FOOD INSPECTION
MEASURE PASSES:
POLICE BILL IS IN
Mayor Opposes Ordinances as
Usual; Provides Assistant City
Solicitor

The ordinances creating the new
department of food inspection with its
two inspectors, the assistant health
officer, and the assistant to the City
Solicitor were passed finally by City
Council this afternoon by a vote of
to 2.
Mayor John K. Royal and Commits
sioner w. l.. Gorgas together voted
against all the measures, the Mayor
that the offices were not necessary
and that the new jobs were expendi-
ture of additional money.
The Mayor indicated his determine
ton to oppose the new measures with
the reading of the ordinance providing
for the abolishing of the present po-
sition of clerk and stenographer to
the City Solicitor, and creating the
office of assistant city solicitor in
stead. The new office carries an in
crease in salary of $1,500 to S1,8OO
per year. The present incumbent, E.
Bruce Taylor, will be retained as
assistant solicitor.
The Mayor said he did not question
the compete ncy of Taylor, but protest
ed against increases in salary when,
as he said, the duties will be the same.
Taylor is not yet a member of the bar
and the Mayor raised this point, too.
Lynch Comes Back
Commissioner Lynch quoted cities
who not only pay their city solicitor
more money than Harrisburg, but who
pay in addition clerk and stem
ographer and messenger in the same
department.
The Mayor insisted that the clerks
job will be the same, and Commits

BOY WHO SHOT MAN
At B|LLMYER SUNDAY
WILL HAVE HEARING
Coroner's Jury Finds Vivian Ar.
nette Wilfully Killed Unof-
Tending Slavonian
Special to The TsIegrobs

Marietta, Pa, March 24.-An In
quest on the body of the Slavyonian,
No 952, who was shot to death by vi
Wan Annette, at cambridge on Sunday
afternoon was held last evening at
seven o'clock at the Office Of DR.. w. 7.
Worth. at Bainbridge, and Immediately
afterwards the jury viewed the body
in the undertaking parlors of Harry
Hawthorne, who has J ready for bur-
ial. The man who was killed was
Steve Filipac, SO years old and he had
been at the quarries about two years.
He was man of very quiet habits
and his llow-countrymen seem very
much affected by the death, which
they claim was uncalled for. The lad,
Vivian Annette, was brought from
Lancaster on the evening train, and is
now at his home, having been released
on bail. The young man gives no mo-
tive for the crime.
Filipac had been seated in the out
building at the Annette home with the
door open, when the lad walked to
within twenty feet of the man and
fired three shots. The second shot
penetrated the body over the left kid
ney. He walked towards the lad
about fifteen feet and fell dead. A
number of witnesses were heard, and
more will likely de. elop at the hear
ing.
/ :. uty Coroner S. S. steffy, with
his physician. DIR. w. T. Worth, en-
paneled the following jury: william
Keenard. Harry Steffy. Philip Libhart,
Frank Croft, Austin Hawthorne and
George Hawthorne. The jury decided
that the death was the result of gun
wound by being shot wilfully with a
revolver in the hands of Vivian Ar
net-e." The hearing of the lad will be
held at the office of Squire Samuel b.
Gramm some evening during the
week. The lad was brought from
Lancaster and after the hearing he
said that he was going to his home
at Billmeyer, his father accompanying
him. The boy seems very nervous
about the matter, and only realizes
what has been done. After the hear
ing and giving of testimony, Under
taker Hawthorne prepared the body
for burial, and 1t was buried this
morning in the cambridge Cemetery.
His fellow countrymen attended the
funeral in body.

Trade Insurance

Advertising is trade insurance.
1t not only builds but conserves.
1t creates good will, makes
customers, yand retains them.
1t reduces the cost of doing
business by increasing the
volume and In cutting the
costs makes 1t possible to give
greater advantages to the GUS
toners.
1t Is to the advantage OF the
buyer to trade with an advertis-
ed house because that concern
is doing business with modern
methods.
Read over the advertising In
to-day's Telegraph and II will
be clear that the houses making
their appeal for your patronage
are the representative concerns
of the community.
Think of the businesses in the
same line that do not advertise
that Is, II you can remember
their names-and then do a little
mental comparison.
It's not hard to see that tho
men who deserve your support
are the men who are advertising
and making good on their prom
