12 LAWYERS CLAIM BONDS ARE NOT IN PROPER FORM City's Security in Hardscrab ble Appeal Cases Presented For Court Approval When City Solicitor John E. Fox presented to the court to-day city bonds which had been refused by nine of the property owners In the Hardscrabble district, asking the Court's approval, B. Frank Nead and George R. Barnett, representing the residents, presented a petition to Quash the city's step to have the bonds approved. The contention brought out by the attorneys for the property hold ers was that the city had not prop erly authorized the issuing of the bonds; had no authority to specify that the bonds were to be Issued to the owners who had appealed from the viewers' report, and that no specific statement was made as to ■which act the proceedings were being brought under. The Court directed counsel for the property owners to prepare a brief and took the question of approving the bonds under advisement, after a lengthy discussion between Attor neys Nead and Barnett and Solicitor Fox, who openly charged them with making every possible efTort to de lay the city in its move to take over the properties. After the bond question had been debated, Solicitor Fox presented is sues to the court, asking that they should be awarded if the court ap proves the city's bonds. MINERS FORCE EXODUS OF ALL Continued Prom First Page a watch on the general situation, it was announced. Manhandle Priest A near panic was caused at Bonne Terre last night by the arrival of a committee of American-born miners from Flat River who organized übout fifty young men and marched into the foreign quarter discharging firearms. Father Tim Sevick, a Ro man Catholic priest, who was re turing from a visit among the for eigners attempted to argue with the delegation and received rough treat ment at their hands. A detachment of sixteen guards men was sent from Flat River to Bonne Terre and no further trouble occurred. Before dispersing the crowd gave notice to all foreigners that they must leave to-day or ac cept the consequences. 1,000 Have Pled All day yesterday the exodus of the foreignborn continued and it is estimated that more than 1,000 have left the lead belt. Entire families boarded trains at every town, each person carrying a bundle. Major William Stepp, commanding the State troops here, and two other officers, wentthrough the foreign colony and reported that they found about 200 homes, or former homes, of foreignborn miners, had been pillaged and that women and children were 'without food. They also found that Americanborn mi ners were buying cows and ofher property from the women at purely nominal prices. Want Foreigners Ousted A committee of miners conferred with Major Stepp and his officers and told their grievances. The spokesman of the party said: "We want only a chance to woyk and support our families without be ing thrown out to make room for foreigners. Winter is coming and the mining companies are discharging Americans to give their places to' foreigners. We wish to harm no one, we have killed no one; we do not think any one has been hurt; we have destroyed no property. The mining companies are discharging Americans and it is against that which we protest." Exiled Bisbee Miners Settle Down in Camp By Associated Press Columbus, N.

(Wall Street). Last week's delayed rise in rails was resumed at the outset of to-day's trading, the Pacifies and other standard transportation issues leading the movement at gains of one to almost two points. Grangers and coalers also were strong, Delaware and Hudson rising 2%. Shippings were also in demand at average ad vances of a point and Lackawanna Steel led the equipments and indus trials to higher levsls. Motors, met als and minor specialties/were firm but inactive. Tobaccos and sugars recorded fractional improvements. Many gains were effaced before the end of the first half hour. Professional selling of the steel shares was mainly responsible for | the market's sudden betback. United States Steel reacted 2% points, Beth lehem 5, Crucible 4, Lackawanna 2. and Republic Iron 2. Many other industrials of the equipment class were similarly unsettled and cop pers fell back 1 to 5 points, with motors. Central Leather, Alcohol, Marine preferred, Sumatra Tobacco and Ohio Gas. Rails held for a time but gradually succumbed to pres sure elsewhere, Louisville and Nash ville losing three points. Short cov ering effected moderate rallies later. Bonds were irregular, the Liberty is- , sue selling as high as 99 45-60 th for full lots and from par to 99 for odd lots.

He made sev eral attempts, but that rifle persisted In getting In his way. He tried it from both shoulders but still It wai not up to requirements.

GREETINGS SENT TO FRANCE Poincarc Cables Reply lo President Wilson's Best Wishes By Associated Press Washington, July 16.—Messages exchanged by President Wilson and President Poincare on France's great holiday, July 14, were made public to-day by the State Department. ! President Wilson cabled: "On this anniversary of the birth 1 of democracy in France I offer, on | behalf of my countrymen and on my own behalf, fraternal greeting as befits the strong ties that unite our people who to-day stand shoulder to shoulder In defense of liberty in tes timony of the steadfast purpose of ! our two countries to achieve victory ! for the sublime cause of the rights of | the people against oppression. The lesson of the Bastile is not lost to the world of free peoples. May the day be near when on the ruins of, the dark stronghold of unbridled I . power and conscienceless autocracy a nobler structure upbuilt loke your j great republic on the eternal founda- j tions of peace and right, shall arise ' to gladden an enfranchised world.". President Poincaire replied: "The French people who for three] years have made so many heroic sac ! riflces in the defense of right and j ! liberty, shall receive in grateful emo -1 tion the brotherly message which I you, Mr. President, were pleased to j send me for them. We shall be ; proud to carry on to victory, elbow j'to elbow with the great and gen erous American nation, the war i which, was let loose on the world by the imperialism of our foes in spite ] 1 of the strenuous efforts which the] : rFench republic always exerted to avert so awful a cataclysm.

BOYD MEMORIAL COTTAGE AT LOSH'S R Big Building on Banks of Juniata River, Capable of Holding 150 People, Will Soon Be Ready For Harrisburg Boys Losh's Run, July 16.—John Doyle, popularly known by summerites as the "king of Losh's Run," has com pleted the building of the Boyd Me morial Summer Cottage. A little In terior work is yet to be done, but otherwise everything is in shape for the Harrisburg boys. The building is 102x42 feet and capable of accommodating 150 people. The interior is finished in rough bark slabs to make the rooms look as much as possible like a real log hut. Part of the main room is divided Iniw smaller bunkrooms. Each guest has his own army cot. A pumping outfit has been installed and a reservoir placed to give run ning water in the rooms. The water comes from a pure, clear mountain spring 500 yards away. The boys are in Charge of three competent who seldom al low them from their sight, especially at this time, when the supposedly blue Juniata is a 'raging torrent. Communication across the river has almost been cut off, as few boats are fitted for oars and still fewer of the people who summer in the vicinity are capable of "poling" a boat. The popularity of Losh's Run as a summer resort has been increasing yearly. A few years ago a few far-sepa rated cottagers and crowds of boys who appreciated its advantages were the only evidence of the ideal condi tions of the neighborhood. Gradu ally the number of camping parties increased, each telling another crowd of the ideal situations to be found. NEW CHANCELLOR TO MAKE SPEECH Continmxl From First Page nite continuance of the war and the political and economic ruin of the Germans. Peace Policy The Reichstag's proposed peace resolution, which, according to the Berlin Tageblatt, a majority of the bloc of the Centre, Radicals and So cialists decided Friday evening to in troduce unchanged upon the reas sembling of the Reichstag, reads as follows: "As on August 4, 1914, so on the threshold of the fourth year of thfe war the Gorman people stand upon the assurance of the speech from the throne—'we are driven by no lust of conquest.' "Germany took up arms in de fense of its liberty and Independ enca and for the Integrity of its territprlcs. The Reichstag labors for peace a'nd a mutual understanding and lasting reconciliation among the nations. Forced acquisitions of ter ritory and political, economic and financial violations are Incompatible with such a peace. "The Reichstag rejects all plans aiming at an economic blockade and the stirring up of enmity among the peoples after the war. The freedom of the seas must be assured. Only an economic peace can prepare the ground for the friendly association of the peoples. "The Reichstag will energetically promote the creation of International judicial organizations, So long, how ever, as the enemy governments do not accept such a peace, so long as thoy threaten Germany and her al lies with conquest and violation, the German people will stand together as one man, hold out unshaken and fight until the rights of Itself and Its allies to life and development are secured. Tho German nation united is unconquerable. "The Reichstag knows that In this announcement it is as one with the men who are defending the father land; in the heroic struggles they arc sure of the undying thanks of tho whole people." TO PICNIC AT HKRSHEY The Harrisburg Shorthand School will hold Its unn-ial picnic Friday at Hershey Park, A crow of fifty stu dents will leave at 9 o'clock In the morning and return at 10 o'clock In the eviAii" until it has become one of the most popular camping places in this vicin ity. Boy Scouts and Camp Kire Glrio come- to the vicinity in great numbers each year. Many of the cottages are owned on the partnership plan and every day finds a large crowd at most of them. It was estimated that fifty guests were entertained at Lo ganla Cottage on July 4. The large amount of shipping done from this point during the summer months has induced John Doyle and James Krausse, the local merchant, to consider plans for incuding tne Pennsylvania Railroad to build a small freight station to shelter goods until they can be picked up by local trains. Much of the goods shipped belongs to the campers and it is be lieved the railroad will do something to better conditions for campers and commuters. If the 'William Penn Highway runs along the east bank of the Juniata river, it ia believed many cottages will be built in the section between Amity Hall.and Losh's Run. Many of the mountain glens are well suited to building purposes for the man who wants-, to get out of the city in the summer months. , John Doyle, who has built most of the cottages in the vicinity, has expressed his intention of erecting a number of cottages. He owns n. square mile of the best land in the section and declared that although many of the cottages he will build may not be fancy, they will be suited to the needs and the pocketbook or the toiler who might not otherwise be able to get away from the city during the summer months.

THOUSANDS SIGN FOOD PLEDGES County and City Both Show Heavy Enrollment in Sav ing Campaign Through the efforts of many ac tive women in the campaign for en listment of housekeepers in the food conservation move lent much has j already been accomplished in the ' city. Pledges have been signed by ! several thousand women to do ev- j erything possible to prevent | of food and conserve the supplies. i For the most part the women of j Harrisburg have responded cheer fully and readily to the appeals of j the committee. There have been a i few cases in which a wrong impres sion of the whole movement seems to prevail. There are also many good women who have signed the pledges with some reluctance in view of the attitude of the adminis tration at% Washington toward the question. In some in stances comment was written across the pledge cards suggesting that the government should itself set an ex ample to the people before asking the women to conserve the food products. Several persons when asked to pledge themselves to co-operate in the movement declared that they were already saving every ounce of food and could do no more, but when assured that all that was wanted was co-operation they promptly signed the cards. At noon to-day the totals for the various city wards was: First, Mrs. Charles Hunter, chairman, 497; Sec ond, Mrs. R. Y. Lyon, chairman, 569; Third, Mrs. William Henderson, chairmani 376; Fourth, Miss Mary Jennings, chairman, 45,J; Fifth, Miss Mary Hiester, chairman, 552; Sixth, Mrs. W.

The total so far is 7,929. No report has been received from Steelton and several other larger boroughs of the county. WHOLE RUSSIAN FRONT IS ACTIVE Continued From First Page panic," stopping only where occa sional steep hills give them rest. General Trosdansky, .commander of the Russians there, is said to be pressing vigorously forward on the heels of the retreating foe and to be overcoming the rear guards left among the natural barriers. Cossacks Active Although the movement of the Russian infantry engaged in General Korniloff's big offensive in Eastern Galicia is being hampered by bad weather, the Cossacks apparently have been able to keep up their dash ing tactics. This is indicated by a report from Petrograd through Rome to-day that the town of Do* Una has been occupied by Russian forces. If this announcement proves ac curate, it means an advance of more than thirty miles for the Russians since the opening of the drive south of the Dniester, a week ago. The official reports have placed them nearly two-thirds of this distance from their starting point, as Kalusz, taken by Korniloff's troops last week, is some twenty miles from Stanislau, which virtually was their place of departure. Push Back Austrian* At Kalusz the Russians were es tablished on the westerly bank of the Lomnica whence the Austrians had not been able • to drive them, although heavy attacks had been launched In the attempt. The route thence to Dolina lies along the Stan islau-Stryj railway line. An advance here means considerable progress In the movement now under way, In tended to throw General Von Boehm-Ermolli's army back against the Carpathians. The reports, indeed declare that this already has been accomplished. The hard fighting that has marked the last few days along the French front in Northern France still con tinues. Last night the Germans made a desperate attempt to regain tha important observation posts they lost when the French on Saturday night took a strongly fortified posi tion in the vicinity of Mont Haut and the Teton in the Champagne. The attacking forces were able to make no impression whatever on the Teton positions and at Mont Haut they recovered only a narrow foot hold on the edge of the disputed ground. French Make Progress The French In local operations, made some progress south of Allies on the Alsno front and repulsed several strong attacks near St Quentln and south of Corbeny.
