Special to The Telegraph
Dillsburg, Pa., Aug. 30.—A com
pany is being promoted here to es
tablish and operate a trackless trolley

peared before the Dillsburg borough

chise to operate In the strets of the
borough, which Is to be the terminal.
This is a new method of transpor
tation in this part of the country, the
new system having cars built on the
lines of a regular motor car operated
on tracks, but equipped with heavy
rubber-tired wheels and run over an
ordinary wagon road. The motive
power will be electricity, supplied by
overhead wires as in the regular trol
ley system. The system is claimed by
th« promoters to cost less than one
fourth that of the regular trolley,
system.
A special meeting of the borough
council has been called for Monday
night, September 6, when definite ac
tion will be taken.
This line when in operation will
prove a great convenience to the resi
dents of the upper end of York county,
as this will give a direct route to
York, the county seat, twenty miles
ft way. At present to go to York by
rail travelers must go by way of Har
risburg. a distance of 52 miles.

Garrison Will Not talk
on Roosevelt's Statement
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Aug. 30.—The Roose
velt-Garrison controversy, growing
out of Colonel Roosevelt's attack on
the Wilson Administration at Platts
burg, has ended as far as Secretary
Garrison is concerned. Mr. Garrison
sain so today, after he was asked to
comment on Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment. The Secretary of War declined
to have anything more to sav on the
subject.
"Not today or any other dav," he
said. "That case was closed day be
fore yesterday."
Opinion here among men who are
well acquainted with Colonel Roose
velt are confident that he will not
stop his criticism of President Wil
son. Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Daniels. The criticisms of the Colo
nel have not been directed specifically
against Secretary Garrison, on the
ground that he has not made prepara
tions for national defense, but because
he is a member of an Administration
which the Colonel charges with negli
gence In that direction. His quarrel
with Secretary Garrison was based on
the public reprimand delivered by Mr.
Garrison as Secretary of War to Ma
jor General Leonard Wood for per
mitting Colonel Roosevelt to make a
political speech at a camp conducted
under the authority of the War De
partment.

that they may not have a "black
mark" on their lives through their

were in the Highland Park police sta

reformative policy of Mr. Ford. ,
It is significant, too, that when thev
start in their reformation they will be
