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.

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."

MONDAY EVENING,
RAILS GAIN IN
EARLY TRADING
Standard Transportation Issues Rise From One to
Two Points; Grangers and Coalers Also Are
Strong; Motors, Etc., Firm but Inactive
By Associated Press i
New York, July 16. (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.

U. S. 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. I, like
\ you, have no doubt that the defeat
I of autocracy and German militarism
! will at last open a future of indus
| trious peace and prosperity to lib
erate mankind."

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

chairman, 675; Twelfth, Mrs. How
ard chairman, 510; Thir
teenth, Mrs. Fred Haehnlen, chair

tang, 180; Dauphin, 117; Heckton,

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.
On the British front only raiding
operations and artillery and air
plant activities are reported.

in Special Session
Commissioner Dunkle will ask
Council to-morrow morning to fix
a time for a special session to con
sider tho report on the ash And gar
bage survey, as made by Trlbus &
Mas&a.
Louts L. Trlbus, of tills Arm, is
planning to be present at the spe
cial meeting and explain fully many
important details of the, report, so

prepare for waste disposal after the
present contract with the Pennsyl
vania Reduction Company expires.
Mr. Trlbus directed much of the sur
vey work in the city and is acquaint
ed with the local situation. For this
reason, Commissioner Dunkle said

Bride in Khaki Went to
France With U. S. Troops
An Atlantic Port, July 16. Some
where In France is a sergeant in the
American army who got my-rled Just
before he left the United states and
dared to take his bride with him on
the transport which carried his regi
ment overseas. She yent with him
las a soldier dressed In regulation
*khakl and with her hair cut short.
The young woman returned from
France yesterday, her effort to pose
as a "Sammle" having failed. Her hus
band, It was said aboard the steam
ship, was a member of a regiment
formerly stationed In Arizona.
The vessel also brought back the
body of a soldier who died on the trip
over.
U. S. to Build Four Big
Plants to Manufacture
Nitrate From the Aii
By Associated Press
Washington, July 16. Secretary
Baker announced to-day that plantl
for the production of nitrate from at
mospheric nitrogen would be con
structed Immediately at a cost of
about $4,000,000, and that water powei
would not be used. Sites have not
been selected.
Further discussion by localities de
siring to be considered as possible
sites Is closed temporarily, the an
nouncement says, while the site com
mittee of Cabinet officers is making
further engineering studies.
It has been assumed ever since th
great nitrate project was proposed
that a vast supply of water power
would be needed. Consequently sites
with water power have been supposed
to be the only ones likely to get con
sideration. Mussel shoals, of the Ten
nessee river, was one of the places
most strongly urged during the de
bates in Congress.
Congress appropriated t20.000.000
for the project. Apparently the entire
expenditure contemplated by the War
Department is one-flfth of that sum.
900 Passengers Taken
Off Passenger Liner
By Associated Priss
St. Johns, N. F., July 16. Prepa
rations were made here to-day for the
arrival of the 900 passengers of the
Norwegian-American liner Kristi
anlafjord, which ran ashore yesterday
seven miles west of Cape Race. After
being landed safely at Portugal Cove
they boarded trains for this city.
latest advices indicated that the
crew remained aboard the steamer,
SL . was ba dly damaged. Three of
the holds were full of water, but it
was thought that if the sea remained
calm there was a possibility of saving
the vessel. The stranding of the
steamer is supposed to have been due
to the dense fog. She was bound from
New York for Norway, and had been
examined by the British authorities at
Halifax.
EXAMINE PLUMBERS
Examinations for master and Jour
neymen plumbers were held by tho
City Plumbing Board, at the offices
