MARYSVILLE CAR
SERVICE CASE UP
Public Service Hears the Com
plainantS' Side This
Morning

Complaints of residents of Marys-
vile and other towns along the Marys-
vile division OF the Valley Railways
Company were aired before Public
Service Commissioner Ryan at the
Capitol to-day and pretty nearly every
thing that could be said against the
cars and the service was brought out
by John f. Shannon, Jr., of Marys-
vile, the formal complainant. The
case was the elimination of complaints
made about service the last two
months of 1915. since which time it
appears that the company has put
on a trailer car and made some
changes in its Harrisburg terminal.
Mr.. Shannon was represented by
George Ross Hull and Scott 5. Leiby,
while Charles II. Bergner and j. T.. h.
Cunningham appeared for the Valley
line. Other witnesses were DR.. Har-
vey b. Bashore, DR.. Ruth Deeter.
James Knier and Isaac Miller. Mr..
Shannon, however. presented most of
the case. He charged overcrowdinE
of cars. failure to adhere to schedules,
poor track, too long layovers at the
Marysville terminal and other things,
and also said that cars were not clean,
his wife being forced to carry news
papers to put on the seat. The COM
pany, it appears, has made some efforts
to keep cars clean, but. Mr.. Shannon
said, there was still something to be
desired, and once asserted that the
windows were dirty.
This afternoon the company will
have its say and President c. II. Bishop
will take the stand.
The commission heard several cases
regarding public service to-day and re-
ceived an informal complaint from AL
bert Barnhart and others living in
Lebanon. Palmyra, Annville and Swa-
tara against the Readings morning
| train to Harrisburg, which is known as
the Milky" The complaint charges
chronic lateness and assails the rail-
road management alleging it to be the
cause of loss of wages, inconvenience
and the ill will of employers"
The commission refused to grant an
| extension of charter territory to the
Bradford Gas Company.

GaII-Stones
Don't Submit to tho Knife Until You
Have Learned What Lohmann's
Gallstona Can Do

Few doctors ever try any medical
treatment for gall-stones.. Usually,
the verdict is: Operation"
Then what? After going through
the agony and danger attending this
resort to the surgeons knife, the gall
stones are just as likely to reform.
Lohmann's Gallstona aims to not
merely remove the existing stones.
but to correct the defective action of
the kidneys, liver and bowels that
was back of their formation. Its sue
cess has been wonderful, as attested
by numerous letters.

many dollars for an operation. 1t has

history of the company. comparing
with previous high. of s7O.9S3, ,041.
First Six Months Dull
These tremendous earnings are all
the more significant because the bulk
of the increases occurred in the last
half of the year. the first six months
having been dull. The system op-
Grating profit was S22 ,227 900 more in
1915 than for the year previous.
The net income applicable to sinking
fund requirements and dividends was
SAC, ,47S,9S1, an increase of $S,173,45S,
and is equivalent to more than 81 per
cent. on the stock of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. In'1914 the net income was
equivalent to 6.S3 per cent. The divi-
dend rate is 6 per cent. so that in the
past year the dividend was earned and
with surplus of fully per cent. over

lowered by deductions for sinking and
other reserve funds. and possibly ap-
propriations for other corporate pur-
poses.

Is, the day that British news reports
said wireless communication with the
vessel suddenly ceased. A prize crew
was placed on board and the same day
the submarine which captured the
Appam gave chase to another British
steamer bound for Australia with a
cargo of meat. The meat ship gave
battle, was captured and sunk, after
a large portion of her cargo had beol
taken off.
Six More Sunk
Six more vessels then were de-
stroyed in rapid succession. 1t was
stated. The crews were taken on board
the Appam. which ran due west across
the Atlantic for Hampton Roads.
When the Appam passed in the Vir-
ginia Capes, early to-day, and took on
pilot, she was asked by the Fort
Monroe wireless station who she was.
The reply was, it is stated, that she
was the German cruiser Buffalo.
When she arrived off Old Point,
Quarantine officer Mccartney went
aboard and after his inspection
brought Lieutenant Berg ashore
The Appam got a clean bill of health.
The four wounded sailors were the
only cases of sickness found.
German Consul Takes Charges
The German consul, l.. Marshall
Won Schilling, took charge of the sit
ulation and Lieut.. Berg placed himself
under the consul's orders. They went
to the office of Col. Ira Haynes, COM
mandant of Fort Monroe, where the
German officer paid his respects and
explained why he had given the wire
less station the name of the German
cruiser Buffalo.
Lieut.. Berg and Consul Won Schilling
sent messages to the German embassy
at Washington and later had CONVEX
sations over the telephone with the
embassy and with Customs Collector
Hamilton.
Vessel Is Guarded
Pending the receipt of instructions
from Collector Hamilton, no one is al
lowed on or near the Appam. Guards
are at the rails on every side and no
gangplank is. down. Efforts to COM
municate with any of the passengers
from small boats encircling the steam
er were forbidden.
The Appam has one 3-inch gun
mounted on her bow, but whether it
was on board before her capture or
was mounted by the Germans is not
known. She was brought in under
the German man-of-war flag, instead
of the German merchant flag, and her
name was given to the quarantine Off
Ger as III. Nj. S. Appam," meaning
When seen on his way to visit Col.
Haynes, Lieut.. Berg refused to talk.
Asked for information he merely
shook his head and replied:
Nothing to say, nothing to say
He is a small man of slight build
with a small moustache, and is very
pleasant, though noncommunicative.
A conference with Collector Hamil-
ton will take place in Norfolk this af-
ternoon. After a conference between
Lieut.. Berg and Consul Won Schilling
the lieutenant went back aboard the
Appam. Within a few minutes he re-
ported to Old Point, dressed in his
civilian clothes and with the consul
left for Norfolk for lunch with Col
lector Hamilton.
The names of the steamers sunk by
the raider which captured the Appam
are given as the Trader, Arthur Cor
bridge, Ariabena, Brommondy, Far
rington- Ford and Clan MacFarlane.
1t is also reported now that the raid
er was the German cruiser Move, in
stead of a submarine, although this is
not confirmed.

ATHLETIC CONTESTS
IN GRADE SCHOOLS
KEEN INTEREST BEING TAKEN IN
VARIOUS DISTRICTS OF
SOUTHERN NEVADA

Through Superintendent Anderson
the Bonanza learns that the schools
in his district are organizing by coun-
ties for the purpose of conducting
athletic and scholarship contests in
the seventh and eighth grades and
the high school classes.
Lincoln county will conduct such a
contest on April and s. The date
for the meeting in Clark county has
not been set. The faculty of Tono-
pah high school is now making ar.
rangements for the contest in this
section.
The plan is to bring as many eighth
grade students as possible into close
contest with the high school in the
hope of securing larger enrolment in
work higher than the grades.
Interest is keen in these contests
wherever they have been conducted
and good results will undoubtedly
come If the stunts" are pulled off in
this county.

readiness to resume sinking opera
tons from the 1850. The shaft will be
sent down to below the 1900 for a
stump. On that level a crosscut will
be run to pick up the ore that was
found on the winze from the 1850.
: On this latter level a bulkhead has
been constructed and the crosscut will
be used as storage reservoir to hold
the water that will be lifted by the
sinking pump, to be raised from there
by another pump to the surface. The
pipe line for the mine arrived in Gold

pected in few days.
