Booze Mems Convention Is
on, but Oh, So Different

Reading, Pa, Aug. 12.-It was a
doleful set of delegates which ar
rived here to attend the fifteenth
annual convention of the State
Liquor Dealers Association, which
opened to-day. Their old-time en-
thusiasm is lacking. They say no
business has suffered more radical
changes than has theirs. They can
hardly reconcile themselves to the
new conditions.
The convention will continue three
days. Thomas ]. O'Connor. of Erie.
is president of the State organiza-
ton. 1t is announced that no ad-
journment will be taken for so
cial' purposes. but that everything
will be strictly business. This IS
a departure, as heretofore the con-
ventions We're nearly all social.

each as they please. There will be
nothing sold under ten cents. All
coupons not used will be redeemed
by the cashier.
Must Be No Crowding
1t was explained at the meeting
this afternoon that the purpose of
making "a rule of this kind was to
prevent crowding about the sale
counters. Mayor Daniel l.. Keister
will have an officer at each tirehouse.
In order to save time it was sug-
gested that purchasers have ready a
list of goods wanted, buy promptly,
and make room for the next Gus
toner. Prospective buyers will not
be limited to any number of cou-
pons. They may buy one or more
coupons, but once on the inside
must make their purchase without
any delay.
1t was also said this afternoon
that there might be a number of
folks who would not want u 12-
pound can of bacon. To overcome
this, two or more persons may buy
one can Jointly, and divide the bacon
when they reach home. 1t was
stated emphatically that there would
be no exchanges made, nor will any
orders be received by telephone.
This food was secured through the
efforts of the Municipal Food Com
mittee named by the Mayor. The
latter is the only person who could
sign an order for the food. and it
must be understood that the canned
goods and meats will be offered to
the people of Harrisburg at Govern
ment prices Every effort will be
made to prevent any person or per-
CO fro l.
lotment named, six cans each of the
three vegetables, six cans of corned
beef, two cans of roast beef, and
one can of bacon.

Ready to Go
Let the city pay me my money
and l will leave at any time," Mr.
Berrier replied in answer to a query
about settlement. THE Supreme
Court ruled on the payment of DAM
ages for improvements since III,
and as soon as / am paid 1 will
trlct feel the same way. Some OF
them told me so number of
times"
The question of payment for im-
provements since 1871, was one of
the legal points argued before the
Supreme Court. The Dauphin county
court decided the city must pay for
the improvements since that date,
and the city appealed from the de-
cision, but the higher court sus-
tanned the county judges.
When 1t was learned that a Tele-
graph representative had spoken to
some of the property owners an
other who had not been visited
called by telephone to give his opin-
ion in favor of prompt settlement by
, the city.
Wants to Move
Just say that / want the city to
take over the properties now. I
heard that you were speaking to
hood, and I'm one you didn't get to
see." The call was made by ]. E.
Reed, owner of 1920 North Front
street. He said that william T.
Reed, owner of 1922, and Mary A.
Reed, who owns 1924, are of the
same opinion.
Fred w. Dinger, 1924 North
Front street, is another resident in
the district who does not think there
| Ting the west side. controversy.
I'll go just as soon as they give
me notice, with about two or three
months to find another place." he
said. I'D like to see this whole
business closed up now"
1t is said that in one or two in
stances owners of properties secured
options on places in other parts of
the city but had TO release them
because they expired before the time
that 1t was thought the city would
make payment.
A. F. Dintaman, who conducts a
boat livery at 1114 North Front
street, said he is not anxious TO go
because It will mean that his place
OF business will be closed. II have
been here for many years and have
oullt up big business. Why should
l care to leave?" Mr.. Dintaman said.
vi course, won't DO anything to
stop the improvement now that all
the points have been decided. But
was determined to get what I be-
neVed was due me, and I must COM
! pliment the courts for their fair
treatment of me and the careful
consideration they gave to the
cases."
In October motions for new trials
in the cases on the east side of the
street, in which the city is endeavor-
ing to assess benefits for proposed
improvements on the west side, will
De argued before Judge S. j. NJ.
McCarrell. Counsel for the propert<
owners claim that the city has ES
right to assess benefits on tho dts,
trict when the improvement will be

| Other legal questions about the pro-
ceedings also maj be argued.

Carpenter, heavyweight champion
of France, will probably come to
the United States late next Decem-

ia a letter from Lieutenant Ben

maker for bouts promoted by the

Carpenter, it is said, will be ac-

French bantamweight, who is well
known in the United States for his
creditable showing in the ring
here.
It is not Carpenters intention
to meet Dempsey Immediately. He
probably will box with Americas

good against these fighters, will
