TRIG TO PLACATE
FOREIGN SOXOLS
Croations Will Ask Servians to For
get Differences Over
Assassination
Plans for the amicable settlement
of the differences between the Croa
tian and Servian residents of Steelton's
foreign settlement wore discussed at
a meeting of the Croatian Sokol, a
secret organization, in Croatian Ilall,
South Second street, last evening.
Since the recent assassination in
Rofinia of Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand, heir to the Austrian throne,
and his wife, and the rioting that fol
lowed this deed In the various prov
inces in Europe, there has been a bit
ter feeling between the Croatian and
Servian residents here. This feeling
was so Intense that the plans for a
joint Servian and Croatian celebration
of the Fourth of July had to be
dropped. A few days later there was
a stabbing affair in South Second
street, which is now attributed to a
discussion over the assassination.
Realizing that this animosity be
tween the nationalities Is not to the
best interests of the Croatians and
Servians who have emigrated to this
country, leaders of the two factions
have decided to attempt to bring the
factions together for an amicable dis
cussion of their differences and In an
effort to create harmony and friend
ship between the races.
At the meeting last evening Mich
ael J. Horvath, proprietor of the Hor
vath Printer}' and president of the
Croatian Sokol. addressed the Croa
tians and advised that they forget
their grievances against the Servians
lie advised a close union between the
races. Stanko Srblc, a prominent
Croatian, spoke along similar lines.
Following the addresses a vote was
taken and It was decided to Invite the
Servian Sokol to. meet with the Croa
tians Sunday evening at 7 o'clock in
Croatian Hall to settle their differ
ences and formulate plans for cement
ing their relationship.
Sparrows Point Mill to
Begin Rolling Soon
Speaking of the closing of the. Spar
rows Point steel plant, a subsidiary of
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, the
Philadelphia Public Ledger this morn
ing, says:
"Closing down of the Sparrows Point
plant of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
panv was erroneously reported to be
due'to failure of the Pennsylvania Rail
road to give rolling Instructions with
Its recent order to the former company
for 22,000 tons of steel rails. As a mat
ter of fact the steel company has roll
ing instructions and will begin rolling
rails before the week Is out. It Is Im
probable, however, that all the com
panies with whom the Pennsylvania
Railroad has divided Its big order for
100,000 tons of steel rails for 1914 re
quirements, will begin work thereon so
promptlv. In letting Its rail contracts,
the railroad, as a general rule, orders
reservations for the allotted aniounts,
that is, nn integral part of the contract
Is that the steel comnanles guarantee
that work will be started and deliveries
made, as the railroad directs. The
larger part of the Pennsylvania Rail
road's rail order for 1914 will not be
.jrenuired for some time."
WIGFIELD TO ASK
FOR ANOTHER COP
Burgess Trying to Get Better
Police Protection For
Taxpayers
Although the borough council failed
to act on his recommendation that
the police force be increased by the
addition of a motorcycle' policeman
and several patrolmen. Burgess Wig
field has not given up his efforts to
secure for the taxpayers better police
protection.
At the next meeting of council, he
announced this morning, he will ask
that he be given authority to hire
another patrolman to act as a substi
tute to officers who are sick, disabled
or on their vacations. For over a
week Patrolman Clinton Jones has
been off duty on account of sickness,
"rtiere is no patrolman to take his
place and as a result his "beat" is
not patroled—unless some of the other
patrolmen are forced to take a larger
"beat."
According to the burgess, he will be
forced to give the borough less police
protection for several weeks during
the vacation season if council fails to
give him a substitute patrolman. Each
patrolman, he says, is entitled to a
week's vacation and the Chief of Po
lice and sergeant each two weeks.
When the vacation season starts there
will be no one to take the absent
copper's place, if a substitute is not
hired. That means that, with one man
on duty at the police station, there
will be only three patrolmen to cover
the entire borough at night and none
during the day.
Burgess Wigfleld said this morning
that he has already taken the matter
up with the chairman of the police
committee of council and that he be
lieves favorable action will be taken
on his request.
TREAT FOR SHAKESPEAREANB
Lovers of Shakespearo will enjoy a
rare treat at the First Methodist Epis
copal Church this evening at 8 o'clock,
when Charles Richmond, a noted
Shakespearean reader, will give a
reading containing scenes from "Mac
beth," "As You hike It," "Hamlet,"
"Julius Caesar" and "The Mercha.it
of Venice," Interspersed with anec
dotes, etc. Admission will be free.
TBLI.S OF ZIONIST MOVEMENT
In an address before the congrega
tion of Tlperth Israel Synagogue, last
evening, Rabbi Ashlnsky, of Pittsburgh,
explained the Zionist movement and
spoke In favor of the Jewish collniza
