DEATH TAKES JUSTICE POTTER Was to Have Presided at Phil adelphia Loan Meeting Tonight Philadelphia. April 15. Asociate Justice William I*. Potter, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, died suddenly at his home in Swarthmore yesterday morning at 7.30 o'clock fro mhcart trouble. He was in his sixty-first year. Justice Potter suffered a heart at- i tack Saturday after having spent part of the day in Philadelphia. At! 5 o'clock yesterday morning he had j another attack and after being re- j lieved, his physician advised that the ! justice be taken to Florida at once. | Shortly afterward he was again j stricken and died. Mrs. Potter and two daughters, Miss Annabel Pot-1 ter, and Mrs. Leonard C. Asfiton, I were with the justice when the end j came. Funeral service will be held | Tuesday afternoon and burial j will take place in Pittsburgh. Justice j Potter was appointed to the Supreme j Court bench in 1900 by Governor: Stone and in the following year was j elected for the full term which ; would have expired in January, ■ 1923. William P. Potter, was born in | Jackson county, lowa. April 27. 1857. His father was a Presbyterian j clergyman. He was graduated from j Lafayette College in 1880 and was | admitted to the lowa bar the same ; year. Mr. Potter later moved to : Pittsburgh and was admitted to the Allegheny county bar in 1883 and in 1890 because the law partner of Wil- , liam A. Stone, who afterward was | elected Governor. Justice Potter received the degree j of Doctors of Laws from Lafayette College in 1907 and from Swarth more in 1911. He removed to; Swarthmore from Pittsburgh about! a dozen years ago. His wife before their marriage was Miss Jessie L. Bacon, of Des Moines, lowa. The justice took an active inter- ! est in the Liberty bond drive and j was to have acted as chairman of a 1 big meeting to be held tonight- Just-j ice Potter was prominent in the i Presbyterian Church and was chair man of the financial committee of the Ministers' Relief Fund in Penn sylvania. "Justice Potter's death will be a great loss to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania," said Justice Robert von Moschzisker after learning of his death. "He was a thorough law yer and a most industrious and con scientious judge, honored by the profession and loved by his brothers upon the bench. He died in the full vigor of manhood and in the midst of many activities. Speaking for the Supreme Court, 1 can only say that we are cast in the shadow of a great. ' grief. Next to his family, none will feel his loss to such an extent as wo, his associates." ' "He always had a smile for little children," said Dr. George W. War ren, one of Justice Potter's most in timate friends. "He was always ap prhachable by any one. He- had a mind trained to an unusual degree and a most, kindly heart. One of the precious privileges of my life has been In having n personal friend of his outstanding character."

She was shown our workrooms, the number of ma chines was pointed out, she was told how many boxes are sent away each week, and the supply room, piled to the ceiling with raw materials, was exhibited. When we explained ap proximately how much the various departments cost each month she felt that she had a real idea of the extent of the work in Harrisburg. Perhaps members of the Red Cross will be interested, too, in the pres ent rate of our running expenses as shown in the report of the treasurer lor March: Canteen work $98.50 Civilian relief 12G.46 Yarn J4.677.10 Gauze 743.44 Cotton 585.07 Knitting Needles. . 242.39 Buttons 143.75 Sundry items 451.07 Comfort kits 162.39 Baby layettes (for Belgian refugees) 80.32 Postage, printing, etc 96.71 Total $7,407.20 The income for the month was $6,512.78, which included $929.03 contributions and money from the sale of materials. Total expenditures, including pay ment of a loan and proportion of membership due's sent to Washing ton, were $23,212.49. The present balance in the treasury is $10,921.31.

He talks in Camp Hill, Tuesduy night, and in Bnola, Wednes day night. Sergeant Major Dickson, is a Cali fornian. He enlisted in the Canadan Army in 1914. A twin brother enter ed the service at the same time and shortly after the two brothers got to France the twin was beheaded In a French trench by a German shell. Dickspn lost his leg. He was in a hospital for a long time because of a severe "gassing." l.atsr he went to the hospital to receive treatment for Ed like the explosion of a dynamite charge. Large masses of earth from the backyards of the North Fifth street properties settled into the At las street yards. The break in the wall reaches a distance of about 100 feet. The wall was llfteen feet high, built three-quarters of the way up with large granite blocks and top pod with concrete. Residents of the neighborhood had observed shortly after 6 o'clock .Sat urday night that the collapse ap peared imminent. .Much Damage Done In Atlas street the residents whose properties were rov?red with the wall and yards from the other prop erties are: C. B." McKeever„ 2211. Orrie Crocker, .2213; 11. R. Termin. 2215; Anna Vincent, 2217, and John Urown, 2219. Those properties, the residents said, are owned by O. W. MaeWilliams, contractor, and Robert Rosenberg, attorney. The properties in North Fifth street are also owned by Mr. MaeWilliams, who built them. Mr. MaeWilliams will rebuild the wall. The iron fences which separated these proper ties and wjiich were built on the top of the wall are a mass of twisted luins in the yards below.

The wall is twenty five feet high and is practically new. having been rebuilt after collapsing a few years ago. C. H.

Eat Potatoes; Save the Wheat This is Potato Week! Citizens of Harrisburg who want to help in the wheat-saving plan of the Food Administration are buying potatoes in bushel lots from their grocer for $1 and us ing them in place of bread. Potatoes contain: Protein, which Is one of the properties of meat valuable in energy-building; starch, which is one of the main ingredients of wheat and which produces fat, and also a large amount of bone producing ingredients which is vital to one's health. The wheat is urgently needed to send to our American Army in France and to our European allies. Unless they'are fully pro vided with an ample supply they cannot carry, on the terrific struggle much longer and win. Over a million American men are offering up their lives, if need be. that we may escape the fates of Belgium and Russia. Can't we give up one article of food for a week or two, that they may be fed?

I wonder if they've finally arrived at the con clusion that this is a man's-sized war—a hell of a war; and if the Americans can't come in soon and win it the Germans will. Whai I wonder, too, is whether the boys back home are doing anything to help win—or are they passing the buck to George? When I read in tlje papers that less thaty 12,000 of the nearly 100.000 people in llarrisburg had bought liberty IJonds I won dered what sort of a city it was— only 12,000 men and wopien in the town who were willing to hold up their end.
