TENNESSEE INCIDENT
NOT HOSTILE ACT"
Full Report First Received by the
Navy Department Not
Made Public

Washington, ID. c.. Nov 21.-After
an announcement from the White
House to-day that word had come
from Captain Decker, of the cruiser
Tennessee, that the firing of the Turk
ish forts at Smyrna upon the cruisers S
launch on November II was not hos
tile, Secretary Daniels announced that
q portion of Captain Decker's first re.
port had not been made public when
received because it was considered
contradictory.
Secretary Daniels announced that
Captain Decker's dispatch reporting
tho firing contained the words "act
not hostile, but unfriendly."
The Navy Department announce
ment omitted the contradictory phrase,
according to Mr.. Daniels, in order to
verify it, and to-day came word that
the message was correct as originally
sent. Secretary Daniels was unable to
explain it's meaning and said that 1t
seemed to him an expression of opinion
by the captain of the Tennessee with
out exact knowledge Of what took
place on shore.
At the White House the statement
issued said Captain Decker had re-
ported the firing as mot hostile act"
The view being taken that the first
part of the phrase meant that the
shots were not aimed to take effect,
btu as a warning because the port of
Smyrna was mined and closed.
Secretary Daniels said he had re-
ceived no further messages from Cap
tain Decker since the first report and
that he assumed the commander was

BRUMBAUCH SENDS
TEACHERS GREETINGS
Too Much Slang Used by m
structors, Declares Insti-
tute Teacher

DIR. O. II. Corson, one of the speak
ers at the nineteenth annual city
teachers institute. to-day brought
greetings to the teachers of the city
from Governor-elect Martin G.. Brum-
baugh.
DIR. Corson then gave an interesting
address on the Teachers Language"
He said that the trouble with the peo-
pie that use the English language is
that they use too much slang and too
many eXaggerations of speech.
He ridiculed the plans of men To
create a universal language because
English is the human language and it
is only a question of q few years until
it will be the one in universal USE"
He went on to say that the colleges
should drop some of the classics and
study the English of Abraham Lin
coin. He scoffed at the meaningless
books that are written by some men
and said that simplicity in the use of
language makes it worth while.
AS a summary of the style of good
use of words he gave a few facts about
Lincoln's address on the battlefield of
Gettysburg.
This is the best speech that was
ever made. and is translated into more
foreign tongues than any other one
that has been delivered. It is known
over the entire world as the best ex-
ample of the use of words that mean
something"
DR.. Corson highly praised the book,
''The Making of the Teacher" written
by DR.. Brumbaugh.
The city institute met at LIS this
afternoon so that the teachers had
time to attend the Tech-Steelton game
on the island at 3 O'Clock.
The Capacity of Definition" and
Measuring Piece of Literature"
were the subjects of two addresses
given by DIR. Arthur H. Harrop, of
Meadville, Pa, in which he explained
the proper study of English grammar
and how to teach It,
Music for the institute was furnished
by the victrola presented the high
school by the IA class and Professor
E. G. Rose played several splendid
selections, among them several of the
marches used by the European armies
that are at war.
The fourth meeting of the institute
for the Harrisburg teachers will be
held January 23 and the last one
March II, 1915.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
ON STATE HIGHWAY
Elmer A. McKinney's Body Is
Found by Minister at
Quarryville
Special to The Telegraph

Marietta, Pa, Nov. 21.-While on
a visit to his wife who is quarantined
at the home of her father, because OF
a serious case of diphtheria, Elmer A.
young man of Quarry
yille, was killed last night in mys-
terious manner, presumably by an au-
tomobile His dead body with the
head badly crushed was found lying in
a pool of blood in the middle of the
State road in Quarryville by the Rev.
Thomas r. Crooks, pastor of the
Methodist Church, who was returning
from Mount Hope, where he conducted
revival services. About the same time
the Rev. Alexander Thompson and
George Trimbell approached. The
body was carried to the home of Jacob
Diem, and an investigation will follow.
1t was thought this morning that he
may have been killed by highwaymen,
but indications point to the automo-
bile theory. He was 28 years old and
is survived by his wife and two small
children. Mrs. Mckinney is on the
verge of collapse.

COMMISSION PUTS
OUT ITS SIDE Of IT
Tells What 1t VIII Do in Regard to
the Complaints About the
Fare Increases

The Public Service Commission of
Pennsylvania has no power to supsend
the proposed increase of rates of the
railroad companies, but the act Great
ing the commission does provide that
the commission may require the COM
panies to issue to thei rpatrons a GER
'tiicte or other evidence of payments
made by them in excess of the prior
established rate of increase. of which
rate notice shall be given to the COM
mission and the public.
The probability is that the commits
sion will require the railroad COM
panies to furnish the evidence of in
crease, in order that in the event of
the increase being held by the COM
mission to be unreasonable or excess
sive, each passenger may be in a po-
sition to establish the amount of repa-
ration he is justly entitled to under
the reparation claues of the statute.
The following protests were re-
ceived to-day:
A. C. Wood, Norwood, who says
they can never get any improvements
in Norwood for the reason they have
so many free riders.
Edward X. Box, president Merton
Civic Association, who blames the In
ter-state Commerce Commission for
suggesting the increase of rates.

Drop Forge Works of Chester.
