: SHARE OF CASH ENDS WITH YESTERDAY
HIGH SCHOOL WAR
COMES TO AN END
Officials Reach Agreement on
Eligibility; Play All Games
on Schedule

One scholastic hatchet was buried
yesterday AS result of this burial
Central High and Tech will meet in
annual battle on Thanksgiving Day,
Rote will continue in the Central
lineup and the game at Steelton with
Central Highs assured for Saturday.
These results were announced after
O faculty conference held late yester-
day afternoon. Officials from Central,
Tech and Steelton schools were pres
ent. Eligibility of players was the
principal question discussed. 1t was
also decided that the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Association is a good
thing and all schools will enter.
Rote was the principal cause of the
trouble. He has been for several
years. Tech and Steelton officials were
of the opinion that he was ineligible.
Then someone suggested that all high
school athletic associations needed
money. Cash could be had in the an
nual series between local schools and
Steelton and in the Central-Tech game.
No games would mean no cash. Then
came the above proposition, to which
everybody agreed, and the annual
battle ended,

FAILURE OF CROP
CAUSES SUICIDE
Joseph Ledy, Franklin Fruit
Grower, Kills Himself at
GreencaStle
Special to The Telegraph

Greencastle. Pa, Oct. 13.-Joseph
Ledy, a well-known fruit grower of
Franklin county, living at Marion, shot
himself in q bathroom in the Hotel
Mclaughlin here last evening. The
ball entered his temple and death was
instantaneous.
On Monday Mr.. Ledy made an as
signment for the benefit of his cred
itors to j. r. Ruthrauff, al attorney of
Chambersburg. The assets and liza
bilities are figured at $4,000 each,
the assets consisting chiefly of 200
acre fruit orchard and buildings at
Ledy's Station, Mont Alto.
Mr.. Ledy took supper with several
friends at the Hotel Mclaughlin last
evening and appeared to be in good
spirits. His financial troubles were
known to some of his acquaintances
and it is said a company was planned
to take over the fruit farms and work
them out of the slump.
The first crop was not profitable
this year and Mr.. Ledy had counted on
the seasons receipts to wipe out his
Indebtedness. He was 55 years old
and is survived by his wife, a son and
{. daughter.

A SALT ISLAND

The finest table salt produced upon
this hemisphere comes from Carmen
Island, located near the mouth of the
Gulf of California. Although the is
land is not equipped with modern
commercial and manufacturing facili-
ties, thousands of tons of its salt are
annually shipped into the United
States, where 1t is put up in small
packages and sold for table use.
This salt, in its natural state, is so
fine grained and pure that it requires
no refining. The salt beds stretch out
like great fields of snow along the
shores of a small lake. A narrow
gauge railroad transports the salt in
great blocks to the wharf, where it is
packed into the holds of steamers. 1t
is frequently carried as ballast on
trading steamers operating along the
California coast. When a ship has not
appeared for a number of days, great
pyramids of snowy salt may be seen
glittering in the sun.
