CANNERY TO RUN

has been such as to give them an en-
viable reputation, has created a de-
mand that is constantly increasing
and necessitates much larger out
put.

acreage of peas, string beans and to-
matoes for the coming season. Those

French Had Personal
Insults to Wipe Out
BY .AssocfntcG Prcss

Paris, Oct. 1. The French capitol
is being thrilled by stories of the
fighting on the Western front related
by soldiers wounded in the desperate
combats which have resulted in i'm
portant gains for the allies.
For several days the Germans had
been getting singularly aggressive and
insolent," said one of the men who
charged at Souchez. "They shouted
insults at us and flung into our
trenches notes wrapped around
pebbles One of their favorite taunts
was you are too cowardly to come
over here-come on if you are not too
lazy. This ended by getting on our
nerves. 1t seemed to each one of US
that we had not only France to de-
fend. but a personal insult to wipe
out.
Thus, when, at 12:45 on the 25th,
the order came which sent us against
hill No. 119 we were filled with Joy.
was in the first wave We made
one dash for the German trenches.
Fifty yards from the goal machine
guns took us but we put on speed and
jumped over the first trench without
stopping. We knew the second wave
which followed would occupy the
trench we passed.
What struck me about this rush,
the force and rapidity of which was
incredible, was the smallness of our
losses. Personally I saw no one kill
ed. Things changed, however, when
we got between the first and second
line of trenches. Until our supporting
wave arrived we underwent the
nited fire of both lines. 1t was then
that fragment of shell broke my arm
and put me out of action

Publish Proclamation
to Vote on the Loan

How the passage of the proposed
100000 Walnut street bridge loan as
we'll as the 100000 new fire apparatus
item, will affect the bonded indebted
ness of Harrisburg is set forth in the
official proclamation of the fact that
these items are to be voted upon at
the general election in November
which was formally advertised to-day
by Mayor John K. Royal and City
Clerk Charles a. Miller.
Council several weeks ago passed
the ordinances authorizing the plac-
ing of the problems before the people
in November and publication of the
official proclamation is required by the
Clark act.
The announceRe calls attention to
the fact that city property valuation
is s50,3S6,754 and the present in
debtedness of the city totals s1,931,-
1857. The proposed increase of
$4,000 would amount to about .007
and a fraction per cent of the total
Indebtedness.
The Walnut Street Bridge Associa-
ton which is boosting the movement,
will use these figures in urging the
passage of the bridge loan, it was de-
cided last evening at the meeting of
the association in Swab hail. The
finance committee will district the city
and begin a systematic canvass for
funds to boost the campaign.
Movies Will Help
Half dozen moving picture theaters
have volunteered to assist in the cam
paign by using films dealing with the
movement, 1t was reported last night.
Lantern slides of the float that was
used in the Municipal Celebration
water carnival will be used. The float
shows a view of the proposed bridge
and this was removed from the river
yesterday and hauled all over the Hill.
Alderman Charles P. Walter dis
cussed the bridge problem last eve
ming and told why he believes the con-
struction of the viaduct over the
Pennsylvania tracks at Walnut street
is a public necessity. Even with the
widening of the Market street subway,
Alderman Walter declared, the pro
posed bridge would be needed as in
creasing traffic. for the northern outlet
of the Hill REQUIRES it.

WOMEN! HERE IS
A MONEY SAVER
Use gasoline to dry clean family's
clothes and save
$500

Dry cleaning at home is just as sim
pie as laundering. Any woman can
clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
and put this in two gallons of gasoline,
where it quickly dissolves. Then i'm
merse articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in a few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists,
dresses, coats, ribbons, kiu gloves.
satin shoes, evening, slippers, shawls,
belts, yokes, furs boas, muffs, neck
ties, lawns dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies, fine laces. lace curtains.
wooden garme ats, in fact, any and
everything that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, Shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply a gasoline soap.
Then a wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit. =

DISSOLUTION OF
movie" TRUST IS
ORDERED BY US.
Judge Oliver B. Dickinson
Hands Down Opinion in
District Court
NO SUGGESTIONS MADE
Many Millions of Dollars In
volved in Suit Brought
by Government
no SUGGESTIONS MADE
Bv Associated Press

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The United
States Government won a sweeping
victory in one of its important anti
trust cases to-day when Judge Oliver
r. Dickinson in the United States Dis
trict Court here handed down an
opinion dissolving the alleged moving
picture trust on the ground that II
was violating the Sherman law regu-
lating interstate and foreign COM
merce. The decision was rendered
against the Motion Picture Patents
Company. the General Film Company
and many other concerns and indi-
viduals manufacturing motion picture
films and accessories or controlling
the rights of their manufacture Many
MILLIONS of dollars are involved in the
business.
The court made no suggestions as
to how the alleged combination is to
be dissolved but requested that a de-
cree be submitted for approval. 1t is
probable the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court.
Formed in 1908
1t was charged by the government
that the alleged monopoly was
formed in 1908 by virtually all the
manufacturers of moving picture films
in the country. Under an agreement
made by these concerns, ii was al
legged, the Motion Picture Patents
Company was made the holding con-
Germ of nearly all the patents that
have been issued. A list of theaters
and moving picture places was pre-
pared and no film exchange, it was
alleged, was allowed to distribute
films to any exhibitor except those
named on the list. Uniform prices and
rules were made. it was further al
legged, and if the film exchanges did
not observe the orders of the so-called
trust their supply was cut off.

Professor c. Walter Wallace, a blind
organist, who for three years has
played regularly in churches and Il
motion picture theater in Reading,
will come to Harrisburg next wednes-
day to become one of the regular
organists at Peter Magaro's Regent
motion picture theater, 41O Market
street.
Mr., Magaro in making the an
nouncement to-day, said that Miss
Merchant, the present organist, will
remain with the theater, dividing the
programs with the blind musician.
Between now and the coming of
Fro1essor wallace next week the work
OF installing q four manual organ in
place of the present two-manual in
strument, will be completed. The
present organ was damaged by water
ABOUT three months ago when floods
from a sewer backed into the cellar
OF the theater. The result has been
that since that time Miss Merchant has
oeen very much handicapped in her
playing, but with a new Mohler organ
installed by next Wednesday it is
promised that both she and Professor
Wallace will have every facility TO dis
play their musical attainments to the
best advantage
The blind musician will come most
highly recommended by Reading
musicians and the Reading newspapers
which tell interestingly of the difficul-
ties that he has to overcome in his
musical work. Mrs. Wallace always
accompanies her husband to the
theater when he plays and by pres
sure of her hand on his arm indicates
to him the nature of the music re-
quired so that his playing shall be ap-
propriate to the acting that is being
done at the time on the motion picture
screen.
Despite his affiiction Professor Wal
lace plays by note, having especially
embossed music, and when he wants to
play selection that is not improvised
he writes it himself at the dictation of
his wife.
Professor Wallace has composed
much music of rare sweetness. He
ofticiated for some time as organist
of the Windsor Methodist church, in
Reading, and afterward went to the
Lyric theater in that city, relinquish-
ing his post there to come to the
Regent. Before he went to Reading
he was organist of the First Reform
ed church, Lebanon.
