Federals Reported to
Be Concentrating Forces
Under Mas at Soledad
BY Associated Press

Washington. D. c., April 24.-The
War Department hustled with activity
to-day following the first actual move
n1ent of the army in the Mexican
crisis, the departure of the Fifth Bril-
gade of the First Division from Gal
weston by transport for Vera Cruz.
Major General Wood. designated to
take command of the troops in the
field. was in charge of the movement
and he received reports early stating
that the brigade had been shipped and
would leave later in the day.
Meantime the department was
busted with conditions on the Texas
border. Despite the friendly attitude
assumed by General Pancho Villa in
his statement yesterday, citizens of the
towns along the border were appre-
hensive, and the department received
several applications for additional bor-
der guards. General Wood and his
aids carefully scanned all information
as to the concentration of Constitution
alist forces in the neighborhood of
Juarez. where Villa is located.
Awaiting Arrival
President Wilson and his advisers
anXiously awaited word to-day of the
safe arrival of Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaughnessy at Vera Cruz. He left
Mexico City under special Mexican
guard during the night and Admiral
Badger had been ordered to give safe
conduct to his train through the
American lines.
General Mas Busy
Officials of the Navy and War De-
partments busted themselves will
IN
neighborhood of Vera Cruz. With the
Fifth Brigade. under General Funston,
at the Mexican seaport, there will be
concentrated force sufficient to hold
the city or to begin offensive op-
erations. General Mas. the Huerta
| commander, was reported as concen-
trating all his available forces at Sole
dad, thirtysix miles away on the rail-
road line to Mexico City. Reports
from Admiral Badger, however, said
that the forces now in Vera Cruz
should be able to withstand any at
tack Meantime no plans for any
movement on the northern border
/, were perfected.
Padgett in Conference
The possibility of requests of sun
port from Congress for carrying on
further operations by the President
increased to-day. The War Depart
teers and estimated on the funds that
would be needed for mobilizing the
militia. AT the Navy Department Rep
resentative Padgett, of Tennessee.
chairman Of the House naval affairs
committee. was called into conference
with Secretary Daniels.
The embargo in force to-day against
arms and ammunition all along the
Mexican border was a military meas
ure taken by the War Department II
was declared as a part of the on
erations of the army and navy and no
action by the State Department was
involved. By this means the technical
re- establishment of the legal embargo,
which 1t was though might have en-
barrassed the administration in it's at
tilude toward the Constitutionalists in
Northern Mexico, was avoided. The
embargo will be enforced by the entire
military organization on the border
and under military orders to customs
authorities.

DOCTORS HOUSE FOR
SALE BECAUSE HIS
ASSESSMENT WENT UP
John c. DeVenney Declares He
Hasn't Been Given Square
Deal by Tax Board
Property For Sale
For Unjust
And Unequal Taxation



Such is the sign displayed on the
home of DIR. John c. De Venney, 1115
North Second street, and the placards
have been posted at other points in
the city. BY this novel method
DR.. De Venney registers a protest
against an alleged unjust raise in the
valuation of his house, upon which,
the doctor says, the only improvement
made since the 1910 assessment was
the application of coat of paint at
cost of couple of hundred dollars,
whereas the assessment was raised
$500.
Dr. De Venney says that his property
assessment was increased considerably
more than his neighbors. When the
board of revision sat for complaint he
says, he was i'll, but later went to the
office and wrote out an objection on a
slip of paper, having been denied the
heart-toheart talk which he desired
to have with the board. And that was
the last he ever heard of it, he says.
Now I'm waiting for bids on my
house here" the doctor said, "and I'm
going to sell in order to avoid any
other possible increase in the taxes"

Treasury Department
Notifies Collectors
of Embargo on Arms
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April 24.-Or-
ders to hold up all shipments of arms
across the Mexican border were sent
to-day by the Treasury Department to
all collectors of customs The orders
are in cooperation with the War De-
partment's efforts to enforce the en-
bargo. Collectors We're notified to
hold all shipments of arms until fur
ther notice." The President wished it
to be impressed generally that the
United States had not adopted a
threatening attitude toward the Con-
stitutionalists in Mexico, but merely
that 1T expected them to remain neu-
tral while this government continued
to seek reparation from the Huerta
government Tor indignities offered by
the Huerta authorities.
Official messages from American
Consular Agent Carothers, describing
his meeting with General Villa,
reached the President early In the
day. In these messages 1t was specifi-
cally stated that Villa would not join
with Huerta. and the intimation was
conveyed that General Carranza. by
his strong protest against the capture
of Vera Cruz was, in reality, seeking
Await Word From Huerta
Future steps are dependent upon a
more definite announcement of the in
tentions of CarranZa. Likewise. it is
declared, the American forces will not
extend the operations beyond the vi
cinity of Vera Cruz until it is clear
whether Huerta will declare war or
send troops to attempt to dislodge
the American forces.
No Call For Volunteers
The President made it clear that
he had no intention as yet of calling
for volunteers or of appearing before
Congress to ask for an extension of
his authority. 1t was further stated
that brigade of infantry and artillery
from Galveston to reinforce the naval
forces at Vera Cruz is not intended as
an indication that the United States
would develop campaign against
Mexico City, but should Huerta by
some overt act against Americans in
Mexico City or elsewhere, provoke the
American government further, there
will be continuation of efforts to
obtain reparation. President Wilson
considers that in accord with interna-
tional precedent the American gov
ernment could even push it's way into
the interior of the country to obtain
redress for wrongs without actually
being in state of war with the Mexi-
can people as a whole. He. however,
realizes that Huerta by rallying to his
support a great part of the Mexican
nation may actually precipitate a gen.
eral war. but it is certain that the ini-
tiative in declaration of war would
have to come from Mexico before the
President appears before Congress to
ask for more power or funds.
This being regular Cabinet day, the
Presidents official advisers gathered at
the Executive offices shortly before
noon, the Mexican situation being
taken up for further deliberation.

Pittsburgh, Pa. April "a. - T..
Lawry Humes, United States district
attorney, to-day asked the State de-
partment to locate William E. Ches-
ney, Butler county oil man who was
last heard from at Tampico. Chensey
recently left that city for the interior
of Mexico, and his friends fear for
his safety as they have heard nothing
from him since March 81.
Many western Pennsylvania oil men
and their families are in the Mexican
oil fields but little concern is felt for
them as their letters have contained
no hint of danger.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
