street, the five being those of the
Western Union Telegraph Cpmpany—
all between Market and Walnut
streets.
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.

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. "Davy"
Hepford, as he was familiarly known
among railroadmen In Harrisburg,
was nearly the half-century mark of
service. 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. Jr., the foreman.
This entertainment is the third of a
series arranged by a committee on en
tertainment of which A. G. Murray is
chairman, and F. M. Weaver, secre
tary.

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.

CHARI.ES H. MOYEI: SAYS
[ HE WILL RETCRX FOR TRIAL
By Associated Press
Indianapolis, Jan. 26.—Charles 11.
Moyer last night confirmed the re
port from Houghton, Mich., that he
would return there for trial when
wanted but that he had no informa
\ tion that he was to be on hand to-day
when the January term of the Hough

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

i Allegheny leads the counties with
13,072 licenses, Luzerne being next

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.
Armory Work. —The State Armory
Board will take up the question of a
battalion armory for the companies
of the Sixth Infantry n Philadelphia
and the propositions for armories at
Lebanon, Allentown, Bedford, Indiana
and other places in the central part
of the State when it meets on Feb
ruary 19. The revised plans for the
Fourteenth Regiment armory in Pitts
burgh will also come up. The plans
for the new State arsenal building in
this city will be considered by the
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings in March.
Xew Reports.—Thousands of copies
of the new accident report blanks are
being issued to the industries of the
State by the bureau of statistics of the
Department of Labor and Industry.
Chef A. R. Houck has changed the
method of reporting and the question
of disability will figure in the re
ports.
Foley Busy Again.—Con F. Foley,
