TUESDAY EVENING, AUTOMITIC SWITCHES IN REDDING YARDS Will Be Put in Service March 1 and Do Away With 20 Switchmen Unless weather conditions prevent the new automatic switching system in the Rutherford yards of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, will be put In op eration on or about March 1. Tests may be made for the benefit of a num ber of officials before that date. This new system wIU throw at least twenty switchmen out of position, who will be looked after, as far as possible. One man, by pressing a button, will do the Tyork of five men. The new system will Include both automatic and elec trical switching and the switches will be operated from a tower centrally lo cated, in order to tak© care of drafts traveling east and west. Wires running through underground concrete conduits will convey the wires from the switches to the tower. Three or more men In the tower will be con nected by telephone with the yardmas ters and receive orders. Notice will be given as to the number of track the ilrst draft from a train in to be shifted. The first draft will carry the number of the track to which the second draft of cars is to bo assigned. Kach suc ceeding draft will not by number where the following draft will bo shifted. The men In the tower will be given manifests and sheets showing the cars and numbers, and will also watch close ly the numbers on each draft. Simply by pressing a button the cars will be sent over a ladder of tracks to their destination, doing away with the neces sity for two or more switchmen to look after the switches. During bad weather a code of signals will be followed, which will enable the men In the tower to get the correct numbers. The system is similar to that now used in Enola yards. Conductor Injured.

' J MFEPffiT FOR R.A JIN* [Continued from First Pngel not to families of railroad employes. Taking up the objection to issuance of passes by a man who said employ ers of merchants and others did not enjoy privileges like railroad men the speaker said that it would be redicul oua to require that a grocer's clerk who secured Hour at a discount should keep that flour for his exclusive use and not allow his wife to eat of the bread baked thereof. It would be unfair also to assume that the law ever contemplated pre vented a railroad from transporting a tire company from a city to a burn ing village. Issuance of passeß to fami lies of employes was a matter of policy of companies who desired to enable employes to be saved expense in traveling over the lines on which they work. Part of Compensation In closing, the speaker poyited out how the restriction of passes to inter- State travel could be evaded by a trip a few miles over a State line and argued that the Issuance of passes had been long considered as a part of com pensation. Replying to a question by Chairman Ewlng the speaker said It was assum ed that tho commission had jurisdic tion In the case. John R. Geyer Harrisburg taking up the testimony of Samuel H. Smith, of this city, chairman of the general board of adjustment of the _Order of Railway Conductors and a "Pennsyl vania freight conductor, said It was apparent that passes to conductors and their wives was recognized as part of compensation. He referred to the Biblical admonition that the ox that treads out the corn should have a mouthful. Mr. Geyer argued that the commission had full jurisdiction, fie represented the local branch of the Order of Railway Conductors. Beidleman's Views Senator E, E. Beidleman Harris burg representing the trainmen said that the Baltimore and Ohio provided for membership in relief association as a condition of employe and said that for years the issuance of passes to families of railroad employes had been recognized as a matter of course, would not be able to retain men In isolated places unless they gave school passes so that their children could enjoy educational advantages In larger communities. In addition to the tr.alnmen Sena tor Beidleman represented the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Order of Railway Telegraphers. R. W. Barrett of New York repre senting the Lehigh Valley Railroad, said that issuance of posses to em ployes and dependents had been an established policy of his company for years and that in his opinion there is nothing in the act to prevent the company issuing passes. When asked by Chairman Ewing if his company wanted the commission to make an order allowing passes, Mr. Barrett said that the companies had been leaning backwards so long from force of liablt that it asked the com mission to bear with it a little longer. Darlington on Clerical Rates Bishop J. H. Darlington of the Episcopal Church spoke in favor of reduced rates for clergymen saying that ministers in a great part of their work were engaged in civic duty and that their presence in different charges on the same day made possible by low rates was a great advantage to com munities. He said the country minis ters would be put to a great hardship if reduced rates were withdrawn be cause they seldom if ever traveled inter-State. The bishop argued that Conductor for 106.

In the remarks the bishop also said paying full fare wpuld fall heavily on ministers many of whom are paid less than brakemen, and might mean closing of some 8,000 missions served, by ministers who traveled from place to place. The bishop represented the Harris burg Ministerial Association and also read a letter from the Harrisburg Clericus, composed of Episcopal clergymen. Other Pleas J. B. Carruthers, of the State Young Men's Christian Association; C. K. Robinson, assistant city solicitor of Pittsburgh, and Newton Jackson, a veteran employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Columbia, made pleas for a ruling, Mr. Robinson pointing out that ctiles had frequent applications for charity and railroad companies had furnished transportation on request. Mr. Jackson, who is rotired after forty-six years of service, spoke for the veteran employes' associations. John 11. Fow, Philadelphia, asked for free transportation for policemen and firemen when in uniform, which has been granted by companies since 1854. Philadelphia, he said, is the largest police jurisdiction in the world, being 129 square miles. The 3,896 policemen and 1,074 flremen live all over the city, generally miles away from their stations. Mr. Fow declared the commission had authority to make a ruling in the case under a clause in the act which enables it to establish standards of facilities and service in interest of patrons, employes and the public. Mr. Fow asserted that the railroads were willing to make orders to carry policemen or firemen because there was a reciprocal advantage in having the uniformed men on the trains or cars. Moreover, said he t everyone in Philadelphia was favorable to con tinuation of free transportation to firemen and pollcomen. B. L. Spahr, representing the Phila delphia Rapid Transit Company, ar gued that the Legislature classified taxation and that the question of free transportation could be dealt with In the same way. Auston for Telegraphers J. It. T. Auston, national president of the Order of Railroad Telegra phers, Dispatchers, Agents and Sig nalmen, declared that tho pass for employe and liis family was earned by meritorious service, as shown by wag© agreements. Mr. Auston niaile the point that in the broad exercise of power the commission could make an order permitting passes to families of employes in interest of general hap piness. • Charles E. Schuyler, of the Phila delphia and Reading telegraphers, called attention to the fact that rail roads give passes to widows of em ployes so that they can work away from home. K. B. Bingham, Duquesne Incltned Plane Company, Pittsburgh, asked for a ruling. C. K. Robinson, assistant city so licitor of Pittsburgh, said that he had been sent here to find out if the city had to make an appropriation in its annual budget to pay car fare for po licemen, firemen and others In public service who have been granted free transportation when on business. A W. Robertson, of the Pittsburgh Rail ways Company, said the company would grant such transportation until an adverse order was made.

To-day Warden W. S. Dick continued the searching Investigation to discover the means by which the weapons came within the walls. Word came from Oklahoma City that a special commission might be appointed to make investigation of the affair. Armed with their pistols, Reed, Lane and Koontz. when labor ended for the day in the tailor shop where they were employed, made their way through a basement store room and up a dark stairway to the entry room of the main building. There stood John Martin, the turnkey, but before he realized what the presence of the men meant a shot passed through his cheek knocking him down. Quickly the men took the keys. With a shout to the other prisoners to Join them, the three rushed for ward. Oates, the assistant warden, was in their path. Reed shot him through the heart. Near the door of the warden's office sat Judge Thomas, who was waiting to see Warden Dick on business. "Boys, I'm an innocent bystander, just here on private business," the Judge called, as he sprang to his feet and put up his hands. In reply came a shot from the con victs and he fell dead. Another shot wounded Wood, a guard. Miss Foster, the telephone op erator, then came. In for attention from the three. With an oath they overturned the switchboard hoping to disconnect the wires. By this time the greatest excitement was sweeping throurn the prison. Convicts were shouting cheering words to the escaping men and guards were shooting as they ran about to quell the outbreak. Half turning as the rifles of the guards cracked from various quarters the three convicts hesitated • but only for an instant. Lured by the hope of freedom the three wont forward to ward the gate dragging Miss Foster with them. As they neared the door way they lifted the telephone operator and carrying her ss a shield the three huddled behind her as they rushed from the building. Godfrey of the guards attempted to halt them. Promptly he was shot to death. A bullet went wild, parsed through the office door of Drover, the Bertllllon expert, and killed that offi cial. Out of the building, Reed, Koontz, and Lane made their way on a trot to the gate. None of the guards dared shoot be cause of the human shield, the tele phone girl, carried by the desperate men. A shot finally was fired and it hit Miss Foster in the leg. Brop Their Burden Reaching the gate the three men dropped their burden after unlocking the last barrier to freedom and sprang into a buggy. Lashing the horse the convicts sped down the road. The dash for liberty was short, how ever. Guards on horses quickly came within shooting distance and a run ning fight began. The convicts made a desperate fight as the buggy lurch ed along, but It was soon over. Bul let after bullet from the guns of the guards found its mark and when the hcrse at last fell from a shot and the guards came up the three convicts lay dead In the baggy. Within thw prison, guards worked heroically driving trie convicts to their cells and holding at bay those who threatened (o overpower them. Order was soon restored and .none of the other prisoners went beyond the .walls. -mn Wiootercwn MERCHANTS FAVOR SUNDAY BLUE LAWS Chief of Police Severely Criti cised ; Want Higher Vendor License At a meeting of the Merchants' As-i sociatlon in the G. A. R. hall last evening Chief Hiram P. Longnaker's police department was severely criti cised and plans for securing the pus sage of an ordinance calling for a higher license for street venders were formulated. The association went on record as favoring the enforcement of the Sunday "blue laws" and the gen eral closing of ail places of business on Sunday. > Burgess Fred Wigfield was present at last evening's meeting and reiterat ed to the merchants his statement, made when he took charge of the po lice department, that the police either had to "make good or get out," and promised tho merchants that he would rigidly enforce every law. The question of securing from coun cils an ordinance compelling street venders to pay a higher license took up the greater part of the evening. It was during this discussion that the police department came in n>r a lot of criticism. Several members of the association charged that the police didn't enforce the present ordinance governing street peddling and assert-1 ed that several wagons were known to be making rounds of the town under one license. Secretary W. H. Whttebread in speaking of this negligence of the po lice tliis morning said "The police can surely see these things are going on and should stop them." President B. F. McNear was au thorized to appoint a committee from the association to meet with councils to see whether or not that body can not bo induced to pass an ordinance raising the license fee for street ven ders to |lO. This same committee will also con fer with a committee from the recent ly organized Good Citizenship League to see what can be done to secure the enforcement of the Sunday "blue laws." It was the unanimous senti ment of the members present at last evening's meeting of the Merchants' Association that every place of busi ness should close on Sunday.
