TUESDAY EVENING,
a statement accompanying; their
resignations, "and are not answer
able to our comrades."
"A large portion of our members
and officials are prevented from at
tending miners' meetings and are
shouted down, cursed and threaten
ed, while irresponsible 'word heroes'
work in the most senseless manner
for the destruction of our associa
tion in order to attain their political
purposes, which lead to economic
and political anarchy and prepare
the ground for counter-revolution
opposition. They see in the Spart
acists their ally and peacemaker.
"By strikes the number of work
less Germans has been doubled, in
dustry lamed, hunger lengthened,
food importation prevented, the eco
nomic, financial and political break
down of the German republic
brought into the near future, and
unionized discipline destroyed.
"We decline responsibility for all
that. Our conscience, our honor, our
past filled with sacrifices, and our
love of our comrades, force us to
abandon definitely a path which
many of our members appear to be
taking."

ACHED FOR "TIZ"
Let your sore, swollen, aching
feet spread out in a bath
of "Tiz."
Just take your shoes off and then
put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach
ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion
tortured feet of yours in a "Ti"
bath. Your toes will wriggle with
joy; they'll look up at you and almost
talk and then they'll take another
dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like lumps
of lead —all tired out—just try
"Tiz." It's grand—it's glorious.
Your feet will dance with joy; also
you will find all pain gone from
corns, callouses and bunions.
There's nothing like "Tiz." It's
the only remedy that draws out all
the poisonous exudations which
puff your feet and cause foot tor
ture.
Get a 25-cent box of "Tiz" at any
drug or department store—don't
wait. Ah! how glad your feet get;
how comfortable your shoes feel.
You can wear shoes a size smaller
if you desire.

BOROUGH WINS
STREET RENTAL
State Supreme Court Decides
in Favor of Mechanicsburg
in Valley Railways Suit
Mechanicsburg, Pa., June 24.
After years of contention between
the borough of Mechanicsburg and
the Valley Railways Company, with
a law suit of long standing, a de
cision was reached by the Supreme
Court, the highest judicial body in
the State of Pennsylvania, in favor
of the former. This is, in effect,
that the borough is sustained in the
ordnance, asking the rental of sl,-
200 per annum for the use of the
streets.
The trolley line resisted the pay
ment of this amount and the mat
ter went through the courts. The
lower court. Judge Gillan sitting, de
cided unreservedly in favor of the
borough, whereupon the Valley
Company appealed to the Superior
Court. The Superior Court, Justice
Porter, affirmed the decision of the
lower court, declaring that the
question at issue was the borough's
constitutional right to make and
enforce a contract, which neither
the Legislature'nor the courts had
the power to nullify. This decision
was appealed by the trolley company
to the Cumberland County Court,
Judge McPherson, of Adams county,
presiding, who dismissed the case
and sustained the borough.
The decision of the Supreme
Court gives the borough the right
to charge $1,200.
During the years the matter was
in the court, the amount due the
borough has accumulated, until at
the present time the sum is in the
neighborhood of $12,000.

committed suicide by hanging him
self to a tree in a woods near his
home at Sunbeam, near Chambers

vember. While his brother and sis
ter, J. A. and Miss Amanda Ward,

and committed the deed. Missing
him later, the brother made a search
and found his body hanging by a

EARIVY WHEAT HARVEST
Waynesboro, Pa., Juno 24.—The
wheat harvest is about ready for
the sickle in this region, some of it
entirely so and a few began to-day;
the harvest will be in full swing all
along the line by the middle of the
week. The grain stands up finely
and the crop looks to be a bumper
one. A seeming paradox is that the
wheat harvest in this region will pre
cede the hay making. The grass was
held up by the cold season In April
and but little of it has come to ma
turity. so that the wheat can be cut
and housed before any considerable
portion of the hay crop is ready to be
harvested. ,
JUMPS FROM BRIDGE
Hagarstown, Md., June 24.—John

jured. His hip was fractured and
he is believed to be injured inter
nally. He was brought to the hos
pital here in a serious condition.
BRING SOLDIERS
HOME RAPIDLY
Secretary Daniels Says It Will
Be Done as Fast as Ships
Can Make the Trips
Carlisle, Pa., June 24.—Now that
the peace treaty is virtually signed,
American soldiers will be brought
home as fast as ships can make the
trip. Secretary of the Navy Daniels
told Dickinson graduates, alumni
and visitors at the one hundred and
thirty-sixth annual commencement
at Dickinson College.
In addition to the degrees in
course conferred some honorary ne
grees were given out. They in
clude:
Doctor of literature Joseph us
Daniels, the Rev. George H. Lorah,
Philadelphia.
Doctor of divinity The Rev.
Dorr F. Diefendorf, Newark, N. J.;
Samuel W. Grafflin, White Plains,
N. J.; James H. Hayatt, Baltimore,
Md.; Virgil E. Rorer, Philadelphia.
In his address Secretary Daniels
indorsed the League of Nations
plan as outlined, declaring that it
would not embroil the United States
in more wars, but would bring peace
to the world. He told of a recent
inspection trip in Europe and stat
ed that as soon as the treaty was
signed that soldiers would be
brought home.
He paid a tribute to the work of
the Navy in transporting more than
two million men to France with
slight loss, in spite of the subma
rines. The war brought out what
was best in American college men.
Peace and readjustment show as
great problems to the solving of
which those who go out from the
institutions of learning should lend
every effort.

MRS.GERHOLD
TRIES SUICIDE
Woman Was Acquitted of
Murder of Floyd Keller,
Her First Husband
Chambersburg, Pa., June 24.—Al
though she contends that she wanted
to end her life, Mrs. Zelda Keller
Gerhold probably saved it by looking
into a mirror to direct the aim of her
revolver.' Angered because she believ
ed her husband unfaithful to her, she
went to an upstairs room of her
home in Mercersburg, near here, and
pointed the pistol at her heart. How
ever, hy looking into the mirror she
misjudged the angle of the pistol anil
instead of entering hor bodv, tne
bullet passed under her left breast
causing only a painful flesh wound
and some powder burns.
Mrs. Gerhold first entered the
limelight in Franklin county when
she was prosecuted for, and acquit
ted of the murder of her first hus
band, Floyd Keller, whom she was
alleged to have poisoned.
Recently she brought suit against
her second husband, Louis Gerhold,
for desertion and nonsupport. After
she entered the suit, her husband re
turned to live with her, but she told
friends who found her after the
shooting that he had remained away
from home a couple nights last week
and it was because of that that she
decided to end he." life.
