Leslie Camp came to a close this
week. The attendance on the Sundays
was very large, but not much during
the week days. Temperance Day on
Wednesday of last week brought out
small crowd, but fine speeches were
made by DR.. Cha!fant, editor of the
American Issue, and DR.. Hare, Super
intendent of the Maryland Anti-Saloon
League. In the course of DR.. Hare's
address he took occasion to state that
both DR.. France. the Republican sena-
torial candidate and Mr.. Lewis. the
Democratic candidate had clean rec
ords on the prohibition question. The
same could be said of Mr.. Duer, the
Republican candidate for Congress-

4 GOOD START.

Elsewhere the Elkotn Town Council
is publishing an ordinance withdraw
ing certain portions of streets as
places for standing autos, teams, etc.
The ordinance is a step il the right
direction; our only criticism is that
the step is not quite long enough. The
streets in the center of this town are
very narrow, congested and dangerous.
Autos. teams, etc, should not be
permitted to stand on Main street
from Grooms Lane to Bow street. or
on North street from Main to High.
A few individuals might object to such
action for time. but they would soon
get over it and the town would be
safe in every way.

Health Report

DR.. John S. Fulton. Secretary of the
State Board of Health, on Friday
evening appeared before the Elkton
Town Council and laid before that
body the report of the recent health
survey of the town, which we must adj
nit was not flattering one.
The question of a survey looking
to sewer system and general sani-
tary matters were discussed, but no
definite action taken.

TONIGHT MARKS
AUTO SHOWS END
Declared to Be Among Finest
in Country; Attendance Ex-
ceeds Expectations

Tonight winds up Harrisburg's S
Greater Than Ever Auto Show. That
it has really proved a greater than
ever show is attested to by the figures
of Manager Is. r. Johnson, who re-
ports that the attendance has been far
in excess of their broadest hopes. A
greater number of automobile sales
have been made this year than at any
previous exhibition, which speaks well
not only of the ability of the statesmen
and demonstrators, but of the pros
perity of Harrisburg as well.
The feeling prevails among those
in charge of the exhibition that its
huge success was due in a great meas
ure to the splendid cooperation on
the part of exhibitors and the active
ability OF Manager b. r. johnson.
Those who have not vet availed
themselves of the opportunity of see
ing this years show should not neglect
TO be among those attending the ex-
hibition this evening.
FACTORY Representatives of the vari-
Gus cars who have spent the week at
the exhibit of their respective cars and
who do little else than attend the finest
automobile shows throughout the
country are unanimous in declaring
that Harrisburg's exhibition of this
year ranks among the finest they have
ever attended, not excepting those of
the metropolitan centers. except, per-
haps, in size.

CONTINUED From First Pagel
President Wilson is firm in his de-
termination to insist on the rights of
Americans to travel on ships armed
for defense only.
From German sources come sug-
sestions that the Teutonic govern
ments were inspired to issue their
new notice by the American circular
note to the allied powers proposing
disarmament of merchant ships and
the German belief is that the allies
will not accept the American sugges-
tion.
May Disarm Ships
From British sources comes the
positive statement that the British
government at least has not rejected
the American suggestion but is con-
sulting her allies.
Awaits German Response
Though technically an entirely
new question, separate from that right
of merchant ships to carry defensive
armament, the Lusitania case, re-
mains in obeyance because the State
Department fears that the German
pledges to refrain from attacking
liners without warning may not eX-
tend to future operations.
Therefore the department has call
ed upon the German government for
information on that point and is now
awaiting a response.

more licensed hostelries might be
continued. Only the John h. Rider
York Haven Water & Power Company
trespass case will be heard during the
week.
March / the 1916 license privilege
expires and unless the holders are
permitted to renew their licenses,
they will have to dispense with the
sale of rum.
More than twenty remonstrances
only half a dozen have been heard.
Both Judges Kunkel and McCarrell
have been hearing both sides of each
cases very fully and in order to do
so they have had to sit constantly
since a week ago yesterday.
Fink Brewery Case Heard
1t has been the custom of the local
courts, lawyers pointed out to-day, to
hear all the testimony where applica-
tions have been demonstrated against
and then to dispose of the cases after
ward Usually the consideration OF
the testimony has kept the court busy
up until the last day for action.
The remonStrance against the Fink
Brewing Company was heard this
morning and this was followed by the
remonstrance against the application
of Benjamin A. Striplin for a license
at 945 State street. He now conducts
the Leroy hotel in State street, but
his property has been taken over by
the State for the capitol park extern
sion and he must vacate. He had
made an application for a re-license
at the Leroy, but this was Withdrawn
this morning.
The Brewery Problem
Tho Fink remonstrance was based
on the fact that the company had
been sued by the United States Gov
ernment for the recovery of taxes on
beer that had been brewed That the
revenue regulations had been violated.
relative to the locking of the beer vats
was also charged. The government
requires the locking and unlocking OF
the intake and outlet pipes to the
watts to be in charge of a revenue Of
ficer. In spite of this, however, the
firms employees, it was charged, had
tried to eVade the registration of brew
by pumping beer through the bottom
instead of the top of the vat. The
compromise effected by the company
with the government was an admis-
sion of guilt, the remonstrants con-
tended. The court took the view that
the compromise was not necessarily
an admission of guilt but rather a con-
cession on the part of both parties.
The remonstrances against Striplin s
license for 945 North Seventh street
were objected to on the ground that
many of the signatures were written
obviously in the same handwriting
That the new place is not necessity,
that Striplin is not a tit character to
conduct 4 hotel and that the location
is not suitable for a hotel were the
grounds upon which the rcmon-
strances were based.

J. A. Kline a Visitor
at the Auto Show

Among those who are in attendance

ton of being the first automobile
dealer in Harrisburg. having sold the
first car, a Locomobile. steam pro-

A coincident regarding the purchase
of this car is that the car number was

Intelligent Shopping
Do YOU plan your shopping and do
it intelli"ently? If businessmen bought
their merchandise as caTelessIy as
some people supply their household
needs, they would soon be bankrupt.
yet how few of us make it a point to
deal where we know we get the best
service and values! For instance,
when you need tooth paste, talcum
powder or some other simple neces-
sity, do YOU stop in carelessly at the
first drug store YOU see. satisfied to
buy anything that the clerk happens
TO have on hand, or do you, ON the
other hand, go to such a store as Cor
gas, 16 n. Third street, where YOU
are sure to find in their enormous
stock. exactly what you want, and
have the added advantage of perfectly
fresh stock, assured quality and low
prices.
