12 STATE SEEKS TO BRING NEIGHBOR INTO HIGH COURT Motions Filed in Supreme Tri bunal Asking Permission lo Sue West Virginia By Asmociatcd Press. Washington, May 3. Motions were filed in the Supreme Court to day by the States of Pennsylvania r.nd Ohio asking permission to in stitute original proceedings for the purpose of preventing the State of West Virginia from enforcing a State law enacted last February which would prevent natural gas from being transported outside the State until dome die needs had been salisfU d. Preliminary steps will be taken at Washington to-day by the Slate of Pennsylvania to carry out the intent of the legi '"live resolution authoriz ing the Attorney General to enter suit against the State of West Virginia on ground that its new law regulating dts i tribution of natural gas is discrimina tory against citizens of the Keystone State. Attorney General )) ". Schaffer has named A. l,eo Weil, an attorney of (Pittsburgh, to represen. this State when the motion for leave to file the suit is made in tin' Supreme court of the t'nited States at Washing ton. The motion will be to commence the proceedings under original pins diction of the nation's highest court and if such consent is given by the court the Commonwealth of 1 enns> 1- vania will ask an injunction to restrain the State of Pennsylvania from en forcing the act which is to become ef fective on May IT. It is understood here that the State of Ohio, which would he affected to an even greater extent than Pennsylvania, will also ask leave to sue in the Supreme Court to-morrow. Information reaching here is that ac tion at law is being considered by State authorities of Maryland. Kentucky and West Virginia. This will be the first time two states have ever proceeded at the same time and with the same object against an other and the question of natural re sources will loom large. Mr. Weil went over the plans with the Attorney General and left last night for Washington. He said that Hie ac tion was first to obtain leave lo ask for the injunction and then to press for a restraining order on the ground that relations between the states are involved and that West Virginia be directed not to enforce the act. Ihe Attorney said that the Supreme court had taken original jurisdiction in other suits between states. The resolution authorizing the suit set forth that tin act, passed in West Virginia to give residents and industries of that stale preference in supply of gas. involved immense investments by Pennsyltanians and Mr. Weil said that if the law was enforced, it would cost millions of dol lars to readjust heating appliances in Pennsylvania homes and industries anil suffering in charitable institutions as well as residences and other places where gas is extensively used as fuel. According to Mr. Weil a great part of Western Pennsylvania is a consumer of West Virginia gas. He estimated that thirty-five per cent, of the natural gas burned in this Stale is produced and piped from West Virginia and that the southwestern counties and districts as widely separated as Altoona and Gil City were supplied with gas from the fields in the neighboring state. The counties which the petition for leave to and will aver would be affected by the order are : Allegheny. Armstrong. Bea ver. Blair, Butler. Cambria, Clarion, Clearfield, Crawford. Fayette. Greene, Indiana. Jefferson. I.awrence, Mercer. McKean, Somerset, Venango, Warren and Westmoreland. Mr. Well estimated that 2.090,090 Pennsylvanians would be affected by enforcement of the order and that there would be 400.000 consumers inconveni enced aside from the industries. lie said that because of the act so many changes of appliances would have to lie .made that it would favor West .Virginia industries that some of them would al most become monopolies. U. S. Did Not Win the War, It Helped, Admiral Sims Says Philadelphia. May n. Philadel phia had a modest visitor yesterday. The average hero usually falls a victim to the insistent adoration of the public, but not so with Hear Ad miral William S. Sims, commander of the United States fleet in foreign waters during the European war. He arrived aboard President Wil son's private car at B.HO a. m. at Broad Street Station. His program for the day was really a whirlwind of engagements made for him by the Philadelphia committee of the Vivtory Liberty Loan campaign. The man who was entrusted with play ing the great role as head of the United States Navy in action was not a bit ruffled by the immense ovation that greeted him on all sides. He welcomed representatives from the newspapers in the private salon where President Wilson held many important conferences. It was none too impressive, this car, with only the usual appointments that go to make up a private Pullman coach. "Tell us about the American Navy's achievements," some one said. "We didn't win the whole war," the Admiral answered with a smile. "But. we did a lion's share of the work, didn't we. Admiral?" "No, said Admiral Sims, most posi tively. "We were only there to obey orders and it is a mistaken notion to think that way for we did only a small part in the war. When you consider that Great Britain had 5,000 ships as compared to our total of 380 boats jn action our part was nec essarily small. We had seventy five destroyers in foreign waters while Great Britain had 4,000." Curtiss Company Buys Government Planes; Were Used in War Ry Associated Press.

Colonel of d Mu^ Comn^IQner HARRISBURG BOYS ANXIOUS FOR NEWS [Continued from First Pbro.] get ready for some big doings for next week. At Camp Henry M. Gross Is en deavoring to arrange to send as many Harrisburg boys home together as possible. He is attached to Division Headquarters of the Twenty-Eighth in barracks near the One Hundred and Twelfth Regimental Headquart ers, and is in touch with the officers of the latter unit. Mny Come Home Together If it can be arranged the boys from the Capitol City in Companies D and I. Headquarters, Supply and One One Hundred and Ninth Machine Gun Battalion, will be sent together. Whether this can be done will not be known until orders are issued to the company commanders to prepare to leave camp for home. If the orders to the units in which there are Har risburgers follow in close order only a few hours apart, it is likely quite a number of the men can be kept here and sent back as a local unit. Otherwise they will get home in small detachments as the city is represent ed now in more than half a dozen outfits of the One Hundred and Twelfth. Harrisburg boys are to be found in probably a score of barracks in the big camp. Here and there are companies with only one or two who had been transferred from former Harrisburg units of the old Eighth Regiment. Other outfits have a half dozen or more. Many are in Head quarters, Supply and quite a few in the One Hundred and Ninth Machine Gun Companies. Ask About Reception When they heard that they were soon to get back home many asked whether they were to have a big parade and what plans the folks had made. Not that they're anxious to have a walk-around. Not these boys. "Nix on the parade stuff. Home for ours. If they want us to do it we'll have to, but I'm not keen for it," came from one of them. Others made similar remarks, indicating that they are not looking for a chance to strut around and play the hero. It's Just the opposite with them. The big majority would prefer to come to the city quietly, go to their homes with the relatives they have not seen for a year or more and get back to civilian life. They'll appreciate the neception they get, however, because they are only human, and that old home town will look almost too good to be true when they sight it again they say. Anxious About Home The boys are greatly interested in happenings in Harrisburg. Questions about the Capitol Bark extension, "Hardscrabble," the new State street bridge, the proposed city and county courthouse and office building, indus trial conditions and many other bits of information are asked by the men when they chat with any one from the Capitol City. There have been quite a few visitors to the camp already to see the men. and had the orders for demobilization been delayed un til next week, a big crowd would have been on hand on Sunday, accord ing to a number of local boys who expected relatives to come here. The Penn-Harris Hotel is talked about frequently as it was just be ing started when many of the Har risburg bov s were leaving for Camp Hancock. Quite a few have been ask ing about the big hotel and the man agement might make a big hit by having a day fixed for a special in spection for them. Inquiries about city and county officials and others prominent in city affairs, are made, too. They say heroes talk very little about themselves. One almost has to use a crowbar to pry anything loose from soipe of the boys and when they hear their names mentioned in connection with a bit of bravery or some daring stunt, you'll find tbey start for the other end of the room. Officers who had charge of the Har risburg boys are praised by all the boys. In Company I. Captain R. D. Jenkins and First Lieutenant Charles W. Thomas, both of Harrisburg. have the admiration and respect of every man in the unit. This company was formed when the Eighth and Sixteenth National Guard Regiments were merged to form the 112 th Infantry. The boys in the company who were in the old 16th are from Warren and the Harris burg men have some nice things to say about this western town, while the boys from out there aren't affraid to tell you that they turn out "real' soldiers" in Harrisburg. IValsc From Officers Both Captain Jenkins and Lieutenant Thomas, declare that theic men were al ways ready for service anywhere, al ways did their very best, never shirked, seldom complained, and as a result of courageous soldiery work always come out victorious. At present the hoys of this company are in barracks in Sixth street, just off New York avenue, in the camp, while the officers are at Second street and New York avenue. Company I> men and officers, with the First Battalion, are on the other side of the camp. The officers of this com pany are from the western part of the State, but some of the noncoms are from Harrisburg and they have plenty of praise for the men who fought with them. The First Battalion. Companies A, B, C and D, Infantry, together with Ma chine Gun and Supply units are billeted between Pennsylvania and Delaware avenues around 34th street. In the camp. In Company A, there are two Harris burg boys, Harry Nell. 434 Hummel street, and Alexander I<otz. 422 Reily, also Charles Livingston. Camp Hill. Judging from the way these hoys piled into mess this evening their folks need worry only about the larder when they get home, for they have some appetites. Company C boys have a warm spot for Harrisburg. as there are some local boys in that group, and then before the company left for overseas, Captain H. M. Stine, Dauphin County Commis sioner, was in command. "How is the captain?" "Give him our best." "Hope he's all right again," and similar re marks poured forth from the bunks of the men. These Harrisburgers and men from the vicinity have heen found with Com pany C: Reuben O. McClain, 910 Green street; Earl E. Fisher. New Cumber land ; F. T. Hoover, North Front; Sergeant Robert Storey, who by the way is a mighty popular fellow; Paul Barnhart, 2147 North Fourth; Frank .Branyan. 1762 Logan street: Clayton Durburow, Fulton street; Miles Howe, Wallace street: Lawrence Corlsh. Ira Killifer, West Falrvletf; James Moore, alias "Dinty" but not the "Dinty" of the Harrißburg Telegraph "Bringing up Father" cartoons; Emory A. Lindsey, and Dmitar Radavoich. of Steelton, a quiet Serbian, who is liked by his com rades. but he Isn't sure whether he will go back to the busy steel town Just be low the city. Chambersburg and Ship pensburg are well represented in this company, together with other towns in that valley. Captain Kriechbaum, Chambersburg, is in command, and to hear the boys in C billets talk, you'd think he was about as fine an army of ficer as the country could boast. MAY 3, 1919 ' PRETTY ROUGH" IN MILITARY POLICE With the Military Police of the Twenty-eighth Division there are four Harrisburgers, Sergeants Mc- Killips and Green and Privates Meisenhelder and William L. Windsor, 3rd, constable of the Fourth ward, Harrisburg. Colonel Maurice E. Finney, formerly com mander of the Eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard, is in command. The Harrisburg men in this outfit saw much ac tive service in keeping roads open, guarding bridges, taking re placements up to the front line through barrage and other dan gerous work. Colonel Finney in speaking of the service rendered by Harrisburgers declares that ' It was pretty rough sometimes for them, then again it was all right at times. I would say that it was about the hardest service that they could have been given." the boys in D. First Lieutenant Rippey T. Shearer, Carlisle, who has been trans ferred to G, is one of the commanding officers the boys from Harrisburg and Oil City in CompanyD, have some fine things to tell about. This offieeri the soldiers say. is one of the best and his work for them was a pleasure. Sergeant Ed. Bowers, who has a brother in the Supply company, made a record for himself leading patrols and raiding parties near the close of the war. "Ed" wasn't around when the other fellow told about hint, but when a man goes out two or three times a day under heavy fire with patrols and on raids, he just can't help it when the boys talk about him. "Ed" had been doing just that sort of thing and pretty often too and he came through without any serious mishap. At Fismes the first time the company was there he was given an important document to take back to brigade head quarters and went through sheet tire much of the time until he got the mes- sage through. William Miller, Company D, was wounded in the Argonne in some hard fighting and the boys think he deserves a citation and service cross. When the lieutenant in command of the platoon in which he was serving, was killed. Miller took charge, led the hoys on and silenced a machine gun nest. His mas terly handling of the nine under him and his cool, heady work, attracted every man with him, nnd they are still talking about it.

MANY A HEROIC DEED PERFORMED [Continued from First Page.] | was the first time they had met in I many months and the two boys had a | long chat about old time and friends. ; Sergeant McAllister deserves much credit for his work in front lino duty other members of the company say. Ho is like the other heroes of the Keystone State. —very quiet when his name is mentioned in connection with any un usual act. Sergeant Wilbur N. Potter, 63 4 Reily street, in service for three years, waa wounded at Fismette while in action. "Dutcli" Wins Honors Two engagements in which Com pany 1 men participated and about which little has been said until now occurred July 6 to 13 around llill 204 when the first platoon of tho company went to that point and held the line under most adverse I conditions. Again at Hill 244 Oc | toher 6, Raymond H .Bernheisel, j 1222 Market street, Harrisburg, bet ter known as "Dutch" won honors I as second in command of the entire company, Captain R. D. Jenkins was in a training school at tho time and Lieutenant Thomas was in the hos j pital. First Sergeant Frank J. Soh- I mocker, Warren, was in command and "Dutch" was second. Later | Bernheisel did some good work in J raids November 2 and 4 bringing !in a bunch of Hun prisoners and ithen he was advanced from corporal I to sergeant. I "Dutch" got a new gun November 12, some of the other noncoms say, and he just did things up in general from that time on when he went out on raids. Jokingly they say that if the war had lasted about a j month longer '.Dutch" would have brought in about three regiments in I small bunches. I Sergeant William H. Bernheisel, ; of the Supply company 111 th Regi ment, is "Dutch" Rernheisel's father, | and is at Camp Dix also, j Bertram Bringhurst, 125 Pino street, called the "silent man" of jt he company, was gassed at Death j Valley but managed to keep on tho ! march and wouldn't go lunrk to a j hospital. Ralph Somerton, William Paris, both of Warren, and Daniel Kinsey, Middletown, were with him at the time. I Sergeant Lawrence A. Pirkell, 246 West Main street, Middletown, in a I raid in the Argonne killed six boehe and aided in capturing others in that sector. His daring and efficient work has given him a place of honor in the company. When Itaiighnian Made Good In Company D barracks they tell j about how Private Ralph Baugh i man, North Sixth street, Harrisburg, | made good with tho boys. During ja lull he started for the company (camp on a water wagon. While | crossing a field "Jerry" got busy with a barrage that sent the driver of the wagon scurrying to cover. I Baughman stuck on the wagon, kept j on driving and got the water to the company. I Luther McLaughlin in addition to | lighting helped along in amusing tho j boys who now call him "the silver i toned tenor." I,other sang for them j very often together with a few others | among them Benjamin F. Foose, 213 IChestnut street. Benjamin 11. Coyle put one over lon tho hoys last year while they I were still at Hancock. Ben is ail right, the fellows say, but he tried his hand at potpie, and since then they tell him to stay out of the kit chen. I The boys are doing lots of talk ing about the splendid work of the various organizations abroad, in | eluding the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, and other !similar ones, but it seems the Sal ivation Army has them talking the | most. At least it sounds that way j around Companies D and I billets. | "Right up in the thick of it with its handing out doughnuts," one of | the boys said. "My hat's off to tho Salvation Army and you can tell the folks in advance that we're sure go ing to boost that crowd when we j get home. How ahout it fellows?" j A chorus of assent came from lit itle groups who had heard the ro- I marks. "I never paid much atten : tion to that organization before I j got in the army," another said, "But jthey were 'there' all the time over seas with us and there wasn't any thing they wouldn't do to help a Yank."
