ENOUGH TOBACCO
IN U. S. TO KEEP
YANKS SUPPLIED
Telegraph Fund Is Good Me
dium to Get Soothing
Weed to Fighters
___
"Tobacco plenty!" exclaimed the
proprietor of a corner store in the I
heart of Harrisburg to-day. "Well, j
I should say so. It is a great year !
for tho fragrant weed. Why the j
growers down in Lancaster county]
are getting forty cents a pound for:
the cured article. The growers have
all kinds of offers to sell. One Lan
caster firm has already packed over
12,000 cases, and the American To
bacco Company is gathering it in
right and left* It is a bonanza year
for the growers,"
This is great news for the Yanks
at camp and in the trenches. It
menus that you. American man,
woman, girl, boy, can contribute in
a special way to America's winning
the war. a way which is singularly
appreciated. Franco has announced
thai her tobacco supply is completely
exhausted. The government has th\ls
notified the public. So that Ameri
can soldiers must now depend ex
clusively on what is shipped from
this country. A canvass of some of
the stores in Harrisburg shows that;
hundreds of fathers and mothers'
are taking advantage of the big'
supply in this country to give their j
relatives at tire front a timely solace
with pipe, cigar or cigaret.
The offer of the American Tobacco
Company to give 4 5 cents worth for
every 25 cents sent in to the Tele
graph means that a soldier is pro
vided with pipe, tobacco and
cignrets.

A. F. of L. Leaders Probe
Charges of Dishonesty
Buffalo, N. Y.. Nov. IT.—The alleged
use of positions as representatives ot
labor in Baltimore for improper and
dishonest purposes was among ,the
I first questions acted upon to-day by
the American Federation of Labor in
convention here.
The charge submitted in a resolu
tion by representatives of the Inter
nationa) Longshoremen's I'nion stat
ed that the labor movement in Bal
timore was suffering from the action
of some labor representatives "by
reason of their grafting and their
positions as representatives of labor
nre being used to their selfish mid
personal benefits.
The resolution asked on immediate
investigation. The committee on lo
cal and federal bodies, to which it
had been referred, reported to the
convention that the resolution cre
ated an unjust reflection, but recom
mended investigation by the incom
ing executive council.
After brief debate, in which Presi
dent Gompers said he had alreaay
addressed communications to persons
who seemed to be under suspicion,
the committee's recommendation was
adopted.
Resolutions seeking the appoint
ment of organizers to form locals of
I officorsworkers p.r.d stenographers
I were adopted. Women organizers
! were recommended for this work,
j Tile unionizing of city firemen was
I approved.
Railroad Securities
Drop Less Than Others,
Shippers' Counsel Claims
. By Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 17. Clifford i
I Thorne, leading counsel for shippers I
j in the fifteen per cent increase rate I
case, testified before the Interstate 1
Commerce Commission to-day that !
I the railroad securities have in the ;
last few months declined less# than !
many others, and that the net oper
ating revenues of the western roads'
already are far in excess of their es
timates for 1917. Mr. Thorne intro
duced statistics to prove his state
ment that the net operating revenues
of tli>> thirty-eight eastern roads in
terested in the case had reached a
total of $283,000.000 up to September
j :i0 last, and stated that the railroads
at the previous hearing estimated
their net operating revenue for lUI7
would be $215,000,0000.
Mr. Thorne also declared that the
net operating revenue of the eastern
roads was $543 a mile more during
June, July and August than the com
mission estimated they would be
when the decision against the in
crease was given last June. He tes
tified that his conclusion regarding
the position of railroad securities was
reached after examination of the
bands of twenty industrial stocks
published by a leading financial news
paper to give the general trend of
the securities market and those of
twenty leauing cities of the eouu
try.

Governor Would Make
Loafers Go to Work
Governor Brumbaugh to-day sent
a letter to a resident of a western
county, who had written to him
asking if there was not some way
to make able-bodied men inclined
to loafing work during the war, that
li 3 would like to see the national
government "put a dragnet over all
the cities of this country and take
the vagrant men and piake them
work as we are now making our
boys train in the camps for the
Army." The Governor says it would
be "an effective thing to help win
the war.' .
The correspondence on the sub
ject was as follows:
Carnegie. Pa., Nov. 14, 1917.
To the Honorable
Governor Brumbaugh,
Harrisburg, Pa.:
Dear Sir: We have quite a num
ber of men loafing around our
streets and saloons, that do not pro- i
duce anything for themselves, or}
the country, hut they have to be fed. I
Is there not some way in which they!
can be compelled to work at some-1
thing, they are able-bodied men, and
should be doing something to help;
ever if they could be drafted and j
made to work on the streets or
national highways.
Verv Respectively,
(Signed) F. D. McGREW, MD.
Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 16, 1917.
Dr. F. R. McGrew,
101 Main street, Carlisle, Pa.:
Carnegie, Pa.:
My Dear Dr. McGrew: You have
said a thing that has been in my
mind for days and months.
I have no power under tho laws
of this Commonwealth to proceed as
you have indicated. Of course,
vagrancy is a matter of local con
trol in the several municipalities of j
the Commonwealth, and I think that I
the Burgess of Carnegie should pro-j
ceed as you have indicated.
My thought is that the national
government, which does have the;
power, should put a dragnet over all j
the cities of this country and take
the vagrant men and make them
work, as we are now making our
hoys train in the camps for the
Army. It would be an effective thing
to help win the war.
Very truly yours.

Mr. Lovett issued this statement:
"While the situation may change,
yet I am not at this time contempla
ting any further action with respect
to transportation of non-essentials.
Priority order No. 2 with regard to
open top cars went as far as it seem
ed wise go in/dealing with that
problem by restricting the transpor
tation of non-essentials.
"Conditions', however, will be con
stantly observed. Whether the coal

i coal spply of non-essential indus
i tries is a question for the fuel ad
i ministrator, Dr. Garlleld, to determ
i ine; and if any priority orders be
j come necessary in the furtherance of
I his policy in that regard they will be
I made ony upon his request.
"As to the war industries board
i apart from my action under the
] priority act with respect to transpor
| tation, I may say that the Industries
!of the country would seeni to be
justified In assuming from the action
of the board in the matter of copper
and steel prices and its record gen

An avalanche of rumors dealing

There is almost a constant jingling
of telephones in newspaper offices I
from worried persons asking for < :n

Opinion in well informed circles
is that most of the tales are started '
by German sympathizers. That most

lous apparently does not prevent
many persons from believing in
them.

'NO ENTHUSIASM FOR

[Continued from First Page]
spondent continues, there was a .-om
plcto absence of definite news. Order
prevailed at all stations and fewer
soldiers than usual besieged the
train. The more quiet element of
soldiers with whom the correspond
ent talked were indignant with the
Bolsheviki, while the Socialists de
clared they were for General Korni
loff. Others seemed to know little
of politics and to care less. There
was complete order when the train
passed through Kharkova and
Kurskt. Many contradictory reports
were current as the train approach
ed Moscow. The train was stopped
on the outskirts of the city.
"We heard the sound of guns,"
the Telegraph's correspondent says,
"and were told by .officers that the
training school was being bom
barded. Women told terrible stories
of fighting and bloodshed through
out Saturday and Sunday. They de
clared that entire broad lines were
mown down by machine guns.

"At the station there was not a

only gather vague rumors of con

CITY'S HISTORY
REVIEWED FROM
1902 TO PRESENT
J. Horace McFarland Points
Out Good and Bad Points
in Candid Manner
Mingling emphatic praise for the
"Harrisburg Plan" which has made
the city famous all over America and
also freely criticising certain features
of our civic regime, J. Horace Mc
-I'arland last, evening gave an Illus
trated lecture on "llarrisburg, Past,
Present and Future," at the Boyd
Memorial llall which was heard by a ▼
Iftrge and attentive audience.
llluserating his lecture throughout
with splendid stereopticon views of
scenes before and after the public
improvement begun In 1902, he first
described the civic awakening. "Har
risburs is not an ordinary capital
city," he reminded. "It has attract
ed wide attention all over the coun-
I try because of its scheme of public
improvements, termed the Harris
burn' plan.
"No other city lias ever under
taken a similar concrete scheme of
civic betterment, or carried it out
to the istent that lias been done in
Harrisburg, and that Is the reason
this city is in the public eye."
t "We took the best men to do thjs
| work, because we needed the best
i men," he commented. "Of late we •
I have come to take the man who says
he needs a job; we don't use the
principle which has ben largely re
sponsible for the success of our
scheme of public improvements."
/ Speaking of the recent fatality on
trie Mulberry street bridge, Mr. Mc-
Karhind said that It was not due to
any faulty plans of the engineer who
designed the structure.
I "it must be remembered that at
the time the plans were drawn we
>.id not have regular freight cars on
.vheels. called autotrucks, traversing
our streets. The accidents are really
not the fault of the way the bridge
was designed."
The signboard evil came in fc>r
strong censure, and the speaker
then urged the necessity of atten
lion to the propev care of shade
Iroes in thp city. "We have scarcely
fifty healthy, normal trees in the
whole city," he declared. "All we
have is a. lot of old wrecks.'
I The failure of the City Planning
Commission to erect a public comfort
' station and the election of "men of
' small vision" in school affairs were
also points of severe criticism.
Moose Pass Resolutions
