MCCLURE DEED UPSET
State Wins Suit for Property He Gave
TO TurnDike COmDany

Chambersburg. Pa. Oct. IA year
ago the State took over the Harrisburg,
Carlisle and Chambersburg turnpike
and when Governor Brumbaugh and
his party made their first tour the toll
gates were formally closed by the Gov
ernor. Just north of the limits of
Chambersburg had been a tollgate
When the turnpike company was
formed Colonel Alexander K. Mcclure
gave an acre of land to the company
with the proviso that should the turn
pike company ever dissolve the land
should revert to his estate. Levi Horst
bought the farm which adjoins the
tollgate property. When the turnpike
was taken by the State Horst acquired
possession of the tollgate house and
sold it to a Mrs. Koonts. The State
brought suit to recover the property
and First Deputy Attorney General
Keller took charge of the case, which
has just been tried.
Judge Gillian instructed the jury to
give n verdict in favor of the State.
Colonel Mcclure, good lawyer as he
was. had made faulty deed.

ditions in Northern Mexico are i'm
proving and that lin the near future"
1t probably will be possible to do
more than has been done to relieve
the embarrassments under which or
ganized militia regiments have neces-
sarily suffered
President Wilson wrote to Governor
Whitman in answer to a letter from
the New York executive regarding the
New York militia organizations on the
Border. The President told Mr. Whit
man that it was impossible to set a
date on which the remaining New York
regiments there could be released.
The President in his letter declared
he had been advised by the War De-
partment that a withdrawal of the
militia at any time since they were
sent to the Border would in all human
likelihood have been followed by fresh
aggressions from Mexico upon the lives
and property of the people of the
United States"
In his letter the President paid a
high tribute to the character of the
militiamen on the Border and denied
that any organizations were being kept
there to perfect their military training.

BUILDERS INTERESTED IN NEW
TYPE OF THREADED MANTLE

OF special interest to builders and
buyers of homes is a newly invented
gas mantle which. among other good
points, boasts of cleanliness.
The gas mantle. like the house or
building in which 1t is used, requires a
skeleton or framework for its con-
struction. The new type of mantle is
threaded with silk and the fabric is
washed and rewashed until every trace
of mineral impurity is removed. After
careful drying it is saturated with a
chemical fluid. The framework has
served its purpose in forming or shap-
ing the mantle and is now entirely
burnt out so that nothing remains but
a chemical ash. This ash. by a series
of ingenious and skillful operations, is
hardened into the finished product and
is boxed for shipment. If during the
process of production a single grain
of dust adheres or becomes a part of
the chemical ash. the mantle is defect
i've and unfit for use.

Rumanians Stem Tide
of Defeat at Some Points
by Use of Their Cavalry

London, Oct. 1.-THE Rumanians
have stemmed the advance of Won Fail
kenhayn's troops at some points on
the Pennsylvania front, but are still
being rolled back at other points.
The Rumanians have discovered
thai the best means of combating the
enemy is with cavalry. King Ferdi-
nsnG's horsemen, supported by cos
sacks. buried themselves against the
advancing columns of Teutons six
separate times in the Magyarole defile,
west of MituZu. and each time broke
through and rolled back the enemy.
The customs station at Crasna was
the goal of these furious assaults, but
it was still in the hands of the Ru-
manians when the Teutons gave up
the attempt.

agreement entered into between the
Siems-Carey Company of st. Paul,
with the Chinese government en-
powers the American company to con-
struct equal mileage elsewhere if the
protest holds.
Washington, Oct II. - Negotia-
tions for American railway construc-

night ago and called for a s60,000,-
600 loan by the American Interna-
tional Corporation and the construc-
ton as soon as possible of 1900 miles
of railway through the richest Sec
tons of China by the STEMS Carey
Company of st. Paul. An optional
contract for the construction of an ad-
ditional 1900 miles of railway later
was contained in the agreement.
The loan was to be secured by the
property in the road itself and not
by concessions or government guaran-
tees. The Chinese government agreed
to the appointment of an American
engineer who later was to act as the
chief engineer of the road. George A.
Kyle, Great Northern Railway en-
gineer was appointed recently and
confirmed by China for the position.

The Reichstag committee to-day re-

also recommended that the Reichstag
demand to see the report of the pro-
ceedings before the Berlin court-mar-

tence imposed by that body on the
Socialist leader.
In the case of the Socialist deputy
Otto Ruehle. the committee refused
the permission for the continuation of
the libel action brought against the
deputy on behalf of General Won Bis
sing, governor of Belgium, and his
staff.
DR.. Liebknecht is at present under
sentence of four years and one month
Imprisonment imposed by the court
martial at Berlin for military trea-
son." Pending his appeal from this
sentence a court-martial at Thorn
commenced action against him, charg-
ing that he attempted to incite the SOL
diers of the Thorn garrison to dis
obedience and rebellion through let
ters he sent them.
