RAILROADS LDIIVEB SIURIES FOR PEMSUFFW Reported That the Catting Will Begin at Top Starting With Vice-presidents Reports from Philadelphia that at the annual meeting of the Pennsyl vania Railroad officers and directors In March there would be a general reduction of salaries of officials higlier up, with a probability of some demo tions. have been verified. It is said to be in accordance with the policy an nounced some time ago to adopt some plan to prevent the laying off of men at intervals in order to keep within the annual appropriations. Pennsy officials in Harrisburg are of the opinion that the cutting of salaries will affect only vice-presidents and that the actual working forces will not be greatly benefited in being allowed to make full time throughout the year. Ijocal opinions are based upon the fol lowing dispatch from Cincinnati: "In the retirement of Joseph Wood as a director and first vice-president of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh it develops that a radical change among high-salaried executives is planned in the near future. "It is further learned that the man agement has determined upon a policy of drastic retrenchment. At a meet ing to be held at Pittsburgh on "Wednesday action will be taken in demoting high-salaried officials of the Pennsylvania lines west. It is the belief that a proposition will be sub mitted to dispense with the vice presidents of the lines west of Pitts burgh, of which, including Mr. Wood, there are five, all drawing fat salaries. "Instead of laying off hundreds of men, reducing salaries of freight and passenger agents and the army of clerks and other hard-working busi ness getters of the railroad, retrench ment will begin at the very top. "Besides Mr. Wood the other vice presidents of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, whom it is cur rently reported are to be demoted, are J. J. Turner, Edward B. Taylor, D. T. McCabe and G. L.. Peck. Action re garding eastern officials will be taken in March." After ten years' service for the Pennsy as assistant master mechanic at the Juniata shops of the com pany, George H. Ashman, of Altoona, will leave the employ of the corpora tion on February 1, to accept a highly remunerative and more responsible berth with the General Electric Com pany at Schenectady, N. Y. Following the completion of his work as an apprentice in the Atloona shops, Ashman secured a position with the company and made excel lent progress until finally, in 1904, he was promoted to assistant master me chanic. He is well known to em ployes of the company all over the State. His father is the Hon. William X. Ashman, a retired Judge of the Philadelphia county courts, who re- Bides in that city.

It is the plan to extend the State supervision of orchards and to double the number of places where demonstrations of scientific methods of controlling orchard pests are given. For five years the State has had at its disposal 300 orchards where lec tures on horticulture and demonstra tions of spraying, pruning and other work were given by demonstrators and Inspectors of the department, and 700 orchards, known as supervision orch ards, where the State supervised the work on the trees in return for these orchards being open for inspection by the public. Through the increased al lowances for the orchard work Dr. Surface has arranged to increase the number of demonstration orchards to over 600, distributed through every county and to start the lectures this year, and to extend the supervision over about 700 additional orchards. Operators lteport.—No hesitancy is being shown by anthracite coal op erators of Pennsylvania about mak ing rep/orts of their production for 1913 to the Auditor General's Depart ment as about a dozen have already been entered and it is expected from correspondence by officials that more will file very soon. It is probable that the test of the constitutionality of the act Imposing the tax of two and a half per cent, on the value of the coal, will be inaugurated very soon after the State makes a demand for pay ment. It is the Idea to send out bills for the tax as soon as the statements of the coal mined and prepared for market are In hand. The operators are entitled to be relieved of coal mined, but used for operation of col lieries. Will Co-operate.— The new State Historical Commission, which was named a short time ago by Governor Tener, will be tendered the co-opera tion of the State Federation of His torical Societies and of county socle ties as soon as it is organized.

Just twenty-five years ago on Sep tember 15 past, in a little side room of tho old Hotel Jerome, at Front and Conestoga streets, twenty-five men, representing citizens of the rapidly growing borough, met to discuss the need of the borough for a new fire company. After considerable discus sion it was decided to organize a new company. Jerome Hite, who had been elected president of the company, of fered to pay $25 into the treasury of the new company if he would be al lowed to suggest Its name. His offer was accepted and he named the com pany the Paxtang Hook and Ladder Company, which name It still bears. At that time the company had just thirty-five members and Its officers were as follows: President, Jerome Hite; vice-president, Harry Hull; sec retary, Allen Drawbaugh; treasurer, Joseph Metzgar; foreman, John Shupp, Sr.; first assistant, Jacob Grove; second assistant, Frank W. Clapp; trustees, Joseph Metzgar, Samuel Funk, Jacob Alberts, H. C. Stevens and W. H. Lyter. The First Truck The first truck owned by the "Hook ies" was a little 25-foot hand car riage and was stored in a little one story brick building at Front and Wal nut streets, which is now a part of Heagy's livery stable. The veteran firemen tell many tales of how they used to b~ing the little truck, which was as heavy as it was small, down the steep Walnut street hill and, how several times the momentum of the truck became so great that the car riage went across Front street and catapulted into the old Pennsylvania canal—the firemen with it. For eleven years the "Hookies" truck was stored in this place and the companies held its meetings in the various public halls. In 18S8 a plot of ground between Conestoga and Lincoln streets, on the canal side of the street, was donated to the Pax tang company. During the same year ! council passed an appropriation of"s2,- 800 with which .the present handsome two-story brick home of the "Hook ies" wus built. This new building was completed and dedicated in 1889. Since this time it has been handsomely furnish ed by the members of the company at their own expense and at the pres ent time contains a reading and loung ing room and a neatly furnished pool room besides the usual apportion ment of a modern fire house. The Paxtang Company is now equipped with a 45-foot truck, with two fine horses to pull it; the members are uniformed and are equipped with full rubber suits. In short the company is equipped with every modern aid for lire fighting. "Hookies" Always on Job It is the pride of the "Hookies" members that they have answered every one of the alarms sounded with in the last quarter century regardless of the part of the borough from which the alarm has come. The "Hookies" have taken an active part In every movement for the Improvement and betterment of the borough. During the panic of 1907 when thousands of men were out of employment at the steel works, the Paxtang Hook and Ladder house was turned into a cen tral distributing station for charity, and the members of the company so licited tho town and surrounding coun try for contributions to the charity fund. During this one winter it is estimated that they fed thousands of men, women and children besides giv ing them warm clothing. The present officers of the company, which now has a membership of 140 men, are: President, Robert Atticks; i vice-president, Jacpb Capella; secre tary. A. J. Sellers; assistant secretary, John B. McEntee; treasurer, James Coleman; trustees, Benjamin Capella, 4 J. Earl Keltn and George Lehr; fore man, J. B. McEntee; first assistant, Harry Martzen; second assistant, Harry Zerbe; driver, Chester Wollet; assistants, Edward Lesher, William Heisman and J. E. Kelvn. The committee in charge of the event this evening includes J. Earl Kelm, chairman; W. F. Hrasliers, John B. McEntee, Edgar Lesher and Wil liam Rider. The toastmaster will be A. J. Sellers. The banquet this evening will fit tingly round out a quarter century's active, efficient service. As guests this evening will be County, Recorder Wickersham; J. V. W. Reynders, vice president of the I . nnsylvanla Steel Company; Burgess Wiglield and all the members of tho borough council besides many other men prominent in the borough and county. SCARLET WOMEN HALE AITOOIIIA [Continued from First Page] have there been so many dissolute wo men plying their wiles in bad houses here, with prospects for an increase if there is no interference by the au thorities. I.ist liimono Brigade "County Detective James G. Spang ler is listing the places which are known to be harboring this kimono brigade and stated this morning that there will be a clean-up so sweeping that it will not be surpassed by the one which has just rid Harrisburg of its rabble, excepting that in this case the Inmates will be arrested and arraigned before tho court under the criminal code. "Not knowing that the atmosphere of the club rooms of this city is dif ferent from that of the Capital Cl.y, many of the newcomers last night attempted to make their way into different prominent places, but were refused admittance and given to un derstand that they would be forcibly ejected If they returned." SIFFUAGIST PLEDGE TO FIGHT AGAINST VICE Scranton, Pa., Jan. 17.—At a recent meeting of tho Lackawanna Suffragists they cordially endorsed the action of the Scranton minsters in tlielr vice crusade and pledged the aid of the bal lot when they acquired it.

SUMMER (HP FOR SUFFERERS IS LIKELI [Continued from First Page] tickets for the youngsters who travel to and from the city's open-air tuber cular schools, clothing and tickets for Mont Alto patients and trolley tickets for tubercular patients who go to and from the tuberculosis dispensary. Lack of Funds Prevented For some time the Anti-Tubercu losis Society has been hoping to estab lish a summer or open-air camp for tubercular sufferers where the patients could take the air and sunshine. Lack of funds has precluded any move in that direction, however. Dr. J. W. Ellenberger, secretary treasurer of the society, said to-day when asked as to contemplated action relative to the establishing of a school that the society had not taken the mutter up as yet, but that the splen did results of the Red Cross s'>al cam paign may lead to a discussion of the question. "No call for a meeting has been issued as yet." said he, "but I've no doubt that the meeting will be held in the near future. At that meeting, nat urally, the results of the seal sale will be discussed, and it is likely that the summer camp problem will be pretty thoroughly considered."
