ence with local officials, made an in-
Epectlon of the Susquehanna, Blooms

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.—

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.
Road In Good Shape.—Colonel S. G.
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.
Armory Board. —The State Armory
Board will meet to-morrow and plans
for new armories will likely be taken
up.
Senators Here. 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. Hamilton, of Dußois,
most of the cattle were found to be
badly diseased and were condemned
and disposed of under State super
vision.

MU. 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

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.

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.
