Must Be Vaccinated
Just becuusc one cook employed by
the Pullman company on a buffet car

Good Words For Harrisburg. Re
ferring to the good results from stop
over privileges at Harrisburg, granted
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Philadelphia Ledger, under the head
ing, "Frlviliego Aids Harrisburg," says:
"The city of Harrisburg has profited
In no small degree from the stop-over
privileges accorded by the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company. In something
less than a year the records of the com
pany show 3,000 travelers from the Pa
cific coast and other far Western points
have deposited their tickets and stopped
over In that city for intervals ranging
from tive to ten days. In addition. It
is estimated that no other tickets stop
over privileges have been granted to
L' 2,000 visitors."

MRU BILLOT j
LAW UPHELD TODDY
111 SUPREME COURT
Opinion Written by Justice Elkin
on Bill Passed by Last
Legislature
Philadelphia, March 16.—The State
Supreme Court to-day held constitu
tional the nonpartisan ballot law
passed by the last Legislature.
The opinion was written by Justice
Elkin. Summarizing the decision
the Supreme Court said:
"We rest this decision on the ground
that the Legislature had the power to
prescribe the forms of the official bal- j
lot, to provide in what manner candi
dates shall be chosen, what names
shall be printed on the ballot as a re
sult of the primary, and nothing con
tained in the act of 1913 is sufficient j
to warrant this court in declaring that!
the Legislature abused its discretion |
by writing into the statute the limi-1
tation contained therein.
"If it were our duty to make the'
law no doubt many of its provisions
would be written differently, but we
cannot declare an act void because its
requirements may not meet with the
approval of our judgment, or because
we may doubt the wisdom of the act
as a matter of public policy.
Questions For Legislature
"Question of this character are for
the Legislature and not for the court.
If the provisions complained of in this I
proceeding are found to be onerous I
or burdensome, appeals can be made
to the Legislature for such relief as'
the people may think proper to de- I
mand."
The Supreme Court held that the
Legislature acted under its rights
conferred by the Constitution when it!
passed the law which provides that
the two candidates receiving the high
est number of votes are entitled to I
have their names printed on the offl- i
cial ballot. Under the old way the;
names printed on the ballot were those
made by party nominations and by
groups of citizens.
The case decided was that of John I
C. Winston and others, of Philadel
phia, including the late Samuel S.
Fels, against the County Commission
ers of Philadelphia. The law was at- !
taclced because it was claimed it in
terfered with the freedom and equality
of elections and second as applied to
nominations for office of judges it was
special legislation.
Tabernacle For Services at
Mechanicsburg in October
Mechanicsburg, Pa., March 16. —An
effort is being made to have a five
weeks' union evangelistic campaign
here next fall. Several weeks ago a
meeting was held to consider such a
movement and a committee was ap
pointed to secure information in re
gard to evangelists and other data.
The representatives from the various
churches met last evening after service
ir. the Methodist Episcopal Church
with A. 13. Ilarnish, president, and
the Rev. L. M. Dice as secretary. The
committee, consisting of the Rev.
George Fulton, J. K. Hlnkel and R. A.
DeFrehn, submitted their report. It
was unanimously agreed to hold a
campaign next fall by beginning about
the middle of October and to erect a
tabernacle with a seating capacity of
about 2,000 people. A committee "was
appointed to secure an evangelist and
will meet next Sunday night In the
Church of God.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PLAYING WITH FROG
BOYS NEARLY DROWN 1
IN BELLEVUE POOL
Quick Action of Tech High Student
Saves Two From
Death
While playing with a frog on the
shore of a small island In a pond of
Bellevue Park yesterday afternoon Jo
seph Bauchmoyer, 8 years old, 1944
Swatara street, and Willis Gelger, 10,
347 South Fourteenth street, had a
narrow escape from drowning when
loose ground upon which they were
standing gave way and they were
thrown into water beneath their depth.
That the two boys were not drowned
1s owing to the quick action of Martin
Phillips, a Technical high school boy,
15 years old, who lives at 1833 Mar
■ ket street. He, with several com
panions, was standing on the bank of
thep ond. Without a moment's pause
' when he saw the two lads struggling
i in the water he plunged In after them, i
' Thin ice covering the pool made his !
i work of rescue extremely difficult, but
' with the aid of his comrades on the
! shore he soon had both boys safely on
; the bank. The younger of the two
| boys was in a semiconscious condition
: when pulled from tho water and he
i was revived only after a half hour's
I work.
Scores of people who were strolling
through Bellevue enjoying the warmth
of the first Spring day saw the acci
dent and the rescue. The fir-lined
bank of the pond Is one of tho favor
ite resting places of the park. Several
times people on the bank had warned
j the two youngsters against plas'lng so
near the edge of the artificial island on
j which they were standing. But the
boys had caught a frog and were too
much engrossed in watching the an
j mal's antics as he swam in an a'r
hole in the ice to heed. It was whl.s
leaning out over the ice, poking at
the frog with a stick, that the ground
gave way.
Ordinarily the pool is not very deep,
but owing to the melting of the snows
on the hillsides surrounding the pond
the water had risen a foot or more
above its normal level. The boys were
| both small and neither could swim,
j Phillips is an expert swimmer.

Big Increases.—Notices of big is
sues of bonds were filed at the Capitol
to-day by the Philadelphia Suburban
Qas and Electric Co., amounting to
$4,234,000 and the Luzerne County
Gas and Electric Co., $1,953,000. Both
companies are controlled in Philadel

Government Hit.—The Public Serv
lico Commission was to-day asked by
Ithe Philadelphia and Eastern Electric
Railway Company if It could furnish
free transportation to inspectors of
the United State Post Office Depart
ment in connection with the carrying
of mail between Doylestown and
Easton. For years this free service
has been given, but company officials
want to be sure It is allowed by the
public service law of 1913.
Governor Home. —Governor Tener

being prepared.
Grade Crossings.—A hearing will
be held to-morrow by the Public
Service Commission on the condition
of grade crossings In Columbia. A
report on them was made by Investi
gator J. P. Donohey. The Washing
ton Fair Association complains to the
commission that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company compels It to de
posit a guarantee of $75 a day for
shuttle train service between the fair
grounds and Washington. The dis
tance is less than four miles and the
complainant believes that this guar
antee is enacted because the company
does not furnish a sufficient number
of collectors to collect all the fares
before the terminal is reached.
No Spring Duck Hunting.—Dr. Jo
seph Kalbfus, eecretary of the State
Game Commission, just home from
Washington is planning a warning to
the hunters of the State that there
will be no Spring cluck shooting in
Pennsylvania. The federal regula
tions now supersede State laws. In
Pennsylvania no ducks can be shot

Many Planning to Leave Because
of Slack Times an

The stream of foreigners that has
been winding Its way out of Steelton
back to the old home across the seas
since the stagnation of business in the
steel industry has been stopped and
turned backwards by the announce
ment that the steel company will
mako extensive improvements in the
West Side.
Saturday night the first band of
twenty-five Austrians, Servians and
Croatlons arrived In the borough ready
to take a job in the big excavation
which is being made for the yard
cranes. Many more of the foreign
ers are expected back this week and
many that were going home have do
[ elded to stay since the prospects for
work has brightened.
Rapid strides have been made In the
Inst few days in the preparations for
the erection of the new mills and im
provements.
Large gangs of laborers have nearly
completed the excavations for the big
concrete piers for the yard cranes to
be built in the lower West Sldo which
will be almost entirely wiped out by
the enlargements to the steel plant.
A big concrete mixing machine was
received and placed this morning so
that concrete work may be com
menced.
The first consignment of the dis
mantled Milliken Mills, purchased by
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, haaj
arrived from Staten Island and will bo
put into storage until orders are re
ceived from the Philadelphia offices
to go ahead with the actual construc
