TUESDAY EVENING,
MASONS HEAR WARNING
AGAINST BOLSHEVISM
Men Prominent in Civic and Fraternal Circles Take Part in
19th Annual Banquet of Robert Burns Lodge;
Governor Sproul Principal Speaker
A note of warning against the
perils of Bolshevism was sounded by
Governor William C. Sproul in an
address at the forty-ninth anniver
sary of Robert Burns Lodge, No.
464, P. & A. M held in the Masonic
Temple last night. He urged pre
paredness on the part of the Com
monwealth to meet the great dan
ger o civilization and advised the
people of the state to be ready.
"It seems to me that the world
faces the condition of a man who
has penetrated a miasmatic swamp
and slain a demon," the Governor
said. "He returns, but is inoculated,
infected with the fever. I have no
doubt of the ability of the American
people to handle this problem, but
I am fearful that they may become
too careless.
"About twenty per cent, of the
Europeans who como here and
whose ideas do not quite harmonize
with our own settle in Pennsylvania,
but somehow wo make them under
stand that they are not brough
hero to be exploited but to be cher
ished. But, despite that, some things
are going on in Pennsylvania which
may causo trouble if not kept in
hand." He intimated plainly that
those seeking trouble would not find
Pennsylvania unprepared.
Ijodge Session
The anniversary celebration open
ed with a session of the lodge. The
Masonic Quartet, composed of John
P. Gibson, William P. Sehraedley,
Emory R. Miller and Prank 8. Bea
lor, sang. Captain George F. Lumb
delivered the address of welcome, in
the absence of Dr. J. Bradley Mark
ward, who was scheduled to speak.
Prank R. Leib was marshal and
Captain George F. Lumb, Past Mas
ter, assistant marshal, at the clos
ing of the ceremonial lodge session.
Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of
Grace Methodist Church, offered the
invocation at the banquet. The
toastmaklng followed.
John Plicklnger, Worshipful Mas
ter, offered a toast to the Right
Worshipful Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania; William Jennings, Senior
Warden, to the memory of George
Washington . I. Blrkitt Dickinson.
Junior Warden, to Freemasonry
around the globe, and the Worship
ful Master, to the memory of Rob
ert Burns. William 8. Snyder, Dis
trict Deputy Grand Master, acted as
toastmaster.
I Governor Sproul talked on "Ma
sonry and the State." The Rev. Dr.
Luther DeYoe, a former Harrisburg
pastor, spoke on "Free Masonry and
the Social Order," and Dr. Edgar
Fahs Smith, of the University of
Pennsylvania, on "Masonic Influ
ence." The banquet room was most
attractively decorated for the occa
sion. Through the decorator's art,
it was transformed into a gorgeous
oriental picture. Behind the speak
ers' table was a background of scen
ery such as Maxfleld Parrish might
have painted. Urns with invisible
lights supplied the Illumination.
Above the heads of the banqueters
were hanging lights with a brilliant
cluster of small incandescents
around each. It was commented
that the decorations we're among the
finest ever shown in the city. The
chandeliers were covered with
sprays of green and trellis support
ed vines of sweet jjeas and other
flowers.

Susquehanna Navigation
to Be Discussed at Big
Meeting in Columbia
Arrangements have been completed
for the big mass meeting to be held
in the High School Auditorium, Co
lumbia. on Wednesday evening to dis
cuss the subject of Susquehanna navi
gation. The speaker will be J. Hamp
ton Moore, of Philadelphia, who is
president of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association, and who has
been an ardent advocate of inland
waterways ever since he has been in
Congress. Congressman E. S. Brooks,
of York, will also be in attendance, as
will Major William B. Gray, an engi
neer in the United States Army.
While the survey for this river has
been nuthorized by Congress and the
item for the expense included In th
rivers and hnrbors bill, it is deemed
advisable to keep up the agitation so
thßt all the towns in the Susquehanna
valley will enter into the project and
co-operation in the movement. Ex
perts have declared that the river
can be made navigable and that be
ing the case, it is up to the people of
the section which It penetrates to ex
ert themselves to further the proposi
tion.
Columbia lias a committee operat
ing under the auspices of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Associa
tion, of which J. H. Ostertag is chair
man. and invitations have been sent
to all the commercial bodies In near
by cities, and they will send delega- I
tiona to help boost the matter.
HAHRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH
RUES $23.26 SPENT
ON GIRL IN ONE
YEAR'S COURTING
Aged Suitor Balks at "Two
Mats on One Hook" at
Sweetheart's Home
Waynesboro, Pa., April I.—The
most unique case brought before a
Washington county, Md., court in
many years has been dismissed by
Justice John W. Ferguson, of Smiths
burg.
Jesse M. Harden, aged 72, a promi
nent coal dealer of Highfleld, in the
Bluo Ridgr; mountain resort region,
and a former resident of Baltimore,
failed to put in appearance at the
appointed hour for the trial of his
suit against Miss Sophia Schneider,
a pretty young woman yet in her
twenties, of Highfleld, for the re
covery of $23.36 representing the
amount spent for presents during
his courtship of one year.
Miss Schneider, about one month
ago, after an ardent courtship on
the part of her aged suitor, broke
her engagement and returned the en
gagement ring to the widower of lit
tle more than two years. A bill for
the recovery of the money and the
farewell letter of Harden to Miss
Schneider were the interesting ex
hibit in the suit. A quart of oysters,
a bushel and one-half of apples, a
pound of butter, half dozen herring
and vanilla extracts are among the
presents enumerated in the bill. A
suit for $3.50 was tiled against Miss
Bertha Schneider, young sister of the
defendant in the other suit, for two
victrola records and a quart of wine.
Courtroom Crowded
The little court room at Smithsburg
was crowded to tlio doors and hun
dreds were compelled to stand out
side in the cold, windy weather to
hear the ease. After waiting an hour,
Justice Ferguson called the name of
the aged plaintiff and was informed
that Mr. Harden would not be pres
ent. The case was thereupon dis
missed and many curious persons,
with faces showing utter disappoint
ment. wended their way homeward.
The letter written by Harden as a
farewell, and which was on exhibit
in the case, was as follows:
Dear Miss Sophia:—
"Blue Ridge Summit,
February 24, 1919.
"This is my last letter to you and
T am bidding you a last and sad
I farewell, flood-by, and I will forgive
you for the wrong done me, for I
believe you was driven to do what
you did, and for bringing to me, 1
might say, the most sorrowful time
and giving to me the most sorrowful
heart of my life. I am glad that
during my visits to your house I was
of little expense to you, as I can
only recall of eating one dinner and
two suppers. And now, upon bidding
you a final farewell, I am happy to
know thnt you can't but say I always
acted a gentleman in your company.
"But, oh! Those Judas kisses. Wo
man, Oh! Woman! It has been told
to me a woman can lead a man
anywhere she chooses. I now be
lieve it. for you have led me to the
precipice, and down I went among
the rough and rugged rocks of de
spair and grief to moan and groan
—over what? What a foolish man
I was to be led by a woman! It
appears to me you do not want or
wish to write to me any more, as
you do not answer any of my several
letters to you, of which I have copies.
The cause I cannot tell, without you
are afraid of writing convicting
statements.
"Yours of the 1—23 to me, also the
returned engagement ring, with the
inscription inside, is all the convict
ing evidence I need for an action in
court for a breach of promise to
rrarry, also against Hilda and Bertha
for alienlation of your affections. I
have already been legally advised
that such action is in accordance with
the laws of Maryland, and I have
engaged counsel. This has all been
brought on by the indifference to
me by yourself, for which I am very
sorry. So you see as I wrote you in
mine of the 2—13, first page. He
(speaking of God) will bring us to
gether again. But I did think it
would be in a courtroom. As I can
see it, this is the only means of seek
ing Indemnity or reparation for the
damage you have done me. As a
matter of fact, such proceedings will
cost me, perhaps, a couple hundred
dollars, but I do not mind that, as I
now only have myself to maintain.
I am enclosing a statement of your
account with me, nlso Bertha's. I
feel from the treatment accorded me
you are not deserving or entitled to
as much as the worth of a pin. I
will expect this adjustment made
within ten days.
Respectfully,
J. M. HARDEN."

Miss Schneideb, the pretty young

"Things moved along smoothly," !
she said, "until one night some prac- >

Which resulted in the breaking of the I
engagement. Anothcb widower, liv- I
ing near Highfleld. was persuaded to
give me a 'rush.' One night he mine :
to call and during the evening Hard- j

the hat of the stranger on the hall i
rack. He became angered and calling !
me out, said: 'Miss Sophia, two hats |
cannot hang on one pin.' He, there
fore, left the house. The broken |
engagement followed."
Several letters passed between the j

ship. Many of theso were returned •
to the amount of $32.19. which left a
balance of $23.36, which Miss Schneid
er told him she would return, but
