WEST END AROUSED AT
PLAN FOR BRIDGE
[Continued front First Page.]
accommodate pedestrians have not
been definitely worked out.
The local officials of the Pennsv
have recommended the full width
bridge, but the management has given
no assurance that it will provide the
money, and the bridge will be entirely
useless to the public if it crosses only
the twenty-one tracks mentioned.
Attorney Benjamin I'. Umberger,
secretary of the City Planning Com
mission and a member of the West
End Improvement Association, said to
day that he did not suppose that
action by the Planniug Commission
would be necessary, although he had
not looked into that phase of the
question. He said:
"The West End Improvement Asso
catlon, I believe, had hoped for a
driveway at that point, but 1 suppose
the members will be very glad to get
even a footway. There really is no
Imperative need for a driveway just
now, but there certainly will lie soon.
Personally, I should favor the con
struction of a footway, to be merely
temporary, and that it would be put
there now with the understanding that
it is to be replaced with a permanent
driveway."
West End Is Aroused
It is probable that a meeting of the
West End Improvement Association
will be called to ascertain the wishes
of the people on the bridge question.
A year ago mass meetings were held
and the people, through the West End
Improvement Association, expressed
their wish for a subway beneath the
tracks or an overhead bridge to take
care of all traffic.
While railroad officials said to-day

STATE EDITORS TAKE
CHILD LABOR STAND

labor bills contemplated by the legis
lature.
Much discussion was engaged in this
morning regarding the effect on the
newsboys and o nthe publishers, of
the eliminating of newsboys from
work on the streets for a few hours
a day. The opinions of members fav
ored the child labor bills, insofar as
they do not cut off children from sell
ing papers, running errands or doing
trivial jobs outside school hours.
Not Direct Employes
A written brief stating the definite
position to the Governor was prepared
by the legislative committee of the as
sociation. The position was taken
thai newsboys are not to be regarded
as direct employes of the publishers
but as individuals doing a business on
their own account.
More than 100 men are registered
for the sessions whicj) are being held
jointly by the three associations. This
morning E. R. Stoll, manager of the
Pittsburgh Publishers' Association,
read a paper on "Getting Together,"
telling the experiences of the papers
of this city. "What Ohio has Accom
plished," was read this afternoon by
C. H. Spencer, secretary of the "Ohio
Daily Select List," before the separate
session of the Associated Dailies.
Governor to Speak
Reservations for the banquet at the
Bolton House at 8 o'clock to-night
have reached the capacity of the din
ing room. Among the guests who will
speak are Governor Brumbaugh. Lieu
tenant-Governor McClain and the Rt.
Rev. J. H. Darlington, bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Harrisburg.
At the business sessions this after
noon the suggestion was made that
the Associated Dailies have an east
and west branch, with headquarters at
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The as
sociation now numbers about eighty
members, including all papers of Pitts
burgh. all but two of Philadelphia and
nt least one from each important city
in the state.
Election of officers will be held to
morrow. It is expected that the presi
dent of the Associated Dailies of Penn

suffering. The motorcycle carries the
minister of the gospel in his missions
of mercy. The motorcycle is a part o*

carrying mounted officers to the scene
of crime or accident, and enablinj
them to run down violators of the law.
The motorcycle aids the forest ranger
in protecting our great timber lands

every second counts in tlie effort to

And the uses of the motorcycle in

LIFT UP YOUR HAIR
TJie new style of lifting the hair
from the ears looks much nicer If
the hair is soft so it drapes around
the ears rather than being pulled up
in straight, hard lines. To get the
best effect in any style of hairdress
ing, every strand must be fluffy, lus
trous and, of course, clean. In wash
ing the hair it is not advisable to use
a makeshift, but always use a prepar

can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by get

than It Is. Its luster and softness will

Discuss Improved sanitary con
ditions in foreign section.
Some startling disclosures concern
ing the conduct of Steelton's borough
water department were made by the
borough auditors to Steelton council
last evening.
The auditors. David J. Bechtold, Eu
gene F. Seal and Oscar C. Nace, sent a
letter in which they demanded that
some reforms be Inaugurated Imme
diately in the water department.
This department, the auditors de
clared, has been carrying on a sale of
meters and other supplies to consum
ers for years. This business is con
ducted in such a manner, it was said,
that there is no way of telling what
becomes of the money. The auditors
were evidently at a loss to understand
why council allowed such business
methods and demanded that a careful
system of checking and accounting be
instituted at once.
The auditors further exposed the
"delinquent water list" and hinted
that someone was negligent in allow
ing hundreds of dollars of the tax
payers' money to remain uncollected
for years.
Unpaid, or "delinquent," water bills
during 1913 alone amounted to
.$983.86, the auditors declared. Since
November 1, 1908, delinquent bills
amounted to an additional $908,75.
This brings the total amount of un
paid water bills up to something less
than $2,000.
"We believe the majority of these
bills are collectible and would sug
gest that council take steps toward
collecting the same," the auditors de
clared.
Council Is Shocked
That the borough auditors should
expose such conditions semed to
shock the borough council so greatly
that few of the members could gather
their wits together in time to take any
action.
Mr. Nelley, of the First ward, was
the first to recover from the surprise
and rose to ask the chair what right
the auditors had to question council's
methods. No one answered.
Finally council dodged responsi
bility by requesting the borough sec
retary to have the water board take
up the auditors' letter and act upon it.
This unprecedented action of the
borough auditors has created a furore
in Steelton politics and everyone is
wondering why the reforms were de
manded without first arranging things
so that there would be no publicity.
Slaughter Police Plan
After council recovered from the
jolt handed It by the auditors it pro
ceeded to kill Burgess Fred Wigfleld's
efficiency police plan, as had been ex
pected. Mr. Nelly in a rambling
speech quoted figures which, he said,
showed that the tax rate would soon
have to be increased if expenditures
were not reduced.
Although he probably didn't Intend
to do so, Mr. Nelly showed by his
figures that, with increased pay and
better working conditions, the police
department is less efficient now than
it was in 1913. In that year, he said,
the police brought eighty-two cases
before Burgess McEntee, while last
year all they brought before Burgess
Wigfield was forty-six. Mr. Nelly did
not mention the recent actions of the
borough fire patrol in reference to a
former speech in council. In conclud
ing his speech he moved that the
efficiency plan be laid on the table.
There was not a dissenting vote.
Call Special Meeting
Council, after receiving a petition
against paving Conestoga street, de
cided to discuss paving projects thor
oughly at a special meeting next Mon
day evening. The paving of Elm and
Swatara streets will be discussed then.
Mr. Capella asked council to co
operate with the foreigners in the
upper West Side so that they may se
cure better sanitary conditions. He
told council that the Rev. George
Popovich had spoken of sanitation
from the pulpit of the Bulgarian Or
thodox Church recently.
A committee from the Steelton Mer
chants' Association asked council to
revise the present venders license or
dinance. Doula and B. F.
McXear, Jr. .spokesmen for the com
mittee, pointed out that Harrisburg's
annual license fee is SIOO, while in
Steelton It Is only $5. Mr. Shelley, of
the ordinance committee, was instruct
ed to meet with the Merchants' Asso
ciation in time to report on a new
license measure before next Monday's
meeting.
Want Un<l for Gardens
The Steelton Civic Club sent a let
ter to council informing it that the
club contemplates asking the owners
of unused ground in the borough to
permit the Civic Club to give out the
land for cultivation to needy people.
The club also asked council to plow
the ground and furnish fertilizer from
I the firehouses. No action was taken
on the letter except to grant the club
the fertilizer provided the club re
moves it from the firehouses. The
Civic Club declared many people were
in straitened circumstances.
After council resumed Its smoothly
running way and shortly before ad
journment Mr. Relsv-h threw the men
bers Into another furore by demand,
ing to know why the traffic ordinance
recently passed on first reading was
not brought up for final action. This
ordinance, it seems, was doomed to- die
because it was introduced at the re
quest of Burgess WigfleJld. Most every
one thought that even the funeral was
over, but Mr. Reisch was obdurate.
Finally someone brought out the old
excuse that the ordinance had been
referred back to the borough solicitor.
"So It was: so it was." mumbled one
of the councilman, "about four months
ago." Then Mr. Reisch was told that
the ordinance would be resurrected
before next month.
