EWS or THKJ \ | IDLE CHI REPORTS WILL COME MONTHLY Late Figures Bring Little En couragement For Future Freight Business; New Records Idle car reports will come each month until further notice. Railroac companies find It a hard task to lteei the public informed fortnightly as t< indications tor future prosperity. The American Railway Associatlot explains that the February 1 figure, caine from only 159 roads, operatini 1.854,150 cars, while the last dati given for November 1, 1914, came 192 roads, operating 2,20",414 cars Had reports been received from all ttv 192 roads the February total of idb. cars would have been about 277,0UU Instead of 226,641, as reported. Mor* than half the surplus was in coal cart of which 132,999 were idle, the large* number in recent years. This com pared with 67,345 idle coal cars ot. November 1 from a larger number oi roads. The boxcar surplus was 40,040. com pared with 58,162 in November, and was the smallest since December 1, 1913. Flat cars idle numbered 18,107, compared with 12,363 on November 1, the latest total being the largest for many years. The figures Indicate that the depression in freight traffic has been chiefly in the heavier commodi ties depending on activity of the steel trade and other structural lines, rather than in miscellaneous merchandise.

Pottsvillc anil Hamburg The only two other stops between Wllkes-Barrc and Reading were made at Pottsvillc and Hamburg. At Potts villc while a part of the delegation were being entertained by delegates to the convention of city, county and neighborhood merchants, in session there, another purty headed down town and in the course of their mean derings rail into the Journal othce and summoned H. I. Silliman, proprietor and manager of the bright and enter prising newspaper, out front to make a speech. Pottsvillc is just beginning to rebuild the business block burned recently and \ith characteristic en terprise is determined that the new buildings shall be superior to those destroyed. Hamburg is the Home of P. G. Diener, the Harrisburg jeweler. The Harrisburgers were at a loss to deter mine whether Diener is prouder of the town than the town is of Diener. Just because "Pete" had telephoned ahead that he and his party were coming. Hamburg turned out in force with a big bunch of automobiles and not only treated the visitors to a tour of the town but took them out into the coun try for a visit to the new State tuber culosis sanatorium. If Dr. Dixon's de partment had done nothing but create and maintain this one institution, its existence and all the money expended would have been well justified. The sanatorium is a model in every respect and nearly 500 patients are being treated there. The visitors were taken ihrough all departments, wards, cor ridors. cellars, Ice plant, dining rooms and kitchens and found them in apple pie order and clean as the proverbial new pin. The Hamburg committee was headed by W. O. lleinly, publisher of the Item and secretary of the Board of Trade; George I". Meharg. J. Ed. Mil ler and H. J. Diener. In passing it may be said that Hamburg knows how to keep its industries busy In dull times. Sinoke was pouring from every factory stack and not an idle man was to be seen on the streets. Hospitable Heading If the Germans of Germany were half as kindly and hospitable as the folks of Pennsylvania German descent, who make up the bulk of the popu lation of the city of Heading, there would have been no European war. They would have met the Frenchmen at tile border, escorted them to what ever corresponds in 'Berlin to the new Berkshire Hotel in Heading, given them a good dinner and sent them home singing the "Watch on the Rhine." Anyway that's the way the Harrlsburgers feel about It after their splendid reception there yesterday. When the train pulled into Heading the station platform was filled with a cheering delegation and badges of wel come were at once pinned to each vis itor and the entire party was taken by automobiles for a trip over the city. The trr.ln bail been -met at Hamburg by James McKenna .an attache of the Reading Chamber. They were met by a committee of prominent members of Reading's commercial organization, composed of the following: Irvin S. Brant. H. F. Towson. T.andes Miller, John Wltronn. Edward Kershner, S. M. Helms. R. S. Meek. J. Arthur Strunk, Milton Brenelser. H. .A, Baker. 11. J. Harden and Secretary Sl:errard Ewlng. The route of inspection was up Penn to Fifth to Charles Evans Cemetery, across Spring street, through the sub way to Ninth, to Penn. to City Park and over the houlevard to the Mineral Spring Hotel, where a stop was made for refreshments. From there the party proceeded to the new Penn street bridge and across the river to West Reading and Wymnlsslng, re turning to the Berkshire, where din ner was served in the grillroom at (5.30 o'clock. The Berkshire Is the hand somest and best new hotel In Penn- sylvania. The Harrlsburgers wanted to bring it along home with them. Visitors' Greeting President Henderson Gilbert deliv ered a short address, In which he out- j lined that the visit was for the pnr- ' pose of creating greater intimacy be tween the business men of the two cities and to strengthen their trade relations. He called upon President Harry J. Hayden, of the Reading Chamber, to explain the benefits of membership in a Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hayden responded with an eulogy of the bene fits to be derived by an active com mercial organization and modestly re ferred to the co-operation Reading Chamber has rendered In public mat ters and of the advantages that even tually accrue to the people from such concerted effort. A. Carson Stamm, K lav el L. Wright ■ and William Rennethum, Jr., of llar risburg. responded. A "Ceremonial Session" Coming home a "ceremonial ses- ] sion" was held in the rear car with a degree team made up of Howard C. Fry. S. S. Eberts, John S. Musser, J. H. Nixon. A. E.

Grleshaber reported that' the | concessions committee had sold $25 j worth of cigars during the trip, with which the session adjourned after | singing "Tipperary." TOO MANY WOMEN IN "SIDE ROOMS"; [Continued from First Page.] Middletown Application First pied the attention of Judges Kunkel and McCarrell throughout most of the [day, and this was followed by the Mackert and the Ecklnger complaints. No testimony was submitted on the Wlconlsco remonstrances as the sign ers stated that they merely wished to voice their opinion on the question i generally and so bring their views to [the court's attention. The other let ters were filed. I The objectton to Theodore Fry's ho -1 tel was withdrawn. It had been filed on the ground that Fry was unfit to conduct such an establishment be cause he failed to pay a bill. No. X courtroom was filled through out the day, liquor license applicants and their witnesses, remonstrants and their witnesses. representatives of churches and the No-Ucense I,engue helping to swell the attendance. Want Women Kept Out The letter from Sunbury stated that (he writer had been urged by a num ber of fellow-traveling men to urge the court not to refuse licenses but to take what steps It could to prevent the frequenting of "sldcroonis" by women. "Put some ban on the hotels which sell liquor to women and girls of im moral habits," wrote tho traveling man, "Judge. the practice hurts our business. We go to the expense of bringing patrons to tho city hotels to. look at our goods and Cor Home reason these women get our customers awa.v* from us and wncn we find them, they aro usually in some hotel with two or three women drinking.

Judge, liarrisburg is much cleaner than it. was a year ago, bui. these side rooms are the breeding places of bad women and girls." Ex-Burgess Testifies Ex-Burgess Erismun said he consid ered the licensing of the Ann Stree» Hotel unnecessary, while Samuel F. Ireley, in charge of the Samaritan Mis sion and a Middletown resident for fifty-eight years, said he was forced to take a 'round about way in going to and from his home in order Jo avoid passing the hotel in question because of the unsavory character of the men who frequented it. Counsel for White confined its ef forts to showing that while the ob jections to the conduct of the plaee may have been well founded during the regime of John A. Hare, formor owner, «riat since Mr. White had taken hold the hotel had been maintained in a proper and orderly manner. TUREE CENT FAKE DENIED Albany, X.
