Praises Goxcrnor's Attitude "Your Excellency, the engineers of the State have viewed with increas ing admiration, during your term as governor, your attitude toward their profession, and your efforts and ac complishments relative to matters with which engineers are concerned. We believe that the things done by you are fundamental and that there from other things will follow for our especial profit and the general wel fare of the Commonwealth. Please recall as you look from time to time u: on this testimonial of our esteem, that It represents the unanimous vote of those engineering citizens of the Commonwealth who are banded to gether from every nook and corner of the State for the purpose of promot ing the development of the hidden j treasures of the earth that were plac- j ed there by a beneficent Creator when the everlasting hills were founded and applying them through nature's! Hws for the benefit—as originally in tended —not of the few but for the benefit of all mankind. "These aims of the society have been examplified In your conduct of those public affairs to which I have referred, and It is my duty and privi lege to now hand to you this token of the highest tribute within the power of the Engineers' Society of Pennsyl vania to bestow." Discuss Child Labor Discussion of child labor legislation figured largely in the three sectional meetings into which the welfare con ference resolved itself this morning, but it was chiefly in the welfare sec tion that it received extended discus sion. These sectional meetings lasted until 1 o'clock and attracted much attention, being preliminary to the afternoon discussion of unemploy ment and mediation in general session. Paul A. Firman, of the Pennsylva nia Child Labor Association, who pre sented the views of his organization for Jasped Yates Brinton, declared that child labor legislation was the topic which should receive attention of every one In advance of the Legis lature meeting, and then proceeded to outline the following as the legisla tion which would be asked: No night work for any one under 16 years of age; a forty-eight-hour weekly limit; i physical examination, establishment of continuation schools; tifth-year edu cational test; regulation of street trades and return of employment cer tificates at expiration of employment. W. F. Long, of Pittsburgh, promptly asked if Servant girls were to be In cluded in the women to be regulated by legislation intended, to which Mr. Firman rejoined that it was a matter for those in charge of tho women's labor bill. A general discussion fol lowed. in which it was stated by sev eral persons that Investigation had shown the hours of servants ranged | from 6 to 9 per day. Commend Jackson's Work James S.

I WEDNESDAY EVENING, | cussed continuation schools and Mrs. j Sarah A. Conboy, international organ- ! | izer of the Textile Workers' Union,! told of conditions in the South andj I said that while matters in Pennsylva- j 1 nia still needed regulation, appreciable, improvement had been brought aboutj ■ by the State Department of Labor and I Industry. She commended Commis sioner Jackson and his staff. Miss Frances A. Kellor, of the North American Civic League for Imini- j grants, declared that the State should supervise immigrants from the hour they landed, and E. E. Greenawalt, a United States labor commissioner, said that Immigrants should be made ac- j quuinted with American ideals as soon as possible and that the State should get into prompt touch with them, sate- j guard them and urge study of English, j so that they can read safety signs. Talk on Fire Exits | At the same time the safety and lire sections were jointly meeting in ' the hall of the House of Representa tives, over which Ralph C. Richards, j chairman of the central safety com-j mittee, of the Chicago and Northwest- ! em Railway, presided. H. W. Forster, of the Independence Inspection Bureau, of Philadelphia, gave an interesting talk on "Fire Exits." in which he said the only safe' exit for industrial buildings more than j two stories in height are smokeproof towers or concrete or brick stair wells.! John Golden, president of the United Textile Workers of America, offered; suggestions for safety regulations in the textile industry, and Dr. F. D. Pat- i terson, director of the department of! sanitation and accident prevention,! Harrison Bros., Inc., Electric Storage j Battery Company, and the J. G. Brill Company, Philadelphia, gave a talk 11- lusrated by many pictures, of the safe ty devices In use at Brill's plant. W. P. Eales, supervising inspector of the Travelers' Insurance Company, Phila delphia, spoke on power transmission machinery, which Richard H. Guna gan, of the Fidelity and Casualty Company, of New York, discussed the topic of "Woodworking Machinery." The hygiene section, scheduled for the House caucus room, was not held, but some of the speeches were deliv ered during the general session of the conference this afternoon. I "Conference Night" "Conference night" will be observed jat the welfare and efficiency exhibit j to-night. The delegates to the confer ence will gather In Chestnut street au ditorium and listen to numerous dem onstrations and talks on safety first j devices. For this evening a special admission fee of twenty-tive cents will be charged. Delegates have been fur nished tickets. Five more exhibits were announced this morning, two of which will be wall displays. One of the exhibits to be demonstrated to-night which was installed to-day, wilt be that of the W. W. Sly Manufacturing Company, I Cleveland, introducing a new aid puri fier. Exhibitors to-day each received a carnation from the Robert Ross Jones Company, a local exhibitor. All at taches wore white carnations. Many Safety Devices An exhibit showing many safety de vices as factors in city playgrounds and on buildings in course of construc tion Is that of the New Jersey Zinc Company, of Palmerton, Pa. A min iature model of the playgrounds at Palmerton, as constructed by this com- I pany, is shown in every detail, includ ing tennis courts, basketball field, wad ing tanks, swings, ladders, sliding boards, etc. The transferring of twenty largu cannon balls from a freight wagon to the hall for the Pennsylvania Steel f'ompany was no easy task. When these balls arrived other shipments were being unloaded with the block and tackle. Search was made for a carrier, but nothing strong enough was found. A large ice cream freezer was noticed standing near by and one ball was placed in the freezer and carried jup the stairway. It worked like a charm. Twenty trips were necessary up and down stairs, but the steel balls were landed in the hall. The Hall Tuec Company, another Harrisburg enterprise, is showing a stationary vacuum cleaner for hotels, schools, office buildings and shops. In demonstrating this invention dollar bills, pennies, nickels, dimes, nails, steel washers, rags, flour and dirt of ull kinds is scattered over a carpet. The sweepers pick them all up. First Aid Probably one of the most Interest ing of the sessions was that yesterday afternoon in the hall of the House. It was on first aid and a number of sur geons gave their ideas. The first aid team of the Lackawanna Railroad showed how to bandage up a man in short order and Its demonstration at tracted much attention. Dr. Donald McCaskey, of Lancaster, in the course of his remarks on the subject, said that It did not mean fix ing up right off the bat. but careful consideration of the Injury and of the effect of the shock on the unfortunate person. In this connection he said: "We do not need to obtain an exag gerated idea of the importance of first aid in its actual meaning as a con tributory measure toward better effi ciency. We merely should keep our selves right up to the standards of the HA RRISBURG TELEGRAPH I best methods, and one of those is the . Urst aid hospital car in railroad ac cident work, as already in use on the I Pennsylvania Kailroad." The Night Scission The development of fire preventive measures in New Jersey and how dif ferent kinds of (Ire escapes had been tested out until one was found which bad proved its value was outlined by | Col. Lewis T. Bryant, commissioner of labor of New Jersey, last night. Col. Bryant also mentioned the in teresting fact that the tire loss in Berlin last year was less tkan half a million dollars and referred to the cost of fire departments in the United States and Canada costing more than 1 the amount annually lost in lires. j "The difficulty is that we do not start! I our prevention at the right place. We .should begin with the buildings," said ! he. Pictures of big tires were shown and the reasons for loss of life set forth. He strongly urged frequent fire drills. R. H. Newberne, of the Pennsyl vania railroad's insurance department, spoke on the valuable aid rendered in accident prevention by statistics, going into detail to show how casualties among certain classes of railroad men , had been reduced by studying the causes. I The safety councils of the State il lustrated what they have done toward arousing interest In safety Hrst by a series of moving pictures taken in Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, South Bethelhem and other places. School Children Learn of | Safety First Through Movies Ten thousand children of the city's schools will be taught the principals of "Safety First" through the "movies" to-day and to-morrow under the di rection of the National Safety Council. Arrangements have been made by the council to have films flashed on the screens of various moving picture houses to-day and to-morrow between the hours of 4 and 6, showing the [ dangers of street play, improper cross |ing of highways, jumping wagons, •hopping" freights and so on. Tickets have been distributed throughout the city's school buildings and every youngster In town will get an oppor tunity to see what he should and what he should not do to be on the safe side of things. The Harrisburg Civic Club will have a lisyid in the educational moving pic ture exhibit. Mrs. H. L. Hosford, chair man of the civic welfare committee of the club has arranged to have 160 educational slides thrown on the screen showing scenes in this city pointing the need for greater safety along many lines. The theaters where the films will be shown are the Colonial, Third and Market streets, where K. L. Brownell will be the lecturer; Hanshaw Theater, Third and Harris, where Dr. C. W. Price will talk; Arena Theater, Third and Delaware streets, Dr. K. B. Pat terson, speaker; National Theater, K. C. Richards, speaker. To-morrow lectures and movies will be features in the Lenny, Bender, Palace and Photoplay Theaters. D. S. Quickel Takes Away Electric Iron as Gift D. S. Quickel, 1610 State street, last evening pulled out the lucky ticket that entitled the holder to the gift of an electric Iron at the Harrisburg Light and Power Company's electrical booth last evening at the efficiency and! welfare conference exhibit in Chestnut! street auditorium. The electric company's section draws scores of interested folks, many of whom are housewives—some of years, some newlyweds and some of the rather diffident "expect-to-bes." The many electrical appliances including toasters, percolators. foot-warmers \ tea boilers, vacuum cleaners, etc., of fer many live-wire tips to the hoSse wife, but the possibility that she may be the lucky winner of a tine electric Iron is another attraction. Each night of the exhibit the chance will be there. CAMPAIGN COST *.-.,000 Mcboldnn-Hem ml nicer Kvunupllntle • Meeting* Very SuecpHMful Special to The Telegraph Columbia. Pa.. Nov. 18.

Yesterday 2,183 persons by actual count visited the latest things in toco motives at the Eight street siding of the Pennsylvania Railroad, east of the Market street subway. Many questions are being asked daily as to why these engines are so much larger than the present type and what they will be expected to do. Both engines were constructed with a viev to making time with heavy trains on straight tracks and on heavy grades. It is probable that before the en gines are sent to New York and Phila delphia, where they will e exhibited, a test will be made on both the Phila delphia and Middle divisions. Engine No. 666 will be assigned to a heavy passenger train and No. 559 will haul the longest and heaviest freight train.

Body of Murdered New York Tailor Found in Barrel Under Bridge By .Associated Press New York. Nov. 18.—The man who was murdered last night and stuffed into a barrel, carried to a lonely street under the yueensborough bridge and left there, to be found ' before the warmth had left his body, was iden tified to-day. He was Luigi Macaluso, aged 22, a tailor, who lived In that sec tion of Manhattan's East Side best known to the police as the homo of gangsters and gunmen. He himself had served a sentence for carrying a pistol and detectives seeking to unravel the mystery of his death thought it due to a feud between rival gangs.

Q^e^^ I&h3Pl MANY SLIVERS GET MIT MELTON Year Ago Yesterday That Steve Loncar Escaped After Mur dering Wife A trip to Detroit, Mich., by Joseph H. Gore, a Steelton detective, revived a discussion in the office of Squire Gardner this morning of the Loncar murder and other unsolved murder mysterle3 here in recent years. It was just one year ago yesterday that Steve Loncar, an Austrian, in a lit of drunken rage plunged a knife into the body of his wife Mary, seven teen times because she refused to leave a sick bed and go to work in the Steel ton cigar factory. A son, Tomo Loncar, who witnessed the crime, tied in terror to summon the police. He was gone less than half an hour before he returned with the police officer. In this short time, however, his father had tied to the big cinder dumps east of Steelton. Hiding in the many crevices and hol lows of the hugh waste places here Loncar managed to elude the police for weeks until, ,it is believed with the help of friends, he tied the county. Although every effort was bent by the police to apprehend him Loncar has never been captured. He hAs been reported to have been seen in Chani bersburg ami Buffalo, New York. At both placets, however, when the police Investigated he was not found. A true bill has been found against him by the county grand jury and a standing reward of SIOO has been offered for his apprehension. The ease with which Loncar es caped recalled to the mind of some of the officers in Squire Gardner's of fice the murder years ago of a man named Dengler at Oberlin. His assas sins escaped. Another man still wanted by the police is Dan Fyler. About eight years ago Fyler shot and killed his wife and her paramour, Charlie Bennett. He, too, made good his escape. He has never been heard from. Ten years ago Nace Williams, broth er of Ex-Chief of Police Henry Clay Williams, was found supposedly mur dered along the railroad tracks near the Bear Pit, a then notorious place in the West Side. No clue was ever found to his murderer or murderers. Another unsolved mystery sur rounded the death of a young man named Claude Grahm, South Third street, within a stone's throw of the police headquarters. Young Grahm returned from a Harrisburg theater. He was found the next morning with his skull fractured laying on his own back door step. Doctors revived him and he promised to tell the name of his assailant. He lapsed into uncon sciousness again however and died without ever giving a clue to the identity of his murderer. Whether or not any of these crimes will ever be solved Is doubtful. If any are, however, it will probably be the Loncar crime for the son, Tomo, now a youth of 17 years, has promised to lend every effort in his power to wards avenging his mother's death. Some day, perhaps, the father will re turn to see his son. Then justice will 'come to pass. , hMIDDLETOWA' - • TO GIVE CANTATA The choir of the Middletown Meth odist Episcopal Church will give a can tata, entitled "The Nazarene," Tuesday evening, November 24.

BAD CHECKMAN FOOLS OILLSBURG FARMERS They Come to Town With 10,000 Bushels of Apples Bought With Forged Paper P. A. Fries, supposedly of Scranton, took a trip to Diiisburg, several days ago and went to It. E. Swartz, a liv eryman of that place und hired a horse and buggy. Fries then drove around the countryside and visited the farmers and bought up all the apples he could. The farmers received in payment bad checks and orders to bring the apples to Diiisburg on Tues day, November 17, where some one would meet thom and Ret the apples. In ail about 10,000 bushels of apples were ljousht. This is the story as Mr. Swartz told it to the Telegraph over the phone: "Fries came to the livery stable and hired a horse and buggy from me. Shortly after he left and for several days he drove around to all the farm ers near here and bought apples from them. He paid for them with checks which were found to be bad. About 10,000 bushels ol' apples were bought and $5,000 worth of bad chei ks were given for them. "The farmers were told to bring the apples to Diiisburg yesterday and all of them flocked in but no sign of Fries could be seen. He has left the place with the horse and buggy and was last seen headed for Ilarrlsburg. "He paid me s2l for the team, but tht check was no good. He also passec a check in one of the stores here amounting to $lO, but it was not good either. "The horse which he was driving is a dark bay with a white star on | his forehead. The horse weighed i abouV 1,000 pounds, medium height, high rump, full mane and tail and was hitched in old style harness which was marked with the letters "S." The | buggy had a top with curtains and is i painted black with red running gear. "Fries is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs, 150 pounds, rather well built', with a red' face and large nose. When ! last seen he wore a black soft hat, black four-in-hand necktie, dark blue shirt and a balmacaan overcoat."

An undercurrent of uneasiness was creat ed, however, early this month when the Turkish commander at Beirut ad dressed a note to the American Consul General, which he intended for the information of the French and British governments, declaring that for every Mussulman killed in a bombardment of any unfortified port, three British or French subjects would be put to death, and added that he could not take the >-«:sponsibi!ity for any uprising against Christians which might follow such an event. It was pointed ou£ at the time that bombardment of any open and unfor tified towns was unlikely, as it is pro hibited by The Hague convention. Those Turkish officials who remain at the embassy here were confident that If the Tennessee had been fired upon It was the act of some local official, which would quickly be taken up by the Constantinople government. Fur ther than calling for inquiries from other American officials in the vicin ity, it appeared that Washington was awaiting further reports from the Ten nessee herself before proceeding. It became known also that England and France were asking their commanders In the Mediterranean for information of the Incident. The theory of officials here Is that Captain Decker had been ashore at Smyrna to pay his respects to Consul- General Horton and that the consul, ; who had returned the visit, was being taken back to Smyrna when the launch was fired upon. It was pointed out that In making a visit to Smyrna the ordi nary procedure for the Tennessee would I be taken to anchor outside the harbor and send a launch ashore. Another view Is that the firing may not have been | intended as an unfriendly act, but merly as a warning that the port was I closed. That Is said to be a usual form I of notifying a foreign vessel that a port |ls closed when other notification has | not been made. | As Captain Decker's report mentlon ,ed the fact that anxiety had been felt for the safety of the American consul ate at Smyrna the opinion was express led In some quarters that the launch I might have been taking a guard from the Tennessee to protect the consulate and such Americans and other foreign | era who would naturally seek asylum In that quarter.
