GEfili 1Y YET SI THEMSELVES [Continued From First Page] the field, will likely continue to over shadow all other war areas for some day's to come. Even the London press is devoting more space to the battles there than to the conflict in Flanders. This partly is due, of course, to the fact that there has been so little Change in the western situation, con ditions which may persist until some sharp turn occurs in the eastern struggle. Throughout Belgium the Germans are remaining, generally speaking, on the defensive and immediate signs of a renewal of attempts to hack their way to the French coast are lacking. Some dispatches say the Germans already have begun to fall back from | their rear entrenchments, but as the official statements make no mention of this it is assumed it is only a guess j of correspondents working on the the- : ory that the Bussian success has been i overwhelming and final. King George's visit to France seems ! greatly to appeal to the popular imag- I ination? The newspapers are featur ing His Majesty's trip, pointing out that it is the first time a reigning Brit ish monarch has been with his armies on the field for 171 years, George II j being the last predecessor to do so. TO EXCITE FREIGHT . DEPOT SITE APRIL 1 [Continued From First Page] mately 50,000 cubic yards of material j will have to lie removed. Incidentally: It has been pointed out that another i chance to secure ample material for | the completion of the treatment of | the city's Biver Front will be available for City Commissioner M. Harvey Tay lor, Superintendent of Parks. In addition to the 50,000 yards of excavation, the job will include about 2,000 feet of sewer piping and approx- I imately 2,500 feet of concrete. The concrete will be used in the construc tion of a retaining wall to extend from the subway abutment on the east side of Second street along Mulberry street. This wall will support the tracks out to the yards beyond Third street. Be sides the placing of additional sewer ing, another important pipe change will be the removal of the 16-inch gas main controlled by the Ilarrlsburg Gas Company from Meadow Lane to Mulberry and Second streets. Just when the contract will be awarded Is a matter of conjecture, but it is understood the requirement that April 1 shall mark the completion of the job means an early settlement of the award. With the steam shovels in operation the excavations can be pro ceeded with right through the winter, even during snow falls, provided haul ing is possible. All told about forty contractors have put in their bids for the work. J. n. HAIUMMAIV DEAD ■Washington, D. C„ Dec. 1. J. Bor • den Harriman, of New York, died here to-day after a lingering illness.

All brand It as a scheme of the administration to blame the results of the low tariff on the war. Delays on the part of the govern ment in getting tho stamps to Harris burg added to the troubles of tho col lectors. Many businessmen need stamps of certain denominations and many were told they must wait until to-morrow. In the meantime they 1 take chances of arrest If tl}ey sell j goods without the stamp. Too Few Stamp* On Hand At the office of William S. Bricker. j deputy revenue collector, no docu- j mentary stamps were sold. These stamps were turned over to the banks. Ballroad companies, express compa nies and business and manufacturing firms making shipments had great dif ficulty In getting the necessary stamps to do business. According to Deputy Collector Bricker, everything will bo moving with regularity by to-morrow. Business handled at the Federal building was mostly for druggists, cigar men, brewers and liquor dealers and manufacturers. In addition to taking care of the stamp sales, hun dreds of telephone calls were an swered. None of the local collectors have the assistance of clerks and at times the line of stamp purchasers reached through the office doors to the corridors. Boer Stamps Here On Time Until the arrival of the new beer stamps this morning it was feared that the local brewers would have to shut down until stamps arrived. Deputy 1 'ollector Bricker wns in his office until 2 o'clock this morning arranging the various denominations of stamps for prompt handling. Stamps sold at the Federal building to-day varied from one-eighth of a' cent to 23 cents each, with the excep tion of a half-dozen fractional series of stamps, which have been delayed in delivery. The war tax in effect to-day effects men. women and children. Toilet soaps, cosmetics, chewing gum and the five and ten cent package of candy is included. All legal papers issued, contracts, Insurance papers, certifi cates of physicians and surgeons issued in damage suits are effective; even boxes of majiches when sold in cer tain sized packages are subject to a stamp. Shippers pay the war tax on all freight and express shipments. Railroad companies must pay for the stamps on railroad tickets, sleeping car and parlor car tickets.

One eighth of a cent for each five cents in value. This includes all patent medi cines. Cheming gum or substitutes, upon each box valued at one dollar, four cents. It Will Cost Yoa More to Phone Under the Afew Democratic Tax As for the tax on telephone mes sages, S. B. Watts, local manager of The Bell Telephone Company of Penn sylvania, when seen this morning, told Mow the Bell Telephone Company has prepared to collect the tax as directed by the government. "The preparations for the collection of the one cent tax on all messages of 15 cents or over has been a big job for the Telephone Company," said Mr. Watts. "A special piece of mechan ism had to be devised and placed on many coin box telephones. This meant changing thousands of coin box tele phones In the system, a tremendous job in itself. The tax of one cent is to be inserted as directed by the op erator in the quarter slot of the coin box by the person who sends the mes sage. "Special preparations for billing regular subscribers correctly for the tax Imposed on their messages of 15 cents and over also had to be made. New collection routines had to be pre pared and new systems of accounting worked out. The company has advised all telephone users of the new law and the methods put Into effect for collect ing the tax. Notices giving full direc tions have been placed on all public telephones and all subscribers have been advised by means of a circular enclosed with their monthly bills. This circular explains the method of mak ing the charge for the tax and gives a digest of the law relating to It. "The "law applies not only to all messages on which the rate is 15 cents or more per message, but also to all messages on which the total charge, including overtime, amounts to 15 cents or more. Thus, while a single call at the rate of 5 cents bears no tax. should the conversation be pro longed over a period which would make the aggregate charge 15 cents or more, the tax of one cent is imposed. All telephone bills rendered during the life of this law will Include a toll service statement that will show those messages on which the tax is to be levied, together with the amount of such tax. The law directs that this tax shall bo collected from the person paying for such message or conver sation and places the responsibility for collection upon the company."

The testimony of Clinton Reigle, Bertram 11, Spcas, underlceepers of'the prison, and C. F. Wilharm, a forger, and George Metz, serving a sentence for attempted forgery, both of whom were "runners" on the famous Tier "F," as tho "murderer's row" is offi cially known, occupied most of to-day's session of the preliminary inquiry in to the question of Smith's sanity be fore Additional Law Judge McCar rail- Always in the Chair's Shadow Upon the twelve jurors who are hearing the case will depend the fate of Smith's chances on the murder charge. Should he be judged legally insane then he may be confined to an asylum for the criminal insane until such time as he be cured. At that he will always be in the chair's shadow; once cured he may be tried •gain for murder. Should the jury declare him sane the trial of the main issue—the ques tion of whether or not Smith Hilled his aged grandfather, John E. Bush—will be proceeded with.
