Thirteenth and Ninth Wards who have

vice are not only going to get good
servico under the new contract re
cently made by the Department of
Public Safety. They will have two
collections a week where the other
sections of the city have but one col

Issue Instructions
The department has issued instruc
tions to the residents telling them how
they can assist the collector, and what
to do to have their premises kept
clean. The instructions are as follows:
"We find that many householders,
instead of providing uniform recep
tacles for ashes, are using small
boxes, baskets, etc., and we believe
that besides the time wasted in hand
ling these small reoeptacles much un
necessary dirt would be avoided if the
receptacles specified In the contract
were used. As our present contract
will be in force four more years from
January 1, 1914, to better the present
sen-ice we wish to appeal to every
householder of the city to fill their
part of the contract, and assist us in
this important matter.
"The contract provides that every
householder In the city shall at all
times be provided with portable tight
receptacles with proper handles on
the outside and with a tightly fitting
cover. Said receptacles shall "be of a
capacity of not more than one bushel.
All receptacles shall be kept or placed
in the rear of the house or in the base
ment passageway and never in the
street, alley, sidewalk or other public
place. No ashes or other refuse will
be removed unless same is placed in
uniform cans or buckets, provided
■with handles and properly covered.
Loose paper, excelsior or other light
material will not be removed from any
premises unless securely tied or pack
ed to prevent being thrown about In
the streets.
"Ashes or other refuse will not be
removed from basements, cellars or
upper apartments of any premises.
Plaster, spouting or other building
materials are not classed as refuse
in the contract and will not be re
moved by the collector.

RAILROADS
EXCEPTIONS FILED
BY M. T. ROBINSON
Says the Wilmington Journal Mis
quoted His Remarks at
Sunday Meeting
Exceptions have been filed by Milt.
T. Robinson. chairman of the legisla
tive committee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, to the way the
Evening Journal of Wilmington
quoted him as the principal speaker
at the big meeting held in Wilming
ton last Sunday, which was reprinted
in the Telegraph.
Chairman Koblnson says It was a
big meeting and gays he was one of
the principal speakers, but in refer
ring to the proposed organisation
of an Employes' Mutual Benefit Asso
ciation, Mr. Koblnson says some Wil
mington newspaperman has had him
mixed up with another speaker.
Chairman Robinson was also of the
opinion that some one had misquoted
his remarks with malicious Intent and
was surprised when shown the clip
ping from the Wilmington paper.
Reference made to the proposed 5
per cent, raise in freight rates by Mr.
Robinson was quoted correctely. Har
rlsburg's representative also expressed
himself at Wilmington as pleased
with the large gathering, but he de
nies having said anything since his
return to Harrisburg, nor has he been
interviewed on tho subject. In a letter
stating that he was misquoted, Mr.
Robinson says:
"I the first place, I am not familiar
with the plans or purposes of the
Mutual Beneficial Association, and In
the second place, I think my sense of
judgment will warrant tho opinion
expressed by me at the meeting men
tioned in the article, viz., that If the
proposed association is a good thing
for the employes in general, there
ough*. to be no opposition to its suc
cess, and if there was opposition, it
would avail nothing as the success
would be assured regardless of oppo
sition. On the other hand, if the pro
posed association proves to be against
tho interests of the employes, it will
be unnecessary to oppose it as it will
itself."

Creameries Blamed.—Creameries in
some of the Eastern Pennsylvania
counties are the latest Industrial es
tablishments to be reported as violat
ing the State laws prohibiting pollu
tion of streams and several arrests
have been ordered by Commisioners
of Fisheries N. R. Buller. Numerous
actions against tanneries, fertilizer
works and other manufacturing estab
lishments have been brought in the
i last six months and observations by
1 wardens and volunteers have brought
ito light instances wherein the cream
j erles have been so affecting the
; streams by wastes that fish have been
i killed. Inspections of streams In Lan
caster and Chester counties to deter
mine extent of this pollution is now In
progress.
Elk to Front.—Elk county's com
missioners have fllecf In Auditor Gen
eral Powell's department claim for
reimbursement to a total of $2,672
for scalp bounties they have paid.

pion weasel trapper of the county and

seven mink and nine bobcats. A. N.
Smith leads Klk county trappers as a
fox catcher, having caught ten in the
period embraced in the claim. He is
tied by John Ziegenfuss, of Carbon

of $332.50, just filed. Susquehanna
county asks S3O on the same .iccount.
Places to Fill.—The retirement of
Clarence B. Miller, assistant corpora
tion clerk of the State Department and
the appointment of Charles H. Hoi
linger, of this city to succeed him, and
the appointment of Howard C. Fry as

ment, leaves two places to be filled

WILL PUSH HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT WORK
Hope to Have Plans Ready by
March 1; to Advertise
For Bids
Rapid strikes have been mado with
in tho past few weeks in the prepara
l tlons to carry into effect Staelton's
(big $56,000 Improvement scheme.
The work of surveying the streets,
establishing the grades and new lines,
it was announced this morning by E.
C. Henderson, chairman of the high
way committee of councils, has been
carried to a point near completion. It
is the desire of the highway com
mittee to push this preliminary work
us rapidly as possible, said Mr. Hen
derson, so that ,lust as soon as the con
tract for paving the streets Is let, the
contractors can begin operations.
Under the direction of E. C. Van
Sykle, the engineers now in charge
of the work, the surveying of Second
and Front streets and the establish
ing of lines and grades on these two
streets has been completed. The en
gineers are now completing the work
of surveying the Intersecting streets.
Chairman Henderson hopes to have
the plans completed by tho first of
March so that Councils can advertise
for bids at that time. This will per
mit the letting of the contracts In
April and work can then be started
at once.
One of the motives that Is urging
the highway committee to push the
work as fast as possible, is the desire
to employ home labor in as much of
the construction work as possible. At
present there are many men idle here.
If the paving operations are started
early these men could be given em
ployment by the borough.
"It Is our desire," said Mr. Hender
son this morning, "to take care of as
many of these workmen as we can.
Wo are rushing the work with the
aim of giving some of the men here
who are out of work steady employ
ment."

POTTSVILLE'S CITY
CHER II COURT
Legality of the Election on Ques
tion Challenged by Ex-Judge
Shaw Today
Opponents of the third class city
government in Pottsville attacked the
legality of the election held In 1910
on the question of change of govern
ment in the argument heard by the
Dauphin County Court to-day on the
quo warranto proceedings brought to
test the validity of the city charter.
The suit Is to set aside the city gov
ernment and return to the borough
form, and reached court to-day after
the uso of the name of tlfe Common
wealth had been allowed in the pro
ceeding. No testimony was presented,
the argument being only on questions
of law. Judge H. O. Beclitel, presi
dent judge of the Schuylkill County
Courts, was present during the argu
ment.
Ex-Judge A. L. Shay, of Pottsville,
who made the chief argument against
the legality of the charter, contended
that the election held was under an
order of the Court of Quarter Sessions
of Schuylkill county, Issued in accord
ance with the act of April 15, 1907.
This act, he asserted, was repeale d by
the act of May 28, of the same year,
which vested the right to order such
an election in the council of the bor
ough.
The attorneys for the mayor, coun
cllmen, controller and aldermen, the
respondents in the case, contended
that the May act was not mandatory
and also assailed its constitutionality.
They referred to the fact that the test
was not brought before candidates
for city officers were nominated.

Colon, Jan. 29. —Frederick W. Van
derbilt to-day Bent by wireless telegra
phy from the steamship Almirante to
the Associated Press a full account of
the perilous rescue of the party on
board his yacht Warrior, which went
ashore on January 2G oft the coast of
Colombia. Amdng those with him on
board were his wife, the Duke and
Duchess of Manchester and Lord Ar
thur George Keith-Falconer. Mr. Van
derljilt telegraphed:
"The Warrior grounded on a sand
bank at 5 o'clock on the morning of
January 26, being carried in shore by
a. strong current. The United Fruit
Company's steamer Frutera, from
Santa Marta, arrived on the scene of
the accident at 5 o'clock in tho even
ing. The sea was then too rough for
small boats to be launched, but the
Frutera stood by us all night.
"At 3 o'clock on the morning of
the 27th the steamer Almirante ar
rived and both vessels sent lifeboats to
the yacht at daylight. A heavy and
very rough sea was breaking about
the Warrior and a boat from the Fru
tera capsized, but all hands were
saved.
"A boat from the Almirante re
turned to the yacht again at 10 o'clock

MOTHER RROESTEO
[Continued from First Page.]
claimed: "Isaac Heckman poisoned
my husband. I saw him do It. Why
is he not arrested, too?" This charge>
she repeated soveral times and she
was very bitter in her denunciation of
the man for love of whom, it IS al
leged, she gave her hubsand poison.
"I hope hell will burn him to a cin
der," she continued.
Officers went to tho Gerhold home
at Brandt's Church, ten miles from
here, soon after sunrise. They found
Mr. and Mrs. Gerhold, the woman's
three children by her former hus
band, and Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Rlck
er, her parents, waiting for them on
the' front porch. The women were
cool and chatted with their visitors.
Mrs. Ricker had never before ridden
in an automobile and the experience
made her quite ill.
Davies Makes Arrests
Thg arrests of Mrs. Gerhold and
her mother, Mrs. Ricker, were made
jthis morning by Corporal Curtis A.
Davies, of the Slate Police. Davies
was assigned to duty on the case on
December 22, 1-913, being at work a
little more than a month. It was said,
following the arrests, that although
confessions were not expected from
either of the two women, the evi
dence piled up against them is so
strong that convictions appear certain.
Isaac Heckman, accused of the mur
der by Mrs. Gerhold, went West short
ly after Keller's death. At the time he
was regarded In the neighborhood as
the woman's lover. Several months
ago he returned to Franklin county
and soon after that an investigation
was started. The body of Keller was
exhumed and the poison found. Let
ters alleged to have been written to
Heckman by Mrs*Gerhold are said to
play a prominent part in the prosecu
tion's chain of evidence.
After State Trooper Davies had ob
tained some conclusive facts a few
days ago. Constable C. C. Spidle, of
St. Thomas, Franklin county, made In
formation before Magistrate Orr, at
Chambersburg, charging the two
women with murder. The warrants
were procured early this morning and
the State officer and the constable
went to Brandt's Church in an auto
mobile. The women appeared to be
waiting for the officers and when the
warrants were read they stood mo
tionless and apparently unconcerned.
They asked for time In which to
change dress and within a few min
utes were ready for the trip to Cham
bersburg.
Mrs. Ricker became very sick on
the way in, her daughter explaining
that it was due to the smell of gaso
line, as it. was the first time she had
ever ridden in an automobile. Others
asserted, however, that the woman
had broken down under the strain.
When committed to Jail neither of
them had anything to say. Counsel,
it is said, advised them to remain
quiet. The women have engaged O. C.
Bowers as their attorney.
Although expected for several days,
the arrests to-day created a sensation
In Chambersburg.
Mrs. Ricker is about 6 2 years old.
Her daughter is about 30. During a
fainting spell, Mrs. Ricker is reported
to have stated that she would not live
long in Jail.
DIDN'T TAKE ENOUGH
John Veanett, an Italian living at 287
Mulberry street, tried to commit sui
cide, last night, by the poison route
when his sweetheart didn't "keep a
date." Shortly after midnight he made
a bod of his coat at Chestnut and River
streets, took a pinch of poison and lay
down to die. A policeman, called by a
woman who had been watching the man,
took him to the hospital, where the
stomach pump brought John back to
consciousness. He will recover.
SIMPLE REMEDY IS
FAVORITE HERE
The simple mixture of buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler
i-ka, the remedy which became fa
mous by curing appendicitis, is a great
favorite with Harrisburg people. Ad
ler-i-ka acts on BOTH the lower and
opper bowels and drains off such sur
prising amounts of foul mattor from
the body that A SINGLE DOSE re
lieves sour stomach, constipation and
gas on the stomach almost IMME
DIATELY. George A. Gorgas, drug
