BRUMBAUGH PASSES
THROUGHJIARRiSBURG
Governor-elect Stopped in City 10
Minutes While Enroute to
Huntingdon
PLEASED WITH LOCAL VOTE
New Executive Expresses Pleasure
at Totals Given Him in
City and County
Governor-elect Martin G. Brum
baugh was in this city for ten minutes
to-day enroute to Huntingdon, where
a great "home-coming" reception has
been arranged for him. Dr. Brum- j
baugh was in high spirits and ex
pressed his pleasure at the great vote |
given him in Harrisburg and Dauphin i
county. The Governor-elect will leave |
Huntingdon either to-night or to-mor
row morning with his father and will
go to Florida for a rest.
This week the Governor-elect will
become a member of the famous
Union League at Philadelphia, his ap
plication having been filed about seven
years ago. It requires time to enter
this historic club and many distin
guished men are on the waiting list.
"This is the day of high ideals in
public life," said Dr. Brumbaugh re
cently. "No man can serve the whole
people in an effective way who has not
vision in his soul, courage in his con
duct and independence in his spirit.
Moreover, he must have practicai
touch with every phase of life from
the humblest to the wisest. If this be
lacking he will be visionary and use
less. Also, he will not understand
that In every group of our complex
civilization are splendid people who j
Jove right things and look to the State j
for sane, capable, conscientious en-'
deavor.
"The college man must learn to I
give his superior training in a large
way for the good of all. The gifts
of learning must not be hoarded. The i
value of a trained man lies in his un- |
selfish devotion to common democracy. l
To help all the people to live together,
to legislate together, is certainly worth
while.
"This great Commonwealth, rich in
historic association, in great patriot
ism, in splendid endeavor, welcomes
men of character, conscience and ca
pacity. My message, in a word, is
"Get into.the game; play fair and hard,
and learn how to win with modesty
and to lose like a gentleman.' No
such service is lost."
" This his view, his message as it
were, to the college men of Pennsyl
vania, may be taken as an epitome of
the character, the life purpose of the
Governor-elect, and the rule that will
guide him in his four years as the
Chief Executive of this Common
wealth.
Writing of the Governor-elect
Charles B. Michael, in the Philadel
phia Public Ledger, says:
"As a toastmaster Brumbaugh pre
sides with dignity, and suffuses a spirit
of fun and comradeship over the
board. He indulges in a keen, yet

LION ROVES GALE-TOSSED SHIP
Hunger and Seasickness Drive Beast to
Frenzied Plunge Through Cage
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Nov. 10. Terror
stricken sailors risked their lives and
chanced death in a raging sea last
Thursday on the British steamship
West Point, when a lion escaped from
its cage and went on a rampage in the
hold of the vessel. The West Point,
with seventy-odd wild animals con
signed to Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
was bound from London for Phila
delphia, and docked yesterduy morn
ing.
Last Thursday, before the vessel
reached the Delaware Breakwater, a
large lion plunged through his cage.
His escape was not discovered for a
short time, and he wandered in the
hold of the ship in search of food.
The lion was ravenously hungry,
and his first thought was food. With
a roar he made for a cage containing
a white ass, which was among the col
lection. He was about to tear the
cage apart when B. H. Goodkin, an
employe of the Bostoks, who was in
harge of the animals, saw him. Call
ing for assistance he seized a pitch
fork and made for the animal.
When the word spread among the
sailors that a lion was loose and help
was needed to get him back into his
cage, two or three of them volunteered
to go, but most of them fled to the
upper decks and some to the rigging
of the vessel.
After an hour's work the crew man
aged to get the beast into his cage.

Koenigsberg Bottled Up
at Mafia Island; Preyed
on British Merchantmen
By Associated Press
London, Nov. 10, 12.45 P. M. —The
German cruiser Koenigsberg, yhich
disabled the British cruiser Pegasus
some weeks ago has been bottled up
at Mafia Island, on the coast of Ger
man East Africa, by the blocking of
the channel to the harbor.
The Koenigsberg also has preyed
upon British shipping since the be
ginning of the war, but her successes
have in no way approached those of
the Emden. She sunk the Ellerman
liner City of Wainchester near the en
! trance to the gulf of Aden on August
| 6, and she disabled the British cruiser
i Pegasus in Zanzibar barhor on Sep
tember 20. The Pegasus was caught
I with a disadvantage as she was under
| going repairs. Twenty-five of her
crew were killed and eighty wounded.
The Koenigsberg is a protected
cruiser and was laid down in 1905.
She was of 3,348 tons, 354 feet long
and had a speed of 21V4 knots. Her
main battery consisted of ten 4.1 inch
guns.
Mafia island on the east coast of
Africa belongs to Zanzibar but was
assigned to German influence some
years ago.

Russian Advances Excites
Wonder and Admiration
of British Observers
By Associated Press
London. Nov. 10, 10.10 A. M. —The
fog which during the past few days
has hampered military operations
along the Aisne seems to have blotted
out also so far as the receipt of news
is concerned the entire zone of conti
nental fighting.
The direction in which German rein
forcements are being moved, whether
to the east or to the west, continues to
be a prolific source of discussion which
is not likely to be settled until the full
extent of the Russian operations along
the German border is known.
The phenomenal speed of the Rus
sian advance excites the wonder and
admiration of British observers.
Petrograd reports lively lighting in
the Caucasus, while from both Vienna
and Nish have come dispatches setting
forth the resumption of activities along
the river Danube and the river Drina.
Both sides claim successes here, but
neither indicates any decisive result.
In Western Belgium patrols of the
allies are reported to have penetrated
into the region of Ostend. This report,
if correct, would indicate that the Ger
mans have abandoned all attempts to
proceed along the coast and are to-day
concentrating their attacks on Ypres.
In South Africa General Christian
De Wet has gained a small success over
a detachment of government troops,
while his colleague. General Beyers,
has suffered a reverse.
1 he Berlin official reports claim an
important victory over the Russians in
East Prussia, who have been pushed
back over the border by General voi.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
M'FUD TO TALK
OF IDE IE ACT
Council Invites Former Commis
sioner to Discuss It; Acquir
ing Park Land
J. Horace McFarland, former city
park commissioner and father of the
shade tree commission act of 1907, will
meet with City Council next Tuesday
to explain the various provisions of
the law.
The city commissioners, who have
'been considering for several months
the advisability of appointing a shade
tree commission here, are not entirely
clear as to certain requirements and
phases of the act. At to-day's session
of Council it was decided to invite Mr.
McFarland to appear before the com
missioners for the purpose.
One of the features which appears
objectionable, according to Commis
sioner M. Harvey Taylor, is the pos
sibility that one man may have to
pay for the planting and care of a
tree on the pavement in front of his
house which throws shade on his
neighbor's property and not upon that
of the man who pays.
Council also postponed action on the
adoption of a resolution authorizing
City Solicitor D. S. Seitz to acquire
deeds from owners of unacquired park
land between Kelker and Maclay
streets upon agreement by the city to
bear the cost of the paving assessment
for the western half of Front street
in front of the properties in question.
City Solicitor Seitz will meet with
Council next Tuesday and discuss the
problem. One property owner has ob
jected to the filling out of the River
Front park because he has never given
his ground to the city. In offering an
opinion on the subject at the request
of Park Commissioner Taylor, Mr.
Seitz suggested one of three plans for
taking over the park land—con
demnation which would cost from
SSOO to $1,000; sale of the ground by
sheriff's paving lien, costing about
$100; and the settlement of the pav
ing assessment in exchange for the
title to the park land.
Council decided upon suggestion of
the Chamber of Commerce not to send
a moving picture film of Harrisburg
to San Francisco's 1915 exposition.
Sealer of Weights and Measures Reel
submitted his ■ report, showing that
1i,37 4 inspections were made, 564 were
sealed, and 710 condemned. He made
265 visits to markets, brought four
suits and had four convictions. Coun
cil passed the ordinance authorizing
bridges over Paxton creek at Mulber
ry, Reily, North and Cumberland
streets at a cost of $3,000.

H.\Rl> TIM IS Alsl'" RESULT OK
BUSINESS PLOTS. SAYS BRYAN
Washington. D. C., Nov. 10.—Closed
factories and hard times are not grim
realities brought on by political and
economic developments of the last two
years. These deplorable conditions art
the results of conspiracies by protected
manufacturers to discredit the new
tariff law. You can take the word of
William J. Bryan, Secretary of State,
for this.
American manufacturers, according
to the Secretary's theory, deliberately
[suspended operations, cut off their own
sources of revenue and discharged
their men for the effect It would have
on the elections.
The strange thing about Secretary
| Bryan's charge against American inan
j ufacturers Is that, if what he says is
I true, the Wilson administration has

OFFICIAL COUNT OF
COUNTY COMPLETED
[Continued From First Page]
78 4 In the country and the Roosevelt
Progressives couldn't do better than
225 in county and city.
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider was
returned by a total that nearly dou
bled the vote of his next best oppo
nent, David L. Kaufman, the figures
being 13,8u2 against 0,491, respective
ly. Dr. J. H. Kreider, the Washing
ton candidate, didn't do well at all. He
got but 3,593.
Dauphin's Tribute to Judge Kunkel
All Dauphin knows how well Presi
dent Judge George Kunkel ran on the
Supreme Court Judgeship ticket by
this time, although the official figures
show he gained 21 over the unofficial
count. His total in the county was
21,459, while Frazer got but 1,271.
Next,to Judge Kunkel's wonderful
vote an interesting feature of the of
ficial computation is the equally splen
did tribute Dauphin countians paid to
Governor-elect Brumbaugh. All told
just 14,499 votes were polled for him
in city and county districts, the loader
of the ticket. The "home folks" inci
dentally contributed 35 votes to Dean
William Draper Lewis on the Roose

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
(Wilkes-Barre Record)
The Democratic Philadelphia Rec
ord gave support to the State Demo
cratic ticket this year but its heart
was not in the light. The most promi
nent Democratic journal in Pennsyl
vania has no liking for the Palmer-
McCormick crowd of so-called reform
ers and it has said so on many occa- ,
sions. Before the campaign opened
it pleaded with the reorganizes to,
step down and out and open the way
for genuine reorganization of the
party, but its pleas went unheeded.
Now that the election is over and plain
speaking cannot change the result, the
Record reveals its true feelings and
what it says is not at all complimen-1
tary to the leaders or their campaign
managers. Added to what the Rec
ord said a few days ago we And the
following in Saturday's issue:
As a matter of tact the Demo
crats of Pennsylvania had no plat
form of principles in the late cam
paign. The draft of a platform was
prepared by Hie so-called leaders of
the party in advance of the meeting
of the State committee some months
ago, and submitted to a subcom
mittee to report to the members of
the State committee. Before the
subcommittee could report the
State committee was adjourned,
and no action was ever taken on the
so-called platform. The leaders of
a reorganized and so-called un-»
bossed party were afraid to permit
the members of the State commit
tee to adopt a platform. They were
afraid the committee might favor
a platform offensive to some of the
I Republicans they foolishly thought
I they could induce to vote the
| Democratic ticket.
It was due to this hocus-pocus busi
ness that a locul option plunk was in
cluded in the platform against the
wishes of a good many members of
I the State committee. During the cam
; paign other Democratic newspapers
! had the audacity to say that local op
tion could be achieved only by voting
for the entire Democratic ticket, when
in fact none of the candidates felt that
they were bound to a platform con
ceived in abortion. The situation in
Luzerne was typical of the situation
In many other sections. Here too the
cry was raised that the Democratic
party was the real local option party,
and Republican candidates who had
declared specifically for local option
were hypocritically denounced, when
in fact there was not a single Demo
cratic candidate for the Legislature
who stood squarely on the local option
feature of the platform.
The Philadelphia Record's caustic
comment indicates that there is yet a
serious breach in the party and that
it Is likely to remain until the so-called
reformers get down from their pedes
tal of self-assumed virtue. The em
phatic reverse administered to the
Palmer-McCormick gang, which began
Its career by kicking out of the party
councils everybody who did not agree
with it, is a lesson the meaning of
which cannot be misinterpreted.

Piain Questions to
Harrisburg People
Every Harrisburg Reader Will Admit
tlie Soundness of the I/Ogle
Would Harrisburg people recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do
If the medicine were not reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years have elapsed If their ex
periences did not show the remedy to
be deserving of It? Statements like
the following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. M. E. Keller, 1322 North Sec
ond street, Harrisburg, says: "I can
confirm every word of my former
statement concerning the benefit one
of my family has had from Doan's
Kidney Pills. I took them myself sov- i
eral years ago and they benefited A
so much that I know they are all
are claimed to be. I am glad to rec
ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to oth
ers."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Keller had. Foster-Mllburn Co.,
