NOT UNTIL VILLA is CAUGHT
Will u. s. Troops BE Withdrawn
from Beyond Mexican Border.

Washington, April G.-Categorical
denial by Secretary Lansing late to-
day was the official answer to per-
sistent reports that the American
troops might be withdrawn from
Mexico shortly regardless Of develop
ments in the hunt for villa. Both
Mr.. Lansing and Secretary of War
Baker indicated there was no inten-
ton Of changing the original orders
given Gen. Funston
News from the border that a train
load Of supplies, shipped by private
firms, had left Juarez to-day for Ca
sas Grandes and Pearson, where
they will be available to Gen. Per-
shing, caused satisfaction here,
Even without further action by or
concessions from Carranza, such use
Of the railways, some officials think,
may meet the needs of the United
States.
Secretary Baker indicated to-day
that in the present status Of the Mexi-
can campaign the motor truck lines
from Columbus are to be the princi-
pal artery for supplies.

Special Agent John l.. Rodgers, at
Queretaro, told Of continuance Of ne
gotiations with Carranza on the rail
way question. 1t was officially stated
that Rogers's messages were some
what vague and indefinite regarding
the exact status OF the negotiations.
Interest in the political questions
affecting the Mexican situation was
renew ed by receipt at the State De-
partment Of correspondence between
Hert Won Der Glotz, alleged German
spy and aid Of Capt. Won Papen, the
former German military attache. 1t
was understood some of the cores
pondence, submitted by the British
government, dealt with activities of
Won Der Glotz in Mexico.
Official attention also was given tG
the reported revolution Of Felix Diaz
in Southern Mexico. Information Of
the Department of Justice locating
Diaz In Mexico has been laid before
the State Department. The latter
also had confirmed rumors that Diaz
Is getting both men and supplies from
Guatemala.
The only dispatch received to-day
from Gen. Funston was regarding
distribution Of the recent army re-
cruits among the border patrol.

ance this year on account of the large

Snow Crimps Road Work
For EeavywOrk Warriors
Rr Associated Prcss

New York, March 1G. -- Roads
blocked with snow and a stiff cold
wind did not keep Jess Willard and
Frank Moran from taking their early
runs to-day.
Willard is well satisfied with the
progress he is making in reducing
weight and believes that by tomorrow
he will get below 250 pounds. Jess
is very cool in all his gymnasium work
and particularly careful when he has
the gloves on with his sparring part
ners. All three of these, by the way,
show signs of hard usage although
Willard never cuts loose with a full
blow, but his ponderous weight at
close quarters has its effect on the
trio of fighters who let Jess feel the
full strength Of any blows they can
land on him.
Moran's workouts in the ring are
more lively as he mixes matters in
hot fashion with his three men. He
is looking forward to an additional
opponent for the remainder of the
time. Big Dan Daily. of Philadelphia,
is expected at the West Chester camp
some time to-day and Trainer Lewis
says that his presence will enable
Moran to work his overhead blows
effectively.
In both camps the usual gymnastics,
bag punching, boxing and wrestling
bouts will be gone through this after
noon.

SPRAYING MUST
BE DONE BY ALL
This Is the Opinion of State
Officials Who Have OBJ
served Conditions

Compulsory spraying is now being
urged through the state because tree
owners are met by other less progress
sive persons on each side who make
no effort to keep their trees in con-
dition. In answer to a communication
asking whether the Department of
Agriculture can compel his neighbor
to spray for San Jose scale, ZoologiSt
II. n. Surface says
THE nursery inspection law requires
that when tree pests are supposed to
be present, those persons whose prop
erty is threatened by them can make
complaint to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and 1t then becomes his duty to
send competent man to inspect the
premises of which complaint is made,
and see If dangerous or serious pests
are found thereon. If so, he must tell
the owner what to do to get rid of
them, and must prescribe Il certain
length of time within which the work
must be done. At the expiration of
that period he must again visit the
premises, and if the treatment has not
been given in accordance with direc-
tions, it is the duty of the Department
of Agriculture to do the work, or have
1t done by men whom it must employ,
and have the expense for it charged to
the property as a lien in the same
manner as taxes"
Every Pennsylvania fruit grower
who has not examined his peach, plum
and apricot buds should do so at once,
as many have been frozen and the
seasons plans may have to be altered.
Sheldon w. Funk, farm adviser expert
on fruits, has examined orchards in
several of the southeastern counties of
the State and declares that he was
surprised to find what great percent
age of the buds have been killed. Mr..
Funk says: 'All of the apricot buds,
together with some varieties of plum
buds, that ] have examined have been
destroyed entirely. In one peach or
chard the buds were all killed, but in
most cases the percentage of frozen
buds runs from 20 to rs per cent, de-
pending upon the varieties, elevation
and general Vigor of the trees. This
is, of course, sufficient for a good crop
if DO further injury is received.
I'm no section that / have examined
did the thermometer drop lower than
four degrees below zero and had not
expected to find so much damage.
There is a possibility that the excess
sive rainfall, together with heavy crop
ping last summer, caused the buds to
go into the dormant stage in a weak
ened condition, but I believe that the
greatest part of the damage was pri-
marily caused by the extremely warm
spells which we had this winter. The
warm weather undoubtedly started sap
circulation, to a certain extent, which
