Dyestuff Problem Holds
Attention of Local Plants

DR.. Thomas H. Norton, commercial
agent of the Department of Commerce
at Washington, is now in New York
to investigate the dyestuff problem and
to cooperate with manufacturers and
others in bringing about our inde-
pendence of Germany in the matter of
future supplies of this sort. He was
chosen by the Department for this
task because of his training, long ex-
perience and knowledge of the subject
in all of its phases.
Harrisburg is greatly interested in
the dye situation, two or three local
concerns requiring the dyes for the
manufacture of their products. It is
said that one of the concerns was of
fered a phenomenal profit on it's dyes
in stock and that many thousands of
dollars could have been turned over
by closing the plant and selling the
dyes instead of continuing operations.

Cured on the night of August 27,
when Shuman returned home and Il
is claimed, found them both in an in
toxicated condition. An argument
arose. 1t is said and blows were ex-
changed. The daughter struck back
and her infuriated father knocked her
dewn, then kicked her time after
time. 1t is alleged. Neighbors said he
attacked her a second time on the fol-
lowing Monday when she was still
weak and Ill from the previous beat
ing.
Admits He Was Rough
When taken to the police station.
Saturday night Shuman declared his
innocence. He told of the many times
he returned home from work and
found his wife and daughter. who were
dressmakers in an intoxicated condi-
ton. This and other more disagree
able sights, he said unnerved him. He
did not deny having fought with his
wife and daughter but said he didn t
strike the latter in the face.
II do not deny 1 used the girl a bit
roughly, ne admitted, but l was
prompted to punish her by her re-
peated misconduct. Both she and her
mother drink. and. frequently, 1 came
home from work tired. only to find no
supper for me. I spanked the girl, as
any father would, but 1 never kicked
her"
He was held without bail The local
police say that the complication of
diphtheria in the case will make 1t a
technical question as to whether or not
the girl died of disease or injuries.
Ousted From Force
Shuman is widely known through
out the city and after resigning as an
engineer for the Pennsylvania rail-
road following a wreck, opened a dry
goods store at Sixth and Maclay
streets some years ago. Later he pur-
chased a hotel at Third and Broad
streets. Several years ago he sold it
and was appointed chauffeur of the
ambulance and police patrol by Mayor
Meals. He was ousted from the force
at the beginning of Mayor Royals ad-
ministrauon.
The Shumans have been in straight
ened circumstances recently, it is said
After being ousted from the police
force, Shuman secured a position as
hostler with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
