MYSTERY IN DEATH OF TYRONE BOY IN FRANCE Soldiers of Similar Names Set Town Guessing as to Which One Is Re ally Dead Ull Associated Press. Tyrone* April 24.—A peculiar cir cumstance has developed in Tyrone over the identity of a soldier who is reported as having died of disease In France. From Tyrone went forth John Glenn Koblnson and also John George Roblnsoq, and both went to France. Now the War Department records the death of John Glenn Robinson. Either the name has be come twisted in the government flies or an error has been made in the transmission of the message. The parents of John George were notified of the death of their son. But they have reason to believe that be is well, as they had a letter from BIG TRANSPORTS BRING ' MEN OF 28TH DIVISION [Continued from First Page.] to be oil the high seas are members of Companies 1) and I of the 112 th Infantry, formerly the Eighth Regi- j ment of the old Pennsylvania Na- | tional Guard. Others are with Com- j pany C, Eighth Regiment, the old I Chambersburg unit which was re- | cruited to full strength by the addi- j tion of men from Harrisburg and | surrounding community. Others are j scattered throughout other units: aboard the two ships, the Minne- J sota, Kroonland and others that are j now on their way home with units i of the Keystone Division. I Company 1 First Company I will he the first of the i local units to land, it being sched uled to disembark from the Poca hontas at Philadelphia next Thurs-: day. Companies D and C took pas sage on the transport Mercury which | is expected to reach home soil on May 4. The War Department's cable from General Pershing, lists file follow ing troops of the Keystone Division aboard these two transports in which Harrisburg is primarily interested: Pocahontas Detachment 109 th Machine Gun Battalion, four officers, j 50 men: 112 th Infantry Headquar ters, Medical Detachment, Head-j quarters Companies E.

Finney on Mercury Colonel Maurice E. Finney and his staff are aboard the Mercury. Colonel Finney is from this city as are a number of officers of his staff. War Department officials have no definite Information as to the pres ent location of the 108 th Field Ar tillery and the 103 rd Supply Train. The former unit includes many men from Harrisburg and surrounding territory, most of whom served with the Governor's Troop of the old Pennsylvania National Guard. Com pany A of the Supply Train is made up almost exclusively of men of this city. The War Department statement is taken by Adjutant General Beary to mean that the unit has either al ready gone aboard transports for home and have failed to get out of French waters as yet or are await ing at a port of embarkation in France. The situation as it pertains to the 108 th Field Artillery is true also of the 109 th Infantry, 110 th In fantry, the 53rd Artillery Brigade, Including the 107 th, 108 th and 109 th Field Artillery; the 103 rd Sanitary Train .the 103 rd Ammunition Train and the 103 rd Supply Train. Some Harrisburg men a.re in both the sanitary and ammunition units. Plan Big Reception While there is no definite assur ance that any of the local units will come home in a body, the Home Folks' Victory Association are never theless proceeding with their plans to provide a suitable reception for the men. A parade and luncheon are included among their tentative plans. Through the emphasis placed on the desirability of having as many troops of the Keystone. Division as possible land at Philadelphia, Gen eral Beary has succeeded in having at least 5,000 additional overseas veterans scheduled to land at that port. This considerably brightens the plans for the holding of a big victory pageant in honor of these men. New Pastor Plans to Give Series of Sermons In the Olivet Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Samuel A. Bower, will preach Sunday morning on "Go For ward," laying down the methods of church work and the lines of activ ity to be engaged in during the year. The work In Olivet Church is opening up nicely.

The first of hese sermons will be delivered Sunday evening at 7.30 o'clock on "Our National Founda tion." Coming so recently form our National Capitol, Rev.

TODD TO HE RETAINED The approval of the Crow bill by the Governor to-day abolishes the of fice of the executive controller. It Is understood, however, that Samuel C. Todd, who has veen executive con troller for eight years, will remain in the State Government. him dated but two days before he : was presumed to have died, and he j made no mention of the fact of bo- j ing sick. The parents of John Glenn have not heard from him for several months, and the conjecture is that this must be the one who has died, i No word has been received in the | meantime from either boy, so that j the parents are in doubt. Inquiry to Washington, brought j • the information, that John G. Robin- j sor was the one dead, so that the i tangle is worse than it was before. J Only the arrival of one or the other j boy will clear up the mystery as to i which one is dead. They reside , about live miles apart here. 1 Publishers Protest , ' Federal Action on , Print Paper Status \ Now York, /I pril 24.—A commit- j tee to prepare ft resolution protest- s ing against the attitude of the Fed- ' eral Trade Commission in regard to j the print paper situation was ap- ] pointed at the 33rd annual conven tion of the American Newspaper < Publishers' Association, which open- < ed here yesterday. 1 It is expected that labor ques- i tions, and also the question of postal ] rates and administration of the post I office department by Postmaster General Burleson will be discussed ] at to-day's session. i , Oak Extract Company ! Complains of Charges ; The Oak Extract Company, of Now- ' pert, to-day charged before the Pub lic Service Commission that the New- ' pert and Sherman's Valley Railroad had refused to make reparation for ' fieight charges after making a part 1 payment on the ground that the Com- 1 mission had no authority to set aside ' rates on narrow gauge railroads. ' The company complained that the 1 Perry county line had collected ad vanced rates after the Commission 1 had ordered it to desist, and had 1 agreed to pay back an overcharge of $1 795.44, but after paying $l5OO set up the contention that the commis sion was without authority and that it had no legal liability to pay the balance. The question of Federal control enters into the case. . The Lewlsburg, Milton and Wat- | sontown railway filed notice of an i increase of fares from six to seven i cents on three divisions. Angry Workmen Duck Two "Reds" in River ' Philadelphia. April 24.—Two 80l- I shevists who attempted to hold a mass meeting at noon yesterday at the new government pier, foot of Snyder avenue, were rushed by 1,000 workmen, dragged from a platform and marched to the end of the pier, where ropes were made fast around their necks. Only the pleading of the foremen I saved them from being lynched. Finally the men abandoned their plan of hanging the "Reds." but re fused to let them go unpunished. Instead of stringing the men up to the piling the ropes about their necks were lowered to their waists and as a score or more firsts found their marks the radicals were kicked over the side of the pier into the cold waters of the Delaware, twenty feet below.
