STEADY EMPLOYMENT
IS STEEL CO:S POLICY
(Continued From First Page]
■ supplies the company is running at a
\ sixty per cent, capacity.
The publication of the Philadelphia
News Bureau is authority for the fol
lowing statement in regard to the
changed policy of the company:
"Owing to the character of in
business, the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany has been more affected by the
i developments of last year or so than
| some other companies engaged in the
' steel industry. Unlike the Cambria
Steel Company, which has a very di
| versified commercial business, the
i Pennsylvania Steel Company is de
pendent very largely upon the rail
; roads as buyers of its products. When
the railroads are out of the market
|to a great extent, as has been the
case since action on the appllcatlbn
of the Eastern roads for a five per
cent, rate increase has been in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the outlet for the com
pany's products is much curtailed
with some detrimental effect upon its
j earnings.
| "The management of the companv
I operates upon a careful and conserva'-
tive policy and endeavors, as far as
may be possible, to minimize the ir
f regularity of ordering Incidental to
| railroad purchases by distributing the
work to the greatest feasible extent
As a result of this plan, the com
pany is now able to keep its main
plant, at Steelton, Pa., operating at
about 60 per cent, capacity, despito
the scarcity of railroad business. The
plant of Its important subsidiary, the
Maryland Steel Company, at Spar
rows Point, Md., is operating Its ma
rine department pretty fully, but the
rail mill and other departments are
closed. The rail department closes
every year for about a month, but the
shutdown this year has been in the
neighborhood of four or five weeks
longer than usual.
"Money has already been spent free
ly by the management of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company for the pur
pose of developing its commercial
business, as distinguished from the
railroad business, and thus obtain
ing a more varied and less fluctuating
demand for its output."

Public Service Commission Hears
a Good Bit Abont the Inside
of Business
The Public Service Commission put
in another day on the telephone rate
hearing yesterday and ndjourned last
night until March 5, when a new phase
of the physical valuation will he taken
up.
Xathan Hayward. engineer of the
Bell Companies, was recalled yester
day to answer some questions Which
had been asked by some of the com
missioners at previous hearings. Mr.
Hayward also explained in more detail
some of the exhibits which had been
previously submitted. Mr. Hayward
then went into the subject of func
tional depreciation, which he denned
as differing from natural depreciation
in that the former is due to the forces
of society, public requirements and
like causes, while natural depreciation
is what is happening to the telephone
plant due to natural causes.
River Brethren May
Hold Convention at
Hershey Park in 1915
Hershey, Pa., Feb. 20. —Twenty-flve
thousand people will spend a week or
ten days in Hershey Park during the
summer of 19X5 if the present plans
to bring the annual conference of the
River Brethren of the country to this
place succeed.
The eastern committee of the de
nomination is trying to bring the con
ference to Hershey and the annual
conference to bo held in Seattle,
Wash., this summer will decide
whether or not to accept the recom
mendation of the committee.
It is believed here that the confer
ence will be secured for this place. If
the River Brethren come here, it will
mean that additional buildings will
have to bo erected and many thou
sands of dollars spent in preparing the
park for the reception of the large
crowd. The River Brethren met at
Paxtang about a dozen years ago. At
that time many thousands of people
were at the meetings, which lasted
two weeks.
No News of Schooner
Kineo, Missing For
Three Days, Received
Norfolk, Va„ Feb. 20.—Somewhere
out in the forty-eight mile gale that
was lashing the Atlantic to-day the
five-masted schooner Kineo of Bath,
Maine, now a three-day mystery, prob
ably was fighting for the lives of her
crew of eleven.
After a fruitless search the revenue
cutter Onondaga having exhausted her
bunkers in day and night cruising,
was putting back to Norfolk for sup
plies to continue the hunt. Mariners
were in doubt about the schooner's
fate.
Some pointed out that she may have
been sailing all the time since she
was sighted Wednesday by the steam
er City of Atlanta. Although the Ki
neo was then taking eleven inches of
water an hour, her pumps were then
keeping her afloat easily. Storm, how
might put the ship in a bad
way.
r sailing course would be out of
the steamer lanes, however, and some
where out of the travelc patches of
shipping the unlucky ship may be
making for port.

yf JSBL^afik,
Lo king back over the list of funs
ters who have appeared at the Or
pheum, it's good to come across the
name of Knute Erickson, who might
even be better known as Daffy Dan.
Mr. Erickson has appeared more
times at the Orpheum than any other
comedian and to say that he is easily
the most popular cut-up the manage
ment ever sent here, is only a bars
fact. Mr. Erickson first became pop
ular here in Lasky's "At the Waldorf,"
then later in Mr. Lasky's "On the
Housetop." Then he came to town
in a monologue and found as much
favor as ever. His particular type or
"nutty" comedy - and drollery has
branded him a favorite here.
The present season finds Mr. Erick
son in another pretentious one-act
musical comedy, employing a cast of
some twenty players, an act that is
said to be a blaze of light, beauty,
color and song. And oh, yes. It has
some comedy, by all means some
comedy, for this element of the pro
duction is left to K-nervy, K-nutty
Knute. Of all the odd character crea
tions presented in musical comedies,
that of Daffy Dan is unique.
"The Seminary Girl" is a bright,
tuneful and pleasing affair. The mu
sic is catchy and alluring, the situa
tions plausible, and the company is far
above the average in capability, and
all these things taken together, mean
a good production, and one that will
be enjoyed by the theatergoer who is
a lover of the musical shows. The
piece is well staged, and the costumes
and scenery are all that can be de
sired.
Daffy Dan and the Seminary Girls
are announced as next week's head
liner at the Orpheum.—Advertisement

TO PROTEST AUINST
EORRER'S DISMISSAL
[Continued Front First Page]
since the news became known that
Mr. Forrer would be dropped the chil
dren have been busy among them
selves. The report to-day was that
tho juvenile protests would be com
bined in one petition to be presented
next Tuesday provided the movement
could bo organized by that time.
The Rev. John H. Daugherty, presi
dent of the Civic Council of Federated
Churches of Harrisburg, announced
this afternoon that he will call the
members of the executive committee
together to-morrow to frame reso
lutions protesting against the dis
missal of Forrer. These resolutions
will be presented to the civic council
for adoption Monday evening. .
"We have been so busy in license
court," said ho, "that I've had prac
tically no chance to go into the matter
very fully thus far," said ho to-day,
"but I have heard a whole lot of talk
against the removal of Mr. Forrer."
The Rev. Father T. B. Johnson, as
sistant rector of St. Patrick's Cathe
dral and one of the leading athletic
directors of the city, has issued an
open letter on the subject of Forrer's
dismissal. Following is the letter:
"Like a death knoll to many cherish
ed ambitions fell the announcement of
Mr. Forrer's dismissal on the ears of
thousands of Harrisburg's youngsters.
"Urchins even unable to read the
newspapers learned the facts from
their grown-up brothers, and I fjel
safe in saying that the 'Mister Forrer'
echo of the playgrounds and parks of
the past few years has been the 'kid
dies' ' password since the news of his
dismissal was sent afloat. But this as
merely sentiment though child senti
ment is overgrown philosophy yet
stronger protest is needed.
"What a bity that politics has to en
ter this hallowed domain and rob out
children of the efficient service of one
who has advanced Harrisburg's park
and playground interests to the pres
ent standing.
"Those who are interested enough
in the subject will learn that Harris
burg in it's plaground movement is
far behind other cities; that the ef
forts of the past were but Infant
sprawllngs; and that what the city
needs, with an important secondary to
no other consideration is continued
work of this kind and more resources
for this purpose.
"We police the faults of a grown
generation; we abhor tiie conditions
that environment imposes upon so
many children In early training; we
endure a network of societies for the
amelioration of humankind, but we too
often neglect duties of prime import
ance In our great commonwealth.
"As Professor Stearns, of Philips
Academy, says: 'ln these days of in
creasing luxury, ease and softness, the
influence of wholesome athletics in
developing character and toughening
moral fibre must not be Ignored.'
"Mr. Forrer's work needs no com
ment; his efficiency in the past is best
attested by the results produced from
such small resources, as well as from
the universal and city-wide uplift to
thousands of Harrisburg's children;
shall we remove him and nip the work
In the bud? I feel certain of the ans
wer that the 'vox populi' would give—
but how far removed—is that 'vox
populi* in so many cases from the ad
ministration of our government.
"I close with the same argument as
the opening the children's voice
we need our parks; we need our park
superintendent; and we need Mr. Forrer
as that superintendent a in An whose
efficiency has made our playground and
park system the i/ian who is destined
to guarantee its success.

staff this morning is regarded as
flight from the storm of Indignation
which was presaged by the interest
manifested in the disappearance of
Benton.
As the forenoon wore on, talk of a
mass meeting grew, but took no defi
nite shape. Excited knots of American,
English, French and German refugees,
who have lost their property in Mex
ico, or compelled to abandon it tem
porarily. asserted that the time had
come for foreigners to voice their
sentiments and protest against the
treatment being dealt out to them.
In communicating to tho British
Ambassador the news of the death of
Benton, Secretary Bryan added that
he had ordered a thorough investiga
tion through American Conßul Ed
wards at Juarez and Consul Letcher
at Chihuahua-
Pending the result of the inquiry,
there is every disposition on the part
of the officials, not only of the State
Department, but also of the British
Embassy, to maintain a judicial atti
tude and await the production of evi
dence. .

For Children
Lax Links Are
Safe and Sure
Don't let the little ones suffer from
constipation, as serious Ills are apt to
result. Very often they will become
constipated by overeating. Castor oil,
rhubarb or other medicines relieve tem
porarily, and unless tlie greatest care is
exercised, will often do more harm
than good. Lax Links, those delightful
candy laxatives, exquisitely flavored
with the oil of spearmint, and which do
not contain any habit-forming or dan
gerous drug are what the children like
and need. They are not violent in their
action; neither will they gripe or cause
pains. A few taiblets will be all that la
necessary. Recommended by physicians
and sold by druggists everywhere. 100
and 25c. boxes. Write for free sample.
