Hord and Co. Gives Aims and
Objects of New Middle
town Industry
Hord and Company, Inc., seta forth
its position with reference to the
Keystone State Fair and Industrial
Exposition as a result of recent alle
gations as follows:
Your attention is directed to cer
tain erroneous impressions. Criticism
of an individual who is honest in his
efforts, without careful investigation.
Is unjustifiable. If we were all of
one opinion on a given subject, there
could be no progress. The composite
mind of the citizens In a community
Is the barometer of progress in that
community. Where you find business
men alive to their interests you will
find progress and prosperity. Busy
bees do not cherish the necessity <f
tolerating drones, and thev rightfully
endeavor to destroy or rid their hives
of them. No community has pro
gressed where the drones or pessi
mists predominate.
We are not speaking in a spirit of
criticism. Our sole aim is to extend'
to every reader an invitation to do
four essential things in the explana
tion of our position in a proposition
to follow, and upon the verdict we
shall be governed.
In presenting the four essentials we
solicit your Indulgence of withhold
ing your final judgment until such
time as you have complied with the
requests. The four essentials are:
Urst, Investigate: second, welgn
evidence: third, consider ultimate re
sults; and fourth, render your ver
dict.
If you will do that we assure you
this verdict shall be final and we
promise to take no appeal.
Unfair to Condemn
No fair-minded individual ever per
mits himself or herself to arrive at n
final conclusion of any proposition
without full knowledge as regards
its merits, its possibilities and the
Intentions of those who are proposing
it. It is unfair to your neighbor, to
your city and community, to your
country and yourself, to condemn any
project without first giving it most
careful investigation and considera
tion. It often happens that we stand
in our own light and work a hard
snip. and do ourselves an injustice
unconsciously, when at the same time,
If we would take as much time to
enlighten ourselves as we do con
demning a proposition we would not
only be furthering our own interests,
but would prove ourselves worthy of
the confidence of the society about us,
and he an instrument through which
our community would profit. A broad
open mind is always ready to he con
vinced. while the narrow, prejudiced,
skeptical mind is never In a recep
tive state, nor even listens to reason.
It is the hope and aim of the under
signed that this statement will be
read and thoroughly digested by every
individual it may concern, and by
every true, loyal, community-loving
citizen, and that each reader will
withhold his final judgment until the
evidence is all in, and if nt that time
you believe our proposition is not
feasible or is unsound, we will then
be ready to accept vour verdict, — be
that as it may.
•That the general prosperity of any
community Is quite dependent upon
its industries, no sane person will dis
pute. If a good number he employed,
it means in addition to a generic
prosperity, Increase in realty values.
The thicker a community is populated,
as a rule, the greater the value of
its real estate. Supply and demand
are invariably factors when comput
ing: values of anything,—be it real
or personal property.
Offer Imluntrlnl City
e are offering this community
what will practically be an indus
trial city in itself; a city that will in
time form the connecting link in the
chain of Industries on the arterv be
tween Harrisburg and Middletown.
Properly managed, it will contribute
its share to the general prosperity
and add very materially to the com
mercial, professional and financial In
terests of the entire community. In
making our offer, we seek no bonus
°f either land, buildings or money.
Wo propose:
B irst—To issue stock of the new
company for the issued stock of the
old company, share for share, thereby
protecting every stockholder of the
Keystone State Fair and Industrial
Exposition. Second—Our financial pro
gram does not contemplate the sale
of any stock. Third—To assume and
pay the indebtedness of the Keystone
state Fair and Industrial Exposition,
fourth—To establish immediately a
first unit of a plant for the manufac
ture and market a certain type of tur
bine engine for aircraft and other
uses.
To carry out tins program, we will
issue convertible first mortgage six
per cent, notes, secured by the entire
assets of the new company, otherwise
known as the Keystone Industrial
Corporation, including, free of encum
brances, the 441 acres adjoining Mid
dletown. the present site of the Key-
Btone State Fair and Industrial Ex
position, and at no time wiN we issue
notes in excess of the security back
of them. Furthermore, It Is ex'plicltlv
provided In the trust deed that ail
disbursements of funds received from
the sale of such notes shall be with
the sanction and approval of the trust
company accepting such trust. Be
lieving the above program to be sound
and feasible, we therefore ask the
citizens and civic bodies of the coun
ties interested to open their minds
to conviction, that we mav be better
able to convince them that we are
sincere In our Intentions, that our
proposition has merit and that it will
be a benefit to the community in gen
eral.
To Help Government
Owing to the abnormal condition of
the times and the declaration of war
practical, but unwise, to continue ef
forts in financing the Keystone State
Fair and Industrial Exposition. In
dividuals had placed their money in
It and contractors had .-lUende'd it
credit. Under the conditions aban
donment of the project meant total
loss to all. The beautiful 441 acres
of ground, exclusive of the mort
gagee's Interests, belonged to the
stockholders. It was their only tan
gible asset, and if it went Into the
courts for disposition and under
forced sale, it is unlikely that any
stockholder would receive value for
his stock. Therefore, quick and time
ly action was necessary if they were
to he saved.
The Government being at war and
the public press agitating the use
* .aircraft as the means to combat it
automatically made it the psycholog
ical time to give thought to that par
ticular line of manufacture; for by
so doing many points of advantage
would be accomplished, among which
First—We would turn quickly a
sure losing proposition into one of po
tential value and thus in time save
all stockholders and creditors every
dollar:
Second—We could aid the Govern
ment in our battle for freedom and
democracy;
Third—-We could put an Industry In
your community that all will point
to with pride as the one thing that
will make the community nationally
known.
Please do not understand that our
proposition is exclusively an aero
school and an aircraft manufac
tory. We propose on Industrial citv
and aircraft Is only one of the unit's'
which makes itself paramount only
by the fact that our Government is
demanding them at this time, and
that we fortunately fctve a license to
manufacture an approved biplane and
hydroplane.
C'o.operntlon Essential
Upon the completion of the aero
plane factory, it is the Intention to
follow with the engine works to
manufacture a steam turbine engine
in many sizes. We have acquired the
United States right for this engine
and all other manufacturers making
it will pay tribute to the new cor
poration. As time goes on and prog
ress continues It Ir the intention to
offer inducements other manufac
turers who may be seeking better fa
cilities and more advantageous loca
tions. Thus it will be an Industrial
citv in all the name implies.
To accomplish the foregoing, co
operation Is absolutely essential. On
this basis, if upon investigation vour
verdict is In our favor, we want your
co-operation.
Our position is essentially this:
We present the stockholders and

"WETS" PUT UP
A_NEW FIGHT
[Continued From First Page]
the measure as a whole by Wednes
day or Thursday.
Want to Retonslder
An effort to reconsider the Cum
mins amendment prohibition with
drawal ot distilled beverages from
bonded warehouses was decided up
on at a conference of leaders to-day
before the Senate reconvened. Sen
ator Smith, of Georgia, was picked
to make the motion for reconsidera
tion and leaders believed it would be
adopted because of "change of senti
ment over night." With the Cum
mins provision stricken out, adop
tion of the administration amend
ment in lieu of the House "bone
dry" section was thought probable.
The administration amendment will
not interfere with beer and light
wines.
When the Senate reconvened Sena
tor Chamberlain announced that
there had been considerable delay in
the conideration of the prohibition
section and that he would have to
insist upon discussion of amend
ments to that part of the bill being
made in their regular order.
Senator Heed explained that this
purpose in introducing an amend
ment to empower the President to
withdraw liquors from bonded ware
houses was to meet statements that
if the Cummins amendment, which
prohibits such withdrawal, were
adopted, many small banks would
be wrecked.
Said Unnecessary
Senator Cummins characterizing
the Heed amendment as unnecessary
said he could hardly imagine the
President "withdrawing liquor in or
der to allow people to drink" and
denied that his amendment was con
fiscatory.
Senator James, of Kentucky, op
posed the Cummins' amendment and
Senator Penrose declared there were
now about 208,000,000 gallons of
whisky in bond on which banks had
loaned from $80,000,000 to SIOO,-
000,000. The loans, he said, were
usually for a long period and should
the amendment preventing the with
drawal of distilled liquor in bond
stand, many banks and innocent
holders of securities would suffer.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, pre
sented statements that the Cum
mins amendment would wipe out
assets aggregating $750,000,000.
Bonding companies, he said, hold
distillers secuitles worth $250,000,-
000 or more than the combined capi
tal of the bonding concerns, while
banks hold many loans upon dis
tilled spirits.
Urging reconsideration of the
Cummins amendment, Senator Rob
inson, author of the "administration
compromise" substitute, said the
Cummins provision would cause re
action against "the laudable move
ment for national prohibition."
Solid Support
"We need the solid support of the
people," he said "and this injustice
by confiscation of millions of dollars'
worth of property, at the same time
would bo taxed by the government
and would create a reaction against
the government."
Resenting interruptions on the
part of a number of senators when
he attempted to comply with the re
quest of Senator Lodge to give ad
ditional statistics regarding the

amount of whisky In bond, Senator
Penrose exclaimed:
"I am giving real facts, not the
usual speech of a demagogue and
fanatic."
•Senator John Sharp Williams, re
ferring to the amount of liquor is
sued to French and British soldiers,
and the allowance of beer to the
German army, declared no war had
been fought with prohibition.
Conceding that "alcohol is a curse"
Senator Williams asserted that to
"come here trying to confiscate mil
lions of dollars' worth of property
and give up $250,000,000 in reve
nue, strikes me as carrying unreason
to the superlative form." Ho de
manded to know how the prevention
of withdrawal of liquor from bond
would increase or conserve the food
supply. \
Splendid Investment
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, and
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi,
both of whom voted yea for the
Cummins amendment, said It should
be modified to exempt liquors held
in bond from taxation, in Justice to
the distilling interests. Senator
James said if the Senate should final
ly adopt the Cummins plan he would
offer a tax exemption amendment.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, said he
would offer an amendment should
the Cummins plan be finally written
into the bill, providing that the gov
ernment shall buy bonded ware
house stocks at a reasonable profit
to the distillers.
"That would require hundreds of
millions of dollars," he said, "but
would be a splendid Investment for
the government—to stop this annual
booze bill of $2,500,000,000, which
brings nothing but ruin and destruc
tion to the people of the country."
Senator Reed's amendment to the
Cummins provision, proposing that
the President should be empowered
to authorize withdrawal of liquors
from bond when in the public in
terest, was rejected. 45 to 38.
The effect of the action upon
Senator Reed's amendment was to
leave the Cummins proviso subject
to a further vote.
Regular Army Recruiting
Takes Upward Jump
Recruiting for the regular army in
the Harrisburg district took a jump
yesterday. Fifty-one recruits was the
total for the day, one of the best in
weeks. Of the fifty-one recruits,
thirty-three came from Pottsville,
where recruiting was below par for
some time. Of the large number of
new men enlisted yesterday only one
was from this immediate vicinity. Leo
Mosley, Carlisle, enlisted in the medi
cal corps. He was sent to Columbus
Barracks for training.
Captain Stine, of Company C, still
continues to enroll men for the Guard.
Yesterday five new recruits passed the
examinations. They are: John Mutz,
Steelton; M. Shelley, Enola;
Raymond R. Swlnson, Scott 'Zimmer
man and William Nauss. all of Har
risburg. The company to date has 137
men. ,
DIET HITS VEGETARIANS
Stockholm, Sweden —The rationing
of bread, oatmeal, rice, groats, flour,
etc.. which was based on the average
necessities of omnlverous inhabitants,
has been a hard blow to the vege
tarians, of whom there is a relatively
great number In Sweden. The scar
city of potatoes, milk and butter has
contributed to render their lot still
harder. At least one of Stockholm's
many vegetarian boarding houses has
had to go out of business, and the
others are having a hard time to
struggle through.

BOY SCOUTS ARE
ON SOUND BASIS
Organization of Council Per
fected at Meeting of Execu-
tive Committee
Permanent organisation of the
Boy Scout Council of Harrisburg
was perfected at a meeting of the
executive committee -held yesterday
in the Board of Trade building. The
meeting was presided over by Wil
liam B. McCaleb. president of the
executive committee.
Howard C. Fry, treasurer, report
ed that he had purchased a certifi
cate deposit of $2,500 from funds of
the association in addition to the
$2,000 bought some time ago. Be
sides this sum of $4,500, there is
$875.93 in caßh and more than SBOO
due from subscriptions.
In his report to the committee,
Scout Executive J. H. Stine reported
that nineteen troops of scouts are at
present organized In the city with
several other prospects. A court of
honor, consisting of Ave citizens of
Harrisburg, will be formed. The
duty of this court will be to act upon
all claims for prizes and awarding
the different scout grades.
The scout headquarters will be
moved next week to room 200, Cal
der building.
Official Report
J. H. Stine, scout executive, to
day submitted the following report
covering the Boy Scout activities
from June 16 to date to the execu
tive committee:
"On the invitation of various
scout troops I have visited five
scout meetings as follows: June 22,
Troojf 7, Harris Street Evangelical
Church; June 25, Troop 4, Imman
uel Presbyterian Church: June 26,
l'oys at Epworth M. E. Church; June
-!>, Troop 17, Immanuel Presby
terian; July 2, Troop 20, Fifth
Street Methodist.
"At each of the meetings I made
short talks to the boys and on June
29 I helped the scoutmaster with
examinations of candidates, passing
same to the tenderfoot class. On
July 2 issued certificates to Troop
20 of the Fifth Street Methodist
Church.
Scouts Help Red Cross
"During the Red Cross Campaign
we were called upon at different
times to furnish boys for various
services to the officers of the cam
paign. Eighteen boys presented
themselves at our call for this work
during the several days of the cam
paign.
"Boy Scouts participated in the
Spanish-American War Veterans pa
rade on June 19 and Troops 6, 10
and 11 were in the line of the City
Grays' Veteran Association parade
on June 28.
Scout Organizations
"There are at present sixteen act
ive troops in Harrisburg. These
originate from fourteen different or
ganizations practically all of them
being churches. There are about
eighty-five churches listed in Har
risburg and I a msending letters to
all the churches that do not have
Scout activities, with the hope of
promoting a general Interest in tho
movement.
"Due to the publicity of the recent
Scout campaign there seems to be
considerable interest on all sides re
garding the work. Nearly every day
someone phones or visits the office
to talk over the possibility of organ
ising Scout work.
New Prospects
"There are at present five live
prospects in Harrisburg and vicinity:
The Derry Street United Brethren
Church, St. Matthew's Church, Ridge
Avenue M. E. Church. Wesley Union
A. M. E. Church, where a colored
troop of twenty-six boys is practi
cally org nized under the leadership
of Dr. A. Leslie Marshall.
"Shlremanstown. which is in the
vicinity of Harrisburg, is also a pros
pect.
"One of th® early Questions for the
local council to take up will be the
question of allowing Scout Troops in
towns and villages near Harrisburg
to affiliate with the local council.
National headquarters permits such
arrangement on a provisional plan,
that should county councils or local
councils later be organized in the
various communities affiliated our
jurisdiction automatically ceases.
"We have already received an ap
plication for affiliation from Scout
master Joseph Mason, of the Ann
Street M. E. Church, Middletown,
Pa.
"The general features of the work
handled through this office, in my
opinion,'**will be as follows:
"(1) To promote the Scout move
ment in general throughout the city.
"(2) To co-ordinate the existing
Scout troops and suggest further ex
tensions of the work.
"(3) Keep an accurate record of
enrollments, tests, achievements and
awards of individual Scouts of all
the troops.
"(4) Give detailed help to organ
izations desirous of taking up scout
ing.
"(5) Maintain an information
service relative to camps, trips,
eouipment, and all details of prac
tical scouting for the use of scout
masters and others interested.
("t> Organize meetings of the
scoutmasters for the purpose of gen
eral instruction and exchange of
ideas.
"(7) Attend to the business ad
ministration of the office.
New Scout Troops
"In the last two weeks there have
been organized four new troops as
follows:
"Troop 16, Bethlehem Lutheran
Churph, J. Warren Fortenbaugh,
scoutmaster, number of boys, 11:
Troop 17, Immanuel Presbyterian
Church, Robert D. Young, scoutmas
ter, number of boys, 12; Troop 19,
Grace Methodist Church, James C.
Peet, scoutmaster, number of boys,
12; Troop 20, Fifth Street Metho
dist Church, Ross H. Swope, scout
master, numbet of boys, 16: supple
ment enrollment of boys, 3: total,
54; assistant scoutmasters, 4.
"Lacking a permanent organiza
tion of committees with constituted
authority to recommend to national
headquarters the commissioning of
scoutmasters and to facilitate the
organizing of the above troops at a
time when the boys were formed to
become scouts, I signed the blanks,
as scout executive, with approval of
the president, and commissions were
duly issued by headquarters. My
action in so doing should be sanc
tioned by this committee and au
thority to handle future cases should
be given me.
"The constitution should be drawn
at an early date and I recomrAend
that a committee be appointed to
look Into this matter as soon as prac
ticable.
"The Court of Honor and other
standing committees will be part of
the required machinery for operat
ing our council from now on."
COLLECTORS FILE BONDS
Six of the new tax collectors named
by the county commissioners to col
lect county tax in the city, have fllefl
their bonds. They are Charles T.
Jones, Sixth ward; John F. Ward,
Rorfs, Tenth ward; George B. Sprout,
Thirteenth ward; J. H. Rankin. Elev

Major General Sir Eric Geddes, who
passed from the British ministry of
munitions to service with the army
and has done splendid work in each
capacity, will till the post of con
troller of the navy, with temporary
rank of vice admiral, on the board of

a most picturesque career, from
traffic manager of an Indian railway,
a lumber and railway expert In Ohio,
a maker of munitions, a director gen
eral of military railways, a major
general, and now a vice admiral.
Not one of the least distinctions that
Sir Eric Geudes achieved was when
he was especially asked for by Sir
Douglas Halg. It was an unusual
procedure, but the War Office con
sented, and Sir Eric was permitted to
join as a major general and as di
rector general of transportation.

SWALLOW ASKS
PRESIDENT TO'
OPPOSE BOOZE
Calls Attention to Wide-
Spread Indignation Ovei; His
Stand For Beer and Wine^
Dr. Silas C. Swallow, ones candL
dldate for President on the Prohibi
tion ticket, has addressed the fol
lowing letter to President Wilson
pointing out the widespread opposi
tion to the President's stand In
favor of the making of beers and
wines during the war period and
urging him In response to this pop
ular demand to come out for total
prohibition during the war:
"On Sunday last not a religious
denomination, fifteen In number In
this city that did not In one or mor
pulpits, In some cases many de
nounce, some of them fiercely, youi
stand on the boose question. Ye
there was one exception, a church
that harbors two-thirds of the booze
manufacturers and venders, and re
ceives from the business a large
share of its revemje. We have rea
son to believe that what was true
of this city was equally true of mosl
communities in this country.
"I herewith enclose clippings from
several of the papers that come to
my table showing the contempt and
widespread indignation and general
condemnation In which is held youi
interception in the Senate of the al
most unanimous prohibition House
bill.
"The religious papers are a unll

and consequently of you; at a tlm'

last man, woman and child should
be standing shoulder to shoulder fo|

"Well you have the few thousand; •
booze vendors with you and doubt!
less you have the unfeigned gratijl

attempt to divide and destroy out
