Recommendations


The Board recommends:
That the present force of the board
employed at Perth Amboy and vicin-
about se~venty-six civilians, be contin-
ued for the purpose of completing
the ~appraisals, hearings and definite
records or as much of this force as
the board deems to the best interest
of the United States. 1t is estimated
that the board can complete its work
about February 20, 1919. For this
a further allotment of funds
not to exceed twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25, 000. oo) for expenses af-
ter January /, 1919, is needed. BY
continuously keeping up the work of
this character as now under way, up
on passage of an appropriation the
claims can be readily paid with safe
ty and promptness by whatever dis
bursting authority may be designated.
That the board be continued up to
the 4th of March. 1919, for the above
purposes, so that the persons familiar
with the methods this board has
claims, guarding against illegal,
fraudulent or excessive claims, may
be utilized and the same placed at
the disposal of the disbursing agent
used to disburse any funds that may
be appropriated by congress-.

Veterans Plan Big Rally
TO Aid American Legion
Problem to Select Name

At a luncheon of the first men,
bers of Post 27, American Legion,
at the Penn Harris to-day, plans Tor
a membership campaign were dis
cussed. The most important step
taken was the decision to hold a
large mass meeting next Thursday
night in the courthouse.
Themass meeting will be open to
every soldier, sailor. marine, or
nurse of Harrisburg who was in the
service at any time between the
declaration of war and the signing
of the armistice. Several we'll
known speakers will be present TO
address the meeting and it is hoped
to get out every service man and
woman in the city.
Colonel j. B. Kemper, Lieutenant
Colonel Edward Schell, Captain
Harry NJ. Slime and others spoke at
the luncheon to-day, which was
presided over by Captain E. j.
Stackpole. Jr Captain Stackpole
recruited before the convention of
the Pennsylvania posts which will
take place here the I'd, Sd and 4th

Colonel Kemper put forward IS
suggestion for a post name that
it be named after the highest rank
ing officer from Harrisburg VINO
died during the last war. If this
suggestion is adopted after the for
nation of the post, it will be called
Lieutenant Colonel Frank e5. Zieg-
Ter Post. Colonel Schell and Cap

fighting on all fronts. Before pro-
ceeding. Bullitt said he asked Colo
mel House a number of questions on
the American position and House
told him, he said. that if the Boil
sheVlk were ready to stop fighting
and declared an armistice the United
States would approve.
Bullltt was in Russia one week
and on his return to Paris sent a re-
port to President Wilson.
There was serious discussion Of
conditions in Russia and the oues-
ton of withdrawing troops, Bullitt
testified, and it was because of this
that he was directed to proceed to
Petrograd.
From Helsingfors Bullitt sent
confidential kilograms to the Pres
ident. Secretary Lansing and Colo
mel House, explaining conditions as
he found them, and saying Lenine
and others associated with him real
lied the need of peace. They were
ready, he said, to pay their foreign
debts. Asked how this informa-
ton was received by the American
mission, Bullitt replied:
Colonel House wrote me a tele-
gram of congratulation, but because
it was signed House and Mission it
was not sent. The Colonel gave
TO me when I got back to Paris.

New Jersey of active preparations
to send Regular Army troops here
if an emergency call should be made.
Military leaders estimated that 49,
900 regulars could reach the city
within twelve hours.
Seven Deaths
The death list as a direct result of
the strike, now in its third day, stood
to-day at seven. Several of the IA
talities were due to firing by guards
men into mobs found breaking win
dows and looting stores, while two
resulted from efforts of soldiers to
break up dice games which during
the first two days were played open
ly in the streets and on Boston
common. Another of the dead vas
a striking policeman shot down by a
storekeeper who feared his place
of business was about to be sacked.
The action of the constituent
bodies of the Central Labor Union
on the question of going out in sup
port of the policemen was being
awaited with some uncertainty.
Leaders of the Central Labor
Union had told Mayor Peters yes
terday, they were anxious to avert
a general strike. With that in
mind. those in close touch with the
situation were inclined to believe
that the leaders did not wish to
encourage drastic action before as
certaining the sentiment of all the
affiliated unions.
Announcement of the result of
the union meeting was the climax
Of day and evening, which, aside
from sporadic and brief disturb
ances, had passed quietly in COM
parison with Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights.
The only serious disturbances last
night up to a late hour was in the
Jamaica Plain district, where
guardsmen fred on a crowd which
had been participating in a dice
game and refused to disperse.
Henry Groat, 20 years old, was kill
ed, and two men were wounded.
Wounded Policemen Dies
Richard D. Reemts, striking
policemen who was shot yesterday
morning, died at a hospital last
night. According to police officials,
Reemts was shot by a shopkeeper
who thought he was bent on loot
ing his place of business.
Robert Lallie also died at a hos
pital last night, making the seventh
death traceable to disturbances dur
lIS Iue StTlhe. he was WOunOSu
when guards fired into a mob in
South Boston last night. About fifty
persons are being treated in hos
pitals for injuries received in riots.
Mayor Peters. in statement,
pledged his loyal, earnest and COM
plete' support" to the governor.
In the outward aspect of build
ings in the center of the city the
resem blance to a place besieged,
was even stronger than last night.
Shop after shop, instead of brilliant
ly lighted window displays, showed
a blank wall. Thousands of feet of
lumber had been nailed across the
windows before nightfall.
But the enemy was within the
gates and surging through the
streets in hand-to-hand conflict with
the defenders. Last night it was
as if the foe had been driven out,
but the guardians OF the town were
on the alert for another attack.
In place of noisy, jeering crowds
in the squares and narrow streets,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-12

have not admitted that they would
make further concessions. At the
same time influential persons have
urged that the Governor refuse to
deal with the strikers at all and in
the event of sympathetic strikes by
the firemen, electrical workers, car
men, telephone operators and the
building trades, advised him to call
for Federal troops and fight the is
sue to the bitter end.
The Governors intimation that
the fate of the striking policemen,
so far as the State was concerned,
was in the hands of Police Commits
sioner Curtis led to inquiries at the
latter's Office about his position. The
commissioner could not be reached
but his counsel, James H. Devlin,
Jr., said: In my opinion the police
men who left their posts have worn
the uniform of the Boston police
force for the last time. While the
com missioner has not acted on this
particular point of reinstatement I
feel certain that the men who struck
have separated themselves finally
from the department"
Want Reinstatement
The matter of requests for rein
statement already has come up, ac-
cording to Superintendent OF Police
Crowley, who said that a number of
the striking officers had applied for
restoration to duty.
Except for the presence of troops
and many boarded up windows, the
streets appeared normal to-day.
Some reorts have exaggerated the
situation. The citizens of Boston
do not appear to be terrorized and
business is going on as usual.
Mayor Peters was indignant to-
day because of some reports which
he had received from out of town.
He said: In three days of the
strike I have not heard of a single
case of indecency committed upon
women. l deplore a tendency in
some quarters to distort the facas."
Dice Games Broken
The dice games who flourished for
a time had been pretty much broken
up to-day and traffic was moving
without serious mplications. A
few arrests were made. Five men
were captured when a volunteer Of
ficer jumped upon the running board
of an automobile in which they were
getting away Two jimmies and
other burglar tools, a flashlight and
supply of cartridges were found
in the bottom of the car. Two of
the men, who were armed, were
charged with carrying concealed
weapons and the three others were
held as suspicious persons.
Soldiers of the State Guard con-
tinued in charge of the streets, aid
ed by the force of volunteer police
men and such members of the regu-
lar force as had refused to desert
their posts. Little difficulty was ex-
perienced in breaking up the crowds,
except in one or two sections.
