MURDERER KILLS
OFFICER TRYING
TO ARREST HIM
I Italian Who Took Life of
Harrisburg Man Is
Arrested
! Tony Rosso, also known by other
names, an Italian laborer, is to-day
| under heavy guard in St. Joseph's
j Hospital, Philadelphia, charged with
j the mur&ers of William E. Dunbar,
S of Harrisburg; Captain Ralph Mullen,
I a Pennsylvania Railroad detective,
i and otlier men, in Wilkes-Barre, and
' Buffalo, N. Y.
Police of the country have been
| on the lookout for Rosso since July
12, when, after a slight alternation,
ho shot and killed William Dunbar
at Franklinville; N. Y. Mr. Dunbar
was a Harrisburger and had his resi
dence at 218 North Second street. He
was a supervisor for the Pennsylvania
Railroad on the Erie Division. Im
mediately following this act Rosso
disappeared and a reward of SI,OOO
for his apprehension was offered by
| the New York authorities. A descrip
' tien of the man was sent broadcast
throughout the country and all the
police departments in the larger cities
were on the lookout. The Philadel
phia police yesterday received word
that a man answering the description
I of Rosso was working on a sewer.
Captain Mullen and Detective Oeo
j netti, of the City Hall murder squad,
were sent on tile case.
Kill* Detective
Rosso was located in a saloon near
the Children's Homeopathic Hospital.
He was questioned by the two detec
tives, and began to grow suspicious.
Suddenly he pulled a knife from his
pocket, at the same time that Captain
Mullen pulled his gun. Rosso made
a lunge at Mullen and after knock
ing the gun from the latter's hand,
stabbed him in the neck, severing the
jugular vein.
Mullen fell, but managed to reach
his gun. Though dying and becom
ing weaker every minute from the
loss of blood. Mullen fired at Rosso,
hitting him In the cheek and leg. The
murderer was then overpowered by
the Philadelphia officers and placed
under arrest. Mullen died before as
sistance could be rendered. The pris
oner was bleeding profusely from the
wounds he had received and was
taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, where
lie is now under heavy guarc}. He
will recover, nnd in the meantime
the Philadelphia police are tracing
the man and connecting him with the
deaths ,of three other men.
Divrn Through Window
> Rosso put up a stubborn battle be
fore being cornered. He gave the
detectives a wild chase through the
Homeopathic Hospital grounds and
even after being cornered on an upper
lloor of the hospital, freed himself
t'rem the detectives, dived headfore
most through a window, taking sash
and glass, and landed safely on the
ground below. The pursuing officers
followed him and finally landed their
quarry in a nearby cellar. During the
excitement shots were fired frequently
and pedestrians were forced to seek
shelter.
Rosso was searched when landed in
the hospital and papers were found in
his possession that showed that he
had worked )n Seranton tor the Dela-:
ware, and Western Rail
road as a laborer. The prisoner stol
idly refuses to answer any questions. I
The police believe they have captured
a dangerous criminal and allege that
he has been connected with at least
three murdejs in tills country and
possibly more In Italy.
Captain Mullen, the detective who j
was killed, is well known in the po
lice circles of Harrisburg. He was |
thirty-five years old and has been a
member of the police force of Phila
delphia for years. He is survived by
his mother and a sister.

FROST DAMAGES
TENTH OF LATE
CROPS IN STATE
Central Pennsylvania Escapes
Heavy Loss; Cold Period
Is Over
Rapidly rising temperaturoß, break
ing the abnormally low period of the
last few days, are predicted for the
remainder of the week by Forecas
ter Dgmain, of the local United
States Weather Bureau.
There was a light frost in low
places and somewhat heavier In
more exposed places again last night
Mr. Demain said, but only crops or
the tendorest variety, like melons,
were damaged. The frost the nifcht
preceding did slight damuge to to
matoes and beans around here but
heavier in the rest of the State. A
heavy fog which did not lift until
well on in the morning furnished a
natural protection for crops. The
lowest temperature last night was 41.
The night before it was 40. It will
not drop' below fifty to-night, the
forecaster said.
The extreme low temperatures at
this season of the year broke rec
ords back for ten years. Usually
frosts do not occur in this section of
the country until the second week of
October.
Over ten per cent, of Southern
Pennsylvania's late vegetable crop
was damaged by the frosts of yester
day and to-day, and in Northern
Pennsylvania the loss will be greater,
according to telephone reports ob
tained at the State Department of
Agriculture. Members of the farm
ers' advisory corps, who were here
to-day for consultation with Secre
tary Patton and who are just in from
the fields, reported that in the low
lands there were heavy pr "black"
frosts and that in higher places
winds tempered the condition and
saved the vegetables.
In southern and eastern counties
the beans and sweet potatoes, both
of which were more extensively
planted than ever before, were hard
hit and some farmers reported total
losses. Tomatoes also appear to have
suffered generally, but there are
chances for saving many of them,
according to what has been reported
here. Truck patchei in southern
counties were damaged because most
of them are located in low lying
ground.
i In Lancaster county farmers took
I time by the forelock when frost was
predicted and sent out men to get
in tobacco and saved a considerable
part of the crop. The same plan was
followed in York, but there will be
some loss. In Tioga, Clinton and
other northern counties tobacco,
which was not gathered, was ruined.
Northern county reports show
buckwheat damaged probably twenty
per cent, and late potatoes, beans
and tomatoes seriously harmed. In
many sections there were larger
acreage devoted to these crops than
before. Corn was also damaged, but
can be saved for silos. In some
northern counties the mercury went
down to thirty degrees.
SHIP SHORTAGE GROWS
SERIOUS FOR ENTENTE

the submarine losses and supply the
constantly increasing demands.
Situation Serious
"There is no disguising the fact
that the shipping situation is serious.
Do not misunderstand me—the ship
ping situation has not grown serious
through any Increased success of the
German submarine warfare. As a
matter of fact the German subma
rine war is being held down very
well and the average sinkings show
no increase either in number of ships
or tonnage. The sinkings in the At
lantic matn routes are now very low
end the greater proportion of the
sinkings occur in out-of-the way
spots, indicating either that the sub
marines have been forced afield or
that a larger number of them are
operating.
Tonnage Shrinking
"Hut the total available tonnage
is shrinking slightly while, on the
other hand, the demands for tonnage
from all directions are increasing
tremendously. Where three ships
were needed a year ago, four are
needed now. France Is very short of
coal, one of the vital necessaries for
winter Italy is short of coal, and the
shortage Is so serious that it Is caus
ing the Italian government the ut
most concern. For, all these short
ages there is only one remedy, name
ly tonnage.
"But a still more important de
mand for tonnage comes from Amer
ica, whence the entente's great re
scfTO of men must come this winter.
The necessity for tonnage to trans
port the American Army and keep
them supplied is perhaps the most
important feature of the shipping
situation.
"So, the entente statemen have
arrived at - the conclusion that the
winning of the war may depend on
the new effort which will be de
marvded of England and America
this winter, an effort to push quick
ly to completion more quickly than
ever attempted before —(leet upon
fleet of ships to carry the sinews of
war to the fighting nations."
DEALERSIVORKOFF
COAL AT HIGH PRICES
[Continued from lMrst Page.]
advanced proportionately.
The increase in price was brought
to the attention of Dr. H. A. Gar
field, in charge of the government
commission. After making a study
of the prices. Dr. Garfield made the
following statement:
"These dealers are working: off
their coal at the very highest prices
they can get in anticipation of 'the
price being put on it by the govern
ment. I can assure the consumers
that the price will be put on It as
quickly as possible, certainly before
the end of this month, and I would
advise them to hold off buying coal
at exorbitant prices until then. The
excuse given by the dealers, that
they must bid for coal from inde
pendent operators, Is worth very lit
tle, for the Independent operators
cannot demand a price beyond that
fixed by the President for coal at
the mines. _
"You can say for me with the ut
most assurance that Phlladelphlans
will get their coal for winter and
that they will get It at reasonable
prices, In spite of the present situa
tion."
The now prices quoted by Phila
delphia dealers are as follows: Pea,
$8; egg, $9: stove, $8.76; chestnut,
$9.00.
Harrlsburg prices recently quoted
are as follows: Pea, $7.25; egg,
$7.90; stove. $B.ll i; chestnut, $8.25.
Philadelphia's present prices rep
resent an increase over the prices In
effect In this city as follows: Pea, 75
cents; egg, $1.10; stove, 60 cents;
chestnut. 75 cents

STEELTON HIGH'S
FIRST PRACTICE
Hard Schedule Ahead For
Taggart Crew; Means
Strenuous Work
Steelton High will have a hard
schedule for a new football team.
This was told to a big bunch of foot
ball candidates yesterday who were
out for preliminary practice. While
the response was very gratifying and
the spirit is strong, Coach Taggert
is of the opinion that hard work
only and daily practice will bring the
desired results.
While Steelton was hit hard by
the war, many of the best stars went
out with graduation. Some strong
material was left behind, and in the
new athletes there is much promise
with one exception every game on
the schedule this season will be with
teams that have shown superiority
heretofore.
Season Starts In Two Weeks
The season opens September .29
with Pottsville. Steelton has always
had a hard battle with the co#l re
gion team. This year with but two
weeks to get ready, it Is a question
whether the Steelton boys will be
able to show anything like the form
of last season at the go off. The open

war received a more flattering dem
onstration.
1,000 Men Under Arms
Harrisburg may well feel proud of
the record established by this city.
More than one thousand men from
this city and the immediate pur
roundings ure now enlisted in the
armed forces of which Troop C was
the last to leave for tlie southern
training camp.
Shortly after noon yesterday, bells
and whistles announced that the big
parade would form two hours later.
The schedule hour for the departuio
of the cavalry company was three
o'clock. The- Governor's Troop did
not actually leave the Pennsylvania
yards last evening until almost
o'clock. Information received tn the
early afternoon indicated that the
train for the troops would not be
made up at the hour scheduled, and
the parade did not move from the
State street armory until 2.30
o'clock.
March in Four Divisions
The parade formed in four divi
sions, with Thomas P. Moran chief
marshal. The lirst division was com
posed of the Veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, and Spanish-American
War Veterans, led by the Common
wealth band. The Harrisburg Re
serves, uniformed guardp of Stev
ens Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church and Sons of Veterans were
in this division.
The second division was composed
of civic and business organizations.
Doutrich's store arranged to have tho
Uniformed Hussars band of Palmyra,
here for the event, but the band did
not arrive in the city until the pa
rade was over. Following were em
ployes of the William Strouse store.
Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, The
Globe, The Hub, Bowman & Com
pany, Kaufman's, Woolworth's, store,
Kresge's, Pennsylvania Milk Prod
ucts Company, the Chamber of Com
merce, the Rotary Club and the Fur
niture Dealers'-Association.
One of the most impresive fea
tures of this parade was the splendid
showing made by members of Tech
High Schol, there being almost 700
of the future defenders of the na
tion in line. The Tech students fol
lowed Kaufman's men, and were led
by the faculty, with Charles 13. Ima
ger, Jr., at the head. George I. Fish
er, captain of the senior clas, com
manded the student battalion.
Boys Cheer Troopers
The third division was headed by
the Municipal band. In new uniforms.
This organization made an unusually
attractive showing. The Harrisburg
I.odge of Elks, the Loyal Order of
lloose and the Fraternal Order of
Eagles followed. •
The fourth division was composed
of members of the Governor's Troop
and the Troop Veteran Association,
with ex-members acting as a special
escort of honor.
Upon arriving at the Pennsylvania
railroad station, the Tech students
cheered the departing troopers. Then
the soldiers standing at attention and
the massed thousands with uncovered
heads, the bands played the national
anthem, while a great hush spread
over the crowd.
Assistant Attorney General Wil
liam M. Hargest, delivered a brief
farewelladdrtss. in which he ex
pressed pleasure in being a charter
member of the Governor's Troop, an
honor which was fully appreciated
by the speaker.
"Hearts are saddened and eyes
are dimmed with tears because you
are going." said Mr. Hargest. "While
we hope that you may not be called
upon to actively participate in this
war. if this be your portion, you will
do your part in a manner to reflect
credtt upon yourselves, your lovod
ones and your city, that humanity,
democracy and justice may not per
ish.
"In behalf of all assembled, T hid
you nn affectionate fervent and
hopeful farewell. May tho God of
battle protect and keep you; may the
God of peace return you every one
safely to your loved ones."
Following a demonstration by the
Tech students, ranks were broken,
and the men of Troop C were per
mitted to take leave of their loved
ones.
The many tearful scenes enacted
Monday were duplicated yesterday.
Hinari nature is pretty much the
same the world over, and the mother,
the wife, the sister and the sweet
heart, found it hard when the Inst
moment came to give up her soldier
man without opening the flood-gated
of sorrow. Tn a peculiar wnv the
Governor's Troop seems to belong to
this city, and tho leave-taken of the
boys was an event that no spectator
would pass over lightly.
Combined with the sorrowful
scenes yesterday -was one happening
which touches n lighter vein, nnd
furnishes considerable amusement
for tl-.nse who were fortunate
oimh to witness he occurrence. Cap/"

City Will Be Asked to
Speed Up Contributions
to Camp Library Fund
Miss Mary I. Lamm, of Philadelphia,
one of the assistants of Mrs. D. G.
Currier, who is in charge of the rais
ing of the funds for the soldiers' camp
libraries, was here to-day for consul
tation with Miss Alice R. Eaton, li
brarian of the Harrisburg Public Li

district. Harrisburg will be asked to
give $6,000 for the fund. The idea is
to have a real library in each of the

When a handsome youth of the
Medical unit entrained Monday the
pretty young Miss wound her fair
arms about his neck and would not
bo consoled. Weeping bitterly, friends
were about to tear her away wljen
she fell to the floor of the tratnshed
in a swoon.
Imagine Captain Barclay's sur
prise yesterday when the dear little
girl of tho former touching scenes
placed her hands upon the shoulders
of a departing trooper. Surpristd but
not unresponsive, the young soldier
waited, but the. unfeeling officer took
a hand just then and requested the
youtm lady In kind but firm tones to
move on. She moved.
Take Mounts Alone
Hundreds of persons made gifts of
fruits, calces and delicacies to the
[ soldiers. With careful usage, the
hguardsmen should have enough choc
olate to last them through the war,
providing the conflict does not con
tinue more than threo or four years
longer.
Troops from Tyrone and other west
ern points were transferred here last
night, their cars having been cleaned
and were held in waiting for their ar
rival. The members of Troop C will
have their horses with them, as they
were shipned on the same train. The
mounts will be taken from their cars
and exercised as opportunity offers.
Another feature of the procession
was the turnout of the entire Tech
High student body 700 strong to do
honor to the twenty-three members
of the Governor's Troop who are
graduates or former members of the.
Technical High school. In the throng
were big and little, fat and lean, hut
the hearts of each beat as one for
their former companions who were
to go out to fight their battle.
Between Third and Fourth streets
on Market the Maroon students stood
in review of the po-aways. It was
"so-long" to "Snitz;" "good luck," to
"Fitz;" "take good care of your
self." to "Bill" and "Hank" and
"Bob" and "Pete." and many another
"good old scout" of , former days,
who had learned to fight his first
battles on the gridiron for "Dear Old
Tech."
After the laat line of khaki clad
lads had passed by the Maroon stu
dent* fell In line and proceeded to
tho station where there were more
cheers for each one and final good
bye.
Send Football Equipment
But the Technical High school lads
sent more than good wishes. along
to Dixie land. Yesterday they took
up a collection after chapel exercises
for the purchase of football equip
ment for the boys of the troop who
want to contlnuo playing the gridiron
name and uphold the honor of Tech
wherever they may go. A substantial
sum was raised and moneys from
other sources will be added to equip
the squad.
Dr. C. B. Fager, Jr., principal of
the school, was the donor of a foot
ball to be used by the team In their
contests. Tech students will be eager
to hear of the success of their old
er colleagues In the fall days that
ar* to come.
Railroads to Co-operate

Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the
Railroads War Board, authorizes the
folio wing:

LIVE STOCK MEN
HAVE BUSY YEAR
Inspect Many Slaughterhouses
and Examine Much
Meat
A bulletin issued at the Capitol
calls attention to the services ren- j
dered the people of Pennsylvania
In the inspection of slaughterhouses
and the examination of meats oy
the Livestock Sanitary Board of the
Department of Agriculture. During
the past year officials having In
charge the meat hygiene work have
closed fifty-two establishments while
were compelled to make
Improvements suggested by the in
spectors. The meat hygiene survey |
during the year Included the inspcc- .
tion of 9,997 meat markets and the
examination of 3,327 slaughterhouses
In this work there were 43,837
carcasses of meat examined and
40,446 organs of food material in
spected. During the year there was
inspected and passed 2,717,783
pounds'of meat.
Over fifty per cent, of the meat
consumed in the State is slavtKhtere-J
under Federal and Municipal inspec
tion leaving only the remainder for
the agents of the department to look
after the inspection of the smaller
slaughterhouses in the State. Re
markable strkles have been made
In the handling of all meats and
more sanitary conditions are being
exacted in both slaughterhouses and
the meat markets where the meat
and meat products are sold.
WHEAT SELLS FOR $2
BUSHEL UNDER U.S.PLAN
[Continued from First Pago.]
Monday morning. The report covers
every detail of the week's business,
and the government commission 'is
informed each Saturday of every de
tail connected with buying and sell
ing in all parts of the country.'
Sell as Before
Whether or not the local concern
is permitted to sell to mills having
a greatelr capacity than one hundred
barrels a day is a problem which has
not been determined. For the present
the local people are advised to sell
as before at government prices. Aft
er the corporation gets everything
to working irnoothly, it is possible
that millers will be required to buy
all of their grain through the com
mission. Whether this would mean
that the local elevators would be re
quired to ship their grain to the cen
tral elevators, and the commission in,
turn would reship it to the local mill
ers, is not clearly determined.
May Soil Direct
It is not likely however, that the
government would follow a plan as
costly as this one, although many
elevator men believe that this is pre
cisely the plan that will be followed.
It seems more likely that in case the
corporation makes sales direct to tho
milers. the elevator nearest the flour
mill will be designated as the ship
ping point.
For the present, the Paxton Flour
and Feed Company is advised to sell
ns they have bten selling in the past.
Large local buyers are the Steelton
people, the mill at that place having
a capacity of two thousand barrels.
The price of $2 per bushel for a
good grade of local wheat is based
upon the price of $2.20 for hard
northern wheat, Chicago basis. No. 1
red wheat, at the Baltimore and Phil
adelphia terminals, is quoted by the
commission at $2.29. Pennsylvania
wheat, it is said, is not equal to the
above grade. Other and poorer grades
of wheat than that designated as the
$2 grade, may be purchased by the
elevator people at a fair price.
Two dollars is considered by farm
ers a fair price for wheat. In May,
1917, a small amount of the 1916
crop sold at $3.10 per bushel. This
was the high water mark. In 1913
wheat sold locally for 85 cents per
bushel. In 1914 the price was sl.lO.
The record price in 1915 was $1.50 j
a bushel.

REGISTRATION IS
ABOVE LAST YEAR
1,310 More Than in 1917;
Country Voters Making
Sure of Ballots
Registration of voters In the
county this year exceeded that of
last year, according to figures com
piled by the cotinty commissioners'
offlce from returns of the county
district registry assessors. The cltjr
totals will be computed next week
after the final registration day.
County officials account for the big '
increase because of the large number
of men coming here for employment
in the big steel plants. The most ,
notable gain is in Steelton, where
740 of the 1,300 Increase is recorded.
While the drafting of men for the •
national army will reduce the num
ber of voters- slightly, It is not be
lieved that it will bring the total
below that of last year.
Total registrations in the county
district this year were 20,405; last
year 19,095; in Steelton this year
3,985; last'year. 3,245; Mlddletown,

3 Cakes Cuticura Soap
and 2 Boxesof Ointment
Healed Pimples on Face
"Big red and hard pimples began all
over my face. They came to a head
and were scattered. They burned caus
fing me to scratch and ir
ritate my face, and they
also caused loss of sleep.
I tried all kinds of salves
and soaps but they did not
help me anv, and I had
the trouble tor over eight
months and a half. Then
I used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and I used three
cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment for two months
when I wascompletelyhealed." (Signed)
Frank Geklinsky, 1290 Mine St., R. F.
D. 1, Taylor, Pa., January 29, 1917.
It is easy to prevent skin and scalp
troubles by using Cuticura Soap, and no
other, for all toilet purposes, assisted
now and then by touches of Cuticura
Ointment to first signs of pimples,
rashes, dandruff or irritation. Bathe
with Cuticura Soap and hot water, dry
lightly and apply Cuticura Ointment.
At once the itching ceases, sleep and
rest follow, and complete healment in
most cases results in continued use of
these fragrant super-creamy emollients.
Absolutely nothing better.

HE MIGHT HAVE
TAKEN A TUMBLE
Tanlac Got Cnrpcntor Over Dizzy
Spoils—Now He Is
Quite Safe
"I've had my fill of stomach
trouble and rheumatism." declared
D. S. Newsanger, 118 Coral street,
Lancaster, Pa. "My kidneys were
doing their worst, too. I usually had
a pain in my back as well as rheu
matic pains in my limbs. I hurt all
over and could hardly creep up and
down the ladder. I almost gave up
eating because notuing digested.
When I'd eat a little I would bloat
ar.il get crampy. Sometimes I had
headache and dizzy spells and couldn't
breathe right; my heart beat fast,
then slow. I got to feeling fit for
nothing and had to get better or
throw up the snnnsre. Medicine I
tried was worse than rfothlng.
"Took about a week for Tanlac to
fix the rheumatism and the pain in
my back. 1 can go around easy
now. My stomach could be no
stronger and my appetite no better.
No bloating or pain after eating. I
can get a full breath and 1 haven't
had a headache or been dizzy for
days. Climbing the ladder never ex
cites my heart. I rest better at night,
have more strength and endurance
and I will be on the Job until the
busy season closes.
"My wife takes Tanlac for her
nerves and she's getting better every
day."
