20 EAGLE BOATS MAKING GOOD 'Operating on Dispatch Service in North Russian Waters Aboard U. S. Ragle Iloat No. 3, In Sen, Aug. s.—American Eagle '"boats now are operating on dispatch service in North Russian waters. Eagle Boats Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the first built of this type for the Ameri can Government, arrived in Arch . angel after a 6,200 mile run under their own steam from the Atlantic seaboard and according to their of ficers, have more than made good. Crews of the larger naval vessels are Inclined to chaff the Eagle Boat men and call these craft the "tin lizzies" of the navy, but the officers of the Eagles are proud of their sea worthiness and efficiency. The Associated Press correspond ent has just made a trip from Arch angel to Kem, across the White Sea, aboard the flagship of the little flotilla and in this 16-hour run, in stormy weather, the flagship and the No. 1 had ample opportunity to show their ; seaworthiness. In Archangel, at this season of the year, the weather has been almost tropical, and the American officers, who had expected to find the attic frigid even in the eternal daylight days of June, were confronted, in stead, with temperatures and sun shine that made white duck the pres cribed uniform. Two hours out of Archangel, how ever, at the entrance to the White Sea, the Eagles ran into a cold gale and snowstorm which set the light craft tossing and rolling and forced the crews quickly into their woolens and oilskins. However, the Eagles kept ploughing along to their course, and arrived in Ivern harbor none the worse for one of the worst batteitings they have yet received. With their two four-inch guns, one three-inch anti-aircraft gun, and ma chine-gun anti-airplane battery, the Eagles might be expected to give a good account of themselves, say the officers, against submarines or any above the water craft or anything near their size. The three boats operating in the White Sea are under the command <f Lieutenant Commander Norman Scott, U. S. N. whose home is in Indian apolis King Kelly Offers to Take Up Passenger For Parachute Jump Want to take a ride in a great big j balloon? Well, here's your chance. King . Kellv, who for the last fifteen years . has- been visiting Paxtang Park : and who is there all this week male- ; ing a flight each afternoon and evening, to-day announced that he is ready to take any person in Har- ; risburg a ride in his balloon this j week, provided, however, that the applicant assume all risk of the journey. That is the only qualifi cation. Of course, Kelly will go along on the trip and then there will be the parachute leap and the drop to earth in the bargain. The whole thing is over in ten minutes, Kelly said to-day, but each minute is crowcwS brimful of excitement and persons with a desire to do something out of the ordinary will have their fondest wishes gratified by the trip. Under ordinary conditions Kelly goes to a height of from one-half to a mile from the earth but in making his offer to take up any persons with flying desires, he said he would go up the better part of two miles. "There's a lot of fun about bal looning," Kelly smiled. "You go up like a shot out of a cannon and there's a rather peculiar but pleasant sensation on the first trip. Cutting the parachute loose from the bal loon means that you have a straight drop of from 100 to 250 feet before the parachute drops and during that time you have a chance to im agine all kinds of things. You can . see pretty flowers and perchance you •may imagine you see your friends • passing in single file alongside of you. But then the parachute opens, your speed slackens and you float off slowly to some landing place. Now I like ballooning and when I I came here yesterday the thought i struck me that perhaps some of the t-thousands who have seen me before j would like to take a trip with me. ' If you know any person with such i desires just send them along to me i and we'll have a dandy time up t among the clouds some day this week." Kelly made his first ascension of ; the week last night in the presence j of a crowd of several thousand per ; sons. Before he leaves Harrisburg he will do some new stunts and drop .from three, or four parachutes. .Archibald Roosevelt Has Trench Fever By Associated Press. Chicago.

August s.—Morris Ros enblum, an internal revenue inspect or, pleaded guilty of conspiracy to defraud the Government out of in come tax money at the opening of his trial and that of Morris Rachmil and Abraham Lincoln Sarnuelson, partners in the Sterling Accounting and Audit Company in Federal Court here. Ros enblum probably will testify against the other defendants. Adolph Pricken, vice-president of the Coastwise Warehouse, Inc., the first witness called, testified that Sarnuelson suggested to him last Oc tober that he could save the company considerable money by substituting new books on January 1, 1919, and destroying the old ones. Sarnuelson and Rachmil later told him that they would have Rosenblum's O. K. and cover up any false return submitted, he said. The witness also testified that at a later conference with Rosenblum and the defendants he was told the deal would cost $9,000, which would be 15 per cent, of the $60,000 saved by the false return.

CONGREGATION FILES ANSWER TO SUIT Pastor of Evangelical Lutheran Church Declares Building Is Being Used According to Desires of Majority Denying the charge that the Holy Communion Lutheran Church is.not used as provided in the charter of the church and claiming that there was authority for not remaining in the Evangelical Lutheran Mlnister iunt of Pennsylvania, that the serv ices in the church are conducted according to the faith and doctrine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, counsel for the Rev. John Miller, pastor, and other defendants in an equity suit, filed an answer in which the court is asked to dismiss the proceeding. Recently U. G. Nagle, J. L. Cress man, M. C. Bushey, William Hoover, William Brommer. George W. Zim merman and J. S. Peifer tiled an action against the pastor, William A. Gernert, William Bailey, H. H. Umholtz, J. A. Hamilton, Edward Schmehl, S. E. Miller, Samuel Hoff man, C. C. liogentogler and Henry Quier, claiming they had no right to the use of the church for having withdrawn from the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium. With the tiling of an answer to charges made in this equity suit by attorneys for the defense, E. M. Hershey, William M. Hain and William M. Hargest, the next pro cedure will be fixing a time for hearing the case in court. High Spots In lteply In the answer which was filed the statements as summarized are: Deny that the plaintiffs are in good standing in the Holy Com munion Church, the first three named having been ousted as trustees, March 23, 1919, and three others elected to succeed them. Deny that church received any support except from con gregation since January, 1917. Deny also that congregation built the church with financial assistance from Ministerium or Lancaster Conference. Claim congregation received loan of $3,000 without interest from LulTieran Mission and Ex tension Board secured by a mortgage, and in February, 1919, loan for building purposes was paid in full. Assert that congregation from time of organization has been and still is a member of the Ministerium. Claim the Holy Communion Church is an }BD!LRRI6BTXR,G sfs3issg TELEGRAPH independent organization and the Ministerium has not and never had any authority over congregation. Admitting the union of the General Council of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America and the United Synod of the Evangelical Luth eran Church in the South into one organization, the United Lutheran Church in America, the defendants claim that by this union the constitution which was then adopted greatly changed the form of govern ment from that formerly used by the General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America. Mention is made of the change in calling a minister to a church, every cbngregution having that right un der the General Council government, but with the new system which went into effect November 14, 1918, with the forming of the Lutheran union, it is provided that the synod shall have the right to call and appoint ministers for all congregations. Other Points Brought Out It is stated that the congregation at its regular annual meeting in January by more than a two-thirds vote decided not to join the new United Lutheran Church in America, which it is claimed entirely abolished congregational power and created an ecclesiastical, autocratic commission for the deision of all questions of principle and action arising within the United Lutheran Church in America. Other similar statements in which the independence of the congrega tion is claimed, are given in the answer. It is stated that the church was not bound by its charter or any law of the State to join any organiza tion which the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania joined. That a small minority of the con gregation of the Holy Communion Church together with the plaintiffs have affiliated themselves with the United Lutheran Church and refuse to worship with the present congre gation also is asserted in the answer, and also have not contributed to the church, but illegally claim to be the officers and congregation of the church. In conclusion it is claimed that the property has not been diverted from Living Room Furniture Distin guished For Its Beauty and Workmanship At Savings of Special Significance The August Furniture Sale is rendering a wonderful service this Summer to home-furnishers because of the substantial savings offered in the pace of an unchecked upward trend of costs.

New Cumberland Enrolls in the American Legion With the announcement made last evening that the New Cumberland organization of the American Legion had received a temporary charter as Post No. 14 3, further interest was aroused in the formation of a local post.

Restora- 1 tion of Government control of fuel prices as well as food prices is i being seriously considered as a wea- i pon in the tight to beat down the ! high cost of living. Sentiment for . the revival of the Fuel and Food ; Administrations, which exercised j sweeping powers during hostilities, j is apparent not only among the j Government officials who are work- j ing out a solution of present condi- j tions, but was reflected to-day in I Congress. No legislative action wouldv be I necessary to bring either one or j both of these administrations ihto i play again. The authority granted j in the laws creating them holding ; until peace shall have been con- | eluded by the ratification of the ; treaty. Even fuel dealers, fearing ; that the constantly mounting prices j will bring the American people to j the point of violence during the com- j ing winter, are urging restoration of fuel control. HULL HOUSE ONCE HOME OF IMONEER CITIZEN I Chicago. —Hull House, Chicago, gets i its name from the fact that the house was originally built in 1856 as a res idence for one of Chicago's pioneer citizens, Charles J.
