All nature smiled this morning
when the recruits from Dauphin and
Cumberland counts" gathered In Har
risburg, from several districts. A
more beautiful September morning
could not be Imagined, and at an
early hour, the streets were throng
ed with people. Visitors were here
from all parts of the county. Few
towns In this section of Pennsylva
nia were not represented when the
boys selected to form the first con
tingent of the forces from Dauphin
and the adjoining county, marched
through flag-bedecked streets.
At 8 o'clock this morning, whistles
blew simultaneously in Harrlsburg,
'Steelton, Mlddletown and other dis
tricts. Two hours later the big pa
rade was under way at Front antT
.Market streets. William Jennings

G. A. It. Chwml
The parade was led by a platoon
of police from the Harrlsburg police
department. Captain E. Laubenstein
was marshal of the first division,
which was led by the Commonwealth
band. The Grand Army of the Bopub
lic made an Impressive showing and
nil along the way this remnant of a
once great army, received the plnud
lts of the thousands who had gath
ered in honor of the boys of '7l. Two
beautiful American flags were car
ried by the veterans. Following were
veterans of the Spanish-American
War, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the
Boy Scouts and guards of the Stev
ens Memorial Methodist Fpiscopal
Church.
Much Favorable Comment
The second division was led by the
Municipal band. In their new uni
forms, the men of this organization
presented a fine spectacle. Colonel
Frederick M. Ott was chief marshal
of the division. By his side marched <
Captain Charles • P. Meek and
Stanley Jeans, as aids. The Har
rlsburg Reserves, led by Captain Wil
liam A. Moore, were next In line.
The Rotary Club, carrying the State
banners, made a flue showing. The
Steelton band led Doutrich's March
ing Club. These young men have an
organization that attracted a great
deal of favorable comment. All were
dressed In the natty uniforms select
ed by the club.
The men of Dives, Pomeroy &
Stewart carried flags of many na
tions. Marchers from the New Store
of William Strouse followed.
The third division was composed
of the city tire department. This was
one of the most impressive features
of the entire parade. Chief John C.

missioner E. Z. Gross, led the depart
ment. The equipment moved In the
following order: Friendship, chemic
al and engine; Hope, chemical and
engine; Citizens, chemical and en

Widely Cheered
Willliam. I. Laubenstein was chief
marshal of the fourth division. This
division was led by the Acme band
of Hummelstown. The draft board
and men of the second district came
first, followed by the New Cumber
land band. Then came the men of
the first Dauphin county district. The
Cumberland county recruits, wearing
orange identification tags, came last,
with Sheesley's carnival band bring
ing up the rear.
• Everywhere along the way, as the
boys made their way down Second
street to Boas, and over Third street
to Walnut, then on to Market, the
crowds were wildly enthusatlc in
their farewell. At the steps leading
to the State Capitol, the local Red
Cross organization was passed in
review. When the members of the
Rotary Club passed the ladies, eyery
head was uncovered.
Market Street Packed
Along Market street the crowd
was the largest, and those who plan
ned to watch the parade from some
point of vantage and rush to the sta
tion entrance at the last moment,
were bitterly disappointed.
The men of the selected army
marched by the regular entrance to
the depot, while the marching or
ganizations stood at attention. The
men were taken byway of the Fifth
street entrance to the trainshed.
"Goodby, 'Jim,' you make a fine
looking soldier," called out a heavy
voice from the crowd, as the hoys
from the Steelton contingent moved
along.
"Jim" almost lost step to reply.
"Thanks, awfully," he yelled out.
"You'd look Just as well by my side
to-day, if you hadn't faked the em
emption board!"
Many persons who failed to secure
passes to the trainshed, crowded
frantically toward the railing of the
depot as the boys marched in.
•lolly Crowd
A jolly crowd of selected men
came from Lewistown. This bunch
was in charge of Eagle Childs. While
waiting for the arrival of the boys
from this district those from Lewis
town left their cars and headed by *
drummer carrying a toy drum, and
two with fifes, marched to Market
street. On their return to the car
they kept the big crowd in a good
humor with their songs. To the tune
of "The Old Gray Mare," they used
the words "You'll Hear From Us
Over in Germany," and "The Stars
and Stripes Shall Wave Over Ger
many." They were loudly cheered.
Many of the conscripts carried
grips and suitcases. They were all
tagged and as soon as the uniforms
are distributed in camp the civilian
clothes will be sent back home. Many
of the drafted men left their bag
gage o"n trucks and when the time
came for entraining there was a
lively scramble.
In charge of the Steelton bunch
was "Pat" Reagan the well kn.own
athlete and coach. He had a busy
time at the station keeping his men
lined up. and carride all the official
• papers for his bunch. "Pat" was
given a great ovation by many of his
friends. In the big farewell crowd
were many Tech students who were
under the Steelton coach last season,
members of the Hassett Boys Club

the Grand Army of the Republic, the j
Veterans of the Spanish-American j

, impressed everyone as a good array
! in the making and the citizens of
; Harrisburg and surrounding towns

I This was by far the best parado
| that has been seen in Harrisburg in
some time, and was one that will go
; down in history linked with the dem
] onstrations given the boys of Com

Harrisburg Liquor and
Gun Gets Him in Trouble
Edward A. Furlong, of Coatesville,
is sorry that he decided to try a little
Harrlsburg liquor. He hadn't taken
a drop for more than a year, he told
Alderman Landis In court yesterday,
and more to the point, he has decided
to again take the pledge.
Furlong, who Is a prosperous mas
ter bricklayer, was In Harrisburg on
his way from Middletown, Ohio. He
planned to meet his wife here, and to
put in the time, he took a few drinks
at a local bar.
In Pittsburgh he had purchased a
revolver for his son. When somewhat
under the influence of liquor, accord
ing to th? man's story, he put the re
volver in a hip pocket and started out
to look the town over. At Third and
Cherry streets an officer picked up
Furlong, on a charge of carrying con
cealed deadly weapons.
Furlong was represented by counsel
in court yesterday, and because he
told a straight story he was permitted
to go with a fine of $25, which was
cheerfully paid.

out as a result of charges made by
Isadore Stern, a member of the State
Legislature, to the efTect that he had
forewarned the mayor of the impor
tation of the gunmen.
Stern charged that Mayor-Smith Ig
nored his appeal for protection in
the ward In the face of proof that
tho gunmen were responsible for the
attack upon the Finletter Republican
Club a few hours before Pollcwman
Eppley was slain and two other men
badly beaten. The mayor denied that
he had any knowledge that the men
were to be brought here and declared
he was ready for any warrant of
arrest. "All the power of my admin
istration." he added, "will be used
to assist the district attorney's office
in ferreting out the crime and fix
its responsibility upon the real crim
inals."
Stirs Whole City
The affair has aroused the city as
probably no other of a similar nature
in Its history and in addition to the
Investigation by District Attorney
Rotan, nquirles were under way to
day by the coroner, the detective bu
reau, the police department and the
Citizens Committee. After an exam
ination of witnesses to the shooting,
which continued virtually all night.
Rotan implicated that the killing ot
Eppley was wi hout provocation. "1
found," he said, "outrageous condi
tions in the Fifth ward. It seems
that six or eight men committed this
atsault absolutely without provoca
tion and only ttoo have been arrested.
There is no question but that these
gunmen were brought here by some
body for a definite purpose."
The district attorney said the pris
oners, Jacob Mascia. 23 years old, and
John Costello," 22. had confessed they
were brought here to vote for Isaac
Deutsch, rival candidate of James A.
Carey, whose life was also attempted,
but that they had denied the shoot
ing. Mascia is held on the charge ot
murder and Costello as an accessory.
COIPI.E SESiT TO JAII,
Thomas McGonigal, white, and his
wife, Mary McGonigal, colored, were
in court yesterday afternoon on a
charge of disorderly conduct. The
pair live at Sayford and Wyeth
streets, and witnesses testified that
their place bears a bad reputation.
Attorney Stucker represented the
couple, and attempted to prove that
the charge against McGonigal and his
wife was unfounded. Mrs. McGonigal
was permitted to testify In her own
behalf and told an interesting story,
which was vigorously denied by
police officers. Alderman Landis im
posed a fine of SSO or thirty days
each. The couple went to Jail.

Knows Wlint It Means
A large majority of the men who
sro In the army are smokers and
tobacco Is almost as essential to them
as food. Army and navy surgeons
know of the comfort and peace of a
smoke and the use of the weed Is not
prohibited. Intoxicants have been
forbidden, but tobacco has been
placed among the necessities, and
the people of Harrlsburg are doing
ti'clr part to furnish these smokes
with the aid of the Telegraph. It is
estimated that 25 cents will keep one
boy In khaki liappy for a week. One
dollar will keep four boys comfort
