Samuel Red continues as presi dent, Michael Jenkins, of Baltimore, and A. .1. County, who performs simi lar duties for other leased lines in tho Pennsylvania system, were elected vice-presidents.

Idle Cars On Decrease.—The num ber of Idle freight cars continues to decrease. In the last two weeks 8.819 | cars, formerly Idle, have been put into service. The number of unused cars on September 1 was 163,326, as com pared with 172,145 cars on August 15. More coal cars have been put into use, but In box cars the improvement is only nominal. Movement of grain has not yet drawn heavily on the box car supply and congestion of grain at ex port points, although tying up a cer tain number of grain cars temporarily, resulted in curtailment of shipments of grain for export, so freeing cars at the loading point.

This policy, to my mind, is not only safe and sane, but evidences political acumen and sound common sense. "How can you justify this fact with the endorsement by your league of the foolishness of the self-constituted ag gregation of McCormick shouters at Harrisburg last Thursday, in endorsing the candidacy of Vance C. McCormicK, when it is a well-known fact that Dr. Martin CI. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate tor Uovernor, will not only sign the local option bill should it come to him, but will use all proper and legitimate influence to have same pass ed through both the Senate and House? "How can you approach Republican Senators and Representatives and ask them to support our local option bill In view of the fact that you have need lessly affronted the Republican people of the State by endorsing the Demo cratic candidate, although he is no firmer upon the question than the Re publican candidate? "How can you answer the very pos sible reply ot these Senators and Rep resentatives when they put this fact at you, and say to you: 'it would not only be unwise and impolitic, but absolutely unsafe for us to accede to your wishes, because, judging from your treatment of Dr. Brumbaugh, you may at the very next election turn againßt us, even thougli we now accede to your request and vote for local option bills.' "How can you face the Republican people of the Commonwealth and ask them to support local option Senators and Representatives with any grace, and expect a favorable reply, when you have placed this affront upon a candi date whom they honor and trust? "You have dealt the local option cause in the State of Pennsylvania a deadly blow, from which it will take years to recover, and have done it contrary to your own declared practice In the past. "You have sown to the wind and you will reap the whirlwind. "May you, from the evil results of this folly, learn wisdom in the future. "Very truly yours, "(Signed) C. TYSON KRATZ." William Beidleman to Be Buried Friday William Beidleman, aged 36 years, died at his home, 218 Crescent street, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after an illness of several months.

MORE WHEAT SOI THAN FOR DECADE Enormous Acreage Has Been Put Into the Ground Throughout the Keystone State M More wheat will I tumn than for L. years past in w Pennsylvania, de jCvogprgl clarc officials ot Vjgß®W|Brajß men t of Agricul- I SI been visiting varl »| ous sections of the state and attend ing agricultural exhibitions. The year 1914 was notable for a large crop of wheat, preliminary estimates being about 24,000,000 bushels, and It is thought that with the right conditions this may be exceeded. People on Capitol Hill attribute the planting of many additional acres In wheat to the high prices prevailing and to the prospects that there will be a large foreign demand for wheat next year. Reports from some coun ties show larger portions than usual on farms being sown in wheat and In several counties noted for wheat crops there is much activity. It is also re ported that wheat is being sown late in order to lessen danger of dnmage by pests. Hunters Registering.—Chances are that the registration of hunters for 1914-1915 will rival that of last year, when approximately 300,000 hunters took out the papers required to permit them to hunt. In addition it is esti mated that over 100,000 farmers, their families or their tenants hunted on their own lands last year, taking ad vantage of the provision of the law enabling them to do so without being licensed. The estimates are being based upon reports made of the sale of licenses, which is stated to have been heavy in a number of counties where the demand was light at this time last year. It is expected that there will be a brisk demand for licenses early in October. Hold Up Shipments —Low water in streams in the State in which it was planned to "plant' trout this month has caused Nathan R. Buller, State commissioner of fisheries, to halt ship ments of young trout from the Belle fonte and Corry hatcheries for the present. It was stated to-day that the order was imperative if the young fish Were to be successfully "planted" and that the embargo would be raised as soon as condition improved. Thus far Bellefonte has put out about 37,000 young fish, all one year old and from four to five inches long. The returns from Corry hatcheries are believed to be about the same. Large shipments of young perch, bass and "sunnies" are being distributed. They will be continued. Pate Fixed.—The Pennsylvania Pub lic Service Commission has fixed Octo ber 22 as the date for the hearing of the complaint of the West Chester Board of Trade against the rates of the Philadelphia Suburban aGs and Electric company. A request for a hearing was made on September 10 and the dat<j laws flexed at the recent meeting. Hearing Goes Over.—The attorney general's department has continued In definitely the hearing In the proceed ing attacking the stock issues of the Phoenixville, Valley Forge and Straf ford Street Railway company. Argu ment will not be heard for some time and various propositions will lie con sidered meanwhile. Big Payments —The Lehigh Valley Railroad company paid to-day to the State Treasury $180,875.20, represent ing the State tax on loans and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company paid in $50,000 in State taxes. Argument Put Off.—Owing to the absence of M. Hampton Todd, former attorney general, in Europe, and for other causes, the argument of the au tomobile license case has been post poned from the October to the Janu ary term of the Supreme Court. It will be heard In Philadelphia. Hearing Oflicials.—The State Econo my and Efficiency commission to-day went into the organization and meth ods of the fiscal departments of the State Treasury. Auditor General A W. Powell and his staff and some of the attaches of the State Treasury were heard. The health department will be taken up next.

HXJtRISBURG TELEGRAPH SURVIVORS OF FIGHT AT HOLLAND SEAPORT [Continued From First Page] hoats and tried to save themselves by jumping in tho water. The boat was beneath the waves within three or four minutes after the explosion. The cruiser Hogue, which was near by, heard the explosion ar.- realized the danger at once, although at first those aboard her believed their sister cruiser had struck a mine. The Hogue im mediately launched numerous life boats and began to save the swimming survivors, but while this was going on the Hogue herself was torpedoed, ap parently In an exactly similar manner as the previotfc ship, three shots reaching her hull, according to the survivors. The Hogue sank in a few minutes, but the greater part of her crew were saved in their own boats. Two Submarines Hit The cruiser Cressy at this point dis covered the presence of two German submarines on the way to attack her and began shelling them with heavy projectiles. The Cressy's marksman ship was excellent and both sub marines were demolished, according to survivors. This statement, how ever. is not onfirmed from official sources. Meanwhile from the other side the Cressy herself was torpedoed in two places and sank immediately. When the attack occurred the cruis ers were steaming in a line ahead, three miles apart. The presence of the submarines was unssupected until two of them were sighted by the Cressy. No other ships were In sight at the opening of the attack, but the Dutch steamer Flora came in view on the horizon just after the Hogue sank. The captain of the Flora saw only the Cressy and was about to steam on his way when he saw the Cressy suddenly keei over and go down. He imme diately steamed toward the scene and lowered his boats. It was then for the first time that he understood that three cruisers in all had been sunk. He picked up many sailors clinging to spars and to pieces of wood. Among the survivors Is the captain of the TTogue. The captain of the Flora says that several English sailing boats are coming to Ymuiden with more sur vivors. From the conflicting accounts given by the survivors here it seems that there were three German submarines in the attacking party. All hands agree that the Cressy was bravely fir ing her guns as she sank at two of the German submarines and these are reported to have been sent to the bot tom. As the was getting ready to steal away with the rescued sailors some British destroyers appeared In sight. The sailors, fnr from being dis couraged at the niishap. express the conviction that Admiral Jellicoe will; now teach the Germans a lesson and that the ships of th»» line when they enme into action will amply avenge the destruction of the cruisers. Praise for Voorharn A special word of praise is due to Captain Voorharn, of the Flora, who, with only eighteen men in his crew, carried out the work of rescue with the greatest skill. Owing to the rough ness of the sea. the task of taking on board men stiff with the cold was extremely difficult, and many of them had to he handed up by means of ropes. The Dutch crew attended to their wants with the greatest kindness and freely gave them clothes from their meager store. It Is understood the British sailors will leave to-mor row for a place where they must re main for the duration of the war. 110 Survivors of Sea Fight Reach Harwich By Associated Press Harwich, England. Sept. 23, via London. 3 A. M.—Survivors to the number of 110 from the British cruisers Ahouklr, Cressy and Hogue, which were torpedoed and sunk by German submarines, arrived at Har wich and Parkeston. three miles west, last night. Of the. survivors 30 were officers and the others seamen. Ac cording to estimates obtained from the. survivors, about 700 men In all of the crews, approximating 2,000 men, were saved. Crowds of towns people silently watched the arrival of the cruiser and a flotilla of destroyers bearing the survivors. The crews of the welcoming boats in the harbor were cheering those who had been res cued from the sailors' bed of honor in the North Sea. The news of what had happened spread like wildfire, although nobody had been allowed to talk directly with the survivors. In the crowd there were soon many tear ful faces, for most of those along the pier and beach had relatives or friends aboard the sunken cruisers. Following the landing of the unin jured survivors a little hospital boat shoved off from the pier and took oft the injured from the cruiser and the destroyers. Many of the survivors had spent some time struggling in the water, but few showed any serious effects of their experiences. They walked through the line of question ing faces with firm steps and smiling as if a submarine attack was no very unusual experience. Their clothing, however, was something to marvel at. Most of them wore blankets or even pieces of burlap sacking, while others were protected from the chill night air by llama coats such as seamen use on night watches. I-OBERLIN - • " I L. V.

I^STe6LTQt)«-» MAKE DEPRESSED PARK OF OLD CANAL Lower Bed of Stream and Remove Old Lock Walls to Pre vent Floods Within a few weeks the old Penn sylvania canal, Steelton's worst eye sore and greatest menace to health, will be transformed into a smoothly flowing stream of clear water and its banks will be converted Into a beau tiful depressed parkway. Already work on the plan suggested by E. C. Henderson, chairman of the highway committee of council, for bringing about these changes, has been started, and, under the direction of Chairman Henderson and Highway (fjmmissioner Jacob G. Meshey, is progressing rapidly. Borough engineers have run lines to do away with some of the short curves In the stream and the Penn sylvania Steel Company has had the weeds removed from the hanks, and the old lock walls near the borough line have been torn out to allow the water to overflow into the river. A large force of men and a big steam dredge is now working to lower the bed of the canal so that the current will be stronger and the chances of overflowing into the cellars along Front street fewer. Democratic Organization Meeting Is a Frost Another effort to heal the split in the local Democracy was made last evening when County Ch-tlrman Moes leln and other "big guns" from Har rlßburg made an unsuccessful effort to Instill some enthusiasm into the disgusted Democratic workers here. The meeting was called for the purpose of appointing a committee of one hundred to "manage" the campaign here. But according to the Patriot this morning only fifty-nine voters could be induced to attend, although valiant efforts had been made to get all the "workers" out and the meeting had been well adver tised. The meeting attracted atten tion by the conspicuous absence of some of the most active Democrats • of former campaigns. Although the local machine has been well "oiled" with the favorite McCormick brand of "oil," it won't run. Local Democrats aren't trying to hide the split In the ranks. They are disgusted with the withdrawal of Saussman and Schaffner, their legis lative candidates, and refuse to sup port the fusion candidates. Then, too. the post office sore isn't quite healed.

Will Buy Fill From Shoemaker and Son if Price Is Agreed Upon With a view to obtaining as soon as possible, at least 4,000 cubic yards of material for "nil" along the river front below Maelay street, City Com missioner M. Harvey Taylor to-day began negotiations with S. W. Shoe maker and son toward procuring that much earth. Mr. Shoemaker had offered to pro vide and unload 4.000 yards at forty five cents per yard. This Mr. Taylor considers entirely too high and the park superintendent will try to get the material for less money. Incidentally he will take up with the Centra] Iron and Steel Company the riuestion of obtaining more of the cinder and slag from the company's bank for "filling" purposes. "This filling in below Maclay street will have to be done gradually I suppose," said Commissioner Taylor. "I see no other way of solving the problem. We'll have to get it here and there, whenever and wherever we can and in time the parkway will be filled out and completed." This cinder can be had for a dollar a car load.
