    INCREISED RATES FOR
BI9GKGE STORUGE
New Charges Now in Effect on
AD Railroads in the
East
Railroad patrons In Harrlsburg and
vicinity received notice to-day of a
change in time limit on storage bag
gage. Storage charges will be col
lected In the future on baggage left
more than twenty-four hours accord
ing to the rates of the company.
The substance of the old baggage
ruling was as follows: Articles re
ceivod between the hours of noon Sat
urday and noon Sunday were held
•without additional charge until noon
Mondav The rule also applied to le
gal holidays. The new table of storage
charges for baggage of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad is as follows: For
twenty-four hours or less, after th»
Tisual free period, 1b 10 cents; lor
each additional twenty-four hours or
less, 10 cents; maximum charge for
month. $1; each subsequent day or
fraction thereof after one month, 10
cents; maximum charge for two
months, $2. _
With the filing of tariffs for the
storage of baggage another courtesy
is lost to railroad men.

JOKES CISE TONIGHT
Wigfield Has Some Support in
Council in Effort For
Efficiency
Final action, it is believed in Steel
ton municipal circles, will be taken at
this evening's meeting of the borough
council In the case of Patrolman Clin
ton Jones, whose dismissal from the.
police force lias been recommended by
Burgess Fred Wigfield.
The report of the investigation con
ducted by the police committee, cover
ing forty-one sheets of paper, was
distributed this morning to members
of the police committee and the bor
ough solicitor, F. B. Wickersham.
What action council will take in the
case is a matter of conjecture. It is
known that Burgess Wigfield lias
strong support In council in his effort
to secure a hit of efficiency in tho
police department, and while the
friends of Patrolman Jones in council
are going to put up a stiff fight for his
retention, there will be little surprise
if council sustains the burgess.

Breaking Up Rocks Along
River Wall; Defer Plans
in Market Street Problem
Men in the employ of the Stucker
Brothers Construction Company are
engaged in breaking up some of the
large rocks along the river wall in the
vicinity of PefTer street. There are
still many of these rocks which will
probably be removed before high wa
ter makes it impossible to clean up
this section.
Some filling is necessary in order to
level tho space between the slope and
the wall at different points along the
river. As it looks now, the working
out of something like a decent plan
for the completion of the wall at
Market street will have to be postponed
until next year, although the water is
now at a stage which makes this work
comparatively easy. There is a grano
lithic walk connecting the two sections
of the steps and wharf at Paxton
street, but no walk or other provision
seems to have been designed for the
break at Market street.
George B. /Tripp, vice-president of
the Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany, states that his company, which
is one of the large river coal operat
ors, will provide a hoisting device for
the removal of its coal at the river
wharves so as to make unnecessary a
wide opening at any point. It is also
the purpose of the company to use
closed carts so that there will be no
sifting of the dirt along the paved
streets.
Park Men Can Now Get
Busy Dressing Slopes
Park Commissioner Taylor has his
work so far advanced in the southern
part of the city that it will now be
possible to employ a considerable
number of men in putting the park
and slope south of Paxton street in
shape. It is expected that the defec
tive sections of the river wall in the
neighborhood of Tuscarora street will
be completed In a day or two and
there will then be nothing to interfere
with the final treatment of the park
In that section. Many trees will also
be planted throughout the park system
from Iron alley to Maclay street.
The slope south of Market street and
between Market street and the pump
ing station is in a more or less ragged
condition and this will be remedied
without delay so that with the coming
oi Spring there may be an abundance
of matrimony vine and barberry hedge
to cover the unsightly and barren ter
race.
Nothing appears to have been de
veloped regarding the treatment of the
abrupt point above the wall in front of
the pumping station and unless pro
vision La made to prevent erosion by
the high water, considerable damage
to the beautiful plaza of the pumping
station will result.
WESTERN' LINES REINFORCED
Russia Dominates Military Situation;
Has Great Effect in light In West
By Associated Press
London, Nov. 9, 9:55 a. m.—Russia
dominates the military situation to
day. The speed with which she has
cleared the invaders from Russian
Poland must necessarily have a great
effect on tho campaigns in the other
war theater.
Persistent reports continue to reach
London that the Germans are send
ing heavy reinforcements to their
western lines. News of a contrary
nature, to the effect that the Germans
are preparing to reterta through Bel
glum, also is rife, but the experts seem
to place more credence oti the reports
of reinforcements and the coming
week is looked forward to as one of
the most crucial of the war.

t° Governor Tener

received. Please accept my thanks
for the same.
"And in return, I want to congratu
late you for the magnificent result in
Pennsylvania. I believe that the Re
publican party will be returned to full
power in 1916, and certainly the con
ditions of the country warrant all
good Republicans in earnest effort to
that end. I am more than glad at the
success of Senator Penrose, and the
result in New York was glorious."
CAPTURES HAWK ALIVE
Voting Track Hand Has Fierce Eight
in Subduinir Rig Bird
Lewistown. Pa., Nov. 9.—Stories of
the mighty hunters of ages long gone
by have been equaled by a Lewistown
youth, Fred Hayes, who captured with
his hands a mighty hawk measuring
four feet across the wings.
Fred Hayes is a son of F. A. Hayes,
Sr.. supervisor of the Sunbury and
Lewistown branch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and is employed in tile sec
tion crew of track repairmen. The
men were at work near the high
bridge, about three miles east of Lewis
town. when they saw a large bird
alight in a strip of woods near by.
Thinking that the bird was an Im
mense owl, the men decided that they
would try to capture It. Foreman
Thomas entered the woods and saw
the bird standing in a path and Haves
crept around to the rear. He got
within six feet of the bird when he
made a leap and succeeded in grasping
the bird by one leg. With a loud
squawk and beating of its great wings
tho bird tried to rise. Hayes held or»
despite the fact that the huge bird
was raining blows on his head and
shoulders with these ponderous wings.
The bird fastened its free talon into
Hayes' hair, fighting with all its
strength. Tho bird was finally sub
dued and taken to the young man's
home. A couple of months ago Hayes
captured a live blacksnake near this
same spot measuring six feet in length.
