County Treasurer Sits Up Nights to Take Care of Late
Rush For Credentials
F. P. Stine, of near Millersburg, is,
literally spo'.iklng, one tof Dauphin
county's mightiest huntsmen; figura
tively, he follows the chase In a com
paratively small way.
These truths were developed in the
County Treasurer's office this morning
when the mail brought in Mr. Stine's
application for a hunter's license. He
is 56 years old and has been a noted
hunter for years. So much for the
literal end of this tale.

Harrisburg Merchants Will Con
duct Business Along Sim
ilar Lines
Directors of the Merchants Ice Com
pany, of Harrisburg, returned from
Reading last night, where they made a
thorough inspection of the Reading
Merchants company plant and in
quired into its business methods and
results.
Harrisburg directors while in Read
ing were guests of the York Manu
facturing Company, of York, which
operates the plant in that city. Har
risburg visitors were met by the stock
holders of the Merchants Ice Company
of Reading, including John A. Hin
nershitz, president, Daniel Heffner,
William Irwing, F. A. Horner and
Oliver Lentz.
The engine room at the Reading
plant was first inspected. Here the
visitqrs were shown three York ver
tical single-acting ammonia com
pressors. The freezing tank room was
next visited, where 1,400 300-pound
cans are used in making ice required
for this plant. It takes forty-eight
hours for one 300-pound cake to
freeze. The can is submerged in brine
having a temperature of about 14 de
grees.
The Harrisburgers were then shown
the large distilling room, where a
filtration plant is operated, assuring
pure water and ice. The tour was
completed with an inspection of the
boiler room, where two 150-horse
power boilers are operated.
It was explained to the Harrisburg
visitors that provision has been made
In the Reading plant for the storage
of 10,000 tons of ice which is mado
during the winter. .
At Reading ice is sold at the fac
tory platform for per ton to stock
holders only. A great many small ice
dealers are stockholders and are get
ting their ice for $2 per ton and can
afford to deliver it to the housewife
at a reasonable figure. Pieces cut to
be sold in Reading for 5 cents are said
to compare in size to pieces ordinarily
retailed in Harrisburg for 15 cents.
It was announced on the return
of the Harrisburgers that the Mer
chants company of Harrisburg will do
business along lines similar to that of
the Reeding company.

Cobb Calls Reports of
German Atrocities Untrue
Irvin S. foiil), the noto.i American
newspaperman and author, has united

Democratic Campaign
Fund of $210,000 For
Watchers' Pay Alone
Democratic and Washington party
workers in this city and county are
wondering who are to be the lucky
six to be named as watchers in each
of the election districts in behalf of
the "campaign of righteousness" be
ing waged by Vance C. McCormlck.
According to the rumors there are
to be three Democratic watchers and
three Bull Moose watchers for Mc-
Cormlck each of the 7,000 election
districts in the State. These men will
not work for glory and as the tariffs
"in the statements tiled for the Demo
cratic campaign were about $5 per
man it is evident that there is going
to be some campaign funjj.
If this is correct it will mean that
about $210,000, assuming that there
will be six watchers to a precinct, is
to be provided for "watching" alone.

GEOttW. SEYMOUR
MAY BE MINTED
TO SUCCEED MURPHY
First Ward Man Policeman Proba
bility When Dismissed
Officer Resigns
While it had been generally con
ceded in municipal circles ever since
Tuesday that Andrew E. Murphy, dis
missed as a city patrolman for insub
ordination, conduct unbecoming an
officer, etc., would submit his resigna
tion to Mayor John K. Royal, gossip's
tongue in the city offices was busv to
day with the name of George W. Sey
mour, 1070 South Cameron street, as
Murphy's successor.
The probability of Seymour's ap
pointment would not be confirmed or
even discussed by the City Commis
sioners, but it is said on good author
ity that the First Warder is to get the
place at Tuesday's session of City
[Council. It is generally conceded that
Jacob Kinley, nominated by Mayor
Royal to fill Murphy's position, will
not be confirmed by Council.
Action on the dismissal of Murphy
and the appointment of his succes
sor was postponed for a week at last
Tuesday's meeting. It is expected that
jthe place will be filled at the next
meeting in order not to deprive Har
rlsburg's taxpayers of the services of a
policeman.
Seymour is well-known in the lower
end, where he has lived for years. He
had been employed at the Central Iron
and Steel Company's plant.
King Nicholas Gives
Views of Great War
By Associated Press
Rome, Oct. 15, 4 A. M.—The Gazetta
del Popo, a Turin newspaper, having
asked King Nicholas of Montenegro
to give his views regarding the war,
received an answer from General Mar
tinovitch, who, in the name of the
king, replied as follows:
"This terrible war is the revenge—
attempted throughout a century,
which sometime, we hope, will be
strictly defined—of oppressed nation
alities against the nefarious work of
this great struggle. The nationalities
supported by the triple entente did
not provoke the sanguinary struggle
which was imposed upon them by the
reactionary spirit of the German
world, wishing definitely to consolidate
its own reign on the sufferings of the
weak in contempt of international law.
"The Italian government," he con
tinued. "will be able to choose the
moment favorable to take such new
decisions as are claimed by Italian in
terests."
He ended by saying he hoped that
Italy, besides rejoining her children
still outside her kingdom, would help
the Slav nationalities in the Balkans
to take the place due them on the
steps of the altar where justice is law.

Several Ships in Waterway Have
Been Unable to Complete
Their Pasiage
EXAMINATION BEING MADE
Reports Indicate That Earth Move
ments Occurred on Both
Sides of Channel
Panama, Oct. 15. A serious land
slide In the Culebra cut at a late hour
last night Interrupted completely all
traffic through the Panama Canal. Sev
eral ships in the canal have been un- i
able to complete their passage.
The reports indicate that there were I
earth movements on both sides into the I
channel from the slopes of Gold and !
Contractors Hills, which are virtually i
opposite each other.
Colonel Goethals and other officials |
are making extensive examinations this
morning.
It is said traffic through the canal
probably will be interrupted for some
time.
Washington. D. C., Oct. 15. News of
the landslide into Culebra Cut caused
no alarm at the Isthmian Canal Com
mission offices. While regretting the
temporary closure of the canal, the of
ficials say this slide will have its com
pensations from an engineering point
of view, because it will hasten the final
subsidence of the mobile material In
the cut, thereby insuring the perma
nence of the waterway.
No official report on the slide had
reached the commission to-day. It was
recalled, however, that in almost every
reference to the Culebra Cut operations
Colonel Goethals had pointed out that
the earth had not reached a state of
equilibrium artd that probably it would
be necessary to continue dredging op
erations there for many months after
the waterway was opened.

The immense superiority of history
as a means of culture is everywhere
conceded. A knowledge of what man
has been and what he has accom
plished in the past ages is indispens
able to an understanding of the world
to-day. The solution of many of the
problems of the twentieth century is
rendered easier by a familiarity with
the problems that have confronted our
ancestors. Some they settled for them
selves and some they have passed on
to us. Darned's History of the World
unfolds the life of mankind for sev
enty centuries. By its remarkable
brevity, its wonderful clearness of
narrative and its altogether unique
method of treatment —It presents a
work- that has no equal. Its distri

pose in 1881 he started the school, of
which he is now principal, in a rude

Railroads May Carry
Gifts Free of Charge
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C„ Oct. 15. Ameri
can railroads may transport free of
charge, if they decide to do so, gifts
made by the children of the United
States for presentation on Christmas
Day to the children matfe orphans by
■the European war. This ruling: was
announced by the Inter-State Commerce
Commission to-day In connection with
the plans of American newspapers to
send a "Christmas ship" abroad.
The commission said:
"Section 22 of the act to regulate
commerce provides that nothing in the
act shall prevent carriage of property
free or at reduced rates for charitable
purposes. Railroad companies are
therefore authorized by law to trans
port without charge property for chari
table purposes and the commission
thinks that shipments of articles col
lected for gratuitous distribution to
orphans of the war in Europe or to
those suffering from, or made destitute
as a result thereof, would fall within
the terms of charity."
The commission made it clear that
free transportation of such articles was
entirely discretionary with the rail
roads.
