THE PERSONS DIE
111 MUD TUNNEL
When Tram Stops After Hitting
■ a Woman Gas Suffocates
Passengers
St trial to The Telegraph
Philadelphia. Sept 22. One person
was killed, two others were asphyxiat
ed and the lives of several hundred
passengers endangered yesterday when
the Pottsvllle Express, the fastest
train leaving the Reading Terminal,
struck an unidentified woman and came
to a stop In the long gas-filled Black
Rock tunnel Just above Phoenlxville
station.
Three persons, who were rendered
unconscious by the dense gases in the
tunnel, are In the Phoenlxville Hos
pital with slight chances of recovery.
The dead are: Charles Shabough,
Philadelphia, conductor of the train;
James Harley. Pottsvllle. engineer, and
an unidentified woman, who is thought
to be Mrs. Moyer, of Reading.
Those In the hospital are: Newton
Moll, Pottsvllle. fireman; George Rill -
man, East Hamburg, Pa., passenger,
and Burden Ijesher, Mohrsvilfe, Fa.
Among the passengers were Vice-
President and General Manager A. T.
Dice and General Superintendent J. B.
Ewing, of the Reading Railroad. They
both jumped in and helped to adminis
ter treatment to those overcome, and
succeeded in helping to rescue several
of those unconscious.
A panic followed when the train
stopped, throwing the passengers from
th'eir seats.
Engineer Is Overcome
Karley and Moll, in the meantime,
had climbed down from the locomotive
to look for the body of the woman.
They had proceeded only a few feet
when they fell unconscious. Other
passengers, however, braved the dan
ger from gas and formed a rescuing
party. Appeals for aid were sent to
the nearest stations, and several pul
motors, medical appliances and railroad
physicians were sent to the aid of the
passengers and train crew on a special
train from Phoenlxville.
Scores of passengers who had been
rendered unconscious were removed
■with all possible speed from the
coaches. All. with the exception of the
more serious, were aided on the scene.
In the meantime, some one came across ,
Moll, the fireman, in a dazed rendition,
dragging himself on his hands and
knees toward the entrance of the tun
nel Other rescuers came across the
body of Shamhough, and physicians ap
plied the pulmotor. but their efforts
were futile. Thp Rev. Thomas J. Hor
ton, of this rtty, administered the last
rites of the church to the dying.
One engine sent from Phoenlxvllle at
tempted to push the train through the
half-mile of gas-filled tunnel. In the
middle of the tube the train, for some
unknown reason, refused to move and
those who had not been overcome were
again in danger. With a final effort
several other locomotives pushed the
long and heavy train Into open air.
Shouts of Joy came then from all the
passengers.
Coatesville Folks
Ask Aid From P. R. R.j
Residents of Coatesville have asked '
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company I
help them out of their present
water famine. A request to tap the |
Pennsylvania Railroad pipe line was j
received from Coatesville officials at
the office of Superintendent W. B. Mc-
Caleb, of the Philadelphia division, |
last night. It is probable a limited t
supply of water will be given Coates
ville oach day until the borough sup
ply is again adequate.
The present drought has caused a
shortage of water at Coatesville that
Is alarming. At the close of business '
yesterday there was only six inches of j
water in the reservoir at that place.
The use of pave washes has been!
stopped; mills have shut down, and I
everything possible is being done to t
prevent the present supply from being
entirely exhausted.
The Pennsylvania Railroad receives !
its supply from many sources and for:
many miles feed the water towers and
troughs from its pipe line. These |
water pipes run through Coatesville. |

The commission has dismissed the

To Make Visit.-—Officials and engi
neers of the State Water Supply Com
mission will spend several days this
week making an inspection of the ter
ritory embraced in the Pymatuning
swamp reservoir project, which was
surveyed during the last year in order
to ascertain what it will cost to col
lect the waters of a part of Crawford
county and lnsur<» a regular flow of
water through the Important Indus
trial districts of Mercer, Lawrence
and Beaver counties. The project has
been urged for years, chiefly because
of the damage done by the periodical
floods that have inundated Sharon.
New Castle and the other iron and
steel towns, and the legislature of
1913 made an appropriation of
SIOO,OOO for n start. It is expected
that the whole proposition will cost
over a million, as a gigantic reservoir
must be erected and property bought
to form the storage lake, but it will
bring a return. It is figured, in the
prevention of damage. This year the
whole area to be covered by the dam
and the storage basin as well an in
any way affected by the back water
has been surveyed, a. district dozens
of miles in circumference. Test holes
on the site of the proposed dam and
regulating works have been drilled
and studies made of the water sources
and the geology of the district. Ulti
mately Ohio will probably he Inter
ested In the project.
Drafting Codes. Drafts of codes
for the safe construction, installation
and operation of boilers and elevators
of all kinds will be submitted to the
State Industrial Board probably at the
meeting in October. Special commit
tees are laboring on the drafts and
have been securing Information from
the headquarters of the big engineer
ing societies in New York, experience
of railroads and steel corporations and
casualty and inspection companies. It
is also probable that further steps
toward a simpler form of accident
insurance will be ready late in the
fall.
Powell Ts President.—Auditor Gen

that he had been elected president of
the National Association of State Audi

grant an order asked by the Utilities
Company for the Lehigh to quit ter
ritory it claimed in the Monroe,

SHYS STEEL TRADE IS
WORST SINCE 1903
Officials of Penna. Steel Co. Will
Not Predict Change For
the Better Here
The Wall Street Journal in Its Issue j
this morning, has this to say concern- ,
ing conditions in the steel trade:
"No improvement is noted in the
steel trade, which, according: to one in
dependent steel man. is the worst since
1903. Prices are being shaded as much •
as $2 per ton in order to get business.
Last week was unusually dull in all
steel lines, and in pig iron the total i
amount placed did not exceed 25,000
tons. A number of blast furnaces have (
been put out this month, and the num
ber In blast is the smallest In years.
Pig Iron prices show little or no change
in the last week, probably- due to the
lack of market at any price.
"Few Independent companies are re
ceiving any new orders. The Steel Cor
poration has been able to take ad
vantage of some good Inquiries from
abroad, but the percentage of foreign
inqurles resulting in orders has been
small."
Locally, the steel industry Is slower i
than It has been for years, and Steel
ton people are growing apprehensive
lest the coming winter should prove
one of the fluliest periods in the indus
trial history of the borough. Officials of
the local steel company admit that con
ditions here are had and refuse to ad
mit that a change for the better is in
sight.

126 REGISTRATIONS
RECORDED FOR 0. P.
[Continued From First Panel
cernlng the qualifications of candi
dates applying for certificates as cer
tified public accountants, Dr. Moxey
has been induced to spend to-day and
to-night in Harrlsburg for the pur
pose of meeting those desiring detailed
information on the State board re
quirements or on other matters of ac
countancy. Dr. Moxey may be seen at
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce this afternoon from 2.30 until
5.30 and this evening from 7 until 9.
Professor Thomas A. Budd, of the
accounting staff of the University of
Pennsylvania. one of Professor
Moxey's qualified assistants, arrived
here to-day. Professor Budd has ar
ranged to be here in co-operation
with Professor Raine for the rest of
this week. Professor Budd will, in
Dr. Moxey's absence, be glad to ad
vise those contemplating registration
in the extension school.
Dr. Moxey when interviewed this
morning regarding the value of an ac
countancy education said that to teacb
the fundamental principles is the very
aim of the extension school. He said
it is not equipping managers or clerks
of high grade but the class of young
men who aim ultimately to fill man
agerial positions.
To Teach Fundamentals
The second purpose of the exten
sion school in providing training for
those who desire private accounting
positions was elaborated by Dr. Moxey.
He said "the greatest demand to-day
for the trained accountant is found
out in the public accounting field but
eminates from the accounting offices
of large corporations such as railroad
companies, public utilities and other
concerns as well as from municipal
State and governmental offices. There
are in this country at the present time
many organizations of accounting offi
cers inclnding in their membership
controllers, chief accountants, and au
ditors, all of whom are experts in their
particular line. Numerically they out
number the public accountant ten. to
one. The university supplies through
the courses offered in the extension
school direct preparations for posl
-1 tions of this kind.
When asked how essential he deem
-1 ed a knowledge of accounts on the
part of the busmlnessman, Dr. Moxey
; stated that in his opinion it was not
only essential but absolutely neces
sary.
Planning Opening Meeting
Plans are already being made to
start off the extension school with a
1 rush. The evening classes will be con
ducted In the study room of the
Technical high school building and
' the opening meeting will be held In I
1 Its auditorium. In order that no time
; be lost to the students the opening
• exercises will be held Thursday or
Friday evening. October 8 or 9. The
exact date will be announced as soon
i as it can be learned which night Pro
: vost Smith can be here. In addition
[ to the president of the university,
: Dean McCrea and Director Plerson
; and numerous other members of the
Wharton school teaching staff will be
. present. .
New Passenger Fares
; in Effect October 1
j Special to The Telegraph
> Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—Inter-
State passenger fares in both Eastern
and Western territories are to be in
creased by the railroads in the Imme
i diate future. The new rates will be
fixed on a basis of 2H cents a mile.
Information received by the Inter
state Commerce Commission is that
lithe straight fare between New York
I city and St. Louis, for instance, will
t be advanced $2.
The fare between New York and
i Chicago will be based entirely upon a
2 tj-cents-a-mlle rafe, and so far as
I practicable the fares between inter
. mediate points will bear a like mile
age charge. Because of the laws of
> some States, flxin* the maximum at 2
cents a mile, some difficulty is being
f experienced in working out details of
the proposed advance.

MAW SEEK CHARITY AID
Reports from the officers of the
Steelton Associated Charities were
read at a meeting of the executive
hoard last evening and plans were
discussed for the winter relief work.
Miss Agnes Wilcox, who is in charge
of the distribution of aid, reported
that in spite of the fact that the
greater part of the men out of work
here during the past few months have
found employment on the various
public Improvement jobs, there were,
during the months of July and August
alone, twenty-two applications for
help filed with the Associated Chari
ties. No comparison could be made
with last year's record, as the bor
ough's charity work was not then han
dled as it is now.

S«S SULPHUR IS
SURE 10 RELIEVE
ITCHING ECZEMA
Get an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream and heal skin
eruptions right up.
Any breaking out or irritation on
the face, arms, legs or body when ac
companied by itching, or when the
akin is dry and feverish, can be read
ily overcome by applying a little gold
sulphur cream, says a noted dermato
logist.
He Informs us that bold-sulphur In
stantly allays the angry Itching aijd
irritation and soothes and heals tha
Eczema right up leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Bold-sulphur has accu
pied a secure position for many years
in the treatment of cutaneous disord
ers because of Its parasite-destroying
property. Nothing has ever been
[found to take its place in treating the
| irritable and inflammatory skin affec
itions. While not always establishing
i a permanent cure It never fails to
subdue the Itching irritation and drive
the Eczema away and it is often years
later before any eruption again ap
pears on the skin.
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream which Is applied to the affected
parts in the same manner as an ordi
nary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded, parti
cularly In itching Eczema, proves very
welcome.

EUROPEAN TOURISTS"
TELL OF HORRORS
Bumper Crops Rotting in Fields;
Women and Children
Suffer Most
Returning last night from a two
months' tour of Europe. Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Klsellc and son Vincent, told of
the toll the European war Is exacting.
Mr. Klselic was born in Austria and
came to America nearly twenty-five
years ago. He expected a pleasant
trip to the scenes of his childhood, he
tells, but was disappointed to find,
only devastation and suffering every
where. His boyhood home town, near
Vienna, now resembles a huge armed
camp, he says, and everywhere in
Vienna are soldiers. Out in the
smaller towns and country districts
the war is also exacting heavy toll.
Only women are left behind to harvest
the crops and many places bumper
crops are left to rot in the field.
He tells of an Incident where a
mother with nine children, one. only a
few weeks old. was left penniless to
shift for herself and children while
her husband was rushed off to the
front.

; SIMPLE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
I
i Stop Falling Hair and Itch
ing Scalp
' There is one sure way that has
L never failed to remove dandruff at
i once, and that Is to dissolve It, then
. you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
' It at night when retiring, use enough
. to moisten the scalp and rub It In
gently with the finger tips.
> By morning, most if not all, of
' your dandruff will be gone, and three
1 iir four more applications will com
pletely dissolve, and entirely destroy,
j every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
i have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and
> your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glos
sy, silky and soft, and look and feel
■ a hundred times better.
t If you value your hair, you should
1 get rid of dandruff at once, for noth
■ ing destroys the hair so quickly. It;
- not only starves the hair and makes It
' fall out, but It makes It stringy, strag
• gly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and
, everybody notices it.—Advertisement.
