Local Officials Say This Section
Has Already Been Hit Hard;
Many Idle Men
Fifteen thousand men have been
furloughed on the lines of the Penn
sylvania Railroad since January 1,
1914, it was announced yesterday at
the general offices of the company at
Broad Street Station, Philadelphia. In
timation was given that further re
trenchments and more furloughing
would begin on or about April 1.
At the local offices of the Philadel
phia division no information could be
had to-day as to whether the proposed
retrenchments would affect employes
Iti the Harrisburgfi Enola and Marys
ville shops and yards.
Both the Philadelphia and Middle
divisions of the system have been hit
hard since the first of the year, and,

THURSDAY EVENING,
J according to estimates of officials
; given to-day, fully 1,500 men residing
jin Ilarrisburg and its vicinity are
j either on a furlough or are working
on half time.
Drastic Retrenchments
The retrenchment policy now being
I carried out by the Pennsylvania Rail
| road is said to be the most drastic
I and farreaching in the history of the
company. As the company normally
I employs 140,000 men on its Kastern
! lines, more than 10 per cent, of the
j total force has been thrust into the
ranks of the wholly idle. In addition,
j of the approximately 125,000 persons
still retained on the payrolls of the
j E.astern lines, 40,000, or nearly one
i third, have been placed on part time.
I A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
j "Two hundred clerks have been dis
charged at Broad Street Station with
in a day or two. Altogether, counting
! dismissals, lay-offs and short-time or
ders, a 25 per cent, reduction, In
I round figures, has been effected in the
l working hours or skilled and un-
I skilled labor on the Pennsylvania's
Eastern lines, and wage payments
have been cut accordingly."
"The end is not yet, inquiry yester
day showed. On the contrary, en-
I forced economy has gained a mo
mentum tht seems likely to carrv it
I much further. Retrenchment extends
,to many matters besides working
| hours, number of employes and pay
j rolls. The Pennsylvania recently cut
j off considerably more than a score of
! passenger trains on the Eastern lines.
Several of these were through trains,
from the East to the West and South,
and ranked among the most impor
| tant on the system. Others were di
visional trains of lesser, but still very
j considerable Importance.
"Further reduction In the passenger
; train service is now being arranged,
!it was ascertained yesterday, and, ae-
I cording to present plans, shortly will
j be made effective."
Former Harrisburgers
Have Been Successful
I Referring to two of the recent ap
pointments on Pennsylvania Railroad
! lines east of Pittsburgh, the weekly
j bulletin from Broad Street Station,
! Philadelphia, gives the following brief
I sketches of two former Harrisburgers:
Walter W. Hubley was born May
| 24, 1878, at Harrisburg, Pa. He grad
uated from Lafayette College In June,
I 1900.
Mr. Hubley was employed as rod-
man iu the office of the assistant en
gineer of the Monongahela division on
December 1, 1900, and in December,
1902, he was transferred to the office
of the principal assistant engineer at
Altoona as transitman. He was ap
pointed assistant supervisor on the
Pittsburgh division September 1, 1903,
and on March 1, 1913, he was trans
ferred to the Middle division in tho
same capacity. Mr. Hubley was pro
moted to supervisor of the Philadel
phia division on March 15, 1914.
Walter S. Yeatts was born in Oain
den, N. J., March 7, 1876. He was
employed in the ottice of the manager
of the Empire Line as clerk on June
27, IS9S.
Mr. Yeatls was made clerk in the
general freight agent's office March 1,
1900, and on June 1, 1904, he was pro
moted to Freight Solicitor at Wilming
ton, Del. He was transferred to Pitts
burgh in 1906, and to Harrisburg in
1907. On May 20, 1912, he was pro
moted to Canadian freight agent at

£ or reimbursement
■ m?® "IwlJlft according to an
tlie State Game
Commission to-day
by Deputy Attorney General J. E. B.
Cunningham.
Secretary Kalbfus, of the Game
Commission, ruled recently that coun
ties must pay the bounties to people
who present scalps whether the legis
lature makes an appropriation or not,
but tills was objected to. Mr. Cun
ningham rules that the acts of 1907
and litis make the counties legally
liable to persons presenting proper
certificates for payment, of bounties.
The fact that there are now no funds
specifically appropriated to reim
burse counties for payments of boun
ces does not affect the matter.
Petitions Filed. — Nominating peti
tions were filed to-day as follows: Sen
ate. Maxwell Chapman, Dunmore,
Washington. Lackawanna district.
State committee, Democratic. John J.
Murray and John W. Robinson, Pitts
burgh, Forty-second district; John 51.

Mr. Ewing's Illness. —Word receiv
ed at the Capitol to-day at noon told
of the critical state of the illness of
Chairman Nathaniel Ewing, of the
! Public Service Commission, at his
home in Uniontown. The judge has
been seriously ill since he left here in
January.
Powell to Answer. —Auditor General
Powell left to-day for Philadelphia
where he will consult M. Hampton
Todd, former attorney general, and
David T. Watson as to his answer in
the mandamus suit brought to force
payment of the automobile license
revenue for State highway improve
ments. It Is believed that Mr. Powell
will answer some days before April 6,
the date on which the mandamus pro
ceedings Is returnable. The suit
makes a demand for $1,035 for a Mif
flin county limestone company as a
test, setting forth that on February 16,
the date of the demand there was in
the treasury a large sum of money
received from licenses since January 1.
The Auditor General will probably set
forth the specific appropriation act as
nis defense and that will mean a long
oattle.
I By Requisition.—The largest requisi
tion made to the division of distribu
tion of public documents since its es
tablishment was made to-day when
20,000 copies of school laws Were ask
ed for. This shipment will make 13
tons. The school laws will be sent to
each county superintendent for dis
tribution to teachers.
May Meet Here. —The Legislative
Fire Insurance Investigation Commis
sion will probably make a second visit
to consider ratings of that city with
in a few months. Hearings may also
be held in Harrisburg, Scranton, Read
ing and Altoona, but no arrangements
have been made.
Large Increase. The Malvern
and DufL'ryn Mawr Building and Loan
Association to-day filed notice of an
increase of stock from $1,000.000 to
j $3,000,000 and the Excelsior Savings
(Fund and Loan Association, Norris

Dr. Dixon's appointee will be he heard.
Kick on Hates. —The Whitehall Ce

plains of the rate assessed for the
transportation of limestone from Ann

ley and the Philadelphia and Reading,
and seeks reparation. W. C. Fulton
and others, who alleged Inadequate
station facilities at West Lebanon, In
diana county, on the line of the Buf
falo, Rochester and Pittsburgh, have
notified the commission that the facili
ties have been improved, and Annie L.
Kuhn, who complained that the Han
over and McSherrystown Water Com
pany refused to furnish service, ad
vises that the complaint has been ad
justed.
Xew Uniform Order.—General or
! ders were issued to-day from National ;
1 Guard headquarters announcing a
modification of the general order re
quiring guardsmen to wear the olivo
drab woolen service uniform at the
inspection of the Guard by regular
army officers in April. Because ot
nonarrival of uniforms the First Bri- ■
gade organizations, the two companies |
of engineers and the field hospital will
not be required to appear in the new
uniform, but efforts will be made to
supply all other organizations prior to
the federal inspection. Jt is stated
that issues will be made to the above
mentioned organizations immediately
after July 1. ,
Can't Sell Trout.—Sale of game fish
is prohibited in Pennsylvania during
tli« closed season whether the fish are
caught in Pennsylvania or not, ac
cording to an opinion given to the
Department of Fisheries by the Attor
ney General. The question arose over
shipments into this State of trout
caught and preserved in other coun
tries and States.
No Award Made. —A meeting of the
Pennsylvania Panama-Pacific Commis
sion was held yesterday to open bids
for the erection of the pavilion at
Sap Francisco. A number of bids
were received, but in many instances
they were of the blanket form, which
Included In the general bid the work
of wiring and plumbing. The commis
sion decided to ask the contractors to
file three separate bids—that is bids
for the building proper and the wiring
and plumbing, to conform with the
i act of 1913. When this is done an
other meeting of the commission will
be held, when the bids will be made

South Dakota Vote
Enthuses Regulars
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., March 26.—Re
publicans in Congress believe that
they sfe something significant in the
result of the Republican primary elec
tion held in South Dakota yesterday
at which Representative Charles
Burke defeated Senator Crawford for
the nomination for United States Sen
ator. Mr. Burke is classed as a regu
lar Republican of the standpat va
riety. He has served as a member
of the executive committee of the
Republican congressional committee.
The third party movement in South
Dakota has become disorganized and
it was said to-day that it has no con
siderable following and no central
committee.
Republican politicians remember the
advancement made by the Progressive
movement in the Northwest in the last
campaign and feel that the triumph of
Congressman Burke indicates that the
Republican party will regain power
in the Northwestern agricultural
States at the next elections.

LAY PLANS TO OPEN
THE GARDEN SCHOOLS
Plots Likely to Be Ready For Dis
tribution Within Several
Weeks
A eommitteo of the Steclton Civic
Club is preparing plans for the open
ing of the Club's garden school on
Cottage Hill. Although the exact ilatc
of this event has not been definitely
decided, It is more than likely that it
will be held within the next three or
four weeks.
Mrs. G. P. Vanier, chairman of the
Garden Schools Committee, announced
tills morning that she would call a
meeting of her committee some time
within the next two weeks to complete
the arrangements for letting the plols
and to decide the number and amount
of the prizes to be given.
The Civic Club has the use ol' two
large plots of ground on Cottage Hill,
which each year are used for this
purpose. The plot in Sixth street con
sists of about fifty good-si/,ed garden
lots for family use and the plot in
Spruce street contains sixty-two gar
dens for the children. Both plots have
been raked and covered with fertiliser
in preparation for the opening next
month.
Garden schools here were inaugur
ated by the Civic club in 1909 and are
now beginning the fifth season. Each
Year there has been ;i greater interest
in tiie scheme and the gardens have
given better results.
Family plots are given free to the
people in the order of their applica
tions. For the children's plots there
is a fee of five cents charged. So
great was the demand for plots last
year that the entire number of plots
I was given out within twenty-four
hours of the time the first application
was accepted.
