In answer to the charge that the State

which it would be equitably entitled.

An Ancient Dyke In Maine.

The eminent Boston geoogist, Arthur
E. Wilson, who has been visiting Mr..
and Mrs. William H. Couch of Riggsvile,
Maine, has made several remark able
findings in that section, one of which is
great dyke running across from the
mainland under the sea and cropping out
on one of the five islands now owned by
the Rev. DR.. Boynton of New York.
Prof. Wilson remarks on the wonderful
natural attractions of this part of the
coast and thinks it especially rich in
geological materials. 1t is anticipated
that a volume will be brought out this
fall on the geological findings by the
eminent professor.

THE BELFAST BALL TEAM.
A straightforward Statement from the
Manage ment.

Manae. ment
The following statement, regarding tne
trouble in the Eastern Name OaseDaii
LEAGUE. has been issued in defense OF the
Belfast team: early last spring nei1ast
was induced to enter baseDal league
with Bangor, Brewer and Old Town. we
were somewhat timid about Undertaking
the Job, for it is quite proposition TOT
little city of 6, 600 people to compete Wild
places situated as Bangor, Brewer ana
Old Town are, whose aggregate popuia-
ton, connected by trolley cars, Is more
than six times our own. Having consent.
ed to do so. however, we went ABOUT IN
businesslike way and obtained the imam
cial aid, backing, and good will OF almost
every business man in the city. many
said thew could not attend the games,
others that they cared not for the sport,
but each and every one went down into
his pocket aid came up with the dough
in order that we might have somethlng
going on that would entertain our SUM
mer visitors and tend to keep our people
at home. (,
"Having obtained this lacking the
management went out looking Tor play
ers. They hired in all Is men, three OF
whom proved too slow tor our needs ana
had to be canned at the end of the hrst
week. Since then we have carried ~
men at a total expense Of STA week,
and the management and the eltlzens
feel that they were worth 1t. NO more
gentlemanly, agreeable and capable lot
of young players could be gotten to-
gether anywhere and we are sorry to
have to part with them through no fault
of our own.
"Our up-river antagonists thought they
were large enough to run their teams
from the gate receipts but it proved to
be losing venture and one OF them IS
said to be in the hole to the tune OF about
suit Brewer and now they won't play
any longer because we are too fast.
Belfast people like to see good base
ball and no team will ever come here
that is too good for them to enjoy. We
feel down here that we have been used
by the other members of the
league"

BRINGING A BIG SHIP INTO NEW YORK
HARBOR.

When the new Cunard liner. the 9O1 #

finest ships in the world, finished it,
maiden trip across the Atlantic from
Liverpool with l, or passengers on board
June 5, 1914, it was required. before he.
ing allowed to enter New York Harbor
and tie up at it's dock, to undergo the
same rigid quarantine and custom in
spections and to follow exactly the same
procedure as if it had been the most n.
significant tramp steamer. The formal
tiles connected with getting into mort of

only an illustration on large scale are
described in a Handsomely illustrated
article appearing in the August Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The work is
handled by men who are highly trained
and it is ordinarily carried out in an
astonishingly short time, even with the
biggest ships, considering the amount
of work that is done.
Every ship coming into New York Har-
Dor from foreign port must lie to or
anchor off the quarantine station situated
on Staten Island just inside the limits of
the Lower Bay, and must remain in that
position until it has been inspected and
given clean bill of health by the health
officer of the port. One of the rules of
the harbor is that the quarantine boat
come up to an incoming vessel on the
port side. A careful examination! is
made by the quarantine officers to dis
cover any cases of contagious disease,
and if any are discovered, the infected
passengers, as well as all those who have
been exposed, are taken to the detention
hospital on Hoffman's Island, in the
Lower Bay, while the ship itself may be
held in quarantine for several days or
even weeks. if cholera. yellow fever or
other epidemic diseases are discovered.
Until this examination is finished no per-
son other than the health officers is al
lowed to board or leave the vessel. the
restriction applying even to the customs
officers.
The last incident before docking is the
arrival of the post Office boat, which
meets the incoming ship as its enters the
Hudson River, takes off all the frst-class
mail and PUSHES it to the post office in
New York City. The mail transfer is
not allowed to interfere in any way with
the progress of the ship, as the post
office boat is simply taken in tow and the
transfer is made as the ship steams up
the river.

An unusual sentence was pronounced
by Mayor Royal in police court this

he was dead drunk.

BICELOW Wins ROAD FIGHT
Judge McCarrell Quashes Indictment in
Schuylkill County Action Against
the Highway Commissioner

The authorities of seve townships
in Schuylkill county recently brought
suit against State Highway Commits
sioner Bigelow, charging him with
criminal negligence in not caring for
the township roads, as was held to be
his duty under the law. The matter
was several times postponed and
finally the Supreme Court was asked
for a change of venue on the ground
that public opinion was such that Mr..
Bigelow could not get fair trial in
Schuylkill.
This request was granted and the
case remanded to the Dauphin county
court for trial. The matter was argued
at length before Judge MeCarrell and
a motion was made by Bigelow's at
torneys to quash the Indictment.
To-day Judge McCarrell handed
down an opinion quashing the indict-
ment and saying that, under the cir
cumstances, as shown by the evidence,
the State Highway Commissioner had
done the best he could in apportioning
State road aid money to the townships
and that his action with respect to the
Schuylkill county roads was in no way
criminal.

Harrisburg's Wants
TALKS OF MORE

Pursuant to a resolution adopted at
their meeting on Tuesday, the City
Commissioners already are mapping out
plans for 1915 expenditures by pre-
pairing schedules of what they consid-
er to be the city's needs and making
tentative arrangements for further i'm.
provement work to be paid for out of
the several City loans
The Commissioners now say they are
certain it will be impossible to reduce
the tax rate and, while some will not
say that there will be an increase, they
admit that they are likely to encounter
hardships in taking care of the 1915
business with the present rate of reve-
nue.. This situation, they say, is ere
ated chiefly through the fact that all
revenues derived from the 9b tax rate
levied for the present 9month fiscal
"year' have been appropriated under
the 1914 budget. Also the balances
that will be available for taking care
of the appropriations until August,
next, when the 1915 taxes will start
coming in, are not very great.
When the budget was made up a
year ago, shortly after the commission

the Commissioners realized that the
revenues under the old tax rate-nine

Trio of Enola Railroad
Men Still Suffering
From Injuries Re-

AUTO TURNED
A SOMERSAULT
Jamison' IS Leg Broken and Arm Torn
From Socket-James Mccormick S
Ribs Fractured-Percival White
Bruised and Battered

Glenn Jamison, of Enola, whose left
leg was broken above the ankle and
right arm torn from its socket when
an automobile in which he was riding
turned completely over in the road
about half a mile this side of Colum-
bia, was taken to his home in the cross
river railroad town last evening. Two
others, also of Enola, who were less
severely injured, were taken home on
the night of the accident. 1t occurred
last Monday.
James Mccormick, conductor in
the Enola yards, and Percival White,
of Enola, were with Jamison headed
toward Columbia in car belonging to
Mccormick. When half a mile outside
that city Mccormick turned curve in
the road and Unexpectedly the car ran
into breaker" which turned the
machine into gutter.
The right front wheel was twisted
from the ear which turned complete
somersault righting itself alongside the
road after the revolution. All of the
men were hurt under the machine
when it rolled over.
1t is believed that Mccormick has
several fractured ribs. He was taken
to his home on Monday night and has
since been confined to his bed. He
has severe pains in his side. White,
who was the least injured of the three,
is able to be about.
All were taken at first to the Co.
lumbia hospital where, after treat
ment, Mccormick and White were sent
to their homes the same night. Jami-
sons condition was such that he could
not be moved from the hospital until
yesterday. The machine, badly dam
aged, also was sent to Enola yester-
day.

Senator Beidelman "Rings i'm Some
Extra Guests When Mercer B. Tate
Pays Election Wager With Feast
at Cold Spring Cottage

When political interest was at its
highest pitch in Harrisburg just before
the last election and small wagers were
being laid on the result in Harrisburg
and Dauphin county, Senator f. e. Bel
delman met Mercer B. Tate, and there
was discussion as to who would ear
ry Harrisburg and Dauphin county
among the candidates for Governor.
Senator Beidelman, full of the faith
that was in him that Dr. Brumbaugh
would win out, proposed small wager
that Mccormick, for Governor, would
not carry Harrisburg. Mr.. Tate at once
accepted the wager, also being full of
the faith that MrN Mccormick would
carry his own city.
Then Senator Beidelman, accumulat-
ing more faith as the argument pro
ceeded, offered wager that McCor-
mick would not carry Dauphin county,
which Mr.. Tate promptly accepted.
Emboldened by the faith that was al
ready distending his diaphragm, Sena-
tor Beidelman further offered wager
of dinner for ffteen-turkey and
tixin 's-that he would win the two
wagers he had already made with Mr..
Tate. Mr.. Tate, being game and still
fuller of the faith, took the bet, de.

turned out in Harrisburg and Dauphin
