D. SIEGRIST. Eighth and Cumberland Lebanon, Attorney. IN MEMORIAM At a special meeting of the Board of Directors, Lebanon County Trust Company, held today, the following minute was unanimously adopted: The death of James Lord removes from the directorate of this Company and from the community a man of notable achievements. Gifted with sound business judgment and with rare personal qualities, he 80 directed the policies of his chosen business that from modest beginnings, it culminated later in Lebanon's foremost industry and came to occupy a place of recognized leadership in the iron trade of the country.

For many years James Lord was an outstanding figure among iron manufacturers and was honored with the presidency of his national trade association during a very important period of its history. He exemplified all that is best in American life, both as a soldier and as a citizen interested in the affairs of his local community. His allegiance for over forty years to every worthy cause, having the welfare and advancement of Lebanon at heart, is a matter of common understanding. He was always to be relied upon as a man of vision who gave liberally of his time and means, as 1 wise counsellor and as a loyal friend -in short, he was one whose passing leaves an indelible mark of sorrow upon all who were privileged to be associated with him. The memory of his genuine character and gracious personality will long be revered.

Therefore be it RESOLVED, That we do hereby record our deep feelings of personal loss in his death and that copy of this resolution be sent to the member of the bereaved family. Lodge Calls On President Hoping To Prevent Split In Party Threatened By World Court (Continved From Page the party, the feeling prevailed today among many Republican leaders that Mr. Harding had gone so far in his New York speech that it would now be impossible to head off an open break. Among Republican Senators who led the fight in the Senate against the league of nations some satisfaction was expressed because the president took pains to make it clear that the international court of justice, from his point of view, had connection with the league and that his administration would not take the United States into the league, even if the Senate should decide otherwise. On the other hand, Democratic Senators who have expressed approval of the Harding world court plan, saw in Mr.

Harding's speech some hope for eventual American participation in the councils at Geneva. They pointed to the President's elimination of the side door, the back door and the cellar door, as places for American entry, approved this policy, but insisted that the "front door" still remained with participation in The Hague court as the first and preliminary step. All of the discussion of the President's New York speech, however, was not unfavorably critical. Friends of the court plan believe that Mr. Harding played good politics by giving the country a clear cut explanation of his aspirations with respect to this country's international political activities, and looked upon the address as the opening gun in the nation-wide campaign to win support for the administration's approval.

They plan to lay down a barrage of publicity with the object of wiping out much of the Senatorial opposition by convincing the people that the President is right and that he deserves the support of the country. This publicity campaign will receive its greatest impetus during Mr. Harding's western tour this summer, when he personally will ask the country to stand by his fight to put the court proposal through the Senate in the winter. JUNE GRAND JURY TO DECIDE JAIL SEWAGE PLANS Mayor Case and members of City Council this morning called on the County Commisisoners relative to the laying of sewer pipes on South Eighth street, south of Locust, for the purpose of connecting the county jail property to the city sewage system. While nothing definite was arrived at, there is no doubt but that the Commissioners are heartily in favor of this project, but the matter will have to be submitted to the June Grand Jury.

To connect the jail property with the city system will cost approximately $4600. It. was stated at the commissioners office at noon that the present sewage system at the county jail has been condemned by the State Health Department and that something must be done very shortly in order to relieve the situation. SOLDIER'S BURIAL FEE. A soldier's burial benefit claim was approved today by the county commissioners for Mrs.

Mary Moyer, widow of Jacob E. Moyer a veteran of the Civil War. Mrs. Moyer died recently in Schaefferstown. Burial was made at Brickerville.
