Church Controversies
Never Come to Good End,
Judge Warns Litigants

"These church controversies and
litigations never come TO any good
end" President Judge George Kun
kel remarked near the close of a
bearing in court this morning when
the Rev. George Popovich asked for
an injunction against officials OF the
St Nicholas Servian orthodox Church,
of Steelton, alleging that he had been
illegally dismissed.
The priest when on the stand said
that the trustees called meeting
of the congregation for August 20,
on the same day that it was to be
held. which he contended is contrary
TO the church rules The meeting was
held, however. and he attended it and
was dismissed his resignation becom-
ing effective October %. He claimed
that a majority of the members of the
church who had the right to vote on
his dismissal We're not present ana
We're not notified of the meeting.
These facts were denied by the
president OF the church council when
he was called to the stand. FINALLY
Judge Kunkel continued further
hearing of the motion for an injunc-
tion until December 16, stating from
the bench that the court could not
wait until the case WIS prepared.
Efforts to find among the scores of
Serbians in court some who were
members of the church, and could tes-
tfy, resulted in much confusion and
several times Judge Kunkel was
compelled to call for order.
In continuing the case he expressed
the opinion that the trouble should
be adjusted by the members and the
priest together with his successor
without having another court hearing,
1t developed during the hearting to-
day that the cause of the dissention
was the action of the Rev. Mr.. Pop
ovich i'm leaving the borough without
giving the required notice to the
church officials and without their con-
sent according to a resolution which
was approved in February. During
his absence a child died and was
buried without the priest of the par
ish in charge. This act was charged
against him at the meeting in Au-
gust and was the reason for his dis
missal church officials said.

SWEETS PLENTY
FOR CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY SEASON
Tasty Nut Connections Made
Up For the Sugar
Shortages

Just how much Christmas JOY Will
be taken out of the holiday season
this year was estimated variously by
eonfectioners and candy manufac-
turers of the city to-day Some
estimates claimed that only so per
cent. of the normal supply of candies
will be on the market, while others
ran as high as 80 per cent. of the
normal supply for the holiday sea-
son. And while city retailers said
they were not receiving nearly all
the goods they have on order, they
agreed that the candy situation Tor
Christmas will not be serious.
One retailer made very clear the
manufacturers situation. Candies
containing large percentage OF
sugar, such as chocolate creams.
iellies and gum goods, have neces-
sarily been cut down. Stick candles'
hard cut drops, also clear toys, ne
said, can scarcely be purchased at ALL
Many Nut Candies
On the other hand, it was pointed
out. candies containing fruit assort-
ments and nuts, almonds wainuts
and pecans are being manufactured
in large quantities. Manufacturers
have been forced to make these
changes in their products because
of the so per cent. basis requisitiohs
on which they have been placed
AS another consequence or the
shortage, manufacturers are Unit
ing the supply of candies in bulk
and producing more goods in pack
age form. 1t is thought that TINS
is being. done in order TO keep the
trade on fancy package goods on
which manufacturers base their rep
utations, the supply being too small
to fill both the bulk and boxed goods
market.
Situation Improves
Again. many chocolate goods are
being supplied to army training
camps and forces abroad. A proml-
nent retailer in the city stated that
while on a trip to Boston he observed
a shipment of 100000 pounds of hlsh
grade chocolates for one army
camp alone. In one week, he said.
a Trenton concern, not considered
very large, made shipments t" the
Navy amounting to $4,000. The
Hershey Chocolate Company re-
ceived an order this week for fifteen
tdFiOduS Vi dliliOlli bt'A - tSA
diers abroad, one million pounds
in all.
Although the sugar situation has
been severe to candy manufacturers
these conditions should not last long,
said this retailer. The supply of
raw material in sugar is enormous at
the present time, and with the re-
duction of the demand from Europe
caused bv the war. and with increas-
ing shipping facilities, the situation
will be relieved within several
months
And in the meantime. candy re-
tailers are not worrying that there
will be a great shortage for the
Christmas trade, for, practically all
agreed that the situation is not that
serious, and others expressed the
belief that the situation at present
would be somewhat relieved before
the holidays.

Harry B. Gibson, "Y"
Man Killed in France,
May Have Resided Here
Rp 1stocintcd prcss


Paris, Nov. 16.-Harry b. Gibson,
an American Y. M. C. A. worker of
Avalon, Pa. near Pittsburgh, was
killed near Sedan last Monday, the
last day of fighting. He had volun-'
teered to work in an advanced first
aid station. A shell burst nearby
and he was killed almost instantly.
Mr.. Gibson had served with the
first division for year as an active
field worker. He was badly gassed
at Cantigny in the spring and doctors
had advised him not to return TO
the front.
As far as is known, Mr.. Gibson was
the last Y. M. G. A. man killed in the
war. Fifteen men and three women
attached to the Y M. c. A. have
been killed by shells. gas or bombs
/ during hostilities.
The Harry Gibson mentioned in
the foregoing dispatch as having
been killed in France is thought to
be the Harry Gibson who was assist
ant secretary of the Harrisburg
| y Nj. c. A. during the years 1890
1891. Homer Black, who knew him
then, said to-day that Gibson left
Harrisburg to go to Lancaster. where
he became general secretary. After
ten years he went to Massachusetts

| department for the state, under
| Il. M. Armstrong, with headquarters

retary of this department. Mr..
Black said he had been in CORE
spondence with him as late as n year
ago and did not know that he had
changed his residence back to Penn
/ sylvania. as indicated in the Paris
dispatch. This might cast some
doubt on the identity of the man
