Federal Court.

Federal court convened in this
city Monday. The newly appointed
iurist-Judge Edwin Holms, who
succeeds the lamented H G.. Niles,
presiding.
No session of the court was held
in October last year. The business
therefore had accumulated and this
brought together a larger attend
ance of attorneys and litigants than
otherwise would have been. Judge
Holmes delivered a forceful and
eloquent charge to the grand jury,
impressing upon them the gravity
and responsibility that rests upon
this strong arm of the law and en-
phasized the statutes that forbid in
fractions of such laws as it was their
duty to investigate.
Several cases, in which parties
indicted for violations of the postal
and revenue laws were tried and adj
equate sentences imposed where
convictions were secured-other
cases were thrown out of the court.
The important cases were set by
his Honor to come up for hearing

DIR. Joseph w. Eckford.

At half past II O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. March 5, 1919. DR.. Jo-
seph w. Eckford died at his home
in this city. DR.. Eckford was among
Aberdeen's venerable landmarks and
one of its most esteemed citizens.
His civic and enterprising activi-
ties had contributed much to the
progress and development of his
town, county and state. and his de-
mise will be a distinct loss, as well
as a sorrow, to a wide circle OF
friends and acquaintance His
health had not been good for some
time, so it was known that he could
not live many more years. but this
knowledge did not lessen the sense
of loss experienced by the commu-
nifty when the end did come.
He is survived by a wife and one
daughter, Mrs Ernest Brown, of
Natchez, whose grief is greatest in
the sad bereavement.
The funeral was conducted from

William Cunningham Hamilton.

Tenderness and youth are the prey
of death in so far as they are ex-
pressed in physical form. The mind
and soul are eternal in their consti-
tuition, they live always whether the
earthly habitation be strong or weak
In the life of William Cunning
ham Hamilton, mind and soul unit
ed in an harmonious and bouyant
spirit and expressed their union in
Unconditional purity of life and char
acter.. They were not reinforced by
a vigorous body but the contagion
of their radiant harmony pervaded
a wide circle. A dire disease struck
down the bodily anchor of the young
university student and the nobler
elements passed into a higher and
more congenial atmosphere.
Resolved therefore: That the
Wesley Glass. in which our yuong
friend developed love of the deep
problems of life through the study
ofthe Scripture, and that the Sunday
school and church always made
brighter by his unobtrusive and con-
slant attendance. emulate the les
sons of fidelity and Christianity he
so thoroughly exemplified.
Resolved. second: That we ex-
tend to his parents and family our
sympathy. and pray our Common
Father to give us all grace to bear
the separation from our devoted
young friend and associate.

TO whether l had expressed any
opinion regarding my attitude to-

which would establish 2.75 per

ton of intoxicating liquors, l beg
10 advise that I have repeatedly ex-
pressed my opinion that this legisla-
ton Is decidedly undesirable.
while regret that no other en-
forcement legislation has been
passed, 1 am convinced that this
bill would not in any way meet the
requirements and that it would be
entirely futile, in that it would not
accomplish any purpose in opposi-
tion to the Federal legislation
which seems certain of enactment,

oe approved, it would not avail
against the Federal legislation and
would not accomplish any purpose
for which it is intended. In the
absence of Federal legislation or in
case that the President or Congress
should rescind the present war pro-
hibition regulations, the present
laws in Pennsylvania would be in
force until the Federal prohibition
goes into effect next
January. If the wartime regula-
tions are not rescinded, this pro-
posed enactment of our Legislature
would not be effective in opposition
to the Federal law, whatever it may
be.

that there is any necessity for the

TELEPHONE BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Hot Fight Made Against 1t
Fails When the Vote
Is Taken

The bill authorizing consolidation of
telephone companies was reconsidered
after being defeated in the House last
week and passed at the night session
after verbal battle between Phila-
delphia and Lancaster members. The
vote to reconsider was 1874. The bill
passed 123 TO 65.
The motion to reconsider the bill
was made by Mr.. Mallery, Venango,
who said the bill was now in salts
factory shape to him. He had ap-
proved 1t last week John r. K. Scott,
Philadelphia, said the bill was to
shift competition and that IL 1t passed
farmers would get bad service and big
companies would gobble up little ones
and rates would go up, subscribers pay
Ing more for bad hammered operators
and poor service.
MIR. Hess. Lancaster. denied 1t would
stifie competition because the Public
Service Commission would have power
over rates and could authorize new
companies IL any one wanted to organ
ize them. The bill, he said, would
stop "'ruinous competition" and do
away with necessity for having two
telephones in offices and residences with
duplicate service. Mr.. Scott rejoined
'hal IL was scneIne 10 sell out tne
people and was backed by "the strong
est lobby here this session." He de-
clared it a move to get dividends on
watered stock. Mr.. Hess said the Pub
lie Service Commission had authority
and the House should either have con-
fidence in the commission or abolish
IL.
There are ESQ telephone companies in
the State, said he, and some are on the
verge of bankruptcy.
Mr.. Scott retorted with some criti-
cism of Public Service Commioners in
the past and said mergers of water
