MAN BEATEN AT
PRIMARIES WINS
Says He Will Not Take Office
Because Victory Was
Through Error
Gettysburg, Pa., Nov. 18—A mud
dle has developed following the
announcement of the results of the
recent election in Cumberland
township. The thing goes back to
the primaries in September when
Sentman 8. Schriver was one of a
number of aspirants for the Repub
lican nomination for the office of
supervisor of that township.
Shriver was defeated, but in some
way his name was certified to the
county commissioners as elected
and his name printed on the bal
lot. At the polls this month Schri
ver, with one of the other men on
the ticket, was elected to be a su
pervisor, an office for which two
men were to be elected, the other
two of the four candidates being
tie. He now says he will not accept
the office as he could not legally
have hi 3 name on the ballot when
he was defeated at the primaries,
and will resign. To straighten out
the muddle it is likely the two men
who were tie will draw straws and
the court will be asked to appoint
the winner.

Wilson Vetoes Bill
Restoring Commerce
Body to Prewar Basis
By Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 18. President
Wilson to-day veteod the bill restor
ing to the Interstate Commerce
Commission its prewar rate-making
powers.
The President's veto message will
be transmitted to-day to the Sen
ate in which the bill originated.
Chairman Cummins of the Inter
state Commerce Committee, author
of the bill, said it was not likely
that any attempt would be. made to
pass the measure over the President's
veto, as the rate-making powers of
the commission would be restored
when the roads were returned to
private operation, January 1.
Senator Cummins said the Presi
dent's action was hot a surprise.
The President said the immediate
effect of the proposed law would be
to deprive the Federal Government
of the ability "to cope promptly and
decisively with operating emergencies
which are now arising and must con
tinue to arise during the existing
period of heavy traffic."
Validity of Dry Law
to Be Argued in Court
Washington, Nov. 18. —Arguments
on the validity of the wartime pro
hibition act will be heard by the
Supreme Court Thursday, but a de
cision is not expected before De
cember 8 when the court recon
venes after a recess announced to
begiiF next Monday.
The arguments are on appeals
from two decisions rendered last
week in New York, upholding the
constitutionality of the wartime pro
hibition act. A similar appeal.from
the Kentucky decision declaring the
act unconstitutional will be heard
on the same day.

FURTHER CRIME
Hearing Held to Determine
Mental Status of Man
Who Slew Aunt

Pedutti, who slew his aunt and bene
factress at Mount Carmel last sum
mer, is a dangerous paranoic, ac
cording to the finding of a lunacy
commission which returned its con*
elusion to the Northumberland
county court here to-day. He may
commit further murder, the commis
sion fears.
The hearing was held at the coun
ty prison, where the young man sat
in a dazed condition throughout its
progress, asking only when he might
go home. John Merinolli, whose
wife Pedutti murdered, was not at
the hearing, although Merinolli, also
was shot at the time.
District Attorney Strouse, who
conducted the hearing, was of the
opinion that slayer would be i
sent to Farview, the nearest asylum j
for the criminal insane. When a
homeless waif the Merinolli family j
gave Pedutti shelter and reared him
in their household. Instead of being i
grateful he killed the woman who!
had been as a mother to him.
"No matter what his condition
may have been at the time of the
crime," said the District Attorney
to-day, "he certainly- cannot be tried :
as long as he is crazy."

that make it unsafe for American
citizens there."
Millerstown's Welcome

and Walter A. Smith.
Russell It. Kohr, of New Cumber
land, says:
"As you doubtless know, we have
already organized a post a. New
Cumberland. ;| am pot authorized
to give the sentiment of the entire
organization on this matter but,
Personally, 1 feel we would not euro
to lose, our identity and unite with
so many other towns. i have
spoken to several of the officers of
our local post concerning this pro
posed organization. They told the
same views. I feel that we as ser
vice men from this vicinity will get
more out of our own local organiza
tion ffnd have less friction than if
we unite with so many others.
There are arguments in favor of a
West Shore Post but I feel that that
argument is against such an or
ganization."
