Feature of Millersburg Rally

Millersburg, Pa, Nov. {. - Millers-
last night, bringing the campaign to
a close with a rally that crowded the
Lyric theater to the doors, with zoe
people trying to get in who could not,
and which lasted until IL o'clock. 1t
was the largest and most enthusiastic
rally in the political history of the
town.
Harry NJ. Fairchilds, one of the best
known Republicans in Dauphin coun-
ty and general favorite here, was
the presiding officer and the Millers-
burg band played. Addresses were

Meyer, formerly q resident of this
place: Ira f. Ulsh, and David j.
Bechtold, candidates for the Legisla-
ture; Senator E. E. Beidleman and
Congressman Aaron S. Kreider.

the very start and scarcely person
left during the three and one-half
hours which the speakers occupied
with discussion of the campaign. Mr..
U1sh is a well-known resident of this
town and when he was called upon
to speak he received an ovation that
spoke we'll for his vote in Millersburg
to-day. In the audience were many
sonfe- children them
Mrs. Ulsh with little "Bobbie" Ulsh,
the four-year-o son of the candidate.
AS Mr.. Ulsh stepped forward on the
platform "Bobbie" spoke right out in
the meeting. 'Why, there's Dad" he
cried to his mother and then Hello.
Dad" The big audience cheered for
"Bobbie" and the irrepressible insisted
upon climbing up on the stage. where
he sat on Senator Beidleman's knee
and waved flag for the remainder of
the evening.
After the meeting Mr.. and Mrs.
Fairchild entertained Senator Beidle-
man, Congressman Kreider and the
others of the campaign party at lunch
at their home

Little Ground For Protest !:
in Sinking of Lanao

Washington, Nov. 7. In the ab-
sence to-day of Secretary Lansing and
other high officials of the State De-
partment the course of the United
States in dealing with the case of the
steamer Lanao sunk by a submarine
October 2S off the Portuguese coast
was undetermined. The department
was without official advices from con-
sular or diplomatic officers on details
of the sinking. On the strength OF
press dispatches officials here werA
inclined to believe there Is but little
ground for an American protest since
the ship carried contraband. was
warned and her crew transferred
without accident. -:
The question of her registry ap-
parently is the only troublesome fac

American captain that she was under.

lean flag when sunk the official view
at the Department of Commerce which
handles changes of registry, was that
the Lanao had been sold by the Find.

"Toots" Gates May Have to
Answer to Charge of
Numbering Lover

Fighting for breath with lungs and
throat blistered by the flames he had
inhaled, Henry Robinson. on his
death bed at the Harrisburg Hospital,
gasped his story to County Detective
James T. Walters. If at the coroner's
inquest Thursday evening Name Gates
is held accountable for Robinson's
oeath, then the dying mans statement
will likely be used against her to sup
port the States charge of murder.
Detective Walters obtained Robin
sons statement shortly after he had
been brought in from n South Harris
burg house where he had been so Sc
verely burned that the hospital au-
thorities didn't expect him to live. He
had mentioned Name. or 'Toots,"
Gates, one-time sweetheart, in his
rawlings and the county officer thought
it wisest to get statement.
Robinson gasped his story in a
voice so low that the detective had to
bend far over the cot; again and again

his eyes. And some time Saturday
