NO REBATE--AV
ALLOWANCE" PLEA
Pennsylvania Railroads Move For
Dismissal Now Under Serious
Consideration
Special to The TsIesroph

Philadelphia, June 16.-"Not re-
bate-only an allowance" is the
Pennsylvania Railroads plea in the
suit now being heard in United States
district court here, in which the gov
ernment charges the railroad with
granting a rebate of 10 cents per ton
on coal to the Glen White Coal and
Lumber Company.
John Hampton Barnes, counsel Tor
the railroad, admitted in his appeal to
the court yesterday that the coal COM
pany had been paid the 10 cents per
ton. He contended, however, that this
was an allowance, paid to the coal
company for carrying coal from the
mines at Kittanning Point, Pa, where
the coal company's railroad connects
with the Pennsy.
On this basis, Mr.. Barnes asked
Judge Dickinson to dismiss the suit.
Counsel for the government objected
on the ground that even II the lO
cents per ton were an allowance" the
railroad company violated the law by
not including this allowance in the
publication of it's freight rates.
1t was brought out that the Pennsy
now publishes the allowance" in its
schedule of tariffs. Judge Dickinson
withheld his decision on the motion to
dismiss the suit.

Kosta Yrdonoff, a Steelton foreigner,

was ignored by the grand jury at the

Jones roomed with John Williamson

Williamson declined; he needed them
himself he said. Whereupon Jones
declared he would "get back" at the
selfish owner of the shoes. That
night Williamson found his overcoat
slashed into ribbons and he accused
Jones.

State Society Will
Mark Harris Grave
With Great Boulder

The grave of John Harris, the city's
first settler and father of the founder
of Harrisburg, is to be marked by the
Pennsylvania Historical Society with
great boulder and bronze tablet suit
ably inscribed.
The stone will be placed in Harris
Park close to the grave of the settler
whom tradition has it, was once al
most burned at the stake by hostile In
dians, and opposite the landing of the
famous old Harris ferry landing. This
is a short distance below the Cum
berland Valley bridge.
The Historical Society's decision to
mark the point was made at recent
meeting and Thomas Lynch Montgom-
cry, State Librarian and curator of
the State Society, yesterday wrote City
Commissioner NJ. Harvey Taylor, su-
perintendent of parks, to that effect.
Mr.. Taylor expressed appreciation of
the movement and advised that the
stone be given to the city through the
park department and so that in this
wy no councilmanic legislation would
be necessary to provide a site mas
much as the city owns the parkland.
The old iron spiked fence that has
enclosed the grave of Harris for nearly
a quarter of a century will likely be
removed too and a low hedge substi-
tuted. in accordance with a suggestion
of Mr.. Taylor.

not much evidence of the war. Trains
of troops with ears, hands and feet
frozen were then being brought into
the city for treatment, the hospitals in
France being filled to their capacity.
AS soon as the Baltic Sea opened
up in the Spring, Mr.. and Mrs. White
booked passage for Russia on a small
Dutch steamer. 1t took them more
than three weeks to make the perilous
passage and three weeks longer to
reach Petrograd, owing to the bad con-
ditions of the roads. Most of the trip
was made by sledges.
They spent more than six weeks in
the country and when they left Petro-
grad early last month the ground was
covered with three feet of snow.
The return trip to England was
made with less trouble than the out
going passage because floe ice had
about disappeared. Mr.. and Mrs.
White did not hear of the sinking of
the Lusitania until they reached Eng
land.
We were greatly shocked" said Mrs.
White. The killing of all those inno-
cent babies and children, including
many Americans drove home the hor-
rors of war and for a time made me
rather afraid to start for home. 1t
was an awful thing"
Mr.. and Mrs. White returned to this
country on the st. Paul. The ship
was conveyed by two big British war
ships out to sea three hundred miles.
Mr.. and Mrs. White spent the last
several weeks in New York.

State department officials and mem
bers of the diplomatic corps knew
OF the story to-day only from publish
ed reports. They recalled, however,
that at the personal request of Count
Bernstorff former Secretary Bryan
asked the British and French Ambas-
sadors for safe conduct for DR.. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard, a representative of
the German Red Cross, who was re-
turning to Berlin to carry a personal
message from the count after the
latter's audience with President Will
son In the midst of the diplomatic ne
gotiations with Germany.
Mr.. Jesserand, the French ambas-
sador at the time inquired closely of
Meyer-Gerhard' identity and State de-
partment officials recalled also that
Sir Cicil Spring Rice, the British Am
bassador had suggested that there was
evidence of other activity by Gerhard
than Red Cross work.
The upshot of 1t was, however, that
the State department, at the request OF
Count Bernstorff, gave a letter.
1T was a letter." said Secretary
Lansing to-day, that was given at the
request of the German Ambassador
stating that DR.. Meyer-Gerhard, who
had been in this country as the rep.
resentative of the German Red Cross
desired to return to Germany"
No question, up to that time, mol

might really be Meyer, or If Meyer
was in the country secretly buying
war supplies.

bassy all officials were absent. Mos

SON."
Mayor Royal is not the only one of
the prominent men in the city favor
ing the plan. Attorney A. Carson
Stamm, a prominent baseball fan,
also said that he hopes that the team
would be brought here to represent
this city in the East.
E. u. Wallower, talking about the
transfer to-day said. ito bring the
Newark team to this city will give
Harrisburg the prominence 1t de-
serves. Not only that, 1t will show
enterprise on the part of the citizens
in the city. I think the proposition
should be encouraged"
Charles E. Covert, vice-presldent or
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, and prominent in athletic
affairs, agreed with the other men OF
the city concerning the publicity Har-
risburg would gain from a place in the
International circuit.
The fans have one more day to
raise the remainder of the $4,000 bud
get which is required before the
transfer will be granted. The team, If
brought to this city, would place Har-
risburg in a race with cities having a
population of more than 25O,000. The
scores of the games are published in
the East and West and also in many
Canadian towns. as Montreal and To-
ronto have clubs in the circuit.
A number of the fans are grouping
together in twos, threes and fours, and
are taking books dividing the cost
$40. This means that many more be-
come interested and will turn out at
the games.
Henry w. Cough, county controller
another an intensely Interested in the
sport, believes that the transfer would
be a big advantage as an amusement
and to the business of the city in gen.
eral, as the club would attract many
people from nearby towns to the
games, thus increasing the business In
this city, as the visitors would un-
doubtedly want to get acquainted with
the town which represented Pennsyl-
vania in the International league.

to depend on the thousands of motor
buses, moving trucks, ice wagons and
railroad suburban trains for transpor-
tation.

Sixteen hundred strikebreakers arrived
