14 ROOSEVELT SITS UE IS TRYING TO KEEP OUT DFJDLITICS In AU Seriousness He Declares That He Needs His Spare Time For Other Purposes By Associated Press Oyster Bay, N. Y„ May 28.—"I'm trying to keep out of politics as much as possible Just now," said Colonel Roosevelt to-day. He made the re mark In all seriousness, notwithstand ing the fact that ever since his return from South America he has been see ing his political associates at the rate of half a dozen a day. The colonel made this statement in response to a question about the or ganization work of the Progressive party during the last year and his opinion regarding proposals for its amalgamation with the Republican party. He declined to express any views upon these subjects. Just at present. Colonel Roosevelt aald. he was busy with preparation of t> new book. That would take up his spare time until after his return from Spain, which will be on July 4. After that, he said, he would give more time to politics, although he hoped that for six weeks he would not be obliged to give a great deal of time to party affairs. "I'd like to get acquainted with my family," he explained, but he shook his head doubtfully as he said it. Another political conference was to be> held to-day. Colonel Roosevelt ex pected to see ex-Senator Albert J. Bev eridge, Indiana Progressive leader; Theodore Douglas Robinson. New York Progressive state chairman, and Regis Post, former governor of Porto Rico.

Colonel Joseph Hutchison would not admit the truth of the reports to day. The colonel did say, however, that some things are not being looked after, according to his views and or ders. For several* days there have been reports that officers doing night duty have failed to make accurate reports of police happenings. It is these in accuracies that has been causing Colonel Hutchison no little concern. Complaint has been made that mat ters referred to the desk officers at night have not been reported to Colonel Hutchison. Every morning Lieutenant Edward Warden before quitting his desk leaves Colonel Hutchison a list of arrests and ex planation as to why arrests were made. Due to the fact that some of the important details are not reported to Lieutenant Warden, these reports have sometimes been incomplete. Orders, it is said, will go out re quiring desk officers to make a com plete report of all calls, complaints, These reports will be turned over to Lieutenant Warden who will report to Colonel Hutchison. If these orders are hereafter disregarded, it was hint ed in and about police headquarters, well,— There'll be SOMETHING doing!

NEW LIGHTSHIP ID j HER ENTIRE CREW OF 25 111 LOST AT SEA Vessel, Recently Completed in Scotland, Was Enroute to Halifax, N. S. By Associated Press Halifax. N. S., May 23. Tlie loss of the new lightship. Halifax No. 10, with j all of tlie twenty-live men on board, is I indicated by the discovery of wreck- i age and three bodies near Lisconib, 100 miles east of here, to-day. The lightship was on her way tc this port from Paisley, Scotland, where she i was built. The lightship, which was due here yesterday, is believed to have struck a' rock while feeling her way through the j thick fog that has enshrouded the coast for several days. The wreckage was sighted and the j bodies picked up by the steamer Duf- I ferin, which reported that life belts i marked "Halifax No. 10," were strapped j about each of the victims. I'pon receipt of the news of the I wreck the Government marine | agency here made preparations to send out steamers in search of other bodies. All of the victims are believed to be Scotchmen, who were engaged by the builders to navigate the vessel across the Atlantic. The lightship sailed a few davs ago from St. John's, N. I"., where she had stopped for coal. Liscomb, the supposed scene of the disaster, is a small island off the east- I ern coast of Nova Scotia, and is about forty miles west of Cape Canz.

Musser, of the Harrislnirg Railways Company, to-day informed a. committee of residents of Paxtang that the company would be willing to sprinkle or oil the right of way on the Derry street line into Pax tang Park if the people would co operate. For years the dust has been one of the greatest nuisances along the Derry street line, and as the traffic is heavy, due to the park travel, people living in the village of Paxtang have real estate in the air most of the time. This year the dust nuisance has start ed in earlier than usual. Incidentally, it is worse. To-daj a petition signed by every resident of Paxtang and a number in the vicinity was presented to Mr. Mus ser, asking that the street be sprinkled or oiled. It was represented by the committee that the dust was some thing frightful and Mr. Musser sug gested that the highway be scraped and offered to attend to oiling along the right of way, which includes tracks and two feet 011 each side of rails, if the residents would do their share. Last summer residents of Derry street between Nineteenth and Twen ty-third streets oiled the street in an effort to keep down the dust, and ef forts to have the city care for the portion of that thoroughfare that will not be reached by the paving will be made. man Kreider is a source of general gratification to his friends. The friends of Prizer are remarking that in Dau phin county McCormick, Palmer and Creasy ran close together and Prizer was away short, although he made their cause his own. A. M. Cornell, well-known granger, was beaten by F. W. Dean for the Democratic nomination in the Four teenth district. Sheriff L. P. Kniffen, of Luzerne, won the Republican and Washington nominations. In Schuylkill Lees majority over Guinan, the re organisers' candidate, appears to be growing. Jesse L. Hartman won hands down for the Republican nomination in the Nineteenth. In the York-Adams district the parti sans of Gitt will probably start to sharpen knives for Congressman Brod , beck, who won renomination. The surprise of the primary was the way Dewalt defeated Bothermel in the Berks-Lehigh district. The petition of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western Railroad for the approval of an arrangement by which there will be abolished three grade ; crossings of the Dundee Crossroad in I Hanover township, Luzerne county, 1 was granted. STATE AFTER THE GRADE CROSSINGS Public Service Commission Paving the Way For the Abolition Gradually The Public Service Commission at its session this week had under con sideration the abolition of an unusual number of grade crossings in various parts of the State, and the expecta tion is that by the end of the year there will be a marked reduction in the huniber of these death-traps. There are over 10,000 In the State. Yesterday the contract was consid ered between the city of Philadelphia and the following railroads: Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash ington; Pennsylvania; Baltimore and Ohio, and Philadelphia Belt Line. Tills contract provides for the aboli tion of about forty grade crossings by the construction of an elevated struc ture over certain streets, the abandon ment of certain tracks and the con struction of new tracks in new loca tions without grade crossings. Commissioners Pennypaeker and Johnson will make a personal inspec (ion of this situation on the morning of June 1, and in the afternoon will hold a hearing in the matter of the petition for the abolition of a grade crossing on the Philadelphia and Reading at Fern Rock Station. The contract lias been approved for the construction of the Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad, which involves nineteen crossings of highways above or below grade, which will result in the deflecting of much of the freight traffic now routed through the center of the city of Wilkes-Barre to a new route over the connecting railroad around the city. The petition of Allegheny county and the Pennsylvania Railroad for the approval of the relocation and im provement of a highway between Du quesne and Dravvosburg was granted. This improvement will abolish two grade crossings at an expense of about $55,000, of which amount the Penn sylvania Railroad Company assumes $45,000. The petition of the borough of Wil kinsburg and the Pennsylvania Rail road for the approval of a contract involving the abolition of three grade crossings in Wilkinsburg. the eleva tion of the railroad and the construc tion of four under grade highway and two footway -crossings was approved by the commission. The cost of this work will amount to $2,200,000, of which amount the railroad company assumes about $2,050,000.

Shirk, aged 33. of ISSI Fulton street, a brakeman of the Middle division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was injured early this morn ing when he fell from a box car near Vandyke. He was admitted to the Harrisburg Hospital. HT IS DID DIGIT UP WITH SULPHUR Use like cold cream to subdue irritation and clear the skin. Constant or intermittent irritation producing itching and red, angry Eczema patches on the skin is readily relieved with bold-sulphur cream. The moment it is applied the itching stops and the healing begins, says a noted dermatologist. It effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema that it is a never ending source of amazement to physi cians. For many years bold-sulphur cream ha- occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-de stroying properties. It is not only para sinoidal but also antipruritic and anti septic and nothing has ever Dcen found to take its place in overcoming irrita ble and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet in every in stance it instarutly stops the agonizing itching; subdues the irritation anil heals the inflamed raw skin right up and it is often years later before any Eczema ecuption again appsars. Those troubled should get from any jiharmacist an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it directly upon the affected skin like you would any ordi nary cold cream. It isn't unpieasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome. particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with itching. This is published for Walter Luther Dodge Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
