correspondent of the "Telegraph" in
Petrograd reports the capture of Gum

the Russians. He says:
"Although official dispatches only

Giunibinnen after a battle lasting five
days, the Cossacks being the heroes of

MRS. LABAREE IS SAFE NOW
Letter From Daughter of Samuel W.
Fleming, Shows She Is In Tabriz,
Out of Probable War Zone
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Fleming
received a letter on Saturday from
their daughter, Mrs. Mary Fleming La
baree, who has been in Persia as a
missionary. The letter was five weeks
on its journey here, which was not long
considering the chaotic conditions
abroad.
Mrs. Labaree wrote that she was in
no special danger where she was at the
time, — in Tabriz—but that Urumia,
her former home, was suffering from
incursions from the Kurds who fre
quently rush down from the surround
ing mountains and invade the town.
The Labarees went to Tabriz some
little time ago, the greater safety of
that city being a strong element in
•favor of the change.
Mr. Fleming said it hardly seems
probable that the war zone will include
the present quarters of Mr. and Mrs.

Court Hears Tales of Prisoners Who

—One Man Asserts He Could Eat

Martin Simmons, a smooth-tongued
individual, tried to impress Judge Kun

a'' hard luck'' story as an excuse for
going into a room in the Commonwealth
Hotel and walking out with another
man's suitcase. Judge Kunkel was not
impressed, however, and Simmons got
a penitentiary term of not less than one
year and not more than three. The
suitcase belonged to a student who had
come to Harrisburg to attend the Buck

As Simmons was being led away from
the bar by a Deputy Sheriff, Judge
Kunkel advised the defendant:
"Tell your tricks of smartness to
someone else! "
"What was 1 to dof Lay down and
die?" snarled Simmons.
"Go on, go on," said the Judge,
waving a hand toward the prisoner.
Simmons told the court that his hav

pocket when apprehended by the police
had no particular significance. He said
he walked the stre#ts of the city for
two days and two nights, without get

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
At two points in the battle line ex
tending across France and Belgium the
Germans were making determined ef
forts to-day to break their way
through, while at the same time a crit
ical struggle was under way in Bussian
Poland.
To-day's French statement said that
Ypres, Belgium, the point selected for
the new German attempt to force a way
through to the channel, the ar
tillery fire yesterday was violent and
that many buildings were set on fire.
The region of the Argonne forest,
well on toward the eastern end of the
line, where the Germans are centering
another severe attack, the fighting yes
terday was described as "very hot,"
and it is said that the German on
slaughts were replsed. Bheims and
Soissons also were under bombardment,
with what effect is not disclosed.
The German official statement speaks
of the severe fighting at Ypres, and
also says that a British squadron's at
tempt to bombard Nieilport was re
pulsed twice.
In the Argonne region, it is said, the
Germans aye gaining ground slowly.
The renewed efforts of the Germans
in the west notwithstanding the effects
of the cold, wet weather, which was
said to make fighting in the lowlands
almost an impossibility, attracted re
newed attention to the western field of
battle. The struggle between the Rus
sians and Austro-German forces in the
east, however, was still rated as of
greater immediate importance, because
of the influence the outcome is expected
to exert upon the whole future course
of the war. From this quarter came
no definite news to-day. Berlin was
confident oi an early decisive victory,
but the War Office there acknowledged
to-day that the arrival of Russian re-

Lewis Howard's Hands and Arm Ter

Even Worse Injuries but Will Prob

Saving the life of his sister whose
clothing was in flames, Lewis Howard,
21 years old, son of Professor and /Mrs.
Charles F. Howard, 221 North Sec

hero this morning, but was frightfully
burned about the hands and arms. The
girl was even more terri'bly 'burned but
will probably recover.
The sister, 'Mary Elizabeth Howard,
16 years, had gone to the bathroom of
the Howard home shortly before 8.30
o'clock and was arranging her hair pre
paratory to going to school. In the room
was a low gas stove which was lighted.
The girl's skirt came in contact with
the blaze and in an instant the whole
garment was on fire. Her brother heard
the girl scream. He was on the first
floor and hastened up the stops, two at
a time. ,
When he arrived in the bathroom he
saw t/e flames encircling his sister.
VVithout hesitation he went to her as
sistance and not having time to oMain
'a rug or blanket to place around the
•burning girl, ho started beating out the
blaze with his hands, at the same time
tearing the clothing from her body.
This was finally accomplished, but
not until the girl had 'been seriously
(burned from 'below her knees to her
breast. The young man emerged from
the battle with t'he flames with both
hands and his right wrist so badly
burned that the skin hung in shreds.
Dr. Benjamin B. Jeffers was sum
moned and it required several hours to
relieve the sufferings of the brother and
sister. The 'boy's father is a teacher in
one of the S'teelton schools.

Murder Case
Six of the thirty-nine witnesses who
will appear for the Commonwealth in

with having murdered his grandfather,
John E. Bush, in Inglenook, on June
3, last, are Pittsburg'hers. County De

to the "Smoky City" to serve the
subpoenas.
The Smith trial, according to the
plans of District Attorney ijtroup, will
open one week from to-day. The Pitts
burgh witnesses will include the city
and railroaid policemen who figured in
the apprehension of Smith in the
Pittsburgh passenger station shortly
after Bush was found murdered in the
ashes of his Inglcnook cottage.
County Detective Walters, also it is
expected, will go on the witness stand
to testify against Smith. The detective
it is said, will confine his remarks to a
conversation he had with the accused
while on the way here from Pitts
burgh.

The cold weather continues its as

night. According to information sent
in to the local office of the Weather
Bureau, a snow flurry occurred here

A minimum temperature of twenty

In most cases the breaks are within a

Authorities
At least Harriaburg's part in the
concerted national attack 011 turkey
nejt Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, will
not be damaging to the enemy. Carv
ing knives that did valiant work a year
ago will not be brought into play to
the same extent this year, according to
disheartening stories of commission
merchants in this city. Old High-Cost
of-Living has taken a new lease on
life and decrees that liis majesty, the
turkey, can be enjoyed only by the
opulent, or, at least, the well-to-do.
In dressed form, turkeys will cost
30 cents a pound, an increase of 5
cents a pound over the prevailing
prices of last year, the commission men
say. There are practically no turkeys
in town as yet awaiting the purchaser,
but many persons are ordering them
ahead of time and 30 cents is the price
merchants are quoting to them. While
the quality of the available turkeys is
about the same as last year, the quan
tity of them is not such that persons
can hope for an eleventh hour reduc
tion in price.
Merchants expect to have ape trou
ble in filling orders. One of the 'biggest
merchants in the city this morning
had this to say of this year's supply:
"Most of o'ui birds for Harrisburg
will come from Virginia, a few from
Perry county, but not many from Dau
phin. This year if a farmer has a flock
of ten or twelve he is lucky. We
have been compelled to buy the birds
wherever wo can get them—a few here
and a few there. The birds are scarce
through this section and were it not
for the Virginia and Vermont supply
the demand could not nearly be met,
even at the higher figure."
Hope of getting the Thanksgiving
bird through the turkey-raffle has about
vanished, as there are not enough tur
keys to be "had in any one place to
make a fair-sized raffle pay. The po
lice have raided no raffles "thus far in
Harrisburg and no news of any operat
ing near tho city limits has come to
the ears of local officials.
