CITY HOMES ARE
TO.BE OPEN FOR
GUESTS IN KHAKI
Holiday Dinner 10 Be Served
Through Agency of
Red Cross

Hungry, homesick soldiers and
sailors who visit Harrisburg on
Thanksgiving Day will be furnished
with Il real. honest ito goodness,
homemade holiday dinner through
the agency of the Harrisburg Chap
ter. American Red Cross. The organ
ization will act as agent. receiving
the names of families who wish to
entertain soldiers for the Thanksgiv-
ing Day meal.
This action was announced to-day
by Mrs. Walter Spofford, acting sec
retary of the local chapter, follow
ing scores of requests from families
who wish TO bring cheer to some
hungry lads in khaki Ii was de-
cided by Red Cross officials that in
asmuch as hundreds of soldiers will
be here Thanksgiving Day there
should be families to take care OF
them. Therefore, registrations will
be accepted at Red Cross headquar-
ters in the basement of the Harris
burg Public Library.
Because Harrisburg is very near
three big government operations, it
is believed the number of boys in
khaki spending Thanksgiving Day
here will be very large. Besides the
number from the two depots at Mid
dletown and the one at Marsh Run,
there are number expected from
Camp Colt and other points. No idea
of the number of soldiers expected
could be given, but it is believed
there will be a great many. I'VE are
planning to give the boys touch of
home" it was stated.
The Hostess House of the Civic
Club will be open afternoon and
evening, and following the big din
ners, there will he plenty of activity
in that direction, workers promise.

GATHER PUTS
IN AN OBJECTION
Former Public Service Com
missioner Presents Point of
Law to Auditor General

Auditor General Charles \. snyder
to-day received the protest Of Wal
ter II. Gather against paying any
money by the State Defense Com
mission for employment of the Gov
ernor anyone else as historian of the
war, but as there was nothing be-
fore him in the way of requisition
made no comment or indication OF
his course. The Governor would be
unable to receive any compensation
while holding his present office.
The War Board" is supposed to
meet this week to discuss the mat
ter but members refuse to say what
action will be taken. The idea is said
10 have the place made effective
when the Governors term expires.
Mr.. Gathers letter to the Auditor
General. sent by his attorney, Charles
&. Stroh. of this city, and his state
ment in the matter, are as follows;
"As a taxpayer and citizen of this
Commonwealth. | protest in the
strongest manner against the pay
ment of any sum of money for the
contemplated preparation and COM
pilation of Pennsylvania part in the
recent war from the fund created by
the Act of May l5, 1871 which act
limits the expenditures of the Com
] am advised that under this law you
have no authority to permit such eN-
penditure. 1t Is our duty as chief
fiscal officer of the Comm onwealth to
such payment. as we believe the
courts will uphold this portion il
proper application is made thereto.
Acting as taxpayer explained
Mr.. Gather, and under right vest
ed in any citizen of the Common
wealth. l served this notice on the
Auditor General, in whose judgme mt
/ have perfect confidence. | have
been guided entirely by my attorney
in the matter. The question involved
] am Informed. is very simple. The
act of May -. 1917, creating "A Com
mission of Public Safety and Defense
on the question Of employment goes
not further than this:
-" The commission is authorized to
employ such stenographical and cleri-
cal help as may be deemed necessary
and to fiN compensation of such help
"AS We see IL there Is nothing to
prevent the Commission from electing
historian, or whatever the Office
may be known by. but the law GER
tainly does not permit the payment
of a salary in connection Herewith
and the question who may be chosen
has noting to do with the legal phase
Of the matter
we all believe that "A history of
PENNSYLVANIA in the war should be
written. This may come within the
scope of the Pennsylvania Historical
Commission or some other authorized
body; II not the coming Legislature
may see fit to enact law on the sub
1ect.

tary of the Dauphin County Branch

testify, to be used for any emergency

duty"

Reading Passenger Wrecked
by Running Into Switch

a wreck occurred ON the Philadel-
phiad and Reading Railway at White
Hill. saturday afternoon. when a
passenger train on its way from this
city ran into an open switch, derail-
ing one car. Although a number of
persons were rather badly shaken up

Three freight cars. loaded with
food, had been run on to a siding
near White Hill. After the cars had
been placed on the siding. the switch
was left open, it is said. The pas
senger train coming ran into this
open switch and crashed into the
draft of freight cars, derailing one
of the passenger cars, but otherwise
doing little damage.
