WEDNESDAY EVENING,
COURT ASKED TO
END CHAUTAUQUA
Stockholders of Mt. Gretna In
stitution Bring Quo Warranto
Proceedings
Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 2. Yesterday
quo warranto proceedings were insti
tuted before Judgo C. V. Henry of
i the Lebanon County Court, to bring
i about the dlsolution of the Pennsyl
vania Chautauqua Association of Mt.
'Gretna. In 1892. the association
opened a summer school at the Mt.
Gretna grounds with a capital of $30,-
000 Dr. Wilmer R. Bott of Harris
burg, a stockholder, declares that the
Mt. Gretna summer school has been
discontinued, and with the exception
of Sunday services the Chautauqua Is
doing practically nothing to carry out
the purposes of Its incorporation
the advancement of literary and
scientific attainment among the peo
! pie and the promotion of popular cul
j ture in the interest of Christianity.
[ Complaint is also made that the
Chautauqua has undertaken to exer
i else rights and privileges not granted
i nor permitted under its charter in its
recent acquirement by purchase of
! land not necessary, the construction
of water works and a sewerage dis
posal system in that it has levied a
tax upon the 140 cottagers who own
properties on the Chautauqua reserva
tion, but has failed to assess the
Chautauqua holdings. The writ was
made returnable by Judge C. V. Henry
president of the Lebanon county court
on September 18.
A separate suit has also been Insti
tuted by Andrew Dotter of Lebanon
who as a cottage owner seeks to have
the Chautauqua managers enjoined
from enforcing the collection of a
special "debt liquidation tax."

RUSH TROOPS TO
REPET INVASION
[Continued From First Page]
the cavalry column said three hours
search of the hills disclosed no trace
of bandits.
The infantry, transported in motor
trucks Is being held at Fort Hancock
together with a motorcycle squad also
sent from El Paso to reinforce the
cavalry, should the trail of the bandits
be picked up.
Reports to General Bell estimated
the number of bandits variously from
50 to IVS.
A thorough search of the territory
between Finlay and Fort Hancock by
United States regulars failed to dis
close any Mexican bandits. This In
formation was contained In reports to
General George Bel, Jr. Troops had
been sent to the district early to-day
upon receipts of advices that approxi
mately 150 bandits had crossed the
Rio Grande.
Discolored or Spotty
Skin Easily Peeled Off
The freckling, discoloring or roughen
! ing to which most skins are subject at
this season, may readily be gotten rid
of. Mercolized wax, spread lightly
over the face before retiring and re
| moved in the morning with soap and
! water, completely peels off the dis
! figured skin. Get an ounce of the wax
)at any druggist's. There's no more ef
fective way of banishing tan, freckles
|or other cutaneous defects. Little skin
particles come off each day, so the pro
cess itself doesn't even temporarily mar
' the complexion, and orte soon acquires
! a brand new, spotless, girlish beautiful
: face.
Wrinkles caused by weather, worry
| or illness, are best treated by a simple
solution of powdered saxolite, one
ounce, dissolved in one-half pint witch
hazel. Bathing the face in this pro
duces a truly marvelous transfor
: illation.

Joe Pollock, the gtnlal grinder of
the hurdy gurdy, who is tramping over
the city daily in the interest of the
strikers' fund, has been working at
this job less than a week, he said, and
he has already collected more than
S7OO. The money is to be used in as
sisting strikers' families.
The greatest single day's receipts,
he said, totaled $198.56; the smallest
was something more than $56. Money
is contributed in sumr, that vary from
I the $5 bill of the wealthier strike sym
pathizer to the pennies of the sympa
thetic children. In one street in Steel
ton Pollock said he collected $58.32.
At various points along the route girls
and young women offered to play the
piano and nearly every evening the
; hurdy gurdy has to grind out music
' for impromptu dances in the street.

Detective Shuler was en route to his
home on a Hill car. The car stopped
at Cameron and Market streets to al

of boarding the car the conductor was
called vile names. Detective Shuler
ordered the car stopped and he got
off and arrested Gentzler.
Chairman McLaughlin Issues
a Statement to the Public
The following statement was issued
to-day by Hugh L. McLaughlin, hcair
man of the executive committee of the
trolleymen's union:
"•Public sentiment is one of the
strongest assets that any person or
body of man can have bacg of them,
and the striking trolley men are proud
of the support given them by the peo
ple of Harrisburg and suburbs.
"Even "when cars have beeni run by
strike-breakers or those willing to take
the jobs of the men who have gone out
as a protest against Mr. Musser's
methods, over 90 per cent, of the peo
ple have refrained from riding on the
trilley cars, evn whn thr hastaoln ee
trolley cars, even when there has been
no riot or disorder. If the solution of
the street car strike was left with the
public, it would decide almost unani
mously In favor of the striking trolley
men and will continue to ride in the
Jitneys until snow flies, if permitted to
do so by the Mapor and City Commis
sioners.
"Last Fall, an ordinance was passed,
at the reuest of the railways company,
to tax the jitneys out of existence.
"The arbitrary action of the com
pany toward its employes and its re
fusal to arbitrate the issues involved,
is the appreciation the railways com- i
pany shows for receivliy; a Jitney or- j
dinance to suit its own ideas. If the j
railways company proposes to rule
with an iron hand, the people may!
give them a taste of their own medi- I
cine and insist on a repeal of the jit- j
ney ordinance, and let the public
choose, its own method of transporta
tion. If the company deprives the;
men o fa decent living wage, why
shouldn't the public deprive the com
pany of what It considers a decent
dividend on its questionable stock
transactions? If the 90 per cent, of
people, who have rebuked'the railways
company by "riding in automobiles or
walking, should petition the commis
sioners 10 repeal the jitney ordinance,
how many of the commissioners would
care to oppose the public will?
"The greatest sin that we have com
mitted is to act in unison. Mr. Musser
says he will deal with us only as "indi
viduals." He hr.s had this opportunity
for five years, but has simply Jollied
us, given us a "stall" and made unre
deemed promises. Why shouldn't the
men have a right to unite as well as
capital ? The stockholders have a few ;
thousand dollars each and, individual- I
ly„ they realize that they cannot get :
as good earnings on the money, indl- j
vidually, as they can collectively, so j
they form a corporation and select Mr. I
Musser to produce greater earnings
on money invested. If the corpor- j
ation employs three hundred men, that j
means that Mr. Musses controls three
hundred units of capital with which to
pay three hundred units of labor.
'Mr. Smith, the one unit of lahor,
comes to Mr. Musser with a grievance.
Mr. Musser tells him he is sorry, that
it's a free country and If Smith don't i
like his Job, he can uit. He still has'
two hundred and ninety cogs in the
labor wheel to keep the machinery!
running until he can get another cog j
to replace Smith. Shortly after this,
Mr. Jones comes with his grievance
and he is told the Fame story as Smith.
The men profit by experience and de
cide they cannot sell their labor to ad
vantage as individuals, because Mr. i
Musser, with three hundred units of j
capital, concentrated under his author- '
ity. is three hundred times as strong
a the individuals, because Mr. Musset. I
with three hundred units of capital,
concentrated under his authority, is
three hundred times as strong as the
individual labor unit that dares to op
pose him. Consequently, the employes
form a union or association, same as
all professional men or employes do,
to reguldte their affairs to their own
advantage. But tne minute labor at
tempts to sell Its product collectively,
there Is a protest. Mr. Musser knows
that he is at the hea of one of the
greatest unions in existence, with affi
liations in every city and State. He :
objects to the men having an outsider
to assist them, but he can call In his
attorneys to advise him and press
agents to write for him and import the
renegades fro mthe metropolitan dis
tricts to come here and betray the men
for the twenty pieces of silver, when
no local men with self-respect would
| undertake the Job.
Mr. Musser. you are your brother's
• keeper and whatever 111 befalls him.
j must, eventually, react upon you. His
i prosperity makes the community pros
> perous. If you refeat the men, you
may think It is your victory. But the
I victory is already won as the strike
j has already forced concessions which
I you never would have granted without
the united effort of the strikers. Should
I these benefits be absorbed by the

"sponges" on duty, who wish to soap
up everything without contributing
anything for their fellowmen, that is
immaterial except for the time being
and the few who must suffer. But pos
sibly the present strike has shown the
hand-writing on the wall.
"The rubber-tired vehicles care for
the throngs with very little Inconven
ience. How would yoJ like to see the
streets of Harrisburg thrown wide
open tothe jitney bus, with only a rea
sonable tax and a fidelity bond? Then,
if the dividends of your company
should dwindle to the ertent of putting
it in the hands of a receiver, the city
might issue bonds and buy it at a bar-
gain figure, the way you try to buy
labor. It was an easy matter for you to
have that jitney ordinance passed last
Fall, but it is just as easy for this
commission, or another, to repeal it.
"V ou may have a perpetual franchise,
but to-day it Is possible to put rubber
tired competitors on the streets any
time the voter chooses to break your
monopoly. The city can run its own
water works and other cities operate
other public utilities with profit and
reduced rates to the public, possibly
Harrisburg will see its opportunity for
acquiring municipal ownership of its
street car lines.
"We ask for nothing unreasonable.
