NEW CHI ORDER IS
PUCEDHTIILTOONIL
Local Shopmen Hopeful That It
Will Mean Better Times
in Harrisburg
Shopmen employed in the local
Pennsylvania Railroad shops to-day
learned a 4argc car order has been
placed ut tho Altoona shops. In
creased business at Altoona usually
affects work in the local shops.
The order placed on file at Aloona
yesterday calls for immediate work on
40 new box cars. Whether this is a
part of the order for 1,000 cars re
ceived early this year is not stated. At
Altoona 1,250 men were put off when
retrenchments were started. While a
4 0-car order is not large, it Is the
belief that it is a forerunner of a
general resumption of business.
Local officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, however, say they look for
no Immediate increase in work at Har
risburg or Lucknow shops. Men at
work have about all they can attend
s.o, according to a statement made to
aay. It was also said that there Is
nothing at present to warrant any in
crease in employes.
The new box cars to be built at Al
toona are for use on the main line.
The cars will be of the X 2 5 class, the
latest design of box cars designed for
the hauling of merchandise of all
kinds. The cars will have the all-steel
underframe of the same type in use
for Bome time past for cars of similar
character, while the body will be all
steel with wooden linings.

FILE TiniFFS
Public Service Commission Gives
Orders About Commodity
Rates in State
Tho Public Service Commission has
issued nn order that all utility com
panies doing business in Pennsylvania
must file at the office of the commis
sion by June 1 copies of all tariffs
issued by them in effect on January 1.
In addition there must be filed all sup
plements and amendments so that the
commission will have a record of all
prices, rates, etc., for service ren
dered, and, if a common carrier, the
manner of distributing trains, care,
boats or other means of transpor
tation, together with rules and regu
lations that affect rates or distribution
of facilities. The notice states that
the filing is not to be construed as
approval or waiver of any authority
of the commission.
A ruling has also been made that
common carriers are authorized, upon
reasonable request, to publish com
modity rates on one day's notice to
the commission and the public from
and to intermediate points which do
not exceed those in effect from or to
the next distant point named In the
tariff, provided no advance is made in
existing rates. This is to avoid con
fusion and burden in making com
modity rates requiring wide pub
lication.

2.000 to Attend Session
Upwards of 2,000 oud Fellows from
all over Pennsylvania Including the
Daughters of Hebekali, women's
branch of the order, will assemble at
the session which will be formally
opened Monday, May 18, but on the
day provious, services will be conduct
ed at Salem Reformed Church. This
services, which will take place Sun
day evening, will be participated in
by the local lodges and by many of
tho ofHcors of the lodges who are ex
pected to be here in advance to the
general coming of the hosts of dele
gates from all over the State. The
Rev. Donald S. Mackellar, of Hawley,
Wayne county, who is chaplain of the
order, will preach at this time.
Then on Monday the sessions prop
er will begin in the Majestic Theater,
when ofty, county and State officials
will deliver addresses of welcome to
which officers of the grand lodge will
reply. Sessions will continue for four
or five days. This is the ninety-iirst
annual sitting of the grand lodge. Ow
ing to its central location and desira
bility as a convention city, Harrisburg
has been a favorite as a place of hold
ing the grand lodge sessions, the Odd
Fellows choosing it more often than
any other place. At the meeting of the
grand lodge in 1913 at Gettysburg this
place S was again selected for tho 1914
meeting.
Representing 1,193 lodges in the
State, about 1,200 men are expected
here, which together with grand lodge
officers and others, will swell the num
ber of visitors to 1,300. Then, it is
expected, there will be about 600
members of the Rebekahs in attend
ance. The Chestnut street auditor
ium has been secured as the meeting
place of the Daughters of tho Robe
kali.
Local committees are at present
busy laying plans fo*- the reception and
accommodation of the visitors, and no
pains will be spared to make the con
vention as successful as any hitherto
held In this city. The 1,800 or more
Odd Fellows in the city are endeav
oring to awaken an interest in the
coming of the iodgemen to Harrlsburg
with a view to having the town gen
erally decorated In their behalf. They
point out that Harrlsburg secures
these sessions and the presence of over
2,000 strangers without being called
upon for any contribution either from
its uiunicipal governors or from the
body of citizens themselves, and urge
that Harrlsburg ought to show its .ap
preciation of the honor conferred on
the city by a liberal adornment of the
town.
The grand lodge officers who will
be hero will include:
Grand Master Fred C. Hanyen,
Scrantor; Deputy Grand Master Paul
A. Benson, Erie; Grand Warden J. P.
H. Jenkins, Norristown; Grand Secre
tary Usher A. Hall, Philadelphia;
Grand Treasurer M. Richards Muckle,

Secretary Harry S. Wright, Philadel

Scranton; Grand Conductor, William
C. Cowles, Scranton; Grand Guardian
O. P. Blanchard, Nelson; Grand Her
ald Harry Smith, Philadelphia.
Competition for the offices which
usually develops a fair-sized friendly
c n*est, begins at the grand warden
ship, the two offices above this suc
ceeding by promotion, according to
the well-recognized custom of the Odd
Fellows.

the act of 1907 creating a Share Tree
Commission.
For weeks past the Civic Club and
Municipal League have been agitating
the appointment of this commission
to stop butchery of trees.
A question was raised as to whether
Burgess Wigfleld had the power to ap
point tho commission or whether ac
tion by the borough council was nec
essary.
This morning Secretary Feidt made j
a further search and found that a i
resolution accepting the provisions of j
the so-called Shade Tree act, liad been
passed unanimously by council and
signed by Burgess T. T. McEntee Feb
ruary 29, 1912. For some reason or
other, however, no commission was
ever appointed.
Under tho provisions of this act a
commission of three men will be ap
pointed to have supervision over the
planting, trimming or moving of all
shade trees !n the borough. The com
mission will also have the power to
levy a tax not to exceed one-tenth of
a mill to pay the expenses of earing
for trees.
FISHERMEN GET AWAY TO
ANGLE roil SOME TROUT j
The opening of the trout season to
day was the signal for many of the!
borough's nimrodß to get down their
fishing rods, gum boots and provision
stacks and hasten away to answer the
