LYING ON STRETCHER
|. BOY TESTIF|ES THAT
| HE WAS SET AT IRE
Charges Enterline Pair With Civ.
ing Him Liquor; Lad May
Never Recover

Paul Sidney Erb. aged Is years, 236
| Charles street, who has been cripple
since July 3, was brought to the office
of Alderman c. f. Murray on a
stretcher this afternoon, to give testi-
mony against Mrs. Anna and Joseph
Ablitz, of Enterline, who are charged
with furnishing liquor to minors.
The old police ambulance was used
TO convey Young Erb from his home.
| The stretcher was placed across two
chairs in front of Alderman Murray S
desk so that the boys testimony
could be heard.
On July 3, while on a visit to the
| Ablitz home on a farm near Enter
line. it is alleged that Joseph Alitz
set fire to a sparkler which was stick
| ing from the pocket of Paul Erb. The
! boy had i nhis pockets other spark
lers, and a box of matches, which
were exploded. Young Erb's leg was
so badly burned that he has never
since been able to walk.
The suit, it is said. is a forerunner
of other suits to follow-one for neg
lectfi in not caring for the boy prop
erly and another for damages. Young
Erb testified to having been furnished
liquor by the AblitZ family.
Charges were preferred against. the
Abitz pair for furnishing liquor to
Young Erb on July 3.

DISCUSS REVISION
Of CLARK ACT FOR
THIRD CLASS CITIES
Special Committee of City Solici.
tors and Mayors Meet to
Revise Clark Act

All the third class city solicitors
and several of the mayors of Penn
sylvania met in City Council chamber
this afternoon and discussed sugges-
tions for the revision of the Clark COM
mission form of government law.
At the recent convention of the
Pennsylvania Third Glass City League
lat Meadville the delegates talked
about the beneficiary results that
would obtain by revising sections of
the act pertaining to the police pow
ers, the dates for collection of taxes,
the compilation of assessments, the
conduct of affairs by city manager
and a dozen or more others.
That certain radical changes are
necessary along these lines was gen.
orally conceded, and, in order to have
the suggestions placed before the Leg
islature at its session this winter, it
was decided to have them threshed
out by a special committee. This con-
sists of the law committee, including
all the city solicitors and Mayors John
X. Royal, Harrisburg; William ].
Stern, Erie: William Ward, Jr., Ches-
ter, and Ira w. Stratton. Reading.
The special committee held its first
meeting this afternoon and it was de-
Cided to vest the work of making the
necessary revisions in the hands of
a subcommittee consisting of three or
five members.
one of the principal subjects dis
cussed was the referendum. Under
the provisions of the Clark act it is
only possible to make the referendum
effective by obtaining 90 per cent. of
the voters of the previous election for
the referring petition. The method
whereby the petition is framed is the
point upon which there is considerable
contention. Not only does the paper
require 90 per centum of the voters.
but it must be signed and certified to
before the city clerk. And the most
unsatisfactory feature about it all is
the time-only ten days being allowed
for the purpose. In Harrisburg this
would mean that from $500 to 5000
voters would have to so to the city
clerks office within ten days and sign
the paper.

Mr.. Lindabury began his argument
after Jacob NJ Dickinson, chief coun-
sci for the government in the disso-
luton suit. had concluded his opening
address of six and one-haif hours. Mr..
Dickinson ended by declaring that the
Steel Corporation had used it's power
more to exact noncompetitive high
prices from the public than to destroy
competitors. Referring to interlock-
ing directoratcs. he declared that
when the suit was begun against the
Steel Corporation its directors were
interested in companies that controlled
nearly so per cent. of the railroad
mileage of the country.
