Men Will Object In this connection, railroad men in the Harrisburg district are not likely to look upon the revolutionary changes with complacency, especially the scheme of getting a lot more mileage at no Increase of wages. Their principal objection is the severance of the ties that unite them to Harrisburg. Many of them own their homes, both here and in Enola; many have children employed in gainful occupations, and they see themselves as sufferers if forced to transfer to Marietta or any other town smaller than Harrisburg.

The men take the view that the company can not be criticised for making every effort to increase its earning power, but that they should be given some slight consideration before the ties that cement them and theirs to Harrisburg shall be severed.

Hammelstown, Sept. 24. Residents of the borough are RAILROAD MEN TO OPPOSE CHANGES (Continued From First Page) miles farther within the present day limit without increased overhead cost.

'In short that long freight trains from Altoona and Northumberland could be pulled through to a proposed new classification yard at Marietta thirty miles farther at no additional cost of extra time more crews. Reports are that such a change, if adopted, would involve transfer to Marietta of many crews and other employes from Altoona, Harrisburg, Enola and Northumberland. No More Money For Men While this plan would mea.i longer hours for the men it is intimated that these could not object owing to the fact that the big locomotives deliver the trains at the terminal points now in much shorter time than their wage agreements specif" Millions Spent Recently Briefly, the advocates of the practical abandonment of the Enola yards, save for Cumberland Valley Division and other nearby classifications, figure that one third more distance, at no increased cost in wages and great saving of time, are the outstanding points. It was comparatively few years ago that millions were expended in establishing the Enola yards. Any change is certain to be well considered.

Another interesting railroad rumor has to do with the electrification of the lines between Marietta and Philadelphia. This is said to be under serious consideration, since the location of great power plants on the Susquehanna river. It is understood that the various proposed changes would not affect passenger traffic. No official will discuss the rumors mentioned, but the strenuous efforts to increase revenues by all manner of reductions in forces and other Twelve months' investigation first proved to us the worthiness of Paige sixes and eights.

YOUNG HECKSCHER TO HARRY PRETTY STAR OF STAGE Bankrupt Son of Multi Millionaire Was Recently Divorced New York) Sept 24. "Now it may be told!" His divorce is over his $5,000,000 bankruptcy still pending' and Ot Maurice Heckschcr, son of August Heckscher, multi millionaire philanthropist, is to marry the lovely lady of his dreams, Luella Gear, Broadway actress, who rose to stardom in a Broadway musical show.

Miss Gear made this admission yesterday, but said the date was not definite. However, friends say young Heckscher and Miss Gear are to be made man and wife within the next month. Then Miss Gear will continue her leading lady role, not in the musical comedy she left a short time ago to rest up at her Bayside, L. home, but in the house of Heckscher. This announcement does not surprise friends, who have known and have watched a marked attachment between the two, dating to about three years ago.

The first Mrs. Heckscher, nee Louise Vanderoff, also beautiful, obtained a Paris decree. She holds custody of their four children. MAGRUDER SAYS HE HAS PROOF (Continaed From First Page) but was really based on testimony taken before a special board called by the President three years ago; Says He Won't Be Muzzled "The special board was not really a board, but the same old bureau which had meddled with Naval affairs for years and accomplished nothing. What I said, of course, did not suit them and their cross examination did not suit me.

"I am an admiral of the upper half, and I got there without the in fluence of politics, petticoats or anything but merit. I am grateful to the United States Navy for taking me, a poor country boy and making me an admiral, but I am not going to be muzzled. "What I said in that article was the plain, unvarnished God's truth and I am going to stand back of it to the last spar. The truth is that they are spending money like hell and getting little for it. That is my personal view and opinion.

The Navy is not getting as much as the taxpayers and their, representatives in Congress are generously appropriating money for." Chnckles Over Story Admiral Magruder chuckled as he added: "It is all very It did not take much thought to deduce that there would be frothing at the mouth in Washington when that story was read. "But there is 'a rotten condition, and I have exposed it. The Navy is spending $300,000,000 and getting $200,000,000 worth of Navy. War extravagances have never stopped. I see it constantly.

The Navy was demobilized and I know it." POLICE TO RE ENACT SCENES OF MURDER WITH VICTIM'S WIDOW Hammonton, N. Sept. 24. Re enactment of the scenes surrounding the slaying of Dr. A.

William Lil llendahl by his widow, is the next step planned by detectives working on the mystery. Unsatisfied after six intensive millings in nine days, Atlantic county authorities said Mrs. Lilliendahl would be taken to the lonely spot on the Atsion road where her elderly husband was shot to death and requested to re enact all the details of the killing. They added that the 41 year old widow's story that two Negroes had slain Dr. Lilliendahl and robbed her while they were motoring five miles from here on September 15, was "far from satisfactory."

"The Shout of a King." BANMILLER ON STAND AS STATE WITNESS (Continued From First Page) August 13, for the purchase of 200 shares of Hupp Motor stock, the order for which had been executed a few day before. The amount of the check in this transaction was $5,282.64. The check i was deposited a bank at Phila delphia, where Cassatt and Company have their main office for his territory, on August 14 and would reach the Commonwealth Trust Company in Harrisburg, on which it was drawn, about August 15 or 16. Counsel for DeLoiie endeavored to show tnat the stock would have been delivered by that time in the form of a negotiable certificate and the funds in effect were really there to meet the check. Had Known DeLoiie Banmiller testified that he had known DeLone for about ten years.

"I don't know that we had any mu tual understanding as to. the arrangements, but when each transaction occurred the stock with draft attached was used to lift these checks of DeLone's," he said. He said that DeLone was to arrange with Banmiller for the payment of his (DeLone's) checks In this way instead of letting them run through the work of the bank. "I never examined DeLone's account," said Banmiller. "I left that to the bookkeeping department." Never Used Pass Book On cross examination by counsel for the defense, Banmiller admitted that he did not believe DeLone knew much about banking processes and that so far as he knew, DeLone never a pass book.

"As the funds were realized from the sale of stock the memoranda carried for the amounts due the Commonwealth Trust Company on DeLone's checks were to be reduced," Banmiller explained. At this point President Judge Hargest, before whom the cases are being tried, Interposed a question to Banmiller, "And DeLone knew what you were doing in these transactions?" Defense counsel immediately objected on the grounds that the question was leading and asked for a conclusion. Judge Hargest sustained the objection. Banmiller also testified to having in his possession several blank promissory and collateral notes signed by DeLone. On the collateral notes no collateral was listed.

JACK LOST HIS HEAD AT KNOCKDOWN JIM MORRISSEY SAYS Jim Mqrrlssey, special officer for the Pennsylvania Railroad police department, and referee at local fights, returned this morning from Chicago, where he was a ringside spectator at the Tunney Dempsey bout He left soon after for Philadelphia to see the doubleheader between Cleveland and Athletics. Asked for an opinion on the result of the fight he said: "Jack Dempsey lost his head when he knocked Tunney down for the count of nine. Tunney was down all right, and don't let any one tell you he could have gotten ud before the count of ten wax An. ished by the referee. It had been i agreed, that when a man was Knocxed down, the fighter scorim the knockdown must retire to a neutral corner.

"Had Jack Demnsev followed these instructions, he would have been champion to day. Tunney showed better generalship in keeping away from the former champion. Dempsey wanted revenge, and he was after Tunney all the time, forcing the fighting. "The referee did Just what any third man would do when a fighter la down. Tunney was down for fifteen seconds and holding on to the rope, but Dempsey was not back in a neutral corner.

He wanted to finish Tunney and his over anxiousness cost him the battle. I am of the opinion that Dempsey is as good man as he ever was except his legs are bad, but at that he still has the punch. It was a great crowd and wonderful sight. I am still a Dempsey man, but Tunney won the fight because he kept his head and deserves the honors that came to him. I still think, however, that Dempsey can finish Tunney." W.
