HOTELS BESIEGED
BY MAD RUSH FOR
ARMY-NAVY GAME
Scramble for Reservations
Biggest in City's History as
Interest in Contest Mounts
Daily.
The maddcot scramble for reservations
at Philadelphia's larger hotels ever been
experienced by their proprietors Is now
on among football enthusiasts, who
seek accommodations on tho day of the
Army and Navy game at Franklin Field.
Distracted clerks answer countless
telephone calls and thumb over their
lists hundred of tlmce dally In answer
to the over-repeated question, "Can you
take care of us on November IS?" while
managers and nsalstnnt managers pace
corridors wondering how they nro to
take care of tho rush.
Tho long drawn out controversy, which
for months kept supporters of each
branch of tho Government's military
sorvlco on the rack of suspense, whllo
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels nnd
the football committees of both West
rolnt and Annapolis struggled to de
cide whore tho game was to be played,
has resulted in croatlng a greater In
terest In tho 1914 game than has been
shown In any previous contest.
When it was finally nnnnunmi nn
npreement had been made, signed and
attested in Philadelphia, at the office of
Dr. J. William White, cnthuslastis In
almost overy corner of the United Stntcs
broathed a sigh of relief, and Immediately
began preparations to come here on tho
festal day.
RUSH ALREADY FELT.
Every hotel In this city, that Is, every
hotel which usually has Its complement
of Army and Navy followers, already has
begun to feel tho effects of the on
coming rush. Dignified army and navy
officers have appeared and arranged for
accomodations. .Many reservations have
been made by persons from New York,
Boston. Baltimore and Washington.
Hundreds of motor trios am nlnni
and many will drive here In their cars J
jum ntaroy cuies. extensive prcpara
tlons are being made in the culinary de
partments of hotels to care for the army
of devotees who will dlno In Philadelphia
after tho game.
As has been the custom for many
years, It is expected the Army team will
make Its headquarter at the Bellovue
Strntford, whllo the Navy team, with
Its coaches, trainers and followers, will
be at the Walton.
Already tach of tl.cse hostelrlcs has
begun to make preparations for ap
proaching festivities. Hundreds of
pounds of additional food supplies have
been ordered. Choice wines have been
put in stock and chefs nro planning deli
cacies and confections.
Executives of big hotels aro holding
council to determine to what extent they
shall Increase facilities to care for crowds
ana numbers or bookings for dinner par
ties after the game have already been
made.
DECORATIONS PROFUPE
Each of the hotels where the teams
are quartered will be gaily decorated
with Army and Navy colors and the red,
white nnd blue of the Trilled States.
On the day of the game a glittering
pageant of gaily appareled officers will
be spread over the lobbies of the Belle-vue-9tratford,
nitz-Carlton, Walton, St.
James and Adelphla hotels. Clean-cut
men, resplendld In dress uniforms, will
walk with a dingle across the corridors,
while pretty women and younjr girls,
radiant In modern finery, will add the
dash of color to maka the sceno one of
the gayest.
Considerable speculation Is rlfo whether
or not President Wilson will continue to
follow precedent and come to the game
this year. Secretary Daniels, of the
Navy, and Garrison, of the Army, will be
on hand, It is confidently expected, but
the presence of Mr. Wilson Is a thing
not yet decided upon. The President has
received his formal Invitation, but has
not announced his decision. Persons close
to Mr. Wilson say he will be here.
-The demand for seats this year Is great
er than ever before. Tickets are at a
premium and its a result of ihls the mili
tary set have commandeered all they
could obtain.
DROUGHT IN BERKS CO.

The Schuylkill is the lowest It has been
for years and unless there is a rain with
in a short time there is a likelihood of
many Industries being- compelled to sus

DRODGHT IN STATE,
LASTING 70 DAYS,
CAUSES DISTRESS
Streams Run Dry and Farm
ing Is Hampered, While in
Coal Regions Mining Is
Difficult.
A large portion of Pennsylvania Is
parched by n drought that hns con
tinued with only slight breaks for the
Inst 70 days. Tho effect of this nbsenco
of ruin has been the virtual drying up
of wells nnd streams upon which farm
ers nnd Industry depend for their sup
ply.
In the period named only ono Inch of
rnln has fallen In tho Schuylkill Valley,
where tho normal fall IH about 12
Inches, nnd this condition Is rellectod in
other eastern and central sections of
tho State. Fall plowing hns been ren
dered tllfllcult, residents of many rural
towns have been obliged to carry water
for domestic uses, and ti serious fenturo
of the drought In the anthracite re
gion bus been tho crippling of mining
operations.
Dispatches from nearby points and
some farther removed Indicate, the ex
tent of the drought.
CHESTER COUNTY STREAMS
FAIL AND WATER IS SCARCE
Partners Compelled to Haul Supplies
long Distances.
WEST CHESTER, !,,.. N'ov. ll.-The
drought In Chester County Is tho worst
In many yenrs and In all sections wells
and sprlngR nro drlod up. Many farm
ers nrc compelled to hnul water from
the streams or spring at a distance In
order to provide for their stock and their
families. In some sections farmers liv
ing cl03e together have united nnd tnko
their turns 'dally In hauling a supply of
water from the nearest stream.
At Marshallton. a village with 400 In
habitants, all the wells except about halt
u dozen havo failed and the residents aro
drawing water from thoso who aro more
fortunate In addition to hauling from a
stream, a mile from the place. In Weit
Chester, Coatesvillc arid other towns the
supply Is small and icsldents have been
warned for some weeks to economize.
All the streams are lower than formany
years. The Brandywlne Creek, a large
stream in this section. Is so low that It
can be crossed at almost any point with
out the feet being dampened.
Chester Creek, which supplies this
place, shows less than one-halt Its usual
flow at present.
SCHUYLKILL VALLEY HAS
WORST DROUGHT IN YEARS
Fall Plowing "Unsatisfactory and Sit
uation at Mines Serious.
POTTSVILLE. Ta., Nov. U.-Not for a
half century has the drought situation
been as serious In this section as at tho
present time. It Is 70 days since there
has been any rain of consequence in the
Schuylkill Valloy. In that period only
one Inch of rain has fallen, as against a
normal average of 12 Inches. While fall
Plowing by farmers 1b unsatisfactory, be
cause of the dry, powdery condition of
the soil, there Is still a water supply,
though scant. In most agricultural locali
ties for domestic and cattle purposes.
The serious problem In Schuylkill Is
In tho mining districts, which constitute
the greater portion of the county. The
Heading Company and other mining cor
porations are hauling water in tank cnr.s
In order to supply colliery boilers. De
spite the fact that a dozen water trains
from Lakeside and several other points
in this region are running dally and tho
Schuylkill navigation reservoirs at Tum
bling Run are furnishing a pumping sup
ply for the Schuylkill Valley operations,
there Is very serious apprehension lest
the collieries will have to close down for
want of water for steam purposes dur
ing the winter, when the demand for coal
production will be greatest. All Btreams
are dried up and few springs are running.
SHORTAQE IN MONTGOA1ERY
COUNTY CAUSES DISTRESS
Farmers Obliged to Carry "Water for
Household Purposes.
NORRISTOWN, Pa.. Nov. U.-The
streams in this section are very low and
many of them have gone dry and tho
farmers either have to drive their cattle
to the nearest source of supply or carry
water at Jeffcrsonvllle, a village two
miles north of here. In Norrlton town
ship the residents are all being sup
plied by water from two wells. Those
of the village of Blue Bell, In Whltpain
township, have been carrying water for
househnjd use for months, many of the
wells In that section have been dry since
the beginning of the dry weather. The
shortage of water In this section is be
coming serious.
CENTRE COUNTY FARAIERS
HAMPERED IK PLANTING
Unable to Get Out Fall Crops
on
Account of Dryness of Soil.
BELW1FONTB. Pa., Nov. Jl -All parts
of Centre County is experiencing the se
verest drought known in years. Com
paratively little rain has fallen since Au
gust. Mny farmer were unable to put
out a full crop of fall wheat on account
of the ground being loo hard and dry. In
some portions 'of the country farmers are
compelled to haul 'water two and three
milts (or their stock and domestic pur
poses. Many of the small springs and streams
throughout the country are entirely dry.
While Ue larger atreams are lower than
they have ever been, one result of the
drought will be a short wheat crop In
Centre County next year.

NO DINNERS AT WHITE HOUSE
Usual Time for Announcing' Dates of
Social Functions Passes Unnoticed.
WASHINGTON, Nov ll.-There will be
no official dinners and receptions at tho
White House this winter. This was tin-
deritood In Washington today when the
usual llmo for naming dntes for these
functions passed without any announce
ment. Vhllo the mnln reason for dispensing
with these events Is said to be because
of the death of Mrs. Wilson, It wai point
ed out by officials that the President also
avoided an embarrassing situation. A
dinner nnd a reception always havo been
given In honor of the diplomatic corps.
At presrnt, howovor, the envoys here
from Great Hrltnln, France, Russia and
Japan arc not on spenklng terms with
those from Gcrmanv, Austria and Turkey.
POULTRY EMBARGO
TO EXTEND ONLY TO
INFECTED FARMS
Federal Inspector Announces
Turkeyless Thanksgiving
Need Not Be Feared From
Quarantine.
Fears of the extension of the foot and
mouth quarantine on livestock to poul
try, with Its visions of a turkeyless
Thanksgiving. In Philadelphia nnd other
cities, have been nllnycd by tho Federal
authorities.
"Tho Federal quarantine has not been
and tlll not he extended to poultry, ex
cept to farms whero tho disease baa been
discovered among cattle, swlno or sheep,"
said Dr. John 15. Mohlcr, chief patholo
gist, of tho Bureau of Animal .Industry,
todny.
Health authorities hcie. however, of
ficials of the Department of Agricullliro
rnkl, might for their own protection
place a local Slnto embargo on poultry
shipments to guard agahiHt tho spread
of tho livestock plague. The State Live
stock Sanltnrj Board hns not Included
turkeys und other fowls In tho quar
antine piohlbitlng the shipment of ani
mals In Pennsylvania, and will not un
less the situation absolutely demands It.
Kentucky has been added to the list
of Stater put tinder qunrantlno by the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, mak
ing the totul now II, nnd another State,
Mississippi, Is under suspicion.
Federal ofllclals do not believe, there
will be any further spread of tho dis
ease, owing to prompt methods taken to
combat it. Colder weather, reported from
nearly all of the quarantined States, will
help to curtail tho spread of tho disease,
they believe.
The disease Is now known to exist In
19 counties of Pennsylvania, but the fol
lowing have not yet been quarantined:
Montour. Columbia, Perry, Cumberland,
Berks, Carbon. Adams, Westmoreland.
Heaver. Shipment from county to county,
however. Is prevented by tho State quar
antine. Such shipments may be made
only upon permit of nn ngent of the board
specifically Issued In each instance.
Wool shipments from this city nrc being
held up at the Canadian border as the
result of the ban en exports of cattle
from this country, and tho trado of this
city In that commodity Is now Irtually at
a a'anilstlll. Embargoes have been
pined on shipments of wool from Eng
land and Australia.
The embargo by the Canadian authori
ties Is for a period of 10 months, begin
ning October 17, on wool, hair nnd hides
from Pennsylvania, New York. Maryland,
Michigan, Indiana and Illinois.
LOCAL, SITUATION GOOD.
The situation In the West Philadelphia
yards Ih believed to be well In hand, and
no additional cases of the disease havo
been found in the city. Although sev
eral droves of cattle and swine were
suspected, examination showed that they
r.re free from the ailment.
The price of meat remains unaffected,
with the supply on hand sufficient to
supply tho demand for two or .three
weeks.
"The quarantine may affect prices
temporarily, but It is nothing to become
excited about," said II. Lammertz, vice
I resident of the D. B. Martin Company,
packers. "The prewont supply Is cover
ing1 the demand. If the ten-day quar
antine is extended we may look for an
advance In price."
Milk denlers report no appreciable fall
ing off In the city's milk supply through
the Infection of herds. Although some
dairy herds have been affected and the
supply from that source consequently cut
oft. the supply is practically undimin
ished. All milk consumed In the city Is
pasteurized in nccordanco with the regu
lations of the health authorities.
Director Harte, of the Department of
Public Health, has Issued a warning to
the public of the danger of foot and
mouth disease, and advises where milk
cannot be pasteurized it should be boiled.
Children are more susceptible to the dis
ease than are adults, and It may prove
fatal to very young children.
QUARANTINE OF YARDS

CHICAGO, Nov, 11. Quarantine on the
Plant of the Omaha Packing Company
here. 1 and on the stockyards at Peoria
and East St, Louis, was raised today by
order of the State veterinarian.
The Omaha Packing Company will re
sume slaughtering of stock probably to
morrow. The stockyards at East St.
Louts and Peoria are free to receive
shipments of live stock immediately
from areas not affected by the foot and
mouth disease.
Threats of a congressional Inquiry in
to the reasons for the rapid spread of
the live stock plague are coming- In
from various quarters. Congressman
elect Steele, of Iowa, m4 demanded that
the quarantine be rcistd in the Sioux
City yards and throughout his district,
contending there has never been any
trace of tho plague there.

Continued from Tage One
Labor, then took the floor nnd greeted
tho convention In the name of the or
ganize!) workers of the Dominion.
"We always refer," said Mr. Rlgg, "to
tlio boundary lino between the United
Stales and Canada as 'the Imaginary line.'
"Because of that accldentof fate which
has niddo Canada governed separately
from tho rest of North America, It IS
necessary that we In Canada have a dis
tinct organization, It Is needed to obtain
Canadian legislation for Canadian work
ers. And it enn never become a rival
of the American Federation. It works
for Canadian labor nnd refuses to be In
nny way -,-t rival of your organization.
Wo aro bound to you, however, by the
close tics of Internationalism nnd, to
gether with you, will work for tho wel
fare of tho workers of North America
and the entire world."
"A new spirit of patriotism hag been
awakened In tho mind and tho heart of
the trade union movement which unites
tho workers of tho world. And while that
spirit has not been yet wide enough to
stop that enrnngo going on now on tho
mittloflelds ijf Europe., that spirit Is suffi
ciently strong to mnko It a safe predic
tion that the workers of tho United Stntes
nnd the workers of Canada will never
consent to fly at each others' throats. So
far ns the workers of both of these coun
tries air concerned, thoto will never bo a
single fort erected on the frontier between
the United Slates and Canada to menace
tho peaceful rotations between tho two
countries."
Mr. Rlgg attacked what he termed
"tho recklewi policy of Immigration,"
fo.lercd by tho Canadian Government in
crtler "to deluge tho country with arti
ficial Immigration." Thero nro a great
mans of unomplojcd In Cannda, as a re
sult of this, Mr. Rlgg declared.
"There Is going to be a grcnt dcnl of
suffering In Canada, this winter because
of this," lie said. "Shameful evils of
our Industrial system aro making their
appearance in Canada. Tho Idea that wo
nr a rural people Is utterly erroneous.
Forty per cent, of the nouulatlon of
I Canada lived In cities In 1901.
LARGER URBAN POPULATION.
"At present, Cnnndn, In proportion to Its
population, has a larger urban popularity
than tho United States. Tho harvest
Is great and the call Is there. Organizers
of our international movement should be
sent In there to uproot tho efforts of
destructlonlets who aro trying to under
mine the labor movement."
In this Mr. Rlgg referred to tho Con-i
ndlitu Federation of Labor, which corre
sponds to tho Industrial Workers of tho
World In this country.
Mr. Rlgg also made a pica for distinct
political notion on the part of the workers.
"It Is necessary," he said, "that the
workers have In legislative bodies repre
sentatives of their on 11 class. 1 have al
ways felt a feeling of humiliation when
ot I think that the workers have not
yet leallzed tho Importance of organiz
ing and uslpg the power conferred upon
them by right of tho franchise.
"Vou have read In tho Declaration
of Independence about tha right of the
1 copio to tho pursuit of happiness. The
trouble Is that there Is 11 llttlo too much
of ptirnut and too little happiness. It Is
up to the organized labor movement, both
on the economic and political Jlelds to
bring more happiness into tho life of tho
nuinmt, uiuua nnu me pconie as n
whole."

NATIONAL GRANGE
IN ANNUAL SESSION
AT WILMINGTON
Large Attendance Repre
sents Every One of the 34
States Comprised in Farm
ers' Organization.
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. ll.-The
National OranRe of Patrons of Hus
bandry began its business sessions at
tho Hotel dtlPont this mornlnrr. The as
sembly room of the hotel Is beautifully
decorated in tho colors of the grange,
erreen and white nnd with fruits. The
city Itftlf Is In nala dress In lioncVr of tha
visitors. Market street having been con
verted Into a "court of honor."
The attendance of the opening session
was considerably larger than has been
expected. The sitting was devoted al
most wholly to preliminary work and
the appointment of committees. National
Master Oliver Wilson, of Peorln, 111.,
presided. Delegates from all of tho 3
States Ot thn Union which have granges,
were present at the roll-call.
A number 'of matters were presented
and referred to committees. The most
Important work of tho day was tho ap
proval of tho committees which had beon
appointed by tho national master. Thcso
committees will consider tho various
matters referred to them during the na
tional meeting and will rcDort back for
action.
W. T. Creasy, master of the Pennsyl
vania State Orange, was one of tho
prominent figures about the convention,
Vleltprs havo been arriving all day.
The entire nftcrnoon session was de
voted to hearing reports. The report ot
Oliver Wilson, national master, showed
tho work done during tho year. Its de
tails will not be mado public until tho
convention has considered It and re
ferred tho suggestions made in it to
various committees. Tho Idea of Mr.
Wilson Is that the work of this con
vention should bo constructive and that
not only should it do what is most ad
Van U'gcous to the fntmer, but should also
tnko steps to reduce the distance be
tween the farmer and the consumer and
bring them Into closo relations.
Tho reception to the visitors last night
brought together a. large body of sub
stantial citizens, Including members of
the. Chamber of Commerce, merchants
manufacturers and professional men,
members of subordinate granges, city,
county and State officials.
Governor Charles R. Mlllor, Mayor
Harrison W. Howell, Joslali Marvel, a
former president of tho Chambor of
Commerce, and John J, Sntterthwalte.
the present president, made addresses of
welcome whllo tho responses were by
Oliver Wilson, master of the national
grange of Teorla, HI.; AV. H. Vary, ot
New York; O. XV. F. Gaunt, master of
the New Jersey State Grange, and Dr.
Samuel Chiles Mitchell, president of
Delawaro College.
One of tho Interesting fenturcs of the
meeting nlll be tho fight made for and
against votes for women. The antl-suf-fraglsts
havo established headquarters
In the hotel, and Miss L. M. Sloan, of
Philadelphia, Is among the most active
In opposing votes for women. Miss Flor
ence Bayard Utiles, a daughter of the
late Secretary of State and Ambnssador
to England, Thomas F. Bayard, will
probably head tho forces trying to get
the grange to declare for suffrage.
It Is expected the three degrees ot tho
order which aro conferred by the Na
tfoiial Qraiigo will bo conferred on about
"600, Thadegrce work will occupy con
siderable of the time during the first three
or four days of the convention.
A committee of women, headed by Mrs.
A. D. Warner nnd composed of n num
ber of women In this city and representa
tives of the various granges, has arrnngod
an excellent program of entertainment

trips to various points of Interest about
J the city, a visit and tea at tho Country
Club and to the Affiliated College for
Women connected with Delawaro College
at Newark. Tea will be served each
afternoon on the mezzanine floor of the
Hotel du Pont and tho women delegates
and visitors will be splendidly entertained.
