on this occasion.
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.

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,

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

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

Two large engines of the Pennsyl

in the welfare and efficiency exhibit.
Yesterday 2,183 persons by actual
count visited the latest things in toco

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

straight tracks and on heavy grades.
It is probable that before the en

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. ,

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."
The police of this city and Carlisle
have been notified and are on the
lookout for the man.

AMERICAN CRUISER
IS FIRED UPON
[Continued From First Page]
Americana have been reassuring. 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.
