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.

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.

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

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,

it is shown that 46 8 died of cancer and
7S porsons committed suicide, 98 were,
killed in mines and 81 on railroads
the number dying from other forms oi
violence being 4 76.

Commissioner James Foust says that
manufacturers of flour in other states
which had been sending "bleached"
flour into Pennsylvania have taken

BOYS IRE CRDGKT
UNDER STEM
Engineer of Flat Boat Rescues One
From Drowning—Other
Saves Self
Two Highsplre boys were rescued
from drowning in the Susquehanna
river yesterday afternoon in a thrill
ing manner when the rowboat in
which they were rowing was run down
and capsized by a river steamer.
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.

Bryan Mistaken About
"Expression of Regret"
Washington, June 27. When Secre

the "expression of regret" in the Col
ombian treaty on the Taft Administra

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.

Courthouse Might Have
Been Blown Into Bits
Timely discovery yesterday of a
broken lightning rod on the top of
the courthouse made by City Elec
trician Clarke E. Diehl, probably saved
that building from destruction. The
broken rod was found while inspect
ing the fire alarm system vesterdav
The cable leading from the lightning
rod, which is supposed to run to the
ground was broken off. The end of
the cable leading to the top of the
ligtning rod was on the roof In such
a way that had lightning hit the ton
of the rod, the bolt would have passed
into the building and torn the structure
to bits.
