EQUIPMENT ORDERS
Slow 810 DECREASE
August Report Fails to Bring Pros
perity Anticipated When
Rates Are Increased
Special la The Telegraph
New York, Sept. 3. August was
the dullest month thus far this year in
the railroad equipment business. In
the neighborhood of 5,000 cars were
ordered during the month, which is at
the rate of only 60,000 cars a year,
while normally a twelvemonth should
show from 150,000 to 175,000 cars
bought.
The large orders which were said
to have been held back until after the
rate decision was announced have not
materialized, and although there are
Btill some fair Inquiries in the mar
ket, buyers are In no more hurry to
close than before the decision was An
nounced.
For the first eight months of this
year about 90,000 cars were bought,
but It is expected that little business
will placed In the last four months of
the year. Last year car orders totaled
about 140,000, which was the lowest
in ten years with the exception of
1908. This year will he better than
1908, but only because of orders
placed in the- first six months.
Equipment companies are working
at extremely low percentages. Some
of them are still going on orders taken
In the early part of tho year, but
these will be soon cleaned up and un
less more business develops operations
will fall off to a much lower level.
The companies manufacturing new
equipment, however, are suffering. It
is estimated that the Americain Loco
motive Company is working at times
at low as 10 per cent, of capacity,
with the Baldwin Company on a some
what better basis.
Speaking of the future, equipment
makers in general are mildly optimis
tic, believing that the railroads must
buy materials on a large scale than
they have In the last two years. One
equipment Interest says he things by
this time next year the industrial sit
uation will be going smoothly with
everything running full.
Speaking of the war and its in
fluences the hend of a large car-mak
ing company says:
"German, Belgian and English
competition will be removed for years
to come. After the war railways all
over the world, but especially in Eu
rope. will need new equipment. This
country is the only place they will he
able to get it, and we will have the
trade of practically the whole world.
Business is dull at present, hut I think ,
we will be booming along on the wings
of prosperity next year."

Reading Railway has awarded con
tracts to c. H. Relmard, of Biooms

report that every promihe made to
the firemen had been fulfilled.
Agree to Spend $4,000
The report states that while $4,000
was the amount fixed by the firemen,

Commerce would not be expected to go
that high If tho work could be done
for a less figure. Both the firemen and
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce agreed to the submitting of
bids. The territory to be decorated
was agreed upon at a meeting held
August 24 in the office of A. E. Buch
anon. Continuing the report says:

and by a vote, it was decided to elimi
nate all but the Koster and Traham
bids, and that the matter should be
definitely settled on Tuesday night
September 1. On this date the com
mittee met with Messrs. Ayers, Wert
and Boyd, and representatives of Kos

carefully, the Traham bid being $2,-
600 for the city streets as outlined for
merly. The firemen's committee after
having promised that Chestnut street
auditorium decorations would come

STEELTOI YOUTH IS

Father James B. Bolton Will Cele

REV. FATHER JAMES R. BOLTON
After five long years of study with
in the walls of the Vatican, "Jimmy"
Bolton, a former Steelton youth, has
returned to the home of his fathers
in beretta and cassock—the Rev.
Father James B. Bolton, a priest of
the Church of Rome.
And on Sunday morning at 9.30
o'clock in St. Jamas' —the church In
which he one time served as altar
boy—the Rev. Father Rolton will cele
brate solemn high mass for the first
time.
Father Bolton, who is probably one
of the youngest clerics to be ordained
in this part of the country, only ar
rived from Rome a few days ago and
for awhile will be the guest of his
brother. Squire George V. Bolton,
Harrlsburg.
Years ago Bolton went to school in
Steelton and later served an appren
ticeship with his brother, a leading
Steelton barber of the times. Bolton
Is a Steelton High School boy and
following the finish of his studies here
jhe went to Villanova College near
Philadelphia. Preparation for his
long course of study at the Vatican
was completed there and then the
young priest-to-be set sail. Until a
few days ago he was studiously com
pleting his theological studies in Au
gustine College—Just next door to the
famous basillica of St. Peters. . It is
in St. Peters that the cardinals' college
of the world Is anxiously balloting
upon the choice for Pope.
The Rev. Father Rolton sailed from
Rome on August 15 and his journey
from Italy was without excitement or
adventure. The young priest said his
boat did not even sight a foreign war
ship.

The question of electrically Illumi

the one type that appears to be gen
erally approved Is the interurban kind
that has been installed In Dauphin.
Accompanying the councilmen was

lowing the Inspection tour the Hirh
splre councilmen asked for price quo

CARDINAL CD
IS ELECTED POPE
[Continued From First Pago]
He serveVJ as secretary to the late
Cardinal Kampolla.
He was appointed substitute secre
tary of state In 1301, and In 1907 he
was elected to the post of adviseor to
the Holy office.
In 1907 he wasappolnted papal nunuto
of Madrid In succession to Mgr. Ri
naldlnl. but this appointment was can
celled three days later. This Incident
had occurred Just before ho was made
archbishop of Bologna. When Mgr.
Delia Chlesa was given this post in
was declared In Rome that it was
mainly with the object of combatting j
modern religious Ideas, Bologna be
ing the headquarters of the National
Democratic League, whose members
advocated what is known as "mod
ernism" in religion.
In January, 1914, while still at
Bologna, the present pope issued a
pastoral letter strongly condemning
the tango.
It has been 174 years since the time
of the last pope Benedictine. In his
election to the papacy in 17 40 Cardi
nal I'rospero Lambertlni assumed that
title. It Is an interesting fac- that the
new pope was archbishop of Bologna
while Pope Benedictine XIV was born
in Bologna.

Rome dated at 2.50 yesterday after
noon and received in New York early

der Pope Leo XIII.
Bishop Slianalian, head of the Har

PENROSE SPEAKS
IN OLD CRAWFORD
Senatorial Candidate Sees the Idle
Mills as a Result of the
Democratic Tariff
Senator Boies Penrose spent yester
day meeting the voters of the Twenty
sixth congressional district, Erie and
Crawford counties. He found the Re
publicans of Northwestern Pennsyl
vania enthusiastic over the prospects
of party success in November. He
was assured that his own candidacy
was growing stronger daily and that
he would carry both counties.
Senator Penrose went to Crawford
county from Pittsburgh in the morn
ing. He was accompanied by a dele
gation from Mercer county headed by
Dr. J. H. Martin, postmaster at Green
ville. The senator made the trip on
the Erie nnd Pittsburgh railroad
through the Shenango and Mahoning
Valleys, the most important industrial
region outside the Pittsburgh district.
Both valleys present unmistakable
evidence of widespread Industrial de
pression brought on by Democratic
tariff legislation. Furnaces were idle
and the great iron and steel plants
which are not shut down are operating!
with reduced forces of employes and
on only part time.
Senator Penrose was Informed that
the labor vote would be cast almost
solidly for the Republican ticket and
that large Republican majorities could
be depended 011 in all of the counties
of that section.

American oil engineers who have
reached London from Rumania via

teresting stories of the scenes they

was heavily mined and they also wit
nessed great aerial activity in Ger-
I many.
Food was extremely cheap in Ber
lin, they said, and all restaurants,
even the best, had largely reduced
their tariffs. Business was proceed
! Ing as usual, though recruiting sta-
Itions were busy in Unter den Linden.
They visited the flying station and
estimated that over fifty Zeppelins
were In readiness to start at any time.
There were also a hundred or mora
aeroplanes, while there was immense
activity in constructing new craft and
training men.
From the general conversation they
heard while in Germany they gathered
that there would be a combined attack
bv the naval fleets at an auspicious
moment.

' wholly against airships with such
I powers of mischief that the Zeppelina
I have demonstrated up to the present
1 time.
