18 DISSOLUTION OF "MOVIE" TRUST IS ORDERED BY U.S. Judge Oliver B. Dickinson Hands Down Opinion in District Court NO SUGGESTIONS MADE Many Millions of Dollars In volved in Suit Brought by Government By Associated Press Philadelphia, Oct. I.—The United States Government won a sweeping victory in one of its important anti trust cases to-day when Judge Oliver B. Dickinson in the United States Dis trict Court here handed down an opinion dissolving the alleged moving picture trust on the ground that it was violating the Sherman law regu lating interstate and foreign com merce. The decision was rendered against the Motion Picture Patents Oompahy. the General Film Company and many other concerns and indi viduals manufacturing motion picture films and accessories or controlling the rights of their manufacture. Many mllli<ws of dollars are involved in the business. The court made no suggestions as to how the alleged combination Is to be dissolved but requested that a de cree be submitted for approval. It is probable the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. Formed in 1908 It was charged by the government! that the alleged monopoly was; formed in 190S by virtually all the | manufacturers of moving picture films in the country. Under an agreement made by these concerns, it was al leged, the Motion Picture Patents Company was made the holding con cern of nearly all the patents that have been issued. A list of theaters | and moving picture places was pre-1 pared and no' film exchange, it was! alleged, was allowed to distribute I films to any exhibitor except those; named on the list. Uniform prices and rules were made, it was further al-1 leged. and if the film exchanges did j not observe the orders of the so-called I trust their supply was cut oft. Frank Bell Lectures on Christian Science to Johnstown Audience; Johnstown. Pa.. Oct. I.—There was j a good attendance at Library Hall to j hear the lecture by Frank Bell, of j Harrisburg, Pa., a member of the j board of lectureship of the mother j church, the First Church of Christ, | Scientist, of Boston, Mass. The lec- j tt'.re was given under the auspices of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, of this city. Many persons from towns near this city were present. In part the lecturer said: The healing of disease is incidental to and not the prime object of Chris tian Science practice. But because this Is not generally recognized outside the Christian Science ranks and be cause the healing is the phase most prominent in public thought with re gard to Christian Science, and because the healings do constitute important proof of the correctness of its teach ings. it is pertinent to refer briefly to Borne of the evidence that Christian Science does heal all manner of dis ease. The extraordinary growth of the movement is in Itself an impressive testimonial to the efficacy of its heal ing Although the first Christian I Science church was established less' than four years ago, there are to-day] more than fifteen hundred organized bodies of men una women conducting public services under the by-laws of the Christian Science Church. While the largest numerical representation is in the XTnited States, where Christian Science had its beginning, its churches are to be found quite numerously in England, Canada and Germanv and also in France. Ireland, • Scotland, Wales, Holland. Italy, Norwav, Sweden' Switzerland. South Africa, 'Australia' New Zealand. China, the Philippines, Argentina and Bermuda. From vir tually every, quarter come reports of continuing and substantial growth, corroborative evidence of which is found In the fact that the demand for the authorized literature is increasing ! so rapidly as to tax the constantly en larging publication facilities. 1 LONDON' PAPERS OPPOSED By Associated Press London.

FRIDAY EVENING, HXKRIBBtTRo TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 1, 1915 WARNS AGAINST TRASHY BOOKS f Continued from First Page] erature, In a short talk said In part: "We should have standards for Sab bath school teachers and officers, the same as the public schools have stand ards for their Instructors. Trained teachers for religious Instruction are necessary. He went on to say that building committees of various churches have recently considered the Sunday school department, and its needs tlrst, recog n'zing the importance of properly equipping this department. He gave instances showing the importance of this step and made the statement that the Sunday school is one of the most important branches of church work. Urges Seminary Training The Rev. Dr. J. P. Landis, dead of I Bonebrake Theological Seminary, | Dayton, Ohio, the seminary of the gen eral United Brethren Church, then spoke of the elements of church work in education. Dr. Landis said, "The pastor is not only an evangelist, he is an instructor, a professor of the Bible. To preach properly he must make an impression by arousing an emotion [that will count. When this is accom plished the backsliding church mem jbers will not backslide. They must he solidly converted men and women. The Sunday school aids in this, and so does the theological seminary. A cer tain preacher once said to an enter prising young man in his congregation, "Don't go to a theological seminary, you'll lose your religion.' Never say that to your young men. It is a false theory. I know that some theological seminaries are too dead, too dry—but remember the 62,000.000 unconverted people in this country and the billion people in other countries." Should Teach Systematic Giving Carefully prepared sermons should be preached for the instruction in and encouragement of "systematic giving," was the statement made by the Rev. Dr. C. A. Snavely, of Philadelphia, in his report on Christian Stewardship. He urged that the general conference plan should be adopted by every con gregation and that the church budget j include ail of the various interests of church work. He favored the every member canvass advocated by the Rev. Dr. Lowery. The Rev. Dr. J. S. Kendall, of Day ton. secretary of the general finance commission, then spoke on "Christian i Stewardship." He claimed that many people had no conception of disciple jship. and that many church members ; unhook themselves from church work ; Sunday morning, staying unhooked i until the following Sunday morning. "The way we use our money is the ! way we spend our lives. Some people |we must twist and shake and shake | and twist, and those kind when they ! give, feel as good about it as the man ] who is paying taxes. The church ; members will find that success lies in I hooking up not only on the Sabbath | but on the other six days as well, and 'that discipleship teaches self denial." i Bishop Weekley appointed the Revs. 'D. D. Lowery, J. A. Lyter, R. R. But jterwick. of Mountville: S. S. Enck, of | Philadelphia, and Congressman A. S. j Kreider. as a committee to arrange a j program for the Bible School Con j t'erence at Mt Gretna next summer, j Pledges given this morning for the new church to be organized in North Philadelphia brought this total up i to $2140, the following additional sums jhave been announced. Annville, $100: Halifax. SSO; Lititz, $lO, and Grant vtlle, $lO. The Rev. W. M. Seligman gave a short talk this morning on the interdenominational work being done at Mt. Alto. Score Vaseilatinj; Ministers Attacking the ministers who do not reply to the offers of the Anti-Saloon League to fill their pulpits and have temperance services, and criticising the men who "stay on the fence" on the liquor question, the Rev. F. F. Holsopple, superintendent of the Har risburg district of the Anti-Saloon League, bitterly scored the undecided men in an address before the delegates in session in the Sixth Street United Brethren Church this afternoon. "The meanest man aside from the i brewer or liquor dealer Is the one who | dees not want to do anything to help j and is too much of a moral coward to classify himself against the cause and for the whisky bunch. While we are wasting time and money to find out where he really does stand, the cause suffers and the enemy prospers," the Rev. Dr. Holsopple said. In his temperance talk the Rev. Mr. Holsopple gave statistics shewing the standing of the prohibition cause in the country, using revised figures up to September 15, 1915. His most In teresting point was the statement that tlio output of liquors in this state has decreased 33 1-3 per cent, during the last year. Discuss College Work A business session this afternoon fol i lowed the address by the Rev. Dr. Hol sopple. The Rev. H. F. Rhoad, of Highspire, presented a report from the committee on education in which he | offered support to the Lebanon Valley i College, and requested Co-operation i with.the Rev. Dr. William E. Sehell, j general secretary. Pastors were asked to observe edu j eational day with appropriate services. G. D. Gossard, president of Lebanon | Valley College, also spoke this after noon telling of the work done in that .institution and giving facts showing j its rise during the last few years to a l foremost position among educational I institutions. The report on temper ! ance was given by the Rev. A. S. Leli • man. of Hummelstown. who gave an Interesting account of the progress of 1 the work in this district alone. To-night the Rev. O. F. Deever will give an address at 7:45 o'clock, speak ; ing on the important subjects discuss j ed during the sessions to-day. To-morrow all of the remaining i business of the convention will be j completed in preparation for the ap ' pointments to be announced Sunday | morning by Bishop Weekley, and the j ordination services. Young people's work, Bible cause, [ womens' missionary work, and me | morial services will he discussed to i morrow after reports have been given ; by the committees of these depart ments. Fifty automobiles had been 1 obtained for an auto trip over the city 'this afternoon to points of interest,, weather conditions permitting. Philadelphia Turned Down I Sentiment against having the 117 th {annual conference of the United Brethren Church. West Philadelphia, sylvania district, in the Second United i Brethren Church, eWst Philadelphia.j where it was held In 1914, prevailed this morning when a vote was taken to decide where the next session should ; be held. The delegates in session in the Sixth Street Church this city, cast a majority of votes opposing the In vitation from that city. Bishop W. AI. Weekley after a short business session, 1 asked for motions for a place for the 1915 sessions. The Rev. Dr. S. C. I Enck, pastor of the Second Church. I Philadelphia, Immediately extended an invitation to the members to come there. No other pastors asked for the conference. A discussion between members, the Rev. Dr. D. D. D. Low ery conference superintendent. Bishop Weekley, the Rev. Dr. Enck, and other delegates, began. Finally a vote was (taken, the "nays" winning by a good majority. I In the discussion Harrisburg was 'mentioned for the conference again, | but no action was taken on this pro posal. Dr. Lowery with a committee will select a place and report prob ably to-morrow morning. Dr. Lowery In a short talk then said that the Sec ond Church. Philadelphia, might be chosen in the end. but it is believed that a Lebanon Valley town will be se lected. Officers Elected Late yesterday afternoon ballots were distributed for the election of conference officers and committeemen. This afternoon Bishop Weekley an nounced the results as follows: The Rev.

Weekley, presiding over the sessions of the conference In j the Sixth Street Church, spoke to the j delegates on the modern methods used i In churches, criticising the work of some of the pastors on decision days in the Sunday schools. He deplored the methods used in getting people in churches and asserted that on Judg-' ment Day the Lord will "count hearts and not noses." Loose methods were scored by the bishop, who said that the churches arc being filled with unsaved multitudes on the theory of joining church first and looking for religion afterward. His strongest protest was made against getting children Into the church bv the wholesale, claiming that often the children are not aware of the importance of the decision. He said he favored having children make a decision, but not until the time when they had reached the age of personal accountability. Tells of Vice Fights His third protest was made against the insinuations made by preachers and teachers against the fathers and mothers of long ago, ending with the plea, "May God give us more of the old-fashioned Christian mothers." Bishop A. T. Howard in his address yesterday on foreign mission work «ave statistics showing the undertak ings of the various denominations in foreign fields. He told of the different religions that were being fought, such as. Mohammedanism Romanism, Con fucianism and Buddhism. He also told how the opium business was be ing controlled, but sail that little ad vancement had been made In' over coming the tobacco evils. Conference Sidelights M. S.

The Rev. John Binkley. of near Annville, is in his eighty-third year, the oldest ministerial member of the conference, retired from active serv ice after a pastoral career of fifty three years, is attending the sessions of East Pennsylvania Conference, continues enthusiastic and is delighted that this is the fifty-first conference ho has attended. The Rev. Dr. A. B. Statton, pastor of the First United Brethren church, Hagerstown, aid., is one of the visitors at this conference, and is in the nine teenth year of his pastoral relation with the local church named. The Rev. Dr. J. A. Lyter, chief secretary of East Pennsylvania Conference, has continued as pastor of the Derry Street U. B. church for sixteen years. It is the policy of the United Brethren church to re-assign Dastors succes sively, conference, church, and pas tor being agreeable thereto; there be in;.' no written law of fixed time limit. Bislion A. T. Howard of Dayton. o„ foreign missionary bishop, favored the conference with a strong address yesterday afternoon on the fields oc cupied in Africa. .Tapan. China, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Bishop W. M. Weekley's stirring ad dress yesterday afternoon appeared in the paners and the newsboys called it out. Bishoo Weekley said to one of the boys, "That address it not worth nnything." The boy. who did not know whom he was talking to. replied, 'lt's worth a penny, sure." The Bishop enjoyed the retort. PVMBA (JETS SAFE CONDUCT Washington. D. C.. Oct.

Walter Wallace, a blind organist, who for three years has played regularly in churches and a motion picture theater in Reading, will come to Harrisburg next Wednes day to become one of the regular organists at Peter Magaro's Regent motion picture theater, 410 Market street. Mr. Magaro in making the an nouncement to-day, said that Miss Merchant, the present organist, will remain with the theater, dividing the programs with the blind musician. Between now and the coming of Professor Wallace next week the work of installing a four-manual organ in place of the present two-manual In strument. will be completed. The present organ was damaged by water about three months ago when floods trom a sewer backed into the cellar of the theater. The result has been that since that time Miss Merchant has been very much handicapped in her playing, but with a new Mohler organ installed by next Wednesday it is promised that both she and Professor Walace will have every facility to dis play their musical attainments to the best advantage. The blird musician will come mo3t highly recommended by Reading musicians and the Reading newspapers which tell interestingly of the difficul ties that he has to overcome in his musical work. Mrs. Wallace always accompanies her husband to the theater when he plays and by pres sure of her hand on his arm indicates to him the nature of the music re quired so that his playing shall be ap propriate to the acting that is being done at the time on the motion picture screen. Despite his affliction Professor Wal lace plays by note, having especially embossed music, and when he wants to play a selection that is not improvised he writes it himself at the dictation of his wife. Professor Wallace has composed much music of rare sweetness. He officiated for some time as organist of the Windsor Methodist church, in Reading, and afterward went to the Lyric theater in that city, relinquish ing his post there to come to the Regent. Before he went to Reading he was organist of the First Reform ed church. Lebanon. Publish Proclamation to Vote on the Loan How the passage of the proposed $300,000 Walnut street bridge loan as well as the $60,000 new fire apparatus item, will affect the bonded indebted ness of Harrisburg Is set forth in the official proclamation of the fact that these items are to be voted upon at the general election in November which was formally advertised to-dav by Mayor John K. Royal and City Clerk Charles A. Miller. Council several weeks ago passed the ordinances authorizing the plac ing of the problems before the people in November and publication of the official proclamation is required by the Clark act. The announcement calls attention to the fact that cify property valuation Is $50,336,754 and the present in debtedness of the city totals $1,931,- 719.57. The proposed Increase of $360,000 would amount to about .007 and a fraction per cent of the total indebtedness. The Walnut Street Bridge Associa tion which is boosting the movement, will use these figures in urging the passage of the bridge loan, it was de cided last evening at the meeting of the association in Swab hall. The finance committee will district the city and' begin a systematic canvass for funds to boost the campaign. Slavics Will Help Half a dozen moving picture theaters have volunteered to assist in the cam paign by using films dealing with the movement. It was reported last night. Lantern slides of the float that was used in the Municipal Celebration water carnival will be used. The float shows a view of the proposed bridge and this was removed from the river yesterday and hauled all over the Hill. Alderman Charles P. Walter dis cussed the bridge problem last eve ning and told why he believes the con struction of the viaduct over the Pennsylvania tracks at Walnut street Is a public necessity. Even with the widening of the Market street subway, Alderman Walter declared, the pro posed bridge would be needed as in creasing traffic, for the northern outlet of the Hill requires it. THINK MAN THREW SELF UNDER TRAIN The dead body of a man. believed to be William H. Fleming of Philadelphia was found last night along the Penn sylvania railroad tracks near Newport.

On the inside the coat pock ets was the name of William H. Flem ing, Philadelphia; and the address of a clothing firm. The body was placed In charge of an undertaker at New 'port, and the police authorities at Philadelphia notified. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears /?

Most of to-day's session in No. 1 courtroom was taken up with the trial of Stella Collier, charged with main taining a house of questionable char acter at fill Walnut street, and Maggie Selbert. John Hays and Helen Grier as inmates. The courtroom was edified now and then at the tiffs between District At torney M. E. Stroup and Robert Stucker. counsel for the defense. The question of the Collier girl's state of dress, or undress, on the night the place was raided was threshed out to the vast amusement of the spectators. Joseph D. Lebo, an autoist, who was charged with having run down pretty little Laura Walker on the road between L.vkens and Ellzabethvllle, was convicted of assault and battery. The trial brought to the witness stand the two sisters of' the little plaintiff and the trio was easi. / the prettiest that have attended court in many a day.

French Had Personal Insults to Wipe Out By Associated Press Paris, Oct. 1. —The French capitol is being thrilled by stories of the fighting on tfye Western front related by soldiers wounded in the desperate combats which have -resulted in im portant gains for the allies. "For several days the Germans had been getting singularly aggressive and insolent," said one of the men who charged at Souchez. "They shouted insults at us and flung into our trenches notes wrapped around pebbles. One of their favorite taunts was 'you are too cowardly to come over here—come on if you are not too lazy.' This ended by getting on our nerves. It seemed to each one of us that we had not only France to de fend, but a personal insult to wipe out. "Thus, when, at 12:45 on the 25th, the order came which sent us against hill No. 119 we were filled with Joy. I was in the first 'wave.' We made one dash for the German trenches. Fifty yards from the goal machinte guns took us hut we put on speed and jumped over the first trench without stopping. We knew the second 'wave' which followed would occupy the trench we passed. "What struck me about this rush, the force and rapidity of which was incredible, was the smallness of our I losses. Personally I saw no one kill ed. Things changed, however, when we got between the first and second line of trenches. Until our supporting 'wave' arrived we underwent the united fire of both lines. It was then that fragment of shell broke my arm | and put me out of action." ; G<»rmanv Wants Guarantee ! That Present War Will Not Repeated By Associated Press Berlin.
