Rider against the I water company. The Rider-York Haven Company j controversy has figured in tlie courls tor the last several years. It grew out of Rider's claim for damages to his land when the water from the river was diverted by the construc tion of the dam. The question of eminent domain had been raised and the court to-day holds that while the water company could operate under that right, it failed to observe certain j technicalities. Among other things | the company neglected to file its bond to cover possible damages to Rider's property when the dam was built. At the January term of Common Pleas Court a jury will consider a j trespass action brought by Rider to recover damages against the com pany. Lawyers believe that If a ver dict is allowed Rider, the court will entertain a motion to set aside the original judicial order affecting the dam. The court had ordered the dam removed and It is believed that if the company settles Rider's claim for damages the dam may remain intact. Wilson Ignores Congress as No President Has Ever Dared to Do Washington, D.

CAMDEN TOSSERS HERE SATURDAY Eastern Leaguers Are Again Factors in Race; Indepen dents Work Hard Daily « The Harrisburg Independents expect another hard game Saturday night when they line up against the Camden Eastern League team. The Camden boys are setting a fast pace in the league race and are rapidly moving toward the top in the standing. They got away to a poor start, losing many games because of dissention among the players, but their differ ences have been patched up and they are in a winning Streak. Last week the "Skeeters" set up a new scoring record against the DeNeri team, in two games scoring 45 field goals. These two victories put the Camden boys in the race again, and while they are four and a half games behind the Greys, they are far from being de clared out of the race. The Independents held their weekly scrimmage against the Central High team yesterday afternoon. Captain McCord gave special attention to the defense, so that the team will be able to break up the plays of the Camden team.

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY BANK CALL ASKS i FOR ALL FACTS | Comptroller Wants to Know if i National Institutions Are Vio lating State Usury Laws jmjj p*lvtjosyy if# Washington. Jan. 6. The Comp troller of the Currency to-day Issued a call to nil national banks requiring them to report to him their condition at the close of business on Friday, De cember 31. In to-day's call the Comptroller goes further than at any previous time to learn if money is being loaned by na tional banks In violation of State usury laws. He asks for a list of loans by all banks during 1915, "upon which interest was charged or collected, either in the shape of interest, dis count or commission, at rates which would amount to more than the equiv alent of six per cent, per annum." "Banks are cautioned," says the call, "to prepare this statement with care and accuracy. When this report shall Have been received national bank ex aminers will be Instructed to verify the reports submitted by some banks, and if errors or discrepancies should be discovered which may seem to make it necessary in order to secure accur acy to verify the reports submitted by all banks, the examiners will be given Instructions accordingly." The call also asks banks to state whether it* is their custom to require borrowers to carry deposits when loans are granted, how much they are now loaning, to nondepositors, and how much is loaned and not secured by collateral. The aggregate of amounts which borrowers have refused to pay banks because of alleged usury is asked, and also the total payments made by banks as penalties for usury. The call asks for complete information as to the connections of officers and directors of any bank in other banks or trust companies, their salaries, liability as payers, or indorsers and guarantors of paper, and the amount of over drafts against them. OLDEST GROOM OF YEAR TO WED YOUNG BRIDE The oldest groom-to-be of 1916 got his marriage license yesterday. He is Robert Franklin Seckler, of Bellefonte, a railroad pay clerk. He is a widower, his first wife's death having occurred on December 6, 1914. The bride-to-be Is Miss Carrie May Shontz, of Mifflin T burg. She is a bookkeeper and is 33 years old. Seckler is 63. HARRIS LOST TO TECH HIGH FIVE Found Ineligible Because of Unsatisfactory Scholastic Standing Basketball prospects at the Tech nical high school received a rude jolt to-day when it was announced that Harris, acting captain and the team's star forward, was declared ineligible by the school faculty because of unsat isfactory scholastic standing. He will be barred for one month at least. The loss of Harris, who has been playing a whirlwind game, and who has been the leading Maroon scorer, comes at an Inopportune time for the Tech five. Lancaster will be met by the locals in the Tech gymnasium Fri day evening in the third league game of the season. Next Wednesday Coach McConnell's proteges .will oppose the Lebanon ag gregation in the "Pretzel" town. It is likely that Coach McConnell will move Pollock from guard to for ward in his place or substitute Lloyd for Harris. In case of Pollock being changed from the defense to the offense, "Muzz" Miller will go in at the guard position. The locals are practicing hard'dally In the school gymnasium for the con test to-morrow evening with Lancas ter and will enter the game more de termined even though handicapped by the loss of Harris. Derry Street Men's Class Committee Chairmen to Be Named Following Dinner The monthly dinner of the men's Bible class of Derry Street United Brethren Church. Fifteenth and Derry strets, will be held to-morrow night at 7.45 o'clock in the social rooms of the church. Following the dinner a busi ness meeting will be held, when pluns for 1916 will be discussed. The class has elected officers for the year and O. K. Kines. who has been re-elected president, will name his ex ecutive committee and committee chairmen. The new officers, in addi tion to Mr. Kines, are as follows: H. W. Rebe, vice-president; Earl 11. Stauffer, treasurer; D. F. Saul, secre tary; J. R. Henry, chorister; C. L. Shepley, assistant chorister; Earle E. Renn, orchestra leader; Arthur Bush man, assistant orchestra leader. WELLY'S M CORNER Yesterday's sale of the Cubs brings baseball peace nearer final action. Considering the large amount of cash involved in getting rid of troublesome outlaws, it pays to go slow. One bad break may cause a loss of thousands of dollars after the season starts. Indications are th&t baseball will get a late start this year. The minors are far behind their annual schedules. Usually teams are in good shape by this time as far as contracts arc con cerned. Some of the minor leagues j have not made a start. They cannot i do much until the controversy between the International League and Ameri can Association regarding Federal ter- I ritor.v is settled. I News From Sportland Last night at Steelton. Enhaut ex liigli five won from the Y. M. H. A., tossers, score 20 to 13. Fielder Jones of last season's St. Louis Federal team will manage the Browns. He assumed charge yester day. It is understood that Cleveland will be purchased by outsiders. Local capitalists do not want the club. The annual series of clay target contests between Highspire and Mid dletown Gun clubs will start Satur day, January 15 at Highspire. Middletown will play Hershey on the latter's floor to-morrow night. Captains and managers of the Iloltzman Duckpin League will meet to-morrow night to arrange a sche dule. NEW LEAGUE WINNERS In the P-R-I-N-T-S Duckpin League series last night at the Har risburg Academy, the "R" team de feated "P," scores 465 to 504. The "T" team won from the "S" five, scores 529 to 487; and the "I" five had the best of the "N" bowlers, scores 475 to 289. NEW LEAGUE STARTS The 1-larrlsburg Pipe and Pipe Bonding Company's Bowling League started last night. The "11-7" trick live won over the "8-3" bowlers, scores 2156 to 1868. Luper of the winning team bowled 486 for high game score, and Stough of the losing five had high individual score, 199 pins. 11 Action taken to-dny by tfte faculty of Technical high school in declaring n basketball star ineligible because of liis scholastic failures is in keeping with the policy ot' that school. Dr. Charles B. Kager. Jr., at the beginning of athletic history at that Institution, made it. plain that scholastic standing is the first thins to be considered. No matter how valuable an athlete may be. he must show the required aver ages. "Bob" Kolwells, the new football coach at University of Pennsylvania, is losing little time In setting down to business. He is considering a number of candidates to assist him. It is likely that Folwell will be succeeded at Washington and Jefferson by "Bill" Hollenbaek. Dr. "Wharton may be assistant at Penn. Central High Girls to Start Season Next Week Central High girls will start their basketball season Friday night Jan. 1 4 at Chestnut Street Hall. The first game will be with the girls' team from Lebanon High school. The local "Co- Eds" will play nine games. Miss Ruth Richards the manager has ar ranged a good schedule. This year's team includes two of last season's stars, Miss Helen Rote who will be captain, and Miss Rich ards. Other positions will be filled after Coach McCord has had several practice games.
