ALIi ASKED TO AID
RELIEF COMMITTEE
Fcltow-Cltlxens As the chairman of
a division Intrusted with organizing
branches of tho Emergency Aid Com
mittee. I appeal to you on this Thanks
giving Day.
Wo believe that It Is possible for
us to crrnto a tremendous force for
helping our fellow-men, now surfer.
Ing at homo and abroad, by uniting
Into one great company of workers,
the religious societies, the church
guilds, tho progressive civic and
civic clubs, the sewing circles and
other new aid societies formed, nnd
to bo formed, for the purpose of
working for others, distributing the
resources thus obtained through tho
already organized societies.
It Is obvious that If n great body
of representative people, all eager to
lighten the prevailing world-wide ml;
cry, can bo organized under one em
clant administration, there will bo no
overlapping of bene tils to tho deserv
ing and a minimum danger of fraud
from tho unworthy.
Everybody can help. We are thrilled
by the spontaneous generosity of tho
very poor, who arc sharing their pen
nies with their brothers In greater
need. 'While only a few can glvo
much, a great many can glvo a little,
and each one can give something, If It
bo only labor.
We shall begin Immediately to or
ganize In your community or wnrd a
branch of the Emergency Aid Com
mittee. Will you not Join us?
Many thousands In this great, gen
erous city are destitute nnd suffer
ing, homeless and In despair. They
will be hungry on this Thanksgiving
Day. Will you not help them now by
sending what you can In money to
Drexel & Co., depository for the
Emergency Aid Committee's funds 7

Spending Thanksgiving In a cell In the

ORDER RESTORED
IN CITY OF MEXICO
BY CIVILIAN POLICE
xcitement Caused by En
trance of Zapata's Band
Quelled Bandit Leader's
Whereabouts Unknown.
MEXICO, MTV, Nov. 25 (.Dclnycd).
Bands of nrmed citizens, organized as
vigilantes, tonight have established a
semblance of order from the chaos of
yesterday and today. Except In certain
sections of the capital looting and dis
orders have ceased. Tho police, for a
time, were unablo to aid In enforcing
order, us many of them had been dls-
J armed when tho first of ttnpata's troop-
em entered the city.
If Zapata himself entered Mexico City
J lie has kept himself and his whereabouts
i concealed. Not even those who have
I constituted themselves the authorities ap-
j pcarcd to know whether the bandit leader
was In tho city.
Htrcet enr trnfllc. which stopped alto
gether when Zapata's ndvance guard first
began to pour Into the streets with much
wild shooting of rifles and revolvers, was
partly resumed tonight. The first out
burst of the Zapatistas caused intense
consternation nnd apprehension. Later
tho soldiers aided the sclt-constltuted citi
zen guards in restoring In some degree
normal conditions.
VILLA KEEPING PLEDGE
Washington Hears H1b Bandit Aid
Is Fulfilling Promises.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 26. Villa's
promlso to tho United States that all of
his lieutenants will preserve order In
Mexico Is being kept. Zapata, who has
thrown his fortunes with Villa. Is ruling
Mexico City with an Iron hand. His
men, former bnndlts, nre preserving order.
Villa himself will be In the city not later
than Snturday, according to messages re
ceived by tho State Department early
todny.
The fact that John It. Sllllmnn, United
Stntes Consul nt Mexico City, has been
ordered to Vera Cruz to Join Carranza is
taken here to mean that Villa actually
controls In Mexico City, as Sllllman would
not have been withdrawn as long as there
wns any damngo whatever to foreigners.
All of tho messages emphasize the fact
that Znpnta quelled the Incipient rioting
Immediately on entering the city. The
looting that followed tho departure of
Blanco and the taking possession by
Zapata'wns confined to a single section
of the city. The State Department ad
vices from (ho Brazilian Minister, who
Is looking nfter the Interests of the
United States In Mexico City, say that
only Inconsequential damage resulted
from tho rioting.
A message received from Consul Sllll
man todny Is understood to have reveal
ed tho exact whereabouts of Villa and
his forces. The text Is withheld by the
department for tho present. It Is known,
however, thnt Sllllman has stated that
VHIaIs within touch of the capital nnd
could reach It In less thnn a day by a
forced march. In fact, unofllclnl mes
sages reaching here during Inst night
placed Villa already in tho outskirts of
tho capital. However, the State Depart
ment Insisted early today that no such
Information was in its possession.

The riot started, according to Tock,
when a dozen sailors demanded a Thanks
giving dinner of turkey. Tho nearest
thing ho had to It proved to be chop auey.
Dishes and cutlery were hurled about tha
room and every mirror In the place
smashed. Tables and chairs were over
turned, and then some one began throw
ing bottles at the lights. In a few mo
ments the place was In darkness.
The sailors then rushed for the exists.
Tock blocked the way and was badly
beaten. Policeman Smith, attracted by
the noise, got to the door In time to catch
Strlckman, He was taking his prisoner
toward 9th street when threo other men
crept up behind him and one of them
struck him with a bottle. Another blue

'WHY
CONVICTS HAVE "BIG EATS"
AS THANKSGIVING TREAT
Sour Krout and Frankfurters Holi
day Fare at Eastern Penitentiary.
You wouldn't believe, would you. tho
law's captives hedged In behind the tall,
gray walls of the Eastern Penitentiary
could bo animated by a warm spirit of
gratitude on this sunshiny Thanksgiving
Day?
They're celebrating Thnnksglvlng at the
penitentiary,' and one of the chief cnusex
for gratitude Is for the splendid democ
racy which prevails. Kvcn on a fenst day
such as this every man from the lowliest
thief to the richest banker, who went
"crooked," shares and shares alike. It
doesn't matter how Influential a man's
friends on the outside may be, or how
much of the world's goods he himself may
possess, at the Eastern Penitentiary each
and every Inmate sits down to precisely
the same kind of meal.
Only this morning the famll yof a man
who was a broker of some reputation, but
who made way with his client's funds,
sent him a Thanksgiving box In defiance
of the prison rules. In the box wns n
dellclous-looklng spice cake and other
holiday goodies.
"Send it back." said Warden "Bob"
McKenty Inexorably, thinking of the man
lower down the class ladder, "he's no bet
ter than any one else hero and there are
no exceptions to be made, otherwise we
will have the whole place discontented."
The meal provided at the penitentiary
for Thanksgiving Dny is not the sump
tuous affair of soups to nuts, with turkey
and cranberries In between, which the
average mind conceives. This, nccordlng
to the warden, even If the State approved
of serving It to them, would make the
prisoners III. because they arc not accus
tomed to such rich heavy fare.
What they had was what they have
come to regard as the best thing on
earth In the way of "cats" sour krout
and Frankfurters.
All of the schools at the penitentiary
are closed today nnd the men are spend
ing their tlmo either reading, writing let
ters or pursuing their various hobbles.
SHIPS' CREWS EAT TURKEY
Only a Eew Galley Chefs Serve Usual
"Duff" Today.
Imbued with the American Thanksglv
Ing spirit, many masters of vessels In
poit here fed their crews turkey today.
On some" of the foreign ehlps the meal
was a delightful treat. On a few ships,
however, the galley chefs refused to
depart from the ordinary and the sea
men ate the usual 'duff." Longshore
men, who have been deprived of much
work because of the demoralized condition
of shipping due to the European war,
were thankful for whatever they could
get.
One bronzed skipper combed Dock
street early this morning looking for a
place to buy a turkey for his crew. He
found none. At the offices of his agents,
A. D. Cumnjlns, 333 Walnut street, his
chagrin was turned to Joy as Mr. Cum
mins had obtained a turkey for the
captain, knowing his ship would dock
late yesterday.
The skipper 'was Captain Pierce, of the
four-masted schooner Maleolm Baxter,
Jr. The yessel came In last night from
Boston.

Elopers Frustrated nt Elkton, But
Meet Success nt Baltimore.
MISS FREDA G. KLEIST
Her wedding to Francis Byrne
was opposed by Joseph T. Byrne,
brother of the bridegroom.
That "the course of true love Is a
rcugh one," but that "love will find a
way." proved true yesterday in the af
fair of Francis Byrne, 3106 North 28th

Klelst. Joseph T. Byrne, the former's
brother and guardian, objected to the
marriage because Francis is but 20 years

nnd wired the Elkton officials not to Is.
suo the elopers a 'marriage license.
Joseph Byrne Is a brick manufacturer
here, , ,
. "I will marry Freda In spite of my
brother, or anybody else," Francis de
clared heatedly, and bo the two took the
1:21 train to Baltimore. At 3:65 tljey
reached the Marriage license Bureau
there, Just as the clerk was closing for
tho afternoon. He obligingly. Issued
them a license. They theji started to
find a minister.
The lovers walked the streets of Balti
more for miles, but could find no one to.
marry them, They learned through in
quiry the address of a minister who
married many people and they hurried
to the address. The pastor was a
Negro.
In desperation, Byrne stopped a man
In clerical garb on the street '
"I'll wed you. If you hurry," the min
ister said, and they hastened to bis
house and were married.
"Joe thinks he's clever," said Francis
today, "but I guess I'm the cleverer of
tho two!"

Grocery Company, prevented the flames
from spreading to the upper floors, By
tho time firemen arrived the smoke had
penetrnted to all parts of the building
and waa pouring In denso clouds from
the cellar and first floor. It was Impos
sible to enter the building and the fire
threw'streams of water Into the first floor

The parsons carried out by Policeman
fhea were Mrs. Carrie Ashcraft nnd her
daughter and sou. Tho family of Charles

ered. Policeman Shea, by massaging Its
chest to Induce respiration, succeeded in
reviving It.

be enabled to enjoy the music from seats
In other parts of the house. Mr. BoT? an
nounced at a private concert given UbI
nigl)t In honor of himself and Leopold
Btpwokskl, director of the orchestra, that
he personally would pay the difference In
the cost of amphitheatre seats and those
vacant in other parts of the house so that
those of limited means might not be de
prived of enjoying" the concerts.
' I fee,l that persons. who are music hun.
sry should hear good music," said Mr,
Bok, "I have not yet completed the plan
whereby I may carry out my Idea without
being Imposed upon, but will make the
necessary arrangements within a short
time.'.
Director Stowokskl, dtseusslng the
.musical possibilities at Philadelphia,
which he called the "rausloai Athens of
America," said this city certainly should
have an opera company of It own. The
Philadelphia Orchestra could co-operate
with such a company to mutual advan

While the powers of the New Jersey

The announcement by F. D. Underwood,
president of tho Erlo Railroad, that tho

crease tho rinsscnger rates, although the

BISHOP NEELY POINTS OUT
MANY CAUSES POP. THANKS
TJiere are many reasons, and from
the many we present a few;
Wo should be thankful that we are
alive, for "while there Is llfo thoVe Is
liopo";
Keniuse of the bountiful harvests
which are sufficient to feed all the In
habitants so that this Is nut a famine
landr .
Because hardly anything Is so bad
that It might not be worse, and we do
not have anything worse than wo
have;
Because, though business Is not
good everywhere, ye,t there Is a
promise of better conditions, and when
ono business prospers other lines soon
er later share In the prosperity;
tr or later sharo In the prosperity;
we have a chance to make them right,
for the people can rule If they will
xtake the troublo to do so;
Becauso If politics are not right,
has not entirely disappeared and 1U
place has not been taken by forma of
mob rule, but the chosen men elected
by the people still confer and decide
for the people, and courts are not over
ruled by tho mass or the mob;
Because representative government
still exists, and is in force, and our
Constitutional Government Is not a
despotism putting the rule Into the
power of one man;
Because our National Constitution
Government through three Independent
departments, which are not to coerce
each other, and the people can pre
vent the coercion of any department
by another;
Because .our little brigade In Vera
Crus did not kltl mpro Mexicans and
did not lose more men, even If It did
not accomplish yery much, and that
the plders are safely bagk In a bet,
ter country and a better climate; '
. Because that, unlike suffering Bu,
rope, our land I t peaoe, and that
having been warned as to possible
dangers, from war-like nations, we
have time to look to our defenses and
get our navy and army ready to d.
fend our shores and to preserve the
peace;.
Because that as a nation we still
have the State separated from the
church, tnd that the neeplo are be
ginning tp open their eyes to possible
and actual dangys;
Because we have the light of Chris,
tlanlty instead of the darkness of
heathenism.

DETECTIVES SPREAD
DRAGNET FOR THREE
NEW YORK
Probably Largest Number
Ever Assigned to Unravel
Murder Mystery Seek
Poultry Man's Slayer.
NEW YORK, Nov. M.-Probably the
largest m-tnber of detectives ever as
signed here to unravel a murder mystery
are nt work today seeking the two men
and, tho chauffeur who shot and killed
Barnet Bart, tho foe of tho poultry trust
In this city, Philadelphia and other East
ern trade centres, and then escaped In an
automobile.
Police Commissioner Woods and his best
crime experts nro working on three theo
ries as possible motives for the murder.
One Ir thnt ccrtnln members of the poul
try combination against whom Baff
turned Informant hired gunmen to as
sassinate him. Another Is that friends of
the five Itnllans who were sent to 81m?
Sing for ldotlng one of Raft's stores last
March matte good their threat to "get
even" with him. The third theory Is, he
wns killed by men known to the trade na
"chicken pullers" and who are acknowl
edged ns general had men.
Members of nn organization of poultry
denlcra whom Baft helped to convict, but
whose ensea nre pending on appeal, no
longer are suspected of being Involved In
tho conspiracy. Revenge undoubtedly
was tho motive for the murder, but It was
thnt of tho convicted men, tho pollco
believe.
In support, of the "chicken pullers"
theory. It Is pointed out that Baft had
been n foe of these men. He discharged
all of them In his employ a year ago and
engaged men more to his liking.. Gun
lights nnd the loss 6f much of his' stock
caused him to change his tactics.
Outside of tho threo theories, tho police
acknowledge they havo done little so far
In establishing tho Identity of the assas
sins. One-of tho automobile numbers
handed thorn proved to bo that of a
reputable Brooklyn man.

wright, hns sent a hearty Indorsement
of tho Boy Scout fund campaign to Dr.
Charles D. Hart, chairman of the Ex
ecutive Council, upon hearing of tho np
pcnl for J50.000 with which to Increase
the city's Scout membership by 10,000
hoys. Tho letter Just received by Doctor
Hart, says In part:
"It Is my understanding that the most
important human organization now In
existence. Is thnt called 'Boy Scouts.'
"As we grow older wo find the years
short and too few; soon Indeed the boys
who nre boyn now will be In charge of
our affairs, nnd of the affairs of the
world. Whoever loves his country must
bo something more than glad that the
way has been found to stimulate and
foster Idcnls oT unselfishness, health and
efficiency In this great body of boys.
"There Is no other movement which
can do so much for this country. The
promise of tho Scouts Is not only tho
promise of wholesome and honorable
manhood for themselves, but of sane nnd
generous behavior on tho part of the
nation as a State. For It may be con
sidered proven nowadays, that nothing
Is moro wholesome than generosity and
that nothing Is saner than honor, even
for a State.
"In tho Boys Scouts the future Is al
ready In existence und In their Ideals Is
tho future's highest promise."
The plans nre completed for the big
campaign. Headquarters have been pre
pared on the ninth floor of the Curtis
Building, nnd tomorrow afternoon at
12:30 o'clock there will be a meeting

that time the leaders will report con
cerning tho organization of their teams

thero will be a dinner In the Curtis
Building headquarters, at which tlQje th
campaign will be formally opened. All

force of I0O. The work Is to be done on

"Sure It doe You sen In hard times
the people economize. They eat plainer
food and less of It, and consequently do
not get Bick. Then, again, not having
any money, they don't call (n the doctor
In the event of sickness, and they get
well) So you can plainly see Horn It af

There's an ounce of philosophy in what
the undertaker says. If we live plainly,
we live better, healthier and happles Uvea,
