10 HAWKER GIVEN BIG RECEPTION BY LONDONERS His Plucky Little Wife Gets Great Ovation at Rail road Station London, May 28.—Harry G. Hawk er and Lieutenant Commander iMackenzie Grieve were given a re markable reception on their arrival in London last night from Northern Scotland, where they were landed iMpnday morning after their unsuc cessful attempt to fly across the At lantic ocean from Newfoundland to llreland in an airplane. Such enthusiasm as was shown in the greetings of the two Intrepid (airmen, for whose safety after they Ihad failed to arrive at their desti 'nation on scheduled time the world had been Tearful, probably never has Ibeen exceded, except in the times of coronations. A foretaste of the great welcome ; that the aviators were to receive i came during the afternoon when i Mrs. Hawker went to the railway station to proceed to Granthan to meet her husband. Tho throng about the station loudly cheered the plucky little woman, who never | gave up confidence that her hus . band ultimately would be rescued, (•even though the hours he was over due grew into days and finally 'reached a week. Arriving in London, headed by an Austrian band and a body of Aus : traliau troops and a large number i of automobiles, Hawker and Grieve passed through the densely packed ■streets on the way to the Aero Club. Another delegation in the parade, which was accompanied by a band, was composed of workers from the Sopwith works, where the machine in which Hawker and Grieve at tempted to span the ocean was con "structcd. The first official welcome was ac t-corded the airmen on the station at ! St. Pancras by the Mayor of that borough, but still another was given 1 them inside the Aero Club building. After the ceremony at the Aero Club the aviators were entertained by the Sopwith workers. Like Mrs. Hawker, Mr. and Mrs. Grieve proceeded up the line and met their son and bade him wel come and congratulated him on his rescue before he reached London. Asked whether he would make another attempt to fly across the Atlantic Hawker said last night: "I don't know. It depends upon the Sopwith firm."

KOREAN PEOPLE GO WILD OVER JAPANESE RULE Become Reckless Through Cruel Military Law lessness Peking, May 28.—Conditions in Korea resulting from the independ ence movement there where the Ko reans are endeavoring to shake off the rule of Japan, are becoming worse, according to the Rev. Edward W. Thwing, Oriental secretary of the International Reform Bureau, who has just returned from Korea. "The Koreans began the inde pendence movement with the Inten tion of using only peaceful methods," the Rev. Thwing told the Associated Press correspondent, "but the Jap anese soldiers have so treated them and stirred them up that they are now wild and reckless. No one can tell what will come next. Seeds of hate and future trouble are being widely sown. Christians often suf fer most. I have visited several places in Korea during the uprising and everywhere it is the same kind of cruel military lawlessness. One Korean Christian pastor said: 'We cannot stand it. They beat us like pigs and cattle; and we are men.' "The Japanese are always trying to discover supposed plots and con spiracies," continued the Rev. Mr. Thwing. "They even claim to be lieve that the missionaries started the revolution. They try to get Korean spies to go into the houses of foreigners. They search the houses of American missionaries, looking for no one knows what. In a town that I recently visited, we were shadowed by a Korean who was described to me by a missionary as 'the cleverest spy in town.' "The Koreans hate these men. Of course, being spies, they have to bring information and when they can find none they often manufac ture it. Many have been arrested who had no connection with the af fair and have been cruelly beaten. At the police station they often beat the men before any trial on the gen eral principle that it is a good thing I for every Korean to taste the power of Japan." Ascension Day Services in Catholic Churches Special services will be held to morrow, Acsension Day, in the Catholic churches of the city as fol lows: Cathedral, low masses at 6.30 and 7 a. m., high mass at 9 a. m., In the evening at 7.30 the reception of Blessed Virgin Mary's Sodality will be held, the Rev.

Buenos Aires, May 28.—Spider webs are working havoc with cable communication between the United States and Argentine, Brazil and parts of Chile, as well as paralysing interior telegraphic routes. The ground spider spins a heavy web, which the wind sometimes wraps around the wires. These masses become very damp during a humid spell and short circuits are thus caused. Large forces of linemen are following the wires across the pampas and the mountains to night, removing the accumula tions. Knights of Columbus Thanked by Pershing For Work With Army A letter from General Pershing, received by William J. Mulligan, Chairman of Knights of Columbus War Activities, expressed in warm terms appreciation for what the Knights of Columbus have done for the American Army abroad, before and since the armistice was signed. General Pershing, in his letter said; "I wish to express through you to the Knights of Columbus my appre ciation and that of the officers and men under "my command for the valuable services rendered by your organization to the American Ex peditionary Forces," wrote General Pershing. "The active work of your organi zation in France began early in 1918, was well under way by the spring of that year, and has been increasing in scope ever since. Before the ces sation of hostilities its workers were attachd to many of the combat di visions and recreation huts had been opened in the principal American concentration centers. Numerous commanding officers have commend ed the devotion to duty of your per sonnel, and have testified to their popularity and helpfulness among the troops whom they served. "During the armistice, it has been particularly active in the promotion of athletics, a most valuable factor for health and contentment. It has also contributed to the success of the Army entertainment program by numerous appropriations for musical Instruments and equipment of sol dier shows, has increased its general recreational activities, helping ma terially to maintain the morale of the Army during the inevitable peri od of waiting to go home. "I thank you, and each individual worker in your organization, for your valuable assistance."

MONTGOMERY CELEBRATES HIS 85TH BIRTHDAY One of City's Oldest Business men Receives Many Congratulations wg| IISKab- JOSEPH MONTGOMERY Saturday was the eighty-fifth birth day anniversary of Joseph Montgom ery, one of Harrisburg's oldest busi ness men and volunteer firemen, and in the evening, a delegation of mem bers of the Citizen Fire Company No. 3, called at the home, 227 State street, to congratulate their oldest and most esteemed veteran member. They went to the Montgomery home with their chemical truck and steam fire engine and took with them a oox of Mr. Montgomery's favorite cigars. The committee, headed by President Charles P. Meek, consisted of Dr. William E. Vallerchamp, Frank Fa gan, James Brady, Robert Wilson, Charles Slex and others. The visit was a surprise to Mr. Montgomery, and he gave his fellow members a hearty welcome. President MeCk presented the veteran fireman with the box of cigars as a testimonial from the Citizen Company, and the viaitors remained there for some time, while Mr. Montgomery talked of the work of this old volunteer fire organization with which he had been actively connected from the time of the hand engine, hand-pulled, on to the apparatus drawn by horses and now to the up-to-date motor-driven engine and chemical. Mr. Montgomery joined the Citizen Fire Company February 1, 1850, when he was sixteen years old, and has been a member more than sixty-nine years. When first admitted to the company membership he was one of the "torch carriers," a position usu ally filled by the youngest members. Mr. Montgomery was elected first assistant engineer of the Harrisburg Fire Department in 1868, when the department wa s first organized, and the next year he was re-elected for the full term. On the evening of February 17, 1868, Mr. Montgomery was seriously injured at a fire at the hardware store of Anthony King, a: the corner of Third and Market streets, where the Kunkei Building now stands. An explosion of benzine or oil took place in the cellar of the store, wrecking the building. Twenty firemen, in cluding Mr. Montgomery, were hurt. Three of them were members of the Citizen, ten of the Washington, six of the Friendship and one of the Hope. Mr. Montgomery at that time was president of the Citizen Company, and his injuries were the most serious, disabling him for several weeks. Joseph Montgomery, a son of James and Sarah A. (Peipher) Montgomery, was born in Harrisburg, May 24, 1834. He was-educated In the public schools of his native, city and in his boyhood entered the employ of the Peipher Fast Freight Line, with which he remained until his retire ment from active work a few years ago, although he is still the senior member and president of Montgom ery and Company. KNIGHTS OF MAI/TA i CONFER DEGREES The full Malta degree was con ferred last night on a number of candidates. The meeting was held in G. A. R. hall. Third street, and was attended by many Knights of Malta members from this city and vicinity. Plans were announced last night for a reception to Maltas who re cently returned from war duty. An Interesting program Is being ar ranged. The reception will be held Tuesday night SCHOOL TAX MAY GOTO 141-2 MILLS WITH NEW YEAR Bbard Not Assured Thirteen and One-Half Mills Is \ Sufficient Raising the tax rate from 11 1-2 to 13 1-2 mills the city school board yesterday afternoon by a vote of seven to two, approved the budget for the 1919-1920 season and pro vided revenue to meet it and to pay the deficit of $55,000 which will ex ist at the close of the present school year. \ Director John F. Dapp during the special board meeting yesterday aft ernoon predicted that next year the board would in ail probability face the necessity of another millage in crease of at least one mill, provided the present program of schooi de velopment is carried out. Only Al'ny Out Dr. F. E. Downes also told the di rectors that because of the incon venience and difficulty in arranging schedules for teachers at the Cen tral High school for the double ses sions, a force of instructors must be maintained there, which is about one-third larger than would bo needed in a new high school with only one session. Directors George A. Werner and Dr. C. E. L. Keen were the only two opposing the tax increase. Both declared they were in accord with every expenditure provided in the budget, but did not favor a two-mill jump in the tax charge. Dr. Keen attempted to have the rate fixed at 12 1-2 mills, one mill higher than at present, and Director Werner op posed any increase, urging the board to continue to operate under the present rate and accumulate a de ficit of about $115,000, to bo met next year. He suggested the sale of property at Third and Harris streets and the present continuation school, this money to be used for general ex penses. Other officials of the board declared that the,y_ could not legally use funds from the sale of the prop erties for general maintenance. Want No Reduction At the opening of the session a letter from the Chamber of Com merce urging the Board not to reduce the appropriation for community center work was read by Secretary D. D. Hammelbaugh. As soon as the budget was men tioned, Director Dapp said that by cafreful investment of the school dis trict funds they would earn $12,000 interest in a year, % instead of $5,000, the amount listed in estimated rev enue for next. year. A lengthy dis cussion followed in which the ma jority of the members participated and it was finally decided to take action at the. next regular meeting. Director Werner commended the committee in preparing the complete budget this year, but declared the deficit should certainly be carried over until conditions are "more set tled" predicting they will be next year. Poor Business It was evident by the time Mr. Werner stopped speaking that a sufficient majority of the directors favored a two-mill increase so that there would be no deficiency next year.

The ticking of a watch I can be amplified until it sounds like breakers on an ocean cliff. 'lt's no trick at all to magnify sound four or live million times, or indefinitely," said Tom I-ambert, a wireless telephone engineer, to-day. "All that is needful is to connect a cumber of vaceum valves In multi ple with a wireless receiving set, and the thing is done. At the first re ceiving contact a voice will be nor mal. Cut in one vaceum valve and it is raised seven times; therefore it squares itself—seven times seven to forty-nine for the next vacuum valve, ar.'d forty-nine times forty-nine for the next, and so on., "I mean volume of sound, not power of transmission," explained Eambert, 'ln a test recently a phono graph was connected with an ampli fier at midnight, a red we were lift ing; it up gradually to supply all San Francisco with song and amusement when the police urged us to desist "In the stadium at Golden Gate Park the ticking of a watch was made audible all over the grand stand while an athletic meet was in progress.

A wireless station which I am not permitted to name recently received W. Frank Witman remarked they considered it poor business to carry over a deficit. Mr. Werner then made the sug gestion to sell the Reily street plot i and continuation school, but the i other members took no action other j than to remark that such a proced- | ur.e would not be legal if the money ! weri to be used for general expenses, j "I know It Is always an unpopular j move to increase a tax rate, but in i this case it has to be done, as we i can't do with less money. In order to bring this question to a head I ! will move that the rate be made! 13% mills," Director Dapp said at! the close of the discussion about sell- ; ing school property. Keen Rpenks Several members seconded, but Mr. j Baer was recorded as doing so. Dr. ■ Keen then moved to amend the mo- \ tion and make the rate 12% mils. Mr. Dapp said he would second the umendment motion in order to get It before the Board for a vote, but also stated he would not vote for the 12% mill rate. Dr. Keen then made a statement in which he praised President Enders and Dr. F. E. Downos, city superin tendent, but condemned the entire j Board as being responsible for the i vast increases. He mentioned tax rates and teachers' salaries in other cities in the Slate comparing them ! with Harrisburg. Dr. Downos explained that the rea- i son the rute could be lower in a | number of these cities was becauso | of the big parochial school enroll- I ment, in many instances much high- j er than in Harrisburg. t'ontlnuing his statement Dr. Keen predicted a rate of 14% mills next yeur if the Board continued to spend money at the present rate. Director Dapp at once replied that if the' Board curried out the program now ; under way an increase of one mill j next year might be necessary. Dr. Keen was the only one to vote for the amendment to make the rate ' 12% mills, the other eight members MAY 28, 1919 a telephone message from Europe, and through its ampllti r startled duck hunters in the mai hes eight miles away."

Consideration of Bills Out of Order Stopped Chairman Ramsey, of the House rules committee, to-day served no tice on members of the House that he would object to consideration of bills out of order. Mr. Mallery, Venango, had moved to bring up a bill far down on the list. "I object," said Mr. Ramsey. "This would establish a had prece dent. I think that we should ad here to the calendar order unless the bills are revenue measures or something like that." Consideration of several bills on the first reading calendar of the House was prevented to-day because they were not on the flies. When the bills were reached Mr. Cox, j Philadelphia, raised objections, j which were sustained.
