Four new cases of typhoid fever on

worth the time and work put up-
Choose a solid color silk or

of laundering.
Colored silk, or the white for
that matter, may be kept in good
condition by being carefully wash

Use rope silk in making this de

EDWARD F. TREFZ
Speaker at to-day's noonday luncheon
of the Harrisburg Chamber
of Commerce
"If the United States is to be finally
saved for greater things in the fu
ture. it will come through the busi
nessmen of this country," said Ed
ward F. Trefz, of Chicago, to-day. Mr.
Trefz, who, is field secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, was the speaker at the noon
day luncheon of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce at the Harris
burg Club.
Mr. Trefz's subject was, "The Old
Crisis and the New Patriotism." The
speaker was introduced by Secretary
E. 1.,. McColgin, as the leader in Com
mercial work in the United States. Mr.
[Trefz said in part:
"United States is now in a condi
tion never before known. The time
is here for action on the part of busi
nessmen. For sometime a fight has
been waged against the railroads. While
there may have been extortions and
unfairness in the policy of some rail
roads, it is a fact that the railroads
have added to the assets of this coun
try in greater amounts than any other
industry.
Too Many l.aws
"There are too many laws. In Eng
land 1800 laws were enacted in ten
years. In the United States in five
years 6 2,000 laws were passed.
have caused an increase of taxation in [
Wisconsin amounting to 25 per cent. |
In the last Congress there were but
58 members who ever looked a pay
roll in the face. Men of inexperience
are dictating to the businessmen who
are the sufferers. The trouble lies at
the doors of the businessmen of Amer
ica because they do not pick the men
who should represent their interests.
"All over the country business is
rising to a class consciousness, not for
dominance, but for service. And that
city where business serves most pro
fits most."

the causes for so

on the figures obtained by Steward 8.
F. Barber of the almshouse after si*
months' observation of conditions in
the county institution.
Among other things Steward Barber
showed that during 1914 the average
attendance at the almshouse each
month was 130; the average for 1915
has been 200. Most of them aside from
the aged and infirm of course are in
the almshouse as a result of the use
of intoxicants. The average number
of children maintained in the county's
institutions last year was fifty-seven,
to-day there are eighty, an increase of
thirty-three-and-a-thlrd per cent.—
and these youngsters had to be taken
care of by the county because of the
desertion of drunken fathers. Of the
twenty-eight families on the poor
board's pension list, twenty-live were
due to the desertion of husbands and
fathers. Twenty-two of the husbands
and fathers were drunkards.

years has been on the city official map
and in public use."
City Solicitor Seitz filed his answer
late this afternoon and in it the whole
contention of the petitioners is an
swered although in conclusion the city
takes the position that the proceeding]
is irregular in that the petitioners
should have taken the matter into
court by excepting to the report of
the viewers instead of by petitioning
for the dismissal of the viewers.
Street Never Opened
After generally denying the al
legations of the petitions Mr. Seitz
vigorously declares that Front street
in the section in question was never
officially or legally opened. The sec
tion was laid out and the street mark
ed on the map, by the 1869 commis
sion. he points out, and this plan
shows that the street extended to low
water mark.
Inasmuch as the city never carried
out this plan, it is within its right,
the solicitor sets forth, to follow out
the lines laid down by the commission
by exercising the right of eminent
domain and that the present proceed
ings are baaed on this ground. On
this subject City Solicitor Seitz says:
Front street was laid out, es
tablished and marked upon the
city official plan by a certain com
mission appointed under and by
virtue of the act of assembly en
titled, "A supplement to an act
incorporating the city of Harris
burg, in the county of Dauphin,"
approved April 9th, 1869. P. tj.
771, which plan was duly ratified
and confirmed and made valid by
the act of assembly entitled, "A
further supplement to the act in
corporating the city of Harris
burg, in the county of Dauphin,
passed April 9th, 1869," approved
January 2. 1871. Copies of said
plan, with the accompanying ex
planatory report of said commis
sion, were filed In the office of
the prothonotary of the county of
Dauphin, in the office of the re
corder of deeds in and for said
county, and also among the rec
ords of the Common Council of
said city; that said plan, so rati
fied and confirmed and made
valid, with the accompanying re
port, shows that said Front street
was laid out to low water mark
of the Susquehanna river; that no
change in the lines of said Front
street, as adopted by the said
commission of 1869 and con
firmed by the legislature in 1871,
has been made or authorized, and
that said street is now being
opened between the points desig
nated in accordance with the said
plan: that the properties belong
ing to said petitioners are with
in the lines of said street, and are.
with others, the subject of con
demnation under the power of
eminent domain lawfully confer
red upon and exercised by the
citv of Harrisburg, in the proceed
ings which the petitioners are now
endeavoring to have set aside.
One Witness Heard To-day
Only one witness was heard by the
viewers to-day. This was E. G. Slay
baugh, 1130 North Front street, who
thinks his property is worth $7,500.
He based this on what someone told
him he ought to get if the property
wasn't molested. His foot frontage
value he fixed at S2OO per foot, based
on the sale of the Watts' property at
Forster and Front streets.
The question of whether or not a
witness may testify after he has looked
into the records of sales, etc., instead
of his personal knowledge of trans
actions at the time of their occurrence
was ruled out when the viewers re
fused to permit James Dinger to testi

The city will open its side of the
case to-morrow at 10 o'clock.

At the Inquest to-morrow night
Coroner Eckinger will endeavor to
ascertain who was responsible for the
delav in notifying the proper authori
ties of the death of Jacob Milleisen.
The first notice that Mrs. Milleisen
had of her husband's death was late
vfsterda.v afternoon, when Undertaker
Hoover called and asked what dis
position to make of the body.
Revenue Office Busy
Place on Closing Day
This was the last day for payment
of revenue taxes and Ming income tax
statements. Deputy Revenue Collec
tor William S. Bricker was a busy
man. At his offices in the Federal
building:, Mr. Bricker and his clerks
accommodated many callers.
Very few applications were made
for income tax blanks. According to
Mr. Bricker, Harrisburgers are prompt
in sending in their statements. Special
taxes collected by Harry A. Voilmer,
deputy collector, however, kept Mr.
Voilmer and his assistants busy. This
was the last day for the collection of
these special taxes, which include
theaters, cigar stores, pool rooms, pic
ture theaters, amusement parks, pat
ent medicine manufacturers and cigar
manufacturers. A fifty per cent, pen
alty is added to all taxes not paid to

P. R. R. CAFE CAR
HERE SHORT TIME
Similar Equipment to Be Ron to
and From Harrisburg in
Near Future
Local officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and station attaches In
spected the new cafe car yesterday.
The car was en route to Erie. It will
be run between Kane and Erie, start
ing- to-morrow. The car was built at
the Altoona shops and has been In
Philadelphia for the Inspctlon of offi
cials.
The new car is intended for use on
trains where a dining car is not war
ranted by the travel. The buffet oc
cupies about eight feet of space at one
end o' the car and is similar to those
Jn&talled in broiler buffet Pullman
cars, but Is of an improved type,
alcohol broilers being used instead of
coal fires.
Meals wil be served on tables placed
between the seats, with the outer ends
resting on the arms. No extra fare will
be charged for riding in the coach cafe
car: in fact, it will be in the regular
seivice as an ordinary day coach.
The car has a seating capacity of
seventy, and except for the buffet it is
exactly like the heavy modern steel
day coaches used by the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
A supplementary use for the coach
cafe car will be to serve breakfasts in
sleeping cars on the same train where
no buffets or dining cars are provided.
