COULD MAKE CITY
MUNITION CENTER
Vast Possibilities For Manu-
facture of Ordnance in
Harrisburg

In case of war with Mexico or any
other country, Harrisburg will be able
TO turn out munitions in great quanti-
ties, believe local military experts.
This city with the Harrisburg Pipe
& Pipe Bending Works. Pennsylvania
Steel Company, Foundry and Machine
Works and Elliott Fisher Typewriter
Company could be made the center
of shrapnel and cartridge manufac-
ture throughout Central Pennsylvania
The pipe works up until a short
time ago was turning out 5000 Az =
inch shrapnel shells for the British
government and within a very short
time this plant could be making sim
liar shells for Uncle Sam in equal
quantities. The Pennsylvania Steel
would be of great value to the ord
nance department of the government
because of its vast steel manufactur-
ing possibilities. 1t is now turning
out great quantities of steel rounds"
and shrapnel forgings for the French
government.
The Foundry and Machine and FL
Fisher Companies, experts say
could be used in the manufacture of
the smaller parts of rifles and in turn
ing out cartridge parts.
Light armor for armored motor
cars, armored plate for ships of the
line and similar munitions can be
made by the Central Iron and Steel
Plant.
While no accurate estimates can
possibly be given as to the exact
quantities without a very careful in
ventory, it is conceded that the muni-
ton product of Harrisburg and it's vi
cinity would be very large.

LETTER FROM The
State CAPITOL
NATIONAL BANKS CANNOT ACT
AS TRUST COMPANIES OR
ADMINISTER ESTATES.
FRUIT CROP BELOW NORMAL
Some Supreme Court Decisions and
Statements Of Interest On
Various Subjects.

Lansing, Mich.-National banks In
Michigan cannot act in the capacity
of trust companies. according to
decision of the supreme court. AS
result OF such decision the First Ma
tional bank of Bay City is defeated In
its defense against five Michigan trust
companies to do trust company
business, the case being one instituted
through the attorney general as
friendly suit to test the question.
The bank claimed such a right and
the federal reserve board act; that
such act gave national banks the
right to act as trustee, executor and
administrator. The supreme court
holds that such federal legislation Is
in direct invasion of the sovereignty
of the state. There is natural con-
nection between the business of bank
ing and the carrying on OF federal
fiscal operations" reads the opinion
"but there is none, apparently be-
tween such operations and the bus
mess of settling estates, or acting as
trustee of bondholders."

MYERS MAKES CONFESSION
Travis Watch, Ring and Coat Were
Found on Myers BY
the Police.

Grant.-"That William Travis came
to his death by shots fired by Clarence
Myers, aided and abetter by Mrs. VIII
liam Travis" was the verdict of the
coroner's jury In the inquest at Ere
mont held to inquire into Travis
death. In his confession Myers said
that Mrs. Travis threatened TO poison
her husband. but that he stole the
poison from her stocking at night and
hid il. When asked to produce the
bottle containing the poison he led the
officers to an old outbuilding, where
he turned over to the authorities the
bottle and the pistol with which he
said he had shot Travis.
Myers came to board with the
Travis people in the summer OF 1915,
since which time neighbors say Travis
had had repeated quarrels with him
On the night of October Il, 1915,
neighbors heard two shots, but paid
little attention to them. The follow
ing day, Mrs. Travis is alleged to have
phoned neighbors that her husband
left home because he was Jealous OF
Clarence and angry with her. Mrs
Travis and Myers lived on the farm
during the winter, but moved to
Conklin early in spring, and their
places were taken by Dwight Dunn
and his wife.
While digging in ditch half mile
from the house. Dunn discovered the
body of Travis under nine inches oil
dirt and in apparently good condition
Dunn urged his wife to say nothing
that evening, and the following day
they notified the police.
Sheriff Gracey raced TO Conklin ir
motor car a distance of 20 miles
and arrested Myers and Mrs. Travis
and brought them to Fremont, where
they were put under severe grilling
Travis watch, ring and coat were
found on Myers by the police, who sa!
he wore them Immediately after Ira
Wis disappearance. A 32-caliber re
volver shell was found in Travis
home after Mrs. Travis and Myer'
had left Hard pan prevented digging
Travis grave deeper, the police say.
