Fox Hunting Under
Ban of State's Live-
Stock Sanitary Board
Fox hunting, the great winter sport
<>f Delaware, Chester and other coun
ties in vicinity of Philadelphia has
been put under the ban of the State.
The State Livestock Sanitary Hoard,
which has plenary powers to prevent
spread of disease, has issued an or
der which prohibits hunting in every
county under quarantine for foot and
mouth disease. The board stopped
movement of cattle over highways in
quarantined counties weeks ago and
permits cattle to come into the State
for immediate slaughter only.
When the news of the order be
anie known to-day the officials at the
office of the board said that the order
was issued to stop hunting of all kinds
because dogs were liable to run
through a farm yard where cattle were
quarantined and that in hunting
;>orses might follow and infection be
spread. When it was asked if this
ivould put a stop to fox .hunting it was
mid that it would and that the State
would have to enforce tho order.

THURSDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 17, 1914
GEBMUBS BELIEVED TO i
! HIVE STREWN MINES,
Trawlers Are Now Busy Sweeping'
Seas For Explosive Endan
gering Vessels
By Associated Press
London, Dec. 17, 10.36 a. m.—The
crippling of telephone and telegraph
wires by the bombardment yesterday
of three ports on the east coast of
England by German cruisers, together
| with the precautions thrown about
j these towns by the police and the mili
jtary authorities made it impossible,
' even to-day, more than twenty-four
hours after the shelling of Scarbor
ough, the Hartlepools and Whitby, to
obtain more than an approximate es
timate of the civilian dead and
wounded.
j According to the best reports avail
able this forenoon, between 37 and 47
persons met their death in the Hartle
pools, while betwen 150 and IGO were
wounded. At Scarborough 17 dead
and 30 wounded was the toll. Both
official and unofficial estimates place
the Whitby casualties at two dead and
two wounded. Of the Hartlepool
casualties seven of the dead were sol
diers, while of the wounded fourteen
men blonged to the military. The
maximum of wounded is close on to
150 persons. This does not include
the slightly wounded civilians who
bandaged their own hurts and left
■ town on the first trains.
| * According to an official statement
given out to-day a total of 55 persons
met their deaths in the Hartlepools,
• while 115 were wounded."
England Is Astir
I Bristling with wrath and resentment
'at this attack on unfortified towns,
I England is astir to-day as never be
i fore since war was declared. Al
though to the British mind a raid of
(London seems remote, yesterday's
j episode drove home the realities "of
I war as nothing else could. Arrangc
jinents have been made at Deal and
j Dover to expedite the removal of the
civilian population in case of an at-
Itack.
I Through wireless telegraphy Berlin
promptly heard of the outcome of this
I visit of German cruisers to the Eng
lish coast, and this morning a wireless
j message from the German capital,
! picked up here, repeated details ol
the attack as printed by British news
papers yesterday. Nothing has been
added from German official sources.
Steaming at high speed the German
11aiders, barring mishap, should have
' reached their advance naval base off
Helgoland somt time after after mid
| night last night, their trip requiring
[about fifteen hours. Thirty hours out
of port on such a venture in mine
j laden water Is a feat English papers
do not belittle, and in his heart every
Englishman hopes that it will be es
sayed again, and if necessary again,
until the call is paid once too often.
. It is presume that behind them the
German cruisers strewed mines, so a
fleet of trawlers is now out engaged
In the precarious task of sweeping.

foundations will be begun ifbt later

ABBOTT S CHARGES
CAUSE LITTLE STIR
Baltimore and Ohio Asks For Re
hearing of 100-strip Ticket
Decision
Neither Governor Tcner nor members
of the Public Service Commission ap
peared to be very much disturbed to-day
over the announcement of E. 51. Abbott,
I a Philadelphia lawyer, that he proposed
j to file charges against the commission
i and to prevent the confirmation of their
appointments if the Governor declined
to recall them. They declined to talk
about him and most of them smiled
when asked for a statement.
To-day Abbott saw Attorney General
Bell, In Philadelphia, about the matter,
and will decide what to do. In spite of
what he said here yesterday afternoon
the United Business Men's Association
Is not behind him, lie chairman having
announced last nlgl.t that he would not
stand for an attack on the commission.
It. & O. Wants Rehearing
j Informal application was made to the
1 Public Service Commission to-day by
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, for a rehearing on the
I 100-trlp ticket ruling. It Is contended
| that the company's commuter service Is
not remunerative and that the 100-trip
tickets are sold over a very short por- |
lion of its lines. The commission will !
consider it later in the day and also j
discuss the application of B, M. Abbott !
for a rehearing of the rate case.
11. L. Everett, of Norrlstown, in a 1
letter to the commission, declared tbat I
' the cost of a 100-trlp ticket between
I Norrlstown and Philadelphia had been
. increased more than GO per cent., and is
good for only six months Instead of
| twelve. M. X. Bailey, of Royersford,
i filed a similar complaint, saying that
I the 100-trip tickets had been increased t
I 94 per cent.
I The city of Chester and a number of
[ residents of that city to-day complain
ed to the Public Service Commission
j against a proposed increase of rates by
| the Chester Water Company.
The city of Scranton and the Scranton ]
Railways Company to-day furnished
the Public Service Commission with one j
of the most Interesting propositions 11 i
I has encountered In the hearing of the '
refusal of the company to accept the •
ordinance of the city council for an ex
tension of the system. The company
declines to agree to build a line with I
: the stipulation that it shall remove Us !
tracks at the demand of council. The j
company was represented by C. L. S.
Tlngley. president, and 11. B. Gill, Phila
delphia. general counsel, who raised a
question of jurisdiction. City Solicitor
I>. J. Davis and City Clerk Ellsworth
Kellcy appeared for the city. The at
torneys went into an involved legal
argument regarding jurisdiction, and
j the commission took the papers.
