CROWDED COURTS GET ATTENTION OF THE GRAND JURY Lnusual Conditions Cause In convenience to Witnesses Before High Body Better accommodations for wit-j nessed in attendance before the grand jury are recommended in tin? report filed at this session of court. Because of the three court sessions held during the week the grand jury room at the rear of the building has used by Judge S. J. M. McCarrel! and one of the smaller jury rooms near the front of the building by the grand jury. Dtlring the entire Week the hall on the second lloor of the Court house was crowded with scores of witnesses waiting to be called either to testify in court on that floor or before the grand jury with the re sult that at times the corridor WHS almost impassable. Added to this congestion were the many men who came to the city council chamber to have lawyers help them fill out ques tionnaires. With each session of Criminal Court and the constantly increasing number of cases, lack of adequate accommodations for three cessions of court and for the grand jury is becoming more noticeable, court officials say. Usually, when tnree court sessions are held the council chamber is pressed into ser vice but its use this week by regis trants and attorneys prevented turn ing it into a courtroom. 117 Indictments Returned The grand jury returned 147 bills of indictment and ignored thirty-one during the week. The authorities in charge of lhe county almshouse are commended for the exceptionally good condition in which the institu tion is kept and for the care, conduct and management of'it. A simitar commendation is gjyen the prison warden and his attendants. Quasi criminal actions were dis posed of before Judge McCarrel! in Courtroom No. 3 this morning. W. M. Filton was acquitted of unlaw fully operating a motor vehicle; Jo seph Tressler and Katie Slesser were acquitted of one serious charge and each convicted on another, and at noon Robert Dolsey and Margaret Williams, bolh colored, were on trial on serious charges.

All chil dren who brought garments for the Belgians were admitted without charge. Mrs. E. K. Waltz, Penbrook, and Mrs. Dillon, mothers of llar risburg boys wlio gave their lives in France, are working In the Fourth and Market street rooms. They gave their lioys; now they're giving themselves. Men ol' the city did'not respond to the call for volunteer packers. It wus accessary to call soldiers from Middletown and Marsh Run to help. Men ai*e urgently needed! Have you given your share? CITY SHORT FIVE TONS FOR BELGIANS [Continued from First Page.] lliii brought a big truck load and other West Shore to'wns responded gladly to he appeal for aid. Believing that they could do more f, ven when they had given their sons to the cause of democracy, Mrs. E. K. Waltz, Penbrook, and Mrs. Dil lon. mothers of war heroes, brought their sons clothing to the headquar ters at Fourth and Market streets, I last night. When they saw the great need for workers, they plunged into the hard task of assorting and pre paring the clothes forpacking. Contributions of money came from many sources. A man who refused to give his name came into the headquarters yesterday • afternoon with a crsp five-dollar bill. "Take this for the Belgians," he said. "Sorry I can't give more!" Many Send Money Resolving that every bit of con tribution shall go to the Belgians, all scraps of paper were saved by the women workers. Last night they were sold and another contribution of $3.05 deposited in the bank by Mrs. Gipple. More than a hundred dollars in monetary contributions has been received. This will be used to purchase more clothing. Because Harrisburg men did not respond to the call for volunteer workers to do packing and assist in preparing the clothing, it was neces sary for the Officials in charge of the campaign to invoke assistance of soldiers from Middletown and Marsh Run. Through the courtesy of com manding officers a number of the men were detailed to assist the work. Mrs. H. E. Lucas, of Red Cross headquarters, was kept busy all the day yesterday answering the persist, ent jangle of the telephone. "Send a motor messenger or a truck for some clothes," was the burden of the mes sages. It is requested that if it is possible to bring the packages to the headquarters this should be done, since it is virtually impossible to an swer ail tlie calls. Send Racking Cases It is also requested that firms throughout the city send packing cases. Although the gifts of many big stores have been generous, it is necessary to secure more boxes, it was explained. Special praise was given by of fiials to Mr. Belsinger, of the Penn sylvania Transfer Company, who as sisted very materially in makig the campaign a virtual success. Among the contributions was a big bag of clothing addressed "For the Bel gians, Care Harrisburg Telegraph." The label bore the name of A. C. Hocker, R. D. No. 1, Newburg. Actress Gives Party Through the courtesy of Manager C. Floyd Hopkins, Miss Florence Tiniponi, singing comedienne, gave a theater party to hundreds of chil dren who flocked to the theater this afternoon. Every child who brought a garment for the Bel gians was admitted without charge and saw the entire performance. Miss Timponi made a little speech to them, telling them of the great necessity of giving more clothing and urging them to back the campaign.

Letter to the Editor TELLS OF GAS USE >o the Editor of the Telegraph: In regard 1° th e charge made by tne Harrisburg Gas Company in your paper of the 27th inst. I wish to state that the publication of a charge of maliciously tapping the service pipe supplying gas to premises 416 bouth Thirteenth street. Harrisburg. Pa., by W. D. Markley. is in itself un unwarranted piece of malice, in tended to injure reputation. the facts are that the gas com pany knew that it was being tried to heat the water system at this apartment with gas service, and that W. D. Markley did not make the connection and did not know that the connection was made as it was made; and as a matter of fact the experiment was a failure and gas from this connection could not be used in any other manner than for this experiment, and in fact none was used in any other manner. There was no malicious intent whatever, and as a matter of fact there wasn't $1.50 worth of gas consumed in all. W. D. Markley claims he is wrongly injured by the unwarranted public ity given this matter in the needless color given and accusations made by the gas company, and will at once institute an action for damages against this corporation.
