MUST CARE FOR
CAVE DWELLERS
Red Cross Sees That Refu
gees Are Unable to Look
After Themselves
Omsk, Nov. 12. —Several thousand
cave-dwelling refugees in the out
skirts of Omsk, facing a Siberian
winter only a month or two off, liv
ing in a hand-to-mouth fashion with
nothing in the way of clothing but
the rags in which they stand, con
stitute a problem for the American
Red Cross, practically the only or
ganization to which they can look
with any hope of relief. The Asso
ciated Press correspondent accom
panied Major Charles McDonald and
Dr. A. F. Jackson, Red Cross man
agers, on a tour of inspection to
day. They were trying to gauge the
necessities and match them against
their resources already badly
strained with relief work among
refugees and troops.
The first group of huts visited
numbered a hundred and forty, cov
ering perhaps an acre of ground and
averaging five persons to a hut.
There were two other similar set
tlements in the neighborhood. Most
of the huts were burrows, sometimes
with a Uttle window peeping out
close unltr the clay covered roof.
Crude steps led down into the dark
interiors which one entered by dou
bling up like a jackknife. Stoves
contrived out of bricks and stones
and scraps of sheet iron, a wide
bunk or platform which served as
sleeping accommodation for the en
tire family, a table made out of odds
and ends and a stool or two con
stituted the usual furnishings. To
be sure there were more preten
tious ones here and there with wood
sheathing against the clay walls,
whitewashed or papered with news
papers, and having hoard floors,
but these were the "bourzhui"
among the refugee proletariat.
One cave about eight feet by ten
feet had originally housed seven
people. To-day there were two; the
others had died during eighteen
months in the settlement. Most of
those living in these huts have been
refugees since 1915 when they were
driven from their homes in Poland
and Lithuania by the Russian army
during its first advance against the
Germans. Many of them had been
farmers, prosperous in a small way,
or factory workmen or tradesmen.
Nearly all of them find employment
enough to eke out an existence and
the Omsk government provides food
for those who are not able to work.
Celebrates Armistice
Day With Dinner;
Address to Americans
London. Nov. 12.—The English-
Speaking Union gave a dinner here
last night in celebration of Armis
tice Day, the first anniversary of the
signing of the historic pact that
ended hostilities of the world war.
The chief event of the dinner was
the presentation to John W. Davis,
the American ambassador, for
transmission to President Wilson, of
an illuminated address to the Ameri
can people testifying to the excel
lent relations which existed between
the British people and the American
troops, who were quartered in this
country during the war. The ad
dress bears the signatures of the
lord mayors, lord provosts and the
mayors of the chief cities and towns
in the British Isles.
The dinner was held in the fa
mous Connaught Rooms in Great
Queen street. Earl Reading, Lord
Chief Justice .of England, presided.
The signatories to the address are
the lord mayors of London, Liver
pool, Norwich, Sheffield and Bel
fast; the lord provosts of Edin
burgh and Glasgow; the provost of
Renfrew, and the mayors of Stam
ford, Salisbury, Oxford. Lincoln,
Chester, Southampton, Dover,
Derby, Portsmouth, Buckingham,
Grantham, Oldham, Andover, Don
caster and Eastbourne.
Belgians, Who Fled
to England in War,
Are Returning Home
loiidon, Nov. 12.—0f some 250,-
000 Belgian refugees who fled to
this country during the war, the
Ministry of Health estimate that
there are less than 20,000 here to
day, the rest having returned to
their own land or France. To care
for Belgian refugees has cost Eng
land by private means and govern
ment support £9,500,000.
Servants' Convention
Is Held in Berlin
Berlin. Nov. 12.—1n the House of
Lords, that famous palace on Leip
zigerstrasse where the Prussian
junkers, the dukes, counts and
barons used to dream their pan-Ger
man dreams of world empire, sneer
at popular rights and even bulldoze
Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, their
most gracious ruler, so-called, a new
leaf was turned the other night when
the National Convention of German
servant girls, cooks, nurse maids,
wash and scrub women and kitchen
girls was called to order in the staid
old hall were Prince Bismarck was
wont to thunder.
It was a great meeting, even if it
was not conducted strictly according
to Cushing's Manual. There were
delegates from all of the principal
cities of Germany, representing the
"women folks down stairs" as well
as the "upstairs girls." Even poor
olcj Vienna of the merry washer
maiden tradition had sent a delegate
who made a very creditable speech,
reporting a most phenomenal ac
complishment: No more hand kisses
in Austria!!
Held in $lO,OOO on
Blackmail Charge
New York, Nov. 12. Charged
with extortion and blackmail, Fred
Decola, an Italian, who told the po
lic" tie was a barber, 27 years old,
was held in $lO,OOO bail for an
other hearing to-morrow, when he
was arraigned in police court yes
terday. The extension was granted
at the request of the assistant dis
trict attorney assigned to the ease
by District Attorney Swann, on the
ground that the defendant is a mem
ber of a Black Hand society or a
dangerous gang of crooks.
Decola's arrest followed the receipt
of a letter by Wesley D. Little, su
perintendent of mines for the Gen
eral Refractories Company, living in
Philltpsburg, Pa. This letter warn
ed Mr. Little that unless the writer
received $175, with which he might
"go back to Italy and forget her,"
Mr. Little's daughter Gertrude, with
whom the writer said he was living,
would be disgraced and would be
held in bondage.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf
NEW STAR FOR
LOCAL. TOSSERS
Sam Mooreliead Will Play
With Independents; Here
Saturday
Sam Moorehead, of Philadelphia,
regarded as one of the best center
men in professional basketball cir
cles, has been signed to finish the
season with the Harrisburg Inde
pendents. He will take the place of
"Big Hoss" Haggerty, who intends
to finish the season with the Read
ing club of the Eastern League
Moorehead pluyed against Hag
gerty here in the opening contest
of this season, with the St. Eliza
beth five, of Philadelphia, and hla
work in that contest was of high
order. While not quite as accom
plished in the handling of the ball
as Haggerty, Moorehead is a faster
floor worker, and is a more able
dribbler than the big boy.
The "Big Hoss" has been a mem
ber of the Reading club for several
years. Last year the Eastern League
was hot organized, and Haggerty '
had little difficulty in getting out to
play with other clubs. The reorgan
ization of the league this season took
him back to the Reading club, and
league rulings prevent his playing
with any teams outside of the
league.
Moorelienil PlaJ's Saturday
In order to lower the inducements
for outside play, the Reading club
has increased its salary roll consid
erably, and Haggerty received such
an excellent offer that he has de
cided to confine his activities to the
Rmding club alone this season.
Moorehead is to play his first
game with the Independents Satur
day night of this week against the
Vincome team, of Philadelphia. He
will be opposed by either Jack Law
rence or Larry Pasqurillo, and the
battle of the centermen should pro
vide an interesting feature of the
fray. Moorehead will take part in
one of the practices to be conduct
ed by Manager Ford and the other j
members of the Independent squad j
this week, and. should be in good I
shape to make things hum when the !
team lines up against the Vineomes '
Saturday.
