usual intensity, with heavy losses. The
figures of killed, wounded and cap
tured as given by Austrian, German

Better Carry Passports
Over Canadian Boundry
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., June 23.—While
American citizens generally are ad
vised to carry passports when they go
abroad, the State Department re
iterated to-day to many inquiries that
the Canadian authorities do not re
quire passports from Americans enter
ing Canada.
"Nevertheless," the department ad
vises. "It is deemed advisable for nat
uralized American citizens going to
Canada, particularly those born in
countries now at war with Great Brit
ain, to provide themselves with pass
ports in order to be in a position to
readily establish their identity and citi
zenship, thereby avoiding possible de-'
lays and inconvenience."

EXCURSION TRAINS
ID BE OF STEEL CARS
Pennsylvania and Reading Lines
Rushing Work in Preparation
For July Seashore Rush
July excursion trains will be made
up of all steel cars. Both the Penn
sylvania and Reading railroad com
panies are rushing orders on steel
cars.
With the exception of a few locals,
the Reading is now running solid
trains of steel cars. Three trains
leave and arrive at Harrisburg daily,
made up of all steel cars, and run to
New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic
City.
Few old-time wooden passenger
cars are being used by the Pennsyl
vania railroad. At the Altoona shops
fourteen of the steel passenger cars
are ready for delivery. These cars
will be distributed eastward and west
ward. Many will be sent to Phila
delphia for seashore travel.
During July many excursions are
run from Chicago and points west of
Pittsburgh to Atla.nt.lc City and other
resorts. These excursions start during
the first week in July. Long distance
trips are made every two weeks, on
Thursdays. During the other two
weeks, excursions will be run from
Pittsburgh. The Reading will run ex
cursions every week.
Expert Higher Rates
on Western Lines
The expectation is that the Western
roads and the express companies will
get a rate increase before long. Ac
cording to the Wells Fargo Nevada
National Bank, of San Francisco, the
Interstate Commerce Commission "has
manifested a willingness to meet them
half way at least, and so far as the
attitude of the State Railway Commis
sions is concerned, it. may be said
that there has been of late much less
antagonism shown by these bodies."

Company, appeared before State High
way Commissioner Cunningham to-day

REIGN OF TERROR
IN MEXICO BORDER
rContinued from First Page]
of at least five persons and consid
erable property loss by fire last night
in several cities of the Imperial Valley,
covering several hundred square miles,
were received here to-day_. Telephone
and telegraphic communication was
interrupted and information from the
stricken district is meager.
The greatest damage was at Calex
ico, on the Mexican border line, where
the loss of life occurred.
Early reports from there stated that
the town had been destroyed by fire,
but telephonic employes at El Centro
who talked over a wire reported that
the fires were confined to three build
ings.
Many buildings in Calexlco were
shaken down. The operators in the
telephone building fled after the first
shock, which occurred at 7.30 p. m.,
and was followed by two others, at
8.40 p. m. and 9.20 p. m.
Two shocks were reported from
Yuma, Ariz., at the same time and
San Diego and San Bernardino also
were visited by two slight shocks.
Heber, a railroad town five miles
west of El Centro, was reported de
stroyed by fire. At Imperial several
buildings were cracked and the wall
of one fell in, but no injuries resulted.
The telephone operators there also fled
from their building.
In El Centro the motion picture the
aters were emptied in a moment, men,
women and children filling the streets
while the earth was still in motion.
The first shock came at 8.05. It was
slow and prolonged. A moment later
came a short and sharp tremble. An
ensuing explosion in the warehouse of
the Delta Mercantile Company lighted
the entire countryside. A two-story
structure caved into a drug store
filled with people. All raced to the
street. Every building was disgorging
similarly. In the residence districts
cupboards and all movable furniture
was tumbled about. Slight trembles
continued most of the night.
In Mexicali a panic prevailed. Gam
blers and the women who make up a
considerable portion of the population
of the place rushed into the streets.
Piles of gold were left on gambling
tables to be rocked off and mixed up
with the debris of the buildings.
El Centro. Cal., June 23.—Late re
ports indicate that Imperial Valley
was rocked from end to end last rilght
by a series of earthquake shocks. More
than a score of persons are reported
dead. Buildings in every city in the
valley have been damaged. Calexico
suffered severely from fire. Damage
in the earthquake district is esti
mated at more than $1,000,000.
Five person sare reported dead in
Mexicali. No dead are reported from
the other valley points.
Practically all the dead were said to
be at Mexicali, the little adobe town
consisting principally of saloons, gam
bling halls and other resorts not per
mitted on the American side that lies
across the street from Calexlco.
Of Volcanic Origin
The seismic disturbances, It Is be
lieved, originated somewhere in the
old volcanoes of the Cocopah moun
tains. the granite backbone of Lower
California. To-day the cluster of little
Cities in the Imperial Valley are partly
in ruins. Buildings were rent asunder.
The roar of the quake below the
border was the first warning the people
of the valley had. That was about 8
o'clock. The first shock was the most
severe. Two others followed.
After the first shock the stricken
towns were in darkness excent for the
light furnished by blazing "buildings.
The greatest confusion reigned every
where. Ranchers and city residents
who had homes last night found them
selves to-day in open fields beside
roadways or irrigation ditches.

Bulgaria, who has arrived at Berlin
to confer with the foreign office con
cerning the latest proposal of the
Quadruple entente to Bulgaria, returns
soon. The press of the allied coun

next season.
Miss King, who
is to be married
The us© of Front street, Steelton'a
principal thoroughfare, as a speedway
will be checked after Saturday, when
Burgess Fred Wlgfleld will place a
number of police officers on duty at
frequent distances along the street
with orders to arrest any traffic
violators.
Last year about this time many
complaints were made of alleged reck
less driving and other violations of the
traffic regulations in this street, which
is smoothly paved and makes an ideal
place for a little auto racing. Inas
much as the borough has no traffic or
dinance, motorists fell into the habit
of doing almost as they pleased, it
was declared.
A few weeks after his effort to ob
tain from council a traffic ordinance
had failed Burgess Wigfleld took
things into his own hands, stationed
officers along the street with orders
to make arrests, and In a short time
succeeded In making the street safe
for pedestrians.
During the winter, however, the
traffic officers were removed and now
complaints are beginning again to pour
into the office of the burgess. As a
result, after next Saturday officers
again will be placed on traffic duty.
Patrolman Jones will be stationed at
Front and Mohn streets; Patrolman
Trombino at Front and Pine; Patrol
man Wynn, Front and Adams, and
Patrolman Pearson at Front and
Franklin. These officers will be on
traffic duty during the evening hours,
when the violations are said to be the
most numerous.
The burgess is also considering a
plan to place two men on day duty
instead of only one, as at present.
This plan, however, has not been fully
decided upon.
MERCHANTS WILT; BE
MOUNTED IN PARADE
The big parade on Monday, July 5,
which will be held as a part of Steel
ton's big Independence Day celebra
tion, will be led by fifty mounted mem
bers of the Merchants' Association. It
was decided at a meeting of the gen
eral committee in charge last evening
to give the businessmen the right of
line.
The committee last evening re
ported that the Red Men of the
borough would participate in the
parade and that the Kolonial Kids'
Band of Harrlsburg would be In line.
The Red Men's delegation will In
clude three tribes, one from Middle
town and two from the borough. The
list of fire companies that will be here
continues to grow.
1810 POLES IN STEEI/TON
According to a count just com
pleted by Chief of Police H. P. T.ong
naker there are 1810 poles in Steel
ton. Not all of them are in the for
eign section either, according to the
Chief. For the right to be in the
borough a license fee of twenty-five
cents for each must be paid. Bills
for this license money were sent out
by Borough Secretary Charles P.
Feidt to-day to the various electric

years ago. Every evening the news- ■
paper came to the home in North
Sixth street and Mrs. Hess paid It this
tribute: "It is the most reliable paper
in the olty."
Mr. Ferguson was a well-known Re
publican up to the time of his death
in 1904. C. M. Hess, husband of Mrs.
Hess, Is also a Republican and has
been employed at the State Capitol for

FIRE PLUG STREAM
FLOODS OUT NEGRO
["Continued from First Page]
from Patrolman Spangler a call was
sent to the police station for aid.
Rush Up Squad of Police
Captain of Police Joseph P. Thomp
son, with Sergeant Page and Patrol
men Buch and Weisman and Chauffeur
Demma. were rushed to the Fulton
street house in the patrol. En route
they met Patrolman Cope and took
him along. When the police squad
attempted to enter the Hager home a
warning came from the window on
the second floor to the officers to keep
away.
In the meantime Joe Demmy, the
chauffeur, went to the second floor of
the Blough building, opposite, and
fired two shots into the room occupied
by Hager. Hager answered with three
shots. Then the suggestion was made
to drown the fugitive out. Fire Chief
Klndler, who happened to be In the
crowd, went to the Good Will firehouse
and ordered out the hose squad and
combination hose and chemical appa
ratus.
Answers With a Shot
Sergeant Page, with Patrolmen Buch
and Weisman, took possession of the
stairway leading to the front room
barricaded by Hager. The other pa
trolmen remained on the lower floor.
Demma guarded the front door. One
final request was made to Hager to
surrender. The. answer was a shot
from Hager's revolver through the
room door, the bullet hitting the plas
ter at the head of the stairway.
Captain Thompson ordered the water
turned on from the fire plug. The
force of the stream closed the shut
ters, but one of the slats in the shutter
was broken, and through this opening
the water poured into the room. The
water was rapidly filling up the room,
very little getting out under the crack
of the door. Hager opened fire at the
men with the hose stream, but the
bullets hit the door. After a silence of
three minutes Hager called out that
ho was ready to give up.
Break Open Door
Then came the remark from Hager,
"Good-by, everybody." It was repeat
ed three times. Silence again followed
and all the officers heard were three
clicks as if an attempt was being
made to fire a revolver. Sergeant
Page called to the patrolmen to fol
low him. remarking, "I guess his am
munition is all gone; let's break open
the door."
with one push Sergeant Page broke
open the door. Patrolman Buch was
close on the sergeant's heels. Next
came Patrolman Weisman. Hager
made no resistance. "Come get me,"
he said. Sergeant Page and PatroJ
man Buch placed the nippers on Ha
gar and led him down stairs. Patrol
man Weisman gathered up the ammu
nition. On the bed was a pile of
cartridges. Nearby was the revolver.
Three empty cartridges were found
in the mber, and the three cartridges
that had missed fire. Empty shells
were scattered over the floor.
Threatens to Get Square
While the other patrolmen kept
back the mob, Hager was taken to the
patrol, Patrolman Weisman guarding
the rear. Enroute to the patrol Ha
ger kept up a continuous threat to
get square with his wife, calling her
all sorts of names. When placed in
the patrol he cooled down, and re
marked, "I have nothing to be sorry
for." To a Telegraph reporter who
rode with Hager to the police sta
tion the colored man told this story:
"I was married to that woman four
years ago. I work hard as a watch
man and trackman for the Pennsyl
vania railroad at Lucknow. I work at
night. Because I told her to quit hav
ing other men at my house, or get out,
she took a disliking to me. For the
past year my life has been a hell.
Every morning I come home I find
beer and whisky bottles all around
my house, and my wife gone. She
refused to come and get me my meals.
Says Wife Tried to Poison Him
"On several occasions when I took
her to task for her habits she told
me she would get square. She has
put poison in my food and coffee a
number of times, but it only made me
sick. I told her that I would kill her
if she did not keep men away from
my house. Then she went to Alder
man Landis and had me arrested for
surety of the peace. This morning
when I came home, it was the same
old story. I came home and no break
fast."
Hager is a frail looking fellow. He
was under the influence of liquor when
arrested this morning. He denies us
ing drugs.
Mrs.Hager denied the charges made
by her husband and said he was In
sanely Jealous.
In addition to the wife's charge,
every officer who participated in the
arrest of Hagor to-day will prefer a
charge of felonious assault and bat
tery with Intent to kill. Captain
Thompson who made Inquiries, ex
pressed as his opinion, that Hager was
a drug fiend. He said the fellow had
a bad name in the neighborhood in
which he lived.
