Carlisle Experiences Ice
Famine For Several Days
Carlisle, Pa., July B.—ln the midst
of the hottest weather of the year,
Carlisle is experiencing an ice fam
ine, which seems to be the first of
others which may occur. Failure
of the United Ice & Coal Company
to receive supplies left certain sec
tions of the town without ice all
day Saturday and also Sunday.
Some relief was given by deliver
ies from the new Cunningham plant
at Mount Holly Springs and from
other supplies which came in from
big users. However, many homes
did not get ice yesterday, either.
The local company states that the
trouble is due to the fact that the
natural ice crop was practically
negligible last winter and the fact
that supplies of artificial ice are
hard to get.

Opposes Compensation
Awards in Lump Sums
By Associated I-'tess.
Heading, Pa., July 8. Before
leaving-for hie home-in Philadelphia
to-day, after a State workmen's com
pensation board session here, Chairman
1 Harry A. Mackey announced that the
board has been besieged with requests
for compensation awards in lump sums
! from Italians, Austrians, Hungarians
and other aliens. They want their
money, due as damages for personal in
juries, paid at one time to enable
to return to the old country, where
American money will buy much larger
amounts in foreign coin at present
rates of exchange. The end of the war
is one of the reasons for their wishing
to leave America.
Mr. Mackey said he is very much
opposed to lump cash settlements of
claims where the applicant wants to
leave the United States. The board
has not yet made a decision.
Thinks Government Can
Run Railroads Better
By Associated Press.
Washington, July B.—Better re
sults in transportation can be obtained
by maintaining and improving Federal
operation than by returning "to old
methods in whatever guise," Joseph B.
Eastman, member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, declared to-day
in a communication to the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee. He was
not a member of the commission when
the commission's views on the railroad
situation were given the committee last
winter.
Mr. Eastman declared that Federal
control of the roads should continue so
as to ensure necessary capital at low
cost; to avoid unduly high rates; to
solve the problem of the "weak" roads;
to obtain the operating advantages
which come from unification, and to pro
mote right relations with labor.
DECISION RESERVED
Judge S. J. M. McCarrell reserved
decision late yesterday afternoon af
ter hearing all the evidence in the
habeas corpus action brought by
Jacob R. Eichinger, New Cumber
land, to secure the custody of his
twin 5-year-old grandchildren now
in the Sylvan Heights Orphanage.
The mother, Mrs. Helen G. Eiching
er, who was deserted by her hus
band, it is alleged, pleaded to the
court that a mother who has worked
I to support her children and is still
doing so should have the right to
! place them where she believed they
| would have the best care. She said
i that at the orphanage she can see
I them at anytime, but if they were
sent to the Eichinger home she did
I not believe she would receive a warm
I reception if she went there to see
j the little girls. The Eichingers on
I the witness stand said that she could
i come to their home in New Cumber
land to see the children whenever
she wanted to do so.
