JONES SUIT STARTS
STORM OF PROTEST
Called Political Subterfuge" by
Man Who Offers to Aid
Defendants

Intense Indignation was expressed
to-day in steelton municipal circles
over the recent filing of a trespass
suit against Benjamin F. Lipp and
Steve Pop, two steel company watch
men, by Clinton Jones, the discharged
borough policeman.
Prominent businessmen have volun-
teered to raise a fund with which an
attorney will be employed to defend
the two men who were the chief wit
nesses in one of the many recent in
vestigations of ex-Oficer Jones con-
duct.
Both Lipp and Pop were served
with notice of the suit yesterday. Just
what they are being sued for was not
stated. as Jones attorney has not as
yet filed any statement.
One of the borough's most promi-
nent businessmen to-day said:
why, that latest move is one of the
most astounding things I have ever
heard Of It's so obviously a mere
political subterfuge to place borough
officials who had the temerity to clash
with the hackers of inefficiency in our
police department in an unfavorable
light that 1t deserves the unanimous
censure of every good citizen. We
must rally to the support of these
men. I for one will contribute to a
fund for the retention of an attorney
to defend these witnesses, who merely
did their duty as good citizens"

PULLBACKS HALT
PENBROOK PAVING
Continued from First Page.l


the acts of the Legislature relating to
street improvement Says the News:
"a little spirit of enthusiasm and
the backbone of courage will bridge
over many seemingly impossible difi1-
culties. Is there any spirit of en-
thusiasm in favor of paving Main
street? Is there any courage to push
1t through? If so, go to 1t and pull
together and show the surrounding
community the stuff that Penbrook Is
made Of It's easy to find objections
but try just as hard to find reasons
why it should be done and how it
can be done.
On Main Line of Travel
"Others are entitled to consideration
and have their rights as we'll as those
in the borough. If Penbrook was of
on some side road away from travel,
then we could say 1t was our business
if we prefer to have dusty, muddy, rut-
ty roads, but when the State high
way and one of the leading roads out
of the State Capital goes through the
borough, the State is entitled to con-
sideration and the hundreds of motor
vehicle owners have a right to expect
better roads. They pay a big tax
on each car which goes to the road
funds of the State and are entitled to
good roads, especially on the main
highways. The State is willing that
all vehicle owners should have this
privilege extended through Penbrook
as we'll as elsewhere and is willing to
pay its share. Then why shouldn't
Penbrook concede this right to out
siders as we'll as its own residents and
do it's share to improve the deplorable
conditions?"
A Popular Highway
In an earlier issue the News said
when the paving of Main street Is
completed the Jamestown Road will
be one of the most popular highways
out of Harrisburg and materially add
to real estate values in the vicinity OF
the borough and the suburbs along the
trolley toward Linglestown. The mo-
torists have been loud in their COM
plants regarding general road condi-
| tions through Penbrook.
Take the same pride in the COM
munity in which you live as you would
| in your home. Harrisburg is talked
about all over the countr ybecause OF
its municipal improvements. Why not
have Penbrook talked about in Har-
risburg as its most progressive and at
tractive suburb?"
! In a more recent issue of the Pen
brook News the statement is made that
/ over four-ffths of the property own
ers in Main street have signed the Pc
tition for paving and that a majority
| in interest prefer asphalt. There Ii
reported some delay on the part of the
Harrisburg Railways Company, which
is expected to bear part of the cost.

GERMAN CHANCELLOR
DEFENDS CouNTRYS ACTION.
NEW YORK, ~. n, Jan. 25.--In a
long interview with American CORE
spcndents at the headquarters Of the
German army IN France, Imperial
Chancellor Won 6ethmann-HoiIwec de.
fined the German version Of the char
acterizaticn Of the Belgian neutrality
guarantee az scrap Of paper"
He expressed great surprise when
informed Of the unfavcrable impress
sion which this reference to treaty
had made, but said this impression had
undoubtedly been created and fostered
by Germans enemies.
The chancellor waved aside the idea
that Great Britain had entered the
war because Germany had violated
BeIgiun's neutrality. He said that
Britain had other reasons for enter
ing the war, BY comparison with which
the value Of the Belgium neutrality
guarantee vas but a scrap of paper.
SAYS BELGIUM HAS
HERSELF TO BLAME.
Referring to Germany's attitude to-
wards the Belgian treaty he said that
it had not been lightly regarded as
scrap of paper, but that when Belgium
was first invaded by German troops
the treaty had become an obsolete in
strument because Belgium had forfeit
ed her neutrality in favoring Ger
n,any's enemies.
The chancellor said that the unfa-
vorab.e impression and attitude Gre.
ated in America by the statement that
Germany had no regard for the Bel
gian treaty could only be attributed to
the biased comments Of enemies
