James Boland
Philadelphia, Aug. 16. ln a
statement given out here. James J.
Boland, of New Tork, who is said to
owe the North Penn bank, which closed |
its doors July 18, about $380,000, de- •
clared that all his loans from the bank
were made in the usual way on the
delivery of notes for the amount of
the loans. He added that no commis
sion or consideration was paid to Ralph
T. Moyer, cashier of the closed institu
tion, who is under $25,000 ball in con
nection with the failure, or to any one
else in the transactions.
Boland, who is head of the New York
National Insurance Company, which
was recently taken over by the New
York State insurance authorities, said
the Boland Company had no overdraft,
no overdue paper and no overdue notes
guaranteed by it in the bank at the
time it suspended business. "The earn
ing power of the Boland Company.
the statement said, "was steadily in
creasing and at the rate at the time
the bank closed it would have been able
to take care of its entire indebtedness
to the North Penn in approximately
flvo years,!'
State officials investigating the fail
ure said to-day the losses of depositors
probably would be greatly reduced from
first estimates. Between $200,000 and
SBOO,OOO in assets not previously re
ported have been found, according to
Bnnking Commissioner Fisher.
When the institution suspended it had
an apparent shortage of $2,144,000.
Find Mayor of London's
Keys in Yank's Bedding
Boston, Aug. 16. Two ancient
keys to the Lord Mayors mansion in
London, recovered at Camp Devens
from the baggage of an American
Army officer, were in the possession of
the Armv Intelligence Department here
to-day. The keys, each about ten
inches in length, were found in the
officer's bedding roll. The officer him
self has not been at Camp Devens and
It is thought his baggage was sent
there by mistake.
How the keys cafe into his posses
sion was not made known here. Army
officials at the Northeastern Depart
ment declined to comment upon a re
port that the keps had been handed to
General Pershing on the occasion of
his visit to London as a symbol of the
granting of the freedom of the city
and were missing when it came time
for them to be returned to the Lord
Mayor.
Student's Knotted Trousers
Evidence in Girl's Death
Ithaca. N. Y„ Aug. 16.— Donald
F Fether, a Cornell University
freshman last year, is in a cell here,
charged with murdering Miss Hazel
Crance, the beautiful 18-year-old
girls who was drowned from a
canoe in which Fether was her com
panion on Cayuga lake, near Glen
wood, the night of July 19. The
girl's body has not been recovered,
although the water has been drag
ged repeatedly.
"It was an accident," was all tne
authorities could induce Fether to
say after his arrest.

All Europe Facing
Disaster in Coal Problem
By Associated Press.
Berlin, Friday, Aug. 15. That
all Europe is facing disaster in the
coal situation is the common opin
ion of industrial and shipping leaders
who have been conferring on the
subject here for the last few days.
Walther Fehling of Hamburg, a
shipping expert, in discussing pros
pects of the coming winter so far
as Germany is concerned, declares
the fuel situation will positively
prove a more potent reviver of acute
Bolshevism than food.
"The question is, can the hungry
people stand added privation and
freezing for three or four months?"
He said "machine guns may subdue
Bolshevism but they cannot yield
coal."
Experts estimate the shortage in
the German coal output for the next
12 months will be approximately
100,000,000 tons and predict the
United States will be called on to
offset the continental shortage.
WANTS TO SEE HIS FIANCEE
By Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. 15. Prince Felix,
of Bourbon-Parma, brother of
former Empress Zita, of Austria, is
seeking authorization by the Allies
to go to Luxemberg to visit his
fiancee, the grand duchess Charlotte,
according to a Geneva dispatch to
the Tempa, which says that he af
firms his loyalty to the Allies. The
Temps adds that, unlike his brothers,
Prince Sixte and Prince Xavier, who
served in the Belgian Army, Prince
Felix fought with the Austrian
Armies, but not on the western front.
Discolored or Spotted
Skin Easily Peeled Off
The freckling, discoloring or
roughening to which most skins are \
subject at this season may readily j
be gotten- rid of. Ordinary mer- |
colized wax, spread lightly over the i
face before retiring and removed in
the morning with soap and water, I
completely peels off the disfigured
skin. You need not get more than
an ounce of the wax from your
druggist.
There's no more effective way of
banishing tan, freckles, liver spots,
moth patches, or other cutaneous
defects. Minute, almost invisible,
skin particles come off each day, so
the process itself doesn't even tem
porarily mar the complexion, and
you soon acquire a brand new spot
iess, girlishly beautiful face.

Vaudeville Matinee and evening
shows to-day.
To-day is the last chance Harris
burgers have of hearing Harry Jol
son, brother of AlI
At the Majestic Jolson, the celebrat- |
ed comedian sing at I
the Majestic theater. Everyone of
the other acts on the bill the last half j
of this week are good.
The first half of next week Harris
burg vaudeville devotees will have
the opportunity of hearing a salty
musical revue presented by eleven
girlie gobs, formerly members of the |
crew of theU. S. S. George Washing
ton, while it was commissioned as the
Peace Ship. Every member of the
troupe which comes here, was pres
ent when the "Everysallor" company
presented their musical revue to
President Wilson. Mrs. Wilson. George
Creel, Charles Schwab and many
others who were aboard the Peace
Ship. The revue was given one night
when the ocean was quite rough and
the passengers needed to
cheer their spirits. Presida.lL Wil
son laughed throughout the perform
ance as did the rest of his company.
Charles Schwab said it was one of
the pleasantest hoars he ever spent.
By presenting the show George
Creel, chairman of the Committee of
Pablic Information, came into a rath
er peculiar situation. The show was
to be presented, yet it had not been
reviewed. So. Mr. Creel sat through
the show the night of dress rehearsal
and viewed the show. It did not need
any censoring however, to be shown, I
in America's best circles.
Four other Keith acts will be
shown in connection with this fea
ture attraction.
Some women think they know how
to manage a man and make him feel
that he Is content-
At the Colonial ed by her manage
ment. But Leah
Baird partly explodes this theory of
husband training in her latest picture
which is showing at the Colonial ;
theater for the last time today. She
is supported by an all-star cast which
includes Augustus Thomas, and other |
notables. i
Monday and Tuesday of next week [
Tom Moore will be shown in his j
I latest and greatest production,
"Heartease."
That photoplay, "The Wilderness !
Trail," will be seen for the last time J
to-day at the
The Wilderness Trnll V i c t oria
Shows To-day Only Theater.. It
ha.* proven
one of the best pictures in which
Tom Mix, the William Fox star, has
appeared. It is exciting front be
ginning to end —rapid in action, full
of tense moments and thrills, and
the scenic effects are beautiful.
Don't overlook the fact that to
night will be your last opportunity
to hear The Adelphi
The Bill at Melody Four, at the
l'uxtung I'llrk Paxtang Park Thea
ter. This quartette
is said to be one of the real treats
of vaudeville. There is no buffoorney
in the act; the boys just sing. The
other attractions on the park bill
are all acts that have made their
mark on the vaudeville stage anl
every one of them capably plays his
part in the park performance. There
l will be a inatinee at the park thea
ter at three o'clock this afternoon.
In the wide range of the screen
drama, few more appealing motion
pictures have teen
Mnry I'lekord produced than "The
ut the ltegent Dawn of a Tomor
row," starring Mary
Pickford, which will be shown at the j
Regent Theater to-day. This is a
delightful picturization of Frances |
Hodgson Burnett's famous story of |
tiie slums of London in which "Our t
Mary" appears as a waif with a re
ligious turn of mind. The story is
one of unusual strength and excep
tional heart appeal.
This will be the last day of Mary
Pickford Week at the Regent. The
remainder of a very attractive pro
gram includes the Paramount, Mack-
Sennett Comedy, "Among Those Pres
ent," featuring Phyliss Haver.
Troops Charge Mob and
Are Met With Volley
ot Stones in Riots
By Associated Press.
liondoiulcrry, Aug. 16. Rioting
and looting occurred in this city dur
ing the past night and early this
morning. Troops charged on mobs,
but did not fire any shots. The sol
diers, however, were met with a vol
ley of stones when they attempted
to break up a nationalists' demon
stration. The monetary loss from
looting and from damage to prop
erty is estimated at thousands of
pound 3 by police authorities.
Tht trouble started when nation
alists set fir e to a large number of

One force of troops kept the
I crowds apart while other detach-
I ments attempted to clear the streets
charging upon the throngs repeat-
I edly.
Bricks and stones were hurled at
the charging troops, one soldier be
ing seriously hurt. The nationalists
were finally driven back to their own
quarters.
Windows were smashed and shops
i were looted by the crowds and the
city was in darkness the entire
i night. More rioting is feared to
night.
Spraying Yields Big
Returns to Farmer
Spraying had increased this potato
yield by 21 bushels to the acre.
This fact was demonstrated in a
Dauphin County Farm Bureau dem
onstration yesterday on the farm of
William H. Jones. More than 75
farmers attended the demonstration.
"If the farmers of Dauphin county
will spray their potato crops with
Bordeaux mixture, they are bound to
have a huge increase In results,"
County Agent H. G. Niesley said at
j the conclusion of the demonstration.
Dr. E. L. Nixon, of the extension
service of State College, attended the
demonstration and gave a short talk
to the farmers. He told of the pos
sibilities of spraying and strongly
advocated the Bordeaux mixture

Identify Man Killed
in New York Hotel
as Portland Resident
Xew York, Aug. 16. —The mystery
surrounding the murder of a sol
dier in the Hotel McAlpin Thurs
day was only partially dispelled
yesterday when the body was iden
tified as being that of C. E. Lan
don, a student of the University of
Oregon, whose homo was in Port
land. Sergeant Vos, who has just
returned from overseas with Lan
dan and was discharged from the
Army with him on Tuesday, made
the identification.
The police believe that Landoh,
who had S3OO in back pay with
him, was lured to the hotel by a
Broadway "floater" who killed him
to get the money from him. Thi3
theory is borne out by the fact that
only twenty-five cents was found in
London's clothing.
The weapon with which the mur
der was committed was found when
a bent and bloody candelabra was
removed from beneath one of the
two beds in the room.
