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

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.

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. |

j Hickok and Alger Bailey, grandsons,

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

Louis J. Houseal, James F. Leader,

and Blair Smith. 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."

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.
Previous to the march to the Island
the Eighth Regiment and Common
j wealth Bands gave a concert, the
| former in Market street near Front
i and the latter in Market Square.
