This Wounded Traitor Shot Down Fifteen Minutes After Photo Was Snapped - ¥■'>■• v., k .— ... , -Si*,«'* -—■ luttttK'Ol'ioaV 1:< <"3, With this photograph, Just received from Ostend, there comes a dramatic story. The picture is of a wounded jerman being taken from a taxicab In which he has been brought from the outskirts. He is about to be carried aboard a hospitalship for treatment. The man was a former employe of the railway station in Ostend. He was a German but always seemed bitterly set against the Katherland and on all occasions loudly proclaimed his love of his adopted country. On August 25, the day the above photo was taken, three groups of German Uhlans riding in armored automobiles made a daring attempt to enter ostend. The chauffeurs of two of the cars were killed by well directed shots and the cars they were driving overturned. The third driver attempted to turn his car around and flee, but It crashed into a tree. The men who occupied the car took to their heels but most of them were brought down by the Belgian fire. Among them was the man shown in the photograph. He received a wound in the right shoulder. When hit he was seen to try to tear from his arm a red cross emblem he was wearing. When brought into Ostend he could give no satisfactory explanation of his wearing the Red Cross emblem while he sarriAl a revolver at his side, two chambers of which had been discharged. Fifteen minutes after the above pic ture was taken the wounded man met his doom. FBII cone is Ml BEING HELD ,'rominent Bull Moosers Summoned to Philadelphia to Give Their Views on Subject Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Sept. B. Prominent Washington party men from eastern counties of the State are coming to Philadelphia to-day for a series of conferences with State Chairman Det rich and others to give their views on fusion and in reality to be smoothed down. The Hull Moose leaders have I'ound that desire for fusion is chiefly in the western end of the State and thai In the eastern part there is much objection to becoming a mere parade ot the McCorniick Democratic parade. Men from a dozen counties are ex pected to-night and more to-morrow. Rumors here are that some of the Democratic and Washington party leaders will meet to-morrow, as Pal mer and McCovmick plan to be in Philadelphia and Dean Lewis Is now here. Much opposition is being manifest ed to fusion DOLLAR MYSTERY TUESDAY EVENING. ($4,000) for decorating: and illuminat ing: the streets of our city. At the same meeting George B. Tripp, of tl'.e Harrisburg Light and Power Company informed the union's committee that the Harrisburg Llgrht Company would furnish all the current for the street decorations, as the l'ght company's contribution to the Harrisburg firemen, which our committee thought a very generous offer. "After the Chamber of Commerce committee agreed to the above they showed they were not men enough to trust the firemen who risk their lives, ruin theier health, and devote theier time to pro tect their property, by refusing to turn their contribution over to our finance committee, as thousands of fair-mind ed merchants and citizens were doing. They also agreed that if the decor ations and illumination did not cost four thousand dollars, as called for In our budget, that they would use the balance over the cost of decorations, and what they could raise, to meet another item of our budget. Plnn* Were Requested "They also agreed that the decor ation committee of the Firemen's T'nion should prepare their plans as to the streets tliev wished to have decor ated and illuminated, and receive bids and proposals for same: after which wr would meet jointly, and after re ceiving any suggestions which might, help to Improve the plans, we could let a contract and they would pay for it. After our committee spent much time in going over the street*, get ting measurements and going over various plans of decoration, we noti lled the Chamber's committee that we were ready to meet them. They once again showed their lack of harmony wlfb the tiremen by sending us a letter stating they could not get together at that time, but that we should send the plans In. After again writing to them, and again receiving the same answer, we were ordered at a special meeting of the union not to turn our* plans and prices over unless they would meet with us. The union also appointed a special committee to try and agree on a meeting, which was finally granted. I "We met jointly on Friday evening, ! ' August 18. at the Chamber of Com jnierce headquarters, and in addition to • the decoration committee. Colonel H. jC. Demming, president of the Fire f men's Union was In attendance. We 1 presented three proposals and bids for I ; decorating Market street from Front j | street to the Pennsylvania Railroad en- I trance: second, Third • and Fourth streets from Walnut to Chestnut, and also four other sections of tlie city. The Chamber's Pommlttee offered one • proposal which was for decoration I only, front The Q. If. Koster Company, j of New York. Mr. Henderson Gilbert j stated that the Koster company did not do any electrical work, and our I committee was -not given a price on J the Koster bid at that time. The pro : posal was very indefinite as to Just the 'amount of material that would be used. The l.nwent Bidder I "After going over the three bids and | proposals which our committee pre sented, the prices running .from $2,500 to $4,000, the firemen's commit j tee decided that the bid of G. A. Tra han Company, of Cohos. N. Y., at $2,500 was the cheapest, considering the amount of decoration offered, and agreed to leave their bids and plans with the Chamber's committee In or der that they could go over the plans carefully and recommend any improve ment in same. We agreed to ineet again the following Tuesday evening, Sep tember 1. We also agreed to have one of the electrical firms, who had ; already placed a bid with our com mittee, to give an additional bid on illuminating the streets on which the Koster company had bid for decor ations, "Upon our next meeting on Tuesday evening, after our bids had been left in the hands of the Chamber of Com merce for four days and gone over, we were greatly surprised to have Mr. Gil bert Introduce a New York man, who he said was the Koster firm's elec trician; this after Mr. Gilbert bad ad vised us at a previous meeting that Koster & Company did not do electri cal work, and presented a bid of $1,900 for decoration and illumination; the decoration to cost $1,363, and the illumination of four candle power lamps on strings across the streets.- $535. Mr. Hoy of the Harrisburg Light Company, who was present, said the charges for collecting to that com pany's lines would be SIOO additional, which Mr. Koster agreed to meet also for the above figure. (oiiiniittec'N Pimm Best "The plan which . our commit tee desired and decided on was much the better and grander plan, for anywhere near the price of the other 'bids. The illumin ation was to Include twenty large twenty-tlve-fo'ot columns with Corin thian caps and Tungsten lamps en twined, and also eight candle power lamps Instead of four, in all electrical decorations. At seven street intersec tions there were to be fifty lamp show ers in center of street ' with eight streamers of lights radiating out from it to four sides of tile street. In ad dition there was a separate proposal totaling $450 for decorating and illu minating the convention hall, interior and exterior, also Illuminating and decorating Market street at the Read ing station, and decorating a review ing stand which Mr. Tlahan offered to include In his original proposal, or In other words a $3,000 decoration ani? illumination for $2500. "After going over the two proposals we informed the Chamber of Com merce committee that we could not be included in the agreement, as we rep resented the Harrisburg firemen and we could not return to them with an Inferior decoration upon this occasion, when they would entertain the State Fire Association at the largest gather ing of firemen ever held in Pennsyl vania. for the small difference in price of less than S7OO. "This, fellow citizens, is what the . oin'ujtlee of the Chamber of Commerce tried i>» torce the firemen to tak«, and awarded the contract against our wishes. We do not want the public to think that this is the will of liie mem bers of the Chamber of as we are sure the majority of their mem bers realize an injustice has been done by the officers of an organization Irv ing to prev* "it the ilremen from run ning their own convention an ■jrgani zat' in which ,s supposed to prom i'e the advancement of our city. "We believe, fellow citizens and brother fLemen, you can form your own opinion, and may the citizens' of Har isburv ai.,l surrounding toivn-i. who appreciate the valiant work of the Harrisburg Volunteer Firemen who are ever ready to respond at anv hour or under any conditions to the call of fire—will at this time respond to our call for finances and give us liberally as possible, so that the Harrisburg firemen can entertain the .Stale Fire men's Association in a befitting way. and show the visitors a city decorated in a manner we will not be ashamed of. We can do this If we have the sup port of the citizens to the extent of $2,000. "Fend all contributions to Mr. Lewis H. Llckel. bonded treasurer, 1948 Ken sington street, or 420 Market street, city.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH BELL CRITICISES STATE DEPT.'S AID Attorney General of Pennsylvania Says That Americans Were Not Helped Much IGNORED HIS TELEGRAMS Landed Yesterday Without Very High Opinion of Bryan's People in Europe Attorney General John C. Bell, who came home from Europe by a Dutch liner and slept on a couch in the state room of a friend, sharpiy criticized the State Department's work for Ameri cans in the war zone when lie readied Philadelphia last night. Mr. Hell hold how a party of tourists in Munich, of which he was a member, sent a cable to the State Department explaining their situation and asking aid. No answer was sent to the cable gram. Mr. Bell said. Another instance of neglect on the part of the State De partment. he declared, was the failure of the department to specify who was to receive the money sent to France on the cruiser North Carolina. He said several persons returned with him on the Rotterdam who had been forced to undergo great Inconvenience because their friends had cabled them that they had sent money, which, when It ar rived, they could not get, since the State Department had not specified to whom it was to go. Mr. Bell was in Munich when the war started, and said in Philadelphia last flight: "After war was declared there were many Americans who were In serious straits in Munich. During the mobili zation no trains were run for others than the soldiers, although many spe cial trains were made up for Americans after the mobilization period was pass ed. "When we left Munich we traveled on a freight boat down the Rhine four days. We were often stopped and ask ed to show our passports, while the English on board were taken oft by the German soldiers. The trip to Rotter dam was slow and tiresome. "Some Americans had unpleasant experiences, but my personal view Is that the Americans were treated well by Germans, who tried to make every thing as pleasant as possible for those who were eauglit in the mobilization. "On the Rotterdam were ;i,SUO pas sengers. The company officials and ship's officers did all they could for the passengers, and I cannot speak too hiPhl.v of them, in the dining saloon they served 5.000 meals daily, begin ning at 5 In the morning and continu ing until late at night. "I believe a few of the passengers who were traveling second class ate In the dinlngroom, hut those in the steer age, among whom were many cultured and rich persons, did not. Some of the passengers in th§ steerage who were glad to get Sjich 'accommodations suf fered many hardships. Some of them did not even bring a towel. . , "There were many pathetio incidents leaving the continent, the saddest of which was the death of a woman, who was the wife of a New York minister, just as she and her three children were about to board the vessel. She appar ently died of heart trouble and per haps the shock of being safe at last was more than her overwrought nerves cpuld stand. "While we were in Rotterdam wait ing to sail many special trains came in all loaded with Americans. One train came from f'arlsbad which had been chartered by a number of Americans, who paid ln.oon francs for that ser vice."

ROOSEVELT URGES | : FEDEOAL CONTROL | OVER MISSISSIPPI Tells Audience He Would Develop I River With "Blackmail" Of fered Colombia Special to The Telegraph New Orleans, Sept. 8. Colonel ,Theodore Roosevelt delivered a pub-, I lie address in the Opera House here ' last night. In which he urged that ("this government, Instead of paying I $25,000,000 blackmail to alien wrong i doers and their heirs," as proposed in j the dispute with Colombia over the .Panama Canal propperty, should "use jthat $25,000,000 and the plant of the! | Panama Canal, and as many scores of i | millions extra as are necessary, to take j control of the Mississippi and to de-1 velop all .its possibilities of usefulness i from the headwater to the delta." Colonel Roosevelt made a particular point of the flood problem, which he] said must he met not only by levees, | but by great storage reservoirs up stream, which would not only stop the floods, but serve well for irrigation purposes. He reminded his hearers that he had been an advocate of Fed eral control of the river for a long time. "I Insisted upon it when I was Pres ident," he said, "but neither of the old parties adopted it. It is only the Pro pressive party that has seen the need of such a far-reaching, constructive policy." Regarding State ownership of pub lic utilities, the Colonel said: "One of the reasons why I do not believe in State ownership where It is possible to substitute for it supervision and regulation by the State Is be cause In actual experience it has prov ed sr very difficult to combine effi ciency in service rendered and self support in business undertaken by the! State." Decries Sugar TartlT ' He told his audience that the people of Louisiana were among those hard est hit by "the backward and reaction ary policy" which the government had adopted as regards the tariff. He as serted that the promise to break up the trusts and reduce the cost of liv ing had not been realized. He took up in detail the matter of sugar, with which Louisiana is closely identified. The removal of duty on this eommo-. dlty, he said, had been a big con tributing cause to tlie present high prices for sugar, not only seriously affecting the sugar Industry, but caus ing damage upon the whole public. "Germany's great economic devel opment during the forty-three years precedi this lamentable war," he said, had been due largely to the in telligent use of a tariff commission. He said what was needed in this coun try was "a government commission with power to tell honest business men from the beginning what It is right for them to do and what it is wrong for them to do, and power to super vise from the beginning the steps taken In bringing about a combina tion so as to be sure that It Is useful and not harmful to the public at large. "This is exactly what the Progres sive party in Its platform advocated. "Under such a commission, when the price of foodstuffs leaped in the cities of the northwest, the govern ment would have been able, to co-op erate with the business men. big and small, who wanted to meet the crisis in intelligent fashion and to protect both themselves and the public; whereas at the present day the gov ernment can do almost nothing. "Our people must realize that the world has grown beyond the flintlock musket stage in government and busi ness no less than in war. To try to pre vent all combination is simply foolish. Honest business men, and especially honest small business men, have ex actly the same right to combine that honest wage-workers and honest farmers have to combine. In ail cases, as regards wage-workers, farmers and business men altke, the combination should be supervised and controlled by the government so as to make it subservient and not hostile to the pub lic good; and in the case of big busi ness the necessity for such supervis ion and control is far greater than In the case of small business."
