INSPECTION TRIP STMTS OLD RUMS Opinion Prevails That Pennsy lvania Railroad Will Take Over Important Branch f j The Telegraph Sunbniry, Pa., April 22. —Rumors of future improvements on the Pennsyl vania Railroad lines in this section were renewed yesterday because of an unexpected visit by General Manager B. C. Lang. Mr. Long, after a confer ence with local officials, made an in spection of the Susquehanna, Blooms burg and Berwick Railroad. For quite a while much talk has been heard here with relation to a con templated taking over ol" the Susque hanna, Bloomsburg and Berwick line. It is rumored further that another bridge is to be erected over the Sus quehanna at Berwick. ( On yesterday's inspection Manager Long was accompanied by L. W. Alti bone, superintendent of the Sunbury division. The Susquehanna,, Rloomsburg and Berwick line is miles long, running from Watsontown to Berwick. The erection of a bridge at Berwick would enable the company to make shorter hauls from the coal regions to Llie main lines. Cottage Prayer Service.

"NO OB," SAYS GENERAL STEWART Adjutant General Comments on the Broadside of Rumors About Guard and War A issued any orders A for organizations of the National /3pt%n3 iv Guard to be pre lfc lOafiEsrSt pared for war scr- Vice; we have not MJwRwWIf! rafr fixed any camp for i £a||UUUUUb we have done nothing at all ■gte* •■■\rrri 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 wants,' said Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart, as a composite re- Ply to a thousand and one 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 filled. Ordinance ltejected.—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.

BUTLER'S LIFE RECORD OE BRHV "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. lie is known in the corps as "Gimlet Eye" and the "Fight* ing Quaker." His engagement yes terday marked his fifteenth expedition and the forty-fifth timo he has been under fire. Colonel Roosevelt once character ized Butle as the "ideal American sol dier." He equipped himself und his 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 liutler 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 bo a similar campaign in Mexico. Begins to Fight as a Boy At the outbreak of the Spanish War, when less than 17 years of age, young Butler enlisted in the marines. Me left tho 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 New 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, ho 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 lights 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 the hospital. While at Tientsin he became ill from typhoid fever, but recovered when taken to sea by Admiral Remey on the tlagship Brooklyn. Refused Victorian Cross Butler is said to be the only Ameri can soldier upon whom the English sought to confer tho 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 nt 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 the dreadnought Arkansas, Ad miral Badger's tlagship. Lieutenant-Commander Mustin is a j son of Mrs. William F. Lloyd, of Cer 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 Gaylord, lieutenant-commander on the battleship Virginia. William Norrls, lieutenant-com mander on the battleship Florida. Lieutenant Charles Thomas Hutch ins, torpedoboat destroyer Beale. Lieutenant Hiram Leech Irwin, bat tleship Rhode Island. Lieutenant James Steret Wood, bat tleship Georgia. Juuior Lieutenant Paul Ernest Skicher, the Rhode Island. Ensign Roland Marcy Comfort, curiser Tacorua. Ensign Charles Hamilton Maddox, new dreadnought Utah. Ensign Lawrence Towsend, the Utah. Ensign Franklin Speakman Stein wachs, cruiser Chester. Ensign Scott Bartlett Macfarlane, battleship Vermont.

SCENES WHERE Wi IS NOW ON RECALLED [Continued from First I'age.] nearer the military barracks. Vera Cruz lies only a few feet above the sea level. The approach from the wharf Is a broad open space upon which one can watch the people promenade in tho evenings when the bands play. Tells of Custom House "The custom 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 tho largest in the city, of course, and the cafe and dining rooms face upon the square. Tables are placed In the open besides the hotel. And that affords 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 264 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 used as 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 conspiring to insure and then poison victims for tho policies and were sent to the peni tentiary for life. Could they hear the | thunder of tlw! guns of Uncle Sam's warships? Well, I 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 tho well-to-do, well dressed and occasionally mantilla droped Mexican girl can be seen there as can the poor er, blanket or serape 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 lurge of our Capitol Park. It is on. tho eminence of Chapultepec 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 ouri West Point. One of the things that impressed me most was the hall 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 of scions of the dolest, purest Castllian houses of Mex ico—is this significant inscription: DEAD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR DURING THE NORTH AMER ICAN INVASION. HE DM* THEN TURIS Oil GAS lContinued from First Page.] the hospital say he can not live many more hours. The man came to the Perrlne 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 Gibney was found unconscious in his bed. He had not removed his clothes. Tbe 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. Gibney" sewed in his undershirt. There is no clue to his place of resi dence. Herman Astrich Buried at Mt. Moriah Cemetery In the presence ut 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.
