SUIT TESTS PUBLIC SERVICE
RIGHT TO PASS ON CONTRACTS
Williamsport Men Seek to Have Ap
proval Clause Set Aside
HARMSnurtG, Oct. 3. Abraham Fis
cher, H. T. Ames and M. G. Rhone, of
Williamsport, today brought suit In the
Dauphin County courts for a decree de
claring that clause of tho public service
act of 1013 governing the approval of
municipal contracts null and void. The
effect of this Is to attack the right of
the Public Scrvlco Commission to pass
upon contracts between municipalities or
Individuals or corporations furnishing
public service of any kind.
Tho suit grows out of a contract be
tween tho Lycomlng-Edlson Company and
tho city of Williamsport for lighting of
tho city streets, following tho decision of
the commission some time ago, setting
asldo a contract between the Citizen's
Klectiic Company and tho city and direct
ing that the bids be readvertlsed, the I.y-comlng-Kdison
Company being low bid
der as a lesult. The plaintiffs ask that
the commission bo enjoined from taking
action on the contract

TOOTHLESS WHISTLER
ESCAPES $5 FINE
Neighbors Complain of His
Constant Warbling, but
Judge Cancels Penalty
A toothless man whoso neighbors sny
he whistled away the value of property,
deprived people of fresh nlr, caused In
somnia, general consternation and Anally
legal proceedings was tho centro of
criticism today before Judge Harrcttt In
Quarter Sessions Cotut. lie Is I'letcher
Dummor, hut ho proved that he was
brighter than his nnmc by convincing tho
Jttdgo that a ' fine Imposed upon him
should bo removed.
Dummor lives nt 1D05 North 10th stieet.
lie contended that "warbling," on which
charge he was arrested, did not como
within the scope of the act of 150G, which
provides a. line for thos-e who commit a
nuisance on the public highway.
Landlords said that thev could not get
tenants to remain In the nel-ihbmliooil on
account of Dummet's whistling, and
Harry Lcvalne. formerly of 1003 North
19th street, said he had to move on ac
count ot tho whistler, nnd that others
threatened to do the same
Many nf those who objected to the re
moval of the line declared that when
Hummer wasn't whistling he wns making
a nolsp like n phonograph and an auto
mobile or something clue. The noise kept
them nwake, they declined, and on warm
nights they liml to suffer from the hrat in
oidsr to escnpo tln potpouiri which
poured fiom the house of Dummor
Although Dummer contended that bo
had no teeth nnd couldn't whistle, tho
complainants said the absence of molats
did not au'ei't him, and that he didn't
stop whistling long enough to eat.
The Judge snld the only lemedy wns
to have the man tearrcHted nnd tried
beforo n jury. He removed the line

riTTSnmOH. Oct. 20 -This morning's
session of the third dny's proceedings of
the Congress of Mothers nnd rarcnl
Tcicher Association developed a rupture
that thn atoned for a time to bring the
conference to n close In a rather abrupt
manner It niose out of the fnct that
the members of the child welfare circles,
who have been members of the confer
eine b lrtuo of their woik In child
uplift were charged bv members of an
other branch of the convention, the Par
ent Tern hers' Association, with usurping
their scope of work and going Into their
terrltor
A charge was made that the Child Wel
faro Circle was organized In the Inter
ests of 11 ccrtnln book concern foi tho
sale of books relating to the work, and
no member could be em oiled unless she
bought one of these books The Con
gress of Mothers delegates were non
plussed for n while how to hnndlo the
situation, nnd Mrs. Johnson, who was
presiding, had to rap for order many
Imes before she could get the concn
tlon clown to a working ntrnngement
Finally Mis Frederic SchofT. of Phila
delphia, president of tho National I'on-
gtess of Mothers, brought order out of
chaos bj stating that both vldes of the
controversy wero entitled to membership
In tho big organization, nnd were also en
titled to any Held of action they saw lit
The child welfare faction then proceeded
to show their strength in the convention
by electing Mrs. Hllza Q Fothergill, of
Pittsburgh, tho first member nnd organ
izer of the child welfare work In Western
Pennsylvania, president of the Pennsl
vnnla Congress of Mothers, after which
several delegater of the Paient-Tc.iehers'
Association left the hall
The cnnentlon ended this .ifternonn

Administration of Estates
A Trust Company is in many ways
superior to any individual who might
be named as executor of your will, for
it combines in itself all of the qualities
essential to the performance of the
duties required.
Complete equipment and systematic
methods enable it to handle all details of
management promptly and accurately.
Experience in the handling of trust
estates assures proper attention to legal
requirements and careful investment of
trust funds.
Perpetual charter makes certain an
uninterrupted administration of the
estate until final settlement.
Organized in 1869, this Company has
always made a specialty of the admin
istration of estates, whether, large or
small.
We invite those contemplating the
preparation of wills to call upon our
officials and obtain the benefits of their
experience.
If we are to be your executor, we draw
the will free, of charge, and hold it sub
ject to your order.
