TURNS STATE'S
EVIDENCE TO GET
A LIGHT FINE
Cheiiowcth Provides Means of
Hading Center of Distribu
tion in Philadelphia
Fines of SSO each were given to
Robert F. Chenowetli and his wife.
Helen Chenowetli for alleged viola
tion of the Ifnrrison Drug Act, by
Judge Charles B. Wltmef in Federal
court yesterday. Despite the fact
that the Chenoweths are well-known
in police circles of this'city, the fines
Were light because they are appear
ing in Philadelphia against other
agents, it is said through their aid,
the biggest narcotic distribution
center in the country was raided and
the principals are now on trial In
Philadelphia.
Harry Robinson, colored, was given
two years in the Eastern Penitentiary
at Baltimore on the charge of viola
tion of the Matin White Slave Act. It
is said he brought Bessie Loften,
aged 16. white, to Ilarrisburg from
her home in Winchester, Vu. He lived
with her in this city until u detective
found the girl's ivliereabouts.
Upon the request of Judge Wltmer,
the Jury brought a verdict of "not
guilty" against John H. Reinard, I'oijt
Treverton, charged with uttering
threats against the President. The
judge's charge stated there was no I
evidence showing the prisoner to be
guilty.
John William Matthey, Seranton, j
was given SIOO fine and a thirty-day i
sentence in Jail on the charge of mak- ;
ing false statements In his ques
tionnaire. Federal agents say that i
• when they raided his room In the j
Seranton Y. M. C. A. they found a j
quantity of liquor there.
William R. Leininger, Jonestown, |
was placed on SSOO bail to report to j
court a year hence on the charge of{
having stolen a letter from a mailbox. !
Norman Beekman, York, received a |
60-day sentence in jail on the charge j
of bootlegging. Frank Schwartz, :
Lebanon, was pluced on triul yes- ;
terday afternoon on the charge of .
making threats against the President. ;
The trial continued to-day.
Schwartz Pound Guilty
The jury brought in a verdict of ,
guilty in the case of Franz Schwartz, j
Lebanon, accused of making threats i
against the President. Sentence will J
be given later.
The trial of Arthur Harry Eppler, i
Forks township, Sullivan county, oc- I
curded the court's time during 1 lie
morning. It is charged that Eppler
tailed to register. The defense
brought testimony to the effect that
he was below the age limit and it
was the task of the government to
prove he was within draft age. This j
• •use will probably be concluded this !
afternoon.
VOLUNTEER DAYS
TO AID RED CROSS
[Coiltinned from First Page.]
these days Ilarrisburg men and wo
men may go to certain homes on j
their own city block, pay down their I
dollars and join the Red Cross.
This "volunteer" idea has spread
ill over Ihe state. It originated in
Ilarrisburg. Eagle-eyed Red Cross
workers in other cities came across
1 fie story in the Harrisburg papers,
the newspapers in other towns saw
;i good "story" in it, and as a re
tulf York, Johnstown, Pittston and
• fiber places are now going to have i
' volunteer" days in advance of tlie
week originally fixed for the Christ
mas rollcail, or membership cam
paign. This week is from Decem
ber 16 to December 23, but before
It opens the Harrisburg ciiapter reg
istration for the year 1919 is ex
pected to be larger than the pres
ent totul membership.
Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, chairman]
of the Harrisburg chapter, William
Jennings, chairman of the member
ship drive, and others prominent in
the Red Cross met this morning
and planned for 1 lie drive through
which it in hoped to make the chap
ter membership far over 100,000.
Xn Alorc Xloncy Drives
The last of the drives for funds
for the Red Cross has been held.
This announcement was made yes
terday by Chairman Henry P. Davi
son of tile Red Cross, who said that
henceforth the membership cam
paigns will be relied upon to keep
the Red Cross operating.
This means that the burden of
maintenance will lie distributed over
the population of the country. This
population is In excess of 100,000,-
000, so that $100,000,000 would be
ihe revenue If every man and woman
and child in the country wore u Red
Cross member. It would mean
that- 151,000 members would con
tribute their dollars to the Harris- I
burg chapter.
Volunteers llavc Started
There has been a steady stream
of "volunteer" Red Cross members
at headquarters. Third and Locust,
since it was opened. Mercer B.
Tate is in charge of the office. His
assistant is Mrs. Herbert E. Lucas,
well known not only as a Red Cross
worker, but as an actire participant
in Liberty Loan, Knights of Colum
bus, Y. M. C. A. and other war-work
campaigns.
Colonels to lie Named
Chairman Jennings some time
this afternoon will name the three
colonels who will direct the activi
ties of the 4,500 Red Cross workers
in the various wards of the city.
These colonels will hand down theih
orders to the ward majors, who in
turn will pass them to the precinct
captains, and the captains will "pass
the word" to the block lieutenants.
Each lieutenant may have as many
workers on her block as she wish
es.
Not Far From Home
Not only In the volunteer drive
next week, but in the big drive for
t.he week following, it will be pos
sible for persons who wish to Join
the Red Cross to do so without go
ing away from their own block.
On each of the over 400 blocks in
the city there will he a place desig
nated to receive Red Cross member
ships.

! JITNEYS SOON MAI
• LEAVE THE STREETS
j [Continued from First Pago.]
| few v.echa Intel', iraw tho jlin'eya nn-
I other opportunity for big business, j
I however, The Into Mayor E, S.;
Meals, through officers of tho pollco j
dpartmertt, issued an order permit- ,
ting Jitneys to run during the strike |
without paying for u I'.conso or filing
n bond.
Make Big Profits
Hundreds of machines crowded the
j street, and with only a few street
j car runnings—most of them on city
i lines—the Jitneurs made enormous :
j profits, many of them running their,
| automobiles from eai ly in the morn
j ing until late at night. Somo resl- ;
i dents In nearby towns and boroughs j
j used their machines to haul passen- j
! gors to the city also. Many com- I
i plaints of overcharging were hoard j
]at first, until final'y city officials or- <
| dered the jitney drivers lo charge I
only a 5-ccnt fare to carry persons to j
j any part of the city..
Eventually the railways companyj
succeeded in getting enough men to .
maintain schedules again and notified ;
city officials to that effect. The late
! Mayor Meals then ordered jitneurs i
off the streets unless they paid tho
required license tux and filed bonds.
A storm of protest by tho jitney driv
ers followed this order, but the
mayor would not revoke it, and once
more the "buses" decreased in num
ber.
Determined not to give up their j
] business, and also not to comply with j
i tho city ordinance rcgulatipg it, the
[drivers went before Council and I
tasked to have the measure amended.
The commissioners failed to comply
with the request, and the jitneurs,
through attorneys, prepared for a
referendum.
In the fall of 1916, the necessary]
j legal preparations having been made, I
j voters balloted on the question and j
I voted that the ordinance should be'
| amended. •
Force Amendment
j The measure as amended by the i
| voters required the jitneurs to pay aj
1 license? tax, but instead of filing a !
'surety bond, should give a personal [
| bond of SSO when they started to j
operate, and then pay $5 a month j
into the city treasuiy until a fund,
[of SI,OOO had been provided, which'
| should remain there as surety in case i
; any damage suit was started against
! a driver.
With this modification in the city

oped when the Public Service Com
j mission ruled that Jitneurs must file '
i certificates of public convenience
•showing the necessity for the jitney
' in the city in which they proposed to \
\ operate, and giving a route which ,
they would follow. j •
Before Commission
Counsel for the jitneurs and at- j
torneys for the Harrisburg Railways p
Company appeared before the com-/
mission at hearings until finally the | •
| state officials made a complete in-|'
vestigation of the street car service <
situation in the city, and then made
rulings concerning the jitneys and 1
also recommendations Tor improve- 1
merit of the trolley service.
These rulings of the commission,
including the former one requiring '
certificates of public convenience,
also restricted the operation of the j
jitneys to certain districts, stating ,
that the otlrcr sections of tho city | <
| were given adequate street car i;
I service.
! Efforts to have these rulings .
changed failed and the jitneurs faced 1
the possibility of prosecution for not <
complying. An appeal to the Su- :
perior court was filed and counsel i
for the drivers succeeded in having j
it made to act as a supersedeas, so |
that the commission could not en- j
force its ruling until the court made '
a decision.
The Last Cliaiico 1
It is understood, now, however. 1
that because of the expense of the '
proceeding, tho jitney drivers did not '
have their attorneys file the neces- 1
sary documents in court, and as a 1
result of not complying with court j'
rules the appeals weie dismissed. I'
Unless the drivers decide to appeal I
from tills order, or petition the court •
; to reconsider its action, it is believed | '
most of the jitneys will not be oper- |,
ated much longer.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
Ily Mrs. Wilson Woodrmv.
"The woman is a fool!"
That Is what nine out of ten
people would say, believing with
Jeremiah that the heart of man>
is deceitful above all things and
desperately, wicked. It is the dog
matic verdict of worldly wisdom.
But I wonder whether she is not
more astute than those who pitingly
shake their heads at her credulity.
Are the children of this world al
ways wiser in their generation than
the children of light?
Here is the story of the problem,
as I gather them fom the letter ske
has wrttten me—a very human let
ter and presenting not only an un
usual type of a wife, but a some
what different aspect to the familiar
"triangle." Is she wrong 111 coun
tenancing the attentions of her hus
band to another woman, she asks
me. Her friends all tell her she is
making a grave mistake.
She is a young woman and has
been married five years, she writes
me. Ah, that crucial fifth year of
matrimony, when the discords and
disagreements and misunderstand
ings always come to a head, and the
association either goes up with a
bang or else settles down to a peace
ful acceptance of the situation.
But, to continue with the narra
tive, there is also a baby, s lovely
child two years old, to whom she is
| devotedly attached and to whoso
j comfort and'that of her husband
jshe gives up air her time. One gets
.the irhpression of a home-loving,
!domestic sort of a woman, and of
a placid, well-ordered home.
if the dinner perhaps is of ncrbs,
be very sure it is well cooaeu and
neatly served, garnished with con
|tei!tment. She is-happy in her love
for her husband, and very sure of
his love for her. He shows it, she
says, in every way he can.
But an Eden must have its ser
pent. Where does it lift its threat
ening head in this tranquil environ
ment? The reader who is versed
in the thrills of the movies or of
iiction will not question long. Ah
—a strain of Jagged music—the
other woman!
But the "other woman" in this
case waywardly refuses to cast as a
sloe-eyed and sinous "vamp," a con
jventional wrecker of homes. She
;is a young girl, the wife says, whom
(both she and her husband knew be
|fore their marriage, and who since
| then has been an intimate visitor at
i the house, spending almost every
I evening there and keeping the wife
j company, as the husband's, business
often detains hint down town until
las late as eleven or twelve o'clock.
On the whole, she appears to be
a breezy, companionable person,
! good-humored, sensible and tact
j fully discreet, if occasionally she
i slops at the husband's place of
business when down town in the
evening and returns home wiiu mm,
she makes it a point always to have
another girl along.
The husband also poses poorly as
a deceiver and Don Juan. ■ There is
no camouflage about those late
hours he keeps. The character of
his business compels it, and his
evenings off he spends by preference
at home. Sometimes when detained
late he and this other girl will stop
somewhere and have supper to
gether, but he always informs his
wife of this in advance and secures
her assent.
So the affair has progressed, with
none of the three people involved
seeming to have questioned it in
any way or to have regarded it as
other than a pleasant and congenial
friendship shared mutually by the
husband and wife. "1 love her as
much as I would a sister," the wife
confesses; and although she knew
that her husband had been some
what attentive to the other girl be
fore his marriage, 110 thought of her
jealousy appears to have entered
head until it was i A planted there
by the suggestion of "friends."
The situation has ueeu 01 ought
to a focus over two theatre tickets
which were giveu to the husband.
He proposed that he and his wife
should use them, but as she did not
care to go, he then decided to take
the other girl. And now a chorus
of strenuous voices is being raised
to warn the blinded woman that if
she- consents to any such scandal
ous proceeding she will surely live
to rue it. "You will be sorry when
it is too late," she is told.
And so a woman's peace of mind
is disturbed, her confidence in her
husband and her dearest l'riend
possibly destroyed, and fhc happi
ness of her life endangered by the
evil imaginings of a lot of busy
bodies. That their poisonous coun
sel has already begun to work is
proven by the fact that she writes
to me. She should set iter foot
down hard, they tell her, and pott
a stop to the affair.
Rubbish! Piffle! Stuff and non
sense! No woman ever yet held a
husband by jealousy, by nagging,
by suspicion and distrust. Love be
gets love: confidence, confidence.
Doubt and jealousy begets unfaith
fulness, deception, a thousand ills.
This woman's own intuition should
be a surer guide to the iruiu man
all the ominous suggestions of these
so-called friends. She might be
blinded by affection in regard to her
husband, although I doubt it; but
nevr in regard to the other woman.
Yet, even granting that she is
blind, living in a fool's paradise,
isn't a fool's paradise better than
the hell of shattered illusions?
Before she listens to the sibilant
warnings of these acvlsers, let her
study the effect of their gospel
upon themselves. Has any of
them as happy a home as sne, as
devoted a husband, as true and
helpful a woman friend? They and
their whispered inuendoes are the
serpents that threaten her Eden,
not the "other woman."

King, Thinks Cousin

Ijotulon. Dec, 6. —What does King
George really think of his cousin,
William Hohenzoilern, former Ger

that has been often asked, but has
never received anything approach
ing an authoritative answer.
According to n writer in tho Dally

RED CROSS GETS
HEAVY ORDERS
More Than 4,000 Articles Must
Be Completed by Jan
uury First
For the first time in its history, the '
local chnpter of Red Cross wlil fail j
to complete the orders sent it from '
headquarters. The cause of tlie pres
cut failure is the diminishing number
of workers und the increased si/.e of
the orders sent it p> division head- j
quarters. The pre! Nt order colls
for more than four ihousnnd articles
to lie completed by the first of Junu-j
nry. The articles include 700 house-i
gowns, 180 pajamas, 200 children's
dresses, 100 pinafores. 100 layettes,
1,000 sweaters, 1,600 pail's socks, 50
special sweaters for Ited Cross nurses
300 bedside bags.. At the rate of
the present working and with the
present number of workers, this*
order eunnot he completed before the
middle of next summer, although the
goods is to be shipped the first of
January. Bceuuse of this condition
the of the local chnpter are
sending forth, urgent appeals to all
women of the borough and surround
ing territory to make all sacrifices
necessary in order that the articles
| may be completed and sent away on
I time. If this is to he done, hundreds
of women must help on the work.
I whereas at present the number of
I workers is pitifully small.
| The order for these goods states
| that inasmuch as a million and a half
| American so'dlers are to be kept
'abroad the entire winter, it is impcr
ntive that these goods tie shipped nt
I the earliest possible moment. Fall
ling in tills may mean suffering to the
j boys. Wool for the knitted articles
I can tie secured at the Red Cross
| rooms or from Mrs. W. E. Chick.
| Roy Shelly in Belgium
on the Way to Germany
! Private Roy Shelly, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Kirk Shelly, ambulance
| driver with the 226 th Regiment
! French Infantry, has written an In
| teresting letter to his friends in
j town. The letter is dated from Bel
gium, November 13;
"Bast evening the regiment, with
the aid of the regimental band, largo
quantities of unused Hares and sig
nal nights, and refreshments of vari
ous kinds, celebrated the victory.
It was some celebration.
"Douglas Beidel lias returned from
the hospital und is quite well
again.
"We had a terrible accident yes
terday. Shortly before noon mess,
j one of the hoys was taking a
! 'French 37' apart and the Shell ex
; ploded in his hands. His left hand
i was completely blown off, a piece
I pierced his skull and he received
| numerous wounds over his entire
i body. He will probably die. An
i other of the boys received two nasty
j wounds in Ills legs and left cheek.
I A third boy received a slight shoul
der wound. It is a mirncle that more
of us were not wounded or killed.
That certainly is the irony of fate,
going through sixteen months of
war without a scratch and then be
seriously wounded the day after war
is finished.
•'A report Is being circulated and
is supposed to be authentic that our
division is going through Belgium
into German territory. Every one
I is anxious to go into "Jiell Band,"
and all circumstances look as
I though we would get a glimpse of it
I before long."
