"Seven years afro

THURSDAY EVENING, RARRIBBURO 4fisSgl TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 30, 1915.
DR. J. W. HILL IS
SUED BY WOMAN
t Continued from First Piwce]
terday afternoon shortly after the
summons In Miss Covington's suit had
been filed In tho county clerk's office
by her attorney, Nathaniel F. Schmidt,
of 220 Broadway.
Before going he declared that she
had no valid claim against him and
was merely trying: to compel him to
pay her monoy not due her In order to
avoid unpleasant notoriety. He told
his attorney, Balnbrldge Colby, that he
didn't know the nature of the action
In which the summons had been
served and Mr. Colby himself Rot. his
first information that the suit was for
breach of promise when he was told
of statements made by Miss Coving
ton's attorney.
She is 30. He 52 Years Old
lawyer Schmidt said yesterday that
his client is about 30 years old. while
Dr. Hill Is 52, and that she first met
; him in Chicago In 1910 when she was
! manager of the lyceum and cnau
tauqua branch of the Western Vaude
ville Association. Miss Covington told
her attorney that the clergyman fell
In love with her at once and that in
July, 1910, shortly after they first met,
he proposed marriage.
Miss Covington reciprocated the
clergyman's love, her attorney said,
although he was nearly twenty years
| older than herself. He then brought
her to New York and attached her to
his own staff, with the understanding
that he would marry her here, she
said. She says she discovered In the
latter part of 1911 that Dr. Hill dldn t
Intend to marry her and that he really
couldn't wed her because he had a
wife.
Lawyer Schmidt described his client
as an able writer of fiction and poetry
r.nd said she is now on a lecture tour
in the West. She was formerly a
school teacher, he said.
Bainbrldge Colby, discussing the suit
against his client, said last night that
because of the fact that many threats
of disagreeable publicity for Dr. Hill'
had been made before the suit was
actually filed, the bringing of the ac
tion is a "miserable, rotten thing, too
disgusting to consider." He said he
was certain that his client didn't know
when the summons was served that
the plaintiff alleged that there had
been a promise of marriage.
Son Threatens Reprisals
John Warren Hill, son of the clergy
man, said last night at his father's
home, 151 West One Hundred and
Eighteenth street:
"This case is simply a shakedown,
as bad as any I ever saw attempted. I
have material In my possession which
from my knowledge of criminal law 1
believe could be used as the basis for a
prosecution of this woman."
Mr. Hill said that Miss Covington
has been making demands for money
on various grounds against his father
for a long time and on one occasion
stated that, her silence could be bought
for $5,000. She was discharged by the
Rev. Dr. Hill, his son said, and sub
sequently imagined she had claims for
back salary and on other grounds.
"Several weeks ago. while I was on
my vacation, this woman called up my
office and said she was a lifelong
friend of mine, which, of course is un
true, and wanted to know where T
was." said Mr. Hill. "She then wrote
me at the district attorney's office and
stated that she wanted to see me as
soon as possible in order to make ar
rangements so that a good deal of an
noyance should not come to my fam
ily. I refused to see her."
Rays She is -10 Years Old
Mr. TTill said that the plaintiff is
about 40 years old and that she was
in his father's employ only a few
months.
The Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill has
other grown children besides his son,
John Warren Hill. His first wife was
Nora Holmes, of Findlay, Ohio, whom
he married in 188S, and his second
wife was Sadie Harrison Schmidt, of
Brooklyn, whom he married in 1906,
while pastor of the Janes Methodist
Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, just be
fore becoming head of the Metro
politan Temnle in West Fourteenth
street in 1907.
The Rev. Dr. Hill has been widely
known as a civic, industrial and na
tional peace speaker. He made his
first appearance in the Blaine cam
paign and took an active part Ip the
McKtnley campaign in 1896. He was
chaplain of the Republican national
conventions in 1908 and 1912, and
during the campaign of 1912 accom
panied President Taft on his north
western tour. He resigned from the
naptorate of the Metropolitan Temnle
to have more time to work for Presi
dent Taft and also for the catise of
international neace. He visited Japan
In 1911 and established the Asiatic
branch of the International Peace
Fo'-um at Tokio.
The Rev. Dr. Hill is a member of the
Republican Club of New York and
the Fnlon League of Chicago and Is
vice-president of the American Civic
Association. His office is at 18 East
Forty-first street.
The Rev. John Wesley Hill was
nastor of the Grace Methodist Church,

Reading Company Short
on Anthracite Business
The Reading statements for August
show another deficit for the Coal and
Iron Company, while similar compan
ies of other anthracite carriers are
making large profits. The deficit of
this department for the month is
$141,666. an increase of $106,634, and
for two months the deficit is $221,003,
increase $86,911. This pulls down the
surplus earnings of the railway and
the Reading Company so that the
showing of the three companies for
August Is nn Increase in surplus of
slßl3 and for two months, an increase
of $343,051.
DID NOT NEED BIOCK SIGNALS
President Howard Elliott of the New
Haven Line spoke at a dinner in Bos
ton on railway safety.
"Why, the day may come," he de
clared, "when all roads will be as safe
as the Great Kentucky Central.
"A passenger on the Great Kentucky
Central said to the conductor:
" 'Do you use the block system on
this line?'
" 'No, we ain't got no use for the
block system, stranger.'
" 'Oh, I suppose, then, you use elec
tric or pneumatic signaling?'
" 'No; no use for them nuther.'
" 'Then you have train dispatchers,
and run your train by telegraph?'
" 'Nope.'
" 'But when you stop between sta
tions you at least go back a hundred
yards and flag the rear?'
" 'Nope, stranger; nope.'
" 'Then,' said the passenger angrily,
'all I've got to say is that this road is
run in a criminally reckless manner.'
"The conductor frowned, took out a
plug of tobacco, and snapped off &
chew viciously.
" 'Stranger,' he said, 'lf you don't
like this line say so, and I'll stop the
train and you can git oft and walk.
I'm the president of this line and the
sole owner. This is the Great Ken
tucky Central, and, stranger, don't you
forget it. She's seven miles and a
half long. She runs from Paint Hock
to Xola Chucky. This is the only train
that travels on the Great Kentucky
Central, and what you hear snortin'
ahead is our only engine. We ain't
never had a collision. We ain't
never had an accident. What's more,
we never will. Now are you satisfied,
stranger, or will I pull the string and
let you git out and walk?'"
RAILROAD NOTES
The Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way Company will run an Autumn leaf
excursion from Philadelphia to Read
ing August 10.
The Harry Seers Company of New
York has received the contract for
the erection of a large merchandise
pier at Greenville. N. J.
The Pennsylvania railroad machine |
shops went on full time yesterday. As
a result of the new order 1800 men
will work 55 hours each week until
further notice.
The Oriental Limited, from Chicago
to Seattle, over the Rurlington and
Great Northern, arrived at Seattle "on
time 507 times in 530 days after a 72-
hour run over 2207 miles of steel rails
across seven States.
Although the New York Central has
finally closed for its 1916 steel rail re
quirements, placing order for 120,100
tons, the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany has not yet acted on this impor
tant matter, nor is it likely to take
up the question until the return of

and Telegraph Company, sitting in the
offices of the company at 16 Dey street.
New York City, spoke into a Bell
telephone, connected by wires of the
Bell system with the wireless tower
at Arlington, Va., and his words were
transmitted by wireless telephony to
Mare Island, near San Francisco. Cal.
This latest and most remarkable
triumph of the telephonic art was
under the direct supervision of John
J. Carty, Chief Engineer of the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, who has been in San Francisco
gineers was located, at-the Naval
Radio Station, wireless telephone
speech from the telephone and Naval
L and Army officials at Washington waa
for several weeks. He received Presl- i
dent Vail's first message at Mare 1
Island and replied to It and repeated l
It back to Arlington by wire. The s
demonstration was held by permission
of the Navy Authorities at the radio 1
stations, and the experiments were <
witnessed and verified by them.
"Hello Carty"
It is interesting to note that in
starting the first message in Its flight 1
through the ether of the Pacific Coast
President Vail used a Bell telephono,
designed for wire working. At 12:48
Eastern time. President Vail, sur
rounded by a few officials of the Am
erican Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, picked up a Bell transmitter
and called Into it, "Hello, Carty: this
Is Mr. Vail." In spite of the fact that
the -words went by wire to Washing
ton and then leaped through the air
to the Pacific Coast, Engineer Carty's
reply came back almost Instantaneous
ly: "This is fine; this Is wonderful." i
The groups of men gathered together ,
at opposite sides of the continent
knew that wireless transcontinental
telephony would henceforth be num
bered among the miracles of modern
science.
Mr. Carty states that talking across
the continent Is recognized by the ex
pert* as being of greater difficulty than
talking across the Atlantic, for the
transmission over water is much easier
than over land, particularly In view
of the formidable mountain ranges to
be crossed on the continent.
"Telephone messages," Mr. Carty
says, "were transmitted with success
from Arlington, Va., to the Isthmus of
Panama, where they were received at :
the Government Radio Station by one
of his engineers and by the Naval ,
officers In charge, who telegraphed
back their contents. At San Diego, 1
also where one of the telephone en
received. Talking across the Atlantic
by means of this new system Is now
but a matter of Installing- the neces
sary apparatus."
When asked what he thought would
be the limit of this new system of his
company, he stated that he had no
The Boldest Offer and Claim
Ever Made in This City
Yes, he is coming;. Advice reached
here that Gray, the Quaker health
teacher, will arrive here next Saturday
and make his headquarter* at Keller's
Drug Store. 406 Market street. Gray
will remain here for a limited time,
during; which he will prove what
Quaker remedies will do. Here is how
he will prove it:
Certainly very bold claims are made
for the Wonderful Quaker Remedies,
one of which is that Quaker Herb Ex
tract will remove tapeworms, quickly
and surely, without dieting, sickness
or ill effect. Now to prove this claim
Gray asks any person who may be
afflicted with a tapeworm to call at
Keller's Drug; Store and he will fur
nish a bottle of Quaker Herb Extract
absolutely free Just to prove that this
wonderful remedy will expel tape-
doubt whatever that when the neces
sary apparatus is installed that tt
would be possible to talk from New
York to Toklo, Japan, using the trans
continental line from New York to
i San Franclseo and wireless across the
Pacific.
I worms in a few hours. Now this a
fair, open, honest proposition and tha
more people who call to take advan
tage of It the better Gray will be
pleased.
Here is certainly a chance to force
him to prove the powers of Quaker
Herb Extract as soon as he reaches
Harrlsburg. It costs nothing to talk
to the Health Teacher and he has
arranged to remain at Keller's Drug
Store daily from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.,
where he will cheerfully answet- all
questions pertaining to Quaker Herb
Remedies, now almost universally ac
knowledged as the most wonderful
remedies on earth for sufferers of
rheumatism, catarrh, kidney, liver,
stomach and blood troubles. Remem
ber, any person having & tapeworm
can obtain the Quaker Herb Extract
free next Monday. Gray makes this
offer solely to get some quick testi
monies and to prove that Quaker Herb
Extract actually does all that he claims
for It. Watch the dally papers for
further reports.—Advertisement
