WEBSTER, 228 S. 14 th St, Bell 2643-R \ TUESDAY EVENING, NO ACTION ON TAX QUESTION Mcclianicsburg Council Post pones Proposition to With draw Trolley Suit Mechanicsburg, Pa., March 13.—As a result of strong public sentiment, backed by many of tho most promi nent businessmen and citizens of tewn, headed by Burgess Mishler, the Bor ough Council, last evonlng, by a voto of 3 to 0, postponed Indefinitely ac tlou on tho resolution proposing that tho borough, through Its attorneys, withdraw proceeding)) already Insti tuted for tho collootlon of unpaid franchlso taxes duo the borough from tho Valley Kallwayt) Company. Tho council chamber was crowded when they meeting' wub called to order by Councilman Pish, acting for tho presi dent, Mr. Kurns, who was übuent on account of sickness. Burgess Mishlor appeared beforo Council and strongly protested against any pussuge of the resolution boforo the Council to withdraw tlio equity proceedings scheduled for March 20. He declared that to pass this resolu tion would he to "dismiss tho bor ough's attorneys und let the interests of the citizens go to the four winds." None of tho councllmen spoke on the Shaub resolution, except Pish and Ir | vine, the former making several at tempts to forestall Its passage as by a suggestod amendment that tho ques tion bo submitted to the voto of the people at the November election, which, it was polntod out, could not be done. ; Council's action last evening is an other chapter in a contest which has ! lasted for a number of years, dating back to 1911, when tho borough coun cil, acting under a clause In tho ordi nance granting tho trolley company, then the Cumberland Valley Elec tric Company, tho franchise to use the streets of the town, passed an ordi nance which lixed the tax to be paid by the company at $1,200 per annum. The trolley company at onco went into court, seeking to have this ordinance declared Illegal and void, as unrea sonable and excessive, but In a decis ion handed down by Judge Porter, of the Superior Court, and affirmed on I appeal to the' Supremo Court, the court decided that Judge Glllan, called in to try the case, had been correct in holding the lower court without Juris diction in tl.e matter, and the Superior Court went on to say that the exercise of the taxing power in question \yas a perfectly valid one. The borough then instituted an ac tion to secure payment of this annual tax, and this suit has never been de cided, chiefly due to the fact that tho trolley company began equity proceed ings to enjoin the borough from col lecting the tax. It is this latter piece of litigation which is to be argued on the 20th of this month. The borough's action at law is to recover the back taxes since 1911, with interest, now amounting to about $8,200. The whole matter now rests on the outcome of the equity proceed ings on the 20th of this month. - FEWER DELEGATES COMING The number of delegates for the an nual convention of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor to be held here May 8 to 11, probably will be smaller than in former years.

The ses sions of the conventions are held in ; various cities in alternate years. Scran ton will probably be the next meeting place. Druggist Tells How To Stop Indigestion Recommends to Stomach Sufferers the Hest Remedy In Harrlshurit To-day 1 "It* is a wonder some of us have I stomachs left." remarked a well-known I j drug clerk recently. "While all drug I I stores sell a score or more of stomach remedies for which there is a wide de- I mand, most of them are just pepsin pills which aid or artificially force di -1 srestion of the food that is in the stom j ach at the present time. Tljev have no [curative or strengthening effect on the | stomach at all, and of course do not , reach or cure the cause. So the same! people keep on coming here and buying j and using them until they are real | chronic dyspeptics. When anyone reallv asks my advice I swear by and rec ommend ordinary bisurated magnesia, which doesn't digest the food at all but j acts as an antacid and sweetens the ! sour, fermenting contents of the stom ach. That stops the pain, heart-burn, sour rising, gas bloating, fullness, etc., in just a few minutes, and the stom ach digests its food without help or | trouble, which is the proper way. "Of course there are manv kinds of! magnesia but people who have stomach trouble should insist on getting it in | the form of Bisurated Magnesia. This comes in powdered form and in tablets I —never as a liquid or milk. A lot of | bisurated magnesia is sold in Harris j burg. All drugKists have it and a teas- I poonful in a little water after every l meal will quickly relieve almost anv ; case of acid indigestion. Geo. A. Gorga's | can supply you.—Adv. Little Coal on the Surface That's the situation. Yards have never been so short of fuel at this season of the year. And there's no prospect of improve ment. The chances are it will keep the collieries busy the entire spring and summer to supply the imme diate needs of the market. Conditions will not permit of any getting ahead of the demand to accumulate a surplus. If you need coal buy it at once. H. M. KELLEY & CO.

Prepara- I tions to send out American merchant ships armed and guarded against sub-, j marines have revealed a possible shortage of American sailors. It is I understood that the American line, I of whose passenger vessels has sailed | from Europe since th beginning of the German blockade, will need two j thousand men. Gtistave A. Braun, j secretary of the Atlantic district of the International Seamen's Union of 1 America, expresses doubt that so many men can be furnished by ho f union at short notice, j Other difficulties, according to Mr. | Braun, may arise from the fact that i many of the union seamen ar not ; American citizens.. Some are Ger | mans; others are citizens of the en i tente nations and reluctant to go to ports where they might be held for army service. Six thousand of the i union men, Mr. Braun said, expect to go to the Great .Lakes where naviga- I ion will open next month. The union will meet to-morrow night to consider the offer of the In j ternational Mercantile Marine, own -1 er of the American line, of a 50 per ! cent, bonus. The union has demand ;ed a 75 per cent, bonus. The steam ship company also promises to take cars of the dependents of seamen who j may lose their lives in service, to ir ; sure their clothes in case of loss an 1 ; to assure them transportation back to j New York if their vessels are sunk. American Surgeon Is Rescued When Liner Is Sunk by U-Boat By Associated Press Washington, March 13.—The sink ing of the Ounard non-passenger liner Folio, with one American on board, was reported to the State Department to-day in a preliminary dispatch from Consul Frost, at Queenstown, as fol lows: "Ounard non-passenger Folio sunk off Waterford, Tenth.

She was a vessel of 6,705 tons gross, built in 1907, originallv the | Italian liner Principe de Pieni'onte. Later she was bought by the Uranium Line and renamed the Principello. The Cunurd Lir.e bought her and changed the name to the Folio. The vessel was commanded by Cap tain Thomas Inch, who was formerly commander of the Uranium Lino steamship Volturno, which was burned at sea with the loss of 136 lives. Local Railroad and Brotherhood Officials Silent on Strike Order Officials of the Pennsylvania rail road and Reading Railway Company first learned through the Harrisburg Telegraph of the proposed plans of the Brotherhoods to strike. No sttaement was made as to the course to be pursued here in the event of a strike. While none of the officials would commit themselves as to the probable outcome, it was intimated that no ac tion would be taken until more definite information was at hand. Members of the legislative boards of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men and Order of Railway Conduc tors, whose headquarters are at Room 205 Calder Building, were also non committal as tothe outcome. The gen eral belief was that nothing could be done at this time except wait for the result of the conference in New York on Thursday.
