will be two great centers of interest
about which the major portion of j
Harrisburg's thought will revolve. Eh?)
Why: i
The Central-Tech high football |
game on the island.
The dinner with the turkey and
fixin's.
All that is asked is that the weather

As for other diversions—if you're a|

to one dollar each; chickens sold for
twenty-eight cents a pound dressed.

to-day and they were cheaper than
turkeys, from $2 to $4 each. Meats

The State Department has called
for a report from Consul 11 os tet

vate advtrvh tliat T. W. Carraway,
of Memphis, is Uireatened with
execution there. Carraway, with
J. C. Wilson and P. R. Melnery,
were arrested more than a month
ago, charged with complicity in
dynamiting lodges in Sonora.
When the Americans were ar
retted the State Department took
the matter up with General Villa,
who Instructed the authorities at
Hennowlllo to release them if they
were innocent of the charges,
which was the report made by
the American consul at Nogales,
who investigated the case.
' By Associated Press
Washington, D. C.. Nov. 25.—Gen
eral Blanco left Mexico City at 3 a. m.
yesterday and the forces of Zapata;
immediately took possession of the
city.
The dispatches which were filed a
noon yesterday made no mention ol
any disturbances in the capital up to
that hour.
Blanco, after repeated assurances to
the diplomatic corps that he would not
evacuate the- city, withdrew and im
mediately the Zapata forces began
their entry.
These facts were reported to-day in
official telegrams received by the State
Department.
Although communication with Mex
ico City Is difficult, officials here were
able to get in touch with their repre
sentatives in the capital and no dis
turbances have been officially reported.
Blanco took away with him all rolling
stock that could be used in transport
ing troops. Most of the wires connect
ing the capital with the outside world
have been cut.
General Villa's troops are reported
a few miles north of Mexico City and
officials here think a joint occupation
of the capital with the Zapata forces
is likely, as there is a complete under
standing between the two factions.
The forces of Villa, according to
official telegrams, are closing in on
Tampico.

By Associated Press
Mexico City, Nov. 24 (delayed).—
Serious disorder occurred in the capi

front of the national palace.
Later they marched to stores where
arms and ammunition were kept, bat

places of their contents.
There was much shooting, but thus
far, according to reports, the casualties
i are few.
i The police were powerless, as the
, few who remained to guard the city
i were stripped of their arms by the
I mob.
Later in tho evening the mob, which
had been constantly growing, broke
' up into smaller bodies and the tooting
■ of pawnshops and other establish
. ments in various sections of the city
i was begun.

■ the evening and at a late hour still
continued. All street car traffic was
s stopped except the Red Cross service.

The reports of unrestrained rioting

from the north, or that of General
Zapata, which have been threatening
