Steelton News J HOLD FOUR MEN ON SUSPICION Police Keep Three Men Picked Up Yesterday and Take Another Today I Of the fifteen negroes picked up 1 Wednesday by state police In cora ! pany with the local police and Chief ! Metaheiser of the steel force, three | are being held for further ir.vestlga- Ition. In addition to then-. Officer Wynn this morning brought to the station a negro nantcd Sam Watson on suspicion of being implicated in the shooting of F. W. Lerch,- of Highspire, Tuesday evening. The first three weer taken front Locust grove, and hail from various parts of the South. In the hut of one of thent a revolver was found after he had made the assertion that he had no gun. In the questioning thus far none of the three have been able to give satisfactory answers to their whereabouts at tlio time of the shooting, although they did try to show wheA they were after 9 o'clock. The shooting took place shortly after seven. Sam Watson, the negro taken this morning has a "bad sear on his left eheekvone as though he were hit a glancing blow with some instrument not unlike a hammer. It is recalled that Lereh said he struck at one of them with "a hammer. Watson will be held for investigation. The police have been handicapped in tljeir search for the guilty parties by the lac kof clues. It is known that several negroes were on the trolley car and left it at Highspire just a short time before the shooting. Others in Highspire saw three ne groes go in the direction of Board's barbershop, and just a few minutes ! before the shooting two negroes came to the hwrbersliip of Beard and I asked the way to the wholesale I liquor store. Beard himself is said to have told them the way, but thus far Beard has refused to come to the | Steelton lockup to make any attempt Ito identify the men now held, al though. he has been requested to do so several times by Chief Long enecker. The state police have Veen work ing steadily on the case and appear to be confident of catching the guilty men. Large Crowd.

SEWING CIRCLE MEETS lllaiii, Pa., Jan. 31.—The Ladies' Sewing Circle held tt.s weekly meet ing on Tuesda? evening at the home of Mrs. Edward D.. Lioycr. DAUPHIN COURT ENJOINS PHONE RATE JNCREASE Attorney General Scliaffer Presents Petition on Behalf of Slate The Daupliin county court yester day on petition of Attorney General Sehaffer issued a preliminary in junction restraining the Hell Tele phone .Company, of Pennsylvania, from charging the increased tele phone rates ordered by the Federal authorities. The hearing was fixed for next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. * The petition of the state authori ties, which was presented by the Attorney General in person and ac companied by nflldavits from Public Service Commissioners Ainey, Mc- Clure, Brecht, Alcorn and others, averred that the Hell company hud not complied with the provisions of the Public Service Company law which requires tiling of rates with the commission and declared that the fixing of rates is a stute matter entirely. Mr. Schpffer appeared as general counsel of the commission, Governor Sproul having requested him to act in the matter. Both Judges Kunkel and McCar rell were on the bench and just be fore Mr. Sehaffer presented the peti tion the new Attorney General and First Deputy Attorney General Rob ert S. Gawthrop and Deputy Attor neys General Emerson Collins, B. J. Myers and William L. Swoops were formally admitted to the Dauphin county bar on motion of Lieutenant Governor Beidleman. Deputy Har gest and Counsel Berne H. Evans, of the Public Service Commission, who are members of the Dauphin bar, were also present. The petition presented by Mr. Sehaffer required almost fifteen minutes to read. It set forth that the company is a Pennsylvania cor poration, organized and existing un der Pennsylvania laws; that it has been ordered to and, has tiled rates with the commission, among them a schedule effective June 21, 1917, which can not be changed or discon tinued by the company within three years without approval of the com mission. It is then, set forth what the company has done in the mat ter of the new rates, complained of by the state, which it is stated be came effective January 21. Declared to lie in Excess The Federal rates are declared in •excess of what the Bell was au thorized to chttrge by the state and the petition avers that the com pany in charging the rates complain ed of is acting in violation of orders of the commission and that the charges are illegal. "Neither the defendant, nor the postmaster general, acting through the officers and directors of the de fendant, is authorized by law to change the tolls and charges deter mined by said commission, except with approval of the commission." says the prayer, which declares that "the attempt to change said tolls and charges above set forth is an impairment of the lawful police regulations of this state, as ex pressed in the Public Service Com pany law." In the prayer it is asked that the company be enjoined from violating orders of the com mission and from charging or col lecting th'e new rates until the com pany applies to the commission for approval. In answer to some questions from the bench Mr. Sehaffer said the po lice. powers of the state were never delegated to the United States gov ernment by any action in connection with the telephone systems and' are in any event expressly reserved to the state. He said that he did not know where the Federal authorities got the right to increase the rates in this state and that the Bell was a Pennsylvania corporation. Judge MeCarrell asked if the gov ernment had not taken over the prop erty to which the Attorney General replied that it had not, but was su pervising and controlling it in the functions of managing director. "We will fix next Monday, Febru ary 3. at 2 o'clock as the time for the hearing." said Judge Kunkel The effect of the action is to re strai rfthe Bell from charging the new rates until the injunction pro ceedings is ended. The injunction may be either made permanent or dissolved. Lewistown Soldier Is Dead at Fort Sill, Okla. 1 cLwistown, Pa., Jan. 31. Bert ram Henry, son of William M. Hen ry.
