Wagging of Tongues Brings Out Story of Why "Squink"
Heck Will Squink No More
A bit of kindness on the part o£
Governor John K. Tener, done for a
caddy at the Harrisburg Country Club,
became known to-day when told by
the parents of the boy, who live at

As is well known. Governor Tener
is fond of a trip around the linkr and
whenever possible he spends an after

13-YEAR-OLD BOY
WAniOERED A WEEK
ON MOUNTAIN ALONE
Edward Cole Slept in Wagon; His
Only Food Chestnuts N
and Apples
Shivery nights between a tattered
horse blanket and the hard floor of a
spring wagon, apples only for break
fast, chestnuts and apples for luncheon,
apples and chestnuts for dinner —all
that is Just a tough luck memory of
oiid long miserable week in the Wico
nlsco mountains for 13-year-old Ed
ward L. Cole now.
Edward, henceforth, will study by
day and perhaps learn a trade, and
have plenty to eat and a nice, clean
bed tQ sleep in, and perhaps—who
knows—he'll leave all that and go out
Into the world and earn a regular liv
ing and doubtless lay the roundatlons
for slippers and a fireside of his own.
That, in brief, is the cause, the
remedy and the probable effect of a
special session of juvenile court which
Additional Law Judge S. J. M. McCar
rell held yesterday afternoon, when hn
heard Cole's story as a "dependent and
neglected child" tind then decreed that
he be sent to the Glen Mills School.
A Story of Sorrow
The juvenile court records do not
contain a sorrier story of a fatherless,
motherless boy than that which was
told to Judge McCarrell. Here it is:
Up until a few weeks ago Edward
was in charge of his aged grand
mother. Mrs. Anna Cole, of Wlconisco.
The times grew so hard and Mrs.
Cole's circumstances were so reduced
that she had to let Edward shift for
himself. So Edward took to the moun
tains.
All he could get to eat were the ap
ples and chestnuts he could find, he
quietly told Judge McCarrell; at nights
he crawled into an abandoned wagon
ulong the mountain road, wrapped
himself in an old horse blanket and
watched the stars that swing over
Wiconisco mountains until he went to
sleep. Finally Samuel Miller, a store
keeper of Lykens, discovered the lad
and promptly interested himself In Ills
behalf in such a way that the case
was brought to the county authorities'
The lad's sobriquet was given him be
cause of a habit he has of squinting
his eye owing to an affliction popu
lary called "falling eyelid."
The Governor took an interest in
the youngster's case and last week
bought him a brand new suit, took him
to the Union Station In his car and
personally accompanied the caddy to
the Jefferson Hospital. And it's the
Governor who is taking care of the
operation expenses.
attention and the soecial session of
juvenile court yesterday resulted. In
cidentally Mrs. Anna Simonetti, who
tried in vain to have some of Ed's rela
tives care for him, will keep her eye
on the boy.
Knows Where His Mother Is
As to his own wanderings sans
father or mother. Edward himself
sadly told the court. For twelve years
his father's whereabouts have "been
unknown.
I'And your mother?" Ed was asked.
Oh, yes," Instantly answered the
small traveler, "I know where she Is."
Edward's mother has been dead
since he was 3 years old.

ALTOOND FOR TESTS
Pennsy Now Trying to Put Engine
on Difficult Part of the
Main Line
The stretch of the main line between
the Conemaugh yards and Altoona is
becoming one of the most important
test roads on the entire Pennsy system.
Because of the unusual grade which
marks the eastern part of the road
and the numerous curves and other
features of the mountain, travel ln the
western part of this section is declared
ideal for the purpose to which tho
Pennsylvania is now putting it.
The Pennsylvania is experimenting
with the Mallet engine the largest
ever built. If it does not prove suc
cessful on this part of the division it
is likely to be many years before it is
used for hauling main line trains.
INSPECTION OF UNIFORMS
Notice has been issued to passenger
trainmen that the annual autumn in
spection of uniforms will be held dur
ing November.
Machinist Is Retired
After 49-year Service
After forty-nine years of continuous
service with the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, B. F. Pheneger, 262
Herr street, will retire Saturday after
noon.
Mr. Pheneger was born in Lancaster
county October 4, 1844, and served
his apprenticeship as machinist with
Brau Brothers at Gordonville. For
many years he worked ln the Pennsyl
vania roundhouse. He came to Har
risburg in 1906.
To Build New Plant
For Heat Testing in
Pennsy Juniata Shops
A big plant, where the frames of
the largest locomotives may be heat
treated, will be erected as a part of
the Juniata shops within the near
future. Engineers for the company,
after exhaustive tests at the plant al
ready ln use, decided to give practi
cally all the steel entering into the
construction of a locomotive a special
heat-treatment.
The building of the new heat treat
ing plant, which will be Just twice the
size of the plant already in use, will
likely necessitate the building of a
new shop to house the bolt-making
machines, and this shop will likely be
built Just cast of the shops.
About a year ago the first heat treat
ing plant was built at Juniata, and
since that time all rods, pistons and
other parts have been heat treated.
No official announcement concern
ing the new plant has yet been made,
but it will be issued within a short
time.

Battle in Belgium Is
Far From Decision
By Associated Press
Paris, Oct. 28, 6.50 A. M.—The issue
of the battle in Belgium was appar

That the Germans had made up their
minrls to reach n decision in this part
of the theater of war was indicated
by the report that their general staff
has issued a further call for troops
from Belgium and Germany for con
centration in the vicinity of Dlxmude,
where some of the most severe fighting
In the battle of Flanders has occurred.
The gain of the allies in the region
to the south of Dlxmude as officially
announced showed that they are able,
despite the heavy and continuous can
nonading and the attacks of the Ger
man Infantry, to take the offensive
against the German contingents which
previously had succeeded In crossing
the Yser. This news was received
wltfi much satisfaction by the presi

Pennsylvania and as the man who de

President Wilson in this State, will
loom up large when it comes to the
choice of a man to head the Repub
lican column for President in 1916,"
said Mr. Hargest, and the crowd
cheered its approval.
Mr. Hargest recalled that he had
addressed i* meeting of Enhaut people
two years ago and that he had then
predicted that if the voters elevated
Wilson to the Presidency hard times
would surely follow. He said he
didn't like to pose in the light of say
ing "I told you so," but he felt that
his forecast had come all too true.
"And now, the question Is," said he,
"are we going to vote an endorsement
of Wilson by electing his candidates,
or are we going to eiect Republicans
in Pennsylvania and start the country
hack toward the prosperity we en
joyed when the Republican party was
in power at Washington?"
Squire A. W. Ellenberger, a well
known Republican, presided and in
troduced the speakers.
Phil S. Moyer was detained by legal
business in Steelton; but the big crowd
remained patiently until he arrived,
in the meantime listening to a few re

Germans Reported to
Be in Fear of Aircraft
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 28, 3.25 A. M.—The
correspondent of the Daily Mall in
Paris, gives a copy of the German or
der on avoiding aeroplanes. It says:
"According to the report of aero
"lane observers our troops are very
easy to discover in spite of their gray
uniforms, because of the density of
their formation while the French
know how to protect themselves per
fectly from aerial reconnaissance.
"During a fight our tro.ops must
make use of the narrow files among
the trees at the edges of villages and
near the shelter of houses, avoiding
mass formations. Above all absolute
stillness must be maintained in ex
posed places. At the approaches of
an aeroplane all movements should
cease and it is also necessary to avoid
all movement of batteries when aero
planes are surveying. A single man
moving will betray a battery. There
should also be no tiring for the Hash
of the gun destroys Its position to the
air squadron."

Chief Marshal Puts a Crimp in
Clever Little Democratic
Scheme
' <;!• i:l-i s.
Chief Marshal
An order issued this morning by
Joseph H. Gerdes, chief marshal of the
big firemen's parade to be held Friday
night, forestalled any attempt of local
Democrats to repeat their tactics at
the reSent firemen's parade in Har
risburg, when small boys were induced
to carry high banners endorsing the
free-trade candidates over the entire
route of the parade.
Realizing that, under present con
ditions here, it is impossible for the
free-trade candidates to get an audi
ence from the hundreds of steel work
ers thrown out of work by tariff slash
ings, the Democratic workers met last
evening* and planned to hold a "rally"
at Front and Locust streets, Friday
evening, while the firemen's parade is
in progress. In this way they schem
ed to attract the attention of the fire
men and to force them to listen to
their pleadings for the free-trade can
didates.
Out With the Schemes!
When Chief Marshal Gerdes heard of
the scheme this morning he prompt
ly put a crimp into the plans by Issu
ing the following order: "No one. but
firemen, and no campaign banners of
any description whatever will be al
lowed in the parade by orders of the
chief marshal, J. H. Gerdes."
At a meeting last evening further
details for the parade were worked
out. John Craig was elected assistant
marshal and the following route was
agreed upon: Front to Conestoga, to
Main, to Trewick, to Myers, to Front,
to Jefferson, to Third, to Bessemer, to
Daron avenue, to Lincoln, to Harris
burg, to Pine, to Second, to Chamb
ers, to Front, to Conestoga and coun
termarch to the Baldwin hose house.
Chief Marshal' Gerdes and his aids
will meet this evening in the Paxtang
Hook and Ladder rooms to make fur
ther arrangements for the parade.

ITS. STEEL GUTS
COMMON DIVIDEND
Tariff Tinkering Is Having Same
Results Elsewhere as
at Steelton
Much comment was made in Steel
ton this morning over yesterday's ac
tion of the United States Steel Cor
poration in reducing its annual divi
dend on common stock 3 per cent.,
owing to the business depression.
In vie.w of the recent retrenchments
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
this action is looked upon as having
considerable local significance. Whethei
or not it will be necessary for the
Pennsylvania Steel Company to take
steps similar to the Steel Corporation
is a matter of much interest. The
annual reports of earnings will be
made some time in January.
Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the Steel Cor
poration, issued this statement con
cerning the reduction of the dividend
on the common stock: "The decision
was made with reluctance by the board
of directors, but the members were of
the opinion that it was made necessary
by the present conditions of business
and the prospects for the Immediate

The reduction in the dividend of
Steel common will fall heavily upon
thousands of owners of the 5,083,025
shares. Many persons who have
bought this stock on margin have re
lied upon tho dividend of 5 per cent,
per annum to pay the carrying charges.
Earnings of the Steel Corporation
were very large before tariff tinkering
began, but in the first quarter of this
year they dropped $16,000,00, as com
pared with the first quarter of 1913,
and in the second quarter they de
clined $20,000,000. This falling off in
business and profits camo with the
low tariff act and before the beginning
of the European war.
