New York. Oct. 11. The Chicayo,

■The last legal detail preliminary to

minority bondholders, tried to Inter

denied.
Default in payment of interest on
4 per cent, gold bonds resulted in fore

holders. The amount of such bonds
and the Interest due thereon Is $74.-
095,000.
The auction sain of the railroad will

I conducted under the hammer. In at least
one respect; every bidder must show his

one can bid he must deposit, as a

sesses the railroad bonds in plenty, he
may put up $5,000,000 of these bonds
instead.

"Watchful Waiting"
Policy Has Led to
"Local Difficulty"
By Associated Press
-Washington. Oct. 12.—Firing across
the International border at Naco, Ari
zona. yesterday by American patrol
troopers and Mexican soldiers was
characterised by President Wilson to
day as "local difficulties." Apparent
ly he considered that the Incident had
no bearing upon the general situation
in Mexico r.nd was not inclined to at
tach much importance to It.
ANTI-WILSON SENTIMENT
Special to The Telegraph
Detroit, Mich.. Oct. 12.—That there
is a definite anti-Wilson sentiment
crystallizing among certain elements
of the Democratic party of the West
cannot be doubted. It may be said
that it is even strong in some parts
of Michigan, and the reason seems to
be apparent. The Wilson Administra
tion has come to be regarded as more
or less Inimical to business on a large
scale, and business on a large scale
In this lumbering and manufacturing
State is not unpopular.

rain broke the protracted dVought ln

"MYSTIC BIRD" WILL MAKE
FOLKS WON
n 9 H
p i
w
m
I -
What is promised to be the sensational feature of this week's bill at
the Orpheutn, will be the local appearance of "The Mystic Bird," one of
the little yellow fellows that we see every day, but this particular one is the
most unusual bird that ever appeared in vaudeville. Ho is astonishing
and delighting audiences all along the Keith circuit.
In short, the accomplishments of "The Mystic Bird" are these. He
can imitate the songs and calls of other birds, and does them In harmony
with any selection that his owner might play upon the violin. And then
to the music of the theater orchestra he will sing and warble obligates
to selections they might play, such as "Mendelssohn's Spring Song" or
"The Glow Worm." Incredible as itsounds. "The Mystic Bird" Is capable
of doing these things and he sings and whistles them in a very Interest
ing and entertaining manner.
Of interest also on this week's bill will be the engagement of vaude
ville's best comedy thrillers, the Bison City Four. These four artists were
slated to appear at the Orpheum on two other occasions this season, but
failed to put in their appearance because they were stranded abroad. But
they are now in America and will actually be here this week, funnier than
ever because they're so glad to get back, and will have new songs and new
fun. These two attractions will be grouped about Frederick Bowers, the
excellent singer of popular songs, who will have more songs this week,
some pretty girls and good dancers. —'Advertisement.
PTOMAINE POISON SAMUEL H. ORWIG.
CAN BE AVOIDED AGEO LAWYER.DIES
Dr. Dixon Discusses a Common
Form of Ailment in His Week
end Talk on Health
ft.
State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G. Dixon calls attention to the
dangers of ptomaine poisoning at this
season of the year in his week-end
talk and urges inspection of food as a
means of preventing it. The com
missioner gives some timely hints in
his talk, in which he says:
"Ptomain poison causes a serious I
disturbance of the digestive organs,
due to the products of germ life. Gen
erally speaking, ptomains are the re
sult of decomposition of foodstuffs.
This is caused by bacteria. In the
process of their growth a poison is
i produced which effects a violent dis
turbance if introduced into the digest
ive system.
"Sausage, decomposed fish, cheese,
ice cream, milk, canned meats and
vegetables are the foodstuffs most
| commonly responsible for ptomain
poisoning. Cooking will not always
destroy the ptomains in foodstuffs. It
kills the bacteria, but the poisonous
substances will remain.
"Unfortunately, our sense of taste in
! the majority of instances does not
i warn us of the presence of these poi
sons. This is often due to the com
mon practice of over-seasoning our
I foodstuffs and the excessive use of
condiments. Also it is the practice of
many canners to add preservatives
which make it possible for them to
use decomposed meats or vegetables.
If food* for canning are properly In
spected before their preparation and
the decayed portion eliminated, they
can be made to keep without the addi
tion of injurious preservatives.
"Ptomain poisoning as a rule de
velops a few hours after eating and
progresses rapidly.
"In the treatment of ptomain poi
soning the first essential Is to wash
out the stomach and empty the Intes
tinal canal of as much of the decom
posed food as possible. These things
may be done while awaiting the ar
rival of the physician."
Germans Say They Have
Repulsed All Attacks in
Eastern Theater of War
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 12.—1t is officially an
nounced in Berlin that in the eastern
theater of war all attacks of the first
and tenth Russian armies have been

fered by the Russians when they at

In South Poland the Germans claim ,
their armies have reached the Vistula.
The assertion is also made that the
Russians have invented the stories
which have been given out regarding
great victories at Augustowo and Su
walki.
Petrograd remained silent as to the
movements of the Russian armies but
hints that secrecy la necessary for the
time being because impotant oper
ations are pending. Late reports Indi
cate that terrific fighting partaking of
the nature of siego operations, has
taken place during the last fortnight,
around Roye, Lassiny and Albert, the
last named place having been com
pletely destroyed.
From Austria come reports by way
of Italy of the rapid spread of Asiatic
cholera and of the sufferings, being
endured by the Austrian troops, on ac

Threatening "Black Hand" Letters
Received by Steelton
Barber
With threats of hodily harm to his
little children and of dynamiting his
home and store, an attempt has been
made to drive Aquallna Rom..no. a
barber and storekeeper, of 329 South
Front street, from Steelton, in a num
ber of letters signed by the "Black
Hand."
The first letter was received by
Romano about a month ago and was
very Indefinite. All the barber could
make out of the missive was that he
was to get out of town and that if he
didn't go "something would happen."
Romano paid no attention to this
letter. A few days later he received
another, in which he was informed
that If he failed to heed the "warning
of the brotherhood" his little daugh
ter's ears would be cut off and sent
to him by parcel post. This letter was
also Ignored.
On October 1 Romano received the
third letter. This missive bore a rough
pencil drawing of a bomb and threat
ened to blow his place up like a bal
loon If he didn't leave Steelton within
eight days. This letter Romano turned
over to the police and two patrolmen
were detailed to watch his barber
shop and store continually. The eight
days passed and Bomano received the
fourth letter Saturday.
In this letter he was given a final
warninr. to leave and that "the broth
erhood was going to get busy now."
None of the letters contained any de
mands for money, but all Insisted that
he must leave town Immediately. The
last letter ended with the threat: "You
better not think the brotherhood Is
bluffing; we are not: we mean busi
ness." All the letters were mailed in
Hurrisl.urg except one, which came
1 from Steelton.
l'oniano Is of the opinion that some
one who is unfriendly to him wants
to frighten him. The strain, however.
Is tclitng on his wife, who is in con
stat!*. fear for the safety of their three
pretty little .daughters, and even the
knowledge that two stalwart police
men arc guarding the place through
out e'ery hour of the night doesn't
I allay hei fears.

employed and the results are summed Y
up In the following words: JL
"The department found anions the jC 1 V*
802 plants that the minimum employes At. / "fOIT I.J
between June, 1313, and June, 19 i 4, +
which in most of the plants occurred
toward the latter date, was 323,415,
while the maximum occurring in the I
same plants between those dates'
amounted to 449,138. This means that
about 1 25,000, or over a quarter of all
employed either lost or left their po
sitions in these 802 plants during the
year. It will be understood that the
number of plants thus investigated is
only a small proportion of the total in
the Commonwealth. The relative pro
portion of those losing their positions
in the tens of thousands of smaller
undertakings not investigated is un
doubtedly larger. EveYi if the average
number of days is small during which
each one Is idle of the enormous num
ber of persons involuntarily out of
work, the economic loss is very great."
"During the coming winter every in
dication is that there will be much
unemployment and suffering. The es
tablishment of unemployment bureaus
by our cities would prove a profitable
investment to the communities affect
ed and would do much to reduce the
hardship. The department will gladly
aid in the establishment of such bu
reaus."

PENBROOK TURNS OUT
10 HEAD REPUBLICANS
Congressman Kreider and John C.
Nissley Speak at Saturday
Night Meeting
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider, can
didate for re-election, and John C.
Nissley, candidate for the Legislature
in the county district, addressed a
large number of the voters of Pen
brook aturday evening at an open air
meeting at which Dr. A. L. Shope pre
sided.
Mr. Nissley, who has been getting
about the county a great deal during
the past month, told his hearers that
he was convinced that sentiment Is
overwhelmingly Republican this Fall.
He found, he said, that a large num
ber of voters who felt they had been
responsible in one way or another
for the elevation of the Democrats
to power In national affairs, now see
the mistake they made anil are return
ing to the /old part;' by the hundred.
By an odd coineldfnce this opening
speech of Mr. Nissley In the present
campaign was made from the same
platform from which ho made his first
political speech years ago in Penbrook
and he recalled to his audience many
of the old citizens who had been pres
ent at that time.
Congressman Kreider's addcess was
a ringing denunciation of the policies
that during the Wilson Administration
have brought the country well nigh to
ruin and have made it necessary for
the Democrats to tax the common
people of the nation $105,000,000 In
time of peace to make up for the
deficiencies resulting from the opera
tions of the Underwood tariff.
