MYSTERY IN CAMP DEATH Soldier Reported to Have Been Drowned at Charlotte Believed Murdered Gettysburg, Pa.. Jan. 31.—Al though it is likely that It will never be definitely known as a fact, It is the belief of the home folks that Earl Myers, of McSherrystown. a private in *the Fifth Machine Gun Battalion at Camp Greene, Charlotte, North Carolina, was. murdered and not accidentally drowned, as re ported. Maiks on different parts of the body, together with the death certillcate attached to the casket in which the body was shipped home, aroused suspicion and leads to tne belief that the boy met with foul play and tho body was afterward thrown into the water. The parents, however, refused to allow an lmes tlgatlon to be made. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH 20 Are Killed When Germans Raid Paris; Reprisal, Teutons Say Pi Associated Press Paris, Jan. 31. —German airplanes! raided Paris last night. The alarm j was given at 11.30 o'clock. Bombs! were thrown at various points ln| Paris and suburbs. Twenty persons were killed and l fifty wounded In last night's air raid, It Is unnounced offifflclally. One of the German machines which raided Paris was brought down. The occupants of the air plane were made prisoners. The raid lasted about two hours. The night was mild and clear a.r>d | the moon was brilliant. The streets; of the city were soon tilled with crowds of curious persons, who j watched the raiders and iheir, French antagonists circling above j ;>.nd swooping down now and then., At intervals bursts of machine gun i tire were heard. The French airplanes carried 1 I right lights so that the gunners j manning the ground defenses could j distinguish them. The German avia- 1 tors signalled each other with rapid i flashes. Explosions of shells and bombs i continued intermittently lor two j hours and then gradually aied away.

Prof. Decevee's Suggestion Shortly before his death the latej Professor E J. Decevee suggested i free organ recitals at Fahnestock Hall in the Y. M. C. A. building, at, Second and Locust streets. It wasj the thought of this lamented leader! :n the music circles of the city that i hundreds of men. women and ehil-i dren would be glad to drop into Fah-j nestock Hall at the noon hour toj lister, to an organ recital by one | cf the talented organists of Harris-j burg and elsewhere. His suggestion was to invite all of the organists of Harrisburg to co-1 operate with the Y. M. C. A. In the proposed noon recitals which should : be free to the people. Many men: ar.d women would probably be de-1 'ighted to have an opportunity to; hear good music in a comfortable j place during the noon hour and it is believed the organists of Harris burg will be glad to organize an as sociation for these recitals. Whether they should be given more than once a week would depend upon their appreciation by the pub lic, hut it is the opinion of those who are familiar with organ recitals in other cities that the plan mlghti be worked out with the general ap probation of the community. Roofs Ruined by Snow and Ice Are Cause of Much Property Damage Thousands of dollars have been lost in the amount of property dam aged within the last few days be cause of the melting snow seeping: [through roofs, tinsmiths and roof j builders estimated to-day. So many calls for immediate help J have come from householders whose ceilings are falling because of the leaking water that the tinners have been swamped. One dealer In roofing to-day declared that unless there is a sudden thaw sufficient to carry away the great accumulation of ice and snow, fully 50 per cent, of the homes in the city will be damaged I before spring. Icicles hanging from oopings and spoutings have nplped open places for the entry of the water, it is said. Then, too, virtually all tin roofs have been greatly weakened by the weight of the snow and ice on them for many weeks. The tee also prevents the water from running off freely.
