First Moonshine Case
Brought Before Judge
Winners Federal Court

The first moonshine case ever
brought in this district was present
ed to-day at the afternoon session
of the United States District Court,
which Judge Wilmer is holding in
the Federal Building. Since July L
numerous instances of this Illicit
making and sale of liquor have oc-
Cured in other parts of the country,
but never before in this judicial dis
trict.
Vincent Basile. formerly u saloon
keeper in Pittston, was discovered
by Federal agents to be running a
still at Harding, LuZerne county,
about five miles from Pittston. Sam
Safe, former barkeeper of Basile's,
was operating the place, but Sam was
too quick and managed to get away
when the Pittston police and Fed
eral agents descended on the place.
Basile was indicted for aiding and
abetting the operation of an illicit
still.
1t is said that the manner in
which the still was first discovered
was by the tremendous amounts of
molasses which were being contract
ed for by Basile.

Fuel Regulations Not
Received in This City;
River Coal Is Big Help

Belief that no coal regulations will
be imposed on Harrisburg. was to-
day expressed by Ross A. Hickok.
Mr.. Hickok. however, was speaking
in an unofficial capacity. since he has
not been reappointed fuel admins
TRAITOR He does not expect any one
will be named for the place.
By reason of the city's large con-
sumption of electric power furnished
by the Susquehanna river, and of riv-
er coal, it is not expected by him that
any local regulation will be necessary
for this district.
Certain industries may have their
supply of fuel curtailed, but il is ex-
pected that this will not be the duty
OF any local official. No notice of
any regulation has thus far been re-
ceived by the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company. according to II. Root
Palmer. general manager.

Message to Congress
To the Senate and House OF Representatives

! sincerely regret that l cannot be
present at the opening of this ses-
sion of the Congress. am thus
prevented from presenting in as di-
rect n way as could wish the many
questions that are pressing for So

Urges Budget
] hope that Congress will bring
to a conclusion at this session legis-
lation looking to the establishment
of u budget system. That there
should be one single authority re-
sponsible for the making of all ap-
preparations and that applications
should be made not independently
of each other but with reference to
expenditure properly related to the
nations income there can be no
doubt. I belieTe tie burden of pre-
pairing the budget must in the nature
of the case, Il the work is to be
properly done aud responsibility

upon the executive. The budget so
prepared should hc submitted to and
approved or amended by a single
committee of each house of Con-
gress, and no single appropriation
should be made by the Congress, ex-
cept such as may have been includ-
ed in the budget prepared by the
executive or added by the particular
committee of Congress charged with
the budget legislation.
Highly Trained Auditors
Another and not less Important
aspect of the problem is the ascer-
tainment of the economy and effic-
iency with which the moneys ap-
propriated are expended. Under ex.
listing law the only audit is for the
purpose of ascertaining whether ex.
penditures have been lawfully made

ASH COLLECTION
BREAKING DOWN,
COUNCIL IS TOLD
Conditions Are Almost as Bad
Now as They Were
in 1917

Charges that the ash collection sys-
tenn in the city is not much better
now than it was a few years ago
when backwards all over the city
were piled high with boxes and 9TH
receptacles filled with refuse, were
made in Council to-day to Commis-
sioner 5. f. Hassler.
Commissioner W. ii. Lynch, when
an ordinance was called for final pas
sage, appropriating $4,000 more for
ash collections this year, said he was
re ceiving many complaints daily, the
seme as a few years ago. He told
the other Councilmen that the bureau
OF ash and garbage inspection should
follow a regular schedule for ash col
Iections as required in an ordinance
passed last year.
Commissioner Hassler explained
that ash collections had not been
made regularly during the last few
weeks because of lack of equip
ment, which had been ordered. but
has not been delivered yet. He said
the bureau attempted to do the work
for $4,000. but found that it would
be impossible to complete the year
with that amount some of it having
been used during the summer to buy
horses and wagons.
Mr.. Lynch and other Councllmen
said they were not opposed to pro-
viding more revenue for the bureau.
but did want the collections made on
a regular schedule during the
winter months, so that there would
be no further complaints about mu-
nicipal service.
The ordinance appropriating $4,000
to the ash collection bureau was
.l..A .Nats Il
$4,000 to the fire department contin-
gent fund and $4,000 to be used to pay
for laying underground police and
fire alarm connections for the city.

POOR CHILD WORKS HARD
TO EARN RED CROSS FUND
Youngsters Turn Every Energy TO Helping Those More Tn
fortunate Than Themselves

Out near Cameron street at the
edge of what is known as the dump,
in "a little two-roomed house lives a
small girl who goes to one of the
third grade schools. When her
teacher told her how the Junior
Red Cross money was used, part of
it to help the little sufferers in other
lands and part of it to help make the
little crippled girls and boys here
at home strong and well. she at
once proceeded to earn her quarter
to become a junior Red Cross mem
Der. Not satisfied with this, this
child, who needs many things her
SELF worked and earned a dollar
more to buy four other junior Red
Cross memberships for those worse
off than herself so that her school
might have a share in helping some
crippled child to be cured.
Some boys in this same district
asked their principal if they might
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-12-02

call a meeting of boys at recess in
their room. Permission being grant
ed, they did so and formed a COM
pany to work all day Saturday and
turn their money over to their teach
er for the Junior Red Cross so that
thelr room might go over the top
and help send some crippled boy
to the hospital to be made straight
and sound of body.
The underlying motive with these
children was that of helping some
child worse off physically than
themselves, and the motive was so
strong within them that they gladly
denied themselves that they might
be of service to others
surely such examples of unselfish-
ness will inspire hundreds more fa-
vored to purchase the Red Cross
Christmas seals as a means of aid
ing the movement to wipe out tuber-
culosis.
