Anxious property owners and real
dents of the flood district along the
Susquehanna river in this city and its
vicinity have little cause for worry on
account of the rapid melting of the
snow, according to a statement issued
to-day by E. R. Demain, of the
Weather Bureau.
Hundreds of people living along the
river entertained fears to-day that
(he stream would be thrown into a
dangerous flood stage because of the
snow and the steady rain of last night
and to-day.
Harrlsburg Is lying In the very cen
ter of the section of the State affected
by the heavy storm of a week ago. A
foot of snow covers the Susquehanna
water shed, but the river will not rise
until to-night to any noticeable ex
tent. By that time, the rise may be
rapid, but because of the low stage of
the river no alarm need be felt. It Is
said. Melting snows from the upper
branches will begin to effect the river
here to-morrow but the creeks above
the city will begin to pour their bur
den down to-day.

BEGINNERS IN IE
SCHOOL ROOM HAVE
HE DIE SESSIONS
Crowded Conditions Compel Divid
ing of Youngsters Into After
noon and Morning Classes
Overcrowded conditions in Allison'
I Hill have made necessary half-day]
sessions for beginners in one room of I
the Webster building, and tilled every)
other room on the Hill to capacity. .
Two hundred and twenty-three be
ginners were admitted to schools all
over the city during the first two!
weeks of February. This number is'
larger by half a hundred than last. |
year's record, when 168 were admitted.
With these beginners, the total enroll
ment in the city schools is close to
10,500, the highest in the history of
the city schools.
To accommodate the rush on the
Hill and relieve several crowded rooms
twenty of the beginners were sent to
Miss Morgan's room of first grade
students in the Webster building.
There were forty-eight pupils in this
room before February 1 and sixty
eight scholars were too many to
handle.
Dr. F. E. Downes decided to divide
the school into two sections, having
one section attend school in the morn
ing and the other In the afternoon.
This condition will last at least until j
June.
In other parts of the city, schools!
are also crowded. At the Forney j
building six new desks were crowded i
into one.room where there were forty- j
eight children before. At the Reily
building nine new desks were added iii '
a room which had not been crowded I
before.
Speaking of the attendance this year j
Dr. F. E. Downes, cltv superintendent!
said that this is the first year that
there lias been an enrollment every
month of more than 10.000 pupils, lii I
January the enrollment was 10,230.
Last year at the sam time the en
rollment was 10.063. The addition of
the 223 beginners will 1 ring the eu
rollment for February up almost to
.10,500.
Alaska Railroad Bill
Passed By House By
Vote of 230 to 87
i
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C\, Feb. 19. l3y a'
vote of 230 to 87 the House of Kepre- I
sen tat Ives last night passed the Alas- I
kail railroad bill. It provides for the i
construction by the United States Gov- I
eminent of a railroad in Alaska at a!
cost of $35,000,000. The road Is to be '
owned nnd operated by the Government
and will tap the Bering and .Matanuska
coal fields.
The action taken assures the carry
ing out of the Wilson administration
project for such a Government rail
way, because the Senate has already
passed a similar bill. While the House
added important amendments to the
Senate measure, these are not such as
to prevent adjustment of these differ
ences in conference.

Commissioner Harlan said:
"Recognizing the public importance
of an early disposition of the prob
lems before use here, the carriers,
shippers and the commission are using
every effort to bring the inquiry to
an early conclusion, and there Is rea
son to think the record on the main
issues in the case may be closed and
the arguments had in time to enable
the commission to dispose of those
questions before the summer recess."
Commissioner Harlan explained that
the commission had before it two
broad inquiries in respect of the pro
posed advance:
"Are the present, revenues of the
; carriers adequate?"
i "If not, how may they be supple
j mented'.'"
Hearing: anil Argument
At the hearings held so far, testi
i mony was taken regarding free serv
ices and special allowances to large

j February 27 and 28 to consider fur
-1 ther charges for "spotting" cars on

TRACY MAY HAVE NO
SUCCESSOR ONBOARD;
MORE FOR FORHER
Granjmar and High School Pupils
to Protest Against His
Removal
I While the question of the election of
a successor to David E. Tracy as presi
dent and member of the Board of
Public Works was discussed at the
meeting of the board this afternoon,
the chances are that no choice may bo
made. The board as now constituted,
with two members, may continue the
city's public Improvement work.
The resignation of Mr. Tracy as
president and member of the board
had been expected for some time by
J. William Bowman and Ed. C.
Thompson, fellow- members, as well as
W. H. Lynch, Commissioner of Streets
of Public Improvements, the head of
the department. They all wanted Mr.
Tracy to remain until the improve
ment work now under way—the rivet
dam, the wall and the Paxton creek
job—were completed. Press of busi
ness made this impossible, however.
In view of the fact that the board
under the new form of government
serves only in an advisory capacity to
Mr. Lynch, one of the members said
to-day. that he didn't know whether
a third man would be chosen.
! To-morrow night the Harrisburg
track athletic committee will meet
•to act on the question of the dismissal
of V. Grant Forrer as park superin
tendent. Resolutions will be adopted,
it is expected, and it iH likely that
S plans will be laid for arranging' a
demonstration of tlie high and gram
j mar school pupils. Mr. Forrer him
self declared that while he appre
ciated the evident efforts of the ehil
jdren of the playgrounds to appeal to
j Council in his behalf, he advised
against this because of the weather.
! "This isn't the kind of weather for
i little folks to be out," he declared,
J "and while 1 sincerely appreciate the
j motive behind this contemplated ac
i tion, I really don't think the children
I ought to do it."
