pires on Train While on
Way to England

Altoona, Aug 26.-William John
Scanleberry, aged AZ, VINO was a
passenger with his wife and five

morning about the time the train
reached this city. He was on his
way from Carterville, Mo-, where
the family had lived the past sever
years. to England. Death was caused
by tuberculosis.
Scanleberry had been in falling
health for several months and lie
was very desirous of returning to
England, believing that his health
would be benefited by the change in
climate. Owing to the uncertainty
of transport conditions they were
delayed in getting started on the
long journey and he steadily grew
weaker, but when they left Mis-
souri, he seemed to be in fair coll
dition and thought he could make
the trip.
During the night, as the train was
speeding through Ohio. he became
much worse and at Columbus
physician was called to attend him.
He gave the wife medicine for him
and she administered it regularly.
He continued to grow worse, how
ever, and expired about the time the
train reached this city.

ADAMS CRIMINAL
TERM UNDER WAY
No Cases of Importance Are
on List and Session May
Be Short

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. 26. = The
August term of the Adams county
court began yesterday with a large
list of criminal cases on the list.
Thirty-five cases, the largest for
some time, have been returned for
trial. In the whole list there is
nothing of any Importance. 1t is
likely a number of them will be set
tied outside of court, so that the list
will be considerably shortened and
the court will not last many days.
1t was expected that the petition
of the liquor dealers who ask that
n part of their. license money be re-
turned to them for the time they
were compelled to close under Gov
ernment orders would be heard this
time, but this matter will be heard
at special argument court on Sep
tember Is. Since the date for the
hearing has been set it has been
stated wartime prohibition would
in all probability be lifted by Presi-
dent Wilson on October 1. This
likely will have a bearing on the
situation at the time of argument.
Liquor dealers in Adams county are
making an effort to have refunded
proportionate share of their license
money, depending upon the time
they will be closed. They claim it
is not fair to charge them for the
entire year when they have in real
ity sold but a portion of the time.
Part of this refund, provided the
liquor men win their case, will come
from the State and the Attorney
Generals office, which is interest
ing itself in the matter, was repre-
sented by Guy w. Davies when the
order setting the time for Septem-
Der Is was made.

GETTYSBURG HAS
SUGAR SHORTAGE
Blame Waynesboro's Crafty
Citizens For Getting Bulk
of Needed Supply

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-Many
merchants here are entirely out of
sugar. Those who have a small
supply are limiting sales to one or
two pounds to each customer. The
wholesale dealers say their supply
is exhausted and that they have had
no reserve stock of the commodity
for four weeks. With the canning
and preserving season on, the lack of
sugar is quite serious, as many of the
housewives have had no warning and
were unable to lay in a supply to
tide them over the period of short
age. 1t is expected the situation will
be relieved by the end of the week.
as shipments have been promised
from the refineries.
1t is said one of the causes for the
shortage here is the fact that peo-
pie have been motoring here from
Waynesboro and other nearby towns
where the supply of sugar was low
and making purchases from mer-
chants in twenty-pound lots. When
this was discovered the storekeepers
refused to sell to motorists, but it
was too late.

many are visiting relatives and
friends out of town. Several hun
dred more are Willing away the

This is the biggest tie-up Waynes-
