Beef In Pennsylvania
To the Editor of the Eienlrto Public Ledger:
Sir I was much Interested In tho
editorial In tho Kveninq Public Lbdobr

Meal of Pennsylvania Pood," especially
because of Its referenco to the produc
tion of beef cattle In the state IT while
thero isn't any question of Us adapta

ens or growing grAln. or fattening hogs,
when It pomes to breeding beef ani
mals I am somewhat doubtful, except
on the basis of much higher prices than
exist today, whether Pennsylvania con
successfully compete with other sections,
especially the Wtst and South. Tho
principal factor In tho economical pro
duction of cattle Is pasture of euch a

The South has tho rormer. I believe, In
somo sections, and tho West has the

tho fencing and "settling' the cattlo
country still has a considerable amount
of grazing land, but I havo yet to see In
quality and of any size. Cattle, like
Pennsylvania a pasture of really good

need room ana freedom and quiet. Ex

Pennsylvania, these conditions do not

West there Is an abundance of sunshine,
tho stock can stay out of doors tho

six months of ago, thoy are separated.

London, March III. The former
German, later American, now ilrltish
liner Imperntor has just completed the
most exciting journey of its career. For
three iliivs the glnnt vessel wns vir- '
tuall helpless, with n list of 4." de

were flooded. Some members of the crew
were killed.
Among those on hoard was Samuel
Vauclaiu, president of the Baldwin Lo
comotive Works, Philadelphia. Mr.
Vauclaln was on his waj to Paris to
confer with Kuronenn managers of the
Baldwin concern. Later he intends to1
visit Hussia Apparently he wns not
injured.
The Imperntor left New York on
March 8. All went well until last Sun-
day evening, when, in the course of a"
concert in the tirst-ilass snloon, 000
passengtrs were thrown from their seats '
as the big ship dropped to a sharp list, i
which Increased stcadilj. The passen
gers say there was no panic, however.
Several saloon passengers declared
that the received anonjnious warnings
not to sail on the ship. .
Mary Nash, well-known uetress. said :
"I received a in.vsterious warning
from AYashington that it would he dan- '
gerous to sail on the Imperntor, but I
determined to pay no attention to it and
sailed anjhovv. Tho staterooms were
flooded after the ship listed. M own
cabin had a foot and n half of water,
but I continued to orcup.v it. I had to
crawl to my bed over trunks thnt were
floating around over the floor."
Arthur Hmmnerstein said: "Wi-weie
