SNYDER TO HOLD THE SUITCASES Says He Knows What They Contain and Proposes to See About Them "I have arranged for those suit cases to stay at the railroad station until tiie man who put them there j comes for them. If necessary I will pay the storage on them myself. I I think I know what they contain; in ' fact, they contain what we want and I do not propose t(*have Powell or anyone else get away with them. Now that's all there Is to it," said Auditor General Charles A. Snyder to-day when asked what he had done in view of the fact that the storage limit on the cases had ex pired. The cases are supposed to con tain state records from the Auditor General's Department and are sup posed to have been checked at the TTnion station by A. W. Powell, for mer auditor general. When Mr. Snyder learned of their checking he lodged a detainer and while it la said some people have inquired about them no one has presented the checks for them. The cases are now the property of the railroad com pany, not having been listed In the time limit. Mr. Snyder says that Mr. Powell is "wandering" about and that he will await developments, Mr. Powell is understood to have left boxes containing books and oth er things in this city. The Auditor General said to-day that arrangements had been made whereby 250 newspapers of Pennsyl vania would be paid their bills for advertising constitutional amend ments. "Some newspapers were paid in full I understand and some were paid In part and they will get more. I expect to get the whole matter cleared up satisfactorily soon and I will have a system when the adver tisements are sent out next time," said the Auditor General. HARRISBURG OTWV TELEGRAPH Bonfires Will Symbolize Keeping Alight Fires of Liberty in Nation In every city, town and village and at every crossroad and country sthoolhouse of the United States, bonfires will be lighted on the night of Tuesday, October 23, by direction of the local officers of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, for the double purpose of calling attentibn to the fact that the Second Liberty Loan of 1917 will close on Saturday, October 27, and of symbolizing the truth that America is keeping alight the tires of liberty. Miss Mary Synon, executive secre tary of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, and the originator of the "Liberty Fires" idea, has instructed the Federal reserve districts, the state, county and local chairmen of the committee to make the bonfire celebration on the eve of Liberty Day, October 24, an occasion of vital patriotic significance as well as a high point in the Liberty Loan cam paign. "The fires of St. John, those bea cons of faith which have burned on the hills of Europe for twenty cen turies, have been trampled to ashes by the tread of the armies of inva sion and devastation. For the first time in the history of Christianity the embers from which on St. John's Eve the peasant women of the world took living coals to their own hearth stores failed to glow lest they bring down the shells from the enemy's aircraft. For men and women over seas the fires may not be kindled till the war is done. But women of America hold the duty of blazoning to the world the truth of Liberty, of keeping alight the fires of freedom. That we may not forget that duty and that we may the better under stand that the Liberty Loan is not merely a good investment but a sa cred obligation of patriotism and a promise to those who fight for us and with us in the struggle of right against might, we women of the United States will set upon the Hills of our country on the eve of Liberty Day beacons which will flame out our belief in the righteousness of our cause: and from the embers we will take to our homes the coals of cour age and of determination to make sacrifices for that liberty which our land is keeping alight for the guid ance of a darkened world." Torchlight processions, barbecues, speeches and various other local cele brations have been planned already by the local committee to place In connection with the "Liberty Fires." More than one thousand county chair men of the Woman's Liberty Committee have already begun plans for the celebrations in which every man, woman and child in the coun try may participate as signals of the closing of the Second Liberty Loan. Bethlehem Steel Pays State $39,000 The Bethlehem Steel Company to-day paid the State of Pennsyl vanie $39,fi96.67 as payment of 191G State tax on loans.

LEAGUE FAVORS PLAN FOR VALLEY TERMINAL [Continued from First Page.] planning body and the Municipal League it was anticipated that the official legislation providing for these changes would be approved. The statement of the Municipal League follows: uUpshrdluetaoislmUuetaolnshrodada "The attached letter is self-ex planatory. It is however, proper to say that the proposition of the Val ley Railways seems to the Municipal League to be one of great merit, and to have been made in a genuine de sire not only to advance its own'busi ness but to bring the trolley terminal facilities of Harrisburg, so far as that company is concerned, into line with similar facilities in other cities. "If this plan meets .with the ap probation of the City Planning Com mission and the Council and is car ried out as provided in the ordinance, passengers from the west side of the river will be landed, under cover, in a comfortable and convenient wait ingroom which would have access to Market Square for taking the cars of the Harrisburg Railways Company from a point just back of the Union Trust Company's building. There would be vastly better facilities for handling the traffic under cover, and the keeping off the Square of these long string of 'cross-river cars would simplify the complex traffic problem that now bothers all concerned. "The league is also full of hope that this action wIIL clear the way for the establishment of the public comfort station long ago voted upon and authorized by the people. Pres ent conditions are indefensible, but can promptly be remedied with an increase rather than a decrease of trolley convenience. If this legisla tion prevails. 'Mr. R. Ross Seaman, City Clerk, Harrisburg, Penna. "Dear sir: This acknowledges yours of October 9, advising me of the or tUnunce presented giving permission to the Valley Railways and its asso ciate company to double-track Wal nut street from the river bridge to Second street, in connection with the erection of Its new terminal. "At a meeting of the executive committee of the Municipal League I was directed to ask you to inform the Council that the ordinance In question seems to the Municipal League a proper and excellent step on the way toward improving the traffic conditions in Harrisburg, and toward making it possible to estab lish in Market Square the, public com fort station several years ago au thorized by vote of the people. "The executive committee is of opinion that the proposition of the Valley Railways is one very much in the public Interest, and It respec fully urges the early passage of the ordinance for that reason. "I was directed also to send a copy of this communication to the City Planning Commission. "Yours truly, "J. Horace McFarland, "Secretary." PARK IMPROVEMENTS START ARBOR DAY [Continued from First Pajfc.] further damage have been marked by one tin disc and those which are to come out ultimately or be moved to another location have been marked by two. "I have been endeavoring to save all the good trees, those planted by famous men nnd those which have historical, sentimental or Harrlßburg associations," said Mr. Manning. "Every tree that I can save I will mark and those which are connected with the days gone by in tho state and the city will be preserved." In his effort to get the historical slant the architect discussed tho his tory of the trees with Dr. Mont gomery, Forestry Commissioner Conklin, Mrs. It. C. Espy, Dr. .Hugh Hamilton, Thomas M. Jones and others. Superintendent Shreiner is arranging for the trees to be used. Mr. Manning spent the morning at the city nursery at Island Park inspecting the large variety of trees Which have been raised under the supervision of the City Park Depart ments. Park Commissioner Gross and Assistant Forrer accompanied Mr. Manning. A number of the trees /i" the nursery will probably be used for planting next Thursday at the Arbor Day observance In Capitol Park. One of the trees will be an official gift to represent the city. Commissioner Gross and other offi cials will be present when it is planted. GOES TO CHICAGO Dr. George B. Kunkel, 118 Locust street, left this afternoon for Chi cago.
