SEALERS APPROVE
BOYER'S POLICIES
Sales of All Commodities by Weight
Favored; DR.. Brumbaugh
Meets the SeaIers

Reports made by almost all of the
sixty city and county sealers of
weights and measures attending the
State convention of such officials at
the sessions to-day endorsed the pro-
position to sell all commodities by
weight and for a uniform system of
marking. The reports indicated that
thousands of inspections had been
made in every county, Philadelphia
reporting Ill, 900. and that hundreds
of false weights and measures had
been confiscated. Cooperation on the
ports of manufacturers of containers,
weights and scales with the sealers in
their efforts to secure compliance with
law was generally noted. The con-
vention also heard addresses by Louis
A. Fischer, chief of the national di-
vision of weights and measures at
Washington; w. L. Jansen, city sealer
of Scranton, and John f, McGroarty,
county sealer, Luzerne. 1t will ad-
journ tomorrow.
During the opening hour the seal
ers were addressed by DR.. Martin G..
Brumbaugh, who happened to be in
the city and who was invited to make
q speech. The doctor commended the
work being done by the sealers to in
sure housekeepers a square deal, and
assured them of his interest in laws to
uphold their efforts.
During the discussions of the day
the ideas advanced by President Harry
A. Boyer, of this city, were generally
commended.

American Soldiers Cheer
Order For Evacuation
By ASsociafcd PrcSS

Vera Cruz, Sept. 16.-Cheers from
the American soldiers greeted the
public announcement of General Fun
ston's order for the evacuation of Vera
Cruz by the American forces which
have held the city since last April.
An officer made the announcement at
the close of an open air picture show
in one of the regimental headquarters.
The news spread quickly to the cen
ter of the city where hundreds of
Mexlcans were dining in the sidewalk
cafes. Among them were many men
whose names have been prominent in
Mexican national affairs for many
years Among these men the order to
evacuate caused something akin to
CONSERVATION. similar feeling SEEM
ed to pervade the permanent residents
of Vera Cruz. Most of the fugitive
Mexicans here say they will endeavor
to go abroad. Many of them although
rich in lands and mines and factories
and other commercial interests in the
interior of the country, are poor so
far as actual money is concerned, be-
ing unable to realize on their invest
ments.
When the news first became known
1t was suggested by some of the ref
ugees that a petition be sent to Pres
ident Wilson to postpone the removal
of the troops. This step. however. was
abandoned because of the belief that
such a request would be useless and
also because some of the MeXicans
feared to affix their names to such a
document.

Tuckerton, N. j., Wireless
Station Out of Service
BY Atsncintcd Prets

Tuckerton, n. j., Sept 1.-THE big
wireless station here, one of the two
plants in the United States in direct
touch with Germany, was closed to-
day. 1t was said that the generator
had broken down. Information as to
the exact nature of the breakdown
was refused.
Lieutenant Felix Y. Cygax, U. S. N,
in charge of the station, said later
that one of the generators of the plant
had burned out last midnight. He
said there was no evidence of any
tampering with the machinery.
The station is out of operation for
an indefinite period, Lieutenant Gygax
said, as the extent of the repairs to be
made has not yet been determined. 1t
may take a week or more to get the
machinery in condition to operate the
wireless. There was a large amount
of private and government business on
hand to be flashed across the Atlantic
when the breakdown occurred.
Lieutenant Gygax said that 1t might
be possible to reopen the plant within
a week only in case the necessary ma
terial TO repair the break could be
obtained in the United States. The
equipment is manufactured in Ger
many. If the material cannot be OBJ
tanned here it may be six months be-
fore the plant can resume operations.

PENNSY PASSENGER
TRAFFIC FALLS OFF
10000 IN 8 MONTHS
Division Officials Issue Statement
Showing Why Changes Have
Been Made

From the offices of the Philadelphia
division of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
this afternoon a statement was issued
schedule and explaining that not one
through train on the old schedule has
been taken off the new one. The
statement says that there were almost
20, 900 fewer passengers carried by the
Pennsy during the last three months
than during the same period last year.
The railroad statement is as follows:
owing to the erroneous reports
circulated within the past few days
relative to the withdrawal of certain
trains on the Philadelphia division,
the opinion prevails that Harrisburg
is being Disseminated against. In
order to set the people straight in this
matter the complete changes in the
schedule which went into effect yes
terday, September Is, is given below
as it affects Harrisburg patrons:
"Philadelphia-H Harrisburg parlor cars
on trains Nos. SO and 70 will be dis
continued. Parlor car service between
Grated on trains Nos. So. 81 and 70
and their connections.
Train No. 20 will leave Harrisburg
at 7.30 a. m. instead of a. m. and
arrive at Philadelphia at 1920 a. m.
Train No. go will leave Harrisburg
at 10.45 a. M. IL minutes earlier than
on previous scherule.
Train No. $50. which formerly left
for Lancaster at lilo p. M, will be
discontinued and an additional train
known as No. 270. has been added for
Lancaster which will leave at 1910
p. m.
From the above it will be seen
that there is not one through train
which was on previous schedule that
is not on the present one. Owing to
the falling off of business in the local
service. 1t was necessary to make
reduction in the service in order to
meet the reduced earnings from this
class of traffic.
LAS a matter of interest, the fact
is that there were almost 10000 less
passengers carried during the last
three months than there were the
same period last year."

TROOPS ORDERED
FROM VERA CRUZ
Further Presence of U. S. Forces
at Mexican Port Are Deemed
Unnecessary
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, Sept. 16. - President
Wilson has decided to withdraw the
American expeditionary troops of oc-
cupation from Vera Cruz. There are
about 1000 regular soldiers and about
5000 marines comprised in the forces
now at that Mexican port. and they
Will be brought back to this country
as rapidly as the details can be ar
ranged.
| Several weeks will be required to
carry into effect the orders which the
| President issued last night to Secre-
! tary of War Garrison and which were
cabled to General Frederick Funston
at Vera Cruz. The decision of the
President was officially announced al
| the White House by President Wilson
himself with the following brief state
ment:
THE troops have been ordered
withdrawn from Vera Cruz.
This action is taken in view of the
entire removal of the circumstances
which were thought to justify the oc-
cupatlon.
''The further presence of the troops
| is deemed unnecessary"
Details for the transportation of the
troops and marines back to the United
States have not been worked out, but
will be completed at once by General
Wotherspoon, chief of the general staff
of the army, and other officers of the
! War Department, under the instruc-
| tions given by Secretary Garrison last
might. The Presidents decision means
the withdrawal, not only of the army
forces, but also of the marines.
Fuller Makes Report
President Wilson feels that there is
no longer any need for the retention
of the troops in Mexico. 1t is under
stood that the Presidents decision
followed the receipt of information
from Paul Fuller, the special repre-
sentative, who was sent to Mexico
City on a special mission by the Pres
ident.
1t is understood that Mr.. Fuller has
reported certain guarantees on the
part of the Carranza temporary gov
ernment with respect to the future
in Mexico and that upon the receipt
of Mr.. Fullers report the President
acted, but what the nature of these
assurances were is not known.
Senior Rafael Zuburan, the Consti-
tutionalist confidential agent in Wash
inGton, when informed of the decision
of the President was delighted over
the action taken by the American Ad-
ministration and expressed the belief
that it would be received with great
joy throughout Mexico. The continu-
ed occupation of Vera Cruz was not
pleasing to the Mexicans. and 1t is
the conviction of the President that
the bringing back of the army and
marines will remove an element in the
situation in a way that will facilitate
the inauguration of new era in
Mexico and in the relations of that
country with the United States.
No orders have been issued regard
ing the naval vessels now in Mexican
waters. Some of the vessels have been
withdrawn, but there is still a strong
force of warships at Vera Cruz.
No decision was announced regard
ing the. army that has been concen-
trated along the Texas border.

system of twelve electric arc lights
and scores of incandescents The
method is entirely new in local con-
tracing circles.
The work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible and the contractors
are bending every effort to get the
structure under roof before the ex-
treme cold weather sets in. Night
work has been ordered and the night
is practically turned into day by the
stringing of scores of electric lights
around the excavations.
Another innovation in the contract
ing game in this city is the attachment
to the concrete mixer of an electric
motor which has also been added to
the English Bros. equipment. This
not only makes ii possible to keep the
mixer going day and night but adds to
the speed and output of the mixer.
The electrical work was installed a
few days ago by a construction gang
of the Harrisburg Light and Power
Company.

DR.. BRUMBAUGH IS
HIGHLY PLEASED
Says Quay's Renouncement of the
Bull Moosers Is Only One
of Large Number

DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Repub.
1ican candidate for Governor. came
here early to-day delighted with a
four days campaign of western coun-
ties and smiling over an announce
ment made last night by an eminent
Roosevelt man.
The announcement was that OF
Richard r. Quay. son of the late SEN
ator NJ. S. Quay. one of the prime fac
tors in the Roosevelt movement OF
1912, that he is quitting the Washing
ton party and will vote the Repub-
lican ticket in November.
Quay's tardy conclusion is that
there is no Washington party in Penn
sylvania any more.
Quay in his announcement says:
There has not been a Progressive
party in Pennsylvania since 1912. The
Progressive party here is Mr.. Finn,
and while ! had great faith in the
reformation for a time, 1 find that he
is the same old Bill. l do not think
the shoulders of Vance Mccormick
are strong enough to carry Mr.. Finn
through his present DEAL
DIR. Brumbaugh said about the Quay
statement:
Il have no comment to make on
this individual return to Republican
principles. 1 have received in West
ern Pennsylvania countless pledges of
support from men voting the Wash
ington party ticket in 1912 and
value them just as highly and just as
warmly welcome them back into the
ranks of the party they really never
left"
DIR. Brumbaugh made a whirlwind
ri fhrpNot in, 1,n
hela Valley. stopping at Donora Mo-
nongahela City and Monessen.
All Washington county turned out
to pay DR.. Brumbaugh a signal non

Two thousand school children carry
ing tiny American flags lined the route
of the procession from the station to
the speakers stand at the new school
building.
Or. Brumbaugh replied with a nom
partisan plea for the learning that
makes good citizens of school chill
dren. Ten thousand persons crowded
around the platform to hear the su-
perintendent of schools of Philadel-
phia.
