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. A cottage
prayer meeting, under the auspices of
l lie Pennsylvania Railroad Young Men's
Christian Association, will be held to
morrow evening', at S o'clock, at thw
home of S. C. Taylor, 527 Dauphin
street.

■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. 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.
j Bond in Good Shape.—Colonel S. G.
Foster, chief engineer of the State
Highway Department, who made ii
tour of inspection of roads between
this city and Pittsburgh, reported
that the State highways were in good
shape considering weather conditions.
May Put Off 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, has
been named as an Inspector for the
Public Service Commission, to-day re
ported for duty, lie will make inspec

MM. 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

SCENES WHERE Wi

[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.

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.
