DEMOCRATS TURN
PROHIBITION INTO
PARTISAN PATH
Burleson, Lobbying Against
Bill, Summoned to Appear
Before Senate Committee
Washington, June 22.—Democratic
Cabinet leaders and men high in
party councils are making a real po
litical issue out of the agitation for
a dry nation during the war period.
The issue which has been more or
less a burning one since the House
passed a bill prohibiting the manu
facture of beer to conserve food, has
been fanned into a partisan struggle,
promising to benefit Republican can
didates for Congress.
Former Secretary of State Bryan
came out for the bill in appearing
before the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, but recently has been
quiescent since the belief became
strong among Democratic candidates
for Congress that the nassage of the
bill would injure vnem politically.
Those favoring a wet nation thought
that the matter would be allowed to
rest until after election, at least, be
cause of the opposition of President
Wilson and others.
It came sharply to the fore yester
day by the action of the Prohibition
members of the Agriculture Commit
tee insisting that Postmaster General
Burleson, Secretary Daniels and E.
N. Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, be requested
to appear and give their views on
the subject.
It was asserted in the committee
that Mr. Burleson had been lobbying
and exerting his influences secretly
against the bill and that it was only
proper that he should give his opin
ions to the country openly.
Mr. Hurley has gone on record
against the ban on beer, asserting
that if the nation becomes beerless
during the war it would interfere
greatly with the efficiency of ship
yards. He corttends that men now
engaged at shipyards would not re
main if they had their beer taken
away from them. The same position
is taken by Bainbridge Colby, of the
Shipping Board.
Representative Randall, of Califor
nia, Prohibitionist, said in an inter
view yesterday:
"I received confirmation through
confidential sources that high au
thority in the Democratic party had
planned to postpone at all hazards
a war prohibition enactment until
after the election. The party in pow
er is threatened by the brewery and
liquor interests in the large cities
with the loss of the next House of
Representatives if prohibition is en
acted now.

Workmen's Compensation Board in
awarding compensation to Myrtle

McCreath Brothers under contract.
The case will be heard before a jury

Alien Arrested Charged
With Hoarding Wheat Flour
Tony Buha, 30 Herr street, ar
rested last night by agents of the
Dauphin county food administration
for having 15u pounds of flour in
his house, was given a preliminary
hearing before Donald McCormick,
county food administrator, this
moraine-. A further hearing will be
held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
The flour was confiscated by the
food administration.
Buha claimed this morning that
he did not know he was hoarding
the flour in excess of the food regu
lations. These regulatioris prohibit
anyone from buying more than 24
pounds of flour at one time. Sub
stitutes in equal quantities must be
purchased with the flour. Bulm
had no substitutes. An official of
the food administration said that
Buha stated he could prove by Tues
day morning that his violation of
the law . was through ignorance
rather than intention. The fine for
the offense is $5,000 or two years
in jail, or both.
Buha is a former citizen of Aus
tria-Hungary. He claims to have
taken out his first naturalization
papers.
City Library to Be
Closed During July
The Harrisburg Public Library will
be closed during the month of July
to permit of treatment of the walls
of the main hall. Plans have been
completed by Miss Alice R. Eaton, the
librarian, whereby patrons of the li
brary may have an extra allowance of
books under certain rules. The li
brary will close June 30 and reopen
on August 1.
During the closing the members of
the staff will take their vacations,
and owing to war conditions it is the
plan to start the autumn activities of
the library earlier than usual in the
fall.
Circulation during this month has
been keeping ahead of any previous
June, the demand for books on the
war being very noticeable.
Commissioners Get List
of Coal Co. Holdings
A complete list of all coal lands
In Schuylkill county owned by the
Susquehanna Coal Company, and the
assessments on the property has been
received by the County Commission
ers. At a meeting In the near fu
ture thesewill be discussed in con
nection with the arrangements for
the triennial assessment in the fall.
Kfforts are being made to obtain a
similar list from Northumberland
county where the company holds
1 other land, the officials said.
COAL FOR SCHOOLS
WILL COST $30,000
New Teachers Elected For
Central, Tech and Gram
mar Schools
Coal for the city school buildings
for next winter will cost $30,000;
17,000 more than for the 1917 sea
son and $16,000 more than in 1916.
These figures were placed before the
school board yesterday. Under a fed
eral requirement the coal must be
I purchased from the same place as
in the last two years but may not be
purchased direct from the mines, as
the board had been doing. As a re
sult the supply will be purchased
from the United Ice and Coal Com
pany. Last year the coal was bought
direct from the mines and the direc
tors arranged with local dealers to
have it hauled from cars to the
school buildings.
Alterations to the present office
building to increase the administra
tion rooms will be started soon it
was announced. Secretary D. D.
Hammelbaugh was authorized to get
bids for the work. In addition to the
rooms now in use the large hall on
the second floor formerly used for
the Teachers Training School classes
will be altered. The training school
will be in the Steele building
next year.
The frame dwellinghouse on the
Stroh property in North Sixth street,
purchased recently by the board,
was sold to Arthur R. Rupley. It will
be removed in the near future and
the tract wiH then be utilized for
a school playground. Repairs in
many of the buildings were author
ized although many items on the de
tailed list were eliminated.
Harry DeWire, of Milton, was
elected as a teacher of English at
the Technical High school, and Miss
Florence Atherton, of Chambers
burg, was elected as a teacher of
French at Central.
Othter teachers elected for the
elementary grades were:
Annie G. Clouser, M. Cloe Haller,
Grace P. Reinert, Sarah Pratt, Cath
erine Lewis, Georgia Potter, Helen
Johnston, Florence Rinkenbach.
City's Men Not in
War to Wield Hoe in
Country This Summer
An opportunity for all men not
shouldering a musket or in some other
form wearing the insignia of the
United States Government, for carry
ing a hoe will be presented by the
One Day Farm Emergency Corps of
the United States Public Service Re
serve, Pennsylvania Division.
Pennsylvania is the first common
wealth in the United States to obtain
emergency service for agricultural
work by asking the vacation time or
one day a week from all those in the
state who can possibly spare the time
and are capable of serving on farms.
Approximately one-third of the men
in this city have had some experience
in agricultural work in their youth;
many others are willing to volunteer
their services in spare time in this
emergency for agricultural labor.
They will be paid the market pric<\
and under the direction of the County
Farm Manager will be furnished
transportation to the farm, and from
the farm to the city. The signature
of volunteers will be obtained through
the services of the Boy Scouts of
America. The agreement of employers
to release the employe is just as es
sential as the man himself. To win
the war quickly all must do their part
to the best of their ability. If you
cannot carry a gun, carry a hoe.
Miners Asked to Lose
No Time From Work
In order that there may be no
time lost by miners, the department
of the draft, quota from the mining
region Monday has been postponed
from 9.43 until evening, at the re
quest of Fuel Administrator Garfield.
The fuel administrator urged that
that at this crisis f>ach day's output
of anthracite is so vital that arrange
ments have been made for the min
ers to leave after the day's work
in order that any farewell celebra
tion to make their departure can be
postponed until the day's work is fin
ished.
The telegram from the National
Fuel Administration says in part:
"It. is to be hoped that you vino are
left behind in the mining industry
will fall to the task before you with
added energy of purpose and will
make up, so far as possible, for the
loss of labor which the war has forc
ed upon your industry. The slogan
'Coal will win the war' is no empty
phrase but a grim reality which
places you in the forefront of the
soldiers of the industrial armv. The
efficiency of the nation depends upon
your patriotism and fidelity. That
you realize the trust and will fuj.
(11l it 1 am assured."

Election of Agnew T. Dice
Gives Rise to Rumors; Is
Now Corporate Head
The retirement of E. T. Stotesbury
from the presidency of the Reading
Company and the election of Agnew
T. Dice, president, acquires signif
icance in view of the information
which was had simultaneously in
higher financial quarters in New
York to the effect that there is a
plan worked out on paper for a cor
porate separation of the coal and
railway properties now owned by the
Reading Company. It is said that
the plan awaits the return of At
torney J. Reynolds, vice-president of
the First National Bank of New York,
who is now in California.
A few days ago the United States
Supreme Court agreed that there
should be a second reargument of
the Reading case. The idea seems
to be that before next October, when
such new argument is scheduled to
take place, the whole matter can be
worked out on a basis to make it
unnecessary for the government to
urge further the contention in which
it has had no success so far, a basis
also satisfactory to the owner of the
Reading properties.
Dloe IK Corporate Head
President Dice has been in the
position of corporate head of the
Philadelphia and Reading since the
appointment of Charles H. Kwing as
federal manager of that system. The
limitation of President Dice's duties
to corporate matters made possible
his assumption of like obligations as
executive head of the holding com
pany.
Alfred H. Smith, regional railroad
director of the northeastern section
of the country, resigned as director
of both the holding and railway com
panies, in pursuance of an order by
Director General McAdoo that he
sever connections with any railroad
board of directors in which he still
retained membership. William K.
Vqnderbilt, Jr.. succeeded to the di
rectorate. Mr. Smith, as president
of the New York Central lines, had
represented that road's holdings in
the Reading Company.
William L. Kinter, assistant gen
eral solicitor of the Reading Com
pany. also resigned from the board of
directors of each company. His place
on the Reading Company was taken
by President Dice and on the Phil
adelphia and Reading by C. E. Dilkes,
Jr.. tax agent of the road.
Charles Heebner, general solicitor
of the company, was appointed to a
new position as general counsel.

American Soldiers Drive Ger
mans From Posts Near
Thierry
With the American Army In
France. June 22. The American
forces northwest of Chateau Thierry
yesterday further straightened their
line by a series of small but brll
| liantly-executed attacks on the north
: side of Belleau wood,
j American artillery at midnight
| Thursday night poured an avalanche
j of projectiles into the wood to the
I east of Chateau Thierry, where aerial
had showed there was a
! host of German troops and much
enemy material. The enemy un-
I doubtedly was severely punished,
j The American fire reached the
j highest concentration in a ten-minute
i period, when 1,200 shells of all cali
' bers fell on one small area. Later
j the American gunners concentrated
I their fire on the town of Brasles,
where many of the enemy were as
sembled and which was th e scene of
recent captures of prisoners by our
patrols. Aerial observations yester
day showed the extreme accuracy of
our fire, but, of course, the exact ef
fect is unknown.
The American troops rushed the
desired positions held by the enemy
in Belleau wood without the custom
ary artillery preparation. The Ger
| mans for the most part took a few
j shots and then retired. One enemy
| post held its ground and was quick
! ly annihilated.
J To the east of Belleau wood a thin
j line of American skirmishers ad
vanced, firing as they went, and ob-
I tained their objectives without diffl
j culty. All the operations were car-
I ried out as planned. As a result the
American positions have been
strengthened, and we are better able
to withstand an assault when it
comes.

PAXTANG PARK THEATER
Vaudeville Specialties.
The park bill for the week is one
of the best vaudeville shows this sea
son. The headline, Maes-
I'lixlnnt tro and Company, pre-
I'ark sent a juggling and ac-
I'lienter robatic act that is the
one original novelty in
tltis line that the stage has produced
in several seasons. The other acts on
the park bill are selected from the
better class of vaudeville attractions.
Next week the park theater man
agement will offer musical comedy in
stead of vaudeville at their park play
house. The tirst attraction under the
new policy will be a musical comedy
entitled "The Bachelor Dinner," with
A. Seymour Brown, the well-known
song writer and comedian, in the lead
ing role. Mr, Brown will have the
support of a capable company and
chorus.
The present bill at the Majestic
Theater, which contains plenty of
good laughs, and which
At the will complete its stay to-
Majestic night, will be followed next
week by "Pretty Baby," the
splendid tabloid musical comedy
show that has the distinction
of holding the Majestic Theater rec
ord. "Pretty Baby" played a week
at the Majestic last winter, and at
tracted larger crowds than any other
attraction that Wilmcr and Vincent
have sent to the Walnut street vaude
ville theater. There are twenty-tive
people in the cast of this musical com

who make frequent changes of cos
tume and keep a lively tire of song
and dance running through the piece.
Splendid comedians till the leading
roles. It is believed that the Majestic
will again next week be the scene i*f
