ASSERT LAW COST
THEM TWO MILLIOHS
Railroads Maintain They Could
Not Affo.d to Underman
Their Trains
What the railroads consider their
strongest argument on the fight for the
repf&l of the full crew law. is that if
they undermanned their trains they
would be the heaviest sufferers.
They say: "A freight train of one
locomotive at J-5,000 and Tj cars at
.<I,OOO each would represent JIOO.OOO
in rolling stock. Is it reasonable to
assume that a railroad would jeopar
dise the safety of that great capital in
vestment to save $.'.7.-1. the wage of an
extra brakeman? Would It risk the
loss of SIOO,OOO worth of nroperty to
save $2.75?"
It is contended that railroads in
Pennsylvania and N'ew Jersey last year
paid out $-,000.000 for unnecessary
brakemen. They point out that with
that much money the railroads could
purchase 200 steel coaches, thus giv
ing a great degree of saf»ty to pas
sengers, or eighty locomotives, or 67,-
•'OO tons of new rail, or they could
block signalled 800 miles of track or
eliminate sixty-five grade crossings.

received for automobile licenses for
1915. payments having been started in
December, while oleomargarine licenses

l>aupiiin Cases. —New outbreaks of
the foot and mouth disease have been
reported to the State Livestock Sani
tary Board in the last few days from
Schuylkill and Dauphin
counties and valuable cattle will be
killed to prevent spread of the dis
ease. The Lancaster outbreaks are not
far from that city and in Schuylkill
the disease appeared near Tamaijua.
The Dauphin cases are near Millers
burg and Pillow.
To Close Case.—The Public Service
Commission will probably select a date
in April for hearing the arguments on
the objections to the proposed tele
phone rate schedule for the State, on
which testimony has been heard in the
last eighteen months. The Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce and Pittsburgh
city complaints against service will be
handled in local complaints and in
vestigations made.
Taxis Chartered. State charters
have been issued to five taxicab com
panies since the first of the year and
applications are now pending for sev
eral others. There were less than half
a dozen charters for such lines issued
last year.
Smallpox Outbreak. —Two cases of
smallpox have been reported to the
State Department of Health from
Cornplanter township. Venango coun

sea. They cannot go through this
State. ,
The State has suffered a loss run
ning into the millions by the disease,
which was brought here from the
West, and is endeavoring to stamp it
out. All shipments of cattle in tjuar-!
antined districts- inside the State are i
prohibited and all shipments into the j
State from Chicago or any place not
classed as "free" are forbidden. This'
is necessary to prevent any possible J
further spread and the State is stand- 1
ing pat on its regulations notwith-1
standing pleas of packers and ship-;
pels. New York is demanding live |
cattle and the shippers have, offered!
to send cattle through in sealed ears.
The State officials have made . the
quarantine absolute.
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore !
and Ohio railroad have given their 1
word not to ship cattle through the
State, but it was found out yesterday
that the quarantine was being vio
lated by the Erie, Nickleplate and
Lake Shore, whose lines run across
I Erie county. Cattle from Chicago
have been going from Ohio into New
York State by way of Erie, fiat against
the State quarantine.
Last night notice to stop was
given these three lines and to
day Deputy Attorney General
W. M. Hargest followed it up
by sending telegrams and letters to
presidents and directors of the three
roads that under the aet of 1913 they
<-an be made personally liable anil
subjected to fines end Imprisonment
for violation of the cattle shipment
prohibition. This is the first time
these powers have ever been invoked.
The Pennsylvania railroad alone is los
ing a thousand cars a day by obeying
the quarantine and other roads must
stop shipping across Pennsylvania.
I The State has also asked the fed
eral government not to issue permits
for shipment of cattle into or through
; Pennsylvania. Chicago cattle people
are threatening suit in T'nited States
I court, but the Keystone State is stand
; ing pat on its order.

SNOW STORM GIVES
SPRING CRUEL SLAP
[Continued from First Page.]
has fallen within the past eighteen
hours over the eastern part of the
State, and according to forecasts there
is to be no cessation of hostilities by
grim winter on approaching Spring.
One of the heaviest snow and sleet
storms of the winter has the entire
country from the Mississippi east in
its grip. The fall exceeded eight
inches in this city at noon, and In the
West snow was reported more than
one foot deep.
The snow began falling hfcre early
last evening and winter came back at
the signs of Spring with a vengeance.
Early this morning when the street
cars began operating, difficulty arose
in maintaining the schedules but at
noon the cars on of the city lines
were about on schedule, and many of
the suburban ones were only a few
minutes behind.
Both the Penns.v and the Philadel
phia and Reading trains coming into
this city were on schedule, it was an
nounced this morning.
The telegraph and telephone com
panies with branches in this city were
also among the fortunate ones and
report that no connections were broken
by the storm.
The Department of Streets and Pub-
He Improvements employed more than
123 extra men and thirty carts to clean
the streets, and the men and teams
were busy all day removing the snow
which fell during the past twelve
hours.

and after the necessary questions had
been put and answered and inscribed,
the pair were asked to raise their
hands and be sworn that they had told
the truth. Possibly they didn't under
stand the interpreter, for— the bride
and groom-elect smiled, blushed,
drew a bit closer—and gratefully
HELD hands while the oath was being
administered. Stojan's other hand and
arm were busily engaged with tiny
Anna.
When the license had been filled out
and Stojan had temporarily switched
Anna to his left arm in order to get
at his pocketbook. the pair started j
away. They believed they had been
married. Explanations were in or
der during which they said they sup
posed that the act of being sworn
while holding hands—meant the offi
cial sealing of Cupid's contract.
However the bridal couple had hop
ed to wed at once and in order not to
disappoint them Recorder Wiekersham
suggested that Alderman Murray be
called in. Because of the press of busi
ness in the recorder's own office, the
ceremony was adjourned to courtroom
No. 1.
Janitor "Jim" Robinson, who was
whistling "In the Good old Summer
time," as he swept out the courtroom,
switched his tune to the opening bars|
of the bridal march from Lohengrin
as the party entered.
Nor is even this all of the story
When Anna was asked how long she i
had been married before, she said
"Nine years!"
"How many children have you got?"
kindly inquired a court attache.
"Nine!" cheerfully smiled Airs,

MUNICIPAL LIGHT
PLANT DISCUSSED
Expert Outlines Plans Before the
Highspire Council; May Get
Current From York Haven
Plans for the installation of a mu
nicipal-owned electric light plant were
discussed at a meeting of the borough
council of Highspire last evening.
W. H. Temple, a lighting expert
from Philadelphia, who outlined a
number of plans for lighting the
streets, was retained to find out
whether or not Highspire borough
can obtain current from i'ork Haven.
Mr. Temple will take up the matter
| with officials of tlie York Haven com
pany and report at the next meeting
of council. If it is possible to obtain
current from the York Haven com
pany the borough will likely install a
substation similar to the one at Royal
ton. From this substation the current
for street lighting and for commer
cial purposes also will be distributed,
it is planned. *
The borough fathers of Highspire
have been considering a number of
plans for lighting the streets of the
town for several years. Some time
ago a municipal-owned plant was pro
posed, but no action was taken. The
demand for lighted streets has been
growing and it is likely that some ac
tion will now be taken.

McNichol Sees Penrose and Out
lines What Republicans Will
Ask in the Session
Following a conference in Washing
ton with Senator Boies Penrose on. his
way North from Florida, Senator
Jmnes P. McNichol returned horn© last
night after a two weeks' trip to Flor
ida. Senator E. IT. Vare arrived the
day before. Republican State Chair
man William E. Crow, senator from
Fayette county, who was a member of
the party that visited St. Lucie, also
participated in the conference with
the senior senator. He went direct to
Uniontown from the national capital.
It is authoritatively stated that
among other things agreed upon at
the Washington conference are the
following:
First Legislation to change th«
election laws shall not attempt to re
] strict a candidate to running upon but
| one ticket at the primaries, as a ques
tion has been raised as to the consti
tutionality of such a regulation. A bill
will be passed, however, to prohibit
the substitution of the name of any
one on any ticket after the result of
the primaries shall be announced.
Second —If the nonpartisan ballot
act shall be repealed, and this seems
probable, the repeal shall not take
effect until after the next November
election.
Third —The submission of the wom
an suffrage constitutional amendment
to the voters next November is to be
advocated and the amendment will bo
approved by the Senate without delay.
Fourth —Bills for workmen's com
pensation and the child labor legis
lation will be promptly passed.
Fifth — option is not to be con
sidered as t> political issue and the
legislators will not be Influenced cither
way by the Republican State leaders.
Sixth —The mayoralty situation in
Philadelphia is to be allowed to de
velop available candidates and no At
tempt will be made to force the candi
dacy of any aspirant at this time, with
the primaries to be held not until
September. Senator Penrose and his
associates say they will await a "crys
tallization of sentiment" before they
dei lare for any candidate fur mayor.
Seventh Senators McNichol and
Vare are declared to have reached an
understanding to work in harmony at
the mayoralty primaries, with no
agreement up to date upon any can
didate for mayor.
