FIRING UPON

CONFIRMED
Captain of Tennessee
Reports Being Shot

Smyrna
DANIELS WANTS
MORE DETAILS
Secretary of the Navy Calls Upon Cap
tain Decker to Forward Immediately
a Full Report of the Incident to
Washington
.Washington, Nov. IS.—Captain
Docker, of the cruiser Tennessee, seut
an official confirmation to Secretary
Daniels early today that while pro
ceeding from Yourlah to Smyrna to
make an official call the vessel was fired
upon.
An earlier dispatch from Captain
Decker, reporting the Tennessee's ar
rival at Chios at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon made no mention of the in
cident. Mr. Daniels issued a statement
savin,' the American consul at Smyrna
had been anxious for the safety of the
consulate.
"The Tennessee," added Mr. Daniels
statement, "proceeded to and left Your
lah at the request of Ambassador Mor
genthau ami is now anchored in the
harbor of Chios from which Captain
Decker's telegram was sent."
Secretary Daniels has called upon
Captain Decker to forward immediately
a full report of the incident.
Awaiting More Complete Beport
Captain Decker's report, confirming
last night's news dispatches which of
ficials hoped and believed were inac
curate, left them to-day in a state pf
amused wonder. Every effort is being
made to get more complete reports of
the incident from the Tennessee's com
mander. His report does not say
whether the Tennessee or her launch,
as war reported in news dispatches, had
been fired upon.
Aside from being considered as a
hostile act. the firing may be explained
in various ways. The first report said
the cruiser's launch had been turned
by three shots from the forts as it was
entering the harbor of Smyrna. Of
liiials say the launch may have been
entering during prohibited hours and
the torts may have taken that method
of warning the .-hip against mine fields
in the harbor.
Uneasiness About U. S. Ships
There has been considerable uneasi
res> about the Tennessee and also the
North Carolina, her sister ship, since
they went to Turkish waters to look
after the interests of Americans, at the
end of their voyage to the European
continent with gold for stranded tour
ists. Reports of mishaps to both ships
have been frequent but always have
been disproved bv official dispatches.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
The American flag has been fired
upon by Turkey. A report to the Navy
Department at Washington to-day from
Captain Decker, of the Cruiser Ten
nessee, gave official confirmation to
earlier dispatches from Athens and the
Greek Island of Chios in the Aegean
Sea, to the eftect that Turkish gunners
at Smyrna had opened fire when the
Tennessee was approaching that port.
On the battlefields of Europe there
were few changes of strategic import
ance. The great campaign in the west
apparently has settled down to a series
of detached battles, related only indi
rectly to the main issue. At some points
along the ttOO-mile line there is furious
hand to hand fighting, and elsewhere
comparative inactivity prevails.
To-day's French, official statement
was optimistic in tone, stating that
German attacks, wherever made, had
beeu repulsed, and that the allies had
gained ground at a few points. Along
the Belgian coast the fighting has been
left chiefly to the artillery. Near Bix
schoote, a few miles north of the
French border, there was a fierce en
counter with bayonets, during which
the Zouaves, according to the French
war office, won possession of a forest
which had been contested for several
days.
The fighting in Alsace, which has
been virtually a separate campaign and
concerning which little has been heard,
is said by the French to have told
heavily upon the German forces. The
Landwehr, composed of older Germans,
has beejn used in this district* The
French war office announces that the
Landwher battalions have been with
drawn, as they had lost one-half of
their effective strength.
On the two main battle fronts
from the Belgian sea coast to the Swiss
border and along the eastern boundary
of Germany—renewed efforts were be-

says:
"The British fleet received informa

The Solvay Company's works on the

The Set.et-Bolvay Company has a
coke plant in Steeiton which supplies
illuminating gas for use in Harrisburg.
It is one of a score or more that the
company u: -orates in the Unites) States
and Europe. These plants, in addition
to producing coke, are manufactories of
bi-products. On October 30, last, it was
reported that at least two of the Bel

Harrisburg will have a municipal
Christmas tree celebration again this
year, a big tree covered with electric
lights will again be erected at Front
and Market streets and a large choir
will sing Christmas carols on Christmas
eve.
It may seem late to say that a cele

such a success but it is just what hap
pened. The general committee was so
pleased with the way Harrisburgers in
general enjoyed that affair that they
immediately decided not to disband the
committee but to continue it to plan a
celebration for this year.
This committee will meet in the of
fice of Mayor Royal Friday morning at
11 o 'clock to make preliminary pians.
It may not be definitely decided whose
woodland tract will give up the tree
or who will haul it to the appointed
place, but that is a mer* detail in the
plans. It is more than likely that the
tree will be lighted for the first time
the night before Christmas and be kept
lighted all through Christmas week, in

DROPS DEAD
ON HEARING
CRY OF 'FIRF
Charles P. Treadwell
Killed by Shock to
His Heart Caused by
the Excitement
BABY, 3. SETS
HOUSE ABLAZE
Woman Nurse, Who Attends His
Mother, Extinguishes the Flames
Started When the Youngster Plays
With Box of Safety Matches
Excitement caused by flames in a
house next door where a woman la'-
'ii bed, resulted in the death at g.40
o'clock this morning of Charles P.
Treadwell, 49 years old, a conductor
on the Erie divisiou of the ennsyuva
nia railroad. His lifeless body was
found in the parlor of his home, 51
North Eighteenth street, after he had
returned from the scene of the sligftt
blaze. Heart trouble is given as the
cause of death. Mj. Treadwell had been
suffering from a weak heart for some
time.
Mr. Treadwell was seated at the taaie
in his home eating breakfast when cries
of "fire" from the home of John S.
Hoppes, No. 49 North Eighteenth
street, attracted his attention. He Und
Mrs. Treadwell rushed to the neighbor
ing house prepared to carry out Mrs.
Hoppes from her bed on the second
floor. The fire, whk*h was in the third
door, had bv that time been extinguish
ed bv Miss Klsie l.efckioher, 437 ijoubh
Seventeenth street, who was nursing
Mrs. Hoppes.
There being no further dnngeT, Mr.
Treadwell returned to his home where
his daughter, Martha, a few minutes
later, found him dead in tfhe parlor
where he must have fallen juft after
returning. The excitement of the fire
was too severe a tax on his heart.
The fire in the Hoppes home was
started by James K. Hoppes. 3 years
old, who was at play in the third floor.
He had obtained a box of safety
matches and when he struck one, fire
flew to a pile of rubbish and broken
toys, starting a blaze. He boy ran
down stairs to his mother's room, sav
ing that the house was afire. Miss
Labkicher shouted to the neighbors and
rhen went to the third floor where she
tthrew some water on the blaze. In the
meantime a telephone call had been
sent to the Mt. Pleasant Pi re Company.
The firemen responded, but did not have
to go into service.
The quick work on the part of the
nurse in putting out the blaze made
the carrying of Mrs. Hoppes from her
bed unnecessary. The excitement made
Mrs. Hoppes very nervous and she suf
fered slightly from shocji, but soon aft
erward it was evident she would ex
perience no serious reaction. Mr.
Hoppes is a stenographer in.the employ
of f-ht> Public Service Commission.
Mr. Tread well had been in the employ
of the Pennsylvania railroad for many
years, having occupied many positions
in the train service and finally being
promoted to condu-ctoT. He ran between
this city and Renovo. He leaves a
widow and one daughter, Martha.
SCALDED AS COFFEE EXPLODES
Pennsy Employe Severely Burned When
Lid Blows Off of Can
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
Middletown, Pa., Nov. 18.—When
the lid of a molasses can in which he
was boiling coffee on a stove, was blown
off last evening, David Mark, 28 years
old, of this place, was so severely
scalded about the face and hands that
he was sent to the Columbia Hospital
for treatment. His injuries are pain
ful but not dangerous.. It is believed
that his sight will not be permanently
injured.
Mark until three months ago was a
jockey employed by D. B. Kieffer, of
Middletown. Since then he has been em
ployed with one of the maintenance of
way crews of the Pennsylvania Bail
road in Middletown. He had gone to
the cabin of his train for a meal when
the accident occurred. The lid had
been tightly placed on the can, making
it air tight, and the boiling coffee gen
erated sufficient steam to cause the ex
plosion when h e was about to raise the
lid.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST CATS
IN GREEN ST. UNCOVERED
Six From One Household Vanish by
the Poison Boute and "Ted," a
Trick Collie Dog, Barely Escapes
an Untimely End
The attempted poisoning of "Ted,''
a Scotch collie, making its home at
1812 Green street, brought to light to
day a condition which resident# of tho
vicinity say has existed there for the
last eight or ten years. Oats in great
numbers, they say, have come to horri
ble deaths. Somebody manifestly has
been feeding the animals poison.
'"Ted." a trick dog, was brought to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Ir
win, at the Green street address, throe
weeks ago by their daughter, Mrs.
Ralph K. Stecklev, of Philadelphia. The
dog had taken up its residence there
but a few days when something evi
dently began to trouble it inside.
'' Ted'' gave way to grief.
A doctor was summoned and it was
found that the pet had been poisoned.
Foi more than two weeks the patient
has received treatment, and is now able
to lie about. "Ted" was taken for
a walk this morning, around the block,
and showed signs of improvement. The
doctor has hopes of "Ted's" recov
ery.
"Ted" is the first dog in the neigh
borhood upon whose lito an .attempt
has been made, so far as the Irwins
know, but residents testify that many
oats have left the world by the sudden
poison route. Six cats from the Irwin
household alone, it is said, have mot
horrible deaths through poisoning.
The neighborhood lias become so
much worried because of these fata I i
tics that residents seldom permit dogs
or oats, if they have any left, to ap
pear unaccompanied on the street.
