STATE INSURES
ITS OWN AUTOS
Ruling Made in Regard to
Cars Made by the Attor
ney General
In an opinion given to the De
partment of Public Grounds and
Buildings to-day it is held that cas
ualties to State-owned automobiles
whether from tire or any other cause,
are covered by the State Fire Insur
ance Fund. This does away with
necessity for placing insurance on
cars owned by the State or liability.
Objection to the new rates of the
Petroleum Telephone Company were
made to-day at the Public Service
Commission" by urepresentatives of
Oil City and Titusville and objections
also heard to a crossing by the
Schuylkill Railway over Lehigh
Valley tracks in Shenandoah. In the
Graybill case from Mt. Holly, owner
of an electric plant was asked to
show cause why he did not rebuild
his plant and give service as order

"At eighty I feel just as spry and
acUve as I did 15 years ago," said
Mrs. M. J. Wolff. 1200 W. Montgom
ery ave., Phila. "Until recently,
however, I was beginning to slow
up, due to nervous debility ami a.
run-down system. I lost my appe
tite; food didn't taste right and I
couldn't sleep peacefully. A neigh
bor urged me to try Tanlac. My ap
petite increased and my food digest
ed the way it should. Tanlac also
quieted my nerves." Tanlac is a
boon to the aged. Debility, which is
so common among old and young,
wears the victim away as it gathers
force and nourishes itself upon your
very life blood. Tanlac acts like
magic when it brings back restful
sleep, sound digestion, more vitality,
and drives away that detested, de
sp'ondent feeling so quickly that it
actually astonishes you. The genu
ine Tknlac is sold here by all leading I
druggists. |

Dauphin County Is Free
of Contagious Diseases
Thut there huve been few cases of
serious contagious diseases in Har
risburg and Dauphin county during
November while many other com
munities were reporting mild epi
demics, was the statement Dr. J.
M. J. Raunlck, city health officer,
made lust night at a meeting of the
Dauphin County Medical Society
held at the llarrisburg Academy of
Medicine.
List month there were fourteen
I casea of diphtheria, fifteen of acar
! let fever and two of typhoid fever In
■ Uarrisburg. In the county a few
j oast's of diphtheria and scarlet fever
were reported front Steelton and
: Mlddlotown, but generally health
j conditions are as good us in Har
! risbufg where few cases or serious
' discuses are on record.
Dr. J. Soils-Cohen, of Phtladel
i phia, an expert on-the treatment of
I pneumonia, gavS*a talk on handling
"cases of that disease. • The Medical
Society meeting was well atended and
i officers are planning for similar ones

MEXICO PLACES
MURDER MUDDLE
[Continued from First l'oge.]
I So they have used every means pos
sible to get certain evidence to cover
up their absurd pretensions.
"I have never, in all my life .seen
such a farce as they are carrying out
here, for I have been condemned
without being allowed to present a
single witness in my behalf, though
I had them ready, and even presented
them to the courts, but was told that
they were too busy to hear them. At
the present moment (November 21)
the secretary of the embassy of Mex
ico City is here taking this testimony
tlint it may he presented to the
State Department, inasmuch as the
courts refuse to accept it.
"I have plenty of testimonies to
offset any false evidence that they
can possibly produce, but as I say.
Mexican justice is of a certain brand
at the present time and it can't be
changed."
Pressure to Be Brought
to Bear on Mexico to
Bring Jenkins' Release
By Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 3.—State De
partment officials were marking
time to-day awaiting word from
Mexico City of the official delivery
of the latest American note to the
Mexican government and the subse
quent action inspired by .it. The
| message was garbled in transmission
and this delayed its presentation to
President Carranza. *
In some quarters it was believed
that Carranza would orqer the re
lease of Jenkins soon after receiving
the message and prevent a complete
break between his government and
the United States. Private advices
from Mexico indicated that some of
the Mexican officials were not tak
ing the negotiations seriously and
felt that it involved only an inter
change of diplomatic notes and
would result amicably.
A different attitude was evident
at the State Department, however,
wheret the situation was being con
sidered grlively. Should Carranza
continue to hold out against the
American government's request to
release American Consular Agent
Jenkins without delay, pressure was
expected to be brought which would
force Mexico to accede to the de
mands.
GAS SUPPLY IS
THREATENED
[Continued on Page 27.j
it is expected that the Steelton plant
will receive a sufficient supply of
fuel to keep the gas producing fur
[ nances, at least, in operation.
The blast furnace, which has been
closed down, No. E, had recently
been relined pnd had been in oper
ation only a month, while the Bes
semer mill was in operation only a
small part of the time. No employes
will be laid off by reason of these
fires being banked, officials say, stat
ing that all such employes will be
transferred to other departments.
Hand-to-Mouth Use
The Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending Company and several other
city establishments are operating in
a hand-to-mouth manner. The Pipe
Bending Company yesterday re
ceived a shipment of twelve cars of
coal, which will be sufficient to con
tinue all departments in operation
until to-morrow night, according to
David E. Tracy.
Whether other shipments will be
received until that time, Mr. Tracy
could not say to-day. In the event
that no other of the ordered sup
plies are received until that time, he
said, it will be necessary to close
down the steel-producing depart
ments. The other departments would
he continued in operation for some
time, at least. Just how many em
ployes would be affected at the start.
Mr. Tracy was unable to say to-day.
The Harrisburg Light and Power
Company has not yet received notice
of anv restrictions on its operation,
and has not in any manner, cur
tailed its operation. This company
is dependent to a large extent on river
coal and no especial danger is fore
seen bv its officials.
Train Service Curtailed
Effective Sunday. December 7. all
Sunday excursions in the Allegheny
region, which includes Harrisburg,
will be cut out. This is an order
from L. W. Baldwin, regional direc
tor. and was sent out last night. It
is the first step in the effort to con
serve more coal. If there is no re
lief other trains may be taken off.
Harrisburg was to have two excur
sions on Sunday, one by the Pennsy
and the other on the Reading. An
other excursion from Altoona was
to pass through Harrisburg Sunday
morning.
The excursions canceled include
the one on the Reading Railway
from Philadelphia to Scranton; on
the Pennsylvanlaßailroad from New
York, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Al
toona, Scranton, Wllkes-Barre and
other Pennsylvania points to Wash
ington; Atlantic City division points
to Washington ;Longßranch points to
Philadelphia; Oxford branch points
to Philadelphia, and Monongahelu
division points to Pittsburgh.

Guests Fruzn Other Cities
j The Rotarians had as their guests
i last evening Elmer L. Schuyler, for
merly of the Telegraph staff, now
[ editor of the Gazette and Bulletin,
Wiliianisport, and the Rovf C. Baty
less, of the Baltimore Club, who ap
peared in behalf of the candidacy
of Frank S. Chavennes, president of
jthe Baltimore Club and head of the
Chesapeake Iron Works of that city,
i whose friends have induced him to
stand for district governor next year.
| The election will take place in Scran
j ton in April and already Mr. Cha-
I vennes has received the endorsement!
!of a number of the clubs for the
I office.
j The Rotarians after the meeting
were taken to the plant of the Bell
company in Walnut street where |
they were shown the workings of the
mechanical system that connects up
the Bell phones in the Harrisburg
district, as well as the operations of
the long distance lines. Mr. Fetter
and the corps of Bell men in attend
ance took the Rotarians from cellar
to garret, but the visitors were most
interested in the local exchange
where despite the fact that the hour
was quiet; the girls were busy as
bees in front of the great switch
board where all connections are
made when calls are received. The
girls work at high tension all the
time and after observing their ac
| tivity and the. efforts made to make
all connections promptly and effi
ciently, together with the nature of
the wm|k involved, more than one
Rotarinli was heard to remark:
"Weill, I'll never again call down
a telephone exchange girl for some
fancied delay."
After the demonstration the mem- :
bers were taken to the restroom
where the telephone girls enjoy their I
rest periods. The work is hard but j
the company gives time Off for re- !
creation and the room provided is
handsomely furnished and is provid
ed with a Victrola and reading mat
ter. On the first floor is a small res- i
taurant where the girls are given
their lunches at cost and where the
Rotarians were given a sample of
the fare provided for them. They
greatly enjoyed their trip through
the plant and went home with, a;
new idea of the volume and scope of I
the telephone business.
Red Cross Plans to
Give Christmas Cheer
The Home Service Section of the I
local American Red Cross chapter be- )
lieves there are many families in and !
around Harrisburg which will have j
little or no Christinas this year un- >
less it is provided for them.
They are preparing to give these
families the needfuls as well as candy,
toys an<i.things which will delight the i
youngsters.
The undertaking is a large one. for
the list of names in Red Cross head- \
quarters is formidable. Consequent
ly assistance for those who would be'!
willing to purchase such articles as:
the Red Cross knows are needed, or!
who would be willing to give funds j
to the Red Cross for the purchase of t
such articles, would be welcomed. I
There are quite a number of fami-!
lies nearhv, the fathers of which
were either killed or incapacitated |
during the war. The Rod Cross has a
very definite obligation to these fam
ilies, and one of their pieces of work j
for them will provide Christmas ;
cheer.
Help in whatever form it is elacted j
to render it. will be most; welcome, j

Church Split Argued
Before Judge Kunkel;
Pastor Claims Property
"Is this a war over shadows or
substances?" President Judge
George Kunkel asked this morning
in court when attorneys were argu
ing about the admission of evidence
and th# differences which resulted
in a division in tho congregation of
tlio Holy Communion Lutheran
Church, Seventeenth and State
streets, and a court suit about
which side has the right to the
church property.
It Is contended by some of the
members of the congregation that
the church here was bound by the
decision of the General Council of
the Lutheran Church to merge with
other Lutheran organizations and
form the United Lutheran Church.
The pastor, the Rev. John Henry
Miller, together with others of the
congregation, contend that they arc
not bound by the action of the Gen
eral Council, and will not agree to
enter the United Lutheran organi
zation because of alleged differences
in its constitution as compared
with the constitution of the Generul
Council.
J. L. Cressniafl and George W.
Zimmerman, two of the plaintiffs,
were the only witnesses heard this
morning. They contend in the
equity suit which they have filed iu
the county court that the pastor of
the church and others of the congre
gation not agreeing to the merger
have no right to the church prop
erty.
Prominent Lutheran clergymen
from the eastern part of the coun
try have been present in court dur
ing the hearing of the case and the
decision which will be given by
Judge Kunkel is one which will af
fect many other Lutheran churches
throughout the country, all of whom
were affected by the merging df the
three large Lutheran bodies into tlie
United Lutheran Church.
