Pennsy Takes Novel Method to En
force Rules Against Crowd
ing on Platforms
i
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is again experiencing considerable
trouble with people who insist on
standing on the platform of passenger
cars, especially when trains are ap
proaching stations, and they have
adopted a novel plan to try to lessen
the danger from this practice by means
of letters being written from the com
pany to all Industries located along
their lines.
These letters have been sent out to
the general managers and superinten
cents of difforont industries, asking
them to post notices In their factories,
warning employes of the danger of
standing on platforms of passenger
cars, the following general notice to
fill passerrger trainmen having been
posted to-day, on all bulletin boards, by
Passenger Trainmaster John Keiser. of
the Pittsburgh Division:
"Your attention is called to the fact
that concerted effort on the part of
■every trainman Is necessary, at once
rto keep passengers from riding ori
jilatforms or steps of cars between or
approaching stations.
"A letter has been sent to all In
dustries. requesting that all employes
[be warned of the danKer and of viola
tions of the rules for safety, by ridinK
,on platforms.
"This practice, now common, will be
broken up by concerted action alone.
Jf, in any case assistance in enforcing
the rule Is desired, you will report to
this office at once."

STEELTDIi YOUTH
IS DMIED
[Continued from First Page]
Edmund Skiff, a musical instructor at
Botsford, saying that Lester had been
drowned there. No details were given
and it was not even said whether or
not the body had been recovered. Mr.
McCoy caught a train at 1 o'clock this
morning. He will arrive in Botsford
late this afternoon.
Details Not Known
Young McCoy was a graduate of the
Steelton High School, class of 1913,
and was a talented musician, having
composed a number of successful
pieces. He studied at Columbia Uni
versity until last month and was un
til yesterday studying with Prof. Skiff
at Newtown, Conn.
Just what he and Prof. Skiff were
doing at Botsford his parents do not
know. They do not believe, however,
that they were filling any engagements
at Botsford. His mother believes that
they were bathing in either a river or
lake at that place when her son was
drowned.
If the body has already been recov
ered it will be brought to Steelton at
once and funeral services will prob
ably be held Sunday. The Rev. Chas.
A. Huyett, pastor of the First Re
formed church, will officiate and burial
will be made in the Baldwin Ceme
tery.
Lester McCoy is survived by his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCoy, a
sister and two brothers, Charles, in the
United States Army, and Guy, at
Philadelphia.

BOARD MEMBERS
10 BE SUMMONED
If They Do Not Give Information
They May Be Arrested For
Contempt of State
Members of the
S State Economy and
A Efficiency Commta-
I' 13' sion havo given no-
Jftm. tice that unless
officials of State
Ife examining hoards
JoS333Jt appear to give in
| eWmflpßWljy formation as to the
% conduct of their
aSB jS branches of the
''-".j government as re
mMKJH n nun quested the com
mission will ask for legal measures to
compel them to appear. The commis
sion has been advised legally that it
has all of the powers and duties of a
legislative commission and that it has
the right to enter proceedings for con
tempt.
Practically all of the heads of de
partments of the state government
have appeared before the commission
and given information to supplement
what the commission ascertained in
its investigations as to the number,
salaries and duties of officials and at
taches. Next week subordinates ot
many departments and commissions,
including the public service, water
supply and others, will be examined.
Members of examining boards have
thus far refused to give information
asked.
The commission plans for Investi
gations to be made of various state
institutions, this work being given to
two of the commissioners, and when
it is finished conferences with the na
tional commission in charge of econ
omy in departments and with commis
sions In other states.
Many Ask Pensions.—ln the last
two weeks applications for mothers'
pensions have been made from a dozen
counties where no boards for the ad
ministration of such service ore in
existence. Consequently the State cai
give no aid. Most of these applica
tions were from counties In vicinity of
Philadelphia and Allegheny and sharp
letters have been written to state offi
cials asking why no aid is given. The
law requires county commissioners to
give an amoilnt equal to the State be
fore a board can be named by the Gov
ernor and an allottment of funds
made.
Ex-Senator Dead.—Ex-Senator Or
ren C. Allen, who represented Warren
county district for several years and
former postmaster of Warren, died in
Baltimore, where he has been In a

tertainment of the patients and an up
to-date service will be given at practi
cally only express cost to the State.
The donation will be greatly appre
ciated at the sanatorium, where time
sometimes hangs heavy. Probably
some Eastern house will do the same
thing for Mont Alto.
Moulders Here. A delegation of
moulders called on Commissioner
j Jackson this afternoon to discuss en
forcement of recent acts. The depart
ment is rather rigidly requiring com
pliance and some suggestions were of
fered.

Jamaica Is Considered
Most Likely Port For
Huerta and His Party
By Associated Press
Puerto Mexico, Mexico, July 17.
Jamaica Is the port most frequently
mentioned aboard the foreign ships as
the destination of General Huerta, al
though It is admitted that a tinal
choice of a place of refuge lay with
the overthrown provisional president,
who will afrive here to-day. Huerta
is said to haVe mentioned that to a
few of his friends as the one to which
he would so should he, ever leave the
country. Ho would have no difficulty
in transferring there, to some trans-
Atlantic steamer and without attract
ing attention as he would in Havana.
A little more than a cable's length
from the German cruiser Dresden, on
which it is expected General Huerta
| will go, Mrs. Huerta and a number of
the women in her party spent their
first night off shore on the British
I cruiser Bristol. The older women were
] given the best quarters on the ship,
but it was impossible to provide ail
with rooms, and recourse to cots
placed on the awning-sheltered decks
was resorted to. The children and
young women of the party, used as
they were to the comforts and lux
uries of wealthy homes, nevertheless
caught some of the spirit of camping
out and the laughter that reached
shore until late at night evidenced the
fact that they are not greatly per
turbed by their plight.
Mexican Problem in
no Way Solved Declare
English Newspapers
By Associated Press
London, July 17. —Commenting upon
the resignation of President Huerta,
the morning papers give credit to
President Wilson for the success of his
policy, but consider that the Mexican
imbroglio is in no way solved.
New Government Will
Be Short Lived He Says
By Associated Press
Havana, July 17. —The former
Mexican minister of commerce, Que
rido Moheno, prior to his departure
het;e yesterday for New York via Key
West, said liuerta's resignation was
no surprise to him and expressed the
belief that a constitutional govern
ment would be short lived.
"Within ninety days," he added,
"the people who are now shouting
approval will cry death to the revolu
tion. In six months Huerta will be
the most popular man in Mexico, be
cause the Latin race always pities the
fallen and opposes the powerful."
The ATnerican customs inspectors
refused to allow Senora Moheno to
take aboard the steamer Miami with
her hats trimmed with aigrettes, be
cause such plumage is forbidden entry
into the United States. She sent them
back with a friend to Mexico and
Senor Moheno, learning of the pro
hibition, exclaimed:
"This could only be expected from
an American."
Diaz Makes No Comment
of Huerta's Retirement
Paris, July 17.—General Porfirio
Diaz, ex-President of Mexico, was
packing in preparation for his de
parture for Biarritz for the summer
season when tho news came that Pro
visional President Huerta had decided
to resign. Neither the former dictator
i nor his son Porfirio would make any
comment, but it is known that he sug
gested to Huerta some months ago the
advisability of retiring.
Privately Gene'ral Diaz has often
sharply criticised the policy of the
Washington Administration, but he
has for some time, held the opinion
I that Huerta's disappearance would fa-
I t-il It ate a solution of the Mexican
problem.
Carranza Says He Will
Not Recognize Old Debts
Monterey, Mex., July 17.—"General
I Carranza will not recognize the valld
' ity of the debts of Huerta after he en
ters Mexico City and establishes a con
stitutional government there," was the I
statement made here yesterday by
high constitutionalist officials. It was
in answer to questions concerning a
statement said to have been published
in the United States that foreign na
tions had made a demand through
Washington that Carranza agree to
, recognize the legality of the debts of
| Huerta and grant .amnesty to -11 po
i litical prisoners.
Attorney General of
Republic Quits Office
Mexico City, July 17.—Ricardo Go
mez Robelo. attorney general of the
republic, has resigned.
General Hernandez, governor of
Puebla and father-in-law of Victor
Huerta, son of the ex-president, has
also resigned. The state legislature
appointed Francisco Canseco to suc
i ceed him.
The gambling house* in the capital
were closed last night by order of
President Carbajal. It was announced
that no more gambling will be allowed 1
bv the authorities.
President Carba.lal has ordered that

once.
Carranza Is Urged to
Protect Federalists^
Washington, D. C., July 17.—The
United States continued to-day to ex
ert Its influence with General Car
ranza to bring about an immediate I
cessation of hostilities and an agree
ment with thf Carbajal government
for the peaceful transfer of power at
Mexlca City to the Constitutionalists.
John R. Sllllman, personal representa
tive of President Wilson with Car
ranza, received further instructions
urging him to Impress upon the Con
stitutionalist chief the advisability of •
giving guarantees for the protection j
of the lives and property of those,
who had supported the Huerta gov
ernment. Beside endeavoring to ob
tain a general amnesty, representations
on behalf of the clergy In Mexico now
In disfavor with the Constitutionalists

Officials See Peace in
Mexican Republic Soon
By Associated "reiu
Washington, D. C., July 17. —Admin-
Jfitration officials saw peace looming
to-day on the horizon of Mexican poli
tics. Francisco Carbajai's informal
statement to tb* Washington govern
ment that he intended to retire in
favor of Carranza, Constitutionalist
chief, and Carranza's announcement
that he was villing to negotiate witb
I the federals f.'or peaceful transfer of
power in Mej tco City was regarded as
practical assurance that tho era of
bloodshed was near an end In the
southern rej üblie.
The road remained to be cleared,
however, fir negotiations between the
two Mexican factions. Carbajal, Huer
ta's successor, seeks a proclamation of
general annesty for the forces which
fought against the northern armies.
M»nibors,.if the revolutionary Junta In
Washington expressed doubt whether
Carranza would be willing to grant
that. Thuy took the attitude that per
sons who turned against Madero
should I' 6 compelled to face court
trials. By that moans, they contended,
potontlaK possibilities of counter upris
ings would be eliminated.
