I STECKLEY'S,4O4 Broad St. I COUNTY DEMOCRACY SPLIT UP THE BUCK [Continued From First Page] of many men who will not stand for reorganization of a party as a step ping stone for personal aggrandize ment, and similarly many have turned in for the senatorial nomination of Henry Budd, the militant reformer in Philadelphia, against the aspirations of Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer. William K. Meyers, candidate for nomination for Congress-at-large, will be supported by the men who fol lowed the flag of his father in the old fighting days and will have much strength in Cumberland and Juniata Valley counties. So bitter is the con test here that the Fritchey-Stucker faction, which is a power coddled by McCormick when he wanted to make a showing in the State committee, will back Meyers, who is friendly to Ryan. One of the interesting phases of the local Democratic situation is the fact that the owner of the Patriot and W. K.

It seems the longer the ■health Teacher would stay the more Bem&rkable grow the results. For '•very day Harrisburg people are re porting themselves cured after taking the Quaker remedies. Some people do not bell«ve that the testimonials published are genuine. They are sub ject to thie severest investigation, and . inquiry at; the drug store will also prove that cures are beiriK reported , every d»y. The proprietor or the WEDNESDAY EVENING the Star-Independent, are both seek ing favor of their partisans at this time—one for Governor and the other for Congress-at-large, It will be diverting to watch these papers try ing to outdo each other tn their glorification of Wilson while their bat tle axes clash on the armor of each other. Ryan League Gets Busy The Dauphin County Democratic I,eague, which is the organization op posed to McCormick domination, last nisht selected Charles D. Stucker as treasurer and arranged for headquar ters in Market street near the Union Station. It will put out banners and make itself heard above the roar of the printing presses in Market Square. Plans are being made by the league for a meeting and Ryan may be its orator if he can arrange to get here around April 17. Included in the league are members of the Central Democratic Club, which endorsed McCormick early in the game and is Ratoiß to give a Jefferson day dinner. T»> Ryan men will all go to the din ner, too, to show they're for Wilson. In Steelton last night it was all framed up for the Democratic club to endorse McCormick, but only seven teen turned up. Some canny man made a poll in advance and when ho found ten of the seventeen for Ryan the meeting was not held. clerks of a drug store could not or would not recommend our medicine over hundreds of others unless they themselves have been convinced that said medicine is proving or has proved its power. Ask anybody connected with the drusr store what results the Quaker remedies are giving and decide accordingly whether you wish to try them or not The Health Teacher cheerfully answers all questions per taining to the remedies. Sufferers of rheumatism, catarrh or stomach trou bles should call.

Committee's Report It was resolved that the national, committee consider the question, for mulate its conclusions and submit the result of its deliberations for ratifica tion by State conventions. In reciting the views that actuated the national body the special committee of three says: "The committee believed that should convention.? of delegated representa tives of the party, convened in the number of States entitled to cast a ma jority of the votes in a national con vention. ratify the action taken by the national committee in this respect, its action could be assumed to fairly express the sentiment of the great majority of the party, for obviously such State conventions when taken together would consist of more repre sentatives of the party than would be assembled in a national convention. "The plan adopted and recommend ed for ratification provides that tho Republican voters in each State shall hereafter be represented In a national convention of the party by four dele gates-at-large; two delegates for each representative-at-large in Congress; one delegate from each congressional district, and an additional delegate from each congressional district in which the vote of 1908 for any Re publican elector or for the Republican nominee for Congress in 1914 shall not have been less than 7.600. "Alaska and the District of Colum bia under the plan presented will each be entitled to two voting delegates, while Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands will each be en titled to two delegates without the right to vote." Texas Loses Sixteen The result of ihis change In the basts of representation, if ratified by the requisite number of State conven tions, will be a decrease of 89 votes, as follows: Alabama will lose 8, Arkan sas 3, Florida 4, Georgia 11, Louisiana 8, Mississippi 8, New York 2, North Carolina 3, South Carolina 7, Tennes see 3, Texas 16, Virginia 8, Hawaii 4, Porto Rico 2, and Philippine Islands 2. Under the plan presented a congres sional district not entitled to two dele gates on the vote cast in the presiden tial election in 1908 will qualify for two if 7,500 or more votes are cast l'or the Republican nominees in the congressional election this Anticipating criticism from those who believed that a still greater de crease should have been provided in Southern representation, the special committee in its recital says it is with in the province of a majority of the convention of 1916; if it so desires, to establish another new basis for ru ture conventions. 11000 TONS OF EARTH FOR SUBWAY j [Continued From First Page] , ' handling- the execavated earth could | be brought about there would be suf- I' fietent to "dump" for a distance of at least twenty-five feet beyond the curb. This would afford ample support to the curb and at the same time would pro vide sufficient room for a broad walk along the river bank. To Dump Farlli by Cars Furthermore the city would be put to no expense for the material, as either the contractors or the railroad company, it is believed, will be will ing to run a little line of cars to the point for carrying the dirt. With a view to learning whether the State authorities will object to the "till," Commissioner \V. H. Lynch, Streets and Public Improvement De partment, to-day conferred with the tngineers of the Water Supply Com mission. Favorable weather is all that is de sired by the city authorities to go ahead with the improvement work for 3 914. The meeting of the city sinking | fund commissioners this evening will mark the initial step to obtain the ; necessary funds to do the work that j had been contemplated under the 1913 ; loans. ; Parks, Paving and Sewers Until the money is provided, M. j Harvey Taylor, Commissioner of Parks I and Public Property, will not an , nounce his plans, but it is understood that the purchase of some additional | | park iund is contemplated. The con struction of several bridges, including : a concrete structure over Spring creek in the Cameron extension, are among the important Items to be start ed as soon as possible. Xo working orders have been issued to the Central Construction and Sup ply Company, the paving contractors, j by Commissioner Lynch as yet, but ;the Commissioner said to-day he ex pects to give the orders about April j 20. Few streets will be paved this I year because of a lack of funds, and. with the exception of Seventh from Emerald to Woodbine. Maciay from the railroad to Cameron, and some , smaller alleys, the only big job to be undertaken is Berry street from Eigh teenth street to Twenty-third. This section will probably be started imme diately after the Harrisburg Railways Company finishes changing the tracks, according to a Central Construction official to-day. Work has been start ed on the Dock street viaduct and most of the old structure has been , removed. j Busy on Spring Creek Sewer I With the exception of the Spring I creek sewer in South Harrisburg, lit : tie work remains to be done on the ( sewer improvements. The C. W. En feign Company is busy on the Spring creek sewer, however, and about half , of it is finished. Until the money is made available by the sinking fund throat always felt sore and inflamed, caused by the gas forcing itself from my stomach. My heart would palpi tate, I would be short of breath, have dizzy spells and was growing very ab sent-minded. I venture to say that I spent over $2,000 in the last ten years for different doctors and medicines trying to be cured, but all to no pur pose until I tried Quaker Extract and Oil of Balm. I commenced taking these remedies about three weeks ago I already feel better than I have at any time during the past ten years and I am improving dally. If T could not get any more Quaker Extract money could not buy the two bottles I still have." Call at W. H. Kennedy's, so South Third street.—Advertisement gOtRISBURG -TELEGRAPH commissioners and the specifications] are completed, the new severs pro vided by the Lynch "omnibus" meas ure will not be advertised for. Work on the river dam will hardly ! be resumed before June 1 on account j of the river's height. About two thirds of this improvement Is complete and it is fully.expected that the bar rier will be finished this summer, with the exception of a few hundred t'eet on the eastern side. The piers, how ever, will be prepared and the concrete, slabs for the facing will be built to be placed in position by the engineers of the Board of Public Works. It will be necessary to allow a certain open stretch in the dam in order not to back up the water upon the wall work. The River Wall Not more than 36 per cent, all told of the river wall—"the front steps of Harrisburg"— has been completed, and more than half of the 200 work ing days allowed for the job have passed. About 1,000 feet of the steps have been finished. At to-morrow's meeting of the Board of Public Works definite plans for resuming the work will be mapped out. High water is all that is interfering with the resumption of work on thei Paxton creek improvement. When the contractors get under way. how ever, it is hoped that the improvement will be rushed to completion before Fall. Of the 14,000 feet of improve ment, approximately 5,000 feet has been built. From the creek's mouth to Hemlock street, from Market to Walnut and from lteily to Maclay are the completed stretches. NEWS WRITERS WHO TRAVELED WITH VILU [Continued From First Pago] of death and conflict. During the first day's light artillery and infantry at tack on Gomez Palacio the federal fire grew so hot that things seemed to be going badly for the rebels. Men began to leave the trenches and make their way to the rear. Two cannon were attached to caissons that were waiting to be placed in position at a certain point and began also to move backward, the drivers urging the mules on in plain, incipient panic. "All at once a Mexican boy, about 15 years old, rode on horseback through the mesquite in the direction of the rearward movement. "Vuelva!" (Go back!) he yelled again and again, putting spurs to his horse. And at the word from a mere boy the cannon were stopped and turned, the men faced the shot and shell from the south once more and all marched cheerfully b»jck to the field they were about to abaadon. Proprietor Surprised "In simple justice it must be said there were few evidences of vandal ism. There probably has never been a better natured army than that which Villa commands. The morning of the entrance into Gomez Paiacio some soldiers rode up to a well-kept cottage on the ground of the soap factory. The proprietor from the front vard watched them anxiously. One soldier drew in the gallery where a mag nificent climbing roße vine was bril liant with red roses. He took one, waved it gaily to his companions, and all rode on, leaving the house owner astonished at this illustration of mili tary moderation. The incident is typical. In battle, and too often out of it. the Mexican is ruthless. Under ordinary circumstances he is appar ently the most polite and agreeable of men. "There is one branch of the federal service, however, t'pr which the rebel has a constant stock of ferocity. This s the volunteer branch, made up of followers of Orozco in the anti- Madero revolution, called 'colorados' in the military slang of the day. All colorados' must and should die". Halt Train to Shoot A prison train to the north seldom reaches Chihuahua without making a halt somewhere en route to shoot two or three men identified as former fol lowers of Orozco. It is said that Bachimba, the place where Orozco was defeated by Huerta, is a favorite place for such summary executions. On the other hand, the regulars the peons, are regarded with a certain re spect and treated almost with consid eration. rhey are forced into "the serv ice, rebel officers explain, 'ami out fight because they have to.' "Through the whole campaign Villa has been direct and simple in his methods. Torreon was taken bv main strength and tenacity. 'When will Torreon fall?' a newspaper corre spondent asked Villa at headquarters the day after the failure of a night assault from which success had been expected. 'I don't, know,' he said sim ply 'AH 1 know is that the town is going to be taken before we quit.' "Bloody Angles" There, Too "The sieges of Gomez Paiaclo and Torreon had their 'bloodv angles' Shattered remnants of almost anni hilated companies reeled back from La Pila. the fortified hill protecting Gomez Paiaclo. and similar catastro l'hies punctuated with evidence of high courage marked the taking of Santa Rosa and Ca'.abazas Hills, form ing the western wall of Torreon. The rebels gained the positions, but thoy paid tbe price. At other points along the line the dead scattered over the open plain attested that there, too, the federal fire had been concentrated and deadly. "The taking of Torreon has con firmed Villa in his belief in night fighting—his principal contribution to data o{ the science of Mexican war fare. It is true that at night there may be confusion and troops may fire on their own side, as is said to have occurred once during the siege. On the other hand, he holds night at tacks give the assailants protection they would not otherwise have, keep the garrisons in constant suspense and have a greater moral effect on the enemy." FOREST LANDS BEING ITT TO MANY USES IN COUNTRY By Associated Press Washington, April B.—The many uses to which forest lands are put are shown in a statement by the forestry service to-day on special permits granted by the government. There are fifteen thousand of these special per mits in force and the uses to which the lands are put range, alphabetic ally, from an apiary through brick yard, cannery, cemetery, church, cran berry marsh, fox ranch, marine rail way, rifle range and turpentine still to wharf and whaling station.

Jost, Democrat, re elected mayor in yesterday's election. Unofficial figures give Jost a plurality 9,816 over C. A. Burton, nonpartisan candidate who ran on a platform fa .voriutt commission government. Why a woman's page at all in the Public Ledger? Why not a man's page? The theory that a woman is only interested in a woman's page is wrong. A great many women are interested in all the pages in the Public Ledger, and for that matter, a great many men read the woman's page. The Public Ledger is for human beings. miMEToom FOR THEPLATFORMS Time Is Lost in Getting People on and Off When There Is a Big Rush Cutting off passenger trains and add ing additional cars to trains remaining on the schedule is bringing about some delays in handling the too many of the schedules, and already officials are hoping for a remedy soon. According to one official, passenger trains are so long that they resemble a preference freight train. Two engines are being used to many of the trains, as it is impossible to make time with one engine and ten to forteen cars. | It was stated to-day that platforms at way stations are entirely too snort for the long trains and that passengers wanting to reach the rear cars must either walk through the other cars or make a high step from a cinder path. At lines where it is impossible to per mit the use of the car aisles as a route to the rear, cars ahead are loaded and the train then pulls up a little further to permit the rear car to reach the I platform This, however takes time, and i passengers are given instruction to make their exit through the rear door. | STANDING OF H \IIIUMIUHG SIDE Pliilnilelpliln IMvUlon—llß crew first; to go after 12:3 p. m.: 127, tl3, 112, 1-4, 1067 101, 116, 102, 125, 117, 101, 111, 105, 126.
