Man Held on Charge of Stealing Automobile Gears Ac
cused of Purloining His Summer Home, Built on
Island From P. R. R.
The character described in "The
Man Who Stole a Meeting House,"
has apparently nothing on two Har
risburg residents who built for
themselves a "comfy" little summer
home on a strip of island land just
across from Hargest Island.
Yesterday morning Officer G. W.
Fetrow passed some men who were
in the act of transferring a kettle
filled with Junk, on the road near the
Harrisburg Academy. After pass
ing the men, Fetrow returned and
conducted an investigation. He found
that, the "junk" consisted of almost
200 pounds of automobile gears.
Robert Hodges, colored, was making
the purchase and W. H. Richards,
1920 Fulton street, was the seller.
Richards, who is a passenger fire
man for the Pennsylvania railroad
and is in line for promotion to engi
neer, was requested to attend court
yesterday afternoon. He told about
having gotten the junk from Ernest
Shindler, of Woodbine street. Ac
cording to Richards, the other man

brought the metal, a piece at a time,
to the island. When a quantity had
accumulated, Richards brought it
across in a boat, having previously
arranged the sale with Hodges.
Alderman Landis held Richards in
the sum of S3OO for a further exami
nation.
James Morrissey, a Pennsylvania
railroad detective, after questioning
Richards, accompanied Fetrow to
the island for an examination of the
house in which the junk had been
stored. Arriving there, they found
a variety of lanterns, picks and shov
els. all railroad property.
They also discovered something
else. The house had been stolen,
piece by piece, from the Pennsylva
nia railroad. It is a fine cozy little
place,, according to the officers, and
even the weatherboarding which
keeps out the summer breezes and
the winter snows, once graced a
cahoose.
Railroad police are conducting an

COL BEARY GIVES
STATE WAR DATA
Interesting Address Given to
the Members of the State
Society Yesterday
Col. Frank D. Beary, Acting Ad
jutant General and the man most
spoken of to succeed Adjutant Gen
eral Thomas J. Stewart, gave the
members of the Pennsylvania State
Society a notable address upon Penn
sylvania in the wars of the nation,
at the first luncheon of the winter
at the Harrlsburg Club, yesterday.
Colonel Beary showed a remarkable
grasp of the subject and was asked
many questions by Governor Brum
baugh and the officials gathered
about the board.
In the course of his remarks Col
onel Beary said:
"Pennsylvania has evor been a
leader in the defense and mainten
ance of our country. Prior to the
Revolutionary War the Pennsylvania
German and his Scotch-Irish asso
ciate stood between the savage and
the thin line of settlements along the
Atlantic seaboard, and the safety and
well-being of these colonies depend
ed largely on the courage and stead
fastness of these Pennsylvanians. In
,the Revolutionary War Pennsylvania
bore her full share in the establish
ment of the Union, and Pennsylva
nia soldiers were present at most of
the important engagements of this
war.
"In 1812 it was the Philadelphia
built Clipper that carried the flap of
the infant United States to all the
parts of the world and demanded
and maintained a respect for it.
"In the Civil War Pennsylvania
did more than her share. Her sol
diers participated in more battles and
In greater numbers than the soldiers
of any other state, and it was upon
the soil of Pennsylvania that the
backbone of the Confederacy was
broken,' and Pennsylvania soldiers
held and defended the most import
ant points in this battle. Pennsylva
nia was the only state to have a com
plete brigade in this war, under its
own officers; officers and men all be
ing- from the Keystone state.
"In the Spanish-American War
Pennsylvania again had a complete
brigade of its own troops and was
the only state so represented.
"Last year during the Mexican
border trouble, which might have de
veloped into a serious war, Pennsyl
vania again came to the forefront
and sent a complete division, the
only state having a complete divi
sion, under one commander, in one
camp, on the Mexican border. This
division insofar as its organization
arrangement and equipment was
concerned, was the most complete
body of troops on the Mexican bor
der.
"Now that our country has been
compelled to enter the world war,
Pennsylvania has again responded,
and has sent to Camp Hancock, Ga.,
a division complete in every par
ticular. Last week while calling upon
the commanding officer at Governor's
Island, New York, I was informed by
the chief quartermaster there, that
the Pennsylvania division now at
Camp Hancock was the most thor
oughly equipped of any of the or
ganizations in the Federal service to
day, excepting such organizations as
have been sent overseas. The com
pleteness of this division was largely
due to the generosity of the state
government and the forethought and
preparation of the Adjutant General,
Thomas J. Stewart.
"We have sent to Camp Hancock
25,608 men and 837 officers. This
division, due to changed conditions
of warfare In Europe, is now being
changed, and unfortunately many of
the regiments with a splendid his
tory, which could not help but en
courage its officers and men to great
er deeds are being dismembered and
the men assigned to other organiza
tions. While this is to be regretted,
yet sentiment or historical record
cannot be allowed to interfere with
the efficient organization of a body
of men along the lines best adapted
to warfare in Europe to-day, and the
Governor has very wisely refrained
from interfering with the organiza
tion as laid down by the War De
partment.
"In addition to the National Guard
which for years has been preparing
for any duty it may be called upon
to perform for the Federal govern
ment. Pennsylvania has furnished
for the National Army not the
•Draft' Army a total of 60,859 men.
Sixteen thousand three hundred and
twenty-one of these have been
sent to Camp Meade, and about the
same number remain to be sent
there. Fifteen thousand, five hun
dred and thirty-nine have been
sent to Camp Lee. This number rep
resent 65 per cent, of the total num
ber of men to tje sent to this camp.
Three thousand two hundred and
thirty-three have been sent to Camp
Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, and this
represents 75 per cent, of the num
ber of men to be sent to this camp.
These men not trained in the arts of
war represent the manhood of the
State of Pennsylvania, and I feel sure
that with the training they will ob
tain at these, cantonments will be
prepared to preserve the honor of
Pennsylvania, and to perform the
same deeds of valor and heroism in
this war as their fellow citizens of
the Keystone state have performed
in past wars.
"These statistics may be dry sub
ject matter to most of you gentle
men, and the subject itself may be
foreign to you, but I have chosen
this subject and present this matter
to you with a purpose in view. Each
one of you as the head of your de
partment in the State of Pennsyl
vania can aid in encouraging the or
ganization, the equipment and the
training of these, the soldiers of
Pennsylvania, and each one of you
can lend his share to making this an
efficient organization, which may be
come in the wisdom of God an in
strument to carry constitutional gov
ernment to the farthest ends of
Europe."
