POSTMASTERS ARE
IN CONVENTION

country. Geographically no city in
the East is better situated; none
have the service which is such
an important factor in a conven
tion. Fifteen years of progress have
shown that Harrisburg is a city
which will take second place to
none in the matter of civic improve
ments. and when we look about us
and see the. wonderful things ac
complished in the last decade or so
we can truly be proud of it and
not be ashamed to extend the glad
hand to strangers and tell them that
the city is theirs. And that what
X do to you, ladies and gentlemen,
for the next two days Harrisburg
is yours, not ours. "Accept the keys
to its portals from me."
Start of Parcel Post
The Mayor also warmly com
mended the postmasters for their
patriotic and energetic devotion to
duty during the strenuous war
period. They deserve all manner
of eredit, he told them, and the
citizens of the State knew and ap
preciated that fact.
E. J. Staekpole, ex-postmaster
and former president of the asso
ciation. was the speaker for the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Staekpole complimented the
postmasters for their war efforts
and assured them that they main
tained the morale of the country
quite as much by their efforts as the
speakers for war work did by theirs.
By assuring communication with the
hoys overseas, said Mr. Staekpole,
the postal service kept up the
morale of the • Expeditionary Force
to a very considerable extent.
The former postmaster told sev
eral amusing stories in connection
with the introduction of the parcel
post system, which came just at the
time when he was leaving office af
ter a twelve-year occupancy.
Everything from brooms to babies
were coming through at that time
and the situation was rather hectic.
He severely scored the present
spirit of unrest in this country
which had insidiously crept in from
the unhealthy element of European
countries. The "against" spirit was
entirely too prevalent, said Mr.
Staekpole, and the postmasters of
this State can take a good part in
attempting to get rid of it. Opti
mism for better things ahead was
the watchword and the criticism of
persons, not officers, would assist, in
producing better things. He appeal
ed to the postmasters to crush the
unrest which was everywhere mani
festing itself. He also paid Mr.
Sites a high compliment on the
manner in which he lias conduct
ed the affairs of the postal depart
ment in Harrisburg. Mr. Staekpole
closed with wu*m weicome to the
visiting guests.
The President's Address
The closing address of the morn
ing session was made by Horace Leht,
ex-mayor of Easton, and at present
postmaster th'-rc and president of the
Association Mr. Lehr expressed his
appreciation on behalf of the Asro
ciation for the welcome which had
been extended by the Mayor and ?.l r .
Staekpole, and said that since they
were Republican representatives in
a Democratic convention, the welcome
must be sincere. Daughter and ap
plause greeted this statement.
He continued with an appreciation
of Harrisburg, and its new hotel,
which presented such increased ad
vantages for a convention crowd. Mr.
Sites was commended for the able way
in which he had arranged the details
of the convention. Mr. Lehr said he
thought that everyone appreciated
the difficulties of postal service dur
ing the war, and felt that the post
masters acquitted themselves most
creditably. Although the peril of war
is past the peril of radicalism is still
present and he agreed with Mr. Stuck
pole that the duty of postmusters
was to join in coping with this evil.
Mr. Lehr closed the morning ses
sion with the announcement of the
Resolutions Committee, which will be
composed of James Kingsbury, of
Pottivilie chairman, Charles R. t-'mith,
(juakcrtown and Cornelius Allen, Du
Bois. Mr. Lehr also announced that
the tour of the Capitol Building
which was to take place this morn
ing for the women ot the parly at 11
o'clock, had been postponed until 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Tour tlie City
The afternoon session which began
at 2 o'clock, included addresses by
William D. McGinnis, of Connelsvilie,
past president of the Pennsylvania
Postmasters' Association; George A.
Leonard, inspector ir charge, ot Phil
adelphia, who spoke on "Efficiency in
the Clry Delivery Service;" and John
A. Thornton, of Philadelphia, whose
subject was "A Resume of the Con
ference of Representatives of Busi
ness Organizations and the Postal
Service held in Washington, April 1-3,
1919."
The discussion of the afternoon in
cluded the topics considered at the
Washington conference. Later in the
afternoon the visitors with their
wives were taken on an automobile
ride through the parkways of the city
as guests of the Chamber of Com
merce.
This evening the reception at the
Federal Building will take place at
8 o'clock. All visiting postmasters
and their wives have been inviied to

Membern of the State Workmen's

BLAME FOR WAR

ter-proposals and a covering letter
reiterating that Austria had precipi
tated the war uy an ultimatum un
acceptable to Serbia. It was set
forth, however, that the Allies were
willing to assist Austria to adapt
herself to her new situation and to
admit her in the near future to
the League of Nations. The treaty !
was presented in French, English
and Italian texts.
The treaty was accompanied with
a covering letter which, according
to the forecasts, sets forth Austria's
responsibility in aiding to bring
about the war and points out that
she therefore could not obtain
treatment similar to that accorded
Czccho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia, It
is declared to recognize, however,
that because of her small extent
Austria will need economic and fi
nancial help to insure her existence.
The Supreme Council discussed
the failure of Rumania to make
written responses to the Council's
notes. It is likely the Council will
send an admiral in the near future
with an emphatic note demanding
an immediate response by Ruma
nia to the Council's communica
tions.
Rumania will not sign the peace
treaty with Austria, according to
Intransigeant. because of a clause
introduced at the formal request of
the American delegates concerning
ethical minorities.
Rumania also takes exception to
a clause regulating treaties, com
merce and railroad rates, Intransi
geant says, considering that it
would be undignified for her to ac
cept it. The newspaper adds that
the resignation of J. J. C. Bratiano
as Premier is imminent.
The peace treaty to be offered
I Bulgaria, says the Temps, contains
an article by which Bulgaria will
hind itself to accept future decision
by the powers with regard to
Thrace and the Aegean Sea.
Fiume to Be Buffer State
The Fiume problem will be solved
by an agreement that the city shall
become a buffer state, with an ex
tended hinterland, according to an
interview with a prominent Italian
which is printed in the Journal to
day. The article declares Fiume
wiil be under a regime that will
assure the Italian character of the
city, being governed by a council
composed of two Italians, two Jugo
slavs, and one citizen of Fiume. The
city of Zara, it is said, will be made
free.

PROMINENT, IS DEAD
[Continued from First Page.]
counties were better known in poli
tics or had a wider acquaintance.
Mr. Mcetch knew men in every bor
ough and every township in Dau
phin county and was a genius for
political detail. He forced recogni
tion from the leaders of the party
in the city for the leaders in the
country and for a time his voice
was dominant in party councils. Al
though he won many victories, Mr.
Meetch had some defeats, but lie
immediately started to prepare for
the next light. About a dozen years
ago he retired from politics and
moved from Millersburg to this city,
spending months in hunting and au
tomobile tours. §He was fond of
tracing local history and was pos
sessed of a wonderful fund of in
formation about the early days and
the people of Dauphin county. Hiu
reminiscences of early mining and
of the heydcy of rafting on the Suc
quehanna were most interesting. In
many parts of the county he knew
three generations of a family and
when at farmers' picnics or family
reunions he would display a knowl
edge of people and their names and
relationships that was remarkable.
Not only did this fund of informa
tion about his native county make
him a pleasant companion, but lie
had some thrilling stories of hunt
ing to tell. Often urged to wiite
some of the episodes of the field and
mountain, Col. Meetch refused, say
ing that he preferred to tell theni
in a circle of friends.
Mr. Meetch was president of the
Clinton Water Company, Clinton,
N. Y., and of the Rhinebeck Water
| Company, Rhinebeck, N. Y, He was
1 also interested in the Southwestern
Missouri Railways Company and
the Harrisburg Railways Companj.
A member of G. A. R. Post No. SJ,
he was always active in the affairs
of the post until the time of his
death. He was also a charter mem
ber of the Harrisburg Reserves and
although well along in years, volun
teered his services in the event of
any trouble. He was a member of
Susquehanna Lodge No. 364, F. atid
A. M., of Millersburg, and of the
congregation of Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Mr. Meetch was probably the
most prominent hunter of big game
in Harrisburg. From the time ho
i was twelve years old he was a crack
shot with the rifle and shotgun and
his skill with these weapons was
never dulled. Several years ago
when he was about seventy, he went
into Alaska in the quest of bears
and, as usual, came out with a very
good number of pelts, some of them
of extraordinary size.
From Mexico to Northern Canada
and Alaska and from Maine to the
Rocky Mountains, Mr. Meetch has
gone in for big game, having shot
in every state of the Union, and his
house is liberally decorated with
skins and heads of animals that fell
victim to his clear eye and steady
hand. For the last six years he has
spent the winters at his bungalow
at Kissimmee, Florida, and has used
it as headquarters for hunting. In

He is survived by his son, Harry
W. Meetch, and two daughters, Mrs.
Anna M. Frain, of this city, ar.d
Mrs. Sarah M. Stroup, of Philadel

J. Harry Stroup, formerly register
of wills of Dauphin county.
As a political leader and hunter,
Mr. Meetch demonstrated repeat
edly unusual physical courage. Some
of the tales of his experiences with
the American grizzly and other
large game were more than thrill
ing. He was the possessor of one
of the largest Alaskan bear skins on
record and his trophies of the hunt,
it is understood, may eventually tlud
their way into the State Museum, as
he is said to have indicated a de
sire to have them placed in the
State collection.
As a businessman he was re
markable for his keen judgment and
insight and in the very midst of lilt;
political activities gave much atten
tion to the large interests with
which he was identified in a busi
ness way.
During his hunting trips he had
many hairbreadth escapes. He was
urged frequently by those WHO
heard his interesting narratives to
set down the stories of his hunting
for his friends to read, and it is be
lieved he once had complied to the
extent of writing a few of his most
interesting experiences.
For several days before his death
he was practically blind, but was
able to be taken out for an airing
in an automobile less than two
weeks ago. He was always possess, d
of vigorous health and never until
his last illness showed any signs
of weakening of his physical
strength.
The dead hunter and political
leader was a great philosopher and
his observations on men and things
were always interesting.
