovered. Villa, the Mexican deserter said, ex-' hibited every evidence of terror during the early stages of his flight, after the Americans had defeated his men at I Guerrero. The informant said he be- i lieved Villa, was dead, but if he still I were alive, he was in the State of Du-I rango, for which point he was headinge during his flight from General Per shing's men.

" The Mexican officials say there are 17, which would indicate that 23 Ameri cans were killed in the fight or died afterward. Private advices from Chi huahua City have it that there are 24 American prisoners in jail there and their uniforms have been stripped from them.

Gretna, ia., Junt 27. The most uncomfortable people on earth are those who refuse to sign enlistment papers. A number of guardsmen who refused to take the oath yesterday because of objections ol one kind or another were subjected to some pretty drastic treatment a - tnough in other instances the reasons which impelled the militiamen to de °i c , to K" further were respected. But the fact remains that men who did not enlist after coming here and pass ing tests and having names enrolled tor preliminary muster were unpopu i 1 some were given dishonorable discharges and refused transportation to their homes. In one instance a man who had re fused at the last minute to enlist so irritated his comrades who were filled with the war spirit that they doused n.m in uake Conewago. Another man was drummed out of camp, while in another instance another was stripped oi his uniform, given a pair of duck trousers, a pair of canvas shoes and a gym shirt and hustled to the train. I hese were instances wherein men had offended the spirit of their coin laaes by declining at half past th« eleventh hour. The men are bent on making a line showing in strength and as eager as Is General Clement to send tull ranks to the border. , Moving of the Troop ihe luck of the First Brigade and other organizations picked to go was the envy of the camp to-day and everyone was eager to find out who would be next in line. The men of .£ e o lrst had fun with the fellows in tho Second, which organization has had the top notch regiment and which is popularly supposed to have a long, sttong pull with the Secretary of War. The preparations for the moving of the soldiers went ahead last night and long troop trains were lined up in the station yards at Harrisburg to be shipped to this place late to-day. The Cornwall and Lebanon railroad has nn abundance of sidings and the yards are big and there will be little time lost in getting started when the final word is given. The railroads have placed the handling of the troops in the hands of R. C. Morse, of Broad Street Sta tion force. The railroads are organ ized into the American Railways As sociation and at each of the 127 camps throughout the country have a high official in charge. This is the first time this has ever been done and it will mean much when it comes to moving. Commissioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon is not allowing anything to go undone in the way of inspection. His imen have been going through the I camp and making suggestions for the | best and while some of them are not followed because of lack of funds, or time, or orders or something they demonstrate that Pennsylvania's com. missioner of health Is right on the Job, to use a slang phrase. Seme one with a fancy for working" out figures has estimated that the percentage of men of foreign birth or parentage in the Pennsylvania organ izations is about sixteen. But every one is a strenuous American. There would be short shrift for any hyphens) here. 1 The camp is costing the State of Pennsylvania about $25,000 a day ac cording to one estimate made here to day.
