18 DEPUTIES WANT FIUME MADE AN ITALIAN CITY Debate Interrupted by Free Fight in Which One Hun dred Participate !iy Associated Press* I'ar s, Sept. 29.—A resolution d' j manding that Flume be made ; ! Italian city lias been passed by t) Italian Chamber of Deputies, acccn ing to information received by tl: Italian delegation here. Rome, Sunday, Sept. 2S.—DebaU in the Chamber of Deputies was inter rupted to-day by a free fight which lasted ten minutes and in which i about 100 deputies participated. The opinion is expressed in some quarters that the cabinet, as a result of the riotous incident may decide to re sign rather than plunge the country into a struggle in the general elec tion. It is asserted the light in the chamber indicutes what would occur in the country. The correct figures for the vote . of confidence given the cabinet were! 208 to 148, instead of 208 to 140 as at first reported. Ten members re- ' frained from voting. All the others, except the official Socialists, voted | confidence in Premier Nitti. The chamber adjourned to-night ' until Wednesday, when it will decide ' whether a vote shall be taken on the question of discussing the Peace Treaties. In consequence of the fight in the chamber several duels were announ ced between deputies and between deputies and journalists. A prolonged, heated discussion ' preceded the riotous scene. The I members of the parliamentary league' insisted upon asking the government ' whether it intended to discuss the treaties before adjournment. Pre- J ntier Nltti answered that he wou'd \ first have a vote of confidence, and then whatever cabinet should he in power would decide what should be done. Thereupon members of the parliamentary league invaded the' minister's bench, shouting and gestl- ; culating. TROOPS RESTORE QUIET IN OMAHA [Continued from First Page.] But then protests began to be heard. "We won't stand for hanging the mayor," several men shouted. Then two officers cut the rope, car ried the mayor to an automobile and rushed him to a hospital. The mayor's law firm is at present defending two negroes charged with as saults on white women. The police as sert that that fact had much to do with some of the remarks made by members of the mob. Courthouse in Ruins The fire that was started in the court house left that structure a mass of ruins. The property was valued at a million and a half dollars. The dam age to the records could not be esti mated early to-day but it is believed i vany have been dt stroyed beyond reclamation. Statistics vital to county affairs since the county was originated ire believed to be badly damaged. For several hours the lives of more than 100 prisoners in the county jail •vas endangered by the flames in the 'ower floors of the building. It was finally necessary to send them all to the root Sheriif Clark stood off the angry mob until the flames caused the pris oners themselves to take action. They ?.t first decided arr.ong themselves to throw the negro from the roof to the pavement below and leave him to the destruction of the mob. At this moment lie mob that had gained entrance to •tie burning building pushed past Sheriff lark and his deputies and forced their way into the cell corridor and there the negro was turned over to them. Body Mutilated Throwing a rope around his neck these men. numbering about fifty, drag ged him to the ground floor, down stif ling stairways and through blinding smoke to the street. When they appear ed at the Harney street entrance to the :ourthouse they were greeted by a Sowling mob of thousands. Brown was practically dead before He was hanged. Two bullets were fired Into his body as he was dragged through :he crowd. Brown's body was mutilated beyond recognition. Riddled by a thousand bul ets. it was first placed over a fire of airred fagots. It was not permitted to vmain there long, however, and was soon being dragged through the streets it the end of a rope pulled by fifty nembers of the mob. Late in the morn ng, what remained of the torso was lung to a trolley pole at one of the nost important down town intersections. In Critical Condition Mayor Smith was still in a critical fondition this morning reports from the lospital indicated. It was stated that je had recovered consciousness but that t was too early to make any definite statement as to his condition. Mayor Smith is 59 years okl and is i Democrat In politics. He is a lawyer snd practiced his profession until :hosen mayor a year ago last May. to succeed James C. Dahlman, who had leld that office for 12 years. Sheriff Michael L. Clark to-day told :lie story of how Brown finally came into :he possession of the mob. Sheriff's Story "The deputy sheriffs had orders to jold Brown and they did all in their sower to do so," said Clark. "When :he flames and smoke crowded us ofl' :he fourth floor, Commissioner Ringer, .'luef Eberstein, Mayor Smith and some sol ice officers started for the freight (levator. The last men into the eleva icr were Smith. Ringer and Eberstein. The women prisoners were screaming it the top of their voices. We took if teen women prisoners and released hem rather than have them burn in heir cells. They escaped from the ■uilding. "Later we took the male prisoners >ut of their cells when it became too lot there and led them to the roof. Pliey were panic stricken. The colored •risoners seized Brown and tried to msh him over the cornice into the crowd lelow, but white prisoners and deputy therifTs restrained them. "X was on my way up a stairway to lie roof when a mass of bodies tumbled lown over my head and sprawled on the loor beneath me. "The colored prisoners had bolted by ne with Brown in their clutches. They lurried him to the floor below and urned him over to a crowd of 30 or nore who had climbed into the window rom an extension ladder. That was he last I saw of Brown. "We had 126 prisoners in the jail Sun lay morning. We released fifteen wo nen. Three men prisoners escaped. lIIKODORR I.AMiI.IT/. GARHICH The funeral of T. L.

Scenes Gathered During Parade and Ceremonies in Welcome Jubilee CITY CHURCHES ACCLAIM HEROES [Continued from First Page.! big American flags which have Hanked the pulpit for two years. There was a half hour of music preceding the service when the or gan, supplemented by a quartet of brasses, played the national anthem of the Allied countries, interspersed with familiar airs of our own coun ! try. J. Foster Sherk, Eugene Sherk, Charles Meek and Henry Sherk were assisting players, with two trumpets ! and two cornets. The brasses assist ed also in the rendition of DeKoven's J recessional and "God of Our Fathers." ..y" worker Makes Address The speaking of the evening was begun by Miss Minerva Hepford, who saw months of service in France as a "Y" worker. Miss Hep ford told of her experiences in Grenoble and Paris, where she was | stationed. She explained the work ! of the Y. M. C. A. in these different ! places and all that it meant to the j boys. Grenoble, as a leave area, had | marvelous opportunities for service , and made the most of them. Miss ! Hepford dwelt on the educational j and religious side of the "Y" serv- I I ice. Spirit of Men in Battle She was followed by Captain Ed- ' ward J. Stackpole, Jr., One Hundred and Tenth Infantry, who told of the j I spirit of the men in the battle line. , Captain Stackople said that it was | ] not the thought of any man when 1 exposed to possible death in the next ! minute, to try to ask for forgive- I ness from the Father. They felt that | it was not fair, not up to the stand- i , ard of fair piny set by the Americans, this last minute striving for salva- j tion. It was only after the return j to reserve or rest billets that the men began to think, and it was at j that time that many of them were i won to Christianity; shocked Into it, as Captain Stackpole said. The Captain had nothing but praise for the conduct of the American boys in the fleld. . Tells of Nary Achievement Yeoman John L. L. Kuhn. Jr., spoke most interestingly of his ex periences in the navy. Beginning I with his enlistment. Yeoman Kuhn i took his hearers through the life of ! a "gob," and told of the achieve- | ments of our navy. He paid tribute j to Captain Dismukes, of the Market ; Square Church, who brought the Mt. ; Vernon back to port safely after she ; was torpedoed the first day out from i Brest. Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert spoke for the Red Cross and all the home workers. Mrs. Gilbert said that she felt as though she and the workers had not done half the work that ; they might have done. She spoke very highly of the Women's i iliary of the Market Square Church. Service nog Lowered The service flag of the church was then lowered by Lieutenant A. H. j Stackpole and handed to William 1 Hilton, Donald Moyer, Charles I Booda and Miss Susanna Westbrook, who carried it down the aisle. The : flag carried 168 blue stars, and two ; gold, one for Lee Wert Monyer, ! One Hundred and Ninth M. G. bat- , talion, who died in France, and the ! j other for Garfield McAllister, a "Y" j I worker, who died in this country. | I The large silk flags which Hastings j j Hickok and Alger Bailey, grandsons, | of a former Gover,.or and Secretary j j of War, placed in the church two j I years ago, wpie handed to these j same boys by Major Samuel W. | Fleming, Jr., and Major John S. | , Spicer. and borne out of the church, i Follow in Wake of Flag The service men and women in | the congregation followed the flags j to the rear of the church while the i organ played "The Union Forever." ; Coincident with the lowering of the church flag, the service flag of the choir, numbering six stars, was low ered by Corporal Lawrence F. Moyer. Refers to Spirit of Joy The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, at Grace Methodist Church, last even ing preached to the .soldiers, sailors and marines, as well as to all wel fare workers and nurses. The serv ice was a special one in connection with the Welcome Home celebra tion. Dr. Bagnell took his theme from the Book or Ezra, in which the old men are Represented as weeping and the young men as rejoicing. He ep plied this theme to the present day period of joy and happiness in the return of our men and also in the sadness and tears which the memory of the men left overseas brings to the ones at home. Dr. Bag nell wore the uniform which he used overseas in his investigation of con ditions as a "V" worker. Service I-'lag Demobilized Demobilization of the service flag of Pine Street Presbyterian Church took place last evening when the Rev. Dr. Lewis S. Mudge preached a special sermon. Dr. Mudge spoke of the spirit of the American soldier at home and in foreign service, and cited instances when that spirit which he characterized as the hand of God, asserted itself in upholding the principles of Christianity. Read ing several articles from leading journals. Dr. Mudge supported the j contention that Christianity, democ- I racy and right are one and the same [ thing. There were 374 men represented ' in the service flag of church and Sun | day school. Ten gold stars are in the i flag. Romert Bothwell, a member of I the church, and the other nine all | members of the Htck-A-Thrift Club 'of the Sunday school. They are: ' WlM'nm Arnold. William Xoggle, ■ William F.

This list does not include the tive "Y" secretaries , from the church. Speaks of Red Menace The Rev. Henry W. A. Hanson, j pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church, ' spoke to a full auditorium last night i in a special service for the soldiers | of the church. Dr. Hanson spoke 1 of the evils which are confronting j us at the present in the menace; of Bolshevism throughout his coun- i try. He urged that there be more reli- j gion outside of the church as the ; only way to combat present day ten- : dencies. The unrest of the country I is a natural reaction after the war, ! but there is also an element which 1 has crept in from other countries : which is unhealthy and must be stamped out. There was special music at the j service last night. Mrs. Florence I Ackley Ley sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning." The Star Spangled j Banner was played at the end of the j service. Grateful City Honors Its Heroes Out of War Fully 10,000 enthusiastic, cheering [ Harrisburg people thronged Island | Park yesterday afternoon to attend j the "Welcome Home" services held in honor of Harrisburg men and wo- . men who served with the colors dur- I ing the great war. It was the big- I gest gathering in the history of the I city and by far the happiest and | most enthusiastic. The exercises, which were held on ; a big stand in mid-field in front of i the grandstand, were preceded by a! parade in which all the service men j and women joined. The procession i fcuned on Market street in the court of honor and more than 3200 soldiers, ! sailors and marines were in line when J the parade moved off to the stirring j strains of bands, and led by the com mittee of arrangements, made up of Civil and Spanish War veterans and war workers, acting as an escore. Out across the Market street I bridge, between two solid lines of j n.en, women and children the march-] ere wended their way, and then down j into the athletic field at the upper j <nd of the Island, where thousands j ; upon thousands of home-folks throng- j ing the bleachers, the grandstand and | , every available foot of space not re- | ! served for the troops, burst into : ! round after round of applause that' kept up until the last soldier had j i taken his place in front of the stand ; and the exercises were opened with | prayer by Rabbi Haas. All through j j the program, with the community I singing led by Mrs. Ley, the address j J of the day by Governor Sproul, the (speech of welcome by Mayor Kiester | and the memorial address by the Rev. | Henry W. A. Hanson, the great crowd I hung on every word and cheered I itself hoarse when the four medal of j lienor men presented with thetr cita | tlons and crosses by Colonel James I B Kemper and Major Frank C. Ma j hin. All in all, it was a day long to Ibo remembered by those who wit- I nessed the exeicises; a red letter day 'in the history of Harrisburg. It saw I the curtain of war fall on the 4inal ! act in this city, and rise again to-day j on a stage set for a long period of | well-earned peace. The day was ideal for the event. The air was as balmy as in Au gust and the skies cloudless. The j center of the city was astir with j great crowds of people hours before i the time set for the movement of ! the parade, 3.30 o'clock. Promptly |at that hour the soldiers, sailors, ; marines and war service men and women began to assemble in the j beautiful Court of Honor in Market j street ar."d Market Square. The old \ Eighth Regiment Band, in the serv- ; ice as the Sixtieth Pioneer Infantry j Band, led off the procession and di- | rectly following came the commit-1 tee of 125 in charge of the arrange- j ments, acting as an escort. As the procession entered the ] Market street bridge, between the | columns of the formal entrance. It, was met by two lines of Red Cross women in uniform on either side of! the roadway. The soldiers saluted j as they swung through the double line four abreast and the big bridge j trembled beneath the steady pound, j pound, pound of hundreds of feet; beating in unison to the stirring march of the \|pnds. Those who saw the Island Park; yesterday will never forget the pic- I ture. The athletic field lies like a; great amphitheater. With trees sur rounding It on three sides and a fringe of lower shrubbery at the south. It Is completely cut off from I the outside world. The grass, a bril- j Hard green, had been trimmed down to the level of a golf course; tHe , stand in the center, fronting the 1 bleachers and the grandstand, was bedecked with the national colors and from a tall steel flagpole at the j i ■ i BX2tRIBBt7RaCtfSS& TELEOrctPH side Old Glory fluttered a welcome ; to the hosts who had gone out to [ defend the flag arrd who just a year ago had been engaged in the most desperate battles ever fought by men. As column after column of khaki-clad figures swept up the field and countermarched into posi- ' tior? within hearing distance of the stand, the big audience burst into 1 cheering and handclapping that continued without interruption until the last man was in place and George S. Reinoehl, as president of the Chamber of Commerce,. had es corted Governor Sproul to the stand, t where already were seated Lieuten ant Governor Beidleman, Mrs. Ly-1 man D. Gilbert, head of the Red | Cross; William Jennings, prominent in all manner of war work; Spencer C. Gilbert, chairman of the memor- ; ial committee; Rabbi Lewis M. I Haas, the Rev. Henry W. A. Han- j son, Mayor Keister and members of City Council. To the left of the stand were grouped 30 over-seas soldiers carry ing the flags of all the Allies, near them 23 women who had served with the Red Cross or otherwise in the war, and back of them the relatives of men who had died in the service. William Jennings opened the exer j cises with a brief welcoming address. J presenting Rabbi Haas who made the < opening prayer. Directly following ' Mrs. Ley led the assemblage in "Am merica," and other patriotic songs, ofter which Governor Sproul deliv ered the address of the day. The Governor was given a warm greeting. He said he marvelled, looking over the assemblage, that such a vast number of service men and women should have gone out from one me dium-sized Pennsylvania city, and he was prouder than ever to rill himself a citizen of Harrisburg. n e Gover nor said that the war hud demon strated that no nation on earth can trifle with America, and he felt thai what Americans had done in the war! had taught the world a lesson and j will do much in the future to guar- | antee our freedom from aggression. I The Governor's address was not long, j but it expressed fully the gratitude; i he and all good citizens feel to the j [men in uniform and it was forceful] ; in the extreme. j "Let us see to it," he said, 'that the , institutions of this Republic, the i ! American ideals of civilization and [ I the right living for which these men ' | fought be maintained: let us per-j ! petuate them in integrity and I strength as a lasting memorial to , those who have laid down their lives. ! Men in the service and these at home j owe It as a duty to the dead to see that no standards are lowered and that the people of this country en j joy the blessings which the constitu ' tion vouchsafes."

Skilled in first aid, j he instructed the others how to ad | just a tourniquet and rendered oth j er assistance to the wounded, finally i permitting his own wounds, which | subsequently caused his death, to he attended after all the others had been cared for. The Governor congratulated each of the fortunate young men. Turning to Sergeant Sheckart he said. "Young man, I would rather have those two medals than be Governor of Pennsylvania." Mayor's Address Mayor Keister made the address of welcome in the name of the city. He was heartily applauded. In part he said: "As we look at these ffrave hoys, with the Stars and Stripes floating over them, the scenes of blood and struggle that they represent suggest themselves to our consciences. "We see them at Chateau Thierry, and again in the St. Mihiet salient, in Belleau Woods, and way out in "Xo Man's Land," with relentless determina tion taking from the German strategic positions which they had held unin terruptedly for four years, flattening out the salient and threatening the forti fied city of Metz. In this greatest war of recorded his tory the heroism of men never reached a higher plane. The war was won, not by the President, or the Secretary of War, or the Secretary of the Navy, or by any ndmiral or general, victory was achieved by American soldiers and American s-.llors, privates Ih the ranks, and by the privates at home, the Ameri can men and women producing the sinews of war. and creating the moral power behind the fighting forces. With the glorious triumphs that has American arms on land and sea, we say to every man that was In the service, to the men in khaki and the men in blue, to each one from seaman to admiral, from private to general, those who were on the firing line as well as those who did not have the oppor tunity of going overseas, that your heroic deeds and your sacrifices have been appreciated by a grateful country and n thankful community. You have earned the gratitude of the Nation in maintaining the great principles of our Republic, and the prestige.of our flag." The Mayor paid a tribute also to the war workers at home, saying: "I desire to pay personal tribute to the army of war workers behind the lines. I want to tell you how busy men in all walks of life forgot their business affairs for the time and labored diligently for the com mon cause. How your mothers, sis ters and sweethearts worked in the Red Crosu organizations night and day In order that you might be made as comfortable as possible in | your perilous positions." The Mayor selected from the khaki-clad youths one representa tive, Private Israel B. Finkey, of 202 South River street, who had lost a leg in the Argonne Forest. He was brought upon the speakers' stand | and his medal was pinned upon him i by Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, head of I the local chapter of the Red Cross. I To the man so honored the Mayor said: •Private Finkey, you have kept the faith and fought it through. You have borne arms in defense of the Xation. We felicitate you upon your devotion to the flag and the; honor which is yours." The Mayor then sent into the] crowd 100 Red Cross women to pin medals of honor on the several men j and women present.. The memorial address was deliv ered by the Rev. Dr. Henry W. A. Hanson, of Messiah Lutheran i Church, and It was a masterpiece. I He exp#esied the sorrow of the community over the loss of the gal lant youths who died during the war. He said that in their death lies a lesson for us, that w carry on In our lives the work they made the supreme sacrifice to begin—the preservation of the sacred insti tutions of the United States.

At his conclusion Dr. Hanson pinned on the breast of Mrs. Werlss —mother of a lad who died in France—a medal of honor, she representing all the gold star women of the city. A double quartet sang "We Shall Meet But We Shall Miss! Him." and after a moment of silent j prayer the meeting came to a close j with a benediction. Harrtsburg's population was not all at Island Park yesterday after noon. Market street held thousands of men and women and children. The street was lined from Third to Front, and Market Square was one big mass of humanity. The crowds were on hand as early as 1.30 al though the march to the Island did not start until 3.30. Captain George W. Rhoads, chief marshal, received word on schedulb time from his chief of staff, F. H. Hoy, Jr., that the line was ready to proceed to the Island. A platoon of police headed the big procession. , Then came Chief Marshal Captain Rhoads and his staff, a committee of civilians and the old Eighth Regi ment Band. Nurses and women who were in "Y" work abroad, and nurses who were in service in training, number ing thirty, marched directly back of the band. The line of proces sion following included: j Soldiers carrying flags of all Al [ lied nations, commissioned officers from overseas, soldiers from the 112 th Regiment of the 28th Divi sion, soldiers representing other di visions who were in the World's War, including Lieutenant Horace Geisel and men in his command; the Commonwealth Band, another company of soldiers, including those I who were on duty at camps in the I United States, sailors and marines; | cSlored troops and an exclusive dlvi i sion representing the Navy, j The big crowd cheered the sol | diers and sailors all along the route.
