KQHITK OPENS HIS
ELECTION CIMPM
Elaborate Telegraphic Arrange
ments Made For Circulation
of Premier's Speech
I.adybank, Scotland. April 4.—Pre
mier Asquith opened his election cam
paign this afternoon in the Masonic
Hall of this little village. The hall is
a diminutive building with a holding
capacity limited to 800. Under these
circumstances the speech of the Prime
Minister was made to the sixty re
porters present rather than to the
delegates of the Scottish Liberal As
sociation who filled the rest of the
hall.
The elaborate telegraphic arrange
ments for the circulation of the Pre
mier's address throughout the United
Kingdom testified to the importance
attached to the" speech in- political
circles.
Premier Asquith. as befitted a man
who had Just assumed the duties of
Secretary of State for War, quickly
approached the subject of the army
crisis. He said he had felt it to be
his duty in the higher interests of
both army and state, to assume his
new office because "a grave situation
had been created both in regard to the
discipline of the army and in connec
tion with its relation to the civil
power."
The Premier continued:
"There is a certainty that 1f thins*
went or. as they had threatened to do
•a controversy would have arisen which
every patriotic man would have been
anxious to avoid until a case of crucial
urgency arose."

Governor Tener Urges Conserva

Document
| Governor Tener to-day Issued his
i proclamation formally designating
April 17 and April 24 as the Spring
j arbor days and recommending not
i only the planting of trees but that the
rising generation should be taught the
value of birds and animals.
The proclamation says:
"Whereas an awakened public con
science has made Pennsylvania the
foremost among the States in the en
ergetic and practical work of restora
tion and preservation of forest lands
and the promotion of tree culture,
"Now, therefore, inasmuch as the
observance' of arbor days has been
productive of material public good, I
hereby designate Friday, April 17, and
Friday, April 24, 1914, as arbor days.
"It is earnestly recommended that
the people throughout the State take
• an active part in the planting of trees
along the public hignways and
streams, upon the waste lands, in tne
schpol grounds and public and private
parjts. in . order to provide for the
needs of future generations.
"It is also recommended that the
.educators of this State, of whatsoever
station, in addition to avocating the
planting of trees, teach the rising gen
eration the economic value of birds
and animals, and that kindness to
them is not only humane but of bene
fit to man."
COUNT MICHAEL KAROLYI
TO TOUR EASTERN STATES
By Associated Press
New York, April 4. —Count Michael
Karolyi, leader of the independent
party in the Hungarian Parliament
and one of the wealthiest men in Hun
gary, arrived here to-day on the
steamship Mauretania. He will spend
nearly two weeks touring the Eastern
section of the United States.
Count Karolyi said the object of his
visit was to awaken in the minds of
Hungarian-Americans a realization of
the power which they can exert in
shaping the affairs of their mother
country along the lines of democrati
zation, for which his party is working.
DECKS CLEARED FOR FIRST
BASEBALL LEGAL BATTLE
By Associated Press
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 4.
Decks were cleared in United States
District Court here to-day for the first
real legal battle between organized
baseball and the Federal League. Wil
liam F. Killiffer, the catcher who be
gan his baseball career with Michigan
teams and worked his way to the ma
jors, was the storm-center. The ques
tion for the court to decide was
whether Killifer is the property of the
Chicago team of the Federal League
or belongs to the Philadelphia Na

of the cities of Saltillo and Monterey,
the capitals of the States of Coahuiia
and Nuevo Leon.
Northward from Saltillo toward
Monterey, little difficulty might be en
countered by the federal troops and
it is not improbable that the fugi
tives from Torreon will make an at
tempt to join the federal garrison at
Monterey.
Not a Simple Task
The escape of General Velasco and
his men from the rebels, however, does
not appear to be a simple task. Their
retreat toward Durango t > the south
west or to the north or east is said bj
military men to be impossible unless
they cut their way through rebel ter
ritory.
The railroa-1 which connects Tor
reon and Zacatecas to the south has
long been out of commission and now
serves only to mark the trail ovei
which General Velasco and his troop?
will have to march. Before reachin-
Zacatecas it is thought certain tha
General Velasco will encounter the
rebel forces under General Panfilo
Vatera and will probably suffer from
flanking attacks by rebel troops from
Durango.
Military men not intimately con
nected with the federal administrator
express the opinion to-day that Gen
eral Velasco's retreat will resolve it
self into an effort of each man foi
himself. They say that the next move
of' the rebels will be to start cam
paigns against Saltillo and Monterej
and possibly subsidiary expedition?
against Zacatecas lying directly south
of Torreon.
At the same time the rebel task of
attacking and capturing Tampico on
the coast of the gulf . f Mexico con
tinues under the direction of General
Pablo Gonzales from his headquar
ters in the city of Victoria.
Another large quantity of small
arms and machine guns—although it
is not to be compared with the amount
j captured at Torreon—was added to
the rebel supply this week when a
! federal force under Colonel Emriquez
| Perez was cut to pieces northwest of
iof San Luis Potosi.

IVOR, IS DEMI
[Continued from First Page]
member of Dr. Kremer's church two
years ago.
Born in Middletown
In the death of Maurice C. Eby,
Harrlsburg has lost one of Its widest
known men. He was burn at Miadle
town in May, 1846. His parents were
Jacob Rupley Eby and Elizabeth
Gross Eby, who moved to Harrisburg
in 1847, taking up their residence at
502 Market street Later the Eby
home was located at 500 Market
street. On an opposite corner was
the general store of Eby and Kunkel.
■This firm in later years was known as
Jacob R. Eby and Son and Eby broth
ers. Later Maurice C. Eby was the
proprietor, continuing at the old stand
until 1904 when he closed out his
business following the opening of the
Market street subway.
Mr. Eby was educated in the Har
risburg schools and at Lafayette col
lege, being one of the first to enter
that institution as a student of the
scientific department. Following his
graduation from Lafayette college,
Mr. Eby made a three-year tour of
the continent The greater part of
the time he spent at Geneva, Switzer
land and Carlsruhe, Baden. In fol
lowing yearß Mr. Eby made other
tours, and he told with much interest
of his travels, and of old land marks
in foreign lands.
As proprietor of the general store
at Fifth and Market streets in 1871,
Mr. Eby became widely known among
the farmers of the vicinity. He es
tablished one of the first seed stores
Harrlsburg ever had and farms for
miles around raised crops from seeds
sold by the Eby firm. Mr. Eby also
did a large wholesale business.
Common Councilman
Mr. Eby w«s a Democrat in poll
tics. In 1889 he represented the Ninth
ward In the old common council. Two
years before ho had been made the
first agent for the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals in Har
risburg and while in Council he pre-
and had passed an ordinance
making it a misdemeanor to allow
j broken glass, lumber, stones, coal.
| etc., to remain in the streets In order
to protect the horses.
In 1893 he was elected Mayor of
the city and he enforced most rigidly
the provisions of all ordinances framed
with a view to protecting animals. It
was he who first Inaugurated the sys
tem of caring for "drunks" without
sending them to jail and many a man
given a chance to sober up avoided
jail punishment during the career of
Mayor Eby.
City's "Big Brother"
It was during his twenty years' ad
ministration as probation officer that
Maurice C. Eby was referred to by
Judge Kunkel as the "Big Brother*,
of Harrisburg. He was faithful in his
duties in bringing juvenile offenders
into court, but he always plead for
leniency and stood sponsor for many
boys. Many a youth to-day Is lead
ing a good life because of the Interest
shown by Mr. Eby. As probation of
ficer Mr. Eby served without any pay.
For the past fourteen years Mr.
Eby had been living at his home on
Cottage Ridge, Third and Maclay
streets. When the Sixth ward was di
vided and that portion of the ward
became a part of the Eleventh, Mr.
Eby was elected without opposition
as alderman and he served in that
capacity until this year when he was
succeeded by George D. Herbert.
His Country Home
Shortly after his first illness, Mr.
Eby had a country residence at Grant
ham, Cumberland county. For sev
eral years the Orantham home was
a popular place on July 4. On this
day Mr. Eby always provided enter
tainment for the residunts of Cumber
land county for many miles around.
Mr. Eby was a charter member of
the old Harrisburg Board of Trade
and was its president during the first
year the Board of Trade met In the
Market street building. Mr. Eby was
ulso one of the charter members of
the Dauphin County Historical So
ciety. Many relics now in the posses
sion of the Historical Society were
gifts from Mr. Eby.
Mr. Eby was identified with the old
Harrisburg City Passenger Railway.
Company, the Citizens Passenger Rail- '
way Company and subsequent com- |
panies now under control of the Har-1
risburg Railways Company. He wag !
a charter member of Robert Burns
Lodge, No. 464, F. and A. M.. and was
also a member of the Pennsylvania,
Oerman Society.
As Mayor of H&rrisburg, Mr. Eby
originated the Major's Quick Charity
Fund as a permanent project. Pre- 1
vious to his administration, the fund
was taken up only during the winter.
Later Mr. Eby was one of the men
who brought about the organization of
Associated Charities. I
Even during his illness Mr. Eby did
not overlook any Important municipal i
event and made Inquiries regarding

| municipal Christmas tree, the ropes
were let down and the street waa
, cleared to allow the former Mayor to

i desire to remain for the exercises but
I his health would not permit.
In politics Maurice C. Eby was a
staunch Democrat. He answered
•very call from his party to duty anil
, was one of the charter members of
|th Central Democratic club which
had its headquarters for many years
in tlie College block building in North
Third street. While a Democrat in
principals Mr. Eby was liberal in his
views on municipal questions and this
gave him a strong prestige with mem
bers of other political parties,
i Three weeks ago Mr. Eby asked to
be taken a ride over the city and in
company with his sister, Miss Fannie,
he visited various places of interest.
