come to Newport News. These men I
are from the 109 th machine gun hat- I
talion, the 1.89 th Infantry and the!
128 th machine gun company.
Parade Plans Unsettled
A report that Company 1 of the!
old Eighth Regiment, another unit!
of Harrisburg men, was aboard the'
Pocahontas, which is scheduled to!
land at Newport News one week
from to-morrow, is not borne out by
dispatches received in this city.'
Old Company D is the only one of |
the three local units that is known!
to have sailed, it being aboard the
Mercury, which will reach Newport
News on May 4. It is known that
the old Governor's Troop, now a
unit of the one Hundred and Eighth:
Field Artillery, has not yet taken
passage for the home voyage.
The AdJutajit General's office is
unable to-day to give information
as to the units which have sailed
for home. Adjutant General Beary
is in Washington to-day and no
definite information from the Penn
sylvania department will be avail
able to-day.
Plans for the parade of the divi
sion in Philadelphia are anything
but settled, reports from that city i
say. The manner in which the;
members of the division are being!
distributed among Army camps of i
fourteen States, instead of being
concentrated in any one camp,!
would appear to indicate that, it!
will be impossible to have a full di-|
visional parade in the Quaker City. I
SHAKER I'LIEs
Adjutant Walter Shafer, the Dau

FIUME CANNOT BECOME PART OF
ITALY, S4YS WILSON; ORLANDO IS
READY TO LEAVE PEACE COUNCIL
Latins Insist
Upon Treaty
of London
WILSON HOLDS
OUT FOR SLAV
Earlier Signs at
Paris Indicated
Concessions
By Associated Press•
Paris, April 23.—Premier
Orlando threatens to re
turn to Italy to-day unless
there is a satisfactory ad
justment of the Fiume and
Dalmatian questions. Prem
ier Lloyd George, of Great
Britain, is trying to per
suade the Italian leader to
remain in Paris longer
while he continues his ef
forts to reconcile the op
posing- viewpoints.
In a statement issued by
President Wilson to-day ex
plaining his position on the
Adriatic question he declares
that Fiume cannot become a
part of Italy. The President
points out that every condi
tion concerning the Adriatic
settlement has been changed
since Italy entered the war
upon the promises of the pact
of London, the Austro-Hun
garian empire having disap
peared. He notes that new
states have been created for
which Fiume is the natural
outlet to the sea. The Presi
dent also contends that the
strategic necessity pleaded in
behalf of Italy's claim to the
Dalmatian islands no longer
prevails, as the Austrian na
val menace has ceased to ex
ist.
I lie Latin delegation to the
I'eace Conference reasserted its
determination to stand firm on
the question of Fiume, indicat
ing that unless the Council
changed its position the delega
tion would not return to the
conference.
An early settlement of the
difficulty is consequently
thought to lie improbable, espe
cially as President Wilson is
understood to lie equally as firm
as the Italian representatives.
With Premier Orlando still
absent. Premiers Clcmenceau
and Lloyd George and President
Wilson resumed this morning
the consideration of questions
concerning China and Japan.
Facts of Deadlock
The facts of the deadlock over the
Italian claims in the Adriatic, ac
cording to the Petit I'arisien, are as
follows:
President Wilson proposed that
Fiume, which is not mentioned in
the Treaty of 'London, should lie a
free city, but attached to the Jugo
Slav customs system and, further,
that the London Treaty should be
subjected to a total revision.
Italy refused to accept this pro
posal, whereupon President Wilson
withdrew, leaving Italy alone with
the representatives of the other sig
natories of the treaty. During the
meetings of the representatives of the
signatories, both Premier Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino were
most conciliatory, Orlando, especial
ly, having asked repeatedly on what
condition France and Great Britian
would consent to give Fiume to Italy,
Baron Sonnino said he was ready to
discuss a revision of the London
Treaty.
Wilson Keeps in Touch
However, President Wilson, who,
while he was not present at the
meetings, kept in touch with them,
then wanted to reopen the question
of the Treaty of London, but with
out joining the revision to the fate
of Fiume. The President has reced
ed from his first proposal to make
Fiume a free city and is inclined to
givo'it absolutely to the Jugo-Slavs.
As to Premiers Clemeneeau and
Lloyd George, they are understood to
be rcadv to adhere purely and simply
to the Treaty of London, at the same
time seeking means of conciliation.
Although the peace conferees in
Peris have parsed nlong for future
adjustment the Japanese problem,
one of the two troublesome questions
standing In the way of the final
shsning or the peace treaty, the
Italian difficulty was still pressing

DRUG ADDICTS
ROB DRUG STORE
TO GET NARCOTICS
Police Believe Arrests of Ped
dlers Is Responsible
For Crime
That Harrisburg "dope" users are
becoming desperate to secure their
accustomed supply of drugs, is the
impression created among police au
thorities by the theft of between sls
and S2O worth of narcotics of various
kinds from the drug store of Dr.
John 11. Garland, Sixth and Muench
streets, early this morning.
Police are convinced that the ilieft
was committed by drug addicts who
have been experiencing difficulty in
securing morphine, cocaine, heroin
and other narcotics to fill their needs
since the alleged leaders of t lie
"dope" ring have been taken into
custody and are now either serving
sentences or are awaiting trial.
The persons who committed last
evening's theft gained access to the
store by forcing screws from the out
side lock of the cellar door and after
gaining admission to it. by forcing
a trap door between the cellar nnd
the store room. Tu addition to the
narcotics, about 150 pennies were
taken.
Eight-Year-Old Girl
Placed on Stand to
Testify Against Mother
Eight-year-old Evelyn Hays was j
called as a witness in divorce ac- j
l ion brought by her father, Oar- I
ence Hays, against Mrs. Hebecea 1
S. Hays, in which John Hoke was
named as co-respondent. The child
testified in court yesterday after
noon that she had seen Hoke and
her mother together. Neighbors who
testified said that Iloke went to the ,
Hays home 011 a number of occa- j
sions after Mr. Hays had gone to :
work. The divorce action was con- I
tested by Mrs. Hays, who took the |
stand and denied charges made j
aguinst her. Hoke also was called j
and denied the statements made by i
neighbors. Counsel for both parties
will argue the case, probably next j
Tuesday.
A divorce decree was granted in
the case of ltelvln H. vs. EHsle Mc-j
Farland, John McFarland being j
named as co-respondent.
Louis G. Baltimore Is
Named City Forester
Appointment of Louis G. Haiti- i
more, 1115 Market street, as city'
forester, was announced to-day at i
the offices of the city park depart- ;
ment. His name will be submitted j
to Council for confirmation at a !
meeting in the near future by Com- !
missioner E. 55. Gross, it is under-1
stoari.
Mr. Baltimore is a graduate of
State College, class of 1918, and I
since that time until recently has ]
been in the employ of the Interna- 1
tional Paper Company, a firm manu
facturing paper in large quantities.
Mr. Baltimore was located in flic
Adirondacks in New Vork State for '
the paper firm, locating trees to be
used for wood pulp, part of the ma- '
to rial used to manufacture paper.
A number of cases of tree butch- !
er.v reported to the department will |
be investigated by him, after which
it is likely the tree census which
ws started a few years ago will be ,
crmplete/1. This lias been delayed
I reuse of the failure to appoint u
i| 4 ester in 1917 or 1918.

Picture Found Behind
Battleline Identified as
Property of Simon Lutz
"Ting-a-ling-a-ling-a - ling," rang
the Telegraph's phone yesterday af
ternoon while the paper was hot
front the press.
"Say, is that the Telegraph?" came
a voice, "that picture on your front
page of a girl and a man in a boat is
Simon Lutz. I mean the man is—
-1 don't know the girl."
Soon there was an investigation,
which proved that the photograph
shown last evening, found in the sal
vage heaps of France, back of ttie
battleline, was really taken in Har
risburg.
The man in the canoe is Simon J.
Lutz, son of Harry S. Lutz, a plum
ber of 211 Vcrbeke street. Every
one who enjoys water sports knows
him and his canoe of silver gray with
its broad band of blue, and black
gunwales. Simon Lutz left here in
September, litis, and after spending
three weeks at Camp Wudswortli,
South Carolina, went overseas with
the Fourth Corps, Field Artillery, lie
was located in Coblenz for some time
and at Easter a card stated lie was
in Lonnig for a while.
This morning the photograph
which had traveled 6,000 miles to
France and home again, and was
found by another Hurrisburg boy.
Sergeant Lin wood Wanbaugh, was
given to Mrs. Leon Lingle, of Boas
street, a sister of Simon Lutz with
whom he made his home for two
years prior to entering the service.
HUNS THROW SHIP
FOREMAN IN SEA;
THEN PLAY CARDS
By .Associated Press,
London, April 23. —German la
borers in the shipyards at Dan
zig, where American food ships
are. being overhauled, are becom
ing so imbued with Bolshevism
that the American Navy prob
ably will abandon ahy attempt to
do the repair work there. Re
ports received in London say that
the workers arc getting entirely
out of control.
In one instance a foreman In
charge of work on an American
ship broke up a card game
among the workers and ordered
them buck to their jobs. The
workers threw the foreman
overboard and continued the
card game, leaving it to others to
rescue the foreman from the
water.
WOMAN NOT SURE
jABOUT HUSBAND'S
DEATH REWEDS
i Could Not Withstand Wooing
of Baltimore Man. Now
Held by Police
"Really, I couldn't say whether
my lirst husband is still alive or not,"
said Anna B. Sioane, of Marys
ville, this morning in telling of her
marriage to Vernon B. Sipple, who
is being held awaiting the arrival of
Baltimore officers who are to take
him back to the Maryland city to
answer charges of deserting his wife
and children and failure to main
tain them.
Met liini in Baltimore
"I met him in Baltimore," she
told Chief of Police Wetzel. "He
came to Marysville end asked me to
marry him, but 1 told him 1 had lost
faith in all men; besides, i wasn't
sure, although 1 was told, that my
husband was dead. He said all men
weren't alike and then I consented."
The knot was tied by the Rev. S. B.
Bidlack. It developed that the wo
man. who is about 26 years old, had
lived with her first husband ten
days. Then he disappeared. That
was four years ago. He, too. had
another wife, the police were told
to-day.
Sipple, who is an electrician, was
taken from a job he was work
ing on in Seneca street yesterday
afternoon at the instance of the Bal
timore police, who sent word that
he was wanted in that city for de
sertion and maintenance. The po
lice are of the opinion that Sipple,
while playing ball In Baltimore, mar
ried the woman who has sued him
for the support of herself and little
ones. Sipple once had been a base
ball umpire and recently was an ap
plicant for a position in the Dau
phin-Perry League.

STRIKE IS CALLED
FOR WAGE INCREASE
BY UNION PAINTERS
Men Ask Sixty-two and a-Half Cents an
Hour Instead of Fifty, Saying Trade
Is Poorest of Skilled Labor
CONTRACTORS SAY WORK WILL
BE DELAYED BY HIGHER COST
Approximately 140 members of the Painters', Decorators' and
I aperhangers' Lnion. No. 411. affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor, went on strike here at 8 o'clock this morning,
with the object of securing a wrlgc increase from 50 cents to 62Yt
cents an hour.
I he strike was called last night at a meeting in the Labor Hall
when it was reported that communications addressed to their em
ployers, the Master Painters' Association, had not been answered
and that the contractors had refused to compromise.
Cite I,ow Scute
"Tlie reason why we want this
increase is because of the increase
In the cost of living," saiil President
H. C. Kutz. He cited instances
where the rent of the members had
been increased and said it is neces
sary to get the wage increase in or
der to keep up with the times.
"The members of fhis craft are the
poorest paid in the building trades,"
the president told a Telegraph re
porter this morning, "and they have
been this ever since the war
started."
"Yes, for the last twenty years,"
interrupted a striker.
"For the past sixty-live years,"
added a gray-haired worker stand
ing by.

"i'.csidcs the living cost there are
l/berty Ponds. We must have
money to buy bonds," continued the
official. "Our local union lias in
vested a large part of its treasury
in the various government loans
and our members have paid for
their bonds. We want more money
to buy more bonds."
Acording to the strikers, when
their contracts expired April 1, they
approached the Master Painters
with a request for increase in
wages. The request was ignored.
