Killing the CalTes
—All sorts of excuses are
offered for the high price of
beef, the most plausible be
ing the alleged demand for
veal —"the killing of calves
which should be allowed to
grow into regular beef." You
cannot have beef if you eat
it as "veal", but you can have
Shredded Wheat Biscuit
which contains more real
nutriment than beef and
costs much less. Shredded
wheat biscuit is the whole
wheat steam-cooked, shred
ded and baked. Make it your
"meat" for ten days and see
how much better you feel.

Many Thousands in N. Y.
Forced to Go Without Milk
as Result of Deadlock
New York. Oct. 6. —A difference
only as to the length of the contracts
to be given by the New York distribu
tors to the farmers existed to-day
when the State opened Its Investiga
tion of the deadlock which has kept
this city on a short supply of milk for
several days.
The Dairymen's League will at
to show that the farmers have been
Belling milk at a loss. The distribu
tors intend to produce evidence to sus
tain their charge that the league is a
combination in restraint of trade.
The continuance of the deadlock to
day resulted in a still more serious
situation in respect to the milk sup
ply. Horning deliveries were still fur
ther diminished and many thousands
were unable to procure milk at all.
To prevent a recurrence of yester
day's scenes on the upper East Side
when hundreds of women stormed
milk depots extra details of police were
on duty to-day. The women again
swarmed to the depots, soon exhaust
ing the supplies, but there was no dis
order.

FRIDAY EVENING,
U. E. CHURCH WILL
NOT BUY PLOT
Refuse to Pay $44,500 For Site
Owned by School
Board
Announcement was made this after
noon that tho official board of the
Evangelical Publishing House of the
United Evangelical Church, refused to
ratify the recommendation of the
executive committee to purchase the
site bounded by Third, Harris, Boyd
and Susquehanna streets, from the
city school board for $44,500. The
reason given for tho action was that
the price was more than the company
had planned to pav for a site.
An option had already been ob
tained on the plot, it was said, and
this afternoon the school board was
to have approved the sale upon recom
mendation of its finance committee.
Notification of the withdrawal of the
publishing house offer was not re
ceived officially at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
Tho plot Is half of tho property i
owned by the city school board. The i
entire site was bought at a cost of
$82,500 in 1912, as a possible site for
a High'school, but tho plan was
abandoned. Officials of the Evangel
ical Publishing houso, It was said. In- |
tended to arrange for the erection of j
a big publishing plant on the site.
Two years may elapse, it is said,
before any further action is taken to
obtain a site for a new plant, It was
announced. According to officials the
present location is too small because
of the increased publishing done by
the Evangelical company.
At the city school hoard meeting
this afternoon the finance committee
recommended the payment of bills
totaling $7,008.43; and that the con
tract for printing the annual school
board report be awarded to the Tele
graph Printing Company.
The buildings and grounds commit
tee asked that the contract for plant
'ng and surfacing the grounds of the
W. S. Steele building be awarded tho
Berryhlll Nursery Company, at Its bid
of $1,498. The appointment of George
Davis, assistant Janitor at the Cameron
Building, and William Shepler assist
ant Janitor at the Maclay building,
was also advised.
Federal Farm Loan Board
Will Meet Here, Oct. 17
Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—Hearings
by the Federal Farm Loan Board to
gather information for its guidance in
dividing the country Into districts and
locating the twelve farm loan banks

The Itinerary announced to-day calls
for the following hearings: October 16,
Trenton, N. J.; October 17, Harrls
burg, Pa., and October 18, Baltimore.
The board is being deluged with re
quests from farmers for organization
of local farm loan associations. This,
in the opinion of members of the
board, assures the success of the farm
loan bank system. Already there are
approximately 6,000 applications on
file with the board for positions, with
few opportunities of appointment.
Each Federal bank in the twelve dis
tricts will have an attorney, a farm
loan registrar to supervise the issue of
bonds and several land appraisers to
inspect securities. These appointments
will be made from among (•andidates
in the respective districts as far as
possible.

fiARRISBURG dSpHS TELEGRAPH!
RIDIN' HOME AFTER THE SANDS OF
Against the background of grim Mount Franklin, a little group of sun-browned, dusty olive-drab officers the
other day trotted across the hot sands along the Texas border, right into the focal range of the camera man. And
In the accompanying etching the Telegraph presents the finished result of that snapshot.
At first glance, you may think it is a relief column on the way to help Pershing; then, too. It has somewhat
the appearance of the right of the cavalry column of the Tenth regiment whose final story was dramatically told some
months since at Carrlzal.
But the etching doesn't deal with any of these things; It Is a view of Colonel Maurice E. Finney, commander
of the Eighth Pennsylvania regiment of the United Stated National Guard returning from a long, long hike, "some
where along the border." Hiding with the commander of the Eighth aro tho other officers of his staff, among whom
are Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Kemper, Major J. M. Peter:!, the regimental surgeon, Captain W. H. Baker, regimental
adjutant; Chaplain. Captuin Harry Nelson Bassler.
"On the way home after a long hike," is the cryptic way Colonel Finney describes the return from that ar
duous practice march in a letter to a friend In Harrisburg,
Plot to Kill Two Heads
of N. Y. Traction Companies
Unearthed; Arrests Made
New York. Oct. 6. —The police
promised more arrests to- day in con- :
nection with an alleged plot to kill ,
President Theodore P. Shonts, of tho i
Tntorborough Rapid Transit Company, !
and Frank Hedley, manager of the i
New York Railways Company. Two j
men said to bo striking subway guards,
arrested early this morning were held
on charges of stoning an elevated train. J
The police declared they had evi
dence that these men were Involved i
In the supposed conspiracy, but re- ■
j frained from bringing such a charge
against them until others were ar
rested.
According to detectives, one of them
who posed as a striker, got evidence
, ten days ago that plans were being
j laid to kill Shonts and Hedley. The
two traction officials were warned and
given permission to carry pistols. The
two men now under arrest were closely
watched until last night when they
wero seen taking part in an attack
upon an elevated train. Tho prisoners,
who gave their names us Oscar Wal
lace and John J. Sheeran, were ques
tioned for several hours to-day, but
the police said that to reveal the result
of this examination might hamper
them in continuing the investigation.

SYLVIA LICURSX
New York, Oct. 6. A kidnap
| ing mystery which agitated Chicago
six weeks ago has reached a climax
here.
Confession that she had stolen two
year-old Sylvia Licursi at the behest
of the child's father, whom she loved,
i Mrs. Belle Podolski appealed for aid
j in repairing the wrong she had done
i and extricating herself from its dis-
I tressing consequences.
Alone in New York, abandoned by
I the man for whose sake she had com
j mitted, under sensational circum
stances, an act which placed her in
i peril >f the law, burdened with an
-1 other woman's child, and face to face
jwith destitution, she craved an op
. portunity of returning little Sylvia to
! her mother.
I Mrs. Podolski admitted that she
| was "the woman in black" who had
puzzled the Chicago police by the skill
| and daring with which she had
| spirited the child from its home after
| winning the confidence of little
| Sylvia's vigilant grandmother.
To steal Frank Licursi's child for
I him she traveled from Detroit to Chi
! oago, executed her mission with blind
fidelity and returned to Detroit with
! her living prize.
I Her reward? When the police
! seemed to be getting hot on the trail
Licursi returned his baby to her and
bade her wring it to New York, prom
■ ising to join her here later and make
1 her his wife. She came, only to lind
I herself deserted.

VOTE AGAINST
CHURCH UNION
[Continued From First Page]
cipal reason given was that both
Churches would have to sacrifice some
of the principles Involved in their
doctrines to bring about a closer rela
tionship.
The letter from the Baptist Confer
ence was read late yesterday after
noon Just before the Eldership ad
journed. A request was made that a
committee be appointed to arrange
for a closer union between the two
organizations, but many of the Church
of God delegates expressed opinions
that while the entire Baptist con
ference in the East favored the plan,
if it were accepted by the local
Eldership, the step would be an in
itiative one on the part of one unit of
the General Eldership of the Church
of God.
A closed session of the Eldership
was held this morning, and the work
of each pastor during the last year
was carefully considered. Many of
the ministers were commended for
their good work while a few were
censured.
The closed session was resumed
again this afternoon and continued
until a late hour. To-morrow com
mittee reports will be considered by
the Eldership. Dr. W. H. Guyer,
president of Findlay College, Ohio,
will make the principal address at the
educational services this evening. To
morrow night missionary speakers will
be listed for addresses.

ceeded. E. J. Stackpole was chair
man. So eager were the committee
men to continue their organization
that, following the suggestion of Paul
Johnston, it was voted unanimously
to meet again at the old Board of
Trade rooms next Friday morning at
9.30 to report on memberships pro
cured during the week and to make a
whirlwind campaign of two hours, fol
lowed by luncheon at. the Harrisburg
Ctuli, to solicit subscriptions of stock
in the new million-dollar hotel.
The present committee of one hun

the Rotary Club hotel committee,
headed by John S. Musser, chairman,
will be included in the hotel cam

concern from Mr. Schwab down. The
Bethlehem company came into the
Chamber with fifty representatives, the
dues all to be paid by the company.
Those who have been conducting
the campaign are delighted with its
success. The committeemen in gen
eral reported that they had been
kindly received and that the general
belief of business and professional men
is that Harrisburg is just on the verge
of a new era of progress and pros- ,
perity, and with the true Harrisburg
spirit all. or nearly all of them, are
willing and anxious to assist.

British Armored Motorcars
Are a Failure Overseas
News Agency Asserts
Berlin, Oct. 6. By Wireless
The British armored motorcars which
were used for the first time in the gen
eral advance on the Somme front last
month, are a failure, the Overseas
News Agency says. f
"One of the tanks, built In Norfolk,
England, became hopelessly entangled
in barbed wire," says the news agency.
"Another tank was disabled by one
shell while advancing at a point north
of Flers. The ammunition which it
contatned exploded and It burned up.
Two other tanks were utilized in an
atttack at 7 a. m. on September 15
on the Guillemont-Combles road. One
of them was blown up with a hand
grenade when it had approached to
within thirty yards of the German
trenches. At the last moments its oc
cupants dispatched a carrier pigeon
from their modern Noah's ark. Six
machine guns were captured by tho
Germans. The other tank crawled to
the southern edge of Leuze wood and
was burned up.
"Only one of these land cruisers
succeeded in crossing German
trenches. This was annihilated by a
shell on the road to Ligny-Thllloy.
The British land fleet will soon be
composed of nothing but wrecks."
