Jacob Ruhl. aged 72 years, died at Elm, Lancaster countv, last night from a complica tion of diseases. For forty-two years he was a member of the Church of the Brethren. Four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grand -1 children survive. He retired from ac tive life four years ago, being one of tlio leading business men of his sec ! tion. i Paul Furman Is Back From Big Tire Center P. H. Furman, manager of the Sterling Auto Tire Co., the Harris burg distributing branch for Miller Uniform Tires, has just returned from a visit to Akron, Ohio, the rubber center of the world. He went to get first-hand information concerning conditions as they exist in the tiro industry and he came back brimming over with optimism concerning tire prospects for 1919. "There is no question about the demand for tires—it is going to even surpass the most enthusiastic anticipations," said Furman. "It took a world war to demonstrate, beyond contradiction, that the auto mobile is an indispensable factor in everyday life. With the demonstra tion of this fact, the approach of peace has set the whole nation agog for newer and better roads to an extent never reached in the past. State after State is adding to its good roads appropriation. The en thusiasm shown for highway devel opment is apparent everywhere. "All of which means demand for more automobiles. Where there are motor cars there must be tires. There will be more cars this year than in previous years, hence-the terrific strain on tire-manufacturing resources. "An actual shortage in tires ex ists to-day. But it is not due simply to the fact that consumers are now buying tires for new cars and renewing old tires. It is be cause the production of tires wus almost nil, compared with the de mand for tires, during the last six months of 1918. While the cut in production was in effect, back orders were piling higher and higher. The result was that the tire manufactur ers not only faced a flood of new or ders, but millions of dollars' worth of back orders had to be gotten out with all possible speed. "To make bad matters worse, a serous shortage of labor resulted in Akron for several weeks after the opening of the year, but returning soldiers are rapidly filling the de pleted ranks of tire builders and the manufacturers are really beginning to catch up with the demand." Furman spent considerable of his time, while in Akron, in the tire de partment of the big Miller factory- He declares that he always finds something new and more interesting every time he visits the plant. "The thing that impressed mo most," he said upon his return to Harrisburg, "was the remarkable success that Afiller has attained with its policy of uniform workmanship. The first to actually undertake the manufacture of uniform mileage tires —the result of uniform work manship— the company has demon strated beyond question, the wisdom of that policy. It can be said truth fully that every Miller tire is strictly up to standard. If ever one of them comes back because of poor work manship or improper construction, the man who built it is penalized. The Miller tire builders are just as proud of their success as are the sharpshooters in the Navy proud of their skill in marksmanship. "Consequently, there is no hasty, slip-shod work in the Miller plant. Uniform workmanship governs the making of every tire. The result is that the tires wear alike under like conditions." Furman was particularly enthusi astic over the performance of Miller Cords. "The Miller Cord is the first tire in the world to combine uniform mileage with the geared-to-the-road tread," he continued. "The combi nation has worked wonders in the tire world and made Miller tires far exceed what once were popular guar antees. From the Miller standpoint, the best part of the whole situation is the fact that no other company can take on these combined fea tures. The Geared-to-the-road tread is a patented Miller article and no SPECIAL BARGAINS 15% off on Tires We have on hand a limited number of Diamond Fabric Tires in the following sizes: 34x 4 J>2 which we are selling at 15 per cent, reduction free of war tax.

Embezzlement Suit by Powell Evans Against W. S. Leib in Tax Case Pottsville, Pa., May 3.—Suit was brought yesterday against County Commissioner W. S. Leib, charging him with embezzling funds given by Powell Evans, of Philadelphia, to pay State taxes on Sghuylkill Elec tric Railway. The original deficiency, $25,000, was reduced to $17,000 by payments by Leib last week when suit was threatened. Leib's attorneys say securities were deposited with Evans to cover the entire amount, but this has not pre vented action. It was on this trans action that it is alleged the name of John Fertig, former Pottsville law yer, now a departmental chief at Ilarrisburg, was forged. Bail was fixed at $5,000. The suit was brought before Al derman McCool, of this city, who denied knowledge of the case. The suit follows action by Attorney Gen eral Schaffer, charging eibL with forgery. Leib's arrest followed ten days' strenuous efforts to locate him by writ servers, according to Powell Evans, who last night said the in ability of the officers finally aroused suspicion that their search was not very exhaustive. Finally dispairing of serving the warrant. Thomas Rey burn White, of Philadelphia, coun sel, and James D. Evans, vice-presi dent of the Schuylkill Electric Com pany, journeyed to Pottsville and personally served the warrant. Mr. White last night promised a state ment to-day covering the charges against Leib in detail. Sergeant J. A. Vernon Is Home From France I Sergeant John A.
