NOT WORK An Effort by the "Outs" to Squeeze the Acknowledge Defeat and Withdraw Much Advertised Bill in Expert Accountants Prove That Company Had Money to Pay Dividends and is in Healthiest Confidence in Officers and Management Unbounded. The suit in equity brought by C. W. Wilhelm, and the Wilhelm family, of Reading, against the American Iron Steel Manufacturing han been withdrawn by the plaintiffs, who pay the entire costs of case. It was claimed in this salt that the American Iron Steel Co.

liad. impaired its capital by the payment of dividends on common stock, and Insinuations were freely thrown out of bad and dishonorable management. The Wilbelms, who bad sold all their common stock, and held only preferred stock, prayed that an injunction might be declared prohibiting the future payment of common stock dividends. The officers and management of the company, knowing it to be in first class condition, nevertheless employed the services of one of the leading expert accountants of the country, who went over every item of its accounts the date of its incorporation. The result was most gratifying, if aiot unexpected.

The conservative analysis of the expert proved the company to be in even better shape than announced in its published annual reports, excellently well managed, and on a most sound basis It is presumed that the plaintiffs became aware of this fact and withdrew the suit accordingly. The company was most anxious to have it coiur to 'trial, knowing what the result would be. SUIT DISCOUNTED HERE. When the bill was filed with more or less nourish of trumpets last fail, ir. Lebanon hardly a ripple was felt.

Holders of common stock held on with just as firm a grip 'and even invaded the Philadelphia market to buy more. The suit was viewed as an effort by the "outs" to squeeze the "ins." and the bluff was played that now ended so ingloriously. The pulUished reports of the company have apart-ntly satisfied all Lebanon stock holders, and that phase of the report referring to -betterments was one of Its features. The management possesses the full confidence of the discerning public alert to know that the Americai Iron Steel company can show up a plant than which there is no trade than whose there is uo greater. Comments of.

"I told you so." "Just as I thought," were heard when it was generally learned that the bottom had dropped out of the suit. WORK AMONG RED SKINS. Mrs. A. M.

PROJECT IS DULY LAUNCHED To be Built by Local five Thousand Needed for Con Picturesque Route Along the Quittapahilla Boom for Valley Street Railway Company Wili Aid the Schaefferstown Line May Also be Ric Farming Districts Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held at Noll's store, North Annville township, near Sj-ner, of prominent residents of that locality, including Daniel Kline, proprietor of Valley park, who are interested in having a branch trolley line built between Aunville and Valley Glen park, a distance of six and a half miles. The movement was given a splendid boom at this meeting, and while the Lebanon Valley street railway company is not back of the new enterprise, it is tinderstood that the company is in hearty co-operation with the contemplated scheme and will aid the new project should it ever materialize.

Lebanon was represented at the meeting by Charles H. Smith, superintendent of the Lebanon Valley street rail- 'way. Mr. Kline, the proprietor of Valley Glen park, itakes a deep interest In the new project, and has been over the conemplate line to secure in many eases a right of way, and in others, of the opinions of the land owners concerning the project At the meeting Mr.Kline made a very encouraging report, in which he expressed himself as being much pleased with the reception he received from the parties, and anticipates no trouble nor expense in securing the privilege desired. Even at this early stage of the proceedilgs, it was stated that residents in that lo- have already signed releases and offered other inducements, giving their lands without asking or claiming any damages, a condition that enthused those present at the meeting to added interest and effort.

In conversation with Mr. Smith immediately after the meeting, he said ot a "News" man that a nucleus for the new line was given additional life at this meeting from a financial standpoint. The purpose is -to finance the company with local or home capital, and it was announced that already $10,000 had either been subscribed or promised by the men -in attendance from Aunville, -Syner and Palmyra, and the surrounding vicinity of the park, which, should the road be built, would be the terminus of the line. Supt. Smith gave those present an idea of the cost of a trolley line, extending a distance of over six and a half miles from Anuville to the park, and approximated the necessary expenditure at not less than $10,000.

per mile, making a total of at least for constructing the entire branch Mr. Smith assured those present that if they succeed in raising $30,000 or he would see that the remaining amount will be forthcoming at the proper time. The matter of the new line was discussed pro and con by those present, and a number of suggestions were WAS JARRED UNCONSCIOUS. Samuel Brown's Jolting Mixup With a Lebanon Street Car.

SCHAEFFERSTOWN TROLLEY. Project to Connect the "Garden Eden" With Lebanon. of It Is stated upon good authority that in the very near future a movement will be made by resident capitalists of this city and Schaefferstown. for the construction of a line from this city to old Heidelberg. What route may be selected or where the new line may connect with the Lebanon valley railway, are matters not divulged for the obvious reason that property is desired at as little cost as possible.

Whatever route is chosen, the new venture will pass through one of the richest farming districts in this connty. There is a pretty park in Schaefferstown, and it is understood that some of the capitalists largely interested in the Lebanon Valley railway company, are considering proposed road with much favor.

Manager 362, Caxton Building, jan10-12-17 19 The rumor widely current Monday evening that Freitag had made a cor- fession wherein he was represented as declaring that McGill rifled Shuey's pockets after striking him on the head with the loaded club, is vehemently deniel by Freitag, who continues to protest that McGill alone can tell the story of the murder. What led to the circulation: of the reported confessions were two conversations on the part of Freitag, overheard by- several men in the vicinity at the time of their utterance. It seems that after Freitag had re covered from his ghoulish mirth a Judge Ehrgood's righteous indigna tion the miscarriage of prisoner returned to-the trial table 'where one of his counsel "that Freitag's conscience is free from, the burden of Shuey's blood," callec District Attorney Henry over and saic to Freitag: "Tell Mr.

Henry the truth, did you kill Shuey?" "No, I didn't," "responded Freitag where upon Mr. Henry, with aa incisive doubt in his tones, curtly firec "Well, if you didn't who did? Did McGill?" Freitag answered with a leer "AsK him." Sheriff Coppenhaver's arrival with open hand cuffs cut s-hort the colloquy. The prisoner's only additional sally being, when told that his term, would expire in 12 years. "Oh. I-can stand on my head that expression well-known in the crook lingo.

Upon reaching the jail and while the two men were in the main corridor awaiting placement in their respective cells, Freitag, glaring at McGill with, a murrteroiis look, snarled a complaint accompanied with an obscure the first word "spoken by him to his pal for many "What did you turn state's evidence for. Did you win out by turning reformer?" McGill stammered out that he "did not know why he had he certainly had not gained Then it. was that Freitag, with another flow choice profanity and obscene malediction, declared to.McGill: "If you had. kept your mouth, shut, both be free," and MeGill sheepishly answered, "I guess that's so." These remarks, containing as they do, broad intimations of a coniplite knowledge of how Shuey was murdered, and a further knowledge that many avenues were open to escape if silence- on the part of both men could be maintained, led to the rumbr of confession. When a "News" man sought direct information, he was met wtth.

the advice "Read the testimony given at the trial." The incident was apparently closed. But with or without confessions, the universal opinion in the community seems to be pithily ized in Judge Ehrgood's declarations to the prisoners from the bench: "YOU WERE CLEARLY GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE." evening, Black: Chiffon Boa, Cumberland, between Fifth anl Sixth.
