There is no general ordinance on the pole question that will enforce removal, but all the public service corporations are alive to the situation and are preparing for many volun tary removals. Every overhead wire concern now doing business has provided itself with an underground system but two, the Harrisburg Railways Company and the Western Union Telegraph Com pany. While it cannot be expected that the former can place its trolley wires underground, it is entirely feasi ble, it Is understood, to carry the feed wires in that manner, and thus relieve the trolley poles of the cum bersome and unsightly feed wires. W. I". Poles Should Coino Down The Western Union Telegraph Com pany s poles are mostly maintained tor trunk lines passing through the city, and these should be carried un der ground, in the opinion of com petent wire experts. The sudden transition of Market street, which is so pleasing to the eye and asthetic taste of the citizen, should not make the community over zealous, perhaps, in the pole-removal campaign. Such a course might re sult in enforcing the immediate clean ing up of all the streets and avenues. Underground construction being an expensive proposition, there are dif ferent forms of cheap distribution, such us messenger calls, for instance, trom which no rental revenues are derived by the operating companies, which would have to be dispensed with, to the great inconvenience of the business people, If the elimination of all overhead construction were en forced. It would result, however, in effect ually clearing up those poles that have become an eyesore, such as the group surrounding the new Public Library, as well as many other un sightly conditions. It is believed the movement should be carried forward slowly, but surely, until the highways are cleared, but in a manner that will neither be a hardship to the oper ating companies nor an Inconvenience to the business community. Corporations Should Aid Modern business practices of the public service corporations should aid in lessening the number of poles in other sections of the city. Twenty years ago a combination pole would scarcely have been considered by any two corporations; to-day it is com j mon practice for several companies to occupy the same pole under stand ard agreement Formerly it was no uncommon sight to see two or more poles on the same corner of a street. Under present practices this is unnec essary. This give and take spirit has doubtless been brought about by pub lic sentiment, as well as a better un derstanding of the handling and pro tection of apparatus. Formerly it was considered bad and dangerous prac tice to run a telephone wire a,n an electric light pole; to-day it is Com mon practice. "When the poles owned by the cor porations In the merger agreement shall have been removed In the next month It will then be possible. It is be- I lieved, for City Council to place the ban on those still standing. Students Scout Idea of Suicide Society Philadelphia, Jan. 26.^—Speaking with authority from the University faculty, Lester Van Name, editor-in chief of the Pennyslvanian, the stu dent dally newspaper of the Univer sity, last night made a statement deny ing that the recent deaths suicide of students had any connection with one another. He insists that the good name of the student body should he shielded from the odium of reports which Vpeak of "suicide clubs" and, of evil Influences in college fraternities. FIRE nmion is i BRINGING RESULTS' Pennsy Fire Fighters Have Held Losses Down to Small Figures The "Safety First" campaign on the Pennsy system has brought good re sults in cutting down the Are losses.) While the various companies along the main line are drilled almost dally in Are lighting, closer attention Is given to fire prevention, and this has been responsible for low fire losses. Harrisburg has been especially re ferred to as one city where Are pre vention methods have brought results. The fire losses in Hnrrlsburg during the last year have been trifling when compared with those in other cities. The Pennsy's loss in this territory, which includes the local yards, round houses and shops, in round figures is estimated at between $750 and sl,ooo' for the yc&r. Reports just compiled show that) last year 823 flres occurred on the! property of tho Pennsylvania Railroad system; this was the smallest number of tires In a year since 1904. The flre loss for the year was $271,288, the smallest, with the exception of one year, in the past thirty-five years. As showing the steady improve ment in efficiency, in 1908 the com pany's employes extinguished 274 fires out of a total of 1,397 which occurred on railroad property. In 1909, out of 929 lires, the railroad's own men put out 321. In 1910 they extinguished 379 and in 1913, 413 fires—more than half of the total number of fires. This steady increase in the efficiency i of the tire fighting brigade was fur ther developed last year by special training of employes, as well as by the efforts of the Insurance depart ment of the railroad to bring to the attention'of all employes the number of fires occurring from preventable causes, and pointing out how to insure their prevention. "DAVE" HEPFORD BURIED Funeral services of David Hepford, the well-known engineer on the Penn sylvania Railroad, the charter mem ber and the first superintendent of the Sunday school class of the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal Church, who died Wednesday at his home, 411 Maclmy street, were held this after noon at 3 o'clock from his late resi dence. The Rev. B. H. Hart, pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist Church, officiated. Burial was made in the East Harrisburg Cemetery.

Following an attack of ill ness, Engineer Hepford was trans ferred to duties at the roundhouse to take engines to and from various points. Hepford was promlnept in church and Y. M. C. A. work. An rntrrtalsmrnt of a unique and in teresting character is promised Friday night at the Pennsylvania Railroad Young Men's Christian Association, when the entire program will be fur nished by employes of engine house No. 1, under the direction of Isaiah Reese.

HARRISBFRG TELEGRAPIf PENNSY COP UIDER BWL TO KEtP PEACE Case Grew Oat of Charges of Es pionage Against R. R. Officers Jeremiah Yost, a Penney railroad policeman, was held under SIOO bond to keep the peace following a hearing before Judge Henry in January ses sions of surety of the peace court. M. B. Henderson, organizer of the Brotherhood of Federated Railway Kmployes, was tne prosecutor and the hearing grew out of a row which Henderson and Yost had outside the new organization rooms, December 7. The incident, it is said, is an echo of similar discussions relative to the al leged espionage which the now organi zation's members contended was kept upon them by railroad company of ficers. Today's hearing took up much of the morning and the near wit and repartee which counsel for the defense and witnesses for the Commonwealth exchanged gave an oc casional high light to the trial. Henderson alleged that Yost had called him names and threatened him with his black-jack and a revolver. William Hoke, secretary of th 6 new organization, told practically the same story. Lyman D. Gilbert and C. H. Bergner defended Yost. It was the interchange between Hoke and Gil bert that had the court room amused. Hoke had answered several times a question by Mr. Bergner, and he called I counsel's attention to the fact: "Now I've answered that three times, Mr. Bergner," he said, smilingly. "Well, well that's all right," inter rupted Mr. Gilbert, "answer it again. You're just an ordinary man." "And so are you," came back Mr. Hoke. Judge Henry observed that Hoke! had answered the question rather' positively. A little later when Yost was on the | stand and denied that he had wea- I pons, Henderson, who sat with his j counsel, W. L. Loeser, deprecatingly shook his head at Tost's denials. Mr. Gilbert caught him at it. "Now I object to that," suddenly called out counsel for the defense, gazing across at Henderson. "To what?" inquired Frank B. Wickersham, assistant district attor ney. "To his shaking his head!" returned Mr. Gilbert. "Hold your head still," advised Mr. Loeser. Railroad Manager Who Settled With His Men IP wt C. S. SIMS Clifford S. Sims, vice-president and general manager of the Delaware and Hudson, a railroad which is little heard of outside the east, but is of considerable importance, has been forced to settle with liis 5.000 em ployes who went on strike the other day. The company capitulated and re stored the men £o work, agreeing also to every condition the union men made. It was one of the most quickly settled large strikes in the history of railroad ing. After a year of negotiation 5,000 men, including engineers, firemen, conduc tors, trainmen. and telegraphers, walked out when the company finally refused to restore to duty an engineer and fireman charged with disobedience of orders. The men said they had re fused to break a rule of the company at the direction of a minor official. The road was tied up at once and it moved trains. The officials appealed to the National Board of Arbitrators, but the next day Mr. Sims met a committee of the unionists and signed an agreement. ; Immediately service on the road was restored fully. A strike, which might have been disastrous to employers and ( employed, lasted less than forty-eight i hours. RAILROAD NOTES During the week ending January 22, a total of 848 trains and 27,015 cars were handled In the preference yards at Marysville. Byron W. King will entertain at the ■ Pennsylvania Young Men's Christian Association, at Knola, to-night. Many | Harrisburg railroaders will attend. I A total of 797 Reading veterans at- I tended the annual meeting of the Em : ployes' Veteran Association, Saturday j During the month of December there [ were nine notable railroad accidents In the United States, with a total of eight persons killed and fourteen injured. Jacob Snyder, a preference freight , conductor on the Middle Division of the Pennsy, who makes his home at the Lynch Hotel when In Harrisburg. had a narrow escape from being killed on Saturday when he fell from a top of a car. CHARI.ES H. MOYEI: SAYS [ HE WILL RETCRX FOR TRIAL By Associated Press Indianapolis, Jan. 26.—Charles 11.

HUIVTERS , LICENSE YIELDS BIG MONEY 'Almost 300,000 Have Been Issued Netting the State Oyer $260,- 000 in Cash Complete returns £ received from all but half a dozen of the smaller coun- Kuh ties show that dur hunting season sttgfflim IllHl were issued under PKivneJ cense act of 19IS. VHHKMlvii* It is believed that ■ | when all returns are in hand it will ; show close to 320,000 licenses issued. Some of the people who could not be supplied with licenses hunted with re ; j ceipts from county treasurers and of ficial returns on them are not yet . i available. These licenses have netted i the State $261,000, the treasurers be ing entitled to 10 per cent, conunis ' sion. i Allegheny leads the counties with 13,072 licenses, Luzerne being next with 10,990; Westmoreland has re ; turned just 9,999; Lancaster ranks fourth with 9,747; Schuylkill 9,188; Philadelphia 9,107, while Berks, with 8,337; York 7,000; Lackawanna 6,954 and Montgomery 6,497 follow In the ' order named.

Kick on Delay. —Attorneys for tho State Department of Fisheries have been told by Commissioner N. R. Bul . ler to use all proper means to expe dite the trial of suits in Clinton and other counties against persons arrested for pollution of the west branch of the Susquehanna and its tributaries. The postponement of the trial of the . West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co. at Lock Haven has annoyed the fishery officials as it is a test case and other actions must await the result. Over I a dozen new suits are to be started , soon on evidence collected that wastes from plants were killing fish up the I Susquehanna. Cold Storage.—The first battle In the test of the new cold storage law is scheduled to be fought in the Dau phin county court on Wednesday af ter three postponements. The action is a bill in equity to restrain the Sec retary of Agriculture and the Dairy and Food Commissioner from enforc ing the cold storage regulation act on the ground that it is in violation of the property protecton clause of the Constitution. This is held to espe cially apply in the case of products declared to be "outlawed." Under the act products stored beyond the legal limit may not be sold. This will be the test point. At the same time there will be argued proceedings in criminal case brought in this city to test the withdrawal clause, which prohibits the placing back in storage of prod ucts once removed. The Attorney General's Department will represent the Dairy and Food Commissioner in the proceedings and it is likely that the decisions will be taken to the Su preme Court.
