SECOND SECTION ' SATURDAY EVENING, PAGES 9TO i 6 HARRISBURG 111111111111 TELEGRAPH JUNE 20,1914. Salvation Army Captain Has an Arm Tbat Felled Jim Jeffries J| CAPTAIN "PAT" NEILSON Salvation Army Leader Whose Life Has Been One Continuous Fight How would you like to have a rope around your neck, a howling mob of undesirable citizens about to string you up to a telegraph pole? Or how would you like to made a target for three shots from a revolver in the hands of a degraded woman who leaned out a second story window and took pot shots at you? Those are two of the mild incidents in the. career of Captain Meyer Neil sen. or as he is better known to young and old of every class. Captain "Pat" Xeilsen. Captain Neilsen's life has been a continuous battle, but lie is pretty well able to take care of him self, and is now enlisted under a standard which bids him tight the bat tles of others. And this he is continu ing to do. One Refuge For the Fallen The incident of the near-hanging occurred at Knoxville, Tenn., where • 'aptain Neilsen was assisting in a clean-up of the vice districts of the to\vn. The mob that was about, to hang him was a gang of panderers, inflamed that their source of revenue was about to fail. This brings to mind the little clean-up that was carried on in Harrisburg not so long ago, and also the fact that Captain Neilsen's little home at 1600 Carnation streets, Salvation Army headquarters, is the only place in town where the inmates of the closed houses might go if they wished to start a new life. Several sunny OUTK AUGUST 28 Poor of City Will Be Guest of Organization at Reservoir Park The annual Salvation Army outing in Reservoir Park this year will be bigger and better than ever before, as our friends the circus press agents used to say. This year Captain Nell sen intends to give a day's outing to I a thousand or more women and chil- I ilren on August 28. This will be more than three times as big as last year's outing. The day's features will include ice cream cones, luncheon, and an all day service of fruit and lemonade. Various races and contests will afford fun throughout the day, among them three bag races for boys from 7 to 11, divided into classes according to their ages. Several pledges of contribu tions have already been received, and, of course, others are in order just now and can be taken care of upon notifi cation of the Salvation Army. The business of getting together the picnic is a mammoth undertaking, for l there's a great deal more to it than simply providing the grub; in fact, it comes down very often to a question of providing raiment for a great many who couldn't go unless they got clean clothes and dresses.

The Revolution from a Personal Standpoint! Beautiful Stereopticon SI Ides will be used to illustrate the evening lecture. Light and airy auditorium with comfortable seats for 1,500 people. have availed themselves of this. And Captain Neilsen, who has been through slums of many cities, and aided in vice crusades, co-operating with the civil authorities in many others, says that the vice cru sade here in Harrisburg was con ducted along the wrong lines. He de clares there was absolutely no pro visllon made to reclaim the inmates of these houses, and to drive them from Harrisburg was simply to put the bur den on some other town. The Captain rose to the emergency and has a row or cots at the' Salvation Army home and an upper room devoted to this purpose. An dthe ' women who wish to return to a life of honor are sent to the Philadelphia headquarters after remaining here a week. Born in Denmark Captain Neilsen was born in Den mark, January r>, 1883, and shipped as a deck boy when 10 years old. In those days on the sea it was just a case of fighting one's way through aboard every ship, and hence Neilsen got the valuable training that later enabled him to act as sparring part ner to Battling Nelson, Jim Jeffrie3 and other pugilistic, stars, although he never appeared in public as a pugilist. But he still remembers how to wallop. For instance, getting into a room full cf thugs in a slum quarter of Har risburg not so long ago—but that's another story. To return to biography. Captain Nielsen was a first class A. 8., saved a pile of money and then started out to spend it. There was about SIO,OOO of it and when he got through the Salvation Army took the remnants— no, not of the cash, but of Neilsen. And he then decided —that was in Knoxville —to try to do for other men what had been done for him. And he is doing it. Captain Neilsen's big, square-rigged | person, and his earnest, sincere per sonality are 100 well-known in Har risburg to need further illumination. Mcst people know and respect him Hundreds love him, and those who do neither are afraid of his strong left, | which he can still use. "But one should be gentle,' he ex plans, "as Christ told us to be." How ! ever, on occasion, as we started to say I above, the Captain can certainly use [ tiis fists. The arm that has knocked down Jeffries is not to be trifled with. The Captain still finds it useful in con nection with Salvation Army work. Ream after ream of paper might be filled with details of Captain Neilsen's career, ae Kipling wrote of "['"ighting Fob" Evans, so it might be said ot the Captain, that he has lived hun dreds of stories. He has seen men of all nations, has fought them and earned their respect or fear; has been in the throne-rooms of kings and the dens of the beggars: and is going to stick out the fight here in Harrisburg, where, he says, there is plenty of work to do. pers and benediction, 7:30 p. m.; Mon signor M.
