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.

THREATEN SHAKEUP
OF POLICE TO GET
MOREJFFICIENCY
Hutchison Says He's Displeased
With Way Things Are Being
Looked After
Reports say a shakeup Is coming in
the police department.
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 WILLING
10 LEND HIS AID
Railways President Says Company
Will Co-operate in Laying
Turnpike Dust
President Frank B. 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,

Lees majority over Guinan, the re
organisers' candidate, appears to be

Jesse L. Hartman won hands down

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.

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.
