    ILLISOII BILL MEN
REMIIIZE MOHDHY
Meeting of A. H. M. C. to Be Held
in Olivet Presbyterian
Church
After lying dormant since early In
the summer, the Allison Hill Men's
Christian Association will resume ac
tivities for the coming Fall and win
ter. A meeting has been called for
Monday evening, October 5, in the
Sunday school room of Olivet Presby
terian Church, in Derry street, when
new officers will be elected and plans
laid for becoming an active factor in
the approaching evangelistic cam
paign.
The managers believe that a great
field of usefulness lies before the as
sociation in continuing the work to
be inaugurated by Dr. Stough and his
associates, and look for a great in
crease in membership. No active
work will be done by the association
until after the close of the taber
nacle meetings, when extra efforts will
be put forth to begin again the men's
meetings on Sunday afternoons which
were so well attended last winter.
The present officers of the associa
tion are J. P. Braselmann, president;
Harrv C. Baum, vice-president, and
Dr. B. Frank Smith, treasurer. The
office of secretary is at present vacant
by reason of the removal of W. G.
Heacock to Youngstown, Ohio.
The association has enrolled itself
as a 00-openuting organization ot the
Stough campaign, with these repre
sentatives on the various committees:
Men's work committee, R. L.. Dare,
Joseph C. Burkholder and X. G.
Stoner; personal service committee>,
Charles A. Boyer. J. VV. Davies and
the Rev. J. W. Miller; publicity com
mittee, Elmer E. Fouse, \\ . G. Hoover
anil George L. Ebersolo; press com
mittee, W. L. Vannaman; shop meet
ings committee, Joseph F. Weaver,
James S. Bernheisel and A. L. Mich
ener.
When the Sunday afternoon men s
meetings begin again it is more than
probable that they will be held in
Lennev's new motion-picture theater,
in Derry street, as this will comfort
ably seat more than 900 men, and is
admirably adapted to the purpose.
It is hoped there will be a good at
tendance of the members at the meet
ing on Monday evening in order that
good impetus may be given to the re
newed activities of the association.

Hudson at the Front
in European War Zone
Announcement is made of the ap
pointment by Lord Kitchener of < ap
tain Alfred Rawlinson of London,
England, as special aid-de-camp to
Sir John D. P. French. Held marshal
in command of the British expedition
ary force in France.
Captain Rawlinson is a striking; per
sonality and has had a remarkable
and varied experience. As a captain
in the British army, he saw many
vears of service in Tndla. He is known
as one of the leading sportsmen of
Europe. He is a champion polo player,
a racing driver of note, a famous
vachtsman and a daring aviator.
llis brother, Sir Charles Rawlinson,
is one of Lord Kitchener's chief aids
in the work of recruiting additional
forces for the English army.
Captain Rawlinson numbers among
his personal friends in Europe the
Duke of Westminster. Claude Watney.
Albert Sterne and other promine-nt
men and notable sportsmen. He was
among those included in the circle or
associates of the late King Edward
VII. , .
An item of interest to loyal Amer
icans is the fact that in his work as
special aid-de-camp to the English
general Captain Rawlinson will drive
the Hudson motor car which he re
cently entered in the tourist trophy
raco on {he Isle of Man. It is expected
that this American car, piloted by the
captain's expert hand, will do much
toward extending the fame of the
American-built automobile in Europe.

TWO CITY DENTISTS
FOR SCHOOL CLINIC
Drs. M. Edward Richards and Paul
G. Kochanour Central High
and U. of P. Alumni Chosen
|f, jfay
DR. M. EDWARD RICHARDS
One of the Men Who Will Conduct
School Board Dental Clinic.
Harrisburg's proposed public school
dental clinic will be conducted by two
Central high school alumnai —Drs. M.
Edward Richards, 1333 Derry street
and Paul G. Kochanour, 711 North
Third streets.
The school board last evening
elected these two young University of
Pennsylvania dental school graduates
to serve alternately month about in
accordance with the recommendation
of the teachers' committee. Both
dentists were recommended by Dr.
Charles S. Rebuck .the medical in
spector, who will have supervision of
the work. The dentists will be paid
at the rate of a dollar an hour for
two hours' work each school day. The
clinic will be set up in the medical in
spection rooms.
The plan as outlined by Dr. Rebuck
will be as follows. Each child in the
schools is examined once or twice a
year by the medical inspectors and
when in the future a case is found
that requires attention" of a dentist
ithe child's circumstances will be in
vestigated closely and needy cases will
be treated gratuitously.
Both dentists are well known in this
city and in the college contingent, both
took a large part in the school activi
ties while at Central, Dr. Richards, of
1911, and Dr. Kochanour, of 1907.
In accordance with the usual cus
tom School Treasurer George W. Mc-
Ilhenny submitted his monthly report
for September. The report gives the ;
receipts and expenditures in detail. In
the sinking fund there is $177,294;
$61,238.52 in the Shimmell building
fund, and $3,096.99, a total balance
on hand of $241,629.51. The teachers'
retirement fund shows a balance of
$752.93. The sinking fund is distri
buted as usual although the report
shows that several of the hanks do not
hold as large as others because the
funds are withdrawn from time to
I time.
Dr. F. E. Downes, school superin
tendent, recommended the changing
of the terms from annually to semi
annually and that the number of
grades be changed from nine to eight.
The board again discussed the prog
ress of the work one the Shimmell
school building and approved the ar
chitect's estimate.

Gerber Says Conditions
Favor Increased Business
Edward F. Gerber, president of the
Abbott Motor Car Company of Detroit,
was in Harrisburg this week at the
local factory branch. Mr. Gerber was
optimistic regarding the business out
look and said the slump in business
resulting from the war had passed
and everything indicated a revival, as
industry has now adjusted itself to
conditions created by the foreign sit
uation. Mr. Gerber has just returned
from an extensive tour of the West
in the vicinity of Kansas City and
St. Louis.
"The splendid wheat crops there are
being hold by the farmers for the
dollar wheat to the grower," said Mr.
Gerber. "This has had a tendency to
tighten the money market in the West,
but when the wheat is unloaded the
buying of other commodities will be
brisk."
Mr. Gerber said the average cost of
repairs on an Abbott-Detroit was but
70 cents per car per month, including
all wrecks and iires. These figures
were tabulated from the reports re
ceived at their large Detroit factory.
The local factory branch is extend
ing its activities in the southern part
of the State and in the Maryland dis
trict, under the guidance of Mr.
Nacher, the local manager. The four
cylinder models are being closed out
at specially advertised reductions in
order to apply the factory facilities to
the. production of six-cylinder cars
exclusively.

Turkish Ambassador
Leaves United States
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 3.—A. Rustem
Bey, the Turkish ambassador, has left
Washington for New York and to-day
is on his way to Turkey. In a state
-ment before leaving the ambassador
said he was quitting the United States
on leave of absence at his own initia
tive. He explained that this step
which he had undertaken without con
ferring with his government, with
Which he had not been in communi
cation was the suit of the attitude
of the United States toward state
ments he had made comparing tynch
ings in the United States and the

HEARING ON MONDAY
Mayor Declares He Will Not Pre
side ; Somebody Else Will
in That Case
After a breezy session yesterday
afternoon City Council once more
postponed action on Mayor Royal's
resolution to remove Andrew E. Mur
phy as a patrolman and naming Jacob
Kinley as his successor, until Monday
afternoon, when another special ses
sion will be held at 4 o'clock.
The Monday meeting will be held
at police headquarters and is intend
ed to be a public hearing of the
charges against Patrolman Murphy of
insubordination, disobedience to or
ders, failure to report at proper times
and otherwise acting in a manner
prejudicial to the discipline of the de
partment.
Mayor Royal has stoutly declared
that lie will not preside at a hearing
of Murphy, and has insisted that he
has heard his defense and that Col
onel Joseph B. Hutchison, Chief of
Police, has heard his defense and his
excuses repeatedly. The other Com
missioners declared to-day that they
will select one of their number to pre
side if the Mayor declines to do so.
Mayor Royal refused point blank to
hear Murphy. "If Council wishes to
do so, it may, but I won't," he said.
Declare Hearing Fairest Plan
Commissioners Lynch, Taylor and
Bowman declared again and again
that they will support the Mayor in
his request for Murphy's removal if
the charges are true, and that they
have pledged him all the support pos
sible to maintain the discipline of the
police force.
"But every man ought to be at least
given a hearing. It is fair to no man
to dismiss him without a chance to

defend himself," pointed out Commis
sioner Lynch.
"Why, yes, Mayor, you, as the city's
chief magistrate, will give even a com
mon drunk a chance to be heard,
won't you?"
"A chance to be heard upon charges
preferred against him is only fair,"
insisted Commissioner Bowman, "and
to my mind you, as head of the de
partment, should give him this
chance. If it is shown that this of
ficer's conduct is prejudicial to the
discipline of the department then I
shall be eager and willing to support
action in dismissing him," declared the
Superintendent of Public Safety, "and
I believe my colleagues feel the same
way."
Murphy himself was present and
denied the charges. He produced an
affidavit in support of his refutation
of the charge that he was intoxicated
on duty. This was from a trolley car
conductor who had hauled him time
and again. Murphy intimated strong
ly that he was being made the butt
of "someone" in the department "who
had it In for him."
"Why, I've had no chance to be
hard on these charges," Anally de
clared Murphy. "I hear of them and
then I'm taken before the Chief and
I censured before I've had a chance
to explain. There would be just as
much reason in this," concluded Mur
phy, "as there would be if someone
should say, because I had happened to
be in the vicinity of Sixteenth and
I State streets, that I had shot Warren
j Quigley."
Rumor had it in and about municU
pal circles to-day that some more in
teresting disclosures were due at Mon
day's session—in view of what trans
pired yesterday.
