FLU TRYING TO
PUT PALMER OFF
fiat Not Making Much Headway
Among the Democratic Machine
Men Gathered Here Today
COUPLING UP FUSION WORK
Legislative Candidates About All
That Is Being Done; Say
Palmer Will Stay On
The presence in the city to-day of
State Chairman Roland S. Morris and
A. Nevin Detrlch, of the Democratic
and Washington party state commit
tees. William Fllnn and other promi
nent Democratic and Hull Moose chief
tains caused revival of rumors that
fusion was to be effected on United
States senator after all, but appar
ently there was little to It. Fllnn saw
scfrne of the Democrats at his hotel,
■but did not make much headway up
to an early hour this afternoon.
At the Democratic state headquar
ters it was stated that the executive
committee was meeting for the pur
pose of completing fusion on congres
sional and legislative nominations, as
Monday is the last day to file papers.
Fllnn was apparently eager to con
vince Democrats that something
should be done, but it was stated at
the Democratic headquarters that
•there was nothing doing.
Junkmen, Attention
Apparently by mistake Democratic.
*tate headquarters to-day sent to the
Telegraph a letter from Robert T.
Keenan, secretary of the finance com
mittee of the Democratic state ma
chine, enclosing a pocket piece to be
given to each contributor of one dollar
or more, more preferred, to the ma
chine's fund.
The souvenir Is a brass medal and
Is for the "fight for decent govern
ment In Pennsylvania," "the earnest
cause" and other things with which
the McCormlck gangsters cloak their
demands for funds. It contains on
the obverse a picture of President
Wilson and a demand to "uphold"
him. On the reverse is a statement
that J1 or more has been given to the
campaign fund and the names of Pal
mer and McCormlck, who are thus
tied up to the Democratic tariff.
There will be an opportunity to buy
a lot of brass junk after November 3.
McCormlck Makes a Break
Folks at the windmill were in a
state of delirium to-day over the back
hander crack Candidate McCbrmick
had aimed at his allies in the Auditor
General's Department. Thus far
McCormlck has refrained from throw
ing the hooks into the Auditor Gen
eral's Department, although two years
ago his newspaper ÜBed to declaim
against the way it was run. Yester
day he spoke at Bradford and appears
to have been as disastrous as "Farmer"
Creasy when he gets under way.
McCormlck In his Bradford speech
made a vicious attack on the system
of Stato tax settlements, In which
Auditor General Powell takes great
pride.
Cunningham Worries Them
Another thing which disturbed the
serenity of the folks at the Demo
cratic state windmill was the speech
o4f Deputy Attorney General J. E. B.
Cunningham at Reading last night.
He referred to McCormick's letter to
the preachers and said that he saw no
objection to ministers preaching on
the fundamentals because Dr. Brum
baugh measured up to every one and
in startling contrast to his lillputian
rival.
Mr. Cunningham suggested that the
ministers might also include the bear
ing of false witness in the sermons,
although McCormlck did not refer to
that In his letter to the preachers.

Teiling Hard Luck Story on
Cornet Wins Boy Good Home
Gratid Juror Heard Lad Play and Asks Judge to Put the
Boy on a Farm
If 14-year-old George Williamson,
lonely and blue, hadn't tried to tell his
tough-luck story via his cornet dur
ing: the recent visit of the September
quarter sessions grand jury to the
almshouse, the question of William
son's future might still be a problem
for the Dauphin county Juvenile
Court.
George's mother has been dead for
some years and, according to the lad's
father, the youth doesn't get on well
with his stepmother. His small should
ers shook as he sobbed to Judge Mc-
Carrell this morning just why he didn't
like his home. "Why when anything
happens 'round the house," he said
•bitterly, "they never think 'o blamin'
It on anyone else—but me!"
Grand Juror John A. Conrad asked
permission to have George placed on a

born in England and came to the
United States a number of years ago,
residing in Pittsburgh until sent
abroad by his company. Lieutenant

Occupation of Ostend
Momentarily Expected
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 16, 10.15 a. m.—As
was the case Just a week ago at Ant
werp, so it was to-day with Ostend.
That is to say its occupation by a
German army is momentarily expec
ed. Ostend being directly across the
channel from England, almost opposite
the mouth of the Thames, Britons cen
tered their gaze there regardless of
whether or not the taking of the city
would mean much from a military
standpoint or hasten or protect the
great war now in Its seventy-third
day.
The natest news available in Lon
don early to-day said the Germans
were within ten miles of tho city, hav
ing occupied Blakenberghe, a small
town on the Belgian coast about ten
miles northeast of Ostend, and con
nected there by steam tramways.
Russians Beat Back
Advance of Germans
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 16, 4 A. M.—A Reutef
telegram from Petrograd says:
"Refugees who fled from Warsaw at
the approach of the Germans are re
turning, tho Russians having beaten
back the German advance, chiefly
through the brilliant work of the bat
tery.
"The fighting Is now In progress
thirty miles from Warsaw. The town
of Grodzlsk. which was captured by
the Germans, has been retaken by the
Russians. The fighting a few days ago
was within seven miles of Warsaw.
"The Germans are making excellent
use of aeroplanes, which signal by
means of long black streamers when
ever they pass over Russian batteries.
The fighting line of the opposing
forces extends 160 miles from north
of Warsaw to a point due south of
Przemysl. Half of Gallcla is occupied
by the Russians."
Germans Report Capture
of 5,000 Prisoners, 500
Cannon, Grain and Wool
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 16.—The German
embassy to-day received the follow
ing official wireless report from Ber
lin:
"Official headquarters reports that
near Antwerp between 4,000 and 5,-
000 prisoners were taken, among the
war booty are 500 cannon, 4,000 tons
of grain and plenty of wool, metal and
cattle. The harbor works are undam
aged.
"The French attacks near Albert
have been repulsed.
"The Russian advance In East Prus
sia has failed. The Russian attack
with eight army corps from Warsaw
and Ivangorod have been repulsed."
Soldiers Build Hotels
in Trenches at Front
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 16, 11 A. M.—There
has been given out in London a dls
criptive account of some recent de
velopments in France sent by an eye
witness attached to the British General
headquarters. The account is dated
October 13 In France and is in part
as follows:
"On the firing line the men sleep
and obtain shelter in dugouts they
have hollowed or cut out of the sides
of the trenches. These refuges are
raised slightly above the bottom of the
trenches so as to remain dry in wet
weather. The floor of the trench also
is sloped'for purposes of drainage.
Some of the trenches are provided
with overhead cover which gives pro
tection from the weather as well as
from shrapnel balls and splinters of
shells. Considerable ingenuity has
been exeroised by men in naming these
shelters. Among the favorite designa
tions are the "Hotel Cecil"; the "Rltz
Hotel", the "Billet Doux Hotel" and
the "Rue Dorinorl."
"In the barracks are also to be
found boards bearing this notice:
'This way to the Prussians.' "
INVESTIGATING OPERATIONS
Washington, Oct. 16.—Inquiry into
the financial operations of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road was begun by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day. The
hearing which was before Commis
sioner Clements Is pursuant to a reso
lution of the Senate. Joseph W. Folk,
chief counsel for the commission is
I conducting the inqulr
friend's farm. Conrad said he was
attracted by the boy while the young
ster was confined at the detention
house during the grand Jury's quarter
ly Inspection tour, jludge McCarrell
sent the lad to the farm.
"I heard him play the cornet," ex
plained Mr. Conrad, "and I decided
I'd do all I ■ could to help the little
fellow, especially after he played that
one last piece. - "
Other grand Jurors heard him, too.
Unconscious of his audience George
played through quite a repertoire.
"Sounds like a woman way off some
where —singin'," said one of the listen
ers. And finally George played the
one last piece, "Silver Threads Among
the Gold."
So, another Juvenile Court case was
disposed of.

British Loss Greater
Than That oi Germans;
Bad Aim Saves Cruiser
By Associated Press
London. Oct. 16. 1.42 P. M. —An-
other thrust from the German sub
marine service has robbed the British
navy of the cruiser Hawke and has
raised the tally of British warships
sunk by the Germans to seven. To
this must be added the virtual de
struction of the cruiser Pegasus by a
German warship at Zanzibar.
The Hawke, a cruiser of 7,350 tons,
under command of Captain Hugh
Williams, was sunk yesterday in the
North Sea, the graveyard of six other
warships which were the victims of
German torpedoes.
It was only bad aim on the part
of the German gunner which saved
the Hawke's sister ship, the Theseus,
and the doubling of yesterday's disas
ter, for that vessel, too, was attacked,
but she escaped.
The exact complement aboard the
Hawke has not been announced, but
in ordinary times the men numbered
550. As she was built several years
ago, it is probable that her crew was
not up to the full complement. Ac
cording to one report, she had only
400 aboard. Whatever the number,
only 5 men were saved, and there was
not a single commissioned officer
among them.
Losses lu Warships
The cruisers Amphion, Pathfinder,
Aboukir, Cressy, Hogue, Pegasus and
Hawke and the torpedo gunboat
Speedy make up the British for
midable list of losses in warships in
the first ten weeks of the war. Against
this the British admiralty claims four
German cruisers, two torpedo boat de
stroyers, one torpedo boa,t, three sub
marines and eight armed commerce
destroyers.
Omitting the armed merchantmen,
the aggregate warship tonnage loss
to England is. of course, much greater
than that to Germany.
In both cases the lost ships, with
the exception of the cruiser Amphion
and the submarines, were older f*aft,
used for scouting purposes, the ships
intended for the sterner work of a
fleet action being held In safer waters
for the day when Germany elects to
sally from behind her naval base at
Helgoland.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,'

Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns

two of Sage and Sulphur enhances Its
appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 50-

can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and

American Tunes Played
as Canadian Troops
March Into Their Camp
By Associated Press
Salisbury, lSng., Oct. 16. Via
don, l!:4t> P. M. Beginning before
dawn to-dav from stations within a
radius of ten miles Canadian troops
have been pouring into campa prepared
for them 011 the rolling Salisbury
plains near hert!.
First came a long transport train,
composed of wagons drawn by traction
engines, then the motor trucks and
lastly the commandeered London motor
busses. The cavlary and tin? artillery
followed and most of these units now
are in camp, but only a few Infantry
regiments so far have arrived.
I»ng before dawn the sleepy old vil
lages scattered over the country were
awakened by the clang of hoijfa on the
hard roads which, Incidentally, have
been" a revelation to the Canadians ac
customed to their own muddy high-
W Vhoso who listened heard a strange
medley. The notes of "It's a JLong,
Long Way to Tipperary" mingled with
tho Spanish-American War favorite,
"There'll He a Hot Time In the Old
Town To-night."
Tho latest American rag-time, among
the chief tunes being "This Is the
Life," also resounded in the quiet Eng
lish dales.
The greatest contrast between Eng
lish forces and the Canadians is the
physique, tho Canadians being on an
average much larger and stronger
looking than the English.
Hiding at the head of the supply con
voy was a small Montreal newsboy,
who had stowed away on a transport.
This little chap, in spite of the fact that
he was almost lost in the folds of any
army coat loaned him by a good-heart
ed sergeant of the Highlanders, was
nearly frozen, but he Insisted on prac
ticing the bugle, proficiency in which
he b«>pes will give Ijlm a chance to
get to the front.
