FOOT AltD MOUTH IS
HOT INCREASING
State Officials Say That All Dam
ages Are to Be Ascertained by
Agents of the Stock Board
State Livestock Sanitary Board of
ficials to-day reported that no new
cases of foot and mouth disease had
been reported In the last twenty-four
hours and that a systematic effort
was being made to ascertain the exact
value of all cattle that had to be
killed to prevent spread of the disease,
so that steps for .full remuneration
would be facilitated if taken up by the
Legislature.
William liallman and David Ful
iner, of Lancaster, have been arrested
on complaint of an agent of the board.
They are charged with violating the
Slate quarantine regulations against
foot and mouth disease by driving
cattle over the roads without a permit,
iiallman and Kulmer held a public
sale at the Conestoga Inn on Novem
ber 6; they were warned against mov
ing the cattle, but, It is charged, dis
regarded the warning and delivered
soine of the cattle during the night.
Foot and mouth disease subsequently
developed in several herds to which
the cattle had been delivered and the
sale cattle are suspected of conveying
the contagion. The herd owners are
indignant because of the diesregard
of the quarantine precautions and
threaten civil action against liallman
and Fultner.

New Jersey Coast Hit
By Wind and Rain Storm
Hy Associated Press
Atlantic City, Dec. 7.—The north
east storm which has been raging for
two days was still lashing the New
Jersey coast to-day though with less
fury than yesterday. The terrific
pounding of the sea has caused con
siderable damage but in no one place
was it very serious except at the steel
pier in this city where the music pa
vilion on the ocean end of that struc
ture is threatened with destruction.
The piling under the hall has been
weakened and if the storm does not
soon abate the big auditorium may be
wrecked.
The high water piled up tiy the
storm flooded parts of Longport and
Ventnor south of Atlantic City and
washed away a number of bulkheads
protectng handsome summer resi
dences. The high water also invaded
the ocean end of several Atlantic City
streets, but no serious damage was
done.
Sea Bright Under Water;
Communication Is Cut Off
By Associated Press
Sea Hright, N. J., Dee. 7.—The turn
ing of the ebb tide here to-day found
Sea Bright's streets under water, the
railroad tracks covered by the ocean
for two miles and a storm-lashed sea
sweeping through breaks in the sea
walls constructed after the floods gf
last year. With high tide to come the
situation was alarming and residents
practically abandoned hope of pre
venting great loss.
I The tide was sweeping over the
[ground floors of houses and there ap
! peared to stretch unbroken stretches
j of water between Normandie and the
[highlands, several miles. A loss es
timated at SIOO,OOO was caused by
the storm during the night. The tirst
[National Bank vaults were flooded to
three feet deep. Waves broke over
Ocean boulevard skirting the shore
and washed the earth from under
many cottages. Several were in dan
ger of collapse.
Storm Moves Northward
With Greater Intensity
Washington, D. C., Dec. 7. —Steadily
increasing in its intensity and moving
slowly northward, the sixty-mile gale
which has been whipping the Atlantic
coast since Saturday night was central
to-day off the Virginia Capes. Storm
warnings were a-flutter from Hatteras,
N. ('., to Kastport, Maine, advising
mariners to seek safe harbors.
The unknown warship reported
ashore off fhe Delaware coast is be
lieved by Navy Department officials
here to be one of a foreign fleet. The
safe arrival of two American destroy
ers at Norfolk and a report from the
captain of the battleship Kansas that
he was riding out the storm off the
Delaware Capes disposed safely of all
the American war craft in the vicinity.
No American warship answering the
description of the fighter reported
ashore —four funnels and and a fight
ing top—is anywhere near that vicinity.
Ship Not Using Wireless
To-day no word hart- come from the
revenue cutter Itasca, which put out
yesterday from Norfolk to aid the
stranger. Navy officials say thut if the
ship is one of the foreign belligerents,
she probably Is not using her wireless
for fear of informing her enemies of
her position.
The velocity of the Rale last night
touched the high records In some In
stances. At midnight the wind was
blowing 72 miles an hour at lllock
Island, 60 at Nantucket, BO at Sandy
Hook, 36 at Atlantic City, 110 at Dela
ware Breakwater. 36 at Norfolk and
36 at (.'ape Hatteras. When the storm
became central off the Virginia ("apes
to-day, however, the wind velocity in
that vicinity increased. The following
message was received to-day from the
keeper of the life, saving station at
Ocean City. Md., in answer to an In
quiry by Secretary Daniels:
"I'nable ascertain nationality of
kind of ship; has four funnels, lighting
top on each as far as possible to see.
Weather thick, blowing for assistance."
Although the Kansas had reported
she was waiting for thi gale to abate,
Secretary Daniels early to-day sent in
structions for liar to report auaU >

[Continued From First Page]
is lost sight of frequently for no more
logical reason than the town's political
status. Being the State capital it is a
storm center of political activities and
is rarely associated in the average
mind with anything else.
"And yet Harrisburg, with its adja
cent towns, which are merely geogra
phical continuations separated from
the main division by imaginary lines,
is one of the leading cities of Its size
in the I'nited States, from a purely
commercial viewpoint.
"It is one of the first to feel the
stringency when there is a stringency,
and it is one of the last to deceive it
self with an artificially stimulated
optimism at the first sign of a revival
of trade. The business world ol' Har
risburg is essentially a conservative
business world, and the business men
of Harrisburg Insist upon something
more tangible in the way of prosper
ity than mere prophesy of better times
to come.
"It means a great deal, therefore,
when virtually all the men of affairs
in the town agree that 'the worst is
over,' that the further point of cau
tion has been reached, and that the
time nas come for greater productive
ness in all lines, iron, steel, textile,
cigars, silks and the hundred other
branches of industry upon which the
workpeople of Harrisburg depend,
with no thought of the shitting politi
cal fortunes of Capitol Hill.
"Harrisburg is shaking off thfe leth
argy of a j ear. and every day since
early in November has noted the re
vival of some dormant factor in the
community's industrial life.
(Gilbert's A'lews
"Henderson Gilbert, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce, who is a mem-,
ber of the largest wholesale and retail
hardware business in this section, is!
young and enthusiastic and all that,
but he believes in the steady methods
of the older generation. Mr. Gilbert
is optimistic, however. He voted a
dozen or more proofs that the time
for taking a step forward has arrived.
"The Pipe Beading Works, a large
Harrisburg corporation, is putting in
new machinery, and it was learned
that it is about to begin the manufac
ture of a large order of shrapnel for!
Hi" United Stales government, in ad
dition to its other activities.
"The Pennsylvania Steel Company,
at Steelton, which is actually a part of
llarrlsburg, is engaged in the construe-j
tion of betterments to cost $5,000,000.1
"In a few Pennsylvania cities the
silk industry sagged after the war be
gan for reasons already given in the i
public prints, but there was no depres
sion in Harrisburg. Indeed, the firm l
of Pelgram & Meyer, which also owns
silk mills at Paterson, N. J., have
found their facilities inadequate and
have just completed the installation
of forty new machines.
"The Susquehanna Woolen Mills,
across the river in New Cumberland,
are running full time, and the same
is true of the Moorhead Knitting Com
pany in the city proper. The Moor
head Company, which markets its pro
duct direct to the retailers instead of
through the medium of jobbers, has
not as a matter of fact felt the pinch
much, and it expects to reap some of
the benefit:, that at'e bound to fallow
the commercial dislocation in Europe.
As an evidence of this, attention was
called to the fact that the company
had been asked if it could knit a cer
tain type of women's hosiery or "half
hosiery" to be more precise, known as
the "ladies' Chinese stocking." Bales
of these goods have been manufactur
ed heretofore in Germany, but the
works there are no longer running.
The fact that the concern here can do
the work was cited as a fair illustra
tion of the perfect equipment of Amer
ican plants.
"It was also learned that the Har
risburg Boiler and Manufacturing
Company has taken a large number of
orders recently for fire apparatus and
other products.
"Another evidence of prosperity is
the steady increase In the business of
the Light and Power Company. When
trade revives businessmen resume the
use of its power.
Mr. Merman an Optimist
"Edward S. Herman, head of .Tolin
C. Herman & Co., cigar manufacturers
and distributors of cigars, tobacco and
cigarets, is one of the active factors In
the business life of Harrisburg. He
Is a director in nearly every bank in
town, in the Public Service Company,
in the Moorhead Knitting Company, in
the Pennsylvania Dyeing and Pleach
ing Company and In a few other cor
porations. lie is also principal owner
of tlie New Cumberland National
Bank, where the bleaching plant
stands.
" '1 do not believe there is a doubt,'
said Mr. Herman, 'that we ure on the
eve of a business revival: indeed, I
believe the revival is already here, al
though the winter may be a little
tight. There is some disposition of
wait until Spring for the greatest acti
vity, but 1 find at directors' tables and
elsewhere that the tone is almost uni
versally optimistic. I have four fac
tories, and they may be cited as exam
ples of what causes a sag in business.
Manufacturers do not buy raw mater
ial on a falling market, they wait and
wait for a further decline; and mer
chants do not stock up when there Is
even a slight doubt about the future.
Merchants have been going light, and
many of them, the vast majority I
should say, are pretty well sold out,
and must replenish. This will create
a demand that will stimulate manufac
turing at once.'
•' "One trouble with our textile trade
iis the uncertainty as to cotton. A
I manufacturer hesitates to buy cotton
I when his rival may be able t<- set It
a little cheaper by watting, and thus
be able at a later date to undersell him
in the market, but at that I believe the
cotton situation Is clearing. Indeed,
I feel confident of the future, and in
my own varied enterprises X am acting
on that principle. I am only one of
thousands.
•' 'Of course It all depends in the
last analysis upon the buying capacity
of the public. The merchant is the
reservoir. lie orders the goods and
when he sells the reservoir has to be
refilled. If he does not soli he does
not order, and the factory shuts down
or runs on part time.'
"Other Harrisburg Arms that seem
to be on the crest of an advancing
wave of prosperity, from what your
correspondent could learn, are the
Hreisford Packing Company, which is
running to capacity; the Harrisburg
Baking Company, the Johnston Har
vester Company, the 801 l Manufactur
ing Company, and the C. E. Bear Com
pany.
Railroads Take on Men
"The railroads, which laid off men
early in the year and last summer,
are taking scores of them back as
business increases. And the railroad
is an important factor In the indus
trial life of Hnrrisburg, quite apart
from the fact that It Is needed as a
common carrier. About one-flfth of
the people of the United States live
within a radius of 300 miles of the
city and Its railroads radiate in seven
different directions.
"As a distributing center it. is In
advance, the correspondent was told,
of any oilier city of its size in the
United States.
"Extensive freight classification
yards, with through and frequent car
service for shipments large and small,
are a lure to manufacturers, and the
growth of the city along manufactur
ing lines has been steady and con
tinuous."
Harrisburg Will Suffer;
Produce Supplies Cut Off
llarrishurg was hit by the storm in
many ways. While there was sleet
and rain yesterday, and more rain
to-day, the results of this storm will
he felt to-morrow with the arrival of
produce shipments from the East.
Failure on the part of local merchants
to Ket in communication with their
Eastern commission houses to-day is
taken as an indication that there will
lie a shortage in supplies to-morrow.
Local dealers usually place their
orders for fish, fruit and oyster sup
plies early in the week. Tuesday and
Friday are the l>lg days lor the ar
rival of these supplies. Local dealers
report few oysters and fish In llarris
burg to-day. The storms will prevent
oyster and llshhoats from doing: busi
ness along; the Jersey coast, so no sup
ply is expected to-morrow.
The storm was too far East to seri
ously affect the running of trains over
the Pennsylvania and Reading Rail
roads. Whenever wire trouble occurs,
orders j«re given to run under cau
tionary signals. Between Paoli and
Philadelphia it was reported that
there was considerable wire trouble.
Signalmen were out in force yesterday
and early to-day.
Rain fell in Harrlsburg to the depth
of more than an inch up to noon to
day and was still falling. Weather
bulletins were delayed to-day because
of wire trouble, and It was uncertain
as to how long the rain would con
tinue to fall, and when the storm was
likely to cease. Indications were that
no weather map would be issued to
day.
