WHEN MARRIAGE IS A FAILURE
Surely marriage is a failure when
its essential purpose, the rttising of a
family of children, proves impos
sible. In the childless home the mar
ried pair, though sometimes more
or less.unconscious of the fact, grow
disappointed and lonely. Lacking the
best tie to hold them together they
are likely to drift apart, hence many
separations and divorces.
If every wife, whose physicafl state
prevents motherhood, would but try
that great remedy, Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, there
"would be far fewer childless homes.

NEWS OF STEELTON
PUBLIC TO GET
POLICE NEWS
Brgess Wigfield Said Orders
Would Be Given Depart
ment at Once
A new order will go into effect at]
the police station to-morrow giving
the newspapers an opportunity to
get all news of public interest, ac
cording to Burgess Wigfield. For
some time the public has been un
able to get any news from this de
partment, owing to the fact that an
order was issued by Council to the
effect that no news was to be given
out.
Burgess Wigfield said this morn
ing that the police department was
an executive department and did not
come under the Jurisdiction of any
councilmantc committee. His rea
son, he said, was found in section
17 of the borough code, passed in
1915, which is as follows: "The bor
ough police shall be under the direc
tion of the Burgess, as to the time
during which, the place where, and
the manner in which they shall per
form their duties."
"I read with much surprise," the
Burgess continued, "the order sup
pressing news from the papers. I
will issue orders to the chief at once
that anything the press desires for
publication should be given out."
The Burgess said: "We would be
doing the public an injustice by re
fusing to give the press information
as this is a public department. When
Council wishes to rush through any
Improvement work the co-operation
of the public press is solicited and
now efforts are made to bar this pub
lic information from the residents.
This is an Injustice to the press and
also the residents."

HARHISBURG TELEGRAPH
SCHWAB REPLIES
TO SUITS FILED
Bethlehem Steel Head De
fends Purchase of Pennsyl
vania Steel Property
' Trenton, July 17.—AfTairs of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, of which
Charles M. Schwab is the directing;
head, were in evidence in the United
State District Court here to-day.
\ *
Judge Rellstab heard argument in the
suit of Clarence H. Venner, of New
York, to set aside the transfer of the
property of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company to the Bethlehem cqrpora
tion. and the corporation filed its
answer to the suit of the General In
vestment Company to restrain it from
guaranteeing the assets of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company and its sub
sidiaries.
The Venner suit was originally be
gun to enjoin the sale of the prop
erty of the Pennsylvania St.scl Com
pany to the Bethlehem corporation.
While this suit was pending, is a>-
leged by Venner, the transfer was
made. In behalf of Venner It was
contended that the Federal court >or
the New Jersey district has jurisdic
tion. The Bethlehem company con
tended that service subpoena was fr
regular and slTould be set aside.
In its answer to the suit of the Gen
eral Investment Company the Bethle
hem corporation set forth that there
Is now pending in the New Jersey
court of chancery a suit of the Oeti
eral Investment Company attacking
the legality of the amendment to tne
corporation's charter increasing Its
capital stock from 130,000,000 to SYS,-
000,000.
The answer stated that under tue
charter of the Bethlehem'corporation
no njortgage or pledge of its property
or assets, other than a purchase
money mortgage, or other purchase
money lien, or a pledge of the assets
in the ordinary course of business
can be made to secure bonds, deben
tures or obligations without consen.
of two-thirds of the stockholders. It
then set forth that more than th>
number approved the plans of guar
anteeing the bonds of the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company.
The answer denied that the Liern
lehem corporation has at any time
exercised or attempted to exercise any
power to guarantee the aonds or ob
ligations of any other company ex
cept as authorized by the general cor
poration law or by its charter.
