Egidius Kellmayer Delayed by Lack of Stenographer Search for a public stenographer to record tho proceedings delayed for a tlmo today the trial of the Rev. Hgldlus Kellmayer, de posed minister of Uethany Presbyterian Church, Chester. The accused clergyman, whose absence last week caused postponment of the. case, was on hand early this morning. So were the other principals, while many women wero among those who assembled In West minster Hall. In the Wltherspoon Building, where the hearings are to be held. The preliminary organization of the eccle siastical court was effected without delay. The defendant preacher was called to plead to the charges of Insubordination, schism and conduct unbecoming a minister. He entered a plea of not guilty to all three charges. The Rev, W. R. Huston, of Clif ton Heights, and the Rev, George L. Van Allen, of Rutledge, were appointed to serve as counsel for the Chester Presbytery, which Is the prosecutor In the case. Mr, Kellmayer announced that he would act ai his own counsel. Most of the spectators present today are members of Bethany congregation or are follower! of the deposed pastor, who are , auenasnis ai ine tent meeings conducted 'by him directly opposite the church from J which he Is suspended. One of the accusations against the de posed pastor Is that he defies the edict of the commission which ordered his removal and refuses to stop preaching within a Thalf mile of the Chester church. There is J no aerlous charge of moral misconduct In 'the case, according to officials of the Prea- tytery. YOUR ROOF? Is of vital IMPORTANCE to you. Is It LIGHTNING PROOF?

EVENING '' ' ' . t. t. .1 WAR ON GARBAGE NUISANCE STARTS THROUGHOUT CITY i - i .- City Probes Failure of Col lections and Private Concerns PENN COMPANY PROTEST City Garbage Situation and Inspection Plans INVESTIGATION of Philadelphia garbage conditions began this morning. Orders given by Director of Pub' lie Works George E. Datosman and Chief Highway Director William II. Conncll. Extra workers put on the job to inYcstigatc in districts from which complaints come. Attempt will be made to obtain legislation at Harrisburg to do away with private collectors. Complnints -solicited by the De partment of Public Works, ns this is tho only way of finding out condi tions, Ptnn Reduction Company, which is paid $375,000 by the city to col lect the garbage, resents encroach ment of "private" collectors. An Investigation of Philadelphia garbage conditions began this morning when orders went forth from the offices of Director of Public Works (Jcorgc l& Dntesmnn nnd Chief of tho Highway Bureau William II. Conncll, directing special men to go to tho districts from which complaints have como nnd find out exactly what the trouble Is. and why tho garlmge collections are not mndo ns they should be. The city pays $375,000 to the Penn Re duction Company to collect tho garbage from the homes of Philadelphia. This com pany, according to Chief Conncll, resents tho Intrusion of the private concerns be cause tho Penn Reduction men never know whether tlio streets they aro expected to visit havo already been visited, nnd ns a re sult the cltlclcncy of tho Reduction Com pany's cmplojes Is lessened. "Vou see It Is this way," said Chief Con nell today. "The Penn Reduction Company Is paid to do the work, and It want to do It. As It Is now, there aro private collectors who mako the round of the city so-so. Sometimes they take tho garbngo on one street, sometimes on another. Then, too, wlym there Is a lot of garbage like there Is during July nnd August, tho private col lectors take only what they want. Thoy leave tho rest. "That means that the Penn Reduction Company wngons nre sent on streets where thero Is no garbage, and at other times on tho same street there Is garbago waiting to be collected. Then, you sec, tho men think that It has been collected. They think It hns been done by these prlvnto concerns. Wo have no way of knowing whether the collections have been mado or not until wo get the complnints from the public. That Is why wo solicit and want people to let us know Just how things are In their respective neighborhoods. "The Penn Reduction Company also re sents this intrusion," added Chief Conncll. "Tho more garbage it collects, the more money It enn make In the end, becauso It makes tho garbngo Into cold crenm and soap and other articles and then bcsidcH sells the drJcd garbage left for fertilizer." Chief Connell says that at present tho city administration Is considering steps by which it can get tho proper legislation to do away with the "private collector," who, ho says, is tho root of the trouble. In the center of the cfty there are col lections of garbage taken ench day by tho Penn Reduction Company. It Is necessary on account of the congested districts nnd tho mony hotels nnd restaurants. Most of the suburbs, except Oermantawn, Chestnut Hill and parts of Frankford, havo collec tions dally. These have four collections a week. tomrcaa To Work On Here's an all-round strong food.
