Businessmen Hear of
Troubles Experienced in
Handling Express Parcels
Harrisburg's humidity failed to cur
tail the attendance at the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon at the Fenn-
Harris at noon to-day. A large turn
out gathered to hear E. V. Conwell,
! of New York City, general attorney
for the American Railway Express
Company, which comprises as a war
time consolidation the leading ex
press companies of the country, the
Adams, American, M'ells-Fargo and
Southern, discuss the ins and outs,
the trials and tribulations of the ex
press business from the companies'
standpoint
The highlights of the talk develop
ed numerous interesting things about
the express business in America with
which the average citizen is unfa
miliar. Mr. Conwell touched upon
the efforts which the companies
havebeen making to anticipate and
prevent trouble and annoyance to
the public in the matter of lost bag
gage and packages, improperly
marked and poorly wrapped parcels,
and the elimination of claims against
the companies by which the private
individual seeks to recover -.he lost,
strayed or stolen articles.
"Many a weekend trip, business
trip, and honeymoon has been spoiled
by carelessness in the matter of
marking baggage," said Mr. Conwell.
"Eighteen thousand pieces of person
al baggage per year find their way
into the 'No Mark Bureaus,' which
the companies maintain throughout
the country as storage houses for
shipments whose addresses have been
wrongly or poorly mraked, or pbtit
erated through rubbing. This causes
not only great expense to the com
pany, but untold suffering and in
convenience to the owners, and couid
be avoided with a little forethough
and care."
Mr. Conwell has been touring the
counrty and addressing Chambers of
Commerce and other bodies in an
effort to educate the public up to the
point of co-operation in a campaign
for better service in a matter which
Interests every single individual. To
show the necessity for greater care
in the matter of preparing articles
i for shipment, he mentioned ths.t in
five months following the consoli
dation of the various express com
panies, 127,859 shipments, carelessly
marked, found their way into the
nineteen "No Mark Bureaus," and
had to be sold for junk. He declared
that thousands of dollars in losses
are borne by the public annually,
over and above the receipt of claim
money, simply because of the lack
of a little initial care.
"Another place where public opin
ion is able to aid the companies in
their drive for better and more effici
ent service is in the prevention c-f
stealing," said Mr. Conwell." In New
York there is an organization m"d
York there is an organized band of
wagon thieves who hang together
and are shielded by insidious politi
cal influences; public opinion can da
a lot to prevent such support and
bring the criminals to justice."
Arthur Bailey introduced the speak
er and voiced the gratification of the
Chamber of Commerce officials at the
large attendance.
Penrose and Governor
Talk Over Phila. Bills
Senator Boies Penrose, who spent
part of the morning with Governor
William C. Sproul discussing the
Philadelphia charter bill, said that
the plan was to haVe the bill brought
up fcr final action next week. He
predicted that the charter and the
registration bills would pass second
reading in the House this week.
"The Governor is greatly interested
in the Philadelphia bills, and believes
that the citizens of Philadelphia
should be given opportunity to ex
press views unhampered," said the
Senator. "The reform bills are going
to win."
There were a number of reports to
day that the Senate committee In
charge of the police commissioner
bill would be asked to overturn the
action of Senator Vare, the chairman,
in holding up the police commissioner
bill, but nothing developed to-day.

of Company C, Three Hundred and
Thirteenth Machine Gun Battalion,
w as badly gassed in the severe fight
ing in the Argonne Forest, but re
covered sufficiently in the early part
of this year to be returned to his
command. It was his machine gun
battalion that supported the opening
attack of the leading battalion of the
Seventhy-ninth Division in the com
mencement of the Argonne-Meuse of
fensive on September 26. For eight
consecutive days his battalion re
mained in the line, pushing forward
and directing harassing and indirect
fire on the retiring Germans; fre

Division Commander is published for
the information of the command:
"American Expeditionary Forces,
"Office of the Commander-in-Chief,
"France, April 13, 1919.
"Mnjor General, Joseph Kuhn,
"Commanding" Seventy-ninth Di
vision, American E. F.
"My Dear General Kuhn:
"It afforded me great satisfaction to
inspect the Seventy-ninth Division on
April 12, and on that occasion to
decorate the standards of your regi
ments and, for gallantry in action, to
confer medals upon certain officers
and men. Your transportation and
artillery were in splendid shape, and
the general appearance of the division
was well up to the standard of the
American Expeditionary Forces.
Throughout the inspection and re
view the excellent morale of the men
and their pride iff the record of their
organization wm evident.
"In the Meuse-Argonne offense, the
division had its full share of hard
fighting. Entering the line for the
first time on September 26 as th"
right of the center corps, it took part
ir. llie beginning of the great Meuse-
Argonne offense. By September 27 it
had captured the strong position of
Montfaucon, and in spite of heavy
artillery reaction, the Bois de Beuge
and Nantillois were occupied. On
September 30 It was relieved, having
advanced ten kilometers. It again
entered the battle on October 29. re
lieving. as part of the Seventeenth
French Corps, the Twenty-ninth Di
vision in the Grande Montagne Sector
to the east of the Meuse river. From
that time until the armistice went in
to effect. It was almost constantly in
action. On November 9, Crepion,
Wavrllle and Giberoy were taken, and
in conjunction with elements on the
right and left, Etraye and Moirey
were invested. On November 10,
Chaumcnt-devant-Damvlllers was oc
cupied and on November 11, Ville
drvant-Chaumont was taken—a total
advance of nine and one-half kilo
meters.
"This is a fine record for dny di
vision, and I want the officers and
men to know this and to realize how
much they have contributed to the
success of our arms. They may re
turn home justly proud of themselves
and of the part they have played in
the American Expeditionary Forces.
"Sincerely yours.

of and that they threw it away at
random, Jaglelky being the victim.
A fairly accurate description of the
man slain by his own bomb in Wash
ington, based on examination of
fragments of flesh and clothing, has
been issued by the local police. He
is believed to have been a slender,
swarthy man with dark hair, wear
ing a black suit with green stripes,
white shirt with green and yellow
stripes, winter underwear, tan lisle
socks, a 7 % hat and a collar, the
laundry mark of which may furnish
an important clue. The man car
ried two pistols.
William I. Schaffer, Attorney Gen
eral of Pennsylvania, said to-day:
"Reports that I have had from
various sources have indicated to me
that there was an extensive plot to
do something of this kind. People
have scofTed at the idea, but I was
Impressed."
The police announced to-day that
the bombs used here contained gun
cotton.
The department to-day issued or
ders for the arrest of agitators post
ing bright red-lettered notices of a
general strike on poles and other
property throughout the city. The
call Is for a "general strike to free
all political prisoners." In the opin
ion of James Robinson, superintend
ent of police, the poster is the work
of agitators, who aim to inaugurate
here a strike similar to the one that
recently swept parts of Canada.
A black touring car with yellow
wheels is being sought as the car used
by the men who set off bombs in this
city. The police announced that fol
lowing an investigation they were con
vinced the car found abandoned in
Fairmount Park was not the one used
by the dynamiters."
Three witnesses, sitting on a porch
near the rectory of Our Lady of Vic
tory Church, saw the touring car drive
up to the front of the rectory. One
of the occupants alighted and deposited
objects under the porch. The motor
speeded away.
The two explosions quickly followed,
about 30 seconds apa/t. Five minutes
later the third explosion occurred a
mile away.
CAPITOL PROTECTED
Superintendent George A. Shrei

windows of the Capitol to prevent
anything being thrown into them.
The guards about the Capitol have

The new company has been incor
porated under the Delaware laws. The
charter empowers it to provide amuse
ment for the public in any way, to
purchase and erect buildings and per
form every necessary detail In connec
tion with motion pictures, vaudeville
and general amusements.
"The new company is but a logical
sequence of the others," Mr. Mastbaum
said. "Each one was supreme in its
field of endeavor, which was to give
the motion pictures and vaudeville at
popular prices. If a combination of
these forces could give the people still
better entertainment and still at rea
sonable prices, was the first considera
tion that entered into the negotiations.
It was found tnat real benefit would
accrue to the public from such a mer
ger—greater than if these interests
continued to work along their own sep
arate lines."

There has been no official intima

Dispatches reaching Paris from

headed by Herr German, former
minister of commerce in the Karolyl

have been invited to go to Paris to
confer with Allied representatives.
A German detachment is said to
have violated the armistice agree
