School Board to Elect
President December 6

The Harrisburg school board will
meet for reorganization December 1,
when the three new mem bers will take
their seats. A. Carson Stamm, Rob
ert A. Enders and DIR. c. E.. L. Keene,
who We're elected this month, will sue
ceed Charles $. Foil, George w. Ken
nedy and Millard +. Saul.
A new president will be elected to
succeed Harry a. Boyer, who will not
be n candidate for reelection despite
the urgings of some of his friends who
would like to see him establish a rec
ord for service as head of the board
which he would do if reelected this
time. Quite few of the directors
are looking toward a. Carson Stamm
as logical man for president, in
view of the fact that he was elected
on all three party tickets. Adam d.
Houtz, a hold-over member of the
board, has also announced his candi-
dacy.
The other hold-over members are
VIM. S. Boil, Harry NJ. Bretz, George
A. Werner and DIR. VIM. n. Yates.

ton made by the authorities when the

WORMLEYSBURG
GRADE CROSSING
MAY BE CLOSED
Residents of Town and Near
by Farmers Want Another
Road Opened
CAMP HILL INTERESTED
Enlarging of Culvert Would
Eventually Lead to Build
ing of Boulevard

Viewers appointed by the Cumber-
land county court to ascertain whether
the grade crossing over the Pennsyl-
vania and Northern Central Railroad
tracks at Ferry street, Wormleysburg,
shall be closed, met this morning at
10 o'clock at that place.
The viewers, William B. Oyler, of
MELVILLE, Samuel J. Tritt. of Penn
township, and II. 3. Craig, of Ship
pensburg, traversed the road which
crosses the tracks and were accom-
panied by number of attorneys from
Harrisburg and Carlisle who represent
ed railroad interests, the borough of
Wocmleysburg and East Pennsboro
township. The viewers within the
next few weeks will hear testimony in
the court room at Carlisle after which
they will make their report.
Residents OF Wormleysburg, w. E.
Brinton and NJ. p. Keister to whose
farms the road leads, and the viewers
themselves appear to agree with
the railroad that the crossing
is dangerous and should be abandoned
but they do not believe it should be
closed before another road is estab-
lished. The building of a new road is
what the West Shore people desire of
the railroad company. Mr.. Brinton
and Mr.. Keister get their mail at
w OTHlleNSDufg ana also Duy their grOC-
cries and provisions there. From the
farms to the town it is now only a
few minutes but if the road is closed
they will be compelled to travel over
roundabout route to the Carlisle
pike at Lemoyne and through the con-
gested district at the west end of the
Market street bridge into Wormleys-
burg. The farmers are willing to have
the road closed but they want another
opened and they, together with a num-
Der of Wormleysburg residents, show
ed the viewers this morning the logi-
cal place for a new road.
At Walnut street. in the upper end
of Wormleysburg. there is a culvert
through which road runs to several
farms in that vicinity. West Shore
folks believe that a road could be
built from this culvert if it was wild
ened and made higher to the Keister
and Brinton farms and the viewers
this morning were fayorably impressed
with this solution to the problem con-
fronting them.
Wormleysburg and Camp Hill resi-
dents are interested in the enlarging
of the culvert as they believe that If
this could be accomplished, eventually
new road could be built between the
two towns. Along a ravine, directly
back of the culvert, they say a new
road or boulevard could be built at
very little expense.

Invite Cooperation of

at this or that counter, or otherwise
making themselves useful, the scores
of youngsters of school age in the city
departm stores of the near future
may be poring over their books in the
store schoolroom upstairs.
Study or schoolrooms in the stores
and similar business establishments
may be the most feasible method OF
working out the continuation school
requirement of the now child labor
law, according to local school author
tiles.
Just what scheme will be worked
out is a matter of conjecture thus far
but it is understood that the public
school educators will invite the CO.
operation of the firms employing girls
and boys between the ages of IA and
,16 years. in solving the problems.
Problem For New Board
That the satisfactory application OF
the new laws requirement for Harris
burg will be one of the first important
questions to confront the new City
School Board is certain.
The child labor law provides that
every girl or boy of school age-be-
tween 4 and 10 yearS--Who is employ
ed in a department store, etc, must at
tend school somewhere, some place al
least eight hours each week. The time
may be put in a single day, or spread
over two, three or four days. But
every youngster must work at least
eight hours week over his or her
books.
The school authorities now. accord
ing to DR.. L. Il. Downes, city superin-
tendent. are collecting data to deter
mine where the hundreds of youthful
sales girls and boys are employed.
With this as foundation DR.. Downes

Trial of Karl Buenz Charged
With Violating Customs Laws

SUPPLIED GERMAN SHIPS
District Attorney Asserts $780,
600 Was Spent Here in Break
ing Law and Treaties

New York, Nov. %. - Captain Il.
Boy-Ed, German naval attache was
the directing head under whom was
spent s750,000 in chartering and sup
plying neutral steamers with coal and
provisions for German men-of-war in
the Atlantic and Pacific in August,
1914, the government formally charg-
ed-and asserted that il was prepared
to prove the charge-in the opening
to-day of the trial on charges of con-
spiracy, of DR.. Karl BuenZ, managing
director of the Hamburg-A merican
Line, and three of his subordinates.
Roger b. Wood, assistant United
States district aatorney in charge of
the prosecution, in so declaring, in
sisted that the entire sum was spent
under the personal direction of Cap
tain Boy-Ed and that from $500. .000
10 $4,000 of the amount was spent
in San Francisco in chartering vessels
and obtaining supplies for the German
warship Leipzig and, perhaps the Dres-
den.
William Rand. counsel for the de-
Tense, admitted that the defendants
had hcartered and supplied twelve
ships which sailed away from Ameri-
can ports for the relief of German
men of-war In so doing. Mr.. Rand
asserted. the defendants acted upon
orders received by cable from Ger
many.
Used Many Ships
sixteen or seventeen ships were
used" Mr.. Wood said. by the defend
ants to carry coal, water. wine, Sauer-
llraut and needed supplies to the Leip-
zig. Dresden, Eba, Santa Lucia, Flea
nor Woermer and other German men
of-war These steamers all carried
supercargoes placed aboard by the
defendants, each supercargo bearing
sealed instructions which were opened
after the vessels steamed away, some
times within the three-mile limit.
The defendant Kotter. we shall
show, signed letters which the super
cargoes carried and these letters, ad-
dressed to the captains of the steam
ers selected TO supply German war
ships, instructed the captains to obey
the supercargOes and promised them
liberal gratuities for doing so.
We shall show that after these ves-
sells sailed for Buenos Aires, La Quay
ia, Cadiz, MonroVia and other destin-
ationS, the Supercargoes instructed the
captains to go elsewhere and that the
captains obeying these instructions
took their vessels to meet German
warships at sea and to deliver to the
warships the supplies aboard.
We shall show that these defend
ants conspired at various meetings to
10 all these things; that in so doing
they rode rough shod over the laws
and treaties of the United States as
contemptuously as If these laws and
treaties had been mere scraps of pa

Good Wheat Crop

l.. l.. Burkhead had his wheat
crop ha vested last week. He
had ten acres which was never
irrigated and which made good
yield The stalks grew to a
height of from eighteen inches to
two feet and the heads were well
filled and matured. This is the
first wheat of any consequences
ever harvested in the Lower
Min bres. The farmers have
heretofore been afraid 10 SOW
wheat not knowing whether It
would be profitable crop. Mr..
Burkhead planted the wheat in
the early part of the winter OF
course the exact yield per acre
is not known but it is supposed
to he from ten TO fifteen bushels
per acre. He intends To SOW
twenty acres to wheat this fall.
j. j. Moore brought into town
last week several punches of
volunteer wheat which grew on
his farm one mile southwest Ot
town. The stalks were about
thirty inches high and many ot
the heads We're perfect, This
wheat was neither irrigated or
the ground cultivated. This
proves that with the proper
preparation of the soil, and il
needed a supplement To the
