[Continued From First Page]
[specify clearly the location of his resi
| dence and depend upon the quick,
I mind of the girl at the switchboard j
'to call the apparatus or obtain the
; assistance of the desk man at police
I headquarters. Under these circum
stances considerable time is lost, for
quite frequently the line cannot bi
cleared.
Furthermore, the number of phone
calls to which each tirehouse tele
phone is limited is 500; at times,!
however, there have been as many as
a thousand calls a year.
Tlic New Plans
Plan No. 1, as suggested by Local
Manager Watts, provides for the fol
lowing at a total cost Of $855: Switch
board and operator's set, S3O; first
trunk, S6O; four additional trunks at
$42 each, $168; 37stations at $6 each,
$222, 18% miles, excess mileage at
S2O per mile, $375.
Plan No. 2 includes the same cost
with fifteen miles of wiring, a differ
ence of $75 over the first plan.
Under the first plan a main and
extension telephone in the residence
of the chief and assistant flre chief, a
main and extension phone In each
firehouse, and five stations in the po
lice station, all to be connected on
individual lines to the switchboard,
and five trunks between this switch
board and the city exchange.
The second plan embraces, in addi
tion to the main and extension phone
services i t the chief and assistant
chiefs residences, a main and an ex
tension service group as follows:
Chief's and assistant, same circuit;
Citizen and Mt. Vernon, same; Wash
ington and Paxton, same; Mt. Pleasant
and Shamrock, same; Allison and
Royal, same, and the Friendship,
Hope, Good Will and Susquehanna,
on Individual circuits.
Mr. Watts' Letter
In his letter to Mr. Taylor, Mr.
Watts points out the advantages of
the proposed system and disadvan
tages of the present system, and says
in part:
We have to-day 8,000 tele
phones in service in this city, each
one of which is practically used
as a tire alarm box, and under
the present method each fire ap
paratus is subject to calls from
the public at large. Many In
stances have occurred in cases of
small fires, where a party will
rush to the telephone and call
for a fire company and often
times they will think of a com
pany which Is located entirely
out of the district and fall it to
come to their assistance; this
means a delay in getting to the
fire, to say nothing of the wear
and tear of the apparatus.
I could cite you many cases of
this kind which have come to my
attention. In other words, you
have no supervision of telephone
calls for the flre appartus. Then
again we have had many cases of
people calling up in their ex
citement and asking the operator

EXPLOSION VICTIMS
Associates Say Free Speech Advo
cates Were Killed by Bomb
Sent to Carson
; POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING
I Stepsister of One Dead Man Says
i She Did Not Know Explosives
Were Kept in House
By Associated rress
New York, July 6.—Michael Mur
phy, 19 years old, the only member of
the group of free speech advocates
, who escaped with his life from the
j fatal explosion on Saturday morning
' that wrecked the tenement at 1626
I Lexington avenue is being sought by
, every policeman and detective in New
York to-day as the one person most
likely to know the real story of what
occurred in the little flat. Murphy dis
appeared after being in the hands of
the police before they were aware of
'the identity of the victims of the ex
i plosion. He visited a nearby police
station, was given clothes to replace
his own which were torn to bits, and
then dropped out of sight.
Just what charge could be placed
against Murphy the police say they
do not know, but It is believed he
might be induced to throw some light
I on the cause of the explosion and per
haps explain why alarm clocks and
other things used in the making of
bombs were kept In the Berger apart
ments.
Stepsister Talks
Louise Berger, stepsister of Carl
i Hanson, one of the dead men, who
j lived In the flat where the explosion
| occurred," remains firm in her first
; story that site knew nothing about
i what happened prior to the explosion,
and denied that she knew explosives
were kept in her rooms.
Miss Berger, Alexander Berkman
and other leaders of the free speech
movement with Which Caron, Hanson
and Berg, the victims of the explo
sion, were identified, told the police
they believed the three men were
martyrs to a cause and as such they
proposed to honor them in death with
a public funeral service In Union
jSquare. Berkman said that a number
of organizations were already making
I plans to hold an impressive public
j funeral on Saturday afternoon next.
.Rebecca Kdson and Charles Plunkett
I will also deliver addresses if they are
| free at the time. The latter two are
| to appear at the village court In Tar
rytown to-day to answer to rioting
charges. Berkman said the bodies of
| the three men would be cremated.
James J. Ettor, an Industrial Work
er of the World organizer, said to-day
that Caron had never been a member
of the I. W. W. and that that organi
zation did not approve of his methods
or verbal attacks on John D. Rocke
feller, Jr.
DEATH OF MRS. SAMI'EL SLESSER
Special to The Telegraph
Hershey, Pa., July 6.-—-On Saturday
forenoon Mrs. Samuel Slesser died at
her home, near Hockersville, after an
illness of several weeks. The funeral
will be held on Tuesday forenoon at
her late home. Burial will take place
at Union Deposit. The Revs. A. S.
Lehman, of Hummelstown. and Mr.
i Witmer, T'nion Deposit, will officiate.
for a fire company, and she, not
knowing which company to order
out or call, must refer the matter
to the Mayor's office, and it in
turn must call the (Ire company
and tell it to respond to the tele
phone call; this necessitates one
to three minutes before the ap
paratus is ordered to the fire after
receiving the call, and, as you
know, seconds count where there
is a flre.
When Polks Call
| There have been many other
cases where people call for cer
tain fire companies and when the
operator endeavors to make the
connection the line is busy, and
she is unable to place the call
with that company. This means
that the party who originates the
call must wait until they can get
the company or until the operator
refers it to the Mayor's offlee,
which orders out another com
pany to respond to that call. I
know that you agree with me that
this is a very bad condition and
should have been remedied long
ago.
The proposed system will eliml- '
nate these difficulties, as the fire
enginehouses will be directly con
nected to the switchboard located
in the Mayor's office, and all calls
received by our operator in re
gard to fires will be at once con
nected to that private branch ex
change and the operator there will
then get all the necessary Infor
mation from the party caliing and
order the proper apparatus to re
spond. Ther« never could be the
question of the operator not being
able to get the company that, is
wanted, because he will have con
trol of all the fire enginehouses,
and even though the lines are
being used he can cut in on the
circuit and tell them to respond
to a fire call at once.
FOURTH AT HERSHEY PARK
Special to The Telegraph
Hershey. Pa., July 6.—lt is esti
mated that at least 5,000 people were
at this place on Saturday to celebrate
the Glorious Fourth. The crowds be
gan to arrive early in the morning,
while the bulk came In the afternoon

tractions during the day was the two
interesting games of baseball played
between the local team and New Hol
land. The victories were evenly divid

to 3. in favor of New Holland, while
In the afternoon it was the same, in
favor of the local team. At least 1.000

others were sitting, biting Mrs. Baker
before she could get out of the way.
The animal also bit a man by the

BE HELD NEXT 41
City Will Commemorate Nation's
Birth Together With Comple

MUNICIPAL SERVICES STIRRING
Thousands Gather About Flagpole
at Front and Market
Streets
In many, many ways was it forcibly
Impressed upon Harrisburg folks Sat
urday that cerainly and truly "the
flag is still there," the Huertlstas and
other doubting folks to the contrary
notwithstanding. .
All day Old Glory swung over the
city from the municipal staff at Front
and Market streets. Beneath It some
75,000-odd people celebrated in a
number of ways.
The raising of the colors was at
tended with all the ceremony that ob
tains under similar circumstances on
a warship or at a military post, with
parades and speeches and things in
addition. In the evening there was the
sunset gun, as the flag slid down from
the peak, a bugler sounded "retreat,"
and again the band swung Into the
"Stiy Spangled Banner."
So much for the municipal cele
bration.
In dozens of other ways Harrisburg
folks observed Independence Day.
Many left town for the week-end at
cottage or camp or watering or moun
tain resort: water sports on the creeks
around Harrisburg drew hundreds of
canoeists; many put In a quiet day on
the Susquehanna: thousands picnicked
at Boiling Springs, Mt. Holly, Hershey,
and Summcrdale and Paxtang, where
there was dancing most all day; the
towns around Harrisburg, which cele
brated the day In an old-fashioned
way, drew many, many carloads; the
fortunate folks with autos toured the
country 'round. Reservoir Park, with
its band concert in the evening, and
the River Front parks with the bands
playing in the morning drew thou
sands and emphasized the Importance
of municipal band concerts; incident
ally scores of folks spent much of the
day on the tennis courts at Island and
Reservoir; and, of course, the national
birthday was the big day for the na
tional game. The victories for the
home team on the Island Saturday
set the pace.
Next Year the Big Noise
Rut. while it was the concensus of
opinion that Harrisburg had celebrat
ed well the "safe and sane" Fourth,
most all Harrisburg looked just one
year ahead and had a picture In its
mind's eye of another big day when
the river would be colorful with skim
ming craft, bands in the parks, bunt
ing along island, bridges and water
front—and thousands of people bank
ed along Harrisburg'a completed
"front steps."
"That should be a double celebra
tion next year nnd a mighty big one,"
was the concensus of opinion, "be
cause we'll observe big events—Uncle
Sam's birthday and the completion of
the river wall and the dam."
Independence Day, 1914, has been
history these forty-eight hours or so,
but it might be well to tell something
of the municipal end of the celebra
tion.
Mr. Nead's talk at the municipal
end of the celebration was full of the
snap and fire of the real Independence
Day speech. Here it Is in part:
"You who have received the 'bap
tism of fire' know full well what les
sons this day and these patriotic dem
onstrations teach to all, and especially
tench understandingly to us who are
facing the westering sun nnd behind
whom the shadows are growing very
long. We are warned to be 'on guard!'
for there are numberless pirate crafts
hovering around the good old 'Ship
of State, each flying its spacious en
sign of 'progressive reform." Will we
permit these pirates with their con
trolling motives of commercialism and
selfishness to scuttle the ancient and
noble ship?
"And for you. young men, —and 'I
speak unto you because we are strong'
—what lessons does the day bring?
"To my mind the warning to you
is as clear as the sunlight. Be not

Pittsburgh Mills Cut
Down Vacation Period
Special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, July 6.—Steel mills have
reduced the "vacation time" planned
for the first three weeks in July in
(this district to an average of about
ten days, as a result of (he freer or
dering of material for July and Au
gust delivery.
Better specifications for midsummer
deliveries caused tho Carnegie Steel
Company to alter its schedule so as to
permit several of its plants to operate
for a full three weeks in July, instead
of closing from July -I to July 18, as had
been announced. The National Tube
Company was forced to put on addi
tional capacity last week in conse
quence of orders for 100,000 tons of
tubular products. Structural business
already booked for the third quarter
admittedly is better than for the May-
June period.
Railroad releases of orders for rails,
locomotives and cars since the middle
of June have convinced the steel trade
that the roads have definite informa
tion on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission's decision in the rate case. In
cluding the Pennsylvania order of 137,-
000 tons, the rail business for June
totaled over. 250,000 tons for domestic
roads; car prders for the month of
June also were the heaviest of any
month this year.
The general situation In rolled iron
and steel products shows little change.
In Chicago plate mills have booked
40,000 tons of car plates and shapes,
or which 5000 tons were specified for
immediate delivery.
