Harrisburg's Most Popular Homes It is doubtful if any type of dwell ing built in Harrisburg in the past, has met with such general favor as the semi-bungalow type of houses erected by J. L. Long at Green and Woodbine streets. These dwellings meet a long felt want for small houses, which pos sess all the conveniences and artistic beauty of the pretentious home. Just about a year ago a number of these homes were completed and it was a matter of but a few months un til they had been sold. Operations were immediately begun upon six more homes of the same general type, and although recently completed two of this new lot of houses have been sold. The four remaining houses will unquestionably be disposed of in a short while. Those who are looking for a complete, compact, and attrac tive home in a most desirable locality, will do well to pay a visit to the sam ple house which is open for inspec tion at all times, acquaint themselves STEEL RAIL ORDERS SHOW BIG DECREASE Pennsylvania Requirements Made Public; Many Rails Have Al ready Been Delivered Philadelphia, June 27. Steel rail equipment requirements of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company this year total 137,032 tons. Tills announce ment was made by President Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania Company yesterday. This is 46,000 tons less than the requirements for the year 1913. A large part of this year's orders has been delivered. Out of the, total requirements for the year, definite orders have already been placed for 37.G32 tons and bids have been requested from various steel companies for 100,000 tons more. It is generally understood the orders for all, or virtually all, of the 37,032 tons already contracted for have gone to the Cambric Steel Company and the Pennsylvania Steel Company in about equal proportions, and that the deliv eries have been largely completed. The amount of extra heavy rails which will be rolled for the Pennsyl vania system this year, It was an nounced. is 15,000 tons. These rails will weight 120 pounds to the yard and comprise the two test orders placed with the Cambric and Pennsylvania Steel Companies earlier In the year. To Test Heavy Rail* The Pennsylvania system wishes to test out thoroughly the heavier rails both with a view to increased safety of railroad operation with heavy trains and high speeds and also to obtain a rail which will be more durable, and hence more economical in the long run. The high first cost of the heavy rails was the chief factor operating against theier use. The test orders were placed with the two steel companies largely for the purpose of ascertaining how cheaply such rails could be produced with fair remuneration to the maker Except for the 15,000 tons of extra heavy rails, the Pennsylvania's orders this year will cover nothing but. loO pound rails, the standard of the sys tem and of most other leading trunk line railroads. The cost of standard rails is, and for about a dozen years has been. S2B per ton. For rails not of standard weight and sections, higher prices per ton are charged. It is understood that in the case of the 120-pound rails ordered by the Pennsylvania the difference is slight in the ton price, although, naturally, a given weight covers a smaller length of track. In 1913 the Pennsylvania system or dered 183,800 tons of rails, represent ing a cost of more than $5,100,000. Thus, the steel companies this year will sell about $1,300,000 worth of steel rails less than last year to the Pennsylvania Railroad system. Women Are Owners of Many P. R. R. Shares Owners of Pennsylvania Railroad stock are a big army. Exactly 89,844 pepole, 44,319 of whom are women, are partners in ownership. That the ownership of the railroad is more and more lpeing acquired by small investors is indicated by the fact that while there has been an increase of 8,009 shareholders in the past year, the average number of shares per holder dropped from 119 to 111. The average holding of the women stock holders is 64 shares. On May 31, 30.453 Pennsylvania Railroad stockholders lived in Penn sylvania, 15.350 in New York, 16,536 in New England and 1 1,803 in foreign countries. Scattered throughout the rest of the country are 15,702 stock holders. READING CREWS P., H. & P. crews after 4 p. m.: 18, 15, 1, 16, 10,. 12, 7. 2, 17, 5.

ENGINEER SAVES HOT PEOPLE Stops His Train When He Sees Load of Steel Falling; No One Injured By Associated Press Pittsburgh, June 27. —Stopping a fast passenger train in time to save It from thirteen tons of solid steel, fall ing from a height of 125 feet was the feat of E. C. Ripley, a Pennsylvania engineman of which his friends and railroad men were talking to-day. Ripley was bringing his train into the city under a bridge being built high above the railroad tracks. As he rounded a curve he saw a car loaded with steel beams get beyond control on the finished portion of the bridge, and dash down a grade to the uncom pleted end, directly over the track on which his train was running. Ripley applied the emergency brakes and brought his engine to a standstill just as the heavy beam and car hit the track ten feet in front of him. The beam was buried in the roadbed and the track torn up. Pas sengers were shaken but no one was hurt.

EXAMS WILL BE ORDERED Commissioners Jackson and Dixon Get Together About Employ ment Certificates PNEUMONIA'S GREAT TOLL Caused One-sixth of the Deaths During the Month of April According to Report about physical In- Jt spectlon as well as i mental exami _ Jpjtfocants for certifi- I® cates of employ v jQQQCnI ment between' the aKes ot 14 and 16 = are being taken by B HP* the officials of the y-T" State Department J®"**® of Labor and In dustry in conjunction with the Depart ment of Health and the municipal boards of health in eastern cities. Un der the act regulating employment of minors it is provided that minors over the age of 14 years who can read ana write the English language intelli gently and are physically qualified may be employed in various enumerated establishments. The department has not the funds or attaches sufficient to make the physica lexaminations, but some time ago made arrangements with the Philadelphia bureau of health to handle the physical examinations when applicants appeared for the em ployment certificates. This plan worked so well that similar arrange ments will probably be made with the health authorities in other ctties. The State Department of Health will assist by having its dispensary chiefs make the examinations in places where there are dispensaries and in other districts medical inspectors of school children will render their co-operation New School Year. The State's school appropriation year begins on July 6, this being the time under the school code for the opening of new books. This change became effective last year and it is expected that within a month payment of the school appro priation to districts will be started. Practically all of the 2,550 districts have been paid for the last year, those which failed to file the required re ports having been held up. I'neumonia's Big Toll. —Pneumonia caused almost a sixth of the total number of deaths during April in the state of Pennsylvania, according to mortuary and vital statistics just com piled by the State Department of Health. The pneumonia death roll is the heaviest ever recorded for that dis ease in any month. The total number ot deaths during April was 11,622, of which 1.550 were certified as having been caused by pneumonia. The death rate was high for that month and the Jirth rate rather low, the increase in population being helped along by a birth rate of 18.526. Deaths from 2i<T, c^ use , s inclu <led: Early infancy, ' •> Rrifirht s disease, 882; tuberculosis of the ungs, 851: typhoid. 81; scarlet fever. 13o; diphtheria. 188; measles, (2; whooping cough, 127; smallpox, 2; influenza, 199, and malaria, 3.

The boys are Earl Daniels, 15, and Theodore Leonard, 16. The boys were rowing toward the center of the river where there is a deep swimming hole. They attempted to cross the path of a river steamer coming down stream with several sand flats. Their light boat was caught by the pr ,^ v the steamer and crushed, spilling the youths directly under the big boat. Young Daniels managed to draw himself aboard the steamer, but his companion was carried beneath the boat. t ominp up on the opposite side of the steamer, young Leonard grasped a rope trailing along the side. The momentum of the boat was too great for him to hold on. He lost his grip and sang again. Charles Downey, in charge of the steamer, shut off the power and with out removing his clothes sprang over ;L ust " as J'oung Leonard was sinking the third time Downev over took him and grasped his clothes. After a hard battle to overcome the current he managed to get the nearly drowned youth aboard one of the flats.

When Secre tary Bryan sought to put the blame for the "expression of regret" in the Col ombian treaty on the Taft Administra tion he was apparently mistaken. When asked to-day to explain his statement In the light of more recent developments Mr. Bryan said merely that he didn't "care to discuss the mat ter." It was pointed out to the Secretary of State that on February 7, 1913, Mr. Knox, then Secretary of State, cabled United States Minister Dubois at Bo gota to drop the entire treaty question, as the efforts to arrange the treatv, which was suggested by Colombia, had been unfruitful. Eight days after this, without any information from the State Department and in , opposition to cabled instruc tions, Mr. Dubois presented the mem orandum. suggesting the terms of a treaty. It was this unauthorized mem orandum on which Mr. Bryan apparent ly based his statement in regard to the attitude of the last Administration. House Refuses Bryan's Request For Assistant I Washington, D. C.. June 27. —By a vote of 134 to 82, the House to-day rejected the request of the Secretary of State for an assistant at $4,500 a year. The requtsl was embodied In amendment attached to the legislative I bill in the Senate. I Speaker Clark voted against the mo tion to concur in the Senate amend ment, apparently doing so in order to I make the House's refusal more em | phatic, for there was no doubt about j the ultimate result. He voted "no" In , a loud voice, and the Republicans ap i plauded. DEATH OF MRS.
