Knows What IL Means
A large majority of the men who
ore In the army are smokers and
tobacco Is almost as essential to them
as food. Army and navy surgeons
know of the comfort and peace of
smoke and the use of the weed Is not
prohibited. Intoxicants have been
forbidden. but tobacco has been
placed among the necessities, and
the people of Harrisburg are doing
tretr part to furnish these smokes
with the aid of the Telegraph. 1t is
estimated that 25 cents will keep one
boy In khaki happy for q week. One
dollar will keep four boys comfort
able for week or one boy happy
for four weeks.

Harrisburg Liquor and
Gun Gets Him in Trouble

Edward A. Furlong. of Coatesville,
is sorry that he decided to try little
Harrisburg liquor. He hadn't taken
drop for more than year. he told
Alderman Lands in court yesterday,
and more to the point, he has decided
to again take the pledge.
Furlong, who is a prosperous mas
ter bricklayer, was in Harrisburg on
his way from Middletown, Ohio. He
planned to meet his wife here, and to
put in the time, he took a few drinks
at local bar.
In Pittsburgh he had purchased a
revolver for his son. When somewhat
under the influence of liquor, accord /
ing to the mans story, he put the re-
vClYer in hip pocket and started out
to look the town over. At Third and
Cherry streets an officer picked up
Furlong. on a charge of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons.
Furlong was represented by counsel
in court yesterday, and because he
told a straight story he was permitted
to go with a fine of $25. which was
cheerfully paid

Chlhuahua City, Sept. 70. = FRAN
cisco Villa believes he is entitled to
honors from the government as the
one who did most to put down the
Huerta regime in Mexico, according
to a letter made public here, as writ
ten by Villa to General Francisco
Murguia, in which the former asked
guarantees of amnesty.
Villa complained bitterly because
he and his small band were being in
cessantly pursued by government
troops after they ceased military op-
erations.
The letter said villa considers him
self a valuable citizen.
Villa and his thirty followers were
situated between 1nde and Hacienda

out as a result of charges made by
1sadore Stern. member of the State
Legislature, to the effect that he had
forewarned the mayor of the impor-
tation of the gunmen
Stern charged that Mayor Smith ig-
nored his appeal for protection in
the ward in the face OF proof that
the gunmen were responsible for the
attack upon the Finletter Republican
Club few hours before Policeman
F!ppley was slain and two other men
badly beaten. The mayor denied that
he had any knowledge that the men
were to be brought here and declared
he was ready for any warrant of
arrest. "All the power of my admin
istration." he added, will be used
to assist the district attorneys office
in ferreting out the crime and fix
it's responsibility upon the real GRIM
inals."
Stirs Whole City
The affair has aroused the city as
probably no other of a similar nature
in its history and in addition to the
investigation by District Attorney
Rotan, inquiries were under way to-
day by the coroner, the detective bu-
reau. the police department and the
Citizens Committee. After an exam
ination of witnesses to the shooting,
which continued virtually all night,
Rotan implicated that the killing OF
Eppley was wi hout provocation. 81
found" he said, Outrageous condi-
tions in the Fifth ward. 1t seems
that six or eight men committed this
assault absolutely without provoca-
tion and only two have been arrested.
There is no question but that these
gunmen were brought here by some
body for a definite purpose"
The district attorney said the pris-
oners. Jacob Mascia, 23 years old, and
John Costello, %, had confessed they
were brought here to vote for Isaac
Deutsch. rival candidate of James A.
Carey. whose life was also attempted.
but that they had denied the shoot
ing. Mascia is held on the charge OF
murder and Costello as an accessory.
