MASTER GERALD MOYER
Just like the youngsters of all
times, Master Gerald Moyer, aged 12
years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W.
Moyer, of 408 Crescent street, was
taught songs and rhymes when he was
I a baby. Gerald, however, oang those
i l.aby songs just the least bit better
'than the average baby. When he was
| a little more than a year old, he sang
' that once popular song, "Bill Bally"
| from beginning to end.
Not so very much attention was
paid to the little fellow though, un
til about fifteen months ago when he
took part in a cantata at the Market
Square Presbyterian Church. At that
time his voice was considered so re
markable that his parents decided to
allow him to study music. Since that
i time he has improved wonderfully and
i has taken part in a number of enter
! tainments about the city and vicin
j ity.
Gerald will be one of the drawing
cards at the .audeville show to be
• u-iven in the basement of St. Francis'
Church, Market street, near Fifteenth,
i Tuesday and Wednesday even
ji..j,s. He will appear in a miniature
minstrel act, "A Few Mirutes of Min
strelsy" as the boy soprano soloist and
interlocutor. With him will be as
sociated George Sutton, Benjamin F.
Glass, Wilson Ebersole, J. Thomas
I Keesey, M. William Kennedy, Howard
Hitz, and two well-known fun mak
ers, George C. MarUn and Ralph E.
Schrack.
Master Gerald Moyer is the son of
Joseph W. Moyer, conductor of the
wreck train of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad.

a bloom. Lilies are 5 cents less per
bloom this year and can be had for
20 cents a flower. Azaleas are selling
at from 75 cents up to $5 each.
Hydraijgeas, more plentiful this
year than in the past five years, are
here in many colors and double
j blooms. They sell from $2 to $5 a
plant. A feature In the sale of flow
! ers this year is that not only florists
but every storekeeper in Harrisburg
is a factor in supplying the demand.
Some Easter luxuries will be high
in price—such as strawberries and
| Spring lamb. The Southern straw
berries were hit hard by the recent
| cold spell and are scarce. Strawber-
I ries are selling for 6 0 cents a box.
I Spring lamb is also scarce at 40 cents
i a pound. Tomatoes are cheaper this
I year and can be had for tnree tor 10
cents. Lettuce, celery and early gar-
I den produce will be reasonable in
price.
Eggs Are Plentiful
Eggs will not be scarce as was first
| reported. They were plentiful to-day
\ and sold at 22 cents a dozen. This
• price will prevail to-morrow. There
was an unusual demand for eggs to
day, according to local dealers.
Harrisburg's school children con
tributed hundreds of eggs during the
last two days for the Children's In
dustrial Home and other charitable
institutions, in accordance with the
usual custom.
Just how many dozens were gath
ered has not yet been figured out be
cause the committee in charge is busv
with the count. That the number
will run about the same as in previous
years is generally expected, however.
As a rule the youngesters donate on
an average of an egg each, although
the total varies. The eggs, as well a3
groceries that are frequently brought
by children who don't want to carry
an egg, are packed and distributed to
the various institutions.
Wednesday and yesterday were egg
collection days in the schools.

Five Others Were More or Les»
Injured Following
Plunge
By Associated Press
Norfolk, Va„ April 10. —Two men
were drowned and five others were
more or less injured when an auto
mobile plunged through the gates on
a ferry steamer Into Elizabeth river
last night.
The dead are John Tuly, of New
York, and W. J. Canavan, of Norfolk.
The survivors are William Fintzer, L.
Hanff, Nathaniel Vogel, Burt Johnson
and Richard Smith, all of New York.
Smith received a bad wound on the
head.
Tully and Johnson, who were ar
rested Tuesday in the raid on the
Jamestown race track, had just se
cured bail for their appearance in
court next month and were returning
from Portsmouth to Norfolk when the
accident occurred. The automobile in
some way started just before the boat
reached her slip and plunged through
the gates into the river. Tully and
Canavan did not have time to get out
of the car. The five survivors were
rescued by Howard Heed, a seaman
on the battleship New Hampshire. He
jumped overboard, grabbed two men
by the hair, and the others hung to
his clothing until men on the steamer
puled them on board. All the sur
vivors were sent to a hospital.

nation, giving their reasons for this
the attitude toward Lee on the part of
the State organization.
"The statement from county head
quarters is as fol ows:
" 'We think it is time that the action
of the Democratic State organization
in soliciting funds from postmasters,
directly contrary to law and certainly
ontrary to the highest ideals of poli
tics as exemplified by President Wood
row Wilson, should be known to the
Democrats not only of Pennsylvania
but the nation at large.
" 'There are only half a dozen Demo
crats in charge of post offices In
fchuylkill county, and only three of
these are drawing salaries of over
SJ,OOO a year. All were appointed
upon the recommendation of Con
gressman Robert E. Lee. In the lat
ter part of January the three latter
postmasters, one of whose salary is
SI,BOO, a second $2,400 and the third
$3,100, were visited by Wilson Bailey,
an agent of Democratic State head
quarters. Bailey asked that thi'se
postmasters contribute 5 per cent, of
•heir year's salary to the Democratic
State treasury, promising that part of
tills money would be returned by the
>'tate committee to the county com
nittee. The contributions were all to
he made not later than May 1, al
though at that time all the post-!
masters will have been in office con
siderably less than a year.
" 'As an encouragement to timid or
reluctant postmasters Bailey declared
that Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral James I. Blaksiee had already
contributed sfioo to the same fund,
and that favorable action would be
highly appreciated by State officials.
" 'When informed that such contri
butions were not only contrary to law
ind civil service regulations, as well
is good public policy, Bailey suggested
method of cohering up the conte
ntions by postmasters contributing
" 'To postmasters whose attitude gave
Bailey the idea that they would will
ingly contribute, but were not ready to
lo so at once, the State solicitor pre
sented the following form of promis
sory note for them to sign: "X prom
ise to pay to the treasurer of the
Pennsylvania State Democratic com
mittee as contribution to campaign
funds the sum of . (Signed)
" 'The Democratic State organization
has taken a hostile attitude toward
Congressman Robert E. Lee, and this
attempt to solicit funds from the post
masters in his district, if successful,
would probably have resulted in part
of the funds being used to defeat Lee
for renomination. as James 1. Blakslee
and others closely connected with the
State organization are known to have
lately been in consultation with Daniel
F. Guinan, Lee's opponent for the
congressional nomination.
"If the officials of the State organ
ization desire, we can produce proof
such as would be accepted in any
court of law for all of the above state
ments'."
