BRETZ RENEWS BAIL IN SEEKING TO BE RE-TRIED Harry M. Bret, the attorney, who was convicted a few months ago on four charges of embezzlement, today renewed his bail to guarantee his appearance in court in these cases on February 10, and court attaches are of the opinion that the Judges on that day will render a decision and act upon Bretz's application for new trials.

In three other cases Bret entered bail for his appearance at the March Quarter Sessions. In all feeven cases the bail aggregated $1700 and Bretz's father-in-law became his surety. The bond in one case is $500. in two it is $100 each and In the remaining four it is $250 each. Neither the District Attorney, the" court clerk nor the attorneys for Breta were able to say this morning why Brets gave bail to appear in court on different dates, but they agreed it Is wholly probable that opinions will be filed on the February date.

Just before Bretz entered bail the Prothonotary announced the list of cases that will be argued in court on Tuesday and among them is the Court rule on Bretz "to show cause why he should not be disbarred." Several other criminal cases will be argued on Tuesday. The list follows: Commonwealth vs. Nat Feldstwn, motion for new trial; Comonwealth vs. William D. Markley, motion for new trial; H.

Homer Mater, rule to pay money into court and petition tor mandamus; Domenick vs. Theresa Houseman Iongo, argument; Ira D. Lowery vs. J. H.

Ogden Armour sitting opposite, read letters passed between packers, as evidence. Heney's fire centered around secret control of the Pro-visioner." Packers "chipped" in" to pay George L. McCarthy, general manager, $5000 a year in "fees," in 1916, Heney declared.

"That was the year the Borland resolution was up," Heney added. Letters from Henry Veeder, of Swift, to Arthur Meeker, of Armour, showed the proportionate amounts to he paid by Armour, Morris, Swift and Wilson, totalling $5000. There is no question but what he earned his money," Veeder wrote. von Schrenk, representing the "National Provisioncr," denied knowledge of his paper having received money from the packers. TRIED YANKS IN PRISON CAMPS PARIS, Jan.

25. Traitors to the United States worked among American prisoners in Germany endeavor-in? to win them to the German C8U96, i. When they failed them of the right of the Hun. other agents sought to spread the doctrine of Bolshevism. And when this failed every effort was made to break the morale of the man imprisoned, through cruelty and abuse.

Sergeant Edgar M. Halyburton, of the 16th U. S. Infantry, who was a prisoner In the camp at ltastatt, Germany, tells tho story of the German propaganda there and the disloyalty of two American soldiers. Tlic Disloyal Americans According to Halyburton, Private Nicholoff, 23rd Infantry, and Private 18th Infantry, were traitors to tho United States and co-operated with Captain von Taucher, the German propaganda chief at the camp, to reduce the morale of the other Americans.

Neither Nicholoff nor Halas were Americans. Nicholoff, whose real name was Minchoff, was a Bulgarian. He tried to enlist under his own name at Providence, R. and TRAITOR TO WIN 3050o S2o 46o 8nc. 50c.

CALDWELL. Sheriff. PLUMS TO DROP MONDAY EVENING I-Tom Page One I were presented in the Senate and referred to committee, last Wednesday and about this number were presented in the House but not referred with the of the prohibition amendment resolution to committees because the committees had not been named when the bills were sent to the chief clerk. These bills, with probably 100 more, will make their appearance In the House and committee references will follow. It is believed the Senate rush of bills also will be bigr.

None of the administration bills for the reorgani sation or me Agricultural Depart ment, the consolidation of certain bureaus and commissions, the cation of the Conservation Derart-ment, the creation of a Workmen's Compensation Department and other measures suggested by the Governor has yet been put into final shape. May Cable Wilson to Urge the Naval Bill WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. An appeal by cable to President Wilson to ure Congress to pass at this session the. Navy appropriation bill top the 1919-20 fiscal year, which provides for Secretary Daniels' big Navy program, was being seriously considered by Democratic leaders this afternoon.

Opposition to Secretary Daniels program which developed among Democratic as well as Republican members of the House Naval Affairs Committee, was one reason -for the Democratic leaders plan. More Republicans than Democrats on the committee are reported to favor the program, Representative Kelly, Re- nnhllrfin nf Mlphiirnn havln.

Schuylkill County officials are BIG SURPRISES PROMISED FOR' CHARITY BALL That Harrlsburg is very rapidly resuming its normal state of mind after tho war is evidenced by the tremendous demand- for tickets to the Charity Ball to be held next Friday night at the Penn-Harris. Henderson Gilbert, of the committee in charge of the affair, said this morning that advance calls for tickets already have brgken all records, and the flood of checks and currency which came to the committee today was astounding. Governor Sproul is to be on hand, with Highway Commissioner Sadler and many others of tho Governor's official family, so that the affair will have a deidedly "official" air. Attention is again called to the fact that it is not required that guests wear dress or go to the party masked.

While the ball is a masquerade there will be hundreds of attendants in ordinary costumes. The committee today arranged for a of stage theatrical "grips" who will handle the machinery for the still-mysterious ceremonies that will uccompnny the unmasking at 11 o'clock. Several men will be required for this job, and a lot of specially constructed apparatus. One corner of the Penn-llarris lounge is being reserved for this feature, to bo" staged as the clock strikes 11. The hotel management continues to receive many calls for supper reservations.

Ball tickets do not include supper. The Associated Aid Societies, it is expected, will benefit to the extent of not less than $6000 as a result of the ball. That will mean the sale of 1200 tickets. Ordinarily some mighty heavy expenses would come out of the gross but charitable Harrlsburg men und women have arranged to take care of all expenses connected with the ball, so that every penny of the receipts will go to charity. TESTIFY ABOUT BIG COAL SUPPLY From Pace One much interested because their coal lands are valued for tax purposes, at only $25,000,000 and the coal companies want that reduced.

"The Courts In the northern fields fixed a taxable price of coal at 25 cents a ton," said Davis. "The corporations in Lackawanna paid increase in taxes as the result of our investigations. "We find that in this estimate of tho valuation of coal lands it would take 400 years to eat up the profit in cola, supposing the profit is $2 a ton. "The rity of Scranton increased its school income J300.000 a year op the increase in' coal land taxation, I recommended," testified Davis. "In the southern or Schuylkill there is in place 128,000 acres.

Originally there was in place tons of coal. "Allowing ten million tons a year for seventy years there was a removal of 70,000,000 tons, leaving 22,340,000,000 remaining," said Davis. The Philadcphia Reading Coal and Iron Company, the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and the Hudson Coal Company are the chief operators of these vast tracts. There was considerable discrepancy between the estimates of Sckol and Davis, but Davis said this was because "I have been very conservative and conceded every doubt to the operators." When witnesses testified, that roy- altlcs paid on the mined, coal were nnrreTibure royalties SO that the amounts increase with tho price of coal Senator Jones of the investlsat. ingr committee classed them as progressive royalties that are burdens on the price of coal.

One of the witnesses testified that the Anthracite Consumers' 'league is well able to substantiate charges that Schuylkill County is bankrupt because tho coal companies have been dodging tax. The Senate committee visited Gil-berton a mining town, which witnesses said Is unable to meet its obligations and. without finances to prevent floding of miners' homes.

Board Will Act on Brumbaugh Job Tuesday The War Defense Board, with Governor Sproul as chairman, replacing former Governor Brumbauph, and Lieutenant Governor Bcldlemnn, in place of former Lieutenant Governor McClaln, will meet next Tuesday at the Capitol at 2 clock in the afternoon.

Thousands of Unlicensed Dogs Sentenced to Die Less than twenty-five per cent, of the dogs in the city and county have been licensed for 1919 and county officials this morning said it looks much aa though many canines will be exterminated by constables during tho next few months. Constables' reports show that 825 dogs were killed last year when more, than 7000 were licensed. Fewer than '2000 licenses have been issued this year notwithstanding that the law requires the dog owners to pay the tax on or before January 15. The next step will be, officials said, to furnish the constables with lists of the unlicensed dogs so they can start the wholesale killings. Fox Hunter Black Bear; to.
