COUNCIL OUSTS
OFFICER GIRVIN
Methodist Minister at Waynes
boro Leads in Demand For
Policeman's Discharge
Waynesboro. Pa., Nov. B.—State
Policeman Girvin lost his job here
when the Itev. Wilford P. Shriner,
pastor of the Methodist Church, ap
• peared before cotlnc'l and demanded
that the officer be discharged for
conduct unbecoming an officer. It
did not mollify the parson when
Councilman J. W. Croft said that
perhaps it would r <t. be wise to act
at once. Dr. Shriner said he pro
posed to remain in the council
chamber until the matter was set
tled, and stay he did.
On Hallowe'en night Girvin saw
the red light in Center Square flash
a danger signal. He answered the
call and was told there was trouble
at the Methodist Church. Arriving
there, he found the auditorium in
semi-darkness and a Hallowe'en en-
tertainment going on. Girvin flashed
his light among the maskers, finally
coming upon Irving G. Hall, who
was wearing garb closely reserm
bling that worn by monks. Dr.
Shriner says the policeman used
rough language. Girvin admits he
spoke sharply, saying in effect, "This
is not the time to mock at another
religion." •
With seven members of his church
the Methodist parson appeared be
fore the council at a special meet
ing on Thursday evening gnd de
manded Girvin's immediate dis
charge. Burgess Myers told the
council the officer with whom he
had talked intended no overstepping
of authority, saying that if he had
transgressed it was his iirst offense.
He asked that he be given a hear
ing and a chance.
Girvin was summoned tn told ris
side of the story. Four of the six
councilmen voted to let him out.
One of them voted in Girvins favor
and another was absent. Dr. Shrlner
told the councilmen the costume
worn by Hall was not the costume
of a priest, but rather that of a
rabbi. Hail said he first had worn
the costume at a cantanta.
The Rev. Fr. Edward O'Flynn said
yesterday the costume worn by Hall
very much resembled that worn by
monks of the Catholic church, men
living under the rule apart from
the world.

CITY NEEDS RED
CROSS' WILLING AID
[Continued from First Page.]

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
For every American soldier kill
ed during the European War—and
there were 49,498 of them!—eight
graves are dug in Amerca each
year for babies!
Seven million men were killed
during the feur years of war, but,
in two years of those four, six mil
lion men died of influenza!
Thousands of babies are born in
America each year, but their births
cost the lives of 16,000 mothers.
Half the schood children in the
United States are physically de
fective, but their defects can be
corrected.
One of every three men examined
ined for military service in the
United States during the war were
rejected because of physical de
fects.
There is one agency in the
Tnited States—and only one—which
can ameliorate these evils.
It is the American Red Cross.
What's the answer!
Legion, who will join in a new house
to house canvass.
Suppose there were another "flu"
epidemic in Harrisburg—
Or a fire which destroyed hundreds
of homes —
Or a epidemic—
Or a public hall catastrophe—
Or some other evil which entailed
suffering.
Then, presuming that Harrisburg
had done its duty, the Red Cross
would be in a position to help.
But if Harrisburg had not done its
duty 7
Then the hands of the Red Cross
local chapter would be effectually
tied; and epidemics might rage, or the
homeless suffer. ,
That is why far-seeing men and
women urge memberships for the
Red Cross. Membership is sl. Of
that sum 50 cents goes to the Nation
al body. The balance stays with
Harrisburg Red Cross, unless the
membership was secured by an out
of-town auxiliary—and in that case
the auxilary retains 25 cents and
Harrisburg Chapter gets the other
25 cents.
"Pooh" said a man on the Square
this morning. "None of those things
are going to happen in Harrisburg!"
"That's what the folks said in
Johnstown a couple of days before the
flood in 1889," said Mercer B. Tate.
The people over there heard that the
South Fork dam was weak, but there
had been so many 'Wolf! Wolf!'
alarms they paid no attention to the
rumors. So to-day there is an 'Un
known Plot' in the cemetery in Johns
town. with 999 headstones in it: and
over 3,000 people died because proper
precautions were not taken. Let me
assure the people of Harrisburg—
and assure them in all solemnity!—
that Harriszurg Red Cross Is not cry
ing 'Wolf! Wolf!'"
Volunteer* Are Wanted
Chairman William Jennings this
morning said the Red Cross needs
volunteers from soldiers, who will ac
company Red Cross solicitors next
week. A number have already volun
teered. Offers of service should be
made either to Mr. Tate at headquart
ers in the Library butidng, or to any
of the six Roll Call colonels. These
colonels are Miss Anne McCormick,
Mrs. G. L. Culmerry, Mrs. F. R. Oys
ter, Mrs. A. Dillinger, Mrs. Charles H.
Hunter and Mrs. E. F. Doehme.
The Red Cross still needs 41,000 of
the 48,000 members it started out to
get—and $25,000 of the $30,000 cash
required.

Harrisburg River Front
as Model Makes Big
Vote For Improvements
Harrlsburg's river front develop
ment was the model held up before
i the voters of the Tarentum district,
at their election this week, when the
question of providing a river park
by bond issue was placed before the
public for decision at the polls, ac
cording to an announcement from
the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce this morning.
The movement for a bond issue
to provide a river front development
similar to that along the Susque
hanna in Harrisburg was fostered
by the Allegheny Valley Chamber of
Commerce, whose activities embrace
Tarentum, Brackenridge, Natrona,
and their contiguous territories. The
Allegheny valley organization credits
the co-operation furnished by the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce as
one of the prime reasons for the
success of the loan issue. The local
Chamber furnished information and
newspaper illustrations for the
western district's newspapers in
order that the popular approval of
the loan could be secured. The let
ter acknowledging the value of this
service received from the Allegheny
Valley Chamber is as follows:
"We were able to use the cuts in
our local papers Monday, and con
tribute a considerable portion of our
success at the election to the views
of the Harrisburg river front im
provement.
"You may be interested in learn
ing that while the park issue was
carried, it carried by a very slender
margin, and the help furnished by
your organization may well be con
sidered a decided factor in the re
sult."

Largest Coal Mine in
World Sealed Tight After
Flames Break Out
By Associated Press
lfickncll. Ind., Nov. B.—American
No. 1 mine, said to be the largest
bituminous coal mine in the world,
which was discovered on fire last

mine is entirely electrically equipped,
not a mule being used in it.
Ordinarily 586 men are employed
and the mine has a capacity of 6,000
tons of coal daily. Only twenty-one
men, including pumpers and en
gineers, were employed when the
fire was discovered and these were
rescued.
The cause of the fire had not
been determined to-day. Although
the employes of the mine nre on
strike, more than a hundred gath
ered about the shaft as soon as the
alarm was sounded and
to fight the fire, as evidence, they
said, that they had no connection
with the fire.
