tor. The crossing is at the west end
of Main street.
%The automobile reached the crossing
just about the time the train came
around the surve a short distance

GREAT BATTLE
IN PROGRESS ON
ITALIAN FRONT
Italy's Soldiers on Offensive
to Relieve Pressure on
Serbian Border
AUSTRIAN LINE PIERCED
Russian General Says His
Troops Will Land on Bul
garian Coast Soon
Italian front. Advices from Rome
and Vienna indicate that the offensive
movement of the Italians undertaken
presumably to relieve pressure on the
Serbian front. Is under full headway.
An official communication from Rome
states that this move is In progress on
the Tyrol and Trentino frontiers, along
the whole front to the sea.
The latest reports l'rom Vienna
state that the Italians were repulsed
with heavy lossts, although they suc
ceeded In reacning the Austrian po
sitions in some places. The Italian
staff, however, announces a series of
important successes. It Is stated the
Austrian line was pierced in several
sectors and that many Austrian posi
tions were captured.
German troops are following up
their recent offensive movements on
the French front but apparently no
fighting of great importance has de
veloped. The official report from
Paris to-day mentions three German
attacks and says that in each instance
the attacking parties were dispersed.
In Lorraine French forces occupied a
German trench.
Difficulties Encountered
An announcement made by the Ser
bian minister to Greece indicates that
the invaders of Serbia are meeting
with great difficulties. The minister
asserts that the Austro-German of
fensive south of Danube and Save has
been suspended for the time beingr,
and that In some sections the Serbians
have resumed the offensive. The mln
! ister also asserts that after reaching
Vranya, on the main Serbian railroad,
Bulgarian troops vacated the town.
Greek newspapers publish a note
setting forth the position of the Greek
Government. Greece makes known
her purpose of maintaining a friendly
attitude toward the entente powers,
but considers that It is not in their
province to interpret the Greco-Ser
bian treaty under the terms of which,
it is contended by the allies, Greece
is obliged to assist Serbia. A Russian
general detailed to the Serbian head
quarters Is quoted as having said that,
within a fortnight Russian troops will
land on the Bulgarian coast.
The German Federal Government
has decided to assume control of food
throughout Germany to equalize dis
tribution and prices. Hitherto the
state provincial authorities have per
formed this function. It Is stated In
Berlin that the food supply Is abun
dant.

NOTE OF CHIEF HUTCHISON TO POLICEM.*N WARNING OFFICER TO LET
MAYORS PARTICULAR FRIENDS VIOLATE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE AT
WILL.
Accused of Letting Friends Who Violated Traffic Ordinance
Down Easily; Fined Poor Jitney Drivers; Farmers
at Market Houses Who "Stood in" With Royal Were
Free to Do as They Pleased
Instructions to enforce the ci'y traf
fic regulations were Issued to all the
patrolmen yesterday by Mayor John
K. Royal.
The orders were passed according
to the mayor at the "urgent request
of the Motor Club of Harrisburg."
For months this club has been en
deavoring to have the traffic conditions
bettered and regulated in the city
streets and repeated requests, and even
demands had been made by members
of the club to have the chief executive
insist upon the enforcement of the
laws.
The Fortunate Ones
In some instances, say motorists,
there have been prosecutions but these
offenders as a rule are jitney driv
ers or chauffeurs who have no politi
cal or personal standing with Mayor
Royal or his friends: the fortunate
ones who enjoy these privileges are not
prosecuted but officers have been tip
ped off not to "push them too hard
because they're friends of the mayor."
Council's attention was officially
called to the laxity of the mayor's
attitude in this respect several weeks
ago when the Motor Club sent a com
munication to the body declaring that
the rules wtere not being enforced and
suggesting that the presence of the
ordinance on the statute boo"ks was
useless unless some effort was made
to enforce the law without regard to
personal feeling or favor.
Mayor Much Hurt
Mayor Royal was much hurt at the
Motor Club's letter. He mourned the
action in quite a speech at the Council
session.
Members of the Club, however, are
weary of spending time and money in
an effort to regulate traffic condi
tions and in prosecuting violators
when their efforts amount to nothing
through the lack of co-operation by
the police department. Many an inci
dent has been mentioned of the fail
ure of Mayor Royal to enforce these
Important rules governing the oper
ation of vehicular and motor traffic.
Here arc a few of them:
A Few of the Offenses

EMPEROR WANTS VICTORY IX
FBGHT -WICKEDLY" STARTED
Amsterdam, via London, Oct. 23. —
Emperor William replying to the con
gratulations extended by the King of
Bavaria on the occasion of the 500 th
anniversary of the Hohenzollern gov
ernment telegraphs:
"Although it is painful to mo after
my long reign of peace to be obliged
to take up arms In defense of the
freedom and honor of the fatherland,
T with Your Majesty and all German
princes confidently trust that the good
Lord will continue in support of *
just cause and grant us and our loyal
allies a victorious issue of- the light I
wickedly begun against us." 1
hustled through the Market street
subway without regard for the many
teams passing up and down the ap
proaches.
In brief these are three distinct vio
lations of the traffic laws. A police
man arrested the offender but he w.is
released "because he was a friend of
the mayor." That officer too, by the
way, got a quiet tip to "go a little
easy hereafter with the particular citi
zen as "he wias a friend of the mayor."
On another occasion a similar in
stance occurred in Market street
where an officer stopped an offender
who was haled before the mayor—and
the word of censure was passed to the
policeman because of his "harsh
methods." He, too, was given to un
derstand that this sort of thing
couldn't be tolerated with "the friends
of the mayor." It was even suggested
that the policeman apologize.
True, all offenders weren't treated
thus:
Who the Mayor "Soaked"
One modest jitney driver was haled
before "His Honor" and fined $lO
for violation of the traffic regulations.
He hadn't the money to pay his fine:
he hadn't a friend "at court" as it
were—and he got a ten-day sentence
in jail.
The real story of Mayor Royal's in
sistency however is the story of John
A. Fackler, evidently a "friend" of no
little standing wfith the mayor. Fack
ler repeatedly violated the traffic reg
ulations at the Verbeke street market
house and Patrolman A. L. Heagy,
after warning him, haled the offender
before the city's chief executive.
Fackler was released. And a day
or so later Patrolman Heagy got this
little note from Col. Hutchison, chief
of police:
Officer Hca«y:
The Mayor requests that
sou do not give John A.
Fackler any trouble at Broad
Street Market to-morrow
about his wagon until you
can make u report to me
about it. He is a {treat friend
of the Mayor's.
.1, B. H.. .
Chief.
Affidavit to this effect was sworn to
by Heagy before Alderman George
A. Hoverter on August 27, 1915.

totally destroyed by fire entailing a

Six steers and four hogs were burned

THINK SUFFRAGE

STIRS ZEAL OF WORKERS
Says All Four Amendments
Must Stand or Fall
Together
Strange though it may seem there
Is considerable elation at the offices
of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association in this city over
in Pennsylvania of the result bf the
New Jersey election. This effect
strictly speaking Is not a reaction, but
it is distinctly different from what is
usually produced by a reverse.
Of first importance in the informa
tion coming to suffrage headquarters
is the response to the warning which
was a part of the statement made by
Mrs. Frank M. Roessing, head of the
Pennsylvania suffrage forces, after the
New Jersey returns were in. In this
statement Mrs. Roessing called atten
tion to the fact that the New Jersey
election indicated that all four of the
proposed changes In the Pennsylvania
constitution would stand or fall to
gether. This, apparently, is now
thoroughly understood all over the
State.
TnformaUon is also reaching here
that the fate of the movement In New
Jersey has had the effect of stimulat
ing the zeal of Its friends In this State.
The real nature of the opposition was
uncovered during the concluding days
of the New Jersey campaign and it is
realized that there must be a united
front by the friends of good govern
ment if the cause Is to win in Penn
sylvania.
As far as can be learned here, and
this Is a pretty good place to learn
things about politics throughout the
State, the political organizations are
maintaining a "hands off" attitude and
will so continue throughout the rest
of the campaign and on election day.
Dr. Samuel A. Baer,
Former H. H. S. Principal,
Dies in Maryland
Word was received in this city this
afternoon of the death of Dr. Sam
uel A. Baer, instructor of pedagogy at
the Maryland State Normal School at
Froatburg, Md.. and a former principal
of the Harrtsburg High school, now the
Central High school, this city.
Dr. Baer died at Frostburg last even
ing following a stroke of paralysis yes

his widow, two sons, Joseph, a lieuten
ant in the United States army, and
Carl, a civil engineer, and a daughter,

Dr. Baer wtas principal of the Cen

1904 when he resigned and went to
Reading where he remained until
about six years ago. He was succeed
ed here by Dr. Frederick E. Downes,
who was later elected superintendent
of the Harrisburg school district. Dr.
Baer was 70 years.
Echo of World's War
in Dauphin Courts in
Drug Action Today
The Inevitable e ho of the world's
war was heard in the Dauphin county
courts this morning when L M. Leber
man's Sons, Incorporated, filed an ac
tion agalst Dr. J. N. Clark, a druggist,
for the recovery of $165 on a bill for
glycerine.
Leberman alleges that on September
15 he ordered 1,500 pounds of glycerine
from Dr. Clark at the latter's quoted
price of twenty-four cents a pound.
After waiting a month Clark failed to
deliver the goods and the plaintiff had
to buy It elsewhere at fifty-five cents
a pound. The additional cost, he says,
amounted to $465, and he therefore sued
for that sum.
Dr. Clark, it is contended, was un
able to supply the goods as he figured
because of the lack of the drug brought
about by the demand for its use In the
trenches of European battlefields.
Club Cyclists Who Break
Traffic Rules Will Be
Requested to Resign
Members of the Keystone Motor
cycle Club who violate! city traffic
regulations more than one time and
are reported to the board of directors
of that organization will be asked to
resign, it was announced to-day.
Co-operation with the city authori
ties is urged by the officers of the club
and every member has been notified of
the penalty for violating traffic rules.
It was said at the meeting of the board
recently that, little trouble has been
| experienced in the city with motor
cyclists, but in order to prevent any
possible violations the question of
membership was fixed as a penalty.
Willingness was shown on the part of
the members, it is said, to comply
entirely with city regulations.
NEW ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS
STOP ENTENTE'S PLANES
By Associated Press
New Tork, Oct. 23. One reason
why the aircraft of the nations of the

attacks upon German cities as here
tofore is that the Germans have in
vented a new anti-aircraft gun with
an accurate range of more than 10,-
