STEELTON NEWS ITEMS
WANT LOWER FIRE
INSURANCE RATES
Chief Malehorn to Apply to
Companies For Ad
justments
On the fact that the fire losses In
the borough in the last five months
have not been more than $6,000, Chief
O. E. B. Malehorn said this morning
he will in the near future request a
reduction in the fire Insurance rates
to local property owners.
in explaining his action, Chief
Malehorn said:
"The tire losses this year have been
about 16,000. which is exceptionally
small for a town like Steelton. The
borough now has a motorized fire
department with a steamer in re
serve in ease it is needed.
"When the borough department
was first motorized there was some
talk of insurance companies making
an adjustment in the rates, but up
to tliis time nothing has been done.
I believe that the borough is deserv
ing of lower rates and the Steelton
lire department Intends to get more
reasonable terms if it is at all pos
sible.
"I<ast year the loss was $500,000,
which was unusually large, because
of th $150,000 loss' of the HofTer
tlouring mill fire. Local firemen did
not believe at that time there was
any use to apply for lower rates and
consequently the matter was post
poned.
"With the first loss in the first
five months so small, 1 am of the
opinion that Steelton should be given
lower rates, inasmuch as the rates
are higher here than in many towns
its size."
Just when action along these lines
will be taken Chief Malehorn was
unable to say, but declares the move
would be made shortly. What meth
od of procedure will bo followed out
the chief was unable to say.

DISCHARGE LAW BIUCAKERS
Lack of evidence to charge them
with assault and battery was the
cause of four West Siders being dis
charged with fines and costs at a
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Stees last evening. Edward Daily,
Arche Hammacker, William Diley
and James Miller were arrested by
Consta'ble Glbb on charges of assault
and battery and resisting an officer
preferred by Constable John Winn
of the borough police force. At the
hearing it was brought out that the
men did not assault the patrolman
but just resisted arrest.
HF.LD FOR COI'RT
At a hearing before Justice of
Peace Stees last evening Tom and
Phil Smith, negroes, were held for
court on charges of assault and bat
tery and resisting an officer pre
ferred by Special Officer A. A. Har

DEMOCRATS AT
FIGHTING STAGE
Whetstones Much in Demand
in Advance of Meeting of
StSate Committeemen
IndicatlonK were multiplying to
day that the Democracy of Penn
sylvania wouldl stage two separate
shows in conjunction with the bi
ennial meeting for reorganization of
the State Committee. This will be
Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell's day and
to-morrow will be the Palmer-McCor
mick day.
The judge an dliis friends will be
here this afternoon and complete ar
rangements for a mass meeting and
reception to the judge at the Dau
phin county courthouse. This means
that they realize that the other side
has "sewed up" the state committee
and that if the judge wishes to get
his personal views before the peo
ple he will hav.e to present his plat
form at the mass meeting. To-mor
row the official body will do as the
state leaders who enjoy the federal
sunshine desire.
An Interesting slant upon the
strength of the Palmcr-McCormick
faction was given to-day when it
was learned tjiat. ex-Judge W. Wes
cott, of New Jersey, who presented
the name of Woodrow Wilson at two
national conventions, would not be
here to-night to be the orator at Uie
Bonniwell show. No explanation of
the failure of the judge to appear
has been vouchsafed and the Bonni
well people will not alk about it.
Warren VanDyke, secretary of the
DemocratJc state committee, sat tight
to-day on his claim that at least
ieghty members of the state commit
tee would be favorable to the reor
ganizes. This means that if the pres
ent plans hold George R. McLean, of
Wilkes-Barre, will be elected state
chairman and the desires of Palmer
and McCormick as to a platform will
be put through despite any protests
of Bonniwell and his friends. This
will maintain the headquarters in the
grip of the reorganizers and the
judge may be given the courtesy of
naming a campaign committee. He
wants the whole thing, contending
that as standard bearer he is entitled
t.o it. There will be many words and
much heartburnings at the state com
mittee meeting, but it will end at
that.
State Chairman Kuffey and Na
tional Committeeman Palmer will be
along to-night some time when the
bulk of the state committeemen will
arrive. Two interesting arrivals to
day were William .1. Brennen. the Al
legheny leader, one of the shrewdest
of them all, and J. J. Breen, the Bon
niwell field marshal. Mr. Brennen
was with Joe Ouffey, but is now of
the opinion that Bonniwell being the
head of the ticket should bo given the
organization, which neddless to say,
Is not at all the way the Palmer-Mc-
Cormick people think. Mr. Brsleen
arrived early from Philadelphia in
clined to be more observant than
talkative.
The meeting to-night in the court
house will be started by B. P. Meyers
at 8 o'clock, and there will lie a flow
of oratory and enunciation of Jeffer
sonlan principles.
2 MINUTES FOR PRAYER
IS GAINING IN FAVOR
[Continued front First Page.]
ing h place in the plans for the day
and this is responsible for the fa
vorable reception of the prayer
period. Indications to-day are that
with such a tremendous feeling for
the adoption of the plan, arrange
ments will be made to find a place
for it in the day's observance.
"In God We Trust"'
Newer and fuller significance will
be lent to the United States motto,
"In God We Trust," by the observ
ance of such a period of prayer, says
Dr. Ellis N. Kremer, of the Re
formed Salem Church. "United pray
er," Dr Lewis S. Mudge, of the Pine
Street Presbyterian Church, "is the
best thing for strengthening the
morale of the civilians at home."
Dr. George Edward Hawes, pas
tor of the Market Square Presby
terian Church, this morning issued
this statement to the Telegraph:
"Your brief editorial in the issue
of June 17, strikes a chord which
may well be kept vibrating. I am
very much in favor of a good deal of
prayer of the right sort on our na
tional holiday. If we cannot have
more than two minutes then by all
means let us have two minutes; but
let It be in the real spirit of prayer.
1 had a very decided objection to the
plan proposed recently that bells be
rung, and every person anywhere
spend live minutes in prayer each
day. This was too much like the
Pharisees of old who delighted to
stand on the street corners to pray
'that they might be seen of men.'
But. if we can have a few minutes
on the Fourth of July it will be all
right. You can direct the public
mind in a manner which will make
it all right.
"While I am speaking about it
may I tell you of something, else
which can be made a community af
fair? Doubtless you know that Mar
ket Square Church has had a prayer
meeting on the Fourth for about
thirty-five years. Last year we broad
ened this because of the war, and
this year we are broadening it still
further. Invitations have been sent
to the official boards of all the near
by churches and most of them have
accepted. Dr. Mudge, Dr. Kremer,
Dr. Herman, Dr. Yates and Dr. Han
son have assured me they and their
people will come. We expect Grace
Methodist and the First Baptist peo
ple. We cordially invite the whole
citizenship to meet with us at 7
o'clock to spend an hour in prayer
for our nation, and our cause and
our men."
Bishop Praises Idea
The Rev. Robert Bagnell, pastor
of the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, as his parting words before
leaving this morning for France to
gain an idea of the conditions on the
French battlefield, said that he
agreed heartily with the plan sug
gested for a period of prayer as part
of the Independence Day observance.
The Rt. Rev. Philip R. McDevitt,
Bishop of the Harrisburg Diocese of
the Roman Catholic Church, like
wise places his stamp of approval on

the prayer suggestion. This morning
he said: "The suggestion that the
people of Harrisburg turn to God
in silent prayer for a few minutes on
Independence Day, Is an inspiring
thought. The momentary setting
aside by a whole community of all
worldly business would be a humble
and eloquently simply recognition of
the Providence of God in whose
hands rest the destinies of the na
tion."
Dr. Kremer Approves
"Two minutes of Independence
Day set aside especially for prayer"
is an exceptionally fine idea In the
opinion of Dr. Ellis N Kremer. of
the Reformed Salem Church. Sol
emnity would be lent to this short j
period of prayer. the Rev. Mr.
Kremer believes, if it were held in
connection with the union prayer
meeting to be held in the Market
Square Presbyterian Church on In
dependence Day . morning at 7
o'clock. He believes that it might be
well to have the two minutes set
aside about 8 o'clock, the time about
which the union meeting will end.
"It would be an excellent plan," Dr.
Kremer says, "if the whole city
would pause and lift Itself up in
prayer for the cause of soldiers and
sailors in the United States service.
Not only as an active devotion would |
it be valuable, but because of its
wholesome influence would It be
highly advantageous. By reason of
it, we would feel more deeply the
need of divine aid and help and
it would aid as well in bringing Into
fuller significance the United States
motto, "In God We Trust," which
oftimes is forgotten by we Ameri
cans."
Heartily Kndorsed
Dr. I>ewis S. Mudge, of the Pine
Street Presbyterian Church, read the
Telegraph editorial with much in
terest and with the warmest ap
proval, he says. Heartily in favor of
the plan, Dr. Mudge hopes that some
definite time may be agreed upon
for all citizens to observe this period
of prayer. "Nothing is more im
portant," he said. "than united
prayer. We are talking all the time
of keeping up and raising the morale
of our soldiers 'over there.' but it is
just as important that we give some
attention to keeping up the morale
of the civilians 'over here.' Nothing
is better fitted to accomplish this
purpose than prayer," he declares.
Dr. J. A. Lyter. of the Derry Street
United Brethren Church, affirms that
the two-minute prayer period plan
has no more hearty supporter in
Harrisburg than himself. He said:
"I am heartily In favor of the plan
and will do all that I possibly can
to create sentiment for its observ- j
ance."
Not Knough Prayer
The Rev. William J. Lockhart, of
the First Baptist Church, this morn
ing said that the idea of having a
period of Independence Day set aside
especially for prayer is an excellent
Idea and that he Is especially favor
able to its adoption. "We don't have
nearly enough of prayer," he said.
"Pepple don't quite realize the se
riousness of the situation," in the
opinion of the Rev. Mr. Lockhart.
"Our boys are over there," he said,
"and some of them are never coming
back. When we think of that we |
ought to be in touch with God for i
their temporal and spiritual wel- )
fare." Continuing, the Rev. Mr. j
Lockhart said, "prayer is our only
.method of being in touch with God
and will help to bring about the re
sults desired." The Rev. Mr. Lock
hart is of the opinion that there has
been much of frivolity in our Inde
pendence Day celebrations of the
past despite the significant epoch it
marks in the history of the United
States. This he sincerely hopes will
be obliterated from the programs for
this year's celebrations. He said:
"The religious side should be em
phasized more in our Fourth of July
celebrations."
Millionaire Will Wear
Blue Jeans During War
Denver—Edwin A. Brown, Denver
sociologist and reputed a millionaire,
author of stories of men who are
"down and out," as a measure of war
time economy has announced that
he will wear only suits of blue jeans
until the war ends. He already has
appeared in his new garb at two
Sunday services at the First Presby
terian Church, one of the most fash
ionable in Denver.
Mr. Brown's first appearance at
church caused more ordinary atten
tion to his clean and neatly Ironed
"war suit." It drew almost as much
attention as the sermon, his fellow
parishioners said.

send two officers to that place to stop
speeding on the highways, which has
become a peril to those about the
camp.
"The State Police have no desire
to persecute anybody," said Captain
Lumb to-day. "We have been re
quested to co-operate with the State
Highway Department in making the
highways safe. The state law limits
speed to twenty-four miles an hour.
The State Police can do no more and
no less than to enforce that man
date. It is not the fault of the of
ficers that the speed limit is thought
by some of those who have been ar
rested to be too low. We have re
ceived many complaints from those
who have been fined because the of
ficers measured off sections and
timed the-motorists, but that is the
only method by which evidenpe
could be procured. We have been
ordered to make automobilists com
ply with the law and we can do
nothing else."
State Police Make Arrest
After Lively Experience
Corporal H. B. Lantz and Private
Lloyd R. Cherry, of the State Police,
arrested Lloyd Healey, a negro, In
Lancaster county yesterday after an
exciting experience. Healey had
been arrested at New Holland by
Cherry on a charge of assault and
battery filed before a justice at
Ephfata and suddenly swung a pow
erful blow to the officer's jaw and
broke away. Sergeant Lantz, who
was nearby, fired over Healey's head
and called on him to halt. He did
so and was taken back to Ephrata,
where an additional charge, assault
ing an officer, was lodged against
him. The report that Healey made
an effort to shoot Cherry is false.

COMEDY ACTS AT
MAJESTIC PLEASE
McNally and Ashton Win
Much Applause; Recall
Morion For Encores
Two good comedy aits on the Ma
jestic program for the first three days
of the week win the most applause,
and although neither one is billed as
a headliner, the audience seemed to
enjoy the offerings more than any
other ones on the list.
"Houae Hate." Episode No. 6
finds the usual, order of things re
versed. the heroine is on her way to
save the hero when the "continued"
line appears. Sucli is the life for
movie melodrama stars.
Juliette Buaeh. Juliette opens the
hill on the stage with a novelty song,
dance and aerial acrobatic offering.
Me\a||y nn< | Anl,ton. Fun and
song from this couple start the com
edy end of the program and at the
close last night the audience applaud
ed for minutes, but no encore re
sulted.
"Here Comes Eva." Eva' Larue
is featured in this all-girl musical i
comedy, which is pleasing in its way !
but is lacking In action. A slight re- |
vision of the skit might make it one i
of the best of the season.
Ed. Morton. Each number mak
ing a bigger hit than the one just
finished is the way Morton lists his
list of songs arranged. All of them
are good comedy numbers, and only
one or two were offered before. Ed.
was recalled for an encore last night.
HIII'm Comedy Circus. This train
ed animal offering is like a number of
others on the vaudeville stage. It
closes with the usual "ride the j
donkey" feature.

Clara Kimball to-day and to-
Young at the morrow in "The
Colonial Theater Reason Why," an
adaptation from
the famous novel of the same name.
The direction and photography of the
play is excellent; the story is one that
holds the attention throughout. Miss
Young is very beautiful and at all
times pleasing. This is orfe of the
most forceful emotional roles the star
has yet appeared in. In this produc
tion the star wears some very beau
tiful gowns. Thursday and Friday
Williamson Brothers will be shown in
"The Submarine Eye," producers of
the submarine scenes in "20,000
Leagues Under the Sea."
I One of the greatest photoplay sen
sations ever shown in this city was
shown upon the
"Over the Top" screen of the popu
at the Vletorln lar Victoria Thea
ter yesterday. It
wa? a picturizatlon of Sergeant Ar
thur Guy Empey's famous book, read
by millions, "Over the Top." and in
which this famous soldier is the star.
In view of the fact that Empey is the
star you may rest assured that no lit
tle detail bas been omitted which
would help bring the lesson of the
seriousness of this great war home
to the American people and to make
them feel that the quicker every man,
woman and child does their part the
sooner the terrible war will end and
the sooner the Hun shall have
been subdued—conquered and Prus
sianism forever blotted from the
world.

For Itching Torture
There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy. •
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim
ples, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use snd
dependable. It costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, SI.OO. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins. .
