Philadelphia Pays Final Tribute to Her Sons Who Lost Their Lives at Vera Cruz
HARRISBURG dS6& TELEGRAPH
LXXXIII — No. 113
WRESTLE WITH ICE 1
CREAM CONES. BREID
AND HI CEIPPERS;
Council Hears Complaint From
Barbers, Bakers and
Manufacturers
FINAL ACTION ON TUESDAY
Various Amendments Are Likely
to Be Made Before Pass
ing Regulations
Tee Cream cones, wrapped bread
and barbers' clippers are the three
chief problems with which city council
must wrestle in adopting the new food
and health regulations.
Tuesday the new rules arc due for
final action ami before the City Com
missioners vole on them for the last
time, the bakers of the city and prob
ably (he barbers will be given a hear
ing through their counsel.
The rules originally prohibited 'he
sale of ice cream cones, sandwiches
and so on In the streets; required the
wrapping in impervious paper of
bread sold in the streets, and the
sterilizing by barbers of clippers and
other implements after each job. But
t'ouncil hasn't decided definitely just
what it will do about either of these
things.
( one Problem Serious
The ice cream cone problem is re
cognized as a serious one in view of
the fact that it might limit the child
ish pleasure of the small person who
has only a cent to spend for ice cream;
the wrapping of bread will cost an ad
ditional quarter of a cent it is conten
ded by the bakers, and this will run
the total cost for wrapping Harris
burg's bread supply to in the neigh
borhood of $50,000; the sterilizing of
• ■very barber's instrument after every
individual job will mean a hardship
loss of time and consequently of pat
ronage. and will mean the ruin of the
instruments. These are a few of the
objections to the features of the health
provisibns.
Certain changes have been suggest nl
to the orginial rules however which
have practically agreed upon. Among
these are:
Uniforms for the sanitary officers,
the style and color to be approved by
the bureau of health and sanitation.
Manufacture of ice cream with
other ice cream after it has melted,
prohibited.
Vse of bruised fruit in ice cream
manufacture prohibited.
Bread sold in stores or from coun-l
ters to be wrapped or properly guard-1
ed from flies, etc.. by paper, not nec
essarily oiled paper.
Carpet "Beating" Allowed
The provisions originally requiring
the erection of fences around vacant
lota to prevent the blowing about of
ashes etc.. is stricken out. Carpets
are permitted to be "beaten" in open
lots also.
The tine imposed for violation his
been modified to some extent. In
stead of penalty of not lens than $5
not more than SIOO, the penalty for a
first offender has been lixed at not i
more than $5.

Ttese, the informer, underwent the or
deal of cross-examination to-day at
the trial of Charles Becker for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal.
Martin T. Manton. chief of Becker's I
councel, began by asking Hose why he
changed his name from ltosenzweig to
Rose. Rose said he had changed his
name twenty-three years ago. Tie de
nied that he had ever been in jail dur
ing that time. Manton hurled at him
a long list of questions to bring out
the life the witness had led. Rose
calmly met each implication, denying
that he had engaged in petty larcenies,
that he had been associated with
women of the streets, that he had
been a "steerer" for an opium den.
Rose's acquaintance with Rosenthal,
he said, dated back twenty-five years.
They had been twice associated in
business. He denied that they had
quarreled when this business connec
tion was dissolved. It is a contention
of the defense that Rosenthal was the
victim of a gamblers' war.

Today; Meeting This
Evening
FITZPATRICK'S S T A T F. M ENT
Tells Trainmen Their Duties;
Pierce Says "Strike Has
Only Started"
Conflicting reports concerning the
status,of the strike of some hundred
members of the Brotherhood of Fed
erated Railway Employes against the
Pennsylvania Railroad at this and
some other points on the system were
afloat to-day following the arrival in
this city of several of the leaders of
other brotherhood organizations.
Members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Brother--
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En
ginemen and the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen had heard a report to
the Effect that their officials will in
struct them to take absolutely no part
in the strike unless instructed. It was
pointed out that a strike order could
be issued only after a majority of the
I members of the orders had voted in its
favor and then only upon the recom
mendation of the grand officers.
The attitude of the big brotherhoods
named will be ascertained at a meet
ing to be held this evening of repre
sentatives of all the transportation or
ganizations. This joint meeting will
be held in White's Hall, Third and
Verbeke streets.
It was freely predicted that they
will assume a "hands off" attitude and
refuse to be drawn into the contro
versy.
Among railroad men throughout the
city the consensus of opinion seems
to be that without the backing of the
transportation brotherhoods the strike
of the shopmen and the maintenance
of way men will soon lizzie out.
"He Laughs Best Who," Etc.
At strike headquarters, 1334 North
Sixth street, a handful of strikers dis
cussed the rumors that were afloat
and looked to their leader. President

Number of Troops at Provisional!
President's Command Said to
Be Greatly Exaggerated
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C„ May 13.—That
General Huerta, preparing for a crisis
in his dictatorship, has long been
planning to leave Mexico City with his
troops and make a last stand at
Ptiebla, midway between Mexico City I
and Vera Cruz, was understood to-day
to have been told President Wilson
last night by Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
former charge of the American em
bassy in the Mexican capital.
The President, it Is said, was in
formed that Huerta had picked Puebla
for his last refuge in case rebel assail- I
| ants get too close to Mexico City, and ;
I that late developments in the revo
lution had caused him already to be- i
gin fortifying and provisioning Puebla. |
Mr. O'Shaughnessy Is said to have
told the President that Huerta had no
intention of resigning, but that the
Mexican dictator realized that his
regime could not stand long. At
Puebla, according to plans said to I
have been determined upon months
ago. he would tight rather than con
sent to elimination.
Huerta Seeks Honor
Realizing that he eventually must
be deposed. Huerta, it is said, desires
to acquire as much glory as possible j
before the inevitable happens.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy is said further to i
have told the President that the num- |
ber of troops which Huerta has at his j
command hi greatly exaggerated and ,
that as a matter of fact they number I
only 4,000 to 6,000 men. Neither!
Napata nor Villa would have any great,
difficulty in taking the city, is under

nessy expressed.

"Oh, lots and lots," answered tho

"Very well," said Mr. Zeii. And
then with a nod to Mr. Wail he
grabbed one end of a tub of water
near by and the proprietor hefted the.
other end. Between them they hur
ried out to the street and extinguished
the blaze.
The near-wits and jokesmiths were I
abundantly in evidence, one slyly re
called that Mr. Swope was a well
known Prohibitionist; another evinced
surprise at the source of the water
supply: another even attempted to kid
Mr. Zeil about it. "Water—by the
tubfui—in a liquor store! Oh, my!"
cried the jokesmith.
"We just keep it for this very pur
pose," easily answered the ex-chief of
I police as he and Mr. Wall toted the
I empty tub into the store.

of various nationalities who, on April 22, left Mexico City under escort of thu
of the British Consul and were stopped half way to Vera Cruz. At midnight
soldiers of General Maas halted the train and wanted to detain all the
Americans, but the British consul objected and insisted upon seeing the gen

At that place the track was torn up for three miles. In the darkness
Mrs. Boeneker and tile little ones, four, five and six years old. walked this dis
tance and found a train under an American guard at the other end of the gap.
Sniping was still going on when they reached Vera Cruz. They were
taken aboard the German cruiser Bremen. "We were well treated by the
Germans and British," said Mrs. Boeneker, "but the Americans didn't do much
for us.

Judge Kunkel:
"Friends of President Judge George
Kunkel, of Dauphin county, witnessed
tho opening of the llnal week of tho
primary campaign with satisfaction.
They are all confident that the Dau
phin judge will be nominated for the
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench
and the plans for the final week of
the contest are being carried out with
out a hitch. The record of Judge
Kunkel is known all over (he stale.
All through the campaign his friends
in every county have been distributing
i literature telling of his work in Ihe
[•'apitol graft trials, the full crew law.
[ the intricate State tax suits and in
| scores of other legal actions, and the
result is that probably no voter will go
to the poles next Tuesday ignorant of
the character of the man who now
presides on the Dauphin bench.
"Every voter whose name is on the
lists in city, borough or county can
vote for Judge Kunkel. A voter must
be enrolled as a party man to vote a
party ballot, but an unenrolled voter
is entitled to the nonpartisan ballot
I for the Supreme and Superior Courts.
I It was 011 just such a ballot as this

Kunkel be nominated at the primaries
on Tuesday of next week he will pur
sue the same course throughout the

I take no active part and will leave the

Why Women Are
Shrewd Buyers
Any man will tell you that his
I wife can get more out of a dol
lar than ho can.
Women have the natural value
reuse tliey know what their
money's worth means.
One reason for this is that
women are great, readers of ad
vertising. No part of a news
paper Is of greater interest to
them than tho advertising col
umns.
They study tlieni daily and
they shop as carefully through
the newspapers as tliey do when
they go to the stores themselves.
Without the advertising, tho
newspapers would lose half of
their women readers. Incidental
ly, local merchants would loso
more than half of their business.
Would you like to know more
about it while you are working
on your plans? Drop a postal

vertising. American Newspaper
