York Haven Dam May
Not Be Destroyed Is
Opinion of Lawyers
Whether or not the York Haven
Water and Power Company must tear
out 1 Ite big dam across the eastern
channel of the Susquehanna at Duf
fey'B Island, after all, is considered
i problematical by many lawyers in
I view of the opinion handed down to
| day by the Dauphin county court in
i the case of John B. 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

Fall declared:
"I have never known of a time be

to ignore the Congress of the United
States as it has been ignored by the

Washington, Jan. 6. President
Wilson told callers to-day that before

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.

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

The oldest groom-to-be of 1916 got

a railroad pay clerk. He is a widower,
his first wife's death having occurred
on December 6, 1914. The bride-to-be

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

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.
