Beisser. of Lemoyne, a Pennsylvania Railroad policeman, and that which wounded Hnrry Chubb, of Harrisburg, another officer, Archie Miller, a negro, was held for the November session of the Cum berland county court on a charge of murder. His companion, Jasper Fletcher, aged 17, was ordered to be kept In jail pending a further Investi gation. A decision in his case will be Ki\en Friday. Miller stated in his testimony that he carried the automatic with which he did the shooting as a protection against railroad "•bulls." two of whom, | lie claimed, took money from him as lie was leaving Utica, N. Y., on his j route to this section. He further said j he fired when he saw the officers pre- ! Bumably reaching for their weapons. Fletcher said he had only known j Miller for a short time.

"These negroes cannot be reformed, over night. It is a gradual process and they must be taught that the law > Is supreme, and then taught to obey the law. Both the police force in Steel- j ton and Harrisburg should be in creased so that the departments are adequate!y equipped to enforce the law,'' was one of the statements made' by Manager Bent during the confer- i ence. To Keep Men From Saloons in speaking of the sale of liquor to these negroes he explained that the Bethlehem company will do every-j thing possible to furnish recreation which will keep the negroes from saloons. He told the committee that > he will do anything possible and will meet them to discuss the situation whenever they have further sugges tions or plans. Following the conference Chief "Wetzel announced at police headquar ters that immediate action will be taken to prevent the sale of liquor in discriminately In the city. With the • co-operation and help of the Steelton police and the Bethlehem company force of special officers, the Harris- : burg official declared that much can be accomplished to bring about or-1 der and end the wave of lawlessness! and murder. Dr. Crampton, head of the Colored Law and Order League, is also plan-1 nlng a campaign of co-operation | which will be a big help in educating; the Southern negroes to become ' peaceful and law-abiding citizens.
