16 SAYS AIRPLANES DISTURB STOCK, FARMER SUES >seeks to Restrain Aviators From Using Air Above His Farm Kansas City, Mo., July 29.—Wheth rr a property owner is also owner of ••the air above his land is to be de -1 termined through a court action ' brought by Frederick Hoenemann, a farmer. He seeks to restrain a com pany owning airplanes from using the air above his farm. Hoenemann contends that sight of the machines and the noise of their engines disturb the livestock. There is said to be no direct pre cedent to guide the court, and the ! case is causing wide discussion in > legal circles. Legal experts of England have dis enssed the matter from the stand | point of national ownership of the i air, it is said. Some lawyers contend that freed •©m of the seas and freedom of the i air are the same, while others assert i the courts have held that ownership . carries with it light and air above the property as well as the earth be neath. It is pointed out that when the ,ateam engine came there were many ' law suits, the plaintiffs contending ! that the noise as well as the danger i, Jeopardized their stock. The Mass • achusetts Supreme Court, however, rendered the opinion that the locomo tive was lawful and in keeping with ! progress. Attorneys say a similar i condition aroso when motor cars came into use, but the highest court of Indiana ruled in their favor on the grounds that the law must keep pace with progress. JEvangelicals Planning For Reunion of Churches The Evangelical Association and the United Evangelical Church, after being divided for twenty-four years, are busy planning for an organic nnion. Representative committees are at work and the matter has been S resented to the general conference odies with a favorable report. A lay member of the Evangelical Associa tion offers a number of suggestions to their next general conference, among which are the change of the denominational name to Evangelical Episcopal Church; the election of "a bishop on evangelism"; the placing of a resident bishop in the European field; a missionary bishop for the Orient, resident either in China or Japan, the elimination of the time limit for city missionaries; also the modification of the office of the pre siding elder. He thinks also that the question of "reunion of the decend ants of Jacob Albright" must be final ly settled by the next general con ference, either by coming together or by abandoning the movement TABERNACLE SERVICE SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED Perknsie, Pa., July 29.—Tabernacle religious services at Perkasie Park attracted thousands of people from the beginning of the missionary con ference, Bible conference, normal as sembly and the cumpnieet.ing until the closing session Sunday evening.

You Buy The Lot— _ We'll Build Your Home At Lafayette TUESDAY EVENING, HIGH HONORS FOR GENERAL LIGGETT Reading Rejoices as He Re turns to Scenes of His Boyhood Days Heading, Pa., July 29.—Lieuten ant General Hunter Liggett, second In command of the A. E. F., under General Pershing, was given a dem onstrative welcome by the people of his native city here yesterday. He was the guest of the municipality, city officials and the Chamber of Commerce, who arranged the cele bration in his honor. Industrial plants, stores and offices were closed and a half-holiday was observed. A parade, in which more than 8,000 members of military, secret and patriotic societies and associa tions took part, was the chief fea ture of the day. A committee of Chamber of Com merce and city officials escorted General Liggett from Allentown to this city. Church bells and factory whistles announced his arrival. A reception committee met the general at the station, and the auto mobile escort and the crowds from the station to the Hotel Berkshire made the visitor's progress to the center of the city a triumphal pro cession. After a luncheon and reception by a women's committee to Mrs. Lig gett, the parade formed. General Liggett reviewed the line of parade in Penn Square. Later he was presented with a gold medal by General Liggett Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars, established twen ty years ago and renamed in his honor. General Liggett, accompanied by Mrs. Liggett, visited his birthplace, a two-story dwellinghouse in South Sixth street. With his father, James Liggett, who was a former member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, the gen eral lived in the Sixth street house, this city, for the first seven years of his life. He later moved to Birds boro. He lived there until 1875, when he passed West Point exami nations. A dinner at the Hotel Berkshire last evening and a public reception in the hotel lobby closed the day's festivities. Mayor Filbert and others escorted General Liggett to Philadelphia last night, where he boarded a train for Washington. Mrs. Liggett left here to-day for New York, where she will be joined later by the general on his way to San Francisco to take charge of the department of the west. Government Slow to Aid Returning Veterans Philadelphia, July 29. "lt seems that every claim the ex-service man has on the Government can only be adjusted by an affidavit," said Mrs. Francis D. Lewis, who has been working as notary for the Home Service Section of the Red Cross. "We take about forty affidavits a day now," said Mrs. Lewis. "When I first came, one a day was all we had. Payments on Liberty bonds, on complicated cases of back allot ments, on compensation and insur ance all these and more must have supporting evidence in affidavit forms. "Of course, we render this serv ice entirely free of charge. But for the numerous papers that have to be copied and the unusual amount of documents that have to be filled in, a competent clerical force is an ab solute necessity." Exactly the same condition is prevail t in regard to local soldiers. Any number of cases have come to the attention of the Red Cross in this city of men who have never re ceived their allotments at home, or have been months behind in their pay; more especially the Liberty bonds seemed to be slow in coming in. The statement was made this morning at the local headquarters that affidavits had to be filed for every claim. In the case of one local soldier who took out bonds in October, 1917, and whose final payment on the bonds was July, 1918, the gov ernment has so far failed to deliver. After writing some half dozen times without receiving any answer what ever, he finally was told that the War Risk section had no record of his bonds but that an effort to lo cate them would be made. Up to the present the effort has evidently been unsuccessful. SWIFT EMPLOYES BUYING STOCK According to an announcement from Swift and Company, the policy recently adopted by the company in offering shares of stock to its em ployes has met with a most enthu siastic reception. The stock has been offered propor tionately. according to the wage earn ing capacity of the worker. No em ploye may own more than five shares, which is sold to them at par. Those who are still engaged in paying up their liberty bonds, are not required to make any payment other than a $lO deposit until their bonds are all paid for. More than 20,000 employes of the company have taken advantage of this offer. Of these new sharehold ers, 2500 are women. All of the plants and branch houses are in cluded in the list of stockholders now.

STAMPS FROM NEW STATES IN BIG DEMAND Collectors Are Enthusiastic Over the Curious Designs London, July 29.—Stamp collectors, of which London has its full share, are enthusiastic over the curious post age stamps which are beginning to reach them from the smaller European States. One example from Lithuania is of the first permanent lssuo of that coun try. It has been lithographed on heavy Silurian gray paper, formerly used for the printing of bead tickets. Lettland, Lithuania's neighbor, printed its first stamps on the backs of German ordnance maps but these proved a little unwelldy and now its stamps are printed on the flimsiest cigarette papers. Czecho-Slovakia stamps recently received here are simply the united arms of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia with the inscription "Cesko-Slovenska Statni" printed on the Magyar stamps. They were issued when the Czecho slovak troops invaded Hungary. The disputed port of Flume has been provided with a striking series of pictorial stamps, apparently in an ticipation of an Italian mandate for they all bear the words "Fiume pro claima 1' annessione all'ltalia," and the date 30-10-1918. The four designs include the statue of Romulus and Remus fed by the she-wolf, the piazza of St. Mark, and ancient Venetian galleon and the portrait of Dr. Crossich. Lieut. Shoemaker Is I Elected Commander of New Governor's Troop At a meeting last night in the Hope Fire Company building fifty former members of the Governor's Troop went over plans for the reorganla tion of the troop as a unit of the new- National Guard. It was decided to hold a banquet at the Penn-Harris Hotel early in September. George Shoemaker, formerly of the police force, and later a lieutenant in the 2&th Division, was elected cap tain, with Horace Geisel as first lieu tenant. Lieutenant Shoemaker is still jin the hospital near Fort McHenry, j recovering from wounds received in France. These elections are subject to the approval of the Adjutant General of the State, but it is expected that he will appoint the officers if suf ficient petitions are presented. The committee in charge of the bannuet to be held in September, is as follows: Lieut. Harold Hippie, Lieut. Horace Geisel, Richard F. Hamer, Robert Cowan, Samuel Fit ting. Nevin W. Moyer, Matthew S. Q. Shupp, Charles McFarland, Charles Snvder, Howard Haulman. The next meeting of the new troop will be held August 11 at the Hope Engtnehouse. No General Tariff Revision Now, Senator Penrose Declares Washington, July 29. "There will be no general revision of the tariff at this session," said Senator Boies Penrose, chairman of the Committee on Finance who returned to Washington yesterday after an absence of several weeks. "I adhere to the view that I ex pressed at the beginning of this ses sion," Penrose said. "This is not time to write a scientific and consis tent tariff law, when conditions are abnormal and business has not re sumed its usual course. "The businessmen of this country generally are unanimous in that view. They agree with President Wilson on the subject. Until normal conditions have been restored and commerce has attained a fair level it will be impossible to frame a tariff law that will be to the interest of the United States. Ice Cream and Soda Water Tax Repealed as House Swelters Washington, July 29. After nearly two hours debate and while the temperature in the chamber was hovering around the 100 mark, the House late yesterday voted to re peal the ten per cent, tax on soda water and ice cream. The House also passed without a | record vote, the bill for reduction of the war tax on fruit Juices, as urged Iby Western producers. Members said the tax, fixed at two cents a gallon, was a flat reduction from 28 cents, estimated. All amendments were rejected from the bill, which applies to nonalcoholic beverages, including loganberry, grape and apple juice. Bootblack Stands in Downtown Berlin Berlin, July 29. —One more' of the practical "fruits of the revolution" has been the appearance of boot blacks in the downtown streets of Berlin. They are especially wel comed by the hotel guests who since the dawn "of new freedom" and the shortage of footgear are steadily discarding the once proper night custom of placing their boots in front of the door of the apartment | where they awaited the porter's early morning round. Greater Berlin has just licensed 160 public bootblack stands. Opera tore will wear a number and a Prus sian eagel band on their caps. York Is Aspiring to Be Internal Revenue Center York, Pa., July 29.—York will be made an important revenue center. This is the assertion of former Congressman A. R. Brodbeck, just returned from Washington, who at all times has been materially inter ested In the affairs of York and Adams counties. In view of the protest on the part of Lancastrians to the consolidation of the Ninth Internal Revenue Dis trict of Pennsylvania with the First, with the general offices to be in Philadelphia, this assertion will prove interesting to local people. Arkansas Legislature Ratifies Suffrage I/ittlc Rock, Ark., July 29.—80 th houses of the Arkansas Legislature yesterday ratified the federal woman suffrage amendment. In the Senate the vote was 29 to 2 and in the House it was 76 to 19. Arkansas is the twelfth State to ratify the pro posed amendment. TELEGKXPg HOLD UP FUNERAL TWO DAYS TO AWAIT CHAPLAIN New York, July 29.—A major of heavy artillery in France held up the funeral of the Rev. John Addams Linn, of 2 Marble Hill avenue. New York City, for two days so that an army chaplain might give him the burial he deserved. That was the high esteem in which this Y. M. C. A. work er, who was a nephew of Jane Addams, of Chicago, nd who was kill ed in Frnce on October 8, 1918, was held by the men of the Second Bat talion. Second Artillery. Officers of the outfit have just brought back stories of Linn's courage and sacri fice. Lieutenant T. C. Cambers of the Fifth Artillery, paid this tribute to Linn. "That fellow surely was a wonder, lie was always on the job. Every fellow in the detachment loved him, and what he would do for the fellows I can't begin to tell you. The major in command depended upon him as much as any offcier he had under him. "1 know of one time when he was practically in charrge of getting food supplies up to us. He would even wash clothes for the fellows. And the way he would get the 'Y' sup plies to us —cigarets, chocolate and everything under the sun! I have known him to walk seven kilometers and carry a pack on his back heavier than the pack a soldier carries, in order to get stuff for the boys.
