the Middle Division

Notices issued by Passenger Train
master L. c. Banks. of the Middle
division. instruct passenger conduc-
tors to employ all their efforts in
having trains discharge and receive
passengers. mail and express
promptly.
Each conductor is urged to leave
the train on its arrival at each sta
tion-stop and look after the loading
of express. mail or baggage. so that
as little retention as possible may
develop. Methods were undertaken
last month to speed up the passenger
service over the division, as much
time had been lost.
Complaints have also been made
to officials that some conductors fail
to see that sufficient coaches are
opened at stations to receive or
discharge patrons. If crowds on the
trains warrant 1t, both ends of
coaches are to be opened.

BUTONE JUJRORN
BOX FOR TRIAL OF
BUSHMANSLAYER
Defense May Endeavor to
Show Collins, Not Rein
ecker Planned Murder

Gettysburg, Pa, Feb. with the
entire panel OF jurors already ex-
hausted and with two additional men
in the courtroom examined for duty.
but a single man had been selected
this morning to serve on the jury
that Is to try Charles Reinecker.
charged with being an accompIice of
Clarence Collins in the murder of
George Bushman. Collins was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
last week.
Forty additional jurors have been
summoned by Sheriff Hartman for
examination for duty. Their exami-
nation will be startd without de-
lay.
1t is believed that the same line
of defense will be followed in this
trial as was followed in that of Col
Inns last week. 1t will be argued that
the case is being tried unconstitu-
tionally and that II should be heard
in Cumberland county, where the
deed is alleged to have been COM
mitted.
1t is possible that the defense
will endeavor to prove that Rein
ecker did not plan the murder and
that the act was not premeditated
as 1t was shown to have been in the
case OF Collins. The defense hopes
to prove that Reinecker was persuad-
ed to participate in the affair by
Collins and to impress on the jury
men that even though Reinecker be
shown to have been the gunman, a
verdict of first degree murder should
not be rendered.

METHODISTS ATTEND
BIG GoANNUAL BANQUET
More Than $50 Dine at Second Big Event. Wonderful Strides
"a - of Church Told by Speakers

At the second annual banquet of
Methodists of Harrisburg and vicin-
ity held at the Masonic Temple last
night, plans were outlined which
showed the extent to which the peo-
pie of this denomination have de-
ternained to carry their work in this
city. Just as the state is proposing
to make the State Capital a center
from which may radiate, through
the state, ideas and plans for civic
apd material improvements. just so
are the Methodists of Harrisburg
planning that their work may. be an
inspiration and encouragement to the
religious and spiritual development
throughout the entire Common
wealth. 1t was shown\that wonderful
strides had been made by the Metho-
dist churches of this district during
the past year and that the plans for
the near future embrace the most
important operations that any de-
nomination has ever attempted in
this city.
More than $50 were gathered at
the banquet and for the second time
1t was found that the spacious ban
quet hall at the Masonic Temple was
entirely inadequate to accommodate
the splendid turnout of enthusiastic
church workers. The addresses of
the evening were very eloquent and
forceful, the principal speaker being
B1shop William F. Mcdowell. of
Washington; DR.. w. E. Doughty, of
New York; the Rev. Morris E.
Swartz, II. L. Price and H. S. Du-
laney. of Baltimore. and District
superintendent Edgar r. Hickman,
OF this city, also had prominent parts
in the program.

Large Gathering
Last evenings meeting was one
of the largest and most enthusiast
tic the Columbia organization has
held and 1t was the consensus of
opinion of the professional, merean-
tile, banking and manufacturing
executives present that the inn
provement is not only possible but
feasible and one of the urgent needs
of the very near future. 1t was the
belief of the speakers that the pro-
ject stood much better chance of
being pushed to success through
Congress than by way of the State
Legislature, on account of the in
large amount of money necessary
for the preliminaries.

James P, Mccullough, William NJ.
Robson and Frank J. Consylman

Engle, president of the Lancaster
Chamber of Commerce; c. NJ. Full
ton, president of the York Chamber
of Commerce; Eugene F. Weisser,
of York, and John J. Bare, Lancas-
ter. In addition to these a number
of four-minute addresses were given
and James S. Bierthwaite, chief
electrician at the silk mill, Column
bia, rendered several musical Sc
Iections. The committee on recep-
ton consisted of Chief Burgess Will
liam Miller, Albert Roye and s:
Hugh Levan, first vice-president of
the association.
All the speakers expressed their
views as in favor of navigation on
the Susquehanna river. They Were
certain it would be helpful to busi-
ness in all its branches and would
reduce the cost of many articles of
commerce. The arrangements made
by A. l.. Campbell, the secretary,
included refreshments and a smoker
following the speaking.

ocean. He has wonderful story
to tell about his battles a mile or
more above the clouds.
His story of the early days of the
war when lives were doubly risked
by fighting in airplanes unsafe for
travel under the best of conditions,
of the later days when the machines
were perfected and in them they
ventured far over the German lines
of the cruelties he witnessed on his
scouting tours, of his almost hope
less days in a dingy Hun prison.
these and many other points blend
to make story replete with thrills.
Probably no other American fight
ing in France under ours or any
other colors became so well known
and so much talked about in this
locality as Walter Shaffer. His let
ters that were published in the Har-
risburg Telegraph gripped the inter-
est of thousands of readers. His
narrative of exciting adventure in
the struggle against the Hun read
like the linking episodes of a mov-
ing picture serial. and the public
followed them with even greater
Zest because they were founded on
fact. Readers got TO the point
where they were impatient in their
wait for the next chapter in Shaf-
fer's wonderful story, and now that
he is back home again there are
thousands who have never laid ewes
on him who consider themselves his
fxiends. This is typified by the huge
stack of mail received by the young
aviator at his home in Dauphin
every day, letters from folks he
never heard of before urging him
to come to this place OF that place
to deliver his story from theater
stage or church platform, and fol-
lowing his first public appearance
at the Orpheum next Monday even
ing a route will be laid out for Shat
fer so that he caH-comply with these
requests and carry his thrilling page
of history personally into the towns
that have come to know him through
the pages of the press.
. Shaffer presents a picture that
makes one glad to gaze upon in his
striking French blue uniform dotted
many times by medals won for bra
very while flying "over the heads
OF the Huns" He Is tall. erect and
manly, and he will tell his thrilling
tale of adventure with an emphasis
that will leave no doubt about the
gratitude OF France over the enlist
ment in her forces OF such American
boys as he.
1t is the hope of his friends that
this night at the Orpheum next Mon
day may develop into a stirring tes-
timonial ON the part of his neigh
bors, and that none may be pre-
vented from hearing his story; the
prices have ben held to a popular
scale. Reserved seats will be placed
on sale. at the Orpheum box office
on Wednesday.
