TO SET WHEELS
MOVING UNDER
HARDSCRABBLE
Seitz Plans to Proceed to Take
Over Properties; Won't
Wait Appellants
MANY AGREED TO AWARD
Others Will Question Sums Al-
Lowed by Viewers; City's
Victory Applauded
Acting on the presumption that the
city's attitude in the "Hardscrabbie"
condemnation proceeding is legally
correct. City Solicitor D. S. Seitz de
clared to-day that he will at once
set in motion the machinery which
will lead to the actual taking over of
the property in question.
Whether or not counsel for the af
fected property owners will appeal to
the higher courts from Additional Law
Judge S. J. M. McCarrell's opinion on
the technical bases of the proceeding
has not been definitely determined by
all the litigants although it is ex
pected that some will carry the mat
ter up.
The majority of them it is believed
are content to accept the Dauphin
court's view of the matter so far as
the city's right to proceed as it has
is concerned, although there will, of
course, be some question raised as to
the amount of the award allowed.
That the question of appeal from
the viewers' award cannot materially
affect the case except as to the sum
that may be allowed by a jury, is the
concensus of opinion in legal circles.
Whether or not the litigants will care
to expend the time and money to carry
the case to the appellate courts on
the question of technicality is a mat
ter of conjecture.
Actual lia zing in Spring
Of course it has been generally un
derstood that me actual razing of
the buildings will not be attempted
until next Spring and the rendering
of a decision in the case Saturday may
not materially change this plan, it is
said Nevertheless City Solicitor D. S.
Seitz will go ahead with the arrang
ing of details which will lead to the
filing of the city's bonds.
More than half of the property
owners of "Hardscrabbie" according
to Mr. Seitz have agreed to accept the
sum allowed by the viewers and they
breathed a sigh of relief Saturday
when it was finally determined that
they could dispose of their properties.
Bonds will be filed in these cases and
the city can proceed when it wishes.
"So far as we are concerned," said
Mr. Seitz," we consider that the city
has won and we doubt very much if
an appeal to the higher courts would
make any difference. In fact I'm sure
that the city will be sustained even
' appeal is taken. So we are go
ing to proceed with the next steps
on that presumption."

executive councils of the governing
boards of trade unions, but had not
yet been passed upon by the local
unions. In other cases the unions
have empowered their officials to call
them out. One of the large unions

Machine Takes 75-Foot Drop to
Creek Bank; Occupant Es
capes Serious Injury
Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 25. — Ira
Kuntzelman, postmaster at Bain
bridge, Lancaster county, had an al
most miraculous escape rrom death at
Eppley's Rocks, along the Conodo
guinet creek Just west of Carlisle
when he backed his automobile over
the cliff and fell 75 feet, landing on
a pile of rocks.
Kuntzelman with W. A. Wetzel and
J. C. Matthews, both of Carlisle, was
on a fishing trip. They were prepar
ing to return home and the Bain
bridge man got into lys car, a light
touring "machine, to turn it around.
It started to run backwards down a
bank and before he could get the
brakes to hold it went backward over
the cliff carrying him with it. The
machine turned four complete revolu
tions and landed on a rock at the
creek side with the engine still run
ntng. Kuntzelman was thrown out on
the second turn and fell 40 feet. His
companions expected to find him dead,
but on going to the bottom found him
in a crouching position on a pile of
stones, badly shaken up and .bruised
but otherwise unhurt. He rallied
sufficiently to shut off the machine in
a few minutes.
HOTEL DIRECTORS
TAKE OVER PLOT
Formal Transfer of Opera
House Site Is Being Arranged
This Afternoon
The directors of the new hotel com
pany will meet late this afternoon to
complete arrangements for the ap
plication of a charter for the organiza
tion under the name of the Harris
burg Hotel Company. This will be
done at once and while the charter
is being advertised as required by law
the directors will take up the matter
of the selection ot an architect and
will consider the type of building best
suited to the needs of the city.
Jesse E. B. Cunningham, counsel
for the Chamber of Commerce, on
Saturday met in Philadelphia. Hamp
ton IJ. Carson, former Attorney Gen
eral of the State and administrator of
the Whiteman estate, took up the
option held by the hotel committee on
the Grand Opera House site, at Third
and Walnut streets, which the White
man Estate owns. The formal trans
fer of the property will be arranged
at the meeting of the directors to
day. •
The Rotary Club hotel committee
is hard at work and will complete Its
round-up by to-morrow afternoon. It
Is meeting with success. The commit
tee will meet to-morrow evening at
the offices of John S. Musser in the
rear of the Dauphin Electrical Sup
plies Company store at 434 Market
street, to make report and arrange to
continue the canvass.
The selection of a name is still in
doubt. Prof. John Phillips, the well
known musician, suggests the follow
ing:
"The new hotel is really going to
be a community affair. Therefore I
suggest the name Community Hotel cr
Community House. I think we ought
to leave political or Indian names out.
We are past that sort of thing, I
hope."

Advocate Elimination of
"Damn" From Prayer Book
Harsh and Has Bad Influence
New York, Sept. 25.—Elimination
of the word "damn" from the Episco
pal prayer book and the substitution
of the word "condemn" is recom
mended by the commission on revision
of the prayer book In a report to be
submitted to the triennial convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
at St. Louis next month.
It is proposed to change the dis
approved word in parts of the Scrip
ture when it is quoted in the liturgical
services. The commission argues that
"condemn" is a more correct trans
lation of the Greek word. The com
missioner!! suggest that "damn" is
harsh, interferes with the beauty of
the service and that its use in church
has a bad influence on the young.
