Denounces Politicians
Who Are Trying to Tempt
Justice Hughes to Run

Washington, April ~. Senator
Works, Republican, to-day coupled an
attack on the army bill with a de-
nunciation of politicians who he de-
clared were trying to tempt Justice
Hughes with a presidential nomina-
ton.
Partisan politics. declared the
California Senator, lis ruthless in its
demands and invades the most sacred
precincts of the national government.
1t is seeking place and power where
ever it can find entrance.
Just now it is attempting to invade
the Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t is presenting to a member
of that body the greatest temptation
that could be offered to an American
citizen-to surrender his place on the
bench and become a candidate for
political office. This attempt to bring
the highest judicial tribunal of the
country, or any member of 1t into
politics, should be resented not only
by the member to whom the tempting
offer is made but by the whole coun-
try"

porter, we found absolutely no cor
roboration of the published statement
that President ]. II. Maurer of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of La
Dor said To Hell with the American
Flag or made any statement whatever
i'm any way insulting to the flag last
Sunday night at the Labor Forum in
the Washington Irving High school"
This statement was made last night
by President w. G.. Wilcox of the
Board of Education, after he, Leo
Arnstein and Miss Mary T.. Dreier. as
n special committee of that body, had
investigated by Mayor Mitchel's di-
rection the widely circulated charge
as to language used by Maurer in his
antipreparedness talk.

Even Poker Chips Can Be
Found Among $4,000
Pieces at Rummage Sale

More than 10000 pieces of goods.
ranging from kitchen stoves to poker
chips (fact, these chips; they arrived
at noon from a State street house), are
already placed in the rummage sale
headquarters, 30S Market street.
Fumigation of the entire stock will
be made late this afternoon by DR..
John NJ. J. Raunick, health officer, and
Sanitary Officers William f. Orr and
David ii. Ellinger. There will be abso-
lutely no danger from infection what
ever. Every piece offered has come
from homes which are very cleanly in
every respect.
By nightfall it is believed the stock
will have touched the 40, 900 mark, as
the contributions, instead of lessening
to-day, have increased. Outlying dis
tricts are sending their quotas, which
means that interest throughout the en-
tire district is strong.
The sale opens tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Preparations for rush
are being made by special arrange
ments with Chief of Police zeil.

By Associated Press

Torreon, Mexico, April IL, via
FL Paso Junction, April 12.-Details of
a ffve-hour battle between the Car
rama garrison at Pasaje, Durango,
and an attacking force composed of
Contreras and Ceniceros bandits were
brought here to-day. The outlaws fed

it is reported. The de facto troops lost
four dead.
The battle took place on Sunday.
First reports were that the attacking
force was commanded by General
Canuto Reyes, but it is believed, how
ever, that he was not implicated. Ne
gotiations have been under way for
the surrender of General Reyes under
an amnesty grant.
A doctor sent from here to treat
men wounded in the battle said the
Contreras and Ceniceros attackers
were subjected to withering fire from
the garrison. They fed in disorder
lie counted the bodies of seventy of
the outlaws. Among the dead were
a colonel and a captain.
After the battle word was received
that Juan Lamadrid, a noted bandit.
was killed in a dispute over the
division of loot by the Contreras
bandits.
General Trevino. Carranza COM
mander in Torreon, has arranged for
corn shipments from Colima and

Steel Lands
$2,7OO,O0O Gun Order

Philadelphia, April -. - An order
for 100 howitzers. approXimating
S2,700. 900, was obtained yesterday by
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Com
pany from the British government.
The contract was signed in New York
and reports from that city stated that
il was probable extensive improve
ments would be made at the local
plant of the company in order to carry
out the work. These improvements,
il was said. would entail an eXpedi-
ture of nearly S1,000,00O.
The fact that additions to the Nice
town plant were contemplated was not
a surprise here. as il has been gen
orally known that MidVale is already
booked to capacity and must have
more space if it determines to accept
additional muntion contracts. The
Cambria steel plant, at Johnstowr, Pa.
is not adapted to such construction,
making a speciality of steel rails and
freight cars.

Cattleman Says Villa Is
Neither Dead Nor Wounded;
Reports to Fool Troopers

FL Paso, Texas. April 12.-An en-
tirely new version of the story of
Villas death was brought here to-day
by a Mexican cattleman, who claimed
TO have suffered a visitation from a
band of Villa followers on his ranch
near Bachiniba. This man said that
Villa was neither dead nor wounded,
but that Pablo Lopez. the bandit s
notorious lieutenant and eXecutioner-
in-chief, had died. and that Villa had
deliberately used his death as the basis
of the story of his own finish. The
cattleman told the following story:
II was in Guerrero at the time Villa
came there and afterward when the
American soldiers arrived ! believed
it was safe for me to return to my
ranch.
Last Thursday a band of twenty of
Villas men rode up to the ranch
house. They took n little grain that ]
had and killed one of my cows and
had n great feast. They had several
