10 REBATE--AN
ALLOWANCE" PLEA
Pennsylvania Railroad's Move For
Dismissal Now Under Serious
Consideration
Special to TA« Ttlegraph
Philadelphia, June 16. —"Not a re
bate—only an allowanoe," is the
Pennsylvania Railroad's plea In the
suit now being heard In United States
district court here. In which the gov
ernment charges the railroad with
granting a rebate of 10 cents per ton
on coal to the Glen White Coal and
Lumber Company.
John Hampton Barnes, counsel for
the railroad, admitted in his appeal to
the court yesterday that the coal com
pany had been paid the 10 cents per
ton. He contended, however, that this
was an allowance, paid to the coal
company for carrying coal from the
mines at Kittanning Point, Pa., where
the coal company's railroad connects
with the Pennsy.
On this basis, Mr. Barnes asked
Judge Dickinson to dismiss the suit.
Counsel for the government objected
on the ground that even if the_ 10
cents per ton were an "allowance," the
railroad company violated the law by
not including this allowance in the
publication of its freight rates.
It was brought out that the Pennsy
now publishes the "allowance" in its
schedule of tariffs. Judge Dickinson
withheld his decision on the motion to
dismiss the suit.

were In winter quarters and there was
not much evidence of the war. Trains
of_ troops with ears, hands and feet
frozen were then being brought into
the city for treatment, the hospitals in
France being filled to their capacity.
As soon as the Baltic Sea opened
up in the Spring, Mr. and Mrs. White
booked passage for Russia on a small
Dutch steamer. It took them more
than three weeks to make the perilous
passage and three weeks longer to
reach Petrograd, owing to the bad con
ditions of the roads. Most of the trip
was made by sledges.
They spent more than six weeks in
the country and when they left Petro
grad early last month the ground was
covered with three feet of snow.
The return trip to England was
made with less trouble than the out
going passage because floe ice had
about disappeared. Mr. and Mrs.
White did not hear of tbe sinking of
the Lusitania until they reached Eng
land.
"We were greatly shocked," said Mrs.
White. "The killing of all those inno
cent babies and children, including
many Americans drove home the hor
rors of war and for a time made me
rather afraid to start for home. It
was an awful thing."
Mr. and Mrs. White returned to this
country on the St. Paul. The ship
was,, convoyed by two big British war
ships out to sea three hundred miles.
Mr. and Mrs. White spent the last
several weeks in New York.

The mayor took a gold horseshoe
from his desk and hung It over his

"That was given to me for good
luck." he said, "so I'm going to wish
that it will bring good luck to this
conference."
After a heated discussion on the
question of selecting a third arbitrator
I.eonard A. Busby, president of the
Chicago surface lines, mentioned the
name of Mayor Thompson.
Names of scores of prominent men
previously suggested had been thrown
into the discard.
The committee representing the
street car men, headed by W. D.
Mahon. retired to consider the pro
posal of accepting Mayor Thompson.
Within ten minutes they returned.
"We'll take him," was the simple an

State Society Will
Mark Harris' Grave
With Great Boulder
The grave of John Harris, the city's
first settler and father of the founder
of Harrisburg, is to be marked by the
Pennsylvania Historical Society with
a great boulder and bronze tablet suit
ably inscribed.
The stone will be placed In Harris
Park close to the grave of the settler
! whom tradition has It. was once al
imost burned at the stake by hostile In
dians, and opposite the landing of the
famous old Harris ferry landing. This
:is a short distance below the Cum-
I berland Valley bridge.
The Historical Society's decision to
mark the point was made at a recent
meeting and Thomas Lynch Montgom
ery, State Librarian and curator of
the State Society, yesterday wrote City
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, su
perintendent of parks, to that effect.
Mr. Taylor expressed appreciation of
the movement and advised that the
stone be given to the city through the
P»rk department and so that in this
~w*y no councilmanic legislation would
be necessary to provide a site inas
much as the city owns the parkland.
The old Iron spiked fence that has
enclosed the grave of Harris for nearly
a quarter of a century will likely be
removed too and a low hedge substi
tuted. in accordance with a suggestion
of Mr. Taylor.

or two on the subject with Mr. Gor

INTERNATIONAL CLUB
WOULD BOOST CITY

baseball. I certainly hope that the
nine .will be transferred and the team
placed for the remainder of the sea
son."
Mayor Royal Is not the only one of
the prominent men in the city favor
ing the plan. Attorney A. Carson
Stamm, a prominent baseball fan,
also said that he hopes that the team
would be brought here to represent
this city in thg East.
E. Z. Wallower, talking about the
transfer, to-day said, "to bring the
Newark team to this city will give
Harrlsburg the prominence It de
serves. Not only that, it will show
enterprise on the part of the citizens
in tho city. I think the proposition
should be encouraged." ,
Charles E. Covert, vice-president of
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, and prominent in athletic
affairs, agreed with the other men of
the city concerning the publicity Har
risburg would stain'from a place in the
International circuit.
The fans have one more day to
raise the remainder of the $5,000 bud
get, which is required before the
transfer will be granted. ,The team, if
brought to this city, would place Har
risburg in a race with cities having a
population of more than 250,000. The
scores of the games are published in
the East and West and also in many
Canadian towns, as Montreal and To
ronto have clubs in the circuit.
A number of the fans are grouping
together in twos, threes and fours, and
are taking books dividing the cost,
S2O. This means that many more be
come interested and will turn out at
the games.
Henry W. Oough, county controller,
another an intensely interrested in the
sport, believes that the transfer would
be a big advantage as an amusement
and to the business of the city in gen
eral. as the club would attract many
people from nearby towns to the
games, thus increasing the business in
this city, as the visitors would un
doubtedly want to get acquainted with
the town which represented Pennsyl
vania in the International league.

William Jones was convicted of at
tacking a young foreign girl with the
intention of assaulting her, and New

Kunkel's court to several charges of
larceny.
In No. 2 room much of the morn
ing was taken up with the trial of
Kosta Yrdonoff, a Steelton foreigner,
who broke into a cash register on My

lot of change and notes from his boss'
till. Yrdonoff says he is 18 years old.
Some years ago he was arraigned be
for court charged with having stolen
a lot of foreign gold coins. The case
was ignored by the grand Jury at the
time. Judge McCarrell sent the youth
to Huntingdon reformatory.
James Jones was on trial the re
mainder of the morning in No. 2
room on charges of malicious mischief.
Jones roomed with John Williamson
and according to a mutual agreement
had been accustomed to wear Wil
liamson's shoes when they were not
engaged with the latter's feet.
Just a few months ago Jones, It ap
peared, wanted to wear the shoes but
Williamson declined: he needed them
himself he said. Whereupon Jones
declared he would "get back" at the
selfish owner of the shoes. That
night Williamson found his overcoat
slashed Into ribbons and he accused
Jones.
Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by a Dlatln
gitlabed Specialist
"Acid" stomachs are dangerous be
cause acid irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
sufTer. Ordinary medicines and medi
cinal treatments are useless in such
cases, for they leave the source of the
trouble, the acid in the stomach, as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized, and Its formation prevent
ed. and the best thing for this purpose
is a teaspoonful of bfaurated magnesia,
a simple antacid, taken in a little warm
or cold water after eating, which not
onlv neutralizes the acid, but also pre
vents the fermentation from which
acidity Is developed. Foods which ordi
narily cause distress may be eaten with
Impunity if the meal is followed with a
little blsurated magnesia, which can be
obtained from any druggist, and should
always be kept handy.—Advertisement.
HOOF DISEASE DOES

and expressed themselves as being
highly gratified at the high standard
In livestock which has Deen attained
here. But the cattle are not alone In
the "Improvement" class, for the hogs,
sheep, poultry and horses appear to
be of a grade never before seen here.
Talks on Cattle
Soon after the show was opened this
morning the judges began their work
of awarding ribbons for cattle exhi
bits. An entertaining feature of this
part of the two-day program was the
work of the boys' judging classes.
One class made up of boys be
tween the ages of 15 and 18 years;
another between the ages of 18 and
21 years. The judges delivered short
talks on cattle, explaining their milk
producing organs and the sections
which make them good food animals.
Following these talks the members of
the two classes were given cards and
on them the boys told why certain
cattle in the ring were of more value
than others. Prizes were awarded to
the three boys in each class giving
the best accounts.
The same pro-!
cedure by which
City Commissioner
W. L. Gorgas, sup
erintendent of fin
ance and accounts,

than $4500 In over

city bonds held by
corporations, will
likely be tried by |

In addition to the judging of cattle
to-day, the judges were at work on
sheep, hogs, poultry and eggs. But
ter and horses and horse drawn ve
hicles will be judged to-morrow. For
the winner in each class a blue ribbon
will be given as first prize. The sec
ond prize is a red ribbon and the third
a yellow ribbon.
Farm Machinery
A new attraction at the big show
this year is the exhibit of automobiles
and farm machinery and this depart
ment is another evidence of the con
tinuous growth of the Hogestown
show. Among the farm implements
are grain elevators, tractors, gang
plow, gasoline engine*, feed grinders,
sheaf elevators and cream separators.
For nine years no Implements of any
kind were shown but last year two or
three companies brought their prod
ucts here and they were given places.
This year the management decided to
make a permanent department for
these products and they were listed in
the catalogs.
Since the first year the show has
grown remarkably. In the beginning
.only stock from the farms around
Hogestown were entered for ribbons,
but gradually the territory was ex
tended. This year contesting entries
are here from a of country
bounded on the south by Dlllsburg,
Lewisberry and Goldsboro, on the
north by the top of the North Moun
tain and east of the borough limits of
Carlisle to the river.
In addition to the 590 contesting
entries, which is a big Increase over
last year, registered cattle and hogs
are on exhibition.
Awards
Cattle were led into the judging
ring first. The awards in the various
classes up to a late hour this after
noon follow:
Bulls, pure-bred and registered—

nito, also will be looked into.
State department officials and mem- i
bers of the diplomatic corps knew
of the story to-day only from publish
ed reports. They recalled, however,
that at the personaJ request of Count
Bernstorff former Secretary Bryan
asked the British and French Ambas
sadors for safe conduct for Dr. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard, a representative of
the German Red Cross, who was re
turning to Berlin to carry a personal
message from the count after the
latter's audience with President Wil
son in the midst of the diplomatic ne
gotiations with Germany.
Mr. Jesserand, the French ambas
sador at the time inquired closely of
Meyer-Gerhard's Identity and State de
partment officials recalled also that
,Sir Cicll Spring-Rice, the British Am
bassador had suggested that there was
evidence of other activity by Gerhard
than Red Cross work.
The upshot of it was, however, that
the State department, at the request of
Count Bernstorff, gave a letter.
"It was a letter," said Secretary
Lansing to-day, "that was given at the
request of the German Ambassador
stating that Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, who
had been in this country as the rep
resentative of the German Red Cross,
desired to return to Germany."
No questtion, up to that time, nor
until to-day, had arisen at the depart
ment as to whether Meyer-Gerhard
might really be Meyer, or if Meyer
was in the countxy secretly buying
war supplies.
At the British and French embassies
it was said the development was con
sidered one purely for the State de
partment to determine If it had been
imposed upon. At the German em
bassy all officials were absent. Most
of them were at the summer embassy
at Cedar Hurst, Long Island.
One report which referred to Dr.
Alfred Meyer as purchasing arms
here, spoke of an attempt to buy ob
solete army rifles and said ex-Repre
sentative Herman Metz had conferred
with ex-Secretary Bryan on the sub
ject. Mr. Bryan said to-day he had
no recollection of any such conversa
tion with Mr. Metz. Secretary Garri
son said he knew of no negotiations
for the rifles.
Rodenhaver Would
Have City Sell Ice
Cheap to Everybody
J. Edgar Rodenhaver, former coun
cilman from the old Sixth ward, has
announced himself as a candidate for
city commissioner. Rodenhaver was
in council during a part of the public
Improvement era and was an active
advocate of those policies.
Two years ago when the Clark act
was put into effect he was a candi
date for council and was defeated by
only 18 votes. His platform at that
time contained a municipal ice plant
plank and he still believes the city
would be able to make and sell 25
pounds of ice for five cents and if
elected says he will work for the build
ing of such a plant.
How to Be Slim
and Attractive
If you are one of the many who suffer
from obesity you know only too well
the humiliation and discomfort one suf
fers when they are too fat. The cause
of obesity is undoubtedly due to faulty
assimilation. Too much of your food
is turned into fat and too little into
strength and vitality. To currect this
eat sparingly of starchy foods and
get from ony good druggist a few oil
of koreln capsules and take one after
each meal and one before retiring at
night.
Weigh yourself once a week and
note what a pleasant and reliable
method this is for removing superfluous
fat from any part of the body.
It costs little, is absolutely harmless
and I am sure a week's trial should
' convince anyone that it is unnecessary
I to be burdened with even a single pound
of unsightly fat.—Advertisement.
