there wan a strict observance of the Blus
Laws, according to Mayor Cunningham.
It Voting women sold Ice cream and other
dainties behind screened windows In their
homes. Mayor Cunningham and his officers
were not awnro of It. for they declare
there were no "lea cream parties" yester
day. The Sunday closing order rests on a local
ordinance of 1895, which forbids the selling
of candy, Ice cream, cigars, eta. on the
Sabbath. Borough Council has modified the
regulation regarding Ice cream, deciding It
may be sold as a food, but not as a delicacy.
Patrons of restaurants nnd hotels today
found they had to purchase a sandwich,
piece of cake or plo with their Ice cream
to keep It technically within the clasnlflca
Hon as a food, as the police rules forbid
tho frozen delicacy from being sold by Itself
on Sunday.

COMMITTEE CUTS FUND
FOR FOURTH OF JULY
City Asked to Give Only $G500
for Celebration To In
vite President
After a delay, which caused Councils'
Fourth of July Committco to fear that no
provision would bo made for a municipal
colouration, members of Councils' Finance
Committco today decided to report favor
ably to Councils a transfer bill, providing
J660O for tho Independence Day ceremonies.
This Is but a llttio more than half of the
$12,000 set aside for the purpose last year,
Tho Councltmanic Memorial Day Com
mittee, headed by Chairman John II. Haizley,
pared eery expenso to a point whero It
was declared that economy could bo car
ried no further and many of the flnanclors
wore surprised nt tho smallncss of tho de
nand for funds City Bureaus co-operated
with the committco In cutting down ex
penses, and the stands In Independence
Square will bo erected by city labor under
tho supervision of Chief Cummiskcy, of
tho Bureau of City Property.
A Junket to Washington to Invito Presi
dent Wilson to bo tho principal speaker at
Independence Hall, nnd a second trip to
llarrisburg to Invito Stato ofllclals, had
to bo abnndoncd, nnd, consequently, tho
Prcsldont will be Invited by one of tho local
Congressmen, and tho Stato ofllclals by let
ter. This change In original plans rcsultod
In a saving of hundreds of dollars, but
proved unpopular with members of the
committee.
Mayor Smith, when consulted by Chair
man Gaffney, of the Finance Committco, as
to his views on expenditures on tho Fourth,
declared himself to bo conservative and, al
though In favor of a satisfactory observ
ance of tho day, opposed to tho expenditure
of anything like last year's appropriation,
because of the present depleted condition of
tho city's trensury. It was tho Mayor who
suggested Inviting the President without tho
formality of sending a big committee to
extend tho Invitation.
Other cuts In tho Items as presented to
tho financiers included n big reduction In
tho allowance for a dinner for Councllmen
and Invited guests. An Item for $300 for
this dinner Is tentatively a part of the list
of expenses. The appropriation will bo re
ported to Councils on Thursday and will
bo passed two weeks later.

ren Waits, who was convicted on Satur
day of the murder of his millionaire father-in-law,
John E. Peck, of Grand Rapids, Is
a cheerful as ever In tho Tombs, and
shows no signs of his nerve weakening. He
Issued a declaration that he wishes no. ap
peal In his behalf ,
"I am satisfied with the verdict," he said,
"and don't want any Appeal made by Walter
R. Deuel (Walte's chief counsel) or any one
else. 1 am willing to tako tho punishment
for my 111 deeds, and the quicker that pun
ishment comes the better."
After he had arisen at 6:30 o'clock Walte
greeted his guard, Joe Crowley, pleasantly
and had a hearty breakfast. Tho attend
ants at the Tombs and Walte's fellow pris
oners watched him curiously to see If his
conviction had shaken him In any way.
But he greeted them with his usual ready
smile and talkod with the elaborato polite
ness In which ho has trained himself until
It has become second nature. Later In the
morning he asked the guard:
"Is thoro nny rulo against convicted mur
derers attending church Bervlces7"
"No," said Guard Crowley; "you havo a
perfect right If you want,"
Head Keeper Julius Bremei went hlmselt
to got Walto nnd said tHat he would find
him a sent In the front row at tho services.
"I wish you would not," said Walto.
"Music affects mo strangely. Sometimes
It makes me cry, and If I would cry today,
tho othor men would understand the rea
son. 1 would much rather have a scat In
the last row."
Walto was plnccd In the last row and
was not moved to tears, although ho sang
with a great deal of feeling "Nearer, Mv
God, to Thee," nnd "In tho Sweet Dye and
Byo." He listened attentively whllo the
Rev. Dr. Callahan preached a sermon on
the two thieves crucified with Christ
Afterwards he was permitted to attend a
Christian Science meeting.
One prisoner said to him
"Doe, I'm awfully Sorry to see a young
fellow like you have to go.'
"Why, don't give me any sympathy," said
Walto. "lots of others hare had to go the
same way In tha prime of Ufa The taw de

What Do You Know
out The Maxwell
IHIS is tho time of the vear when more
people are considering the question of
"what car to buy" than at any other time
" of the year.
This community has its full share of people
who will- soon be driving their first car or a new
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max
well Cars to a great many of these people de
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwefl.
The generous value offered in the car is so
evident its past record k so full of good perform
anceowners speak so well of it that when the
buyer knows these things, he b eager to buy a
Maxwell.
In order to tell as many people as possible
about the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going
to spend a lot of money in the next few weeks in
this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those
who do not know them.
The reason we want to sell as many Max
wells as possible this season. Our future allot
ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we
sell now.
You. may know that the Maxwell market is a
buyer's market, not a seller's market broadly
speaking. The demand for -Maxwells the country
over b greater than the supply.
'
For this reason cars are allotted to dealers, by
the factory according to the size, of the dealer's
business.
We want to make a showing- and be in a posi
tion to get a generous allotment of Maxwells
hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in
any community, the greater b the future demand.
We realize the opportunity to do on ever-increasing
Maxwell business.
Thb b only the first of the several messages
we are going to print a few days apart concern
ing the Maxwell Car. But we don't expect to bo
able to adequately present Maxwell merits hi
printed words alone.
If .you are one who b going to buy a new car
you will find it decidedly to your advantage to
find out all you can about the Maxwell before you
place your order.
Come in and talk it over with us and let us
demonstrate the car to you. Then, don't take our
word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells.
Get "posted" about the Maxwell and you will
realize more satisfaction and get more "value re
ceived" for your motor car money than ever,
before.
And we are just as willing to have you investi
gate other cars just as fully as you do ours. Tho
Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison.
Why not start your Maxwell investigation
today?
