Hundreds of cases of the fever, which, health authorities say, were caused by contaminated ice cream, have been reported in many cities and towns, breaking records in a number of these places. In Ilarrisburg 355 cases have been reported siijice August 16. Two deaths occurred in August, four in September and fourteen in October. These figures do not include nonresident deaths at the Harrisburg Hospital, where scores of patients were cared for, many of them being brought here from points outside of the city. In 1915 a near epidemic was re corded. Ninety-three cases were re ported, but they were well scattered and traced almost entirely to outside sources of contagion. This year, how ever. health officials, by many weeks of careful analysis and investigation, declared that ice cream containing typhoid germs was responsible for a large majority of the caseS, Ban Not Yet Lifted Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health officer, as soon as he learned definitely the source of tho trouble, urged people to stop eating ice cream until it was declared entirely safe by the City Health Department. This ban lias not been lifted yet, although health and food officer!: assert that with few ex ceptions all of the ice cream sold now is up to the standard and does not contain disease germs. Whenever any Is found to be contaminated, the manufacturer is ordered not to sell It.

Horace McFarland Warns Voters Against Attacks of Cowardly Men "Pay no attention to attacks upon tilc: liisrli school loan made by persons who are too cowardly to sign their names to the circulars they are issuing and who urefusing this method to give themselves an excuse for advancing rents after election. There will he no reason lor an advance of rents be cause of the passage of the high school loan. The most that could be added to any landlord's taxation the tirst. year of this loan would be 9 cents a month on every SI,OOO hour, but the likelihood is there will be no increase." J. Horace McFarland, speaking be fore the Harrisburg Rotary Club at luncheon to-day, warned the Rotarians ugainst being fooled by the arguments of the little fellows who are living on the high rents of small houses and are trying to get more out of their tenants. The Rotarians are support ing the loan and will turn out on elec tion day to work for it. "The man who put out. a circular against the loan which has come to our notice did not sign his name, but we know who he is. He is the owner of a large number of small properties rented by working people and his pur pose in making this attack is plain. The figures he uses are the same kind [Continued on Pag- 7] Suffragists Are Accused of "Poison Pen" Attacks Washington. Oct. 30. That the antisuffragists throughout the coun try are being attacked by "poison pen" postcards mailed broadcast by the suffragists, charging them with working with the liquor interests to defeat prohibition, and that present methods show "the danger of deplor able partisan attacks on women" if they are enfranchised, are features of an indignant statement issued by Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. "What may bo called poison pen politics," says Mrs. Dodge, "marks the climax of a campaign of concerted, unscrupulous and unsubstantiated at tacks by which the suffragists have tried for years to identify the anti suffragists with the liquor interests. "I am impelled again lo make a formal and official denial that there is any connection whatsoever between the antisuffragists and the liquor in terests, in the hope that we may bo able to silence forever these unfound ed accusations and lift the struggle for and against woman suffrage to a level of fair play and dignity worthy of American womanhood."

In { ALLIES DRIVE WEDGE FARTHER INTO GERMANS Both French and British Ex tend Gains Along Somine; Capture Trench Systems Both the British and the French on the Somme front report a successful continuation of their effort to drive the point of the wedge created by their prolonged offensive further into the German lines. This point at present projects across the Perontie-Bapaume road at Sailly- Sailllsel. Last night the French again struck the German front here and ac cording to the Paris war office cap tured a system of trenches west of Sailly-Saillisel, advancing as far as the Sailly church. Immediately to the northw.est at the convergence of their front with that of the French, the British have been pounding for two days at Ger man positions near Le Transloy, and have reported the capture of several trenches.

Jerry Suchardo aged 18 years, confessed yesterday that he killed his pal and ran away and left him to the rats in an alley. Elmer Carlson, aged 20, who he shot, was regarded by the police as the "brains" and Jerry is known as the "gun" of a gang of a hundred crimes. Jerry, in an unemotional matter-of fact manner, admitted a hand in 60 hold-ups. It was to "stick up" some one that he went forth with Elmer on Saturday evening, he said. They wait ed in the shadow of the alley for a likely victim. When he came along Jerry put the muzzle of a large re volver against his vitals and backed him against a shed. A search of the pockets brought resistance. Jerry pulled the trigger and It was Elmer who fell. The man who fought ran one way and Jerry another. Both Suchardo and Carlson have received leniency in the Boys' Court, but, according to Jerry's own state ment, they were perhaps the worst juvenile offenders brought before that bench. They stole so many automo biles and bicycles, such a large number of stores and ; mmltted so many holdups that he nnot begin to remember them all. addition all other materials have ad ■ vanced from 25 to 100 per cent.
