In the Fayette county district and also
a candidate for the House In the First

Notice to Hunters. —Many men who
started the squirrel hunting season
having obtained the State
hunters' license and men who fall to
display the license tag on their sleeves
have been reported to the office of the
Stat Game Commission and an official
warning was issued to-day by Dr. Jo
seph Kalbfus, secretary of the State
Game Commission, that such actions
would mean arrests. "It Is just as
Important that the tag be worn as
provided by law as it is that the li
cense be secured," says Dr. Kalbfus.
"We are afraid there are some hunters
who will disregard this provision. The
State has sent plenty of the tags and
license blanks to county treasurers and
they are to be had. We want all
\Punters to understand this matter so
that they will not get into trouble."
Tank Cars Escape.—ln a decision
rendered by the Dauphin county court
to-day it is held that tank cars are a
part of the equipment necessary in the
manufacture of gasoline and therefore
exempt from State taxes. The Inde
pendent Refining Company. Ltd., con
tended that a good part of its capital
was tied up in the tank cars which
it operated in the State and that they
were an essential part of its busi
ness. The court held that the capital
invested in the cars was not taxable.

TO INSPECT IIEW WORK
111 SOUTH HUIK
General Manager Long of the P.
R. R. May Visit Harrisburg at
an Early Date
Following inspections of new work
In and about Pittsburgh, General Man
ager S. C. Long, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, will come to Harrisburg. No
official time has been announced for
the visit of General Manager Long,
but it is said the inspection of the
work in South Harrisburg will be
made within the next two weeks.
It is the opinion of local officials
that General Manager Long will stop
off in Harrisburg on his way to Ha
gcrstown to look over the new Cum
berland Valley bridge, which is near
ing completion. The bridge crosses
the Potomac river. It is a concrete
structure with steel bindings and, it
is said, is similar in architectural de
sign to that of the bridge to be erected
across the Susquehanna river here.
RAILROAD NOTES
Ivy Lee, executive assistant to the
president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, made an address last night before
the Huntingdon (Pa.) Board of Trade.
Railroad equipment men say that
not since the panic of 1903 has such
complete stagnation of the equipment
markets been witnessed.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works has
received an order for two small loco
motives, the tirst motive power order
placed in several weeks.
There is no foundation for reports
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will acquire the Buffalo and Sus
quehanna Railway Company.
While tentative plans and specifica
tions have been made for the electri.
fication of the mountain rdute of the
Pittsburgh division between Altoona
and Conemaugh. Pennsylvania Rail
road officials say the actual beginning
of work on this project is in the far
distant future.
* W. W. Atterbury, vice-president: S.
C. Long, general manager, and Elislia
Lee, general superintendent, were in
cluded in a party of Pennsylvania
Railroad officials which insnected the
new steel bridge recently completed
over the Allegheny river on the Cone
maugh division near Kiskiminetas
Junction, Pa. The bridge is one of
the largest in the State.

Democratic Revenue
Bill Will Pass Today
By Associated Press
Washington, AV. C., Oct. 17.—The
Senate will pass the Democratic rev
enue bill late to-day, conferees front
the Senate and House will meet Mon
day, the bill will be passed Tuesday
and Ilnal adjournment of Congress
will come late Tuesday or Wednesday,
according to plans laid before Presi
dent Wilson to-day by Chairman Sim
mons, of the Senate finance commit
tee.
Senator Simmons told the President
that the vote in the Senate on amend
ment for the relief of the cotton sit
uation will be close, but that it prob
ably will fail of adoption. He did not
think there would be much delay in
reaching an agreement between the
Senate and House conferees.
Republican Senators said to-day
that proposals had been made to them
to vote for the cotton bond amend
ment to the war revenue bill and
thereby insure a presidential veto of
the measure. The amendment <:a!ls
for a $25tM)00,000 issue of 4 per cent,
government bonds for the purchas-j of

HUNDREDS OF TREES
TO BE SET OUT
or Plane. For the wide street, the
Elm is more especially adapted than
any of the other varieties in the above
list.
Beautiful Trees nt Cloverly
The best street tree planting in Har
risburg is to be found at Cloverly
Heights. Here the streets are plant
ed each with one variety, thus secur
ing a beautiful uniform effect which
is sufficiently mature to show the
value of this careful handling. Belle
vue Park is another good example of
the proper selection.
The size of the tree to plant depends
much on the environment surround
ing the tree. If it is to occupy a loca
tion on a paved street with a paved
sidewalk and simply a small hole cut
in the paving for ventilation and
water, the smaller tree, 8 feet to 10
feet high, will take hold much more
quickly and grow more vigirously and
into a better tree than a larger size.
If there is a grass plot 5 feet to 6
feet wide, a larger tree may be plant
ed, say 12 feet to 14 feet high. Very
large trees up to 30 feet or 40 feet
high and 12 inches to 20 inches diam
eter, are successfully moved and at a
saving of many years of waiting, but
these are trees to be located on a lawn
or open space where the tree has
plenty of opportunity of overcoming
the shock in the securing of air ven
tilation and water to the roots.
Trees should be planted about 40
feet aplirt, this distance to vary either
way so as to make them space uni
formly within the block or property
line area.
Sehoolhouse Planting
Now is regarded as a good time to
do a lot of planting around the school
buildings of Harrisburg. An interest
ing example of sehoolhouse treatment
is that of the Webster building, where
a public-spirited citizen was respon
sible for the improvement and the ex
pense. Notwithstanding the fear of
the school officials that the' children
would not respect the planting, it is
growing more beautiful every day.

saloon of the Metapan while the naval
officers examined the ship's papers.
Later five youi\g Germans who were
bound for Colombia, and who, accord
ing to Air. Patterson, were "on board a
neutral vessel plying between neutral
ports," were "forced to sign a parole
in order to procure their liberty."
"This was an outrage committed on
American soil, under the American
flag," said Mr. Patterson, "the passen
gers of an American vessel were all
practically imprisoned by French ofr
fleers and men."
Mr. Patterson said that the captain
and practically all of the officers of
the Metapan were British subjects and
that the captain served the French
"with alacrity."
Ambassador Gerard
Endorsed by Wilson
New York, Oct. 17.—A letter from
President Wilson to James W. Gerard,
ambassador to Germany, endorsing
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, was made public here to-day
by Ambassador Gerard's campaign
committee. The President wires:
"I have been torn by conflicting de
sires in the matter of your candidacy
for the United States Senate. I have
so. deeply regretted that the govern
ment should lose your services at Ber
lin, where you have distinguished
yourself, and yet if it occurs I shall
look forward with the greatest'satis
faction to seeing you the Senate.
"This Is just a*line to congratulate
you on the judgment of the primaries
and to express my warmest good
wishes for the campafgn and my
pleasure that the prospects should be
so bright."

afternoon, so that on Monday the roof
can be placed.
Dinner was served to the workmen

copal Church by a committee of one
hundred women, who worked all

who was also a little doubtful in hie

Instead of turning the money over
to .his fellow Democrat, the man who
reecived the two five-dollar bills went
on a spree and spent the entire sum.
The second man has not yet gotten
his cash and threatens to turn.the

Senator Beidleman said the two
were in the audience and if they de
sired he would tell their names. There
was considerable urging in some quar
ters of the theater as the laughter
spread, but nobody volunteered.
Big: Meetings
The meeting at Halifax was .held
in the Halifax Theater and was large
ly attended. Charles Zimmerman, a
veteran Republican and well-known
liveryman, presided. Arthur H. Hull,
of Harrisburg, and John C. Nissley,
candidate for Assembly, were the
other speakers.
At Fisherville there was an excel
lent turnout, notwithstanding that the
Democrats regard this as one of their
strongholds. The enthusiasm for the
Pal-McCormlck • combine is not so
great there now. however, as it might
be If the Laudermilch shirt factory
had not been ftompelled to shut down
as a result of the Democratic hard
times. More than fifty people heard
the speakers, despite the fact that the
meeting was held in the open air and
that rain had been falling until an
hour before the gathering, which pre
vented several bussloads of voters
from surrounding districts from com
ing in.
C. M. Bowerman presided and intro
duced the speakers and the arrange
ments were in charge of F. Lauder
milch, the Republican county commit
teeman of that district. Senator Bei
dleman made the principal address
and was preceded by Mr. Nissley, who
made a big hit by addressing his
audience entirely in Pennsylvania
Dutch.
As usual, a few McCormick roister
ers on the outskirts of the crowd tried
to break up the meeting with cat-calls
but the crowd wanted to hear and
silenced the young disturbers before
they had gone very far. It is said they
were members of one.of McCormlck's
so-called "good government" leagues.
