DRY LEGISLATURE
SLOGAN OF BISHOP
Governorship of Minor Im
port, Berry Says in ' \
Plea
I'hilndelphla, April 23. —In a state
ment to the voters of Pennsylvania.
Bishop Joseph F. Berry urges Re
publicans and Democrats to take a
lesson from the "brewery-saloon
crowd" and, irrespective of their par
ty or factional affiliations, rally be
hind candidates for the Legislature
who are uncompromisingly for the
federal prohibition amendment.
"What real difference does it make
to us whether Senator Penrose or
Senator Vare wins out?" asks the
Bishop.
Tn his reference to the candidates
for the governorship. Bishop Berry
does not endorse Mr. Sproul or Mr.
O'Neil. "Under existing conditions,
the election of a Governor and Lieu
tenant-Governor are matters of min
or importance," the Bishop says.
In part, the Bishop says: "I am
wondering whether the average citi
zen realizes the full significance of
Ihe elections held last week in the
state of New York. If anyone hjid
predicted a year ago that eighteen
cities of the second ciass would by
this time outlaw the rum traffic lie
would have been thought stark
crazy. And this extraordinary
achievement is but an index finger
pointing directly toward the day next

? Cincinnati man tells how to j •
| shrivel up corns so they • j
lift out.
Ouch !?!?!! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this;
Cincinnati authority, who claims that 1
a few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn dries up and lifts right out
without pain.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very lit
tle at any drug store, is said to be
sufficient to remove every hard or
soft corn or callus from one's feet.
Millions of American women will
welcome this announcement since the
inauguration of the high heels.

TROUP BUILDING 15 SOUTH MARKET SQ.
TUESDAY EVENING,
autumn when the voters of the Em
pire State will elect a Legislature
pledged to the ratification of the pro
hibitory amendment. New York has
been considered even more hopeless
than Pennsylvania. But you may
now count upon both of them to out
law booze upon the first possible op
portunity."
Pro*pectn Bright
"What are the prospects of elect
ing a ratification Legislature in
Pennsylvania? They are very good,
indeed. Western and Central Penn
sylvania are electric with prohibition
enthusiasm. Even the Wilkcs-Barre
and Scranton region, where I spent
all last week, a territor.v in which
rum has lyid a dominating influence,
is now in the grip of a temperance
agitation such as has never been
known.
"The only peril X can see in the
general situation is the recent devel
opment of another spasm of bitter
factionalism within the Republican
party. Why do citizens consider it
so ail-important to align themselves
on one side or the other of this fool
ish factional war? Why cannot the
sober citizens learn a lesson from the,
brewery-saloon crowd? That crowd
has absolute unity. Its adherents
stand together. It throws factional
ism to the winds.
"Under existing conditions, the
election of a Governor and Lieuten
ant Governor are matters of minor
importance. The major matter is the
nomination and election of Senators
and Assemblymen who may be de
pended upon to ratify the prohibi
tory amendment. The increased reg
istration in certain wards of this city
shows an awakening interest In this
paramount issue. But whether this
awakening is as widespread and
thorough as it ought to be remains to
be seen.
"How any patriotic citizen can be
indifferent to the situation is more
than I can understand. This is Penn
sylvania's opportunity. Just such an
opportOnity to strike to its deuth the
murderous liquor trade may not soon
come again. There are enough sober
citizens in Pennsylvania to bury the
infamous business under an ava
lanche of ballots—and bury it so deep
it can have no resurrection.''

CIVIL ENGINEER
ANSWERS DEATH
NOTE OF WOMAN
Clearfield, Pa., Man Says In
fatuation of College Dean
Was Her Own Lookout
Clearfield, Pa., April 23. H. W.
Hess, a widely-known civil engineer
of this place, yesterday answered the
"death note" of Miss Jean Katherine
Baird, novelist and head of the wo
man's department of Beaver Col
lege, Pa., who committed suicide
Saturday night, supposedly because
of her hopeless love for Hess. Ap
parently buf little affected by the
dramatic note, inflicting a curse up
n his newly-married life. Hess said:
"Miss Baird was a word-painter
and inclined to draw on her imagi
nation. If she was infatuated with
me, that was her own lookout. Twen
ty-five years ago I led her on, I ad
mit, but I was married about that
time and forgot about her. When
my wife died, I was in correspond
ence with and saw Miss Baird at
times. A week ago 1 was married the
second time. I can say that since
our boy-and-girl affair of twenty-five
years ago there has been nothing
more than a friendship between Miss
Baird and myself."
The last words penned by Miss
Baird were found in her room by
the college authorities after they had
broken down the door of her room
and discovered her body. They were
as follows: •
"You liave taken everything rrom
me but my honor. 1 thank God I
still have that. Your arms wHI
never be around her at night but my
dead face will step 1 etween you,
your lips will never touch hers out
my dead lips will be there first.
"Every day of your married life
will be cursed. Before the year
ends you will do as I have done.

HAHJRISBURG UWW TELEGRAPH
LAWYERS FIGHT
A SECOND TRIAL
Tell Judges Statement by Wit
ness That He Gave False
Testimony Is Untrue
Declaring the statement that a chief
witness in a civil suit said after he
left the stand that he had testified
falsely was not true, and that there
was- ai conspiracy against Mr. and
Mrs. George H. Albright, who mare
than a year ago were given a verdict
of $6,560 against the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company, counsel for the Al
brights appeared to-day in Argument
Court before Judges S. J. M. McGar
rell and C. V. Henry to fight the mo
tion of attorneys for the company,
who want the judgment set aside and
their motion for a new trial reinstat
ed.
The motion for a new trial was de
nied the company last year by the
Court. Shortly after a statement was
filed that Isaac Kissinger, chief wit
ness in the Albright case, had ad
mitted he testified falsely. Counsel
for the Albrights to-day declared to I
the Court they had depositions to
show tjjat Kissinger would repeat his
former testimony on the stand, de
spile the statement of the defense
that .a private detective, brought here
from another city, watched Kissinger
and finally got the confession from
him in the presence of two other de
tectives.
Evidence now before the Court
shows that a private detective spent
three" months last year in Kissinger's
home, 1314 North Front street, finally
taking the old streetsweeper to an
other house uptown, where the con
fession was tnade. It is said Klsginged
admitted he did not see the accident
in which Mrs. Albright was injured;
that he testified falsely and was paid
$25 to do so. Counsel for the prose
cutors filed their depositions taken
from Mrs. Jane Saunders, with whom
Kissinger resided, and also Kissingers
sttaement in which he denies the pri
vate detective's expose and dec-lares
his testimony on the stand in Novem
ber. 1916, was true.
The attorneys, in speaking to the
Court, said letters they sent Kissinger
and Mrs. Saunders did not reach them,
and also referred to a letter which Mr.
Albright received in Philadelphia and
which was supposedly written by Kis
singer. Kissinger can neither read
nor write,-it was asserted.
It was explained to the judges that
Kissinger was only located after a
long search, as be hard moved from
the city. The Albrights at the time
of the accident resided uptown. Mrs.
Albright was hurt, it was said, when
she was hurled from the step of a
Street car at Sixth and Geary streets,
suffering severe injury.
J. C. Campbell, State
Farm Advisor, Is Dead
Word reached the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to-day of tre
death of J. T. Campbell, state farm
adviser, at his home in Hartstown,
Crawford county, after an illness of
one week, caused by exposure dur
ing performance of his duty during
the rigorous weather two weeks ago.

work as adviser was a general farm

1. Inspector Reel wilL leave at that
time to accept a position with a
prominent scale manufacturing com
pany.
The ordinance regulating all ad
\ ertising signs in the city, whether
billboards, bulletins, or electric signs
was Introduced by Mayor Keister,
who said he desired to nave it care
fully considered before final pas
sage. It was prepared, he explain
ed, after a study of similar meas
ures in force in other cities.
Regulations l-W Signs
Among the provisions are the fol
lowing: No signs to be more than
thirty inches outside building line;
may not be higher than thirteen feet

dinance.
Commissioner Gross, in speaking
of the agitation to have the name
of Muench stret changed said in
part: "I have consulted with other
city officials and find no disposition
to change the name of Muench
street. Those who advocate such a
step apparently are not at all con
versant with the history of Harris
burg. lo change the name would
wipe out the remembrance of a man
very 'prominent in city affairs—
Charles F. Muench. Whle the name
sounds German, he was of Swiss
parentage and his forefathers were
Huguenots. He was a loyal citizen
in the Civil War, and lost a son in
that war. His other son, Robert L.
Muench, was an officer in the Army
at that time, later becoming a prom
inent lawyer. Years ago the name
of Mr. Muench was a byward in the
city and he represents Harrisburg in
history as few will n years to ocme.
Grace and Charles strets also re
ceived their names as an honor to
his wife and to him." It was also
said by other members of Council
that Mr. Muench was on the commis
sion to plot the city in 1874.

fund. Commissioner Hassler called
Council's attention to the repairs

Commissioner Lynch introduced
the resolution declaring Friday a
legal holiday if Governor Brum
baugh makes such a proclamation.
The resolution as passed provides for
closing all city offices and directs city
employes wherever possble to aid in

1900 Gren street, as copyist in the

Increase For Railroad
Men Likely 20 Per Cent.
WiiNhlnictoii, April 23.—Director-
General McAdoo yesterday sent a
message to all the employes of the
railroad administration, giving them
assurance they will receive a sub
stantial increase in wages. He tells
them that the good word will be sent
out about May 5, immediately after
his return, on completion of the Lib
erty Loan driVQ.
The director-general asks the men
to show their patriotism and proper
spirit by "lending "H tlie money they
can" in buying Liberty Loan Bonds.
The wage Increase will date from
January 1 and the director-general
passes along the broad hint that the
increase will be four -months' "vel
vet," and no better use can be made
of It than in turning this to the
support of the war, while they will
receive per cent, interest a year.
No indication of the Increase Is
given. The wage adjustment board
has finished its decision and Is ready
'APRIL 23. 1918.
to submit the findings to the director
general on May 4. It is generally be
lieved that the advance will average
about twenty per cent. This will
mean the cutting of a melon worth
something like $250,000,000 for the
employes. It will be divided. In view
of the high cost of living, so tne
men receiving less pay will receive
the greater proportionate increase.
