"The boxes will be unveiled at the

have been erected at the expense of
the Rotary Club of Harrisburg and

ned to have them renewed next year.
Friends and relatives of soldiers,
sailors and marines who died in the

Rotarians will assemble at 5.15 at
the center of the bridge at the place
where the Cameron street approach
joins the bridge proper, where the

"The club's idea in having the
boxes placed was to provide a fitting
Memorial Day testimonial of Har
risburg's appreciation of the sacri
fice the men made who died in the
war, and to have a material memor
ial especially for those who lie buried
in France where their graves can
not be marked on Decoration Day
either by the customary flag or
flowers. The public is invited to the
ceremony.
There will be community singing
and other music. The exercises were
arranged for Memorial Day eve so
as not to interfere in any way with
the customary services and observ
ances of the Grand Army on Memor

Rome, May 28.—Octoganarians
of both sexes participate every
day in Rome in spirited melees
for fresh butter. The fights oc
cur at 6 o'clock each morning
and 7 each evening.
Butter is so scarce in Rome that
when any is put on sale at a
creamery the place is stormed by
buyers. Aged men and women,
girls, boys, persons of all ages,
engage in a scramble for it.
Women have part of their cloth
ing torn off and scream from pain
in the pressure of the mob. They
emerge with disheveled hair and
raging countenances, tirey mad at
the roughness of the others. If
a woman is successful she re
ceives two ounces of butter for
which she pays thirty cents.

tons of marketable product. It was
explained that the company had dis
covered several new pockets of coal
since then that can be mined.
Mr. Sekol fixed the amount of coal
as yet unmined as 65,000,000 tons.
Of this figured that 60 per cent,
could be taken out and of that of
this 60 per cent, only 75 per cent,
would be placed on the market, leav
ing the final total of 29,000,000 tone
which he gave as his revised figure.
Mr. Sekol has spent two weeks on
[ the coal properties, studying acre
: age and tonnage. He will occupy
the coming week figuring on costs
of production, all factors considered,
and the price which the company
gets on the open market, in an ef
fort to find the actual valuations
of the company's holdings.
, It was said to-day that the com
! missioners and the company are get

that the general bill could be passed
as quickly as the emergency meas
ure.
The Philadelphia charter bill, which
was reported front the House Munici
pal Corporation Committc yesterday,
with amendments, was sent back to
the committee "for amendment" as
soon as passed on first reading; in
the House to-day. Mr. Glass, Phila
delphia, made the motion, which was
not objected to.
Protests Heard
Protests against the progress of
legislation in the General Assembly
and demands for development of a
legislative program to be carried out
as rapidly as possible were voiced in
the House to-day by several mem
bers. The speakers declared that
their hopes of the "short business
session" based on inaugural and oth
er speeches had disappeared, and
charges that bills were being need
lessly held up were made.
Mr. Sliowalter, Union, rising to a
question of personal privilege, said
the Legislature had been "marking
time" for five months. "We have
passed an amount of very minor leg
islation and ench bill has cost the
State about $335. We were told there
would be a short business session.
We have been patiently waiting for
a legislative program. We are not
Informed as to what Is to come," said
he.
The Union county member said that
the Governor and Speaker had both
advocated short sessions and that if
there is a program now is the time
to bring It out. He said that the
members of the House were willing
to work, but were all at sea, without
information when adjournment will
come, anxious to cooperate with the
Senate, but not enjoying the con
dence of the Upper House. "Members
are expressing much dissatisfaction.
Let's Ket down to business. Let the
committees report out the important
legislation and let the rag time bills
die. Let us get down to work and
stop wasting time and funds," he
concluded.
Mr. Wallace, Lawrence, said he was
a long way from home and believed
the time had come when the Senate
should take the House into its con
fidence. The House, he declared was
being laughed at by citizens, and
while he did not advocate reprisals
"unless necessary," he asserted he
felt that the House should, be sup
ported in its efforts to accomplish
something.
Both Messrs. Showalter and Wal
lace said they appreciated the work
of Speaker Spangler and upheld his
insistence on a business program.
Mr. Dunn. Philadelphia, said less
work had been done than he had
kr.own in years, and feared more de
lay, with June 26 looming up as the
date of final adjournment.
Chairman Ramsey, of the Rules
Committee, said that the House had
kept up with the work outlined for
it and had promptly disposed of busi
ness handed to it. While there had
been hopes for adjournment in the
middle of May, it had been impossi
ble he felt that adjournment could
still be worked out June 19.
Mr. Wallace said that he realized
that important legislation affecting
cities and counties was pending, but
that the time to act upon it is at
hand. The Lawrence member said
that in a short time revenue, appro
priation and Senate bills would have
right of way in the House.
Third Term For Wilson
Hinges on League Fate,
Party Chairman Thinks
By Associated Press.
Chicago, May 28. President Wil
son's candidacy for a third term will
be determined largely by the fate of
the League of Nations, in the opinion
of Homer S. Cummings, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
who came to Chicago to-day to pre
side at a two days" session of that
body.
"While I have no information re
garding President Wilson's intentions
about becoming a candidate for a
third term, X believe that the ques
tion largely rests on the fate of the
League of Nations," said Chairman
Cummings. "If the league of Na
tions should by any chance be defeat
ed, and this to mind is unthinkable,
the pressure brought to bear on the
President to run again would be
very great, and I feel certain that he
would bo re-elected. If the League
of Nations Is successful, I do not
think the pressure would be nearly as
great."

MEET HERE TO I
DISCUSS NEW |
CONSTITUTION
Changes in Basic Law of the
Commonwealth Are
Proposed
Citizens from all'sections of Penn- j
syivania are meeting this afternoon j
ir.* the Penn-Harris Hotel for tho I
purpose of forming the "People's
Association of Pennsylvania," a non
partisan organization, which aims to
promote a revision of the State Con
stitution.
A formal dinner will be held at
6.45 o'clock at which time action
will be taker.- on the business of tho
afternoon. Prominent speakers will
be in attendance at this session, in
cluding William Draper Lewis, of
Philadelphia; A. Leo Weil, president
of the Pittsburgh Voter's League:
John A. Phillips, vice-president
State Federation of Labor; Gifford
Pinchot, William T. Creasy, of the
Pennsylvania Grange; George F.
Foss, general secretary of the Penn
sylvania State Chamber of Com
|merce, and Mrs. Edward W. Bid
die, past president of the State Fede
ration of Pennsylvania Women.
Plans for the organization of such
an association" were made following
the introduction in the Senate of the
bill establishing a commission to
study the subject of constitutional
revision.
The association proposes to unite
forces working for good government
in Pennsylvania, in permanent or
ganization in every county of the
State; to collect and disseminate in
formation regarding our present
system of State, county and local
government so that needs car. l be
presented to the Legislature and the
proposed constitutional convention;
to investigate and spread informa
tion coneernir.-g progressive methods
in use in other States in order that
the people may judge as to whether
or not they should be adopted in
Pennsylvania.
The purpose of to-day's meeting
is to make an effort to unite all ele
ments which favor constitutional re
vision in an organization to co-ope
rate with the Governor's Commis
sion. The People's Association will
be the clearing house through which
various bodies will come together for
discussion of desirable constitutional
changes. County committees are
formed over the State to study
local needs and find out what the
'people want in a new constitution.
The aims of the organization, as
stated in the call for the meeting
reads:
"The coming constitutional con
vention will recognize, among other
facts, that the laws and procedures
governing our State and counties are
u past generation, and contain de
fects lliat ear," l>e remedied only
through changes in fundamental
law. But unless we begin at once
to arouso interest in the affairs of
local government, there is grave
probability that the work of the con
vention will prove barren or that the
people will be unready to accept the
new proposals at the polls."
MITCHELL FALLS
VICTIM TO "DOPE"

and Monday. The two Mitchells,
herself and Alverda Williams, color,
ed, participated, she said. The Wil
liams woman was arrested later with
Abbie Smith. She is held by the po
lice until the result of the post
mortem on Mitchell's body is de
termined.
Released From Jail
Mitchell and his wife had been
released from the Dauphin county
jail on Sunday morning after com
pleting a thirty-day sentence on a
disorderly practice conviction. Short
ly after their release they went to
the Smith woman's rooms. The
"dope" party started almost imme
diately.
Riberal quantities of codtne, mor
phine and heroin were used. Mitchell
used all three of the drugs freely, it
is said, and it is believed that the
drugs were the cause of his col'apse.
Since he had been in jail for thirty
days, it is not believed he had re
ceived any drugs during that time.
There is a possibility that the drug
got into an artery.
Hold For Disorder
Mitchell and his wife had been ar
rested shortly after the robbery of
the drug store of John K. Garland,
Sixth and Muench streets, on a
charge of having been implicated.
At the trial, insufficient evidence
was produced to convict them, but
thev were sentenced on the disord
erly practice count.
Investigations following Mitchell's
death revealed several of the bottles
taken from the Garland store, po
lice say. Mitchell is also said to have
confessed to rqbbing the store, fol
lowing his discharge from jail on
Sunday.
The Mitchells are said to have
been married for ten years, part of
which time they lived at Stcelton.
His wife had been a confirmed ad
dict for years and following his re
turn here, he acquired the habit,
police say.
Taken in Raid
The Mitchel's and the Smith girl
were taken in the raid in which
leaders in the city "dope" traffic
were arrested several months ago.
All served as witnesses at the hear
ings In which seven of the ringi
leaders were held for court.

that there was slightly over $15,000
in the hands of the treasurer. J.
William Bowman, who, however,
will be on the Job to receive con
tributions until the end of the week I
and even after. In order to accom
modate many who are just getting
in touch with their offerings, the
headquarters at Gilbert's former
store in Market street will be kept
open until Saturday night and here
may be directed checks or cash.
Captain E. J. Stackpole, Jr., chair
man, explained for the information
of all contributors that it has been
impossible to give the full list, or
even a partial list, because of the
great number, and he asks that no
one feel slightfed at not being men
tioned in the co-operation which
has resulted in raising a fine sum
for permanent establishment of a
Salvation Army home here.
The doughnuts brought in over
$5,000 alone, and the town of Her
shey to-day sent a hurry call for
the local Salvation Army to prepare
a great quantity to be soldi at Her
shey on Decoration Day. Mrs. Cap
tain Neilson and her energetic help
ers. who won a SSO Liberty Bond for
turning in the greatest quantity, re
sponded merrily that Hershey would
get its doughnuts in time.
The workers have not ceased their
efforts yet and will be busy the rest
of the week, but the executive com
mittee feels satisfied that it made
good on the decision arrived at dur
ing the Saturday luncheon to gather
in $15,000 by Wednesday (to-day)
noon.
Lebanon county rang up head
quarters to say that the campaign,
as it was here, felt a handicap in
bad weather, but that the county
would come across with about $6.-
000. The Elks and a number of
fraternal organization were very
helpful, the Elks starting things
off with a check for $250. Gabriel
Moyer is Lebanon county chairman,
and he explained that doughnuts
wore not much in demand over
there, so the bulk of the funds will
come in through a canvass and
from industries. Perry county had
not made its report up to noon to
day.
