Tyson Kratz Says That He Has

l'he Rev. Dr. H. W. Tope, one of

■deadly blow because of his training

sixteen saloons out of business and Is a
temperance worker along crusading
lines. He Is the man who demanded
a square deal at the conference here
last Thursday.
Here Is what Mr. Kratz wrote:

Pennsylvania Railroad Company In
charge of operating, traffic, financial,
real estate and other departments re
tired because they will hereafter per
form these duties for the lessee com
pany. 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. It is understood the
election of Mr. Jenkins as a vice
president was very pleasing to Balti
more interests in the company.
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.

the State the fact that when 'both can
didates are for our cause, neither
should be endorsed. 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.

will reap the whirlwind.

this folly, learn wisdom in the future.

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.
Stock Increase.—The Nassau Mills
corporation, of Philadelphia, to-day
filed notice of increase of its stock
from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO.
Bakeshop Standards.—The State In
dustrial Board yesterday afternoon
adopted standards of sanitation for
bakeshops. There will be a public
hearing on the drafts next month.

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.

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.
To Place Light in 13th

arrives the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company will begin the erec
tion of the new' five-light cluster
standard that is to be placed at the
Intersection of Front street and the

proach.

Hole in Front Street
Repair work on the dangerous de
pression in Front street near Division
caused by the sinking of the asphalt
