Jovian Publication Has Inter-
esting Word. to Say of Cele-
bration Labor Day

Plans for the big "rejuvenation" or
initiation ceremonies of the Jovian
League of Harrisburg which is sched-
uled for Thursday evening in the old
Board of Trade building, will be COM
pleted at a luncheon of the members
of the order at noon. Following the
reJuvenation ceremonies the Jovians
Thursday evening will banquet at the
Senate. Many of the leading electrical
engineers and others professionally in
terested in electrical development will
&c guests and among those who will
be invited will be George B. Tripp
vice-president of the United Gas and
Electric corporation. New York city,
and former general manager of the
Harrisburg Light and Power company.
Jovian activities incident to the COM
Ing reJuvenation ceremonies were
given a boost in an interesting way in
a recent issue of the Jovian, a month
ly publication of national circulation;
incidentally Harrisburg and the La
Dor Day "Kipona" got q nationwide
bit of advertising.
The Jovian reprinted a picture of
the Susquehanna basin with its floats
and the queer figure of "Jove" on the
local leagues booster float. Under
the heading "All Alive, and the Proof"
the Jovian Magazine said:
In corresponding with First Tri-
bune P. H. Bailey, of Harrisburg. rela
tive to holding a rejuvenation prior to
the convention, Mercury e. c. Bennett,
in some way alluded to getting a "live
bunch of members" together for the
purpose. Immediately First Tribune
Bailey came back with the assertion
that there were no other kind of Jov-
ians in Harrisburg but live ones.
Furthermore he produced bona fide
evidence to prove it. The picture
herewith produced has all the ear
marks of activity, and the clipping
from the local press accompanying it
shows that the Jovians were there"
on the water like ducks" carrying
off big end of the honors. The Off
GERS of the Harrisburg league are p.
Fl. Bailey, president; George l.. Brick
er. vice-president; and Carey P. Will
liams, secretary treasurer"

Public Library Work
to Be Branched Out

In spite of the fact that the quaran-
tien for infantile paralysis kept chill
dren away fro mthe Harrisburg Public
Library last month the September
circulation was 1880, solely among
adults and forming the largest Sep
tember circulation of that class
known. The October circulation
started off with a considerable num-
Der of children and much demand for
books by students.
The reports made to the board of
trustees last night indicated that the
work among the school children
would be started next month and that
in addition there would be the usual
Saturday story telling hour when the
health conditions permit.
The board arranged for the annual
meeting of the contributors next Mon
day at which six trustees will be
elected. Thomas T. Wierman and
George A. Gorgas will conduct the
election.

READING FIRST
ANTITRUST SUIT
Heads List of 700 Cases Before
Supreme Court; Resist
Dissolution

Washington, Oct. 10. - Hearing to-
day of the Federal governments anti
trust suit against the Reading railroad
interests for alleged monopoly of an
thracite coal production and transpor-
tation launched actual consideration
by the Supreme Court of more than
seven hundred cases on it's new term
docket. The first opinions, on causes
argued at the last term. are set for
next Monday.
The Reading case headed a list of
specially important litigations advanc-
ed for more prompt disposition. The
alleged combination is said to have as
Nsets of $500,000,000. Following this
case, similar suit against the Lehigh
Valley railroad and constituent inter-
ests is to be heard.
An array of counsel appeared before
the court to-day in the Reading argu-
ments. Representing the government
were Attorney General Gregory, Soil
citor General Davis, Assistant Attor-
ney General Todd and Thurlow NJ.
Gordon, special assistant. Jackson E.
Reynolds, Charles Heebner. John ].
Johnson, Charles E. Miller and Robert
W. Deforest defend the Reading inter-
eStS.
Resist Dissolution Remedy
The suit against the Reading COM
pany, holding corporation, the Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad, the
philadelphia and Reading Coal and
iron company, the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre Coal company and others, in
GUIDING George f., Baer and other
Reading directors was begun at Phila-
delphia in 1913 in the Federal District
Court. It's decision was favorable in
part only to the government, in decid-
ing that the holding company's union
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company and the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Ba Coal company, two of
the largest anthracite producers, was
a combination in restraint of trade.
The lower court rejected the govern
ments charges that the Reading COM
pany itself. with it's constituents was
an unlawful combination or that it's
carriage and production of coal con-
sututed violation of the "commodi-
ties clause
On appeal the government is seek
ing separation of the Reading and
Central of New Jersey railroad and
coal interests, to divorce transporta-
ton and production, restore competi-
ton between the Reading and Central
New Jersey roads and redistribution
of stock of the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre Coal company That the Read
ing interests control $4,000 acres of
coal land, with two billion available
tons, or SO per cent. of the known sup
ply, is contended by the government.
In replies filed, the defendants deny
control OF more than 20 per cent. and
declare their profits have averaged
only 1S1s cents ton. They also as
sert that the Reading and Central New
Jersey railroads are noncompetitive,
and resist the dissolution remedies
sought by the government.

SUPERVISORS ACCEPT
FISHERS RESIGNATION,

Regret is felt that County Farm
Demonstration, Fisher, rendered his
resignation this week to the Super
visors and that that body saw proper
to accept it. It is understood that
the immediate cause of the resigna-
ton grew out of what was termed
%inattention to an epidemic of what is
supposed to be anthrax in a herd Of
cattle in Dist. 4. The Sentinel holds
no brief for Mr.. Fisher and knows
nothing about the particulars of the
matter referred to; this paper be-
~lieves, however, that Mr.. Fisher is
capable and that he has made an hon.
est effort to do his whole duty. Just
at this particular stage of the farm
ing life of the county. it is unfortu-
nate not to have a farm demonstra-
tor. The people are making a bust
ness effort to raise more stock and
to get away from the one-crop idea.
1t is stated that MIR. Fisher has vac!
cinated during the year, $500 head
of cattle, which will more than pay
his salary.
DR.. W. ?. Ferguson was employed
by the supervisors to look after the
cases of anthrax above referred to.
The supervisors made no mistake in
doing this. DR.. Ferguson is one of
the best and most successful veteri-
n~arians in the state and will give any
matter entrusted to him faithful at
tention.

COLLEGE SOCIETIES HAVE
INTERESTING DEBATE.

As announced in The Sentinel of
last week, the Californian and Philo-
mathean literary societies at Grena-
ia College had a debate Monday
evening in the College chapel. There
were quite a number from the town
present. The subject was: Resolv-
ed, that old maids should be pension
ed at 49," Now. if there is any
question that young ladies are au-
thority on it is "old maids; I'M
how the feminine world would have
the masculine world to believe that
they cherish these benighted beings,
yet there is manifest a potent desire
to Danish them to somewhere-no-
body knows what place. And while
an "old maid" knows ALL about ev-
erything from chicken mites, : the
hairs on a goose's back, the reason
for the absence of chickens teeth to
the managing of a government, her
strongest suit being what to tell
somebody else to do with children
these debaters waXed warm and Of
tentimes eloquent about what she
was and what she vas not. and each
and all of them brought forth the
heartiest applause from the audience.
The Sentinel has never been as
hard on old maids as some, for the
reason that the ~trifeness of some
men, or some rusty, Grabbed old
bachelors. is to blame for about
seventy-five per cent of them. Lib
erty is taken to suggest TO the bril-
liant lights who make up these two
College societies that they shoulc
have another debate, using this as a
subject: "The reason fer chloro-
forming bachelors at the age of 49,"
To be frank, this paper thinks about
80 per cent of them should be given
the Osler treatment at that age.
Candidly the debate Monday even
ing was one of the most enjoyable
functions the College has had in a
ing while. Many compliments have
al showered upon both the afirma-
and the negative sides of the
ION. Much skill was shown in
q the question.
