RAILROADS ANSWER
TRAINMEN'S CHARGES
Officials Declare That Court of
Public Opinion Should Decide
Full Crew Benefits
President Rea. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad: President Willard, of the
Baltimore and Ohio; President Voor
hees, of the Philadelphia and Read
ing. and Chairman R. L. O'Donnel, of
the executive committee of twenty-one
associated railroads of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, answering the "Ap
peal to the Legislature" made by the
Pennsylvania legislative committee of
the trainmen's organizations, made a
statement yesterday. In part the offi
cials say:
"The railroads declare the court of
public opinion should decide what is
right in this matter, because the pub
lic is the great third party concerned.
The full crew laws, they say, force
economic waste and compel employ
ment without there being real service
for men whose jobs are. created by
edict of law,
"In their statement the trainmen's
legislative committee, urging to mind
the beneficent results of airbrakes in
preventing train wrecks and making
railroad operation safer and more eco
nomical. all of which is frankly ad
mitted. add that 'the full crew law will
have the same result.' The actual, not
the theoretical, result of railroad op
eration under full crew laws has been
a large increase in the casualty list.
This is particularly true as to the class
of accidents which the trainmen have
most emphatically asserted the laws
would prevent—lnjury to passengers
getting on and off trains."
Bull Holds Up Train;
Chases Crew to Cover
Lock Haven. Pa., Feb. 22. —An en
raged bull held up a train on the Bald
Kagle Valley railroad for live minutes
yesterday and nearly got the better of
the train crew when they attempted to
chase it from the tracks.
The locomotive was in charge of
Clinton Swartz and Joseph Schell. As
the train rounded a curve near Mill
Hall the engineer sighted a bull on
the track. Repeated shrieks of the
locomotive,whistle failed to alarm the
animals, which bellowed defiantly.
The train was stopped a few feet
from the animal and then moved
ahead slowly to shove it off the track.
The bull, however, did not give way
one inch. The crew stoned the bull",
which charged them. It got off the
track in this way and the train pro
ceeded.
President Rea Urges
Directors to Get Busy
In a letter issued yesterday to Penn
sylvania Railroad directors President
Samuel Rea says, in part:
"Pennsylvania Railroad stockholders
number some 92,000- —constituting a
great army of the most substantial
citizenship of the country. I ask you
in your own interest and for the larg
est public weal to talk to your friends
and associates, to the end that they
may clearly understand the matter
and loin you In urging directly upon
the Legislatures of- Pennsylvania and
New Jersey the Importance of repeal
ing the full crew laws at the present
sessions."

Judge Kunkel Declines to Inter
cede in David Harum Transac
tion Involving One Mare
The Dauphin county court this
morning firmly declined to intercede

D. Harum deal and hinged upon
whether or not Messrs. H. D. Koons
and Simon Stein or M. 1,. Ludwig ad
hered to the perogatlves of a horse
deal in disposing of a mare. The mat
[te was put up to the court this morn
ing by Assemblyman John C. Nissley
[who asked that an issue be framed in
I the case. Judge Kunkel handed back
the petition after hearing testimony.
Only two of the ten cases marked
for trial at February Common Pleus
to-day were reached, and at noon court
was adjourned for the day in honor
of Washington's birthday. In the
trespass suit of Mr. and .Mrs. Harry F.
Lerch against the Hummelstown and
Campbellstown trolley company a jui-y
was selected and dismissed until to
morrow by Judge McCarreil.

jgjjgj by a rommittee of
I conference held here on Saturday.
The idea of the conference is for
the Governor to name a commission
of seven, two to be senators, two to
be members and three citizens, to
make an inquiry into the manner in
\shich the consolidation of such de
partments has operated in other
States.
Action of the conference on various
ponding: bills will also be communi
cated to the Governor with comments
for his information.
Exhibit. Nearly Complete.—The big
exhibit of the State Department of
Health lor the Panama-Pacific Ex
position is partly in place at the ex
position and the remainder will bo
shipped within a few days. Every
effort is being bent to complete it and
an interesting feature showing edu
cational work is about finished. Owing
to the fact that the building in which
it is to be installed is not quite fin
ished and is not ready for the other
exhibits, the State is able to make the
exhibit still more complete. The State
College exhibit, which was in the State
Museum, has been taken out and parts
of it will probably be vised at San

Holiday On the Hill.— Capitol Hill is
enjoying an unusual holiday to-day.
I practical?- every department being
closed. Governor Brumbaugh is not
expected to return until evening and
very few of the department chiefs are

Insurance Money Coming In. —The
state insurance tax is coming in at a
lively rate just now and it is expected
that over a million dollars will be in
hand by the end of the month. Part
of this money is returned to local dis
tricts for firemen's relief funds.
Attending Convention. Superin
tendent SchaelTer and Dr. J. George
Becht. of the State Board of Edu
cation. are at Cincinnati attending the
convention of educators. The high
school inspectors and experts left last
night.
* Meet To-morrow. —The Public Serv
ice Commission officers leave to-night
for Pittsburgh, where hearings will be
held to-morrow.
Putting'in Metal.—The rooms of the
sergeants-at-arms of the two houses
are being equipped with metal shelves
to take the places of the old wooden
shelves that must be replaced every
two years.
To Look Over Simons. —State alien
ists will go to Wellsboro to examine
into the mental condition of Arthur
Simons, condemned to death for mur
der. They will report to the Board of

Council to Hear City
Planners and Light Co.
Officials About Wharf
City Council to-morrow will con
sider on second and final reading the
amended ordinance authorizing the
Harrisburg Light and Power Company
to construct a wharf on the island,
and while it is generally expected that
the measure will be passed, consid
erable interest has been manifested
because of the fact that representa
tives or tne electric company an <j
members of the City Planning Com
mission have been invited to attend.
The ordinance gives the company
the use of a plot 100 feet square for a
period of ten years with privilege of
renewal at the expiration of that time
for another ten-year period. In re
turn the company will provide tho city
with at least 1.200 tons of river coal
yearly for use ?n the filter plant. The
| City Planning Commission has pro
j '.tested against the location of the
wharf on the ground that it is not the
best place, that it will set an unsatis
factory precedent and that it will mar
the attractiveness of the river front.

FIREMEN ENDORSE
EFFICIENCY PUN
Want Better Police Protection;
Resent Nelly's Disparaging
Remarks
Members of Steelton's borough lire
patrol, at a meeting in the Baldwin
hosehouse parlors yesterday after
noon, unanimously endorsed Burgess
Fred Wigfield's efficiency police plan
now before council; discussed plans
for increasing the efficiency of the
fire patrol; condemned remarks at
tributed to Councilman T. J. Nell.v|
in a recent speech on the floor of
council: decided upon a plan of in
forming council what the firemen
think of the efficiency police plan, and
urged its adoption.
Speeches were made by various
members of the fire patrol In which
they explained the benefits to the tax
payers which will result in the adop
tion b/ council of the burgess' plan.
Several plans for increasing the ef
ficiency of the fire patrol when that
organization takes charge of the po
lice work at tires, were also discussed
and a number of improvements were
suggested.
Burgess Fred Wigiield was pres
ent by invitation and again explained
his efficiency plan to the firemen. He
said that his recommendation that
the members of the fire patrol be
sworn as special borough policemen,
was made because he believed there
were no men better able to do police
duty than the tire patrolmen. He
pointed out how successfully they
handle the crowds during the excite
ment attending a lire and declared
that he believed they would make
ideal substitutes for the regular police
men when there is a temporary va
cancy on the force.
Attention was called to the fact that
under the new plan the entire borough
would be given police protection all
the time at practically no additional
cost to the taxpayers, Inasmuch as the
regular patrolmen do not receive pay
when they are off duty.
A number of the firemen expressed
displeasure, it is said, over certain
disparaging reniarks made, by Coun
cilman Nelly, chairman of the police
committee, at the last meeting of
council. •

Anonymous Letters
Throw No New Light
on Skeleton Mystery
The worthlessness of anonymous
letters and the impossibility of any
use being made of them by the au

edge of Latin-American conditions. Mr.
Harris is director of the Census: Mr.

bilf was being framed.
The President narrowed his list of
candidates for the commission down
to six men several weeks ago and
since then has been looking into th«
qualifications of Mr. Rublee and
George L. Record, of New Jersey. He
discussed the question with Senator
Hollis, of New Hampshire to-day and
decided to name Mr. Rublee, it was
said in circles close of the Whita
House, because New Jersey already
has a number of important federal
appointments. It was understood,
however, that Mr. Record is to have
some other important post in the near
future. The President in hopeful the
commission will be confirmed during
the present session of Congress and or
ganize at once.

A WINTER TONIC
Why is it that some people keep
well all winter while others, less ex
posed to cold and damp, suffer with
colds, grip, pleurisy, pneumonia and
all the ills of the season?
Thin blood and debility are the
causes of much sickness in winter.
When the blood is thin and there is
oxygen starvation in the tissues of
the body, poisons are retained that
should be eliminated and there is a
lowered resistance to disease.
Rheumatism disappears when the
blood is built up and does not return
if the blood is kept rich.
The after-effects of grip are never
cured until the blood Is built up.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich tli®
blood and enable it to carry more oxy
gen, to nourish the starved tissues in
debility, to sooth the inflamed mem
jbranes In rheumatism, to quiet the
nerves In neuralgia and sciatica and
to expel the lingering germs after the
fever and influenza of grip have pass
ed. All winter Dr. Williams' Pink
Tills should be in every house, ready
for use. You can get them now at
the nearest drug store.
The third edition of tlic popular lit
tle book "Building Up the Blood" has
Just been published. Write to-day to
the Dr. Williams Mediclno Co., Sche
nectady, N. Y.. for a free copy.—Ad
vertisement.
