BIG IM PLANS
IIP TO STOCKHOLDERS
Pennsylvania Railroad Meeting
Today Is of Special
Importance
Philadelphia, March 10. Probable
action in providing cash for extensive
improvements throughout the entire
Pennsylvania Railroad system, made
to-day's annual meeting of the stock
holders of the company of great import
ance. . .. .
The big question that will be laid be
fore the stockholders for their approval
will be the authorization of a blanket
mortgage, covering all the company's
property, and intended to provide a
basis for all new financing and refund
ing operations indefinitely in the future.
The only limit to the amount of bonds
that may be issued tinder the proposed
mortgage is that they must not exceed
the amount of the capital stock.
A good deal of interest centers in the
choice of a chairman for the meeting.
The late General Louis Wagner per
formed this duty for a number of years.
It is customary to propose a stock
holder not identified with the manage
ment.
The stockholders will be asked to
ratify an agreement for the acquisition
of the property and franchises of the
Hollldaysburg, Bedford and Cumber
land Railroad Company.
Another I'riuiny Report. The an
nual report of the Philadelphia, Balti
more and Washington Railroad, one of
the chief subsidiaries of the Pennsyl
vania system, issued to-day, shows in
marked degree the effect of the ad
verse influences operating on railroad
earnings in 1913. The gross receipts
were $21,164,340, an increase of $884,-
298, or over 4 per cent., but the ab
normal growth of $1,525,9*14 in operat
ing' expenses more than canceled all the
gain.
Idle Car* Decrease. A very heavy
decrease in the number of idle freight
cars in the United States and Canada

the American Railways Association, is

[.Continued from First l'agc.J
morning, he would And the body. He,
went there in company with Captain
Sanders, of the Texas Rangers, and
tho body was delivered by friends of
Vergara. Mr. Garrett added that ho
was sending a full report by mall. Mr.
Bryan said no new representations 1
had been made to the Huerta govern
ment ,
Investigation Started
at Laredo by Colquitt
Austin, Texas, March 10.—No fur-!
ther information on the Identity or
the party of Texas who recovered
Clemente Vergara's body from its
Mexican grave was expected to-day
pending conclusion of the official in
vestigations now in progress by both
Federal and State authorities. Gov
ernor O. B. Colquitt is out of the city
011 a two-day trip to Fort Worth.
Henry Hutchings, State Adjutant
| General, has begun at Laredo an inves
tigation ordered by Governor Colquitt,
! who did not make public what specific
instructions, if any, he gave Hutchings.
! It is known that the stories of torture
'based on the charred condition of ore
of Vergara's hands will receive close
attention in this investigation.
There still was no intimation so far
as known here from Captain J. J. San
ders, of the Texas Rangers, as to the
identity of the person or persons who
he has claimed informed him he would
find the body on the American shore
of the Rio Grande river at 8.30 o'clock
Sunday. Sanders' official reports are
also blank as to the identity of those
who made the night trip into Mexico.
ASTOR TO WED IN APRIL
New York, March 10.—It Is ex
pected that a date will be set for the
wedding of Vincent Astor and Miss
Helen Dinsmore Hunf Ington soon after
the arrival of Mrs. John Astor from
! London early next week. The wed
ding, it was said to-day, probably will
be solemnized early in April at Rhine
beck.
Have You Had the Grip?
There are certain disorders, such as
the grip, that especially debilitate and
make the body an easy prey for more
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
ent condition of their health and most
of them will answer: "Since I had
the grip I have never been well." They
still have profuse perspiration, the
persistent weakness of the limbs, the
disordered digestion, shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart
caused by the thin-blooded condition
•11 which the grip almost always leuves
its victim after the fever and Influenza
have subsided. They are furthermore,
at the mercy of relapses and of com
plications, often very serious. In an
attack of the grip there is a rapid
thinning of the blood and not until
the blood is built up again is com
plete health restored.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills quickly
make the blood rich and red, drive out
the lingering germs from the system
and transform despondent grip victims
into cheerful, healthy men and women.
Try the pills for any form of dobll-
Ity caused by thin blood.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink
j Pills. Get a box to-day and begin at
| once to regain your health. Write for

WIT STUD UGHT
SYSTEM IT STEELTI
Special Committee Will Take Up
Question Within Short
Time
The establishing of a new system
of electric street lighting, possibly
the standard system; plans for a more
efficient system of garbage collection;
improvement of the old Pennsylvania
canal nuisance; criticism of the Har
risburg Railways Company for the
manner in which it removes snow
from its tracks in the borough; plans
for removing snow from the borough
streets, and a demand on the Penn
sylvania Railroad for the placing of
safety gates at the Francis street cross
ing—these were some of the things
acted upon In a lively meeting of the
Steelton borough council last evening.
President Reynders was not present
when council convened and Council
man Stees took the chair. A petition
1 was presented requesting council to
make a small alloy running' from
School alley to Fourth street, between
Locust and AValnut, a borough high
way. The alley was named Glen alley
and the ordinance making It a thor
oughfare passed second reading.
Chairman E. C. Henderson reported
that the highway committee is mak
ing progress with the big $55,000
improvement plans and that several
men were being considered for the
place of supervising engineer. The
highway committee will notify the
water board to go ahead in the placing
of surface drain pipes in the streets
to be paved this summer.
After President Reynders arrived
and took the chair Chairman Nelly, of
the police committee, reported that
I the new police call-light system had
j been installed at a cost of only $272
| and was working without a hitch.
There is now someone on duty at all
I times at tin police headquarters.
Nelly requested that a direct line be
run from the Steel company telephone
exchange to facilitate the hourly re
ports from the patrolmen on their
beats. This will be taken up with the
steel company.
Scrap Over Snow Removal
A lengthy and scrappy discussion of
the way the trolley company removes
snow was started by Councilman Wag
genbaugh, of the Third ward. The
trolley company was severely criti
cized for failing to protect its snow
sweepers when they aro sent through
the borough. Snow, it was reported,
was thrown back onto pavements and
| over pedestrians. The borough so-
I licltor will attempt to have the trolley
I company bear a pro rata share of the
cost of removing this snow.
A motion to have the highway com
mittee clean the parts of the streets
not occupied by trolley tracks aired a
scrap in the highway committee. Mr.
Waggenbaugh, the new member from
the Third ward, told how he ordered
Highway Comissioner Meshey to stop
removing the snow from the streets
after Chairman Henderson had or
dered the snow to be removed. Coun
cilman Henderson was almost unani
mously sustained and the snow will
bo removed. An appropriation of SIOO
was made for this purpose.
The contract system of garbage col
lection was discussed. After a place
for disposing of the garbage is secured
bids for the work will be asked. Coun
cilman Stees suggested a system of
locks and overflows to overcome the
old Pennsylvania canal nuisance and
to prevent floods. The highway com
mittee will investigate the plan and
If it is practicable it will be adopted.
Want Standard Lights
On the suggestion of President
Reynders, the finance and town prop
! erty committees will meet with George
B. Tripp, vice-president and general
manager of the Harrlsburg Light and
Power Company, with a view of secur
ing a cheaper and more modern sys
tem of street lights. The present con
tract for street lighting will expire in
April. It may be renewed on the
same terms for another period of five
years. New lights have been intro
duced, however, and they will be in-

be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of the ordinary cough
more quickly, usually conquering it in
side ot 24 hours. Excellent, too: fori
spasmodic croup, whooping cough, bron
chia! asthma and bronchitis.
Mix one pint of granulated susrar with
% pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2% ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This ia just laxative enough to help
relieve a cough. Also stimulates the
appetite, which is usually upset by a
cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
tho inflamed membranes is well known.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of Norwfcy white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination.
This Pinex and Sugar Syrup remedy
has often been imitated, but the old suc
cessful mixture has never been equaled.
It is now used in more homes than any
other cough remedy.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex, or will get it for you. If not,
