London, July 3.-The former Ger.
man emperor will soon be placed on
trial. Premier Lloyd George made
this announcement in the House of
Commons to-day in his report on
the peace negotiations. The Pre-
mier declared that the tribunal
which would try the former en-
peror would sit in London. German
officers who had committed appall-
ing infamies, the Premier added,
would also be placed on trial.
The terms of the treaty with Ger
many in some respects were terrible,
the Premier said, but terrible were
the deeds which justified it and still
more terrible would have been the
consequences If Germany had sue
ceeded.
The German Army, the Premier
said, was at present inadequate to
disturb the peace of the feeblest of
the neighbors of Germany.
Lloyd George declared that the
British delegation has taken stand
resolutely opposing any attempt to
put a predominantly German popu-
lation under Polish rule.

Cable Tested For Use
in Underground System;
Poles to Come Down

City Electrician Clark e. Diehl to-
day tested cable at Wilkes Barre to
be used in this city for underground
police and fire alarm systems in Wal
nut street, replacing overhead wires.
1t is understood that as soon as the
tests are completed the cable is to
be sent to Harrisburg and will be
placed in conduits at once. Mr.. Diehl
before leaving said he will have ar
rangements made to do the under
ground work with no delay. AS soon
as these overhead wires are replaced
they will be removed from the poles.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is rapidly complet-
ing connections of the new under
ground system which has been placed
in Walnut street, and when this is
done. the long row of tall poles and
overhead wires will be taken down.
This work is to be finished in the
early summer.

or, in fact. very little of show, has
been arranged for the city.

ranged through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce and VIII

a large number of persons, while the
combined show of Barnum and
Bailey and Ringing Brothers, to-
gether with the street parade, will
attract a large number of others.

ings promise to be the biggest at
traction.

PROPPED BEFORE
JURYMEN, WOMAN
DENIES SLAYING
Nurse Gives Last Word to
Twelve in Trial For
Poisoning Patient
By Associated Press.

Lawrence, Mass, July 3.-Seate6
within six feet of the jury box and
propped in pillows, Mrs. Bessie M
(Skeels) Lundgren to-day gave a
last word to the jury in defending
herself against the charge that she
murdered her patient, Miss Flor
ence w. Gay, with poison. The
former nurse, pale but calm, made
absolute denial that she had given
Miss Gay or her brother, Albert j,
wilkins, of Bayonne, N. j., whom
she is also charged with having
poisoned, any medicine not pre-
scribed by a physician.
Il had nothing to gain by the
death of Miss Gay or my brother"
she said. II loved both"
Mrs. Lundgren sought to explain
the packages which she sent from
the Gay home at Andover to her
parents home in Bayonne as being
of food, instead of articles of cloth
ing or bric-a-bra which the gov
ernment contends she stole and to
cover which larceny the prosecution
charged she poisoned her patient.

SATURNS CALL ON VENUS
DISTURBED THE HEAVENS
Really Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey Are Not Stars of
Sufficient Class to Light Up the Skies

The configuration of heavenly
bodies in the western sky seems to
have attracted some attention last
evening, in spite of the haze and
smoke over the city. The appear
ance of the three stars, accompanied
by a dry" moon, is still unex-
planned, unless the Victory "V" was
the right answer.
Another suggestion was that the
very bright star is big Jess" Will
lard, the smaller one closing in on
him Dempsey, and the third one
keeping out of their way, Ollie
Pecord. Judging by the size of the
stars, Jess looks like a sure winner,
though the little fellow, Dempsey,
may have more speed.
What really happened was this.

Perhaps you have met the mar
who is offering automobiles dir

about him. Yesterday there was
wide search for this bargain indi
vidual, but he could not be found
and thereby hangs a tale.
For several days HarrisburSers
have been hearing of wonderful bar
gains in automobiles. 1t was said
several men have offered Government
automobiles at the above prices.
Everybody seemed to get the fever
and wanted an auto. Local autcmo-
bile dealers saw their business going
backward with such rare offers ard
they got their heads together and
investigated. Here is the answer;
Jokers and Worse
There have been both jokers and
worse at work. This was the an
nouncement made after the meeting
of auto dealers at the Penn Harris, |
Yesterday afternoon. AS far as is I
known, the crooks have not been
successful in Harrisburg. Their game
is to work the country districts; tell
about the thousands of unsold cars
the United States Government has
on hand and offer a car worth from
$7oO to $500 at $500 and upward.
The stipulation was that the buy
er must sign a paper and pay over
anywhere from $50 to 500 in ad-
vance, and the car would be dcliv- L
cred in a few days. Reports say that
four Cumberland county farmers,
bought cars on this plan. but they
never received the cars. Now for the ;
joker.
Now For the Joker
He heard that the Government had
many hundred cars at Baltimore and
wanted to SELL He went TO near
by depot and met someone not IN
authority who told him the report
was true. Then he made further in l
quiries and was told that Pdckdrds
and Dodge cars would be sold at 500
and s375 respectively under these
conditions:
Five persons in Harrisburg signed
the papers. This was two weeks ago.
No cars have arrived and now those
who bit are getting awake to the
fact that they were victims of Joke
They are glad they did not pay over
the money,
At the meeting yesterday 1t was
stated that one local dealer went TO
Washington and Baltimore ana re-
ported that all good cars the uhitsu
States Government needed would De
kept in service. The unused cars
would be taken back by the manu-
facturers. Cars used and neeuils
repairs would be sold in bulk TO the
highest bidders. That there were no
