Transports Lift Anchor at

CUSTOM Receipts BACK
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-General
Funston, with all his troops aboard
transports, sailed from Vera Cruz at
noon today for Galveston.
Marines numbering about two
thousand were taken aboard separate
transports for Philadelphia, where
they will be given a reception upon
their arrival at League Island.
No decision as to the distribution
of the troops after they return to the
United States has yet been reached,
Secretary of War Garrison said. They
will be quartered temporarily at
Texas City. and the length Of their
stay there will be determined largely
by events on the Mexican side of the
border. Garrison said.
General Funston cabled also that
he was bringing with him about ST.
100000 in customs receipts collected
during the American occupation at
Vera Cruz This will be placed on
deposit in some bank in the United
States until the United States recog-
nizes new government in Mexico.
The return Of General Funston Will
cause shift of departmental com
manders in the army, Secretary Gar
rison said today The plan is to
bring General Bliss. commander of
the border troops, to Washington to
act as assistant chief of stan, in
which capacity he could prepare him
self to succeed General Hugh Scott,
the present chief of staff. If General
Funston desires leave of absence af-
1 ter his long stay in Mexico, the
changes may be postponed. Other
wise he may take command OF the
central department while General
Bell succeeds temporarily General

There has been nothing so far to in

in a bureau drawer and Of course the
money is a loss, it having been in the
furniture that was destroyed. The ORR

VILLA Still RULES
FROM VERA CRUZ
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Oflicial ad-
vices regarding the Mexican situation
Just prior to the withdrawal of the
American forces in Vera Cruz, continued
confusing today. Reports from the
State Department agents indicated that
fighting was in progress at several
points and that Villa was still miles
away from Mexico City. The capital
was in control of General Lucio Blanco
and the official reports declared that
the city was absolutely tranquil.
According to the belief in State De-
partment circles, General Blanco may at
tempt to reconcile the factions. He re-
mains in Mexico City with ample troops
to protect all foreigners and prevent
rioting. In remaining in Mexico City,
BlancO has checkmated Zapata and his
band who were reported TO be planning
to loot the city as soon as all Of the
regular troops were withdrawn.
The administration believes that the
Mexican factions will get together once
the American troops are out of the
country. In the meanwhile the few
warships now in Mexican waters will re-
main, at least for the present.
Nineteen marines were killed in the
fighting which marked the occupation of
Vera Cruz. Opinions differ regarding
the cost in money of the occupation.
The retiring chief of staff, General
Wotherspoon, said that the cost TO the
army was S5,000.OOO. The cost to the
navy was at least double that sum. The
State, like the Navy Department, in.
sists that the cost of rations. pay TO
men and wear and tear to ships would
have gone on anyhow.

GRAB
Federal PLACE
FROM NR.BURTON

Democratic grab of the Offices now
held by Republican deputy collectors
Of internal revenue attached TO the
Wilmington Office now has taken
definite form.
Daniel Burton, Republican, Of
Millsboro, outside deputy connected
with the Wilmington office for many
years, has received notice from
Joshua W. Miles, collector of internal
revenue for the Delaware-Maryland
district. that his services will be dis
continued after November 80.
It is expected that similar action
will soon be taken regarding DR..
Robert p. Fletcher, inside deputy in
charge of the local internal revenue
office in the Federal building.
For some time there have been re-
ports that the two Republican dep
uties would be ousted. The Offices
we're under civil service, but the
Democrats in their lust for patronage
have lifted the positions out Of the
civil service class TO please some of
the hungry job-seekers.
The letter received by Mr.. Burton
is as follows:
Treasury Department,
Baltimore, Md, Nov. "a, 1914.
Daniel Burton,
Wilmington, Del.
Sir: This is to inform you that
have concluded, with the approval OF
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Department TO discontinue your
services as deputy collector of in
ternal revenue at the close of busi-
ness on Monday, November 80,
1914.
If you desire, you can in the
meantime, transmit to me your
resignation,
Yours very respectfully,
JOSHUA w. MILES,
Collector.
1t is understood that Mr.. Burton viii
not resign, but that he will write T.
Mr. Miles that the Office will be turned
over to his Democratic successor as sooi
as he is appointed.
II is said that q Kent county Demo
crat. a resident of Smyrna, is to be ap
pointed to fill the place TO be taken fron
Mr.. Burton, and that former Represen
tative Timothy ]. Mooney of the Tent
ward, will be appointed inside deput.
to succeed DIR. Fletcher.
