At the office «r the police it was stated to-dav that ordinarily there are thirty substations in the istate instead of the fivo which ;>re now on the list. The men in these Ave are co-operating with game and wardens and doing general pa trol work. Ihe substations were practically all abolished late last summer when it was found that funds were running low, and the men of Major Groome's torce have been forced to do most of their patrolling within a day's dis tance of the barracks. It was stated at the office that the prospects are inat no substations will be sent out this year until the regular legislative appropriation is made available in June. Cuban Quail Due.—The first ship ments of quail from Florida and Cuba to be used in increasing "Bob White" in Pennsylvania are expected to ar rive in a few weeks and will be dis tributed to a number of counties where there are game associations. The importation of Mexican quail has been stopped and several dozen are being held at game preserves pend ing bacteriological examinations. In the last few weeks scores of rabbits from Southern including some from the Southwest, have been liber ated in woods under supervision of sportsmen, the State having secured them from their agents in other parts of the country. Bulctin on Trees.—The State De partment of Forestry has issued a bulletin of -'OO pages on the trees of Pennsylvania. It is intended to be used either as a textbook or for gen eral information. Professor J. S. lllick, of the State Forestry Academy, is the author, and he says that the number of representatives of native trees is the same as in the original forests, but that they are diminishing and forest conservation should be en couraged. Governor Away.—Governor Brum baugh and many of the State officials are away to-day and the Capitol pre sents the normal Saturday appear ance once more. Population Jumps.—Almost 10,000 more births than deaths occurred in Bennsylvania during the month of November, according to figures on vital and mortuary statistics made public by the Bureau of Statistics of the tSate Department of Health to day. The figures, all obtained from health officers, show than in Novem ber there were 18,812 births and only 8.856 deaths. This is the highest number of births in proportion to deaths reported in a long time. Pneu monia caused more deaths in Novem ber than any other disease on the list, being held responsible for 828, or al most 10 per cent, of the total mor tality. Tuberculosis caused 711 deaths: Blight's disease, 793; cancer, 476; diphtheria, 264: typhoid fever, 123; scarlet fever, 45; measles, 36; whooping cough, 45; influenza. 38; diabetes, 83, and diarrhea, 445. There were 573 deaths in early infancy. Seventy-seven persons committed sui cide; 78 were killed in mines and 92 died from railway injuries and 563 from other forms of violence. The State's Funds. State Treas urer Robert K. Young is having his own troubles these days because of the demands being made on the State Treasury and the desire of banks and trust companies to have State de posits. The State Treasury balance has been going down and many of the inactive State depositories have been compelled to give up their deposits and naturally, having bonds put up to cover deposits, they are seeking money. The demands for current ex penses and charitable appropriations are very heavy. Watching the Funds.—State fiscal and insurance officials are watching with considerable interest the income of the State from the tax on pre miums of foreign insurance compa nies doing business in Pennsylvania to se if the war and business depres sion have caused much difference. This source of revenue amounts to about $1,750,000 annually and part of it is given to municipalities for fire men's relief funds.

The explosion occurred in a remote part of the mine when an open lamp, carried by one of the miners came in contact with a pocket of gas. The hoisting apparatus was not damaged, and when the men reached the foot of the shaft, after struggling through the darkness they were quickly hoisted to safety. Two State mine inspectors arrived before noon, and prepared to make a thorough search for the dead and the missing miners. Great crowds col lected but were kept from the shaft house by mine guards and police hur riedly brought from nearby towns.

CAR WORKS READY TO HANDLE BIG ORDERS [Continued from First Page.] steel erecting shos for assembling cars; a new paint shop, large addi tions to the construction shop, a new forge shop, several storage rooms and the addition of a new system of han dling fuel for the entire plant. When completed the plant will have a ca pacity of twenty cars a day and will employ several hundred more men. This company has just secured an order for fifteen steel tank cars for the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Product Company, of Brazil. Recently an or der of cars for the Rica la Paz Rail way, the railroad that crosses the An des mountains at an elevation of 12,- 000 feet, was shipped to South Amer ica. The Middletown company con structed all the cars for this famous road. Business Picking Up Speaking of business conditions in general, Arthur King, president of the company, in an interview last evening declared that although business was still rather slack, he believed the worst was past and that there would soon be a rapid return to former con ditions. "While operations in our plant are on a small scale now," he said. "I hope for improvement soon< This country is too large to remain long in the grip of a business depression. An ticipating a return of prosperity we have enlarged our plant and prepar ed to take advantage of prosperity when it comes. We have our exten sions practically completed." For years the principal field of the Middletown Car Company has been in South American countries. Mr. King entered this field a quarter century ago when the car trust began to ab sorb the small manufacturers through out the country. So shrewdly has he conducted his business and so success fully has he been in developing this new field that to-day, although prac tically all the small plants of the kind In the country have been absorbed by Ithe trust, the Middletown plant is a thriving, growing industry. Speaking of the movement for the development of a larger commerce with South America, Mr. King declar ed that the United States is missing its greatest opportunity In not striving harder for the development of this field. "Trouble is," said he, "a while lot of agitation since the outbreak of the Kuropean war for greater intercourse between the Americas has been with out any definite aim. Unless Ameri can capitalists change their tactics they can't expect to develop much commerce with the countries south of us. South Americans Are Shrewd "Too many Americans think that since tills war has created chaos in commerce, all we need to do is to go down to South America with a basket and hook and gather in the golden fruit. "Instead, however, they will discov er that they are dealing with a differ ent kind of people. South Americans look at trade in a different light from us. Contrary to popular belief South Americans are shrewd, progressive, l businessmen. "Why every box car and every cattle car on a number of the South Amer ican railroads is constructed entirely of steel. Our railroads haven't pro gressed that far yet. "Twenty-five years ago when the car trust began to squeeze out the little fellow I saw that if 1 wanted to survive competition I must, go out. ami develop new territory. South Amer ica seemed to offer the best field. When I made my first attempt to obtain or ders there I met a surprise. I found that only the very best was wanted. South American engineers wero very particular in their specifications and even the smallest detail had to be carefully gone over. Every bit of waste and extra cost had to be eliminated. Don't Realize Extent of Field "And my entire twenty-five years of experience in the Sontli American field has convinced me that we in Amer ica don't realize how great is the field for commerce between the Americas, nor liow progressive are the various countries there. '•Just for instance, take the North American city of Philadelphia and the South American city of Rio Do Ja neiro," said the car company president as he smiled, "Philadelphia for years has wanted a broad boulevard from City Hall to Fairmount Park. But. Philadelphia has talked and talked about the project and has done—noth ing. "Now our South American neighbor has set about and constructed not one boulevard but a number of diagonal avenues directly through the heart of the city. P.et'ore undertaking the pro ject a commission including the best architects and the best engineers in Brazil was selected and sent, to Europe to study the question. Not only did this commission build a system of ave nues superior to any city in the world but later a beautiful boulevard was constructed along the water front fac ing the bay. Here there were wide drives for carriages, another for pedes trians and still another for motors. Why T don't believe there is any city in America with more beautiful water front than Rio." Are Progressive Mr. King also pointed to the regula tions in several South American cities providing certain hours in which ve hicular traffic must cease on certain streets to allow the shoppers the right of way and vice versa, to illustrate his assertion that South Americana had exceedingly progressive ideas. That it will take American capital- ists a long time yet to create a feel ing of confidence among South Amer icans, is the opinion of the car com pany president. "You can't expect to develop this great field in a day or a year," he de clared. "Why England alone has $700,- 000,000 invested in Argentine Repub lic. And it took years to build up such investments. Now if Americans would enter the field they will have to fight for every bit of commerce they have at the end of this war." Mr. King suggested that there was considerable to be gained by both Americas if more commerce was in terchanged. "We need a lot of things that they have south of us," he said, "and there is a lot that we might sell." Expects Further Orders The present system of teaching geo graphy in the public schools of the United States was decried by the car company president. "Why when I studied in school I got the Idea that South America was inhabited by a lot of heathens and when 1 entered this business I was adversely handicapped by the ideas concerning the country I had instilled into me while in school." Asked whether his company expect ed more large South American orders in the immediate future. President King smiled and said, "Well we have our plant enlargements nearly com pleted and expect to get some orders. I believe this country is too big to suffer much longer from such a de pression as we just went through "Things are going to boom I believe and our improvements were timed in the expectation that wo would share in the natural increased business that is bound to follow this war." Mr. King also declared that the great burden of legislation recently imposed upon the industrial corpora tions of the country had considerable to do with the business depression. "Many of our so-called reformers lost sight of the fact that the per sons who must pay for every increase in the cost of production Is the con sumer—who is the working man. There has been too much experimental legislation." LEADERS SAYTTOUGH DID GOOD WORK HERE i [Continued from First Page.J will be secured on the outskirts of the city on the old Tri-State baseball grounds. Lakes. Snakes, Quakes and Fakes Under a display head on the front page the Herald prints the interviews with Harrisburg men. Crowning the story is a seven column streamer read ing: "The Exclusive llillites Having Excluded Stough, What are the Valley Dwellers Going to Do About It? Now for More Lakes, Snakes, Quakes and Fakes." The Rev. Mr. Richter, pastor of :i Reading I.utheran church was the first to come out openly against the propos ed campaign. He gave as his reasons: "I learn for myself. 1 went to Har risburg to a minister whom I am per sonally acquainted with, who was one of the leaders of the campaign. He said he would never join a movement again of this kind; that a sore was caused in the churches that it will take years to heal. Gross Defends Campaign Ex-Mayor Edward Z. Gross, chair man of the Harrisburg executive com mittee, on the other hand, defended the campaign in the statement which ,in part follows: I "Your letter of yesterday is Just at hand, and I hasten to reply because of the. absolute misrepresentation which Mr. Richter has given in your clipping as to the part a Lutheran pastor took and his attitude. In the dent of one of the largest Sunday schools in the State, Henry B. Mc- Cormick, writes: "The city of Harrisburg and a num flrst place all the Lutheran ministers, except Mr. Reisch, the minister of Christ Church, on Allison Hill, oppos ed the campaign and the pastor re ferred to by Mr. Richter preached against, it before Dr. Stough came to Harrisburg. "He was in direct opposition in every way to the whole thing. He didn't go into it and so far as 1 know didn't know anything about it. He says that a sore was caused in the churches that it will take years to heal. This only goes to show that he didn't know the true Inwardness of the thing, and so far as a sore in the churches was concerned, as executive chairman of the campaign, X don't know where it exists. One Minister Offended "On the other hand, through a mis understanding, first of all, between the churches and Mr. Cartwright, Dr. Stough's manager, as to the matter of closing churches on Sunday and Sun day schools, there was feeling between Dr. Stough and some of the ministers. That toward the end was completely covered except in the case of a Meth odist minister, who -was offended at Dr. Stough personally. So far as that conflicting <r> any way with tho gen eral work of the campaign, results show differently. "There were In all over 7,000 con verts. Our church has received, and is still receiving, members from tho effects of it to the number of over 100. All the other churches have received a like benefit, and some of them Lu theran churches, in spite of their an tagonism. At our Bethany branch and at Pine Street Church we have ample evidence of the good work. "The Rev. John Warden, at Beth any, has in hand now at least twenty two of the ShaYnrock Hose Company men, who hit the trail and have join ed tho Pine Street church. And this tiARRISBCRG TELEGRAPH is only one item in the aggregation of churches that were co-operating, namely, fifty. "I am sure anyone of the co-operat ing ministers will give you an entirely different story, and the ministers to day are co-operating together as they never co-operated before. There are less of denominational lines between them than has ever existed. "The police courts have been notably diminished, so much so as to be no ticed from time to time by the daily papers and the general complaint with the liquor men is that their business has been put 'on the bum' by the Stough campaign. This, X believe, you will hear from any of those who were directly interested, or Indirectly, in the campaign as it went on in llarrisburg. The matter is growing instead of di minishing, BO lar as interest in the churches is concerned. And lam sure Harrisburg is away ahead through the campaign." Another elder of the Pine Street Preabyterian Church and superinten ber of its churches, among them our Pine Street Presbyterian Church, have received a great inspiration aud spir itual uplift through the work of Dr. Henry W. Stough. I was one of the number who, in the beginning of Dr. Stough's campaign, questioned the wis dom of some of his methods. The cam paign was not very old before l made up my mind that Dr. Stough knew bet ter than I did how to do the great work in which he was engaged. His methods brought results. "As an example, I give the follow ing: The afternoon meetings at the tabernacle were held at the same time as our Sunday school service. Our Sunday school attendance was shot to pieceß. A certain member of our Sun day school who was opposed to the campaign told the writer that Dr. Stough had broken up our Sunday school. A few Sundays after the close of the campaign the attendance at our school (one of the largest in the city of large Sunday schools) went up to high water mark. "Our church has received many ac cessions to its membership. Including those to be admitted within the next few days I should say that the num ber of new members as a direct result of the campaign is about eighty. The Indirect influence has been great, but hard to measure. "I should say further that only one Lutheran church in the city co-operat ed in the campaign.. The Rev. S. W. Herman was bitterly opposed to it. I do not mean to say that Dr. Stough made no mistakes. I do believe that he was unfair to the ministers, and went too far in his attacks on them. Some of the methods of personal work grated on me, but. I went, to the meet ings and assisted because I bolie.vod that great. good was being accomplish ed. Dr. Mudge, pastor of Pine Street Church, and 1 agree exactly in the views which I have expressed." J. E. Dare, who purchased the local tabernacle after the close of the cam paign, has been assured by the Read ing company that they will purchase It as soon as arrangements for a site are completed. The Reading committee will pay about 54.000 for the structure. It will require about fifteen cars to haul the material from here to Reading It !s planned to start on the erection of the tabernacle about March 1. Japanese Cruiser Asama, Complete Wreck; Two U. S. Cruisers Are Standing By By .hsocialed Press San Diego, Cal., Feb. 6.—The Japa nese cruiser Asama, which struck an unchartered rock off the western coast of Lower California, is a complete wreck, according to information reaching here to-day. Two United States cruisers are reported to be standing by the vessel and two Japa nese speeding to it to assist the crew. The United States cruisers Raleigh and San Diego reached the Asama last night and the Japanese cruisers Jdz urno and Hisen wero reported early to-day to be steaming at full speed for the scene of the wreck. The Asama's officers and crew, it is said, will not. be brought into an American port, but will embark eith er aboard the Hisen or the Idzumo. An interesting question in admiralty procedure lias arisen over the wreck. Under a strict Interpretation of the neutrality laws Mexico, it is pointed out, has a right to intern the officers and men of the Asama, who landed on Mexican soil until the end of the European war. At the same time the United States warships or ships of other neutral nations may assist in tho saving of life from the wrecked Japanese cruiser, it is said, but they can render no assistance towards sal vaging the ship or her crew without violating the neutrality laws. The San Diego and Raleigh probably will stand by the Asama until the ar rival of the Japanese warships. Pope Asks Churches to Pray For World Peace Congregations of all Catholic churches of Europe are urged in a special message from Pope Bene dict. XV to attend the special peace services to-morrow in the churches to observe communion and pray for world peace. The children are es pecially asked to attend the ser-ices and give prayers. The pope has decreed that on March 21 special prayer services are to be held in all other Catholic churches except the ones in Europe. Special masses will be said and the rosary and litanies recited. »»BTe6LTOrV*I UIRGER FIDO FOR CHARITY WORK Associated Charities Board Needs More Money; Meets Monday Evening Plans for raising additional funds for the Associated Charities of Steel ton will be discussed at a meeting of the charities board in the headquar ters In the Steelton Trust building Monday evening.

STOCKS BREIK UNDER WEIGHT OF OFFERINGS Bethlehem Steel Strongest of Issues in Its Class During Past Week New oik, Feb. 6. After maintain ing: an uneven tone for the better part of the week storks broke yesterday under the weight of concerted offer inns. International Issues were weak est, the losses in that division coincid ing "vith the statement of the German admiralty regarding the marine war zone. Such prominent stocks at Cana dian Pacllic and Southern Pacific de clined to within fractions of their mini mum prices, with only partial recov ery from <hese levels. Relatively, United States Steel and the Industrial division as a whole were less affected by the liquidation, albeit Steel fell under 40. after exhibiting marked iirmness. Bethlehem Steel was strongest of the issues in its class, de spite repeated denials of any intention to place it on a dividend basis. Ameri can Sugar and Beet Sugar were weak throughout, the former approaching its minimum with a loss of almost ten points for the week. Fertilizer shares were intermittently active and strong, their rise, however, being regarded as part of the manipulation revealed in other specialties. Conditions in the steel and copper industries indicated surface improve ment, but general trade betterment continues to be of slow growth. Rail road earnings for the most part remain unsatisfactory,' there having been few favorable December statements. Specu lation in grain at new high records was viewed with some concern in financial circles. NEW YORK STOCKS Furnished by 11. M. Snavely, 208 Arcade Building. New York, Feb. 6. Open. High. Low. Clos.
