Football With Princeton Princeton, Harvard, 6 AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE" Campaign Yarns About Prison Wound Up When Confronted With Facts Warden Harry W. Meetch, of the Dauphin, County Prison, to day demolished the stories drawn from convict sources and printed in the Ilar risburg Patriot to the effect that inmates of the institution are not properly fed and that they are forced by the scantiness of the regular fare to make purchases of special food from the prison kitchen. The warden not only disposed of these charges, but by reference to prison which the convicts who furnished the Patriot with its information are naturally not familiar, proved that persons incarcerated had actually gained in weight while behind the bars. Furthermore he showed from prison records that the profits alleged to have been made from the kitchen orders were as fictitious as the rest of the campaign thunder the Patriot has been emitting for several weeks. In short, the warden's statements, show the "sensations" to have been as baseless' as the oratory of the candidates which the Patriot AT KILL MEETING Voters Rally to Support of the Republican Ticket, ROUSING ADDRESSES Ovation Follows Ovation; Hargest Bumps Royal; Important Election Republicans of four Allison Hill wards vied last night in pledging support to the city and county tickets with the Republicans of the five wards that held meetings on Thursday night.

Allison Hill rallied in force at Union Square Hair last night and not only cheered the speakers to the echo, but gave such a demonstration of stal wartness that the fusion glooms who have been claiming the various wards in that section of Harrisburg shook their heads and went home. Contrasted with the pitiable handful at the market house meeting held Thursday night by the fusion folks, last night's meeting stands out as a snining example of what a united, harmonious party means. The Hill has held big, rousing meet ings in past years, but last, night it broke its record. Union Square Hall simply had its limit as regards audience and the enthusiasm shown through the hours of the meeting was unabated and Allison Hill stands cer tatn to give that loyal support to Republican tickets for which It has been distinguished in the past. There was a band out to parade, but it was not needed.

The hall was filled long before the band got there and the band could not get in. Most fusion meetings have needed bands to swell numbers. Allison Hill Republicans like to have music, but when a Republican mass meeting is on voters fill the hall. Ovation ou Ovation The candidates received ovations. Everyone was given a greeting of shouts and Dr.

The warden also shows the truth of a certain "visitor's" Interest in the prison. Where the Patriot Blundered leaving out of consideration the fact that the articles in the Patriot are based on Information given by persona who were put in prison for, offenses against society and therefore discredited at the start, the warden says: "The meat for the prison is furnished by the largest retail meat market in Harrisburg and It is used the day ft is delivered, except Sunday. The contract calls for "clean, good and untainted meat." Statements that meat of any other character is furnished are simply falsehoods, given circuit tlon for campaign In refuting the statement made editorially by the Patriot to the effect i Continued on Pago 3. TEST OF AKRON IS First Few Minutes Beautiful; Trouble Comes Above Meadows GAS BAG AT FAULT Something Wrong With Balloon Part of the Airship By Associated Press Atlantic City, N. Nov.

4. The airship Akron left the hangar at the Inlet at 9.50 a. m. for a trial flight. The big dirigible rose about 300 feet and sailed out over Absecon Inlet, northeasterly.

Vaniman appeared to have perfect control. For a few minutes the bag circled over the Inlet. Vaniman essayed a "dip." He had the same control that the operator of an aeroplane exercises. Leaving the Inlet, the airship sailed dow.n the beach at a height of about 300 feet for a mile. Vaniman turned the aircraft inland.

Besides himself, Vaniman's crew is composed of the following: Calvin Vaniman, his brother; Captain Thomas Bottscher, navigator; "Jack" Irwin, wireless operator; Louis Loud and George Hlfflard, a French mechanician. The airship went up without her lifeboat or the hydro elevator, which will take the place of the equilibrator which was a feature of the America. Only a small supply of gasoline was in the tank, The Akron carried two pairs of propellers, but across the ocean she will carry three pairs. The gas bag is 268 feet long, about 30 feet longer than that of the America. After leaving the beach at a forty mile an hour speed the airship swooped over the City Hill, later darting back toward the Inlet and then across the meadows as far as Absecon.

While over Pleasantville the residents. of that place received an unexpected Visit, for Vaniman came to earth and. practically the whole town ran' to the After remaining on the ground about ten minutes the Akron again went aloft slowly and sailed rather low over the dreary meadows, but gradually rose. Vaniman maneuvered over the swampy land and two miles out on the meadows the airship came down to the ground, went up and again, came down. The location of the landing was such as to make it impossible to get quick, information.

At 12.40 the balloon began to move again and appeared to be in tow of a dredge. The bottom of the ship barely cleared the mpadow grass. The 'trouble is be 4 lieved to have been with the gas bag.

Revolutionists Hankow, China, Via Wu Pu, Nov. 4. Almost the whole of the nativt city of Hankow is afire this morning.

It is feared that the Wesleyan Mission near the Han river, in which are fifty blind and 150 wounded persons who with the staff of the mission made up total of 300 persons, was destroyed. Dr. Booth, the head of the mission, asked the imperialists to grant an armistice of two hours to permit of removal from the mission, but the firing ceased only a half hour. A Red Cross steamer which attempted to rescue the inmates of the mission was driven back by the fire from the rebel fort. One shell riddled the steamer's deckhouse.

When the vessel was compelled to turn back the mission was still stand but its position was the flames being within 200 yards of the building. The fires in the town were started by the imperialisYs, who threw inflammable shells into the place. A strong wind carried the flames across the river to Han Tang and a strip of that city on the water front a mile long was destroyed and the tire is still burning there. A few hundred rebels against whom the imperialists are preparing to advance, occupy 1he unturned parts of Hankow. When the steamer left an artillery duel was taking place between the batteries of the imperialists which were planted back of the British con Cession and the Wu Chang and Han Yang forts.

rebel shells landed in the foreign concessions piercing the walls of the houses. The imperials occupy the district westward of the railway station almost to the Han river. The Chamber of Commerce asked the foreign consuls to protest against the burning of the city, but the consuls declined to do so. Mission Property Quite Extensive London, Nov. 4.

Near Shanghai Shanghai, China, Nov. 4. The new revolutionary government controlled the situation on the Tang tse delta to day. The cause has been strengthened I by the raming of all those who applied! for rifles and ammunition. The rebels obtained the arsenal, powder factory, gunboats and an enormous supply, of first class Mauser rifles.

Not less than 10,000 rifles were given indiscriminately to applicants this evening. The forts at Wu Sung went over ta the rebels without resistance and the other up river forts hoisted the white flag as though through a previous understanding with the rebel commander. The revolutionists can hard ly be said to have "seized" Shanghai, Wu Sung and the other up river forts. It was simply a change of control, in i which practically every one acqui esced. About ten people were killed! and twenty others Injured, but most of the casualties were accidental, due to the explosion of dynamite used to open the gates of the cities.

Up to 6 o'clock to night there had not been a single case of disturbance within the foreign settlement, i For eigners everywhere were treated with the utmost courtesy.
