SECRETARY OF WAR LINDLEY M Who is included in practically all j of the war conferences now going on in Washington. Harrisburg Rotary Club Gives Dinner Members of the Harrisbrug Rotary Club, to the number of 100, dined at the Colonial Country Club last evening. John S. Musser, president of the \ club, was toastmaster, and Howard C. Fry, secretary, was in charge of ar- i rangements. William S. Essick spoke I on "What the Other Fellow Thinks of| You." and the Rev. Dr. D. E. Lewis, of Bridgeton. X. J., formerly of Harris burg, delivered a talk on "A Sensible Optimist." There were toys for all the "boys" ! who attended, and a special garden set, straw hat and big bandana, were pre sented to President Musser. Mr. Musser tried to explain that while he does live in the country he isn't exactly a farmer but nobody would take his word, for he bore evidence of his rural occupa tions in the shape of a bee sting on the forehead so apparent that the presi dent felt called upon to >f->lain how it happened. Singing of some serially prepared songs was a feature. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these may brethern, even these least, ye did it unto me.— Matt. 25:40. 10 ORDERS; SAYS GENERAL STEWART Adjutant General Comments on the Broadside of Rumors About Guard and War £ "We have not • issued any orders A for organizations of the National /wKftjfiv Guard to bo prc- Ito fpWjygFvV pared for war ser vice; we have not M JMEW i WWM& Axed nn >' camp for rrPjIuUIjUIJE mobilization, and | wo have done ' nothing at all ."■-■a about calling out the National Guard for war service. We will not do anything until we hear from Washington, because until wo do we will not know what the govern ment want*,' said Ad.lutant General Thomas J. Stewart, as a composite re ply to a thousand and c>no questions about the Guard to-day. The Adjutant General pointed out that first the State must be asked to furnish troops and will designate what it wants, and then a mobilization point, which will depend upon the way the orders come from Washing ton, will be fixed, and the militia or dered to the camp by a certain day. Things will go just as in the Spanish War. When asked about the rumors that organizations had been ordered to be prepared to move, the General said: "The National Guard is always ready. It has shown that in the post. No I orders have gone out from this office | for anyone to be prepared to do any thing." In reply to whether there was any special significance in the activity at the State Arsenal, where shipments are being made, the General said that only the usual requisitions were being tilled. Ordinance Rejected.—The applica tion of the Wilkes-Barre Light Com pany for the approval of a franchise ordinance, giving it the right to erect its poles, wires, etc., in the city of Wilkes-Barre, was rejected to-day by the Public Service Commission. A protest had been filed to the effect that the applicant had been in the hands of a receiver since 1912, and has no power to enter into the proposed con tract; and, furthermore, that it has not financial ability to render service. The protestant company showed that it has its plant and equipment erected in the city at the cost of $2,300,000. Appointed Notaries, William H. Chaters and H. A. Douglas have been appointed notaries public for this city. Members Here. Representatives Wilson and Cox, Philadelphia; Mc- Caig, Pittburgh, and Coniff, Plains, were at the Capitol to-day.

Foster, chief engineer of the State Highway Department, who made u tour of inspection of roads between this city and Pittsburgh, reported that the State highways were in good shape considering weather conditions. May Put OfT Argument.—Argument on the automobile license suit may be postponed by the Dauphin County Court. A conference will be held late to-day by Attorney General Bell with Attorneys for the Auditor General. A motion to quash the case has been made. Ad Gumbert Named.—Ad Gumbert, the old-time baseball player, who lias been named as an inspector for the Public Service Commission, to-day re ported for duty. He will make inspec tions in the western end of the State. Mr. Gumbert was formerly in the de partment of charities in Pittsburgh.

Senators Nulty, Philadelphia, and McNichols, Scran ton, were here looking after nomina tion papers. Making Survey.—The new economy and efficiency commissioners are con- I tinuins their survey of the depart mental systems on the Hill. It is ex pected that it will take a month to get all of the information in hand. Arretted Dealer.—J. A. Christie, of near 'Reynoldsville, pleaded guilty to charges brought by the State Live stock Sanitary Board for violating the interstate cattle law. Mr. Christie brought cattle into Pennsylvania from New York without being accompanied jhy the required health certificate. When examined at Mr. Christie's farm by State agents, who were assisted by Dr. Frank A.

BUTLER'S LIFE > RECORD OF BRAVERY "Ideal American Soldier" Com manding American Marines at Vera Cruz Is a Pennsylvanian Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C., April 22.—Major Smedley D. Butler, commanding the marines at Vera Cruz, is the son of Representative Thomas S. Butler, of West Chester. He is Known in the corpß as "Gimlet Eye" and the "Fight ing Quaker." His engagement yes terday marked his fifteenth expedition and the forty-fifth time he has been under fire. Colonel Roosevelt once character ized Butle as the "Ideal American sol dier." He equipped himself and Ills men. numbering 1,000, for this par ticular work by special training in Panama. There the marines learned to build railroads and bridges and run locomotives. In his latter days at | Panama Major Butler instituted a school to teach the marines Spanish. Most of the officers and a great num ber of men can readily understand the language spoken in Mexico. In the last ten days, since Major Butler ar rived at Mexico, he has traveled In plain clothes in many sections and is familiar with the lay of the land from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Major Butler is the best known young officer In the marines, the most experienced, the best tactician and the most daring. He has the record of the Pekin and Philippine campaigns, and the recent rebellion in Nicaragua, to guide him in what will be a similar campaign in Mexico, Begins to Flfflit as a Boy At the outbreak of the Spanish War, when less than 17 years of age, young Butler enlisted In the marines. He left the Haverford grammar school, and, against the will of his father, took a competitive examination for lieutenant in the marine service and passed second in a class of more than 200. As a second lieutenant Butler served in the war on board Admiral Sampson's llagship, the Now York. After the war he was assigned to duty in the Philippines as first lieu tenant of Company G, First Marine Battalion, and later, during the Boxer troubles in China, he was ordered to join the Pekin relief column with Company A of the same battalion. Major Butler, who was then not 20 years old, distinguished himself so re markably in China, particularly in the attack on Tientsin, in which he was wounded, that he was promoted "for eminent and conspicuous conduct" to a captaincy. He was shot in the thigh at Pekin while supporting Riley's battery. After recovering from that injury he made one of the most daring fights of the outbreak before Tientsin. With an other officer, Captain Harding, he car ried an injured marine seven miles, being forced to drop the injured sol dier occasionally to defend them selves from the Chinamen. At Tientsin, on July 13, 1900, Major Butler and Captain Lemley, of the marines, both were wounded. Butler was shot in the left leg. making it useless, and Lemley in the right. They were on the field with no conveyance to take them to the hospital. They tied their wounded legs together and in that way walked to tho hospital. While at Tientsin he became ill- from typhoid fever, but recovered when taken to sea by Admiral Remey on the flagship Brooklyn. Kci'usod Victorian Cross Butler is said to be the only Ameri can soldier upon whom the English sought to confer the Victorian Cross for bravery. While fighting with the forces of England and Japan Butler rescued an enlisted man under a rain of fire. This government would not permit him to receive the decoration. Before going to Panama Butler commanded the marines in Nicaragua. He was there for three years and had many narrow escapes. In the last three years he and his men were at Camp Elliot, in the Panama Canal Zone. There they prepared to man the rairload from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Pennsylvania Officers Many other Pennsylvanians and Philadelphians are In the list of offi cers now at the front, or who will probably be engaged. Among them are Captain William Reeves Rush, commanding the battleship Florida; Lieutenant-Commander Henry Croskey Mustin, acting captain of the battle ship Mississippi, and Lieutenant-Com mander Arthur Barnes Keating, of Philadelphia, who is the executive offi cer of tho dreadnought Arkansas, Ad miral Badger's flagship. Lieutenant-Commander Mustin is a son of Mrs. William F. Lloyd, of Ger mantown. His wife is a sister of Brigadier-General George Barnett, commandant of the marine corps. Commander Mustin is a brother-in law of Marshall Earl Reid, the aviator, and has taken great interest in that sport. Others on the list of men of Penn sylvania who are speeding to the Mex ican waters are: John Gayiord, lieutenant-commander on the battleship Virginia. William Norris. lieutenant-com mander on the battleship Florida. Lieutenant Charles Thomas Hutch- Ins, torpedoboat destroyer Beale. Lieutenant Hiram Leech Irwin, bat tleship Rhode Island. Lieutenant Jumes Steret Wood, bat tleship Georgia. Junior Lieutenant Paul Ernest Skiclier. the Rhode Island. Ensign Roland Marcy Comfort, curiser Tacoma.

Deaths and Funerals CHILD DIES The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross McCann died yesterday morning at the home of the parentsfi 1329 Bartine street. Funeral services were held this afternoon. Burial was made in the East Harrisburg Cemetery. GAMEIUA HEM DEAD Gamellia Reni, aged 50. of 30 South Second street, died yesterday afternoon at tlie Harrisburg Hospital. Funeral service* will be held to-morrow after noon, at".". o'clock. Burial will be made In the Mt. Calvary Cemetery, SCENES MERE 111 IS NOW ON RECILLED [Continued from First Page.] nearer the military barracks. Vera Cruz lies only a few feet abovo the sea level. The approach from the wharf is a broad open space upon which one can watch the people promenade In the evenings when the bands play. Tells of Custom House "The cuitom house Is somewhat larger than our post office and faces on this open space. This little tower which Lieutenant Commander Buch anan ordered toppled from its base because it held Mexican sharpshoot ers, I can't remember," smiled Mr. Copelin. "However I guess that doesn't matter much —now, eh?" "The biggest hotel, the Deligencia. is the largest in the city, of course, and the cafe and dining rooms face upon th» square. Tables are placed in the open besides the hotel. And that affordn the beggars a chance to annoy you while you eat. Believe me, they do it, too. "Two railroads, a broad and a nar row guage line, run from Vera Cruz to Mevico City, a distance I believe of about 2G4 miles. Both roads are really splendid feats of engineering. In that distance an altitude of 7,000 feet is gained and the tracks wind round and round, in and out through tunnels and over bridges that cross great gorges. If the railroads were ever destroyed it would be months be fore they could be repaired. If Amer ica ntroops ever went into Mexico City they would probably have to do it just as old General Scott did by marching. Fortifications at Vera Cruz "The fortifications at Vera Cruz? Well, as I remember it, they don't amount to much. The Fort d' Ulloa that has been spoken of is in the har bor and is, or was usedins a peniten tiary. By the way, unless they've been removed there are at least two Amer icans now confined in the cells far beneath the surface of the barbor waters. One man was an insurance agent and the other was a physician. They were convicted of congpiring to insure and then poison victims for the policies and were sent to the peni tentiary for life/ Could they hear the thunder of the guns of Uncle Sam's warships? Well, 1 don't know—the chances are they're pretty far down. "Mexico City? Well, that's a mighty big place, about half a million popu lation I should judge. It's an up-to date city too. It's altogether likely that the very latest in draped and slit skirt effects and tango ties can be seen in the streets of the Mexican capital to-day. "Evening is the best time to sese the people. They come out to prome nade and listen to the band. Bands? Why there are band pavillions and bands scattered all through the city. Give your Mexican his band music— and he's pretty well satisfied. They're mighty good bands, too, as a rule. And the well-to-do, well dressed and occasionally mantilla droped Mexican girl can be seen there as can the poor er, blanket or scrape draped peon. Tells of Park "Just where Huerta sat to hear the band the night the time limit on Uncle Sam's patience expired I don't know, but I do remember the band pavillion in Chapultepec Park. The park Is a beautiful one and is about twice as large of our Capitol Park. It is on the eminence of Cliapultepec that towers right out of a plain be y nd the city, three or four hundred feet in the air. The Mexican presi dent has his summer home there. "Chapultepec is also the military training school and corresponds to our West Point. One of the things that impressed me most was the hail of fame there—around Its walls were hung the oil paintings of the students who were killed when they helped defend the heights against the Amer ican armies of more than half a cen tury ago. And beneath the frames are their names—names of scions of the dolest, purest Castilian houses of Mex ico—is this significant inscription: DEAD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR DURING THE NORTH AMER ICAN INVASION. IE DRIiSTOISON, THEN TURNS Oftl GAS [Continued from First Page.] the hospital say he can not live many more hours. The man came to the Perrine house last evening and asked for a room. He seemed to be under the in fluence of liquor at the time. This morning a maid detected an odor of gas and on Investigation Glbney was found unconscious in his bed. He had not removed his clothes. The gas cock was wide open. When rushed to the hospital, doc tors there stated that the man had also drank carbolic acid. That he was not dead when found is considered marvelous by the physicians. The man was identified by the name "George R. Glbney" sewed In his undershirt. There is no clue to his place of resi dence. Herman Astrich Buried at Mt Moriah Cemetery In the presence ot hundreds of peo ple, Including many out-of-town friends and relatives, funeral services for Her man Astrich, one of Harrisburg's most prominent business men and proprietor of the Astrich Department Store, Fourth and Market streets, who died Sunday morning at his home.
