DEFAMER OF RED CROSS IS JAILED FOR HIS ATTACK Youth Held For Court When He Lies About Great War Work Irving Tashman, an employe of the aviation plant at Middletown. who was arrested by federal authorities yesterday, is now in the Dauphin county jail awaiting a hearing on the charge of attempting to obstruct the securing ot subscriptions for the Red Cross and making defamatory remarks about the Red Cross. It is c. rged that the remarks credited to Tashman were made at the store of D. YofTa, where he was purchasing a pair of shoes, when Irving E. Robinson, a Red Cross so licitor. asked Voffa for a contribu tion. / ' Don't you do it." and "Don't con tribute anything, the funds never reach the Red Cross and nothing is ever done with the money; it's all a fake and a humbug." are two of the remarks Tashman is alleged to have made when the solicitor asked Toffa for a contribution. It is said he told the solicitor that "you fellows get all the money." The man was arrested by Deputy Marshal Harvey T. Smith. United States Marshal Magee. of Scranton, was present at the hearing before United States Commissioner Wolfe. At first the young man took his ar rest as a joke, but when he was held for United States court, in Williams port, June 3, in default of $2,000 bail, he broke down and begged the chance to apologize and be released. Tashman is IS years old and claims Brooklyn, N. Y„ as his home. He has been working at Middletown for some time. Odd Fellows Will Meet at Johnstown; No German in Degrees Reading. Pa..

WINDMILL HAS CREPE ON ITS SAILS TODAY [Continued From First Page.] the menace in the Bonniwell cam paign and passed up the Philadel phia municipal court judge as "not a serious contender" for the guber natorial nomination. The men went about the Market Square windmill with slow tread while overhead the arms creaked dolefully, soulfully, the sails banded with crepe as dark as the hopes of the leaders in whose political skill President Wilson had placed so much trust, and so many jobs. Not only was Joseph F. Guf fev beaten for the Democratic nom ination for Governor, for which he had been measured and fitted, but rumors are that the Bonniwell vic tory may mean loss of control of the State Democratic Committee and leave the bosses with no place to go. Everyone who followed state poli tics has been expecting to see the Palmer-McCormick crowd "get theirs" in the slang of the day. but that it should come in a primary when they had everything their own way .apparently, makes the surprise all the greater. And what is stinging the men about the windmill is that Congressman Arthur G. Dewalt, who was once thrown out as state chair man. and Congressman Henry J. Steele, whom Palmer personally did all in his power to defeat, were re nominated against all the reorgan ization horses and all the President's men. YanDyke Not Alarmed Warren YanDyke, secretary of the Democratic state committee, who I has conceded that Bonniwell has been nominated by about 5.000, said to-day that he did not think that Bonniwell's victory would imperil the control of the Democratic state com mittee, which is now dominated by ! the Palmer-McCormick people. "In | man" districts men who hjive been | aligned with us were unopposed," I said he. "Districts where Bonniwell j ran the heaviest, elected men friend | ly to us, in many cases without op | position and in places where there were contests I understand we won. Considering the men who were not | opposed I think the state committee ! is in safe hands." The Republican state committee j will be harmonious and stalwart and i re-elect State Chairman W. E. Crow ; if he agrees to run again.' People at the state Democratic headquarters declared to-day that the majority for Judge Bonniwell would not run over 5,000. Mr. Yan : Dyke said that telegrams he had been j receiving indicated that Bonniwell i would be lucky if he got 5,000. "We have been getting messages which i indicate that Bonniwell in some counties claimed for him got very j small majorities," said he. ; Mr. YanDyke said that he did not have any doubt about the nomina , tion of J. Washington Logue, of Philadelphia, for second place. Coun ties he said were showing good votes [ for Logue and as he had a good ma , jority to start with in Philadelphia, ; he thought he would be safe in sec -1 ond place. Howard O. Holstein, Lo gue's rival, said he had no figures at i hand. } The greatest interest is being manifested here in the Houck-Wood ward contest and Capitol Hill people, who had no comfort in the rest of [the Republican "contest, were keen i about the Secretary of Internal Af fairs fight. ' I The O'Neil headquarters to-day .said that no word had come from j Mr. O'Neil, who Is at McKeesport j and is not expected here until next , week. Governor SUent 1 Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh, . who was at the Capitol for the first time since he had his historic meet | ing at which he told heads of de j partments or their representatives that he wanted them to turn in for \ O'Neil, declined to make any com ; ment upon the defeat of the high i way commissioner. The Governor I sent word that he had nothing to ! say. When inquiry was made as to the appointment of Supreme Court jus tices and public service commission ers and health commissioners, the same reply was made. However, it is expected that the appointment of Alexander Simpson, Jr., will be an | nounced before many hours go by. The opinion prevails at the Cap j itol that the Governor will not name a Democrat to the Mestrezat vacancy ! but that he will turn to Western Pennsylvania for a justice. As the I appointments are only good until January and the appointees will have to contest in a race which will be open to any one, it is thought that there will be some time taken before making the second appointment. * Friends of C. Laßue Munson, of Williamsport, candidate for Supreme Court in 1909 against Justice Yon Moschisker, who were here recenUy in interest of his appointment to the bench, are understood to be planning to send nomination papers out for him. Friends of Judge John D. Evans, of Pittsburgh, are strongly urging him for the place and en dorsements have come here for Judge . Joseph W. Bouton, of Mc- Kean county. There have also been men urging Judge George Kunkel, of Dauphin county, while prominent Democrats have interested them i selves in behalf of Judge Gustave A. of Reading. The Capitol was very quiet to-day and there were no signs of reprisals on men whose counties went against the Governor's wishes, which leads to the belief that there will be no strenuous doings. One deterrent ► would be that men named would have only a brief tenure and men re placed would likely go back next year. 186 NAMES ARE ON LIST FROM THE FIGHTING ZONE 37 Give Lives in Struggle With Huns For World Democracy By AsscctateJ Press WashitiKton.

STATE URGES THE j GROWING OF CORN; Money in Such a Crop, De clares Bulletin of the De partment of Agriculture . State official efTorts to increase the Pennsylvania corn crop are be ing made. "Corn will produce more food per acre than any other plant grown on American soil," says J. Aldus Herr. farm adviser of the De partment of Agriculture. "The average yield per acre is small com pared to what can actually be grown if proper care and attention is given the soil and crop. T>.3 corn plant, like many others, dojs best on soils well filled with humus for. if properly tilled, the soil will re tain the moisture later in the sea son when the plant nfeeds a large amount of water to develop the foliage and the ear. "The corn crop of 1917 was not j well owing to the lateness ' of the planting season and much of ! j the crop did not get a good start. ! , The result was —large quantities of i the corn was injured by frost, which I came unusually early, and the crop i did not mature. The corn was 'ate ; in curing or drying and much of the . seed was frozen, thus injuring Its . germinating qualities. Not for many years has there been such a deuiand for seed corn and good seed Is scarce. • "Many acres will be planted to | corn that will not make a good stand i of stalks, which means, finally, a | poor yield per acre and poor corn ; crop. This can partially be avoided i by carefully selecting your seed and ! testing especially if the corn had j been exposed to severe cold weather. Xext, good preparation of the soil before planting and do not plant too early. Fair seed that would not generate under poor conditions miaht make a good stand of stalks, if not planted while the soil is warm and then given good treatment. It is always best to plant corn adapted altitude and the length of the season between frosts. Many persons plant a variety of corn that requires 120 days for maturity when their growing season would not be over 90 days or 100 days. The re sult is the crop will not mature and the feeding value will be much re duced. "The last season was a very ex ceptional one to the growers of corn especially to those who do not take proper care of their seed, but much good may come of this disaster in warning farmers to give more at tention and better care to home grown seed which is generally bet ter than that bought at a distance." 14th Class Will Finish Teachers' Training Course in Tech High Auditorium Eleven girls will be graduated from the Teachers Training School connected with the Harrisburg public school system, after completing a two-year course, to-morrow evening, at 7:30 o'clock, in the Technical High School Auditorium.

Way Opens For Enlistment of Colored Men in Army: Chance For Advancement l An unexpected opportunity has I come to the qualified colored men of I Harrisburg and this vicinity to join j the Th,tee Hundred and Fifty-first I Heavy Field Artillery, Camp Meade, ! Maryland. While this news is of special interest to colored men of draft age. it is also welcome to those men who wished to Join the Army, being either over or under draft age, who have foand that only stevedore work was open to them- Lieutenant Harry King Tootle, assistant adjutant of this regiment, has arrived in Har risburg to handle these special induc tions. With him is Private Forrest Marshall, a Harrisburg boy. who has a responsible position in the sanitary detachment of the regiment. An office has been established in the drugstore of William E. Marshall, 629 Boas street, where colored men are being considered every weekday even ing after 7:30. A Sunday hour is to be announced later. The men desired for the regiment are those who have had at least a high school education or its equivalent. In special cases, men who have not finished high school will also be taken. In addition to these men who have the necessary education, the regiment is in great need of chauffeurs and motorcycle riders. Any colored man who is able to drive a car is eligible for service. The regiment is motorized and needs 285 chauffeurs. "This is a splendid opportunity for men of draft age." said Lieutenant Tootle this morning. "It enables men who are qualified to enter the highest branch of the service. If they wait for the draft, there is no telling where they will be placed, and conditions are such that in all likelihood they will be in a stevedore regiment or service battalion. Of course, it is unfortu nate for a man who has a certain amount of education to be forced to do such work. We can take such a man in artillery, give him a fine op portunity to qualify as a noncommis sioned officer —and. perhaps, go to the officers training school. Whereas, he would be lost in the general mass were he to be merely loading ships or building roads. "It is my present plan to be here only a few days, and men who wish to be considered for the regiment should call immediately."

Starvation and Disease Rampant in War-Torn Europe, Hoover Asserts By Associated Press \cjr York, May 23.—The greatest j human decimation in Europe has not j been wrought by German bullets but i by starvation and its attendant dis eases in the districts over-run by the German military power, declared Food Administrator Hoover in an address to the National Dairy League! here to-day. Pointing out the service j which the dairy men of the nation "are morally drafted to fulfill." he j said he was convinced that "if the war were to cease to-morrow, the toll of actual dead from starvation! and its attendant diseases would; double or treble the five million or fix million killed by Germany and her allies." Calling upon dairymen to do their part in maintaining the United States and a "reservoir of food." Mr. Hoover said: "It is worse than folly to put five million of our boys into France if the civilian population of our allies is not also to be maintained in strength and morale with our food." "North America," Mr. Hoover con tinued, "stands unequalled in one groat particular. We are independ ent of sea transportation for feeding stuffs for our animals. We grow them side by side. This is one reason why we can and must be the great final reservoir of supplies."
