RED CROSS IS
LAUDED FOR
HOME WORK
Little Notes of Appreciation
• Show Spirit With Which
Aid Is Received
Measures of Red Cross work, not
In dollars but in letters and notes of
appreciation, were made public yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of
the executive committee of the Har
risburg chapter. The little notes of
appreciation are treasured and ap
preciated by officials of the Red
dross as much as the daily records
of the huge sums of money raised as
the campaign grew nearer and final
ly went far past the SIOO,OOO mark.
It is the intention of the women
t headquarters to keep constantly
In touch with the ones whom the |
men called into service leave atj
home. Not in pecuniary assistance
alone, although money will not be
wanting when money is required,
But the little human touches to make
life .iust a trifle easier for the ones
at home, is what the Red Cross
workers consider their real work in
the long months to come.
A letter was received yesterday by
Mrs Lyman D. Gilbert, from a sol
dier now in service, thanking the
ladies of the Harrisburg Red Cross
for just a bit of encouragement and
help they had been able to extend to
a wife in this city when she needed
a human touch of sympathy and
kindenss the axjr Another letter,
from a man in service on the bor
der of the great lakes expressed the
same sentiment. His wife had called
at headquarters and the reception
Ihe ladies had given her when she
seemed most alone and friendless
had been the subject of a letter to
her husband. The husband, touched
by the spirit of the letter describing
the treatment she had received, in
duced him to write headquarters
thanking them in the name of a sol
dier of his country whose wife was
willing that he should go when he
was needed.
A letter was also received from a
young physician recently called into
service. The Red Cross had done
nothing but furnish him with one
of the kits they have sent to Har
-1 sbig men, yet the spirit back of
the little tribute prompted him to
thank and encourage the work.
The executive committee yester
day decided to have posted the
names of every member called into
active service, regardless of the
branch, it would already make
quite a large roll of honor and as
men or women are called into their
country's service another name will
be added to the Roll of Honor.
To keep in touch with these, as
well, who must bear the brunt of the
conflict as well as those who silently
fight it out in loneliness at home,
will also be a constant object in the
future. Each Harrisburg man or
woman in service means one deserv
ing of the support of the home chap
ter. Officials say, to establish a bond
of sympathy between them and the
ones who could not go will not be
the chief end and aim of the entire
membership who are left at home.
Judges' Salary Raiser
Report Is Approved
The conference report on the bill
to increase salaries of judges in
Westmoreland, Schuylkill, Dauphin,
Lancaster, Fayette, Berks, Cambria
and Montgomery counties, was
adopted in the House to-day by 121

had been challenged. The bill origi
nally applied only to Westmoreland
and Schuylkill, but the Senate added
the other six counties. The report
was once defeated in the House but
was reconsidered.
Messrs Home, Cambria; Black,
Dauphin, Wallace, Lawrence, spoke
against the bill, but Mr. Stern, Phila
delphia, declared that judges were
entitled to more salary. Mr. Snyder,
Westmoreland, and Mr. Home chal
lenged votes of Messrs. Ramsey and

House and asserted that they had
voted. On a challenge of the vote of
Mr. Snowden, Allegheny, alleged not
to have been present an investigation
was ordered.

How Frederick Richcreek, charged
with the murder of Ephraim Silber
man, a peddler, explained a week after
the crime was committed, how the

During the morning, Richcreek, sit
ting beside his brother, watched in
tently as each witness explained to
the jury where the defendant stood
and the place on the other side of the
towpath where Silbernian was sitting
when shot.
The witnesses who were called
were ones who had been with County
Detective Waiters when he took liich
creek to the scene to explain the
shooting. Kichcreek's story, as told
by these witnesses, was thta lie was
hunting in the old canal bed, near
Middleiown, and saw a partridge tly
up over the towpath. Firing at the
partridge, Richcreek heard a groan
and climbed the bank, finding Silber
nian lying on the other side, accord
ing to the explanation repeated as
given to Mr. Walters.
Maps and pictures of the scene of
the shooting, and sheets of paper, pep
pered with shot-holes to show the
force of the gun's discharge at short
range, were produced in evidence as
the District Attorney neared the clos
ing of the web of evidence around the
youth, whose lite hangs in the bal
ance. The defense may open this af

PEOPLE MUST
DEFEND RIGHTS
So State Bar Hears; Hargest
Reviews Legislative
Progress
By Associated Press
Bedford Spring, Pa., June 26. —
"A people unwilling io fight for the
rifcht to make th<slr own laws sooner
or later will be compelled to fight
for the maintenance of the
er's right to make their laws."
This was the dominant note In the
address of Cyrus G. Derr, president,
at the opening session of the twenty
third annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania Bar Association here to
day.
Satisfactory progress in the at
tempt to bring about uniform legis
lation among the States was report
ed by William M. Hargest, of Harris
burg, chairman of the Uniform
State I,aws committee.
"In Pennsylvania there has been
passed this year .i uniform limiteit
partnership act which places this
State in line with many others," he
said. "An act has been reported to
the Legislature relating to deeds,
mortgages, transfers of lands, and
insurance of title, which is identical
with the uniform land registration
act recommended to the several
States of the Union. It was, how
e\er„ of such vast importance that
iu was deemed inadvisable to at
tempt its passage at the sessions of
1917.
"Nearly all the States have adopt
ed the negotiable instruments act,
thirty-seven States, the uniform war
house receipt act, nineteen States
the uniform sales act, twenty-two
Slates the uniform bills of lading
oct, twelve States the uniform stock
transfer act and five States the uni
form partnership act."
