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.

mother said. Things were going
smoothly until Miss Fuhrman noticed
that Harry carried a revolver. To
this she objected, and a quarrel
started.
Revolver Causes Trouble
In the letter received by Harry this
morning something concerning the
revolver quarrel was said. As soon as
he could get to the Fuhrman resi
dence Harry started to argue about
the matter. Miss Fuhrman persisted
in her refusal to allow her fellow to
carry a gun.
Then Harry asked for a glass of
water. When the girl went to the
kitchen he took the cause of the quar
rel from his pocket, pointed it to his
breast, and fired. The screaming girl
ran to the Mt. Pleasant garage for
aid and the police were notified.
At the Harrisburg Hospital the man

his wound was not fatal, but he Is

Dr. Surface Has Arranged to Ex
tend State Service Through
out Counties
M Over 1,000 or
* chards in all parts
of i J ennsyly an i a
work, that It will
result In a notable Increase in the
value of the fruit crop in half a de
cade. 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. The
commission was named to have charge
of the marking of cites and preserva
tion of proper objects. As a result of
federation meeting at the Capitol this
week the societies will report to the
new commission projects for com
memoration.
Cold Storage Cages. After three
postponements the cold storage act
test case has finally been fixed for
January 28 in the Dauphin county
court and no matter what the decision
may he It is the Intention to carry up
the case to the Supreme Court for a
determination of the constitutionality
of the act of 1913. The action is an
equity proceeding to restrain the dairy
and food commissioner from proceed
ing with enforcement of the act on the
ground that it violates the protection
to property guaranteed by the con
stitution. A number of big Philadel
phia firms are parties to the proceed
ing.
Pardon BoarjJ.—The State Board of
Pardons will meet on Wednesday with
six of its twenty-three cases, applica
tions for commutation of death sen
tences. The last three sessions have
had an unusual number of such final
pleas and three of the cases to be ar
gued are of men who have already
once been refused the clemency of the
Commonwealth.

Hook and Ladder Company 25
Years Old; fiig Banquet
Tonight
Arrangements have been complet
ed for an elaborate banquet and en
tertainment to be held this evening
in the parlors of the Paxtang Hook
and Ladder Company, No. 2, an ob
servance of the twenty-ifth anniver
sary of the organization of the com
pany.
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.

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

did results of the Red Cross s'>al cam

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."
