HOVERTER WILL BE
CITY'S NEXT MAYOR
[Continued from First Page.]
Harrisburg if our public afTairs are
properly handled and if we take full
advantage of the opportunities the
war has given us. I look forward
to the time when Harrisburg will be
the third city of the State in popu
lation, just as it now is from an in
dustrial and a transportation stand
point, But this will not just hap
pen. It will not come about unless
we, the people of the city, do our
part. We must not only endeavor to
procure new industries for Harris
burg, but we must make here a city
that will appeal to the man looking
for an industrial home. We must go
on as we have been going, making
this an attractive place in which to
live as well as to do business. And
in this respect I have noted, in get
ting around the city during the past
month or two, that while our build
ers have done splendidly this year in
the construction of additional houses
under difficult conditions, there is
still a great housing shortage. I
want to say that, as mayor, any
movement designed to erect a large
number of houses to be rented or
sold at reasonable cost will have my
hearty support. I believe that de
cent, good-looking homes at rea
sonable rentals constitute the great-

Interested in City
Alderman Hoverter is deeply in
terested in everything pertaining to
the growth of the city. "No man
could go through an experience in
Select Council, as I did, during the
time when the first great public im
provement campaign was in full
swing," he said to-day, "without im
bibing some of the splendid spirit
that our lawmaking bodies and the
citizenship in general showed at that
time, and I am free to say that I
have lost none of my enthusiasm for
Harrisburg since. During all my
forty years of residence in the city I
have been interested in its growth
and development, but I am perfectly
aware that it requires more than
enthusiasm to make the city govern
ment move forward and at the same
time keep it within the bounds of
reasonable revenues. I have no
foolish theories to work out, but I
have very definite ideas as to what
the mayor of a city like this should
do. I believe he ought to be a lead
er in every worthy plan for the ad
vancement and betterment of Har
risburg, but I also think that he
ought not to give his endorsement
to any plan without first consider
ing the cost and finding if it comes
within the ability of the taxpayer
to meet. Government of all kinds,
even with the best intentions in the
world, has come to be very costly
during the war, and the whole coun
try must, whether we want to or
not, get down to real business again
if we are not to run hopelessly into
debt. This is no criticism of any
body, nor is the view solely mine.
Every man with whom I have talked
feels the same way. Economy, af
ter the extravagance of the war,
must be the watchword of the hour.
We must spend wherever it is neces
sary to spend, but we must also
count the cost and save for the city
every cent that it is possible to save.

GEORGE A. HOVERTER
"To that end I propose to conduct
my own police hearings. My ex
perience as alderman of the Ninth
wards fits me, I think, very well for
that work, and I shall not shirk it.
I believe the people ought to have
the six or seven thousand dollars I
can save for them in that way and I
mean that they shall have it."
Alderman Hoverter has been get
ting about the city quietly and has
met thousands of voters. Every
where he has been met in the most
kindly way. His progressive attitude
and his ideas of economy in admin
istration of public affairs have ap
pealed mightily to the rank and
file and, as he says, the indications
are that he will have a sweeping ma
jority next Tuesday.
WILSON FIXES
PRICE OF COAL

was to prevent profiteering or in
creases.
By states the prices are for run
of mine, prepared sizes and slack or
screenings, and vary according to
the mine. They are the same as
those in effect January 31, 1918.
The lowest and higher prices by
states were announced as follows:
Alabama, $2.45 to $4.35.
Colorado, $1.60 to $4.60.
Illinois, $2.05 (lowest).
Kentucky, $2.30 to $1.50.
Ohio, $2.65 to $3.65.
Pennsylvania, $3.25 to $3.65.
Tennessee, $2.75 to $4.50.
West Virginia, $2.45 to $3.00.
Virginia, $2.10 to $3.00.
It was explained that while labor
naturally opposed Government by
injunction, in this case the Govern
ment was moving for the public wel
fare. Inquiry was made at the White
House as to the Government's plan
of action after the Department of
Justice refused to discuss the pur
pose of Assistant Attorney (general
Ames' visit to Indianapolis.
Applications for injunctions will
shift the Government's fight to the
heart of the coal field territory and
will actually mean the first offensive
warfare to prevent industrial chaos
by the closing of the soft coal mines.
Frequent meetings of the Cabinet
will be held to keep in touch with
the situation here.
His Order

follows:
"Whereas, the United States Fuel

February 20, 1919, and to restore to

fraternity, and enlisted in the United
States Army from Chicago campus,
attending the ordnance school; and
winning his second lieutenant's com
mission in Camp Meade. He was
made first lieutenant in Siberia.
George Shaffer a former Harrlsburg
er, now a writer on the Chicago Trib
une has the following to say about
Lieutenant Gerdes:
On Captive List
"After being on the list of the
American Expeditionary forces In Si
beria for three weeks as a captive of
the Bolshevlkl, along with the Amer
ican vice-consul at Ekaterinburg, an
American Red Cross officer, and 10
doughboys. First Lieutenant Paul
William Gerdes, former University of
Chicago basketball and baseball play-
I er, showed up at Omsk on a 9,000-
mile mission of Inspection along the
BAMUHBURG TELEGR3UPEC
trans-Siberian lines from Vladivostok
to the Ural mountains and return.
Word of Gerdes' safety has Just been
received in this pity.
"The officer received orders June 2
to leave the next day for the Ural
mountains for a trip supposedly of
two months. The trip actually took
nearer four months, and in point of
time and distance was the longest
made by an American officer in the
expeditionary forces in Siberia.
Psya Tribute to Kolchak
"Gerdes was in Ekaterinburg dur
ing its evacuation by the forces fight
ing the Reds, and it was at this time
that the last little cluster of Ameri
cans was supposed to have been tak
en prisoner.
"It took three weeks for the Yanks
to make their way to Omsk, where
they were Just in time to counter
mand cables of their capture from
Vladivostok. Gerdes familiarized
himself with the making of the new
arti-Red army, and in letters pays
high tribute to the work of Admiral
Kolchak In holding the army, and in
fact the whole country, from turning
to the side of the Bolshevikl.
Not Nice to Reporters
"Gerdes, who is awaiting his sail
ing date to return to this city, rapped
stories sent from Siberia by war re
porters for eastern papers. These
men have written their accounts from
chairs in Vladivostok, he said, and
their stories are not accurate reflec
tions of conditions in interior Si
beria."

tion of .anthracite mines and the
substitution of wood, actual suffer
ing on the part of the public in the
event of severe weather during the
strike is not believed likely.
Dr. H. A. Garfield said that the
plans contemplated that all ques
tions of allocating coal would be
left to Director General Hines for
settlement. The former, as fuel ad
ministrator, will give his authority
to Mr. Hines' orders, but will not
remain in Washington to undertake
supervision of the work.
Dr. Garfield said that the point
had not yet been reached necessi
tating curtailment of industries, but
if it is necessary eventually the cur
tailment list prepared by the fuel
administration for the War Indus
tries Board during the war probably
would be used. The war industries
on that list, of course, he explained,
would not get the treatment they
did during the war, and might be
cut off altogether.
Price control over anthracite, the
administrator emphasized, would not
be exercised at this time. He made
the statement regarding anthracite
to correct a previous assertion that
the control would cover prices of
both soft and hard coal.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain.
How To Treat.
Medical authorities state that
nearly nine-tenths ot the cases ot
stomach trouble, indigestion, sour
ness, burning, gas biouting, nausea,
etc., are due to an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach and not
as some believe to a lack of diges
tive juices. The delicate stotnach
lining is irritated, digestion is delay
ed and food sours, causing the dis
agreeable symptoms which every
stomach sufferer knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
and instead get from any druggist a
few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
and take a teaspoonful in a quarter
glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stom
ach, prevents the formation of
excess acid and there Is no sourness,
gas or pain. lJlsurated Magnesia (ln
powder or tablet form—never liquid
or milk) is harmless to the stomach,
inexpensive to take and is the most
efficient form of magnesia for stom
ach purposes. It is used by thous
ands of people who enjoy their meals
with no more fear of indigesUon.
