2 Held AS Horse Thieves
Men Accused by Middletown Livery
man Are Remanded for Court
on $500 Bail, Each

Especial to the Independently
Middletown, Pa, Dec. 29.-Harry
Sheetz and Morris Mellott, at hearing
before Squire T. G. Smith late yester-
day afternoon, were declared by D.
Miles Sherrick, Water street livery
man, to be the men who on October | O,
last, failed to return a team which
Sherrick alleges they hired from him
early that day. Both were remanded
to jail in default of $4,000 bail, each.
to stand court trial on the charge of
horse stealing.
Both horses have been found. One
was returned to the Hveryman several
weeks ago and the other will be brought
back in a few days. 1t is charged that
the defendants disposed of both the
horses and phaeton wagon. Sheetz
and Mellott were brought to town from
Kttanning where they were arrested
by G. c. Sturm and w. H. Schmuehl,
State policemen.
When taken before Squire Smith the
defendants said they wanted to waive
a hearing, but the Justice questioned
the witnesses. Among them was Fred
Myers, another Middletown liveryman,
who identified the accused men as a
pair who, on October 10, last, sought
in vain to hire team from him.

BRUMBAUGH SHUNS POLITICS
Governor reject, Here To-day, Says He
Has Not Made His Cabinet Selections

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Governor
elect of Pennsylvania, was in Harms
burg to-day, the first time since the
election that gave him a majority vote
over the combined vote of all the other
candidates. DR.. Brumbaugh was here
to attend meeting of the State Board
of Education, his last before he assumes
the position as Governor, as he has ten
dered his resignation to take effect Jan
uary l.
Accompanied by James F. Hyatt, his
personal secretary. DR.. Brumbaugh ar
rived here at 11.30 clock this morn
ING and went at once to the board meet
ing. Later the entire party registered
at the Commonwealth, and after lunch
con the board went to the Technical
High school where the State Educa-
tional Association was holding its an
nual session.
Later the educational board met
again and took up its unfinished busi-
ness.
This evening DR.. Brumbaugh will be
the guest of Governor and Mrs. Tener
at the Executive Mansion, and will
leave for Pittsburgh about | / o clock,
where tomorrow he will meet Republi.
can County Chairman Walter j. Christy
and Republican City Chairman Charles
II. Kline, to confer on the political sit
uation in Allegheny county and discuss
Western Pennsylvania appointments I'M
der his administration.
DR.. Brumbaugh was questioned while
here on the subject of his cabinet APP
pointments but said he had not as yet
made any selections for any of his
cabinet positions. He intends to take
the matter up after his return to Phil
adelphia from the west.
"I have not told anybody about the
makeup of my cabinet" said DR.. Brum-
baugh.
Just who of his immediate family will
accompany the new Governor to Har-
risburg when he takes up his home in
the Executive Mansion is as yet un-
decided. DIR. Brumbaugh said his daugh-
ter, who is school teacher in Philadel-
Yhia, prefers to teach school rather than
come here, but his domestic and social
affairs have yet to be arranged.

Just 1918, But City Electrician Diehl
Is in a Quandary

1t having been duly proclaimed and
spread broadcast that the Court House
bell would boom forth with " LII" "
at midnight, City Electrician Diehl,
after trying to find the man who first
said it and being unsuccessful is now
doping out a plan whereby he can sat
isfy the demand
Assistant Fire Chief Edward Halbert
advanced the idea that man be sta
toned at fire alarm box No. 10 to pull
it at that time, to be followed closely
by pull from box No. 10, but that was
not feasible because four rounds of each
figure would ring and not only from
the Court house but from every other
bell in the fire house, hence the result
would be "19-19-19-19-15-15- 15-15-1o. ("
Besides, argued Mr.. Diehl, "that
would tie up the fire alarm system for
some time, and we can't do that So
he is now engaged in doping out sys-
tenn by which he can strike the nu-
merals representing the new year with

late WAR news summary

Russian announcements of defeats of
the Germans are disputed to-day by the
Berlin War Office, which states that the
attacks of the invading armies in Po-
land have made progress and that
strong Russian assaults have been re.
pelled. No mention is made, however,
of the situation in Galicia, where the
Russians are described as having in.

of the first objectives of the armies OF

In France and Belgium the fighting

bow MAN PROPOSES new
cuts IN WATER RATES
Introduces Ordinance That Would Bene-

Revenue Annually to Department

man, Commissioner of Public Safety.
under an ordinance he introduced at
the meeting of the City Commissioners
this afternoon
Inc measure passed first reading and
VIII come up for second reading and
nhal passage at next weeks meeting.
unlike other reductions Mr.. Bowman
made in the waite. rates, both this wear
and last, this cut will affect generally
the private families and the hotels and
restaurants. Under the present rate of
l2R cents per 100 cubic feet-75O
gallons-the consumer is allowed to
utilize 1000 cubic feet of water for the
annual charge of So.
The reduced rate will be 10 cents
per 100 cubic feet, so that for the mini.
mum charge of $5 the consumer will
be allowed to ase 5000 cubic feet of
water In letter which accompanied
the ordinance reducing the rates Mr..
Bowman said:
This new rate also benefits the
small manufacturer, hotels, restaurant
keepers and all users of water who
heretofore have paid the 12h- cent
rate.'
This reduction alone, according to
Mr.. Bowman, will mean a cut in the
annual revenues of the Water Depart.
ment of something like $22,S10.10.
However, that is but one of three
rates that will be reduced For those
consumers-principally the large no
tels-now using less than 5000 gallons
of water daily the rate will be changed
from 10 cents per 1000 gallons to 9
cents.
Half cent, it is proposed, also will
be deducted from the rate charged con-
sumers whose daily average is not less
than 5000 gallons and not more than
10000. This rate heretofore has been
Sh cents per 1000 gallons, whereas
the ordinance provides only 8 cents
shall be charged.
Mr.. Bowman informed his colleagues
that the Water Department is entirely
able to stand the reduction in its reve-
nues, since the unexpended balances
and excess revenues this year will
amount to something like $S0,216.45.
