Major Harrell Writes of
France in an Interesting
Letter to Dr. Hamilton
Major W. F. Harrell, formerly in
Charge of the Harrisburg Recruiting
district, in a letter to Dr. Hugh Ham
ilton pays tribute to the patriotism.
of Harrisburg citizens and newspa-1
pers. The letter follows:
"When I received your letter I was
under orders for service here and 1
decided to delay my reply until !
could make it from France. The op
portunity has arrived, so I am
■pending Christmas in this purpose.
It is now near midnight, December
S4-25. I know you would like to
hear of France as I should love to ,
tell you but it is forbidden by cen
sorship rules; however. France is as .
glorious and more so than you and 1
bad thought in our talks of the war.
That she will endure and succeed
there has never been any doubt in
cur minds, but we Americans must do
all we can. If the whole country
were so loyal and ready as Harris- i
burg, the task would be easier and j
more quickly done.
"All of my wishes for service have
•bout materialized, and I am very
grateful. In health and spirit I am
very fit, and in addition I am com- i
fortable. At present I am living with J
a very elderly couple whose home
has furnished three sons to the cause. I
They are more than good to me; in- j
Seed, I have not had such care since
a very small boy. The good old
mother says a prayer over me each
nlgtU, and she has never forgotten
the hot water bottles for my feet.
"Give the newspapers an extra
handshake for me, for they did splen
did service to the Government In thetr
active backing both of recruiting and
the Liberty Loans. It is now the first
hour of Christmas, and I trust I am
the first to wish you a Merry Christ- '
was and the best of luck."

Plans for an acUve rifle season
were outlined Saturday night by
members of the Keystone Rifle As
sociation. This organization has its
own range at Conewago, and its
membership includes employes
from all over the Philadelphia di
vision of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. The meeting was held in the
rooms of the supervisor of signals
of the Philadelphia division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The year's program will include
matches with the Harrisburg Rifle
Association and other organiza
tions; individual contests, team
matches and a series of matches
with teams from other towns along
the main line of the Pennsy. Troph
ies, medals and other prizes will be
awarded to winners during the
year. A schedule of events will be
announced in the near future.
To Make Ammunition
It was also decided to purchase
machinery for the manufacture of
ammunition and to secure addi
tional material. Improvements will
also be made at the Conewago
range. Following reports from the
officers. Superintendent J. K. John
ston, Chief Clerk W. R. Denehey
and Elmer Irving, division en
gineer, were elected honorary
members and the executive com
mittee was authorized to issue
membership tickets to these offi

Khaki Clad Men in Camps
Eager to See Theatricals
"There Is more human nature to
the square Inch In an audience of
khaki-clad regimentals than one
will find In any other audience In
the world," says O. E. Behjrmer,
manager of the Liberty Tents at
Camp Wadsworth.
Manager Behymer says, "All ot
the men In charge of our tents are
so enthusiastic that they Insist upon
staying for the duration of the war.
The thing gets Into one's blood. It
is the livest kind of a job.
"I am hoping that the Smlleage
Ompaign to provide entertainment
ft r the soldiers will go with a rush.
If prospective donators could see
what is actually being done the
thing would be quickly oversub
scribed."
Smileage books containing passes
to all the cantonments in army can
tonments and National Guard
camps will be put on sale through
out the country, January 28. They
sell for $1 and $5. according to
whether they contain 20 or 100 cou
pons. •
COMPREHEND IT THEY WISH
Many of the foreigners are ex
tremely bashful about admitting
their ability to speak and under
stand English when there Is work
to be done, according to the officers,
observes the Boston Herald. On the
other hand, if they desire a pass or
any similar official boon, their com
prehension becomes exceedingly
acute. On one occasion, a captain
announced:
"Kabibble, you are on fatigue
duty; you will sweep the mess hall
and the office."
"No splk Engleesh," murmured
the conscript, with a blank look at
his superior.
"Hm—wait a minute."
The ofTicer whispered to one of
the sergeants.
"Sure, he understands all right,"
the latter affirmed. "
The captain returned to the still
uncomprehending Kabibble.
"Look here. If you don't sweep
this mess hall quickly, you'll lose
your pass for the next month. Do
you understand that?"
"All right; where the broom?"
the private replied with astonishing
facility.

NEAR NEWPORT
Mercantile Express Tosses
Light Engine in Front of
East-Bound Train
Eight Pennsylvania railroad train
men were injured, one probably fa
tal," and three postal clerks badly
hurt, early yesterday morning in a
Pennsylvania railroad wreck at Iro
quois, near Newport.
Train No. 59, a fast express west-
I bound, crashed into passenger en
gine No. 3339, throwing the latter
over on the westbound freight track.
Train No. 6, eastbound against traf
fic in order to get around the freight
congestion piled Into the wreck.
Mistaken orders are said to have
left the light engine on the west
bound passenger track in the path
of Train No. 59, which was running
a little behind time and which ran
into it, going at a high rate of speed.
Too Late to Stop Express
The light engine was tossed Into
the air and over on the adjoining
passenger track directly in the path
of Mercantile Express, which was
too near to be stopped. The ex
press hit the wreck at a 55-mile ao
hour clip and jumped the rails.
All of the cars on the two trains
were of and vestibule type and
this saved the passengers and mail
clerks abroad. The three locomo
tives were so badly smashed that
they will be out of commission for
the next three months. The Injured
are:
The Injured
Harry Daveler, aged 36, Altoona,
passenger fireman, hurt about the
head, treated at Harrisburg Hospi
tal.
Simon Rensel, Camp Hill, brake
man who was riding on engine, pos
sible fracture of skull, in Harris
burg Hospital.
W. S. Butterbaugh, aged 50, Har
risburg, postal clerk, scalp cut and
bruised, treated at Harrisburg Hos
pital. |
Leo Graham, aged 19, Thompson
town, fireman, scalp cut and bruis
ed. Treated at Harrisburg Hospi
tal.
J. S. Fritz, aged 34, Harrisburg,
fireman, face cut and bruised.
Two postal clerks, E. J. Sellers,
rut about the head, and Henry Alex
ander, left arm broken, and G. H.
Giveler, brakeman, cut about the
head, were treated by attending
surgeons and sent directly to their
homes.
The temperature was below zero
at the time and the injured suffered
severely until relief arrived from
nearby towni and a special from
Harrisburg brought surgeons and
nurses. The cold Interfered with
the wreck crews and the main line
was blocked for the larger part of
Sunday.
$8,300,000 Deficit By
Pittsburgh Railways
Pittsburgh, Pa.. Jan. 21.—That
the Pittsburgh Railways Company
of a period of eleven years, from
1902 to 1913, pyramided a deficit in
its finances of $8,340,062.05, Special
City Counsel Robinson developed in
questioning Controller Mitchell, of
the company, at the hearing before
Chairman Ainey. of the state public
service commission, on the 6-cent
fare ruling, effective Tuesday.
This deficit was brought by in
quiring Into the issue of $10,000,000
debenture bonds of the railwavs
company taken up by the Philadel
phia Company. He said the deficit
represented cash actually advanced
the Railways Company by the par
ent Philadelphia Company.
It was brought out that the Phil
adelphia Company cleaned up 1,-
000.000 in taking the bond issue and
paying off notes held by banks
against the railways company. Divi
dends on underlying companies
were paid by money borrowed from
tt)9 Philadelphia Company.

Give Great Exhibition in Sat
urday Afternoon Game;
Freshmen Trim Juniors
Scalping the Carlisle Indian Re
serves Saturday afternoon at Chest
nut street auditorium proved an
easy task for the Technical High
school basketball team, the local ag
gregation winning a 44 to 24 score.
Coach Miller used eight players dur
ing the contest, and all of them did
creditable work, although tho en
tire squad at times played '.istlos3ly
because of tho fact that they were
not required to extend themselves
at any time during the game.
From the start of the contest unlll
the close, the Maroon held a good
"advantage, half time showing the
locals leading 24 to 9. Ebner was
the star tosser for Tech. Nine times
during the game he sent the ball
spinning through the net. "Hennle"
Kohlman, the Freshman guard,
netted five two-pointers. Referee
, Killinger called tho penalties, and
was on the job at all times. Fol
lowing the big game, an even more
interesting contest was staged be
tween the Freshman and Junior
interclass teams.
In the first half the first year lads
showed a case of stage fright ard
were on the losing end of an 11 to
4 tally at the end of the first half.
In the second period they staged
a great comeback, and aided by the
great work of Ed Emanuel, they
evened up the score at 20 points at
the conclusion of the game. An ex-1
tra five minutes gave the "Greenies"
a 24 to 22 victory that was nip
tuck from the beginning of the sec
ond half. The lineup and summary:

American League Head
to Abolish Player Limit
Chicago, Jan. 2L—Abolition of
the player limit In the American
League has been announced by Pres
ident Ban Johnson. The action was
necessary, he said, to protect club
owners who face the danger of los
ing several players In the next draft
for military service. He was ad- ,
vised that three members of the
Cleveland club—Roth, Harris and i
Klepfer—had been placed lp class '
one.
Under the new ruling, the clubs j
will be unrestricted in the number of j
players they carry. In previous
years, the clubs were obliged to
slash their roster to twenty-five men
on May 1.
President Johnston said he under- i
stood the National League would
take similar action.
"We are in the peculiar position
of not knowing what will happen In
the next draft," he said, "and it
seemed inadvisable to keep in effect
a ruling made for conditions .unlike
those now prevailing."
The meeting to draft the 1918
schedules of the major leagues, set
for Tuesday, In Washington, will be
held in Pittsburgh either on Tues- |
day or Wednesday, he said. The
change was made because of the ill
ness of Barney Dreyfuss, president
of the Pittsburgh Club, and one of
the National League representatives
on the schedule committee.

BROWNS' LEADER
SURE OF PLANK
Writes That Famous South
paw Will Be Back in
Harness This Season
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.—From far
oft Portland, Ore., the home of
Fielder Jones, comes the announce
ment that Eddie Plank has not re
tired from baseball. Last summer
Plank parted company with the
Browns, while the club was making
a swing through the east, and re
turned to his home In Gettysburg. It
was said at the time that the great
southpaw was in poor health and
never again would attempt to play
ball. His departure caused many re
grets, but little surprise, as Plank
had gone far beyond the stage which
usually marks the exit of major
league ball players'.
Fielder Jones, since tho close of
the" 1917 season, had refused to dis
cuss baseball from any angle, but
a few days ago he broke the long
silence, talked about his failure last
season and mentioned some of his
plans for the coming campaign. In
the list of boxmen who will be with
the club In 1918 Jones Included Ed
die Plank, and his remark that he
had a long letter from the Gettys
burg southpaw at Christmas leads
to the belief that Jones received
some assurance that Plank would be
using his old crossfire again next
season. In speaking about Plank
Jones said: •
Had Xo Trouble
"It has been said that Eddie
Plank and I had a disagreement and
that Plank quit the team in August.
True, Plank quit, but here are the
facts: I used to tell Eddie the day
before he pitched that he was to
work. On one of these occasions
when It came time to warm up Plank
said he couldn't work, that his arm
was sore. He went to his room after
the game and the next morning
called me on the 'phone and asked
me up to his room. When I opened
the door he was crying. It
that he had been to a doctor and
was advised to quit baseball for the
rest of the season, that his arm was
in bad shape. He told me then that
he thought he was through. I told
him to go home and rest. The pa
pers published a report that Plank
quit the team because of a fuss with
me. Why. it was only Christmas
that I received a long letter and a
picture of his baby from Plank with
best wishes from himself and fam
ily."
Name on Players' List
While the St. Ix>uis manager did
not mention that Plank had express
ed a willingness to rejoin the club
the inference is plain. Plank's name
is found in Jones' list of pitchers
and Eddie wrote him a long letter
less than a month ago. It is unlikely
that Plank would fall to mention his
plans for 1918 In a long letter to
his manager, and since the Browns
will welcome his return It Is safe to
assume that he is coming back to
the club. His last game before leav
ing the Browns last summer was a
1-0 duel, which he lost to Walter
Johnson, so there is no reason to
believe that he is through as a ma
jor leaguer.

During the last season Stewart
won many honors at the traps. He
had entered the big tournament at
Pinehurst, N. C„ but his Illness made
the trip impossible. This leaves
Harrisburg without a representative
this year in the south.

Willard Defies Sheriff,
Hides on Second Story;
Call in Four Deputies
Chicago, Jan. 21.—Jess Willard,
heavyweight champion, was besieged
in his home by a sheriff seeking to
serve a summons in a suit brought
by the fighter's former manager.
Going to tho second etory of his
home, Willard for three hours re
fused to answer the taunts and jeers
of the sheriff, who, becoming tired at
length, called in four deputies. "My
men will stay until Willard comes
down or jumps out of a window,"
declared the sheriff.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Willard telephoned
to the police, who refused to interfere
when they heard the cause of the dis
pute, and the sheriff's deputies re

Monday holidays will not hurt bas

other busy weeH for local tossers.

Baseball Franchise Value
Takes an Awful Slide;
Is Now Worth One Dollar
Portland, Ore, Jan. 21.—Just two
years ago Judge William Wallace Mc-
Credie, owner of the Portland fran
chise In the Pacific Coast League,
was offered *150,000 for his baseball
holdings. McCredle refused to Bell.
After that lie couldn't sell. No one
wanted a baseball franchise.
About four weeks ago the coast
league met and voted the portly judge
out of the league and announced that
Sacramento would pay $20,000 for his
fianchise. The days wore on, and the
judge didn't get his $20,000.
Recently the word came from San
Francisco that the Portland Jurist
would get a pleasant smile and the
customary legal tender of $1 for his
franchise, but would be allowed to
keep his players.
When Elks Smell Powder
They Hunt Hiding Place
Altoona, Pa., Jan. 21.—1t was quite
easy for the State Game Commission
to order the Blair county herd of elk
killed, because farmers had com
plained that the animals were dam
aging their cropa, but It was another
thing to superintend the execution.
The herd Is still alive, and It will re
main so, at least for the balance of
the wlnteer.
State Gam* Protectors K. Woody
Kelly, of DuBols; Baum, of Harrls
burg, and Batchler. of Bellefonte, del
egated as executioners, accompanied
by liem C. Ale, of Bellwood, plowed
through the snowdrifts and braved
the Icy blasts of mountain cove and
gap for two days this week In search
of their prey, but their labor was
fruitless.
The herd has mysteriously disapJ
peared, driven back into the timber
land and now guarded well by snow
and ice. Warden Kelly asked Harris
burg for instructions and the wardens
v/ere ordered home. Kelly says the
very farmers who complained about
the herd now want the elk pre
served.
