AID GOLDEN BELT
Campaign to Boost Highway
Begins in Topeka Tomorrow.
Abilene, Chapman, Salina, Wa
megO, Manhattan Respond.

The campaign for memberships in
the Golden Belt Road association will
open in Topeka tomorrow. The asso-
citation at it's meeting at Manhattan
decided that if the Golden Belt Road
is to stay on the map it must haxe
money for a publicity campaign. Signs
are needed at Kansas City, Denver and
Colorado Springs, and the advantages
of the road must be called to the at
tention of the tourists. At present the
Santa Fe Trail is obtaining the great
er portion of the cross state tourist
travel. and the Golden Belt with its
shorter and better line ought to have
the big end of this travel.
The plan is to secure one thousand
members who will pay $1.00 this year
and the same amount each year
for four years following. This will be
used purely for publicity. The officers
have never received nor will receive
any salary. The association has en-
ployed NJ. G.. Butterfield to canvass
the towns of the entire route and Sc
cure these members, and our city
should give him hearty reception. He
will spend a few days here and see
all the business men who are interest
ed in boosting the Golden Belt Al
ready this month in Abilene. Chap
man, Salina. Manhattan and Wamego,
he has secured about $50 members
The vice presidents for Topeka are G..
w. Stansfield and H. S. Putney.
In addition to membership in the
Golden Belt Road association each
member will receive a membership
in the Touring Information bureau of
Kansas City, which entities him to all
information on roads in this state and
elsewhere, and strip maps showing the
entire route of the Golden Belt across
the state.
But the big object is to boost this
cross country highway. A great deal
Il
Belt this spring, and it is expected
that it will be put in better condition
than ever in its history. If we want to
help push the Golden Belt, now is the
time to do it, and a large number of
members should be secured in this
aifN

The CLOSED DOOR
immigration Bill Would Ex-
clude All Asiatics.
Being Anti-WilsOn, Real
Scrap Is Anticipated.

Washington, March 24.-The Bur
nett immigration bill with its liter
acy test and terms which Pacific coast
congressman say provide complete ex-
clusion of Asiatics outside of certain
excepted classes, was taken up today
in the house. Leaders expect that
the bill, the fruit of many months of
consideration, will occupy several days
in its passage through the house.
The hteracy test comes before con-
gress again with the record of having
been repeatedly vetoed by different
presidents and AsiaticS exclusion fea
lures face the complete disapproval
of the administration which is much
averse to agitating the question at this
time.
The Asiatic features are said to be
more far reaching than any ever pro-
posed before and meet the demands of
the Pacific slope for what practically
amounts to complete exclusion. There
have been indications that the presi-
dent would veto the bill if it retains
those features

Consul Letcher Wires No Her.
rera Mutiny Occurred.
Still Funston Receives Reports
Confirming 1t.
ACCEPT BATTLE STORY, TRUE
Villa Routed in First Clash
With Troopers.
Expect Pershing to Break D.
Day Silence Today.

Washington. March 24.-American
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua today
reported there was no truth in the re-
ported revolt of General Herrera and
the Carranza garrison at Chihuahua
Consul I,etcher's dispatch reported
that General Herrera was in COM
mand of the de facto troops there and
was loyal to Carranza." His report
is regarded as removing one of the
most menacing features of the MeN-
can situation.
Although General Funston and Gen
eraI Bell on the border have received
reports confirming the story of the
revolt, which they believe to be true,
the dispatch from Consul Letcher,
who is on the ground and has head
quarters at the place where the revolt
was said to have occurred, is taken by
officials here as confirming the state
ments of Carranza officials that no
such revolt has occurred.
Await Pershing Report
San Antonio, March 24.-Reports
from Mexican sources that villa had
been defeated by American and Mex
lean troops at Eloso, near Namaqu1-
pa. were accepted by General Funston
as probably true, although no conf1r-
nation by General Pershing had been
received. Improvement in the Work
ing of the wireless made 1t appear
likely that General Pershing would
break his fifth day of silence regard
ing operations south of Casas Grandes
by rendering an account of the en-
gagement at Eloso.
Keen interest was displayed at Fort
Sam Houston in the report General
Gavira announced that he had re-
ceived from Casas Grandes, since, if
fv1 hn
opinion of officers there, the chances
for capturing Villa or running him to
a point where he must make his last
fight.
He Can't Get Away?
Until now the operations against
him have been nothing more than a
campaign of location. Three cavalry
detachments have been working up
ward along widely separated trails, but
the opportunity for direct chase now
is offered, it was indicated by staff
officers who have followed the de-
tails of the pursuit. 1t was not be-
lieved that the Americans would allow
Villa to get out of their sight again
and that his capture or death ap-
peared more likely today than at any
other time.
General Pershing, it was believed,
would concentrate as many of his
men as possible in the pursuing force,
relieving those who have been riding
the country south of Casas Grandes
Nothing new was learned here of
the reported uprising of Luis Her
rera.
Funston Gets DeniaIs.
Washington. D. c., March 24--Ma-
jor General Funston sent this tele-
gram to the war department:
General Herrera in a telegram to
General Gavira strongly denies all re-
ports that he had gone over to Villa
General Gutierrez, governor of Chi
huahua, in letter to General Gavira
also strongly denies that General Her
rera has gone over to Villa"

ly with the idea of seeing service and
a failure to be called out would prob
ably result in the disaffection of a
large per cent of the members.
The latest visitor to the Armory is
Capt A. L. Cludas, K. n. G., of Min
neapolis, Kan. Capt. Cludas has one
of the star militia companies OF the
state, the members of which are all
wanting to go to Mexico.
Local employers are having hard
time this week with such of their en-
pIoyees as happen to be members of
Battery A. The armory presents a
buster scene than it has ever present
ed since the organization years ago.
Everything is packed up and ready for
instant transportation to the fair
grounds in case of the receipt of an
order for mobilization.
