HARRISBURG
MAN VICTIM OF
HUNTORPEDO
William O. Winters Dies on
the High Seas, Serving
in U. S.' Navy
"When my husband .came to mc
more than a year ago and said:
'Mame, what would you do if you
were a man?" I said: 'Billy boy, I
would enlist right away.' If we all
keep our men here who will win the
war and save us from Germany?' ]
And so he volunteered to tight for [
his country and sailed away almost |
one year ago to the day, and now."
the young wife's agonized eyes
moistened," the Navy Department j
notifies me that my boy is missing; I
murdered by a Hun torpedo.
A small group of neighbors list- ]
ened solemnly in front of the peace- j
ful, cozy little house at 1911 j
Moltke street, where Mrs. Mary Win- j
ers to-day verified the brief news- ]
paper dispatch which gives the name j
of William Otto Winters as missing j
from the U. S. steamer Buenaven
tura, submarined September 16 off I
the coast of Spain.
The government information was
little more complete, saying: "Bu
reau deeply regrets to inform you
the name of your husband. William
Otto Winters, watertender U. S.,
N.. appears on list of missing from
U. S. S. Buenaventura, which sank
September 16. If further informa
tion is received you will be prompt
ly advised."
In the neat little parlor hung an
.enlarged photograph of Hero Win
ters. for this brave Harrisburg man
had served his four years in Uncle
Sam's Navy, having an honorable
discharge. Settling down here after
this he joined the Pipe Bending
forces and was active in helping to
build the big plant. His work was
in the bottling department and he
had a wide acquaintance among the
workmen who knew him for a gen
uine American patriot.
"You wouldn't want me to wait
until I am drafted." he appealed to
me, related Mrs. Winters sobbingly
and yet proudly. "Your old 1 nele j
Sam needs all us boys who have i
been in his service, and X just got to j
go." Oh. I am so proud of him,' ;
she repeated over and over again. :
and then with some bitterness: j
"When I see dozens of young men
who made every excuse to get out
of service, although they were not
married. I think of my husband,
who so gladly volunteered. And. oh
I hope God may save him yet. If I i
could only know! If I could only j
know!" , I
Mrs. Winters and her hero nus- l
band had not been married very |
long and*were ideally happy. Sent f
for some months to the Philadel- I
phia Navy yards. Winters was as- I
signed to the job of watertender
and sailed from New York on his .
first voyage. August 12. His wife
heard from him as he departed and |
had a card from him when he ,
landed in France. He expected to be j
home this very week on leave of
absence. The Buenaventura was on j
flier return trip when torpedoed.

Take Cathedral Position;
Was Educated in Rome
Joseph R. Brodeur, for the past
three years organist and choirmas- 1
ter at Notre Dame Church, Wor
cester, Mass., will take the position |
of organist and music director at St. j
Patrick's Cathedral here in several ]
weeks. He is to succeed John El
sheid, who is now serving in the j
army service.
Widelv known as a musician of i
exceptional ability, Mr. Brodeur has |
attracted much attention in musical !
circles of the East. He received his j
musical education in Rome. Com
menting on liis work in .Worcester. !
the Kreft News Bureau says: "His :
artistic playing won much notice for
the various programs given, as well ,

"Mixed Ale" Marty Weeps
at Prospects of Dry Town
New York. —He sat alone- on a
! bench in City Hall Park yesterday,
J a picture of unkempt and penniless
I age and grief. The chemistry of
j uncounted years had turned his bat
| tercd derby green. His clothing,
i rent, patched and frayed, huddled in
| unseemly bulges and wrinkles. Be
| tween the down-tipped brim of his
I hat and r.urned-up lapels of his coat
j only his nose and a bit of mustache!
peeped forth. The nose was an un-
I wholesome red, the mustache a yel
' lowish white.
He was "Mixed Ale" Marty Dona
hue, ex-Bowery bouncer, and the
bleared eyes which the hatbrim con
cealed were contemplating with wat
ery gaze a newspaper retrieved from
a trash can, which announced ihat
the country was going dry in nine
months. The muttering lips of
"Mixed Ale" Marty were pronounc
ing the doom of the world, and his
eyes, the cnlv aqueous feature in his
ajcoholic ensemble, were oozing
tears.
" 'Tis the end of the world." said
"Mixed Ale" Marty, in tones of
gloomy conviction. "I knew 'twas
eomin', but to think I should live to
! see it wit' the eyes of Marty Dona
| hue!"
Marty Doesn't Work oi; Sunday i
It was Marty's day off. On week
| days he sings in the park in a voice
! that has cracked beneath the weight
of seventy-eight years and is husky
with prolonged and overliberal lu
' brieation, holding his hat for the
: pennies and nickels which are gen
-1 erally to he had from the casual
\ lunch-hour crowd. Marty's own pre
! Lexow world came to an end long
] ago, but Marty has refused to rec
| ognize the fact and was mourning
yesterday over the approach of a
' fact long accomplished.
! But before "Mixed Ale" Marty
| Donahue became an anachronism
. preserved in alcohol he lived by his
I wits in the world whose sun was a
; red-globed light. In "Fatty" Flynn's
| dance hall at 34 Bond street, Marty
. Donahue was the genial accelerator
| of speeding dollars who circulated
j among the clientele telling stories,
| flinging personal quips and slapping
the shoulders of the visitors.
"You had tc josh 'em an' some
times you had to shame 'em into
buyin'," Marty quavered yesterday.
"You had to keep 'em buyin'; 'Fatty'
Flynn wasn't in business for his
health an' he hated to see the glasses
i idle."
Marty found broader opportuni
ties at the Golden Horn. East Thir-
teenth street, than under the rest
less eye ot "Fatty" Flynn. He was
"floor manager" at the Golden Horn,
a position which in lesser palaces
was dignified merely by the title
"bouncer." But the "floor man
ager" at the Golden Horn had cer
tain golden perquisites.
It was known as a resort of
"toughs" and sightseers in New York
thronged it nightly for the thrills of
danger the adventure afforded them.
The "toughs" were professional spec
imens for the most part and
slouched in singly or in pairs for the
benefit of each arriving party. They
